Yellow Dragonfruit
"Die!"
Luo Zheng coldly snorted. With a twist of the Blue Inferno Sword, a bloody hole appeared in Xiao Fei's chest. His eyes lost their luster, turning into a lifeless gray.
At this moment, the smoke and dust dissipated. Xiao Yuan stared dumbfoundedly at the scene in front of him, unable to believe his eyes.
Xiao Fei had been ambushed and killed in the smoke and dust!
"Damn it, I'll crush you into mincemeat!"
Xiao Yuan's eyes were about to split open as he roared like a madman. He didn't hold back as he attacked Luo Zheng. Streams of True Qi transformed into giant millstone palms that tore through the air and smashed towards Luo Zheng.
He couldn't accept that Xiao Fei, who was at the Marrow Transformation Realm, had died at the hands of Luo Zheng.
"Haha, then try me!"
Luo Zheng smiled indifferently. His body's aura rapidly rose. A powerful True Qi gushed out from his Qi Sea, forming a powerful airflow around his body.
In an instant, Luo Zheng's cultivation rose from the Membrane Forging Realm to the Marrow Transformation Realm.
Then, the Blue Inferno Sword emitted a buzzing sound. Streams of blue Sword Qi burst out, piercing through the True Qi palms and causing them to explode. The palms that filled the sky were swept away.
"How can you be at the Marrow Transformation Realm?!"
Xiao Yuan's mouth trembled. Luo Zheng, who they had always regarded as an ant, was actually this powerful.
And the Blue Inferno Sword in Luo Zheng's hand made him feel even more fearful. That kind of sharp Sword Qi was invincible. It wasn't something he could withstand.
"Damn it, Luo Zheng's sword is no weaker than a mid-grade Magic Artifact. I can't fight him head-on. I have to run. Go back and ask the clan's experts to hunt him down. We must avenge Xiao Han and Xiao Fei. "
In an instant, Xiao Yuan knew that he was no match for Luo Zheng. Not only was the Blue Inferno Sword terrifying, but Luo Zheng's cultivation had also far exceeded his expectations.
"Good, good, good! Luo Zheng, you're just a disciple of a humble family. You're only fourteen years old, yet you've already cultivated to this level. You even have a middle-grade magic tool. This is really surprising. If my guess is correct, you must have had a fortuitous encounter during the Five Beast Army's Blood Purge assessment. You might have even obtained the inheritance of an ancient warrior. However, all of this is useless. You are dead meat. Our Xiao family will kill you before you grow up and take all your benefits. "
Xiao Yuan's gaze was as sharp as a blade, filled with hatred. "Just you wait!"
"Really? But do you think you can still leave today? Die! "
How could Luo Zheng allow him to escape? He used the Flying Star Step, and covered a distance of a thousand feet in an instant. The crystal-blue sword Qi suddenly slashed down.
Every step and slash was extremely fast. This was Luo Zheng's most powerful attack!
Boom!
There was a thirty-meter-long sword mark on the ground, but Xiao Yuan had disappeared.
Using his Divine Perception, Xiao Yuan could not find any trace of him.
"My current Divine Perception can cover a radius of three miles. Xiao Yuan can't possibly escape three miles in an instant!" Luo Zheng's eyes flashed as he suddenly scanned the ground. "It's the Earth Escape!"
He instantly understood that Xiao Yuan must have cultivated the extremely rare Earth Escape Technique.
"Humph, the Earth Escape Technique is much slower underground than on the ground. Furthermore, with Xiao Yuan's cultivation, he can't possibly go deep underground. Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to escape. He would be crushed to death by the weight of the soil."
With a thought, Luo Zheng activated his Divine Perception, burrowed into the ground, and spread it out.
In the air, Luo Zheng's Divine Perception could reach a distance of three miles. However, in the ground, it was greatly hindered. It could only reach a depth of five hundred feet before it could not go any deeper.
Luo Zheng quickly found traces of Xiao Yuan. He was currently a hundred meters underground, struggling to advance.
"That damnable Luo Zheng, I heard he came from a poor family. A few months ago, his cultivation base was only at the Muscle Forging realm. How could he have advanced four realms in such a short time? What the hell? Just opening a qi sea and giving birth to true qi would take at least a month. How did he do it? Damnit! "
Xiao Yuan's entire body was wrapped in true qi. He was like a vicious beast, slowly burrowing underground.
His expression was sinister, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. This time, he and Xiao Fei had originally been planning on killing Luo Zheng to avenge Xiao Han.
But as a result, Xiao Fei had been killed in a single exchange. As for Xiao Yuan, he didn't even have the courage to receive a single blow from Luo Zheng. He had used a secret art to escape.
Burrowing into the ground was a secret technique of the Ninja Dao. When cultivated to a high level, one could burrow into the ground and walk. Moreover, the speed was extremely fast, ten times faster than when a dragon-blooded warhorse galloped.
However, Xiao Yuan's cultivation base was still too low, so he naturally couldn't do it.
Burrowing underground consumed a great deal of true qi. In just ten miles, Xiao Yuan was already completely exhausted. However, he was like a frightened bird, so he clenched his teeth and walked another five miles before burrowing back up.
"Hmph, damnable Luo Zheng, you lowly commoner. When I return to Great Feng City, I'll immediately send a message to my clan and ask for a Viscera Refinement expert to kill you. At that time, all your benefits will fall into my hands! "
Fresh air entered Xiao Yuan's nose and he gasped for air. His heart was filled with unwillingness as he clenched his teeth and roared.
"Haha, do you think you still have a chance to leave Sun Mound Mountain?"
Luo Zheng's voice suddenly sounded out.
Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked over, his face revealing an expression of disbelief. He saw Luo Zheng leaning against a large tree, staring at him indifferently with a mocking smile on his face.
"Run!"
Xiao Yuan didn't even have time to be shocked as he activated his secret art and burrowed into the ground.
However, Luo Zheng was already prepared this time, so how could he allow Xiao Yuan to escape?
Whoosh!
The sound of wind breaking rang out as the blue sword aura slashed across the ground. Blood spurted into the air and Xiao Yuan's head flew up.
Following that, Luo Zheng found over a hundred thousand gold notes and dozens of Blood Nourishing Pills on the bodies of Xiao Fei and Xiao Yuan. He then returned to the cave and started cultivating.
Two days later, a voice sounded out from outside the cave.
Old Chen dragged his heavy footsteps as he walked in with a sorrowful expression.
"Old Chen, what's wrong? Where's the Hunting Chief? "
Seeing that Old Chen had come in alone and his expression wasn't right, Luo Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
"Boss encountered a Organs Refinement Realm beast and was already eaten by it."
Old Chen's eyes were red. He was filled with grief and indignation. He told the story intermittently.
It turned out that three years ago, Yan Jun and Old Chen accidentally entered a deep valley in the Sun Mound Mountain and found a Yellow Dragon Tree in the valley.
The Yellow Dragon Tree was a Spiritual Root that bore fruit every two hundred years.
The fruit of the Yellow Dragon Tree was known as the Yellow Dragon Fruit.
It was said that all the Yellow Dragon Trees in the world were formed from a drop of blood from the Heavenly Dragon that had fallen into the soil.
The Yellow Dragon Fruit contained a trace of the Heavenly Dragon's blood and was an extremely rare Spiritual Fruit. It didn't need to be refined and could be consumed directly. It could raise one's cultivation, strengthen one's body and increase one's strength. It was also a sacred healing medicine that was equivalent to a low-grade pill.
If a Body Refinement Realm cultivator consumed one, their cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds. The value of the Yellow Dragon Fruit was immeasurable.
However, the Yellow Dragon Fruit was extremely strange. It had no effect if it was plucked before it matured. Even after it matured, it had to be plucked within two hours or the medicinal effects would be lost.
The Yellow Dragon Tree that Yan Jun and Old Chen found had seven Yellow Dragon Fruits. Furthermore, there was a Marrow Changing Realm Golden Horned Python guarding the Yellow Dragon Tree.
When Yan Jun found the Yellow Dragon Tree, he wanted to get rid of the Golden Horned Python. However, when he thought about how there were still three years before the Yellow Dragon Fruit matured, he couldn't possibly guard it all the time.
Without the Golden Horned Python's protection, the Yellow Dragon Tree might be destroyed by other beasts. Therefore, he decided to wait until the Yellow Dragon Fruit matured before getting rid of the Golden Horned Python.
They entered the Sun Mound Mountain because the Yellow Dragon Fruit matured. Yan Jun didn't expect that when he rushed to the valley to get rid of the Golden Horned Python, he would find that the Golden Horned Python had already evolved into a Organs Refinement Realm beast.
There was no difference between a beast and a cultivator. After the Blood Tempering Realm, their strength would increase by ten times with every breakthrough. Yan Jun was caught off guard and wasn't a match for the Golden Horned Python. After a few rounds, he was swallowed by the Golden Horned Python without even having the chance to escape.
Old Chen's strength was only in the Blood Tempering Realm. When Yan Jun wanted to get rid of the Golden Horned Python, he only allowed him to watch from afar.
Although the Golden Horned Python discovered Old Chen after devouring Yan Jun, the Yellow Dragon Fruit was about to mature. The Yellow Dragon Fruit was extremely important to a Python Core beast like the Golden Horned Python. If it could consume the Yellow Dragon Fruit, it would have a high chance of evolving into a flood dragon. Therefore, the Golden Horned Python wasn't willing to leave the Yellow Dragon Tree and Old Chen was able to keep his life.
"Ai, Captain Yan was a rare good person. It's a pity that he died in the stomach of a beast!"
Hearing that Yan Jun had died, Luo Zheng couldn't help but feel sad. At the same time, a strong desire rose in his heart. "The Yellow Dragon Fruit! It's equivalent to a Law Tier Spiritual Fruit. It doesn't need to be refined and can be consumed directly! "
Luo Zheng pondered in his heart. Although the Golden-Horned Python had transformed into a Organs Refinement Stage ferocious beast, it would be extremely difficult to kill this ferocious beast. However, with the speed of the Meteor Steps, he still had a certain chance of obtaining the Yellow Dragon Fruit.
However, the risks involved were not small and he needed to carefully consider it.
During this period of time, Luo Zheng had also calculated that the amount of pills he would need to raise his cultivation from the initial Marrow Changing Stage to the Organs Refinement Stage was extremely terrifying.
After entering the Blood Tempering Stage, every increase in cultivation level would cause one's strength to increase by ten times. As a result, the amount of pills required for each stage would increase steadily.
Just to raise his cultivation from the initial Marrow Changing Stage to the peak of the Marrow Changing Stage, the amount of medicinal power and energy required was equivalent to two thousand Blood Nourishing Pills. In order to enter the Organs Refinement Stage, he would need to undergo Marrow Changing.
Marrow Changing also required a large amount of medicinal power. Since he had not reached the peak of the Marrow Changing Stage yet, Luo Zheng was unable to estimate it.
The grades of pills were divided into Ordinary Pills, Law Pills, Treasure Pills and so on. Each grade of pills was also divided into High, Middle and Low grades.
In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, High Grade Ordinary Pills could still be bought with money. However, Law Tier Pills were simply treasures that couldn't be bought with money. Although not all of them were in the hands of the royal family. However, if some wealthy families had Law Tier Pills, they would definitely store them away like family heirlooms. It was impossible to see them on the market.
