"Be careful, Young Master Lu. We've attracted a lot of experts this time. I'm just going to walk around the periphery. There are too many experts inside."
Zhou Xin said.
"Oh, do you need me to accompany you?"
Lu Ming asked.
In his heart, he was grateful to Zhou Xin. Back then, she had given him the Yuan Receiving Stone. If Zhou Xin needed help, he would not refuse.
"No need. Uncle Liu and I are weak. If we go with Young Master Lu, we'll be a burden to you. It's better if you go alone!"
Zhou Xin said.
Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Lu Ming did not insist and bade farewell to the two of them. However, before he left, his devouring power erupted and devoured all the blood and vital essence of the two elders with perfected Spirit Embryo. Lu Ming did not want to let go of the blood and vital essence of two experts with perfected Spirit Embryo. After devouring, he continued to move forward.
Zhou Xin and the middle-aged man were shocked to see the two elders turn into two dried corpses.
"Lu Ming, that little girl seems to have something on. She doesn't want others to go with her. She purposely sent you away!"
Dandan said.
Lu Ming nodded. He also had the same feeling. He felt that Zhou Xin had something on and did not want to go with him.
But this was someone else's private matter. He was too lazy to care. He continued to search for spiritual herbs.
Before long, the energy of the two elders was completely refined by Lu Ming.
Naturally, the level of his bloodline did not increase, and Lu Ming's cultivation did not increase at all.
"With my current cultivation, devouring martial artists with perfect Spirit Embryo is almost useless. The improvement is too slow. I can only improve quickly if I devour Spirit Gods!"
Lu Ming thought to himself.
This area was very large. Soon, Lu Ming had traveled about ten thousand miles.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed past in front of him at a terrifying speed.
"It's him!"
Lu Ming's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Lu Ming saw clearly that the figure was a bald man. It was the Spirit God expert from Cold-blood Hall who had chased after him.
Sure enough, there was an expert from Cold-blood Hall here.
The bald man didn't notice Lu Ming. He kept flying forward and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
After that, Lu Ming became more careful and slowed down a little. He kept running through the forest below.
Along the way, Dandan's harvest was not bad. He had collected a lot of spiritual herbs, most of which were Level 8 spiritual herbs. Dandan was grinning from ear to ear.
This herb garden was an ancient herb garden. It had existed for a very long time. Coupled with the rich spiritual energy, it was normal for the level of the spirit herbs to be on the higher side. It was a pity that he hadn't found any level nine spirit herbs.
Level 9 spirit herbs were much rarer than Level 8 spirit herbs.
Suddenly, light began to flicker in front of them. Faintly, a sound could be heard.
"There's another great battle over there!"
Lu Ming's eyes flickered, and he quickly headed in that direction.
Several hundred li later, Lu Ming appeared on a mountain peak and looked into the distance.
Up ahead, there was a lake, and in the middle of the lake was a small island. A towering tree stood on the small island.
The tree was rooted on the small island, but its crown was extremely huge. Its surface area was even larger than the small island.
There were fruits on the tree. The fruits looked the size of a plate. They were fiery red and filled with surging energy.
"That's the Vermilion Sky Fruit!"
Lu Ming recognized the fruit and was shocked. Then, he was overjoyed.
The Vermilion Sky Fruit was an extremely rare but extremely precious fruit.
This fruit contained extremely powerful and pure energy. If a martial artist consumed it, it could help them break through to the next realm.
As long as the concept of heaven and earth reached a certain level, consuming this fruit could help one quickly increase their True Essence and break through to the next realm.
This fruit was too precious.
The Spirit Embryo Realm and the Spirit God Realm behind it weren't as simple as comprehending concepts. Some people had reached a certain level of concept, but their cultivation wasn't that easy to increase.
For example, many second-class prodigies, such as Sanguinarum and Jun Yue, had reached the fourth level of concept. However, their cultivation was still stuck in the Spirit Embryo Realm. From this, it could be seen that concepts were difficult to comprehend and increase one's cultivation.
Even if Lu Ming had the bloodline of the Nine Dragons, it would be troublesome for him to increase his cultivation unless he could devour Spirit Gods or refine large amounts of Origin Stones.
However, once he obtained the Vermilion Sky Fruit, his cultivation would increase rapidly.
"I must obtain this Vermilion Sky Fruit!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
As long as he obtained a few Vermilion Sky Fruits, Lu Ming's cultivation would be able to break through to the perfected Spirit Embryo Realm. This was because his concept of heaven and earth had already met the requirements.
However, he wasn't in a hurry because the Vermilion Sky Fruit Tree was protected by a large formation. A layer of light screen enveloped the Vermilion Sky Fruit Tree.
Seven martial artists were constantly bombarding the light screen in an attempt to break the large formation.
The light screen formed by the large formation trembled continuously as though it had been there for a long time.
"It's about to break!"
Someone's eyes flickered with a fiery glow as he looked at the others warily.
They had joined forces to break the large formation previously. Now that the large formation was about to break, they began to harbor their own ulterior motives.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a sword light flashed. One of the green-robed elders attacked an old woman beside him.
"I knew you would make a move!"
The old woman gave a shout and waved both her palms, striking out palm prints as she fought with the elder.
Weng!
A metal rod swept out and struck towards the green-robed elder. The green-robed elder was caught off guard and was struck on the head. He didn't even have time to scream before he was killed.
"Courting death, kill!"
"The one who's going to die is you!"
Before the large formation was broken, the remaining six people were in a complete mess as they started to fight each other.
These people were all experts and were at least at the sixth level of Spirit Embryo Realm. They were rogue cultivators that were attracted by the light pillar nearby.
Once the battle started, in a few breaths' time, there were two consecutive screams as two people with weaker cultivations were killed. The battle between the remaining four people became even more intense.
At this moment, a figure walked over in the air.
"Jing Kongling!"
Lu Ming was slightly astonished.
The woman who walked over in the air was stepping on the clouds. Her entire body was shrouded in clouds, making her look like an ethereal fairy. If she wasn't Jing Kongling, who else could she be?
"Jing Kongling!"
The four people who were in the middle of a great battle were shocked when they saw Jing Kongling. They stopped what they were doing and had grave expressions.
"The Heavenly Vermilion Fruit is mine, you guys can leave!"
Jing Kongling's voice was very calm and ethereal. No emotions could be heard from her voice.
"Jing Kongling, aren't you being too overbearing? We were the ones who discovered this Heavenly Vermilion Fruit Tree first and we are about to break the large formation. Now that you have appeared, you want to take it all for yourself. Aren't your appetite a little too big?"
An old woman cried out.
"You guys can stay, stay forever!"
Jing Kongling said calmly but the aura on her body flourished. A few streams of water appeared around her and transformed into true water dragons that danced around Jing Kongling.
The four of them had ugly expressions on their faces. They were not willing to give up, but they knew that with their cultivation, they would die if they went against Jing Kongling. Jing Kongling was one of the top geniuses of the Central Continent. His combat strength was too strong.
"Hehe, these few trash indeed have to scram first!"
