A seed
"Stop, all of you stop!"
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from the back hall of the Search for Immortals Hall.
Several martial artists stopped in time, but they still stared at Luo Zheng, afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape.
"This is the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit!"
"No wonder this brat is so arrogant. It turns out that he has the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit."
Immediately, some of the surrounding guests recognized the spiritual fruit in Luo Zheng's hand.
Not only could this Golden Cauldron Sacred Fruit increase one's cultivation, it also had an extremely good effect on breaking through to the Essence Casting Stage. To any family or power, this was a spirit medicine that they were determined to obtain.
A single Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit could be of great use. It could shorten the cultivation time and make a genius even more outstanding.
"Little brother, are you willing to give up your golden cauldron? The price is negotiable."
"That's right. The Hong Family also wants this Golden Tripod Holy Fruit. You can ask for anything you need!"
Many of the surrounding guests immediately spoke up.
"My apologies, esteemed guests."
At this time, an old man walked out from the back hall and cupped his fists at the crowd. He then looked at Luo Zheng and said, "Young Master, we are honored by your presence at the Search for Immortals Hall. This old man is the owner of the Search for Immortals Hall. Please come to the back hall for a chat."
Luo Zheng smiled faintly. Without saying anything, he followed the old man into the back hall.
"Young Master, can you let this old man take a look at your spirit fruit?"
As soon as the old man entered the back hall, an anxious expression appeared on his face.
Luo Zheng smiled and handed over the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit.
"It really is the Golden Cauldron Sacred Fruit. Young Master, I wonder if you can give this Spirit Fruit to this old man. This old man has a grandson with extremely high innate talent. Unfortunately, he has been unable to break through to the Essence Casting Stage. If I can obtain this Spirit Fruit, perhaps there might be some hope. I wonder if Young Master is willing to part with it?"
The old man carefully took the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit. He looked at it for a while and was immediately overjoyed.
"Of course, it's not a problem. I just don't know if you can give me what I need!"
Luo Zheng said with a smile.
"If there's anything Young Master needs, feel free to ask. As long as it's something this old man can do, I won't refuse."
The old man hurriedly nodded.
"What I need isn't necessarily something precious. To tell you the truth, I'm practicing a cultivation method that requires me to refine the power of plants. Furthermore, the purer and more majestic the power of plants, the better it is for me."
Luo Zheng said.
"The power of plants? Normally, the stronger the medicinal power of the spirit herb, the purer the wood power. Young Master, do you mean to exchange the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit for other spirit herbs? "
The old man saw hope and said excitedly, "If that's the case, I can take out a large amount of spiritual herbs to exchange for the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit. I guarantee that you won't lose out."
"Uncle, you've misunderstood. I need an enormous amount of plant energy. If I were to refine all of it, the consumption would be shocking, and I wouldn't be able to support myself."
Luo Zheng shook his head. "Actually, I only need materials that contain wood power. I don't necessarily need spirit herbs."
The old man frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he shook his head regretfully and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. However, I still hope that young master can give the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit to me … "
The old man paused in the middle of the sentence and said, "Young Master, I suddenly thought of a magical tree that might be able to fulfill your request. However, this strange tree belongs to Emperor Haotian. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to obtain … "
"Oh, feel free to speak your mind. As long as you have information that satisfies me, I might be able to give the Golden Cauldron Holy Fruit to your grandson."
Luo Zheng smiled as he thought of something.
"My clan has always been skilled in the art of plants. We're somewhat famous in the Haotian Empire, and the Hall of Immortal Seeking has been passed down for ten thousand years. A hundred years ago, Emperor Haotian once invited me into the Haotian Imperial Palace … "
The old man spoke of what happened a hundred years ago.
It turned out that a hundred years ago, when Emperor Haotian was traveling through the void, he had obtained a strange seed in the spatial turbulence.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Haotian planted the seed in the back garden of the palace. As a result, all the plants in the hundred-square-kilometer back garden withered and died mysteriously overnight.
As for the strange seed, it sprouted overnight and grew into a large tree.
In the following years, any plant that was planted in the back garden of the palace would wither and die immediately.
Emperor Haotian searched through the ancient books but was unable to identify the origin of the seed. Therefore, he invited the old man.
Unfortunately, the old man knew nothing about this strange plant.
However, he discovered that the strange tree that grew from the seed had extremely rich power of plants.
The reason why all the plants withered after being planted in the back garden of the palace was because all the power of plants had been sucked away by the tree.
"There's actually such a strange tree. It's a pity that Xuan isn't with me. Otherwise, he might know a thing or two. However, according to what this old man said, the wood energy contained within this strange tree is simply denser than the piece of five-colored wood I obtained. If I'm able to refine it, then the advancement of the Azurewood Imperial Scripture will surely be shocking! "
