But they couldn't consume it all.
They had to bring back some as per the rules.
Nonetheless, they were all excited and envisioned a bright path ahead.
Before the expedition, they received tips from the Chief Instructor, resulting in their substantial harvest of spiritual herbs and plants. Each one of them was quite pleased with themselves.
Wen Shumo for example, estimated with delight that his bountiful harvest might surpass that of his senior, the kind-hearted 'big brother'.
Prior to this, he had heard stories of predecessors who were fortunate to enter before him, one from Yan State had managed to harvest just thirty-nine spiritual herbs and yet secured the third place.
This time, he had harvested a grand total of fifty-seven varieties of spiritual herbs and plants!
Surely, with this feat, he was destined for the top rank!
He was truly blessed. He had stumbled upon a Spiritual Fruit tree during his journey.
