“Disciple Guo Mingxuan has also cultivated Earth Spirit Ginseng.”

A long-faced young man with narrow eyes stepped out from the crowd.

As he moved forward, his gaze slid toward Li Tianyu with open disdain.

The moment the surrounding disciples recognized him, the entire crowd stirred with excitement.

“It’s Elder Brother Guo Mingxuan!”

“I heard Elder Brother Guo’s skill with spirit herbs is just as strong as Li Tianyu’s!”

“That’s right. They’re always ranked first and second on Thousand Herbs Peak!”

The atmosphere changed instantly.

Disciples shifted their attention between the two men, sensing that something interesting was about to happen.

“Well, well… looks like we’re about to see a competition.”

“They’ve been rivals for years.”

“Both of them want the title of number one spirit herb cultivator among the disciples.”

Li Tianyu’s expression darkened immediately.

His eyes turned cold as he stared at Guo Mingxuan.

Guo Mingxuan returned the look without hesitation.

The tension between them thickened instantly.

Even the air seemed heavier.

“Guo Mingxuan, go ahead and show us your Earth Spirit Ginseng,” Elder Hou said encouragingly.

Even he looked slightly curious.

After all, he had long known about the rivalry between the two young disciples—and truthfully, he welcomed it.

Competition created progress.

Without rivals, talent often stagnated.

Guo Mingxuan clasped his hands respectfully toward Elder Hou.

“Understood, Elder.”

Then he took out two enormous Earth Spirit Ginseng roots.

The moment they landed on the ground, the crowd gasped.

Each root was more than seventy-five centimeters long—nearly the size of a child’s body.

Their surfaces glowed faintly, almost crystalline, as if they had spent decades absorbing pure spiritual energy deep beneath the earth.

A dense wave of herbal energy spread outward like an invisible tide.

Compared to them, Li Tianyu’s half-meter ginseng suddenly looked ordinary.

The crowd immediately erupted into loud discussion.

“Seventy-five centimeters…!”

The shout came from somewhere in the crowd.

Another disciple leaned forward, eyes wide with disbelief.

“Those Earth Spirit Ginseng roots actually reached seventy-five centimeters!”

“I’ve heard they could grow that long,” someone else said, shaking his head. “But I’ve never seen it with my own eyes.”

“How long would it take to cultivate something like that?”

“Look at them,” another disciple murmured in awe. “They’re already emitting spiritual energy.”

A ripple of admiration spread through the crowd.

“Elder Brother Guo’s skill with spirit herbs is definitely the best among the Outer Sect disciples of Thousand Herbs Peak!”

Seeing the crowd erupt with excitement, Guo Mingxuan slowly turned his head.

His gaze landed on Li Tianyu.

A faint, provocative smile appeared on his face.

Li Tianyu’s expression darkened instantly.

Elder Hou leaned forward and carefully inspected the massive ginseng roots.

The moment he examined them closely, praise filled his eyes.

“Excellent… truly excellent.”

He stroked his beard slowly while studying the roots.

“Quite a few disciples have submitted Earth Spirit Ginseng today,” he said thoughtfully. “But in terms of quality, yours are clearly the best.”

He nodded approvingly.

“These roots have already grown to seventy-five centimeters and have begun emitting spiritual energy.”

He paused for emphasis.

“They are far beyond high-grade.”

His voice carried authority as he concluded.

“They can only be classified as superior-grade spirit medicine.”

He looked at the young man with satisfaction.

“Very good, Guo Mingxuan. Continue working hard.”

Guo Mingxuan bowed respectfully.

“Thank you for your guidance, Elder Hou.”

When he straightened, he turned toward Li Tianyu.

The smile on his face was calm—but unmistakably challenging.

“Junior Brother Chen,” he said lightly, “it seems you still need to put a little more effort into your studies.”

Li Tianyu’s expression grew colder.

He let out a sharp snort.

“Isn’t it a little early to celebrate, Elder Brother Guo?”

His voice dropped, icy and sharp.

“After all… it hardly counts when an Inner Disciple helps you.”

The accusation sliced through the air like a blade.

Guo Mingxuan burst into loud laughter.

“When you lose, you should learn how to accept it,” he said coldly. “Go back and study harder. If all you do is make excuses and blame others, you’ll never improve.”

Li Tianyu’s eyes burned with anger.

“Soon, I’ll cultivate a one-meter Earth Spirit Ginseng,” he declared.

Guo Mingxuan smirked.

“Junior Brother Chen,” he said mockingly, “if you brag too much, you’re only setting yourself up for embarrassment.”

He casually pointed toward the enormous ginseng roots on the ground.

“Earth Spirit Ginseng requires an enormous amount of spiritual energy to grow,” he explained with a smirk.

“For Qi Condensation disciples like us, reaching seventy-five centimeters is already the absolute limit.”

His eyes gleamed with ridicule.

“And you think you can grow one to a full meter?”

He shook his head.

“Only Foundation Establishment elders could accomplish something like that.”

His tone grew even more dismissive.

“And that’s not even talking about one meter.”

He crossed his arms confidently.

“In all the years I’ve been in this sect… I’ve never even seen a one-meter Earth Spirit Ginseng before.”

Before Guo Mingxuan could finish—

A sudden shout exploded from the edge of the crowd.

“What—what is that?!”

Another voice cried out immediately after.

“Wait… why did the spiritual energy just change?!”

A wave of disturbance rippled through the courtyard. Disciples began turning their heads in confusion, some even stepping back as the air itself started to thrum with a strange pressure.

The tense confrontation between Guo Mingxuan and Li Tianyu instantly broke.

Both men frowned and turned toward the source of the disturbance.

At first, it was only a faint golden glow along the distant mountain path.

Then the glow grew brighter.

Stronger.

Soon a lone figure began to emerge along the stone road.

Someone was walking up the path.

And across that person’s back—

Three enormous objects were slung over his shoulders.

Even from a distance, they radiated a brilliant multicolored light.

But the most shocking part wasn’t the glow.

It was the overwhelming wave of spiritual energy pouring from them.

The moment the disciples sensed it, shocked cries erupted across the courtyard.

“Wh—what is that thing?!”

“It looks like… a human!”

“No… wait… that’s not a person!”

A disciple suddenly shouted.

“That’s Earth Spirit Ginseng!”

The crowd exploded into chaos.

Li Tianyu and Guo Mingxuan both frowned deeply.

Even with their experience cultivating spirit herbs, they couldn’t immediately understand what they were seeing.

However, one thing was certain.

Whatever those things were…

They were extraordinary.

Off to the side, Elder Hou suddenly leaned forward.

His eyes widened dramatically.

He stared at the approaching shapes, his breathing growing noticeably heavier.

When the figure finally stepped fully into view, the entire courtyard fell into stunned silence.

Three enormous Earth Spirit Ginseng roots rested across the man’s shoulders.

Each one was nearly one and a half meters long.

Their bodies were thick and full, shaped uncannily like adult human figures.

Golden veins pulsed beneath their skin, while faint violet specks shimmered across their surface like distant stars.

Dense spiritual energy radiated from them in waves so powerful that the air itself seemed to ripple.

And those three massive roots were being carried—

By Alex.

The surrounding Outer Sect disciples instinctively stepped aside as he walked forward.

Alex staggered slightly under the weight and lowered the ginseng roots onto the ground with a heavy thud.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathing hard.

“Man… I’m exhausted.”

Only then did he notice Elder Hou sitting nearby.

“Oh.”

He gave a casual nod.

“Hello, Elder.”

Alex gestured toward the enormous roots behind him.

“I’m here to submit this mission.”

At that moment, he suddenly felt something strange.

The entire courtyard had gone quiet.

Alex slowly turned his head and looked around.

Only then did he realize that every single person present was staring at the giant roots lying on the ground.

Some disciples were openly gasping.

Others stood frozen in shock.

Alex blinked in confusion.

“…Earth Spirit Ginseng?”

He scratched his head awkwardly.

“You guys are staring like you’ve never seen it before.”

He glanced down at the massive roots again.

“…It is Earth Spirit Ginseng, right?”

A disciple suddenly shouted from the crowd.

“That’s impossible!”

“I’ve never seen Earth Spirit Ginseng that huge before!”

Another voice joined in disbelief.

“Come on! Those can’t be herbs!”

“They’re the size of a human body!”

Nearby, Li Tianyu and Guo Mingxuan could barely hide their shock.

Now that they could see the roots clearly, they finally understood what they were looking at.

But even so…

They could hardly believe it was real.

Without hesitation, both men rushed forward and dropped to their knees beside the enormous roots.

Their hands trembled slightly as they began examining them up close.
