Chapter 786: Heavenly Spirit Holy Fruit, Final Test
Jiang Chengxuan’s expression froze in surprise, inside the storage ring, he found more than twenty Heart of Plants.
How did the eldarian cultivator manage to obtain these?
Over twenty Heart of Plants was no small number.
Even for him, up until now, he had managed to collect only a dozen or so. However, Jiang Chengxuan’s attention was quickly drawn to other items within the storage ring.
Beyond the Heart of Plants, there were also many cultivation manuals and scriptures of the human race, as well as pills and Dharma treasures used by human cultivators.
This realization made Jiang Chengxuan instantly understand that the eldarian cultivator he had just killed had likely spilled the blood of countless humans.
“Damnit!”
His expression turned visibly darker.
Had he known this, he would not have killed him so hastily.
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
At this moment, Shen Ruyan noticed Jiang Chengxuan’s state.
She approached him, her tone filled with concern as she asked.
Hearing her question, Jiang Chengxuan did not conceal anything and shared the events he had encountered with Shen Ruyan.
After listening, Shen Ruyan took the storage ring and examined it carefully, then she couldn’t help but express her surprise.
“Eh? Husband, what is this?”
As she spoke, a yellow fruit appeared in her hand.
The yellow fruit emitted a faint fragrance.
just by smelling it, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt their Primordial
Spirits subtly strengthen.
Both of their expressions changed slightly.
“Such a potent effect on the Primordial Spirit; could this fruit possibly be the legendary Heavenly Spirit Holy Fruit?”
The Heavenly Spirit Holy Fruit is a unique treasure of the Tianling Realm, known for its miraculous effects on the Primordial Spirit, almost like a rebirth.
A single fruit can elevate a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit by one whole realm, making it an extremely rare and valuable treasure.
Moreover, this fruit can only be found in the sacred lands of the Tianling Realm.
Ordinary Spirit Clan cultivators have no access to it, and only core members of the royal family might have the chance to obtain it.
“It seems the eldarian cultivator I killed might indeed have had quite the background.”
Jiang Chengxuan then turned to Shen Ruyan with a smile, saying:
“Wife, since you found this fruit, it should be yours to consume.
You know, my Primordial Spirit is nurtured by a special treasure and is constantly growing stronger.
To me, its effect might not be as significant.
Shen Ruyan rolled her eyes at Jiang Chengxuan, retorting:
“Husband, do you really think I’m a child?
How could such a sacred item be of no use to you?
Here’s what we’ll do. In my Thunderclap Valley, we have a pill recipe that uses the Heavenly Spirit Holy Fruit as the main ingredient.
It’s called the Heavenly Essence Pill, which greatly strengthens the Primordial
Spirit and enhances the Dharma Form.
I’ll find a senior in the valley skilled in pill refinement to see if he can help refine it.
If all goes well, this Heavenly Spirit Holy Fruit should yield more than three Heavenly Essence Pills.
After setting aside a pill as a reward for the senior’s pill refining services, we
can split the rest between us.”
Jiang Chengxuan naturally had no objections to his Dao companion’s proposal. They then went through the eldarian cultivator’s storage ring once more but didn’t find anything else of significant value.
“By the way, Ruyan…”
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan seemed to remember something and turned to Shen Ruyan.
“How many Heart of Plants have you found here in total?”
Shen Ruyan smiled slightly, then extended her hand, which was as white as jade.
On it, six Heart of Plants were neatly laid out.
“After receiving your message, I didn’t try to merge my divine sense with the world again.
So, the harvest hasn’t been that great.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded, then shared some of the extra Heart of Plants he had collected with Shen Ruyan.
“Now, between us, we have nearly twenty extra Heart of Plants.
I wonder how Fairy Mengchen and the others are doing. Perhaps, if possible, we should sell these extra Heart of Plants to them.”
On this point, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were quite clear headed. Although they were in a cooperative relationship at the moment, cooperation did not mean they were obliged to give away the Heart of Plants they had obtained without expecting something in return.
They needed to receive appropriate compensation for the Heart of Plants. Soon after, Jiang Chengxuan sent a message to Qian Mengchen and Qian Donghai.
They responded quickly, indicating that they indeed were short of twenty Heart of Plants.
If Jiang Chengxuan was willing to transfer his Heart of Plants to them, they were willing to purchase them at twice the market rate.
Some time later.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Qian Mengchen, Qian Donghai, and another cultivator from the Qian family named Qian Wenshan, regrouped.
After they had pooled together the required Heart of Plants, a message appeared before them once again.
“Congratulations to all of you for passing the third test. Do you wish to leave now, or would you like to continue to the fourth test?”
Upon hearing this prompt, Qian Mengchen, Qian Donghai, and Qian Wenshan all turned their gazes towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fairy Shen, what do you think?
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and said, “We plan to continue. I wonder if you three would like to leave now or continue as well?”
After exchanging glances, Qian Mengchen quickly said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fairy Shen, we also wish to continue with you.
Since we’ve come this far, there’s no reason to quit now.
Moreover, from what I understand, generally at this stage, even if there are more tests, there probably won’t be many left.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt encouraged by this.
Quickly, the group of five chose to continue.
As soon as they all opted to continue, another message appeared before them. “The fourth test begins now. Be advised, this test is also the final test of this Immortal Peak cave abode.”
Along with the message, an image appeared before them.
It showed a massive mountain, towering into the clouds.
“AU participants must reach the foot of this mountain within one hour and then choose a path to ascend.
The first to reach the summit will be deemed to have passed the test.
Failure to do so will result in failing this test.
