Wu You looked in the direction the youth pointed and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
“Young Master Wu need not be polite,” the youth said with a smile.
Wu You then said, “Little brother, after we leave here, you’re welcome to visit our Beast Emperor Sect.”
The youth nodded, “Alright, if I have the chance, I’ll definitely visit the Beast Emperor Sect.”
“Then we’ll part ways here, see you later.” After saying this, Wu You dashed madly in the direction the youth pointed and soon disappeared from sight.
The youth stood in place, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.
“See you later? Hehe, good luck to you!”
The direction he had pointed to earlier was the death gate, going that way meant nine deaths and one life.
Afterwards, the youth stepped forward and walked on.
……
Ye Qiu and the other two continued forward for half an hour, not only did they not see any treasures, they did not even see a single living person.
The Undying Mountain was truly too vast.
“Daozhang, why don’t you divine a hexagram to see where there are treasures?” Lin Daniao suggested.
“Alright.” Changmei Zhenren took out three copper coins, tossed them with his palm, and the three coins rotated above his head while he muttered incantations.
Ten seconds later.
“Pa!”
The three copper coins landed in Changmei Zhenren’s palm, arranged in a straight line.
“How is it?” Lin Daniao asked.
Changmei Zhenren grinned, “A sign of great fortune.”
Thud!
Ye Qiu’s heart tightened, his sharp gaze swept around, quietly raising his vigilance.
Lin Daniao pressed, “Then which way should we go next?”
“Straight ahead, there must be treasures, let’s go.” After saying this, Changmei Zhenren led the way forward.
Lin Daniao was about to follow but was held back by the sleeve by Ye Qiu.
“Daniao, your cultivation is weaker, it’s safer to stay by my side.” Ye Qiu said.
Lin Daniao said moved, “Thank you, big brother.”
Ye Qiu smiled, “No need to be polite with me, you’ve recognised me as big brother, so naturally I have to take care of you.”
The two followed behind Changmei Zhenren.
They walked for another half hour.
Suddenly, the medicine marten squatting on Ye Qiu’s shoulder made “ji ji” sounds, its little paws pointing continuously ahead.
Ye Qiu knew the medicine marten’s sense of smell was very sensitive and asked, “Little one, are you saying there’s spirit medicine ahead?”
The medicine marten nodded vigorously.
“So, the old thing’s hexagram was accurate?” Ye Qiu chuckled in surprise.
The group continued walking forward.
After about ten minutes, Changmei Zhenren suddenly stopped and whispered, “Little brat, there’s a situation.”
Ye Qiu looked up and saw six men sitting cross-legged on the ground a hundred metres away.
From the clothing on these men, he recognised at a glance that these guys were from the Yin Yang Sect.
At this time, these people from the Yin Yang Sect were guarding in front of an ancient tree.
The ancient tree was thicker than several bathtubs, over ten zhang tall, with lush branches and leaves, like a giant umbrella covering the sky.
From afar, Ye Qiu saw a green old vine wrapped around the sturdy branches of the ancient tree, with dozens of green fruits on the old vine.
These fruits were about the size of green apples, looking full of vitality.
“Longevity fruits!”
Lin Daniao saw the fruits and exclaimed.
“Daniao, you recognise those fruits?” Changmei Zhenren asked.
“Yes.” Lin Daniao said, “They’re called longevity fruits, as the name suggests, they can extend lifespan.”
“Longevity fruits flower every three thousand years, bear fruit after another three thousand years, and mature after yet another three thousand years.”
Changmei Zhenren was startled and said, “Isn’t this the legendary ginseng fruit?”
“No, no!” Lin Daniao said, “Ginseng fruit is a divine medicine, longevity fruits are extraordinary but cannot be compared to ginseng fruits.”
“One ginseng fruit can increase lifespan by a thousand years.”
“But one longevity fruit can only increase lifespan by three hundred years!”
What, it can increase lifespan by three hundred years?
Changmei Zhenren and Ye Qiu’s gazes both became fervent at the same time, though their thoughts differed.
Changmei Zhenren thought to himself, one longevity fruit can increase lifespan by three hundred years, so if he ate a dozen or so, wouldn’t that increase his lifespan by several thousand years?
Ye Qiu was thinking, since longevity fruits have the effect of increasing lifespan, if he took all these fruits back, Sister Lin and the others could each live for several hundred years.
If he refined some high-grade beauty-preserving pills, combined with the effects of longevity fruits, Sister Lin and the others could not only maintain their appearance but also live for several hundred years, it would be wonderful.
For a moment, both felt tempted.
Lin Daniao did not know what they were thinking and continued, “Although longevity fruits can increase lifespan, it’s only effective for cultivators below the Divine Connection realm, once cultivation reaches the Divine Connection realm, taking longevity fruits will have no effect at all.”
“Because longevity fruits can increase lifespan, their price is not cheap.”
“In the cultivation world, one mature longevity fruit sells for three million spirit stones.”
“If it’s at a place like Rongbao Pavilion, one longevity fruit could probably sell for five million spirit stones.”
One fruit worth five million spirit stones?
Changmei Zhenren’s eyes went straight upon hearing this.
“If this poor Daoist gets all these fruits, eats a dozen or so to increase lifespan by several thousand years, then sells a dozen or so to get tens of millions of spirit stones, how delightful.”
Thinking of this, Changmei Zhenren stepped forward, already unable to hold back from making a move to seize them.
“Daozhang, you want the longevity fruits?”
Lin Daniao saw Changmei Zhenren’s intention and said, “Daozhang, if you make a move now, even if you grab the longevity fruits, they would be useless.”
“Why?” Changmei Zhenren was puzzled.
Lin Daniao explained, “Because the longevity fruits are not yet mature.”
Changmei Zhenren was stunned and asked, “Then when will they mature?”
“After longevity fruits mature, the skin turns red, I think it should be soon, otherwise the Yin Yang Sect people wouldn’t be guarding here.” Lin Daniao reminded, “Daozhang, I advise you not to make a move to seize them.”
“The Yin Yang Sect is not to be trifled with, offend them and you might regret it.”
Changmei Zhenren disagreed, “I’ve killed people from the Yin Yang Sect before, this poor Daoist is not afraid of them.”
“Right, little brat, as we agreed, you must not make a move later.”
“Leave those disciples from the Yin Yang Sect to this poor Daoist to handle, you must not snatch the longevity fruits from me.”
Ye Qiu asked, “What if you can’t beat them?”
“How could I not beat them.” Changmei Zhenren said, “I observed earlier, those six guys are all at the peak of Golden Core, same realm as this poor Daoist, I can definitely take them down.”
Ye Qiu smiled, “You observed quite carefully.”
The three waited in place for a while, suddenly, the six disciples from the Yin Yang Sect stood up.
Ye Qiu and Changmei Zhenren stared at the longevity fruits, seeing the skin of the longevity fruits gradually turn red, in less than twenty minutes, the longevity fruits became bright red, fresh and dripping, with fragrance overflowing.
“The longevity fruits are mature…”
Before Lin Daniao finished speaking, Changmei Zhenren had already rushed out.
