Treasure Hunting

The Herbal Mountain, which was located right next to the Welkin Sect, was actually a bluff mountain, and herbs under the third grade grew on it, in abundance.

As it was very steep from all sides and most of the herbs grew on the sheer cliffs, collecting herbs posed a challenge to whoever wanted to do so. Nevertheless, many disciples wanted to try their luck.

Zachary followed the crowd to the foot of the Herbal Mountain. When he reached there, he saw many disciples already waiting there anxiously. Most of them were at the Foundation Establishment.

"Don't push. Only those disciples who get the number plates can have access to the Herbal Mountain. Only one hundred are available, and it is first come, first served," someone shouted in the front of the crowd.

"Please, give me one. If you give it to me, I promise I will do anything for you. Anything!"

"This is my last chance to become an official disciple! Please, help me! I request you to give me a chance."

"Dude, the happiness of the rest of my life depends on you now."

Almost all the disciples at the Foundation Establishment seemed to have gone crazy. Yelling and pushing one another, they were trying to get close to the disciples who were holding the number plates, as they wanted them desperately.

Zachary was a little surprised to see such a scene. Narrowing his eyes, he activated Shadow Pace and elbowed his way through the crowd hurriedly, until he got to the front. A few disciples at the Mortal Level from the Welkin Sect were handing out the number plates. Since only a hundred number plates were available, it was evident that there were not enough for everyone. Without hesitating, Zachary reached out and tried to grab the one which was the closest to him. Just as he was about to get hold of one, a hand appeared from nowhere and snatched it.

"You! Loser! How dare you try to sneak your way here and rob the others' chances to get to the Herbal Mountain! Do you really think that you are capable of becoming a formal disciple?" a familiar voice called out mockingly.

Turning around, Zachary saw the man who had snatched the number plate from him. It was none other than Benjamin, whom he had insulted with his Shadow Pace.

Zachary was a little surprised and worried to see Benjamin. He knew that he could get into trouble because, besides being loathsome, Benjamin was an obnoxious person.

Benjamin shook the number plate and threw it to the crowd. People who saw
