Inside, the same disciple greeted him again, looking curious. "Back so soon?"
"Yes," Han Yu replied. "I am returning the rest of the Ripple Calming Flower. Six petals remain. Please log the usage accordingly. The rest will be sent back to the sect for evaluation once we leave the realm."
The disciple nodded, taking the box reverently. "Understood, Senior Brother. You will receive your recorded merit points once the exchange is approved. Based on the herb's rarity and use, I would estimate around thirty to forty thousand merit points for each member involved."
Han Yu inclined his head. "That will be acceptable."
As the disciple filed the paperwork, Han Yu glanced around the tent.
Other groups were returning as well, some with ores, some with beast cores, others with damaged relic fragments. Each item was precious in its own way, but few carried the quiet, steady usefulness of the Ripple Calming Flower.
