Chapter 2520

Cui Wan scanned the group. "Our coordination was decent this time, but I noticed some flaws.

First, we used too much medicine. I found that the scorpions could only absorb thirty percent of the dosage, yet we used sixty percent. That means we wasted thirty percent. We are only in a competition now, not fighting real enemies. If we miscalculate in a real battle and use too much medicine, we might win temporarily, but we will face shortages later. So, from now on, we must not only find medicine but also make it, to prepare for any shortage. Does anyone object?"

"No," Gong Jue spoke first. "Based on my calculations, at our normal pace, we can walk out of this desert in about an hour. So, we will have more medicine soon. Besides saving some, it is very necessary to use the current environment to make the medicine we need."

"Mm." The other disciples nodded in agreement.

Cui Wan looked satisfied. "The second point is for Junior Brother Zhou Tong. You were a bit slow when collecting the scorpions. We are in a competition, so as long as it is one hundred percent safe, we should try to speed up everything."

"Okay, Senior Sister. I will improve," Zhou Tong accepted Cui Wan’s advice seriously.

Cui Wan was satisfied again, her small face still serious. "Alright, does anyone else have opinions? If not, we must continue moving. The first round only lasts ten days. We need to rest while moving. Especially, if my prediction is correct, there will be fewer fights among us in the first seven days. But starting from the eighth day, we might face absolute schemes against us. We are a new sect, but each of our ten members represents ten points. Plus the points we collected, I expect fights will increase from the eighth day. So, in the first seven days, we must gather medicine and kill monsters or spiritual creatures to boost our points, and make more self-defense medicine. Did everyone remember?"

"Remembered." The other nine disciples nodded seriously. Since Cui Wan was the eldest senior sister, they had to listen to her.

Seeing that everyone remembered, Cui Wan said, "Alright, since that is settled, let us set off again."

They maintained the same formation as before: Gong Jue in front, Yun Ling and Chen Xiang flanking on both sides, Wang Shanqiang in the middle, and Cui Wan at the rear. They moved forward together.

The summary Cui Wan just gave appeared on the silver screens. All other sects watching were stunned.

Although these ten children were very young, the outsiders saw their steadiness and how they watched out for each other.

The poison scorpions were nothing to them; for those present, they were just small things. But these young people handled the scorpions perfectly for the first time. Instead of becoming proud, they summarized their flaws. On this point, Lang Yi admitted that even if their Sword Palace entered such a secret realm, they had never seen such timely summaries.

"This child is quite remarkable," Lang Yi said.

Ping Chuan agreed, "But I am curious about their sect leader now. What kind of person could train such smart disciples?"

Disciples' natural talent was important, but being trained to be smart and adaptable made Ping Chuan very curious about the leader of the Azure Sovereign Sect.

Lang Yi looked at Ping Chuan and said, "Ping Chuan, do you think they can enter the top one thousand this time?"

Ping Chuan smiled lightly. "If we look at the current point trend, yes. But it depends on the last three days. Just as this little girl said, the last three days are the most dangerous."

"How about we two bet? I bet they can make it," Lang Yi said with a grin.

Ping Chuan replied, "You want to trick my immortal jade again, don't you? It is obvious. But since you are interested, a bet is fine. I bet ten pieces of high-grade immortal jade."

Actually, giving ten pieces to Lang Yi was almost the same as giving it to him directly. After all, the two brothers had a good relationship, so Ping Chuan had no objection. However, things were a bit boring at this moment, so setting up a bet was nice.

Cui Wan and her group did not know this. They just moved forward slowly. Indeed, as Gong Jue predicted, they entered a grassland after an hour.

There was naturally plenty of medicine in the grassland. Cui Wan and her group carefully gathered medicine and started making it.

They planned to stay in the grassland for one day. Cui Wan assigned tasks. Besides Cui Wan making medicine and Gong Jue refining pills, everyone else started gathering medicine.

With this division of labor, they produced a considerable amount of medicine and pills in one day.

Then, they found a relatively safe place to rest for the night. The next day, they continued.

Compared to the ease of Cui Wan’s group, people from other sects were very tense.

Cui Wan’s group ate three meals as usual, rested at night, and moved forward steadily. However, conflicts among other sects had entered a white-hot stage early. This was because the Bear Tiger Sect encountered the Guo Family.

The two factions already had a rift. Upon meeting, they naturally engaged in a fierce struggle. Needless to say, although the Guo Family had deep roots, they ultimately lost to the Bear Tiger Sect. The members of the Guo Family were then eliminated.

Those eliminated directly did not need further explanation. It was only the first few days, but there could be exceptions with high points. However, the Guo Family was clearly not among those exceptions.

The bloody journey started by the Bear Tiger Sect caused countless sects to enter a bloody sweep from the fifth day. However, this did not affect Cui Wan’s group. In fact, it was not easy for them to be affected. Perhaps they were lucky, but they did not encounter any teams in the places they passed through.

Until the eighth day, they entered a forest.

There was naturally more medicine in the forest than elsewhere. Cui Wan and her group were very careful all the way. Because of the large quantity of medicine, the points were quite considerable. The points they gained from gathering medicine had always been in the top ten. However, since others used direct robbery, their current position was in the top fifty, which was still a very good result.

"Be careful. Ambushes are most common in forests," Cui Wan told everyone to stop temporarily. Then she said to Gong Jue, "Junior Brother Gong, try to see if you can find any clues."

Gong Jue nodded, took out a turtle shell, and divined slightly. "Bloodshed will occur ahead. We cannot avoid it."
