Chapter 238: Spirit Connecting Fruit
If Lin Xuan was here, he would realize that he knew everyone here.
Lin Xuan, who was walking, sensed several powerful auras. His footsteps could not help but slow down, and he carefully looked around with a puzzled expression.
“The Golden Valley should be around here. I sense the auras of many cultivators. Why can’t I find it?”
Lin Xuan looked around. Giant trees that reached the sky sat on this mountain one after another. The spiritual qi contained a faint metal origin source.
The little guy acted as if this had nothing to do with him. He took out a spiritual fruit and started to eat it. Although he was a few years older than Lin Xuan, his mind was far from being as mature and experienced as Lin Xuan.
When they walked into the depths of the forest, the little guy’s nose moved slightly as he cried out in surprise, “There’s delicious food ahead.”
Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up. Huang Hao was not good at other things, but he was very sensitive to the aura of the spirit fruit. There must be something good ahead.
Huang Hao immediately ran in front of Lin Xuan and could not wait to find the source of the aura.
“Little guy, wait for me.” Lin Xuan hurriedly followed.
A fiery red small tree grew between two huge rocks. The branches that were as thick as an arm formed a strong contrast with the surrounding towering trees. Many spiritual fruits that were like luminous pearls hung on the small tree, emitting a faint fragrance.
Lin Xuan took a faint breath of spiritual qi and could actually feel the spiritual qi in his body growing, making him feel a little surprised.
“Could this be a spiritual tree?” Lin Xuan was a little uncertain.
The Spirit Connecting Fruit Tree had been extinct ten thousand years ago because the process of growing it was extremely difficult.
The spiritual tree that had just grown was so thick that even a thousand people could not hug it. Its branches broke through the clouds. In a thousand years, if it could not turn into a small tree as thick as an arm, it would wither and die.
The evolved small tree had to endure the nine calcinations of the heavenly fire and endure it every thousand years before it turned into the spiritual tree in front of it and bore the Spirit Connecting Fruit.
The effects of the Spirit Connecting Fruit were even more heaven-defying. Below the Purple Prefecture, one could advance one level unconditionally. After a talentless trash ate it, they could expand their dantian and enter the Body Refinement realm.
“No matter what this is, the taste is definitely not bad.” The little guy’s saliva was about to drip down as he stretched out his hand to pluck it.
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. Such a spiritual object was actually only food in his eyes.
A leaf slowly fell. Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, and his feet lightened as he instantly disappeared from the spot.
“Little guy, be careful!”
Swoosh!
The sky was filled with countless black spots. Sharp arrows and spiritual qi landed.
Lin Xuan punched the huge tree and kicked it into the sky. The dense arrows turned the huge tree into a sieve. These arrows looked inconspicuous, but the power on them could threaten Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
If so many arrows landed on the little guy, it would be a problem if he could survive.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan’s eyes turned cold.
The little guy was one of his few friends. He did not allow anyone to harm Huang Hao.
The group of people with arrow baskets on their backs and bows in their hands used the tree branches to borrow the force. One by one, they descended from the sky and landed around Lin Xuan and the other two.
There were some cultivators following behind. The clothes on some of the cultivators made Lin Xuan feel especially familiar.
The little guy finished picking the spiritual fruit and came to Lin Xuan’s side.
“Burp!”
Only then did Lin Xuan discover that when the bow and arrow descended earlier, the little guy had already eaten a spiritual fruit. His body emitted a loud sound as he entered the ninth level of Foundation Establishment from the seventh level.
Lin Xuan admired Huang Hao a little. He could even endure such a situation.
Normally, after eating the spiritual fruits, one could only break through one level. However, the little guy treated spiritual herbs as snacks and ate them. A large number of spiritual medicines accumulated in his body, and the spiritual fruits happened to become the fuse. It triggered all of this energy and continuously broke through two levels.
“Oh? I didn’t expect there to be such a treasure in the mystic realm. I want it.”
In a group of bow and arrow guards, a black shadow slowly walked out. Looking at the two people who were like children, he felt a little surprised.
One had to know that when his guards shot out their arrows, they could form an array formation. Killing ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators was not a problem. Otherwise, they would not have brought these guards in.
In other words, the two children in front of him who did not look big had strength above the Foundation Establishment realm.
Seeing that the two of them were unmoved, the black shadow said proudly, “Hand over the treasure and I’ll give you a chance to follow me.”
“Hurry up and thank my young master.”
“In the Sky Shadow Continent, how many people want to follow my family’s Young Master Jian and enter the Dugu family? What are the two of you waiting for?” The bow and arrow guard captain beside them berated.
“Gasp! Could it be the Dugu Family that’s famous for their archery in the Sky Shadow Continent?”
“The only person in the Dugu Family who can be called Young Master Jian is the son of the Dugu Family Head, Dugu Jian. He’s an invincible seed prodigy.”
“To be the follower of such a prodigy is a great honor.”
The other cultivators looked envious.
“I’m sorry, the treasure belongs to the capable. Moreover, we obtained it first. On what basis should we give it to you?”
“As for following you, are you worthy?” Lin Xuan glanced at Dugu Jian and said ruthlessly.
The scene instantly became silent.
Rejecting the invitation of such a prodigy was not a wise choice.
“Originally, the bright path was placed in front of them. Because of their words, the bright path became the path of death,” an itinerant cultivator said regretfully.
Dugu Jian sneered. No one had ever dared to reject him.
Immediately after, loud laughter sounded.
“I’m Yu Wenwu from the Ascension Immortal Dynasty. I think you look a little familiar. You should be a cultivator from the Northern Azure Continent. Give me that treasure from before. After we get out, I can let your family become a royal family and give them countless natural treasures.”
Yu Wenwu’s eyes were filled with desire. There were not many treasures that could increase a realm.
“Cut off your head and give it to me. I might consider it.” Lin Xuan looked at Yu Wenwu calmly. First, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty wanted to sacrifice him, and then they sent a million troops to annihilate the Lin family. The hatred between them had already reached the extent of fighting to the death, so there was no need to be polite to him.
Yu Wewu’s reputation was not as great as Dugu Jian, but he had the strength of an invincible seed.
Usually, such geniuses could not be seen at all. Now, two appeared at once, and they even invited the same person, but they were all ruthlessly rejected.
This made the elites of the surrounding small families envious and jealous.
If someone among them had witnessed the scene of Lin Xuan killing the divine son and the others, they would probably not think so. Instead, they would feel sorry for these two people.
“Brother Wu, looks like your reputation is not good either,” Dugu Jian said calmly.
“Then we’ll take them down together and share their treasures.”
