Upon hearing this, the female cultivator's eyes flashed, and she looked at the sword cultivator with a hint of anticipation.
The sword cultivator awkwardly turned his face away, "The demon core represents the collective honor of the sect, and I cannot give it away to others without permission."
Liu Jinghong clicked her tongue and then looked at the others.
Feng Sili sighed, enduring the throbbing pain in her chest from the backlash, and cupped her hands to Liu Jinghong, "Since I have received such a great kindness from Junior Brother Liu, there is no reason not to repay it. The demon core should be offered."
After saying that, Feng Sili took off the scoring pouch from her body and handed it to Liu Jinghong. It was marked with the words "For Trial Only" and was issued before entering the secret realm to hold demon cores. It was an unclaimed item with a restriction on it. When the holder was ejected from the secret realm, the scoring pouch would fall to the spot where it was placed.
Liu Jinghong took it, looked Feng Sili up and down several times, and then smiled and said, "This must be... Senior Brother Feng from Penglai."
"Junior Brother Liu is intelligent."
Liu Jinghong said "Excuse me" and then pulled Feng Sili to her right, before continuing to ask the rest of the group, "What about yours?"

Liu Jinghong didn't catch them, letting them fall to her feet.
Several disciples of the Hehuan Sect exchanged glances, understanding each other's meaning, and one after another took off their scoring pouches and threw them in front of Liu Jinghong.
In the end, only the female cultivator from the Jade Maiden Sect remained. Seeing that everyone had already compromised, she gritted her teeth as if she wanted to shatter them. She fiercely pulled off the scoring pouch and threw it at Liu Jinghong's face.
Liu Jinghong gently raised her fan and blocked it.
The young man's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He glanced at the female cultivator, and the smile on his lips faded.
"Are you thinking that we can just give away the demon core and take it back once things calm down? After all, I'm only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, right?"
