Blue Moon Secret Realm, on top of a mountain peak!
"Zhengjun, don't worry. That Empty Still Fruit is definitely mine!" Yu Haoran said confidently, indicating to Wu Zhengjun that there was no need to worry.
Then, he took out ten ninth level first grade Qi Training Pills from his storage ear and used his Yuan Li to disrupt the energy sequence within the pills.
"Yu Shixiong, what are you doing?"
Using Yuan Li to disrupt the energy sequence within the pills would not only cause the pills to lose the effect of increasing cultivation, but also cause the pills to explode after consumption due to the chaotic energy sequence.
"You'll know in a moment!"
Without further explanation, Yu Haoran took out ten ninth level third grade, nine ninth level sixth grade, and nine ninth level ninth grade Qi Training Pills from his storage ear and used the same method to turn all the Qi Training Pills into useless pills.
After all forty Qi Training Pills of different grades had been turned into useless pills by Yu Haoran, the Empty Spirit Mouse sitting on top of the Empty Spirit Tree not only plucked the Empty Still Fruit, but also swallowed it.
"No!"
Seeing the Empty Spirit Mouse swallow the Empty Still Fruit, the cultivator surnamed Jiang couldn't help but roar.
Then, ignoring the injury on his shoulder, he rushed towards the Empty Spirit Mouse.
After losing the Empty Still Fruit, he couldn't complete the task given by the Vice Head. Therefore, the young experts in charge of blocking the attacks of the exotic beasts all turned around and rushed towards the Empty Spirit Mouse on top of the Spirit Tree like the cultivator surnamed Jiang.
However, the exotic beasts that originally wanted to fight for the Empty Still Fruit could only howl unwillingly after seeing the Empty Still Fruit being swallowed by the mouse beast. Then, they turned around and rushed down the mountain peak.
The cultivator surnamed Jiang, who had unleashed all his strength, was almost at the early third grade Martial Master. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the Empty Still Spirit Tree.
However, just as he was about to use his Yuan Li to form a giant palm to catch the Empty Spirit Mouse, he realized that the Empty Spirit Mouse had long disappeared from the top of the Spirit Tree.
Thinking of the Empty Spirit Mouse's elusive speed, as long as he lost sight of it, it would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens to find it again. In the end, he gave up on the idea of using his Yuan Li to form a giant palm.
But when he thought of the Vice Sect Master's instructions and saw that the team hadn't lost a single person, Jiang Chen reluctantly ordered his fellow Junior Brothers.
"Search with all your might. You must find that rat beast!"
Although the order he had issued was very strict and it seemed as if he had to find this mouse beast no matter what, this cultivator surnamed Jiang didn't have much hope.
Not only was that rat beast extremely fast, but it was also adept at hiding. Finding it would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
Therefore, while he allowed his Junior Brothers to search for the rat beast, he took out a medicinal pill and focused on healing his shoulder that had been bitten by the rat beast earlier.
"Yu Shixiong, do you think we should leave now?" Wu Zhengjun suggested when he saw the group expanding their search for the Empty Spirit Mouse.
"Let's retreat for a while. After those people leave, we'll come back!"
It was easy to lure out the Void Spirit Mouse, and it wasn't difficult to lure the Void Fruit out of its stomach.
Without any conflict of interest, he didn't want to have a conflict with the disciples of Vice Sect Master Zhong Faqin's faction.
Therefore, in the face of Wu Zhengjun's suggestion, Yu Haoran readily agreed!
After searching for almost an hour, the group hadn't found any traces of the Void Spirit Mouse.
At the same time, the cultivator surnamed Jiang's shoulder that had been bitten by the Void Spirit Mouse had basically returned to normal through the treatment of top-notch medicinal pills.
Looking at his dejected Junior Brothers, the cultivator surnamed Jiang knew that their failure in the fight for the Void Fruit had been a huge blow to them.
Because they hadn't completed the task assigned by the Vice Sect Master, not only had they not received the rewards that the Vice Sect Master had promised them, their status in the Vice Sect Master's faction would also be greatly affected in the future.
However, according to the cultivator surnamed Jiang's private knowledge, in the Blue Moon Secret Realm, other than the Void Fruit that could assist the Vice Sect Master in breaking through to the Martial Saint rank, there was another Spirit Medicine that had the same effect. Its effect was even far stronger than the Void Fruit.
However, the Spirit Medicine's habitat was too dangerous. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to take the risk and fight for it.
However, the cruel reality now forced him to take the risk.
"Junior Brothers, don't be discouraged. We still have hope!" The cultivator surnamed Jiang encouraged his Senior Brothers in a loud voice as he looked at their dejected expressions.
"The Void Fruit was only one of the plans that our Vice Sect Master had prepared. In fact, his real goal was the Three-colored Red Lotus in a natural lake more than a thousand kilometers away from here."
"The Three-colored Red Lotus is a kind of top-notch Spirit Medicine that is even more precious and of higher quality than the Void Fruit. It is even more helpful for the Vice Sect Master to break through to the Martial Saint rank."
"However, the danger of fighting for the Three-colored Red Lotus far surpasses that of fighting for the Void Fruit."
"Now that the Void Spirit Fruit has been lost, we must help the Vice Sect Master take back the Three-colored Red Lotus even if we have to risk our lives!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Hearing the cultivator surnamed Jiang mention that there was another Three-colored Red Lotus whose effect wasn't inferior to the Void Fruit, everyone's originally dejected mood was instantly swept away.
When they thought about how the Void Fruit had been forcibly snatched away by an unknown mouse beast right under their noses, while they felt dejected, they also suppressed a flame of anger in their hearts.
Now that they had the chance to vent their anger, how could their emotions not soar!
As he watched the Vice Sect Master's disciples quickly leave the mountain peak, Yu Haoran couldn't help but shake his head.
The Vice Sect Master Zhong Faqin gave off a similar feeling to his Master. He was the kind of person who stood aloof from worldly affairs and was indifferent to fame and fortune. However, based on the way he had arranged for his disciples to fight for the Void Fruit, it was clear that he was not willing to be suppressed by others.
This unwillingness had been hidden very well so that no one had noticed.
Yu Haoran believed that if Zhong Faqin were to obtain the Void Fruit and use the pills refined from the Void Fruit to break through to the Martial Saint rank …
Then, the dissatisfaction and depression that had accumulated over the years would definitely cause him to explode in a frenzied manner to vent his accumulated dissatisfaction and depression.
This wasn't a good thing for the Hundred Chi Gate and Clear Cloud Peak!
It was a good thing that Vice Sect Master Zhong Faqin had not broken through to the Martial Saint rank even after the Hundred Chi Gate had been annihilated in his past life. This also meant that he had not obtained the opportunity to break through to the Martial Saint rank during this trial in the Blue Moon Secret Realm.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Haoran threw all thoughts about Zhong Faqin to the back of his mind. Then, he unleashed his movement technique and returned to the mountain peak.
Not in a hurry to find the Void Spirit Mouse, Yu Haoran first closed his eyes and carefully experienced it.
Then, he shook his head.
The explosion of the Demon God's Ancient Tomb had not only caused him to lose all of his cultivation and spirit, it had also caused him to lose the intimate connection he had formed with the Void Spirit Mouse in his past life.
Yu Haoran knew that it would take a very long time to re-establish this connection.
"Yu Shixiong, where's the Void Spirit Mouse?"
Although Yu Haoran had never mentioned the reason for his return to the mountain peak, Wu Zhengjun could guess his intentions from his series of actions and reactions.
