Lin Yun could definitely catch them if he chased.
However, Lin Yun had no time to pursue them now.
After all, the recent battle had caused significant fluctuations, and the commotion might attract other teams.
If Lin Yun chased now and other teams followed the noise, what if they picked the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit?
Harvesting these Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits was the top priority!
“First, I’ll pick these Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits.”
With that, Lin Yun swiftly flew towards the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits.
There were eight in total, and Lin Yun harvested them in moments. Returning to the shore, he also collected the storage rings of those he had slain.
No matter how many resources they had, it was all spoils of war, free for the taking.
“Master, we shouldn’t linger here!” Xiao Bai transmitted.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Lin Yun burst into speed, leaving the area to avoid detection.
An innocent man with treasure invites trouble. Such valuable items would surely cause issues if other teams targeted him.
Though Lin Yun was confident in his strength, facing a Tribulation Realm expert would be extremely troublesome!
After fleeing over a thousand miles, Lin Yun spotted a cliff ahead and flew into it.
“Phew, finally far from the crime scene.” Lin Yun grinned.
Then, Lin Yun opened his hand, revealing a Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit.
The fruit was encased in a silver skin, with a faint red glow inside. Just holding it gave a unique sensation.
“A hundred thousand years old, tsk tsk.” Lin Yun stared at the fruit, his eyes gleaming.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit wasn’t an especially rare type, but its immense age made it extraordinarily valuable.
And there were eight of them!
This haul alone made the trip worthwhile.
“But now’s not the time to consume it. I need to keep exploring this spiritual treasure.”
Lin Yun stored the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit.
Cultivating here would waste too much time.
If there were other treasures in this spiritual treasure, the short period just after entering was the best time to compete for them.
If he stayed here cultivating for days, by the time he emerged, other opportunities and treasures would likely be taken by others, leaving nothing for him.
“Master, after that Baili Clan elder escaped, if he meets their other teams, he’ll surely inform their Tribulation Realm expert,” Xiao Bai said.
With some concern, Xiao Bai continued, “I’m worried that if the Baili Clan spreads this news, letting all teams in the spiritual treasure know you have the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit, it’ll be trouble.”
An innocent man with treasure invites trouble. If every team knew Lin Yun had the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit, they’d come to seize it!
Then, Lin Yun could become a target for all.
Lin Yun’s gaze narrowed, “He’ll definitely tell the Baili Clan’s Tribulation Realm expert, but he won’t leak it to other teams. Such a treasure—they’d want to monopolise it. Sharing the news with others would drastically reduce their chances. They’re not that foolish.”
Telling other teams would mean inviting competition.
Lin Yun was certain the Baili Clan’s Tribulation Realm expert would want to keep it secret, kill him, and let the Baili Clan monopolise the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits.
“Hm, master’s reasoning makes sense,” Xiao Bai agreed.
“But that Baili Clan Tribulation Realm expert will definitely seek revenge. Still, I’m not afraid. Even if I can’t win, with my defence, I’ll survive. He can’t kill me!” Lin Yun said with confidence.
Generally, Tribulation Realm experts were formidable, having survived a failed tribulation.
Weaker Tribulation Realm cultivators died upon failing their tribulation. Those who survived were exceptional, with impressive means!
Even a failed tribulation greatly boosted their strength.
Though Lin Yun had never fought a Tribulation Realm expert, he was confident in himself, especially in defence.
“Let’s go, we’ll keep exploring. Xiao Bai, I’m counting on you next.” Lin Yun stood, smiling.
White Ze Beasts naturally understood all things.
For treasure hunting, its role was irreplaceable!
Meanwhile, Lin Yun quickly altered his appearance and aura, preparing to present himself differently.
“Master, rest assured, if I find anything, I’ll notify you immediately,” Xiao Bai transmitted with a smile.
Lin Yun swiftly left, continuing to search the spiritual treasure.
He held high expectations for this spiritual treasure.
Lin Yun knew its vast size, like a small world, meant he couldn’t find every treasure. Other teams would have their opportunities too. He’d take what he could.
…
Elsewhere.
The white-haired Baili Clan elder, gravely injured by Lin Yun, fled and used the Baili Clan’s token to rendezvous with their Tribulation Realm elder.
In the spiritual treasure, before a waterfall.
Boom!
A massive waterfall crashed down, deafening.
The Baili Clan’s Tribulation Realm elder, leading a team, stood there.
“Elder Mu, what are those?” A clan member pointed at translucent beads on the waterfall’s stone wall.
There were at least tens of thousands of such beads on the wall.
“Go fetch one,” the Tribulation Realm elder, Elder Mu, waved.
“Yes!”
The man rushed up, retrieved a bead, and handed it to Elder Mu.
After examining it, Elder Mu said, “These are naturally formed, containing unique energy for Tribulation Realm cultivation. One is worth ten Tribulation Pills.”
“What?”
The Baili Clan members were stunned.
Looking at the translucent beads, their eyes gleamed.
One bead equalling ten Tribulation Pills, with tens of thousands on the wall, meant hundreds of thousands of Tribulation Pills.
Even split among them, it was a massive haul!
In the Baili Clan, obtaining even a few Tribulation Pills was arduous!
“Go harvest them,” Elder Mu waved.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The Baili Clan members, thrilled, rushed towards the waterfall’s stone wall!
This was their opportunity!
Elder Mu, the Tribulation Realm expert, stood still. These were useless to him, as he no longer needed Tribulation Pills.
Just then, the white-haired elder, previously injured by Lin Yun, hurriedly approached.
“Elder Mu, something’s happened! Something’s happened!” the white-haired elder shouted, rushing over.
“Elder Zhen, what’s with the panic? Where’s your team?” Elder Mu frowned.
