The words had barely left his mouth when the gazes of the two elders fell upon Fu Qing, seeking his confirmation.
"It seems you do have some insight," Fu Qing said with a nod. "We obtained a total of five Heaven Reaching Fruits."
"Five… five?!"
The two elders were stunned into a daze. They exchanged glances, and one of them even dug at his ear. "I didn't mishear, did I? Five fruits?!"
"It seems we didn't," the other elder replied, nodding dumbly, as if he were in a dream.
Fu Qing paid no mind to their shock and continued, "I've already given one of the Heaven Reaching Fruits to Long Chen. Our Guiyuan Academy was able to obtain these fruits thanks to the indispensable contributions of all the disciples who went to the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land. However, the most critical factor was Long Chen's presence. Otherwise, these Heaven Reaching Fruits would never have ended up in our hands."
