"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to ask the Banyan Tree King. It's just an Asura Field. Is there a need to make such a fuss?"
Li Qingshan said helplessly. However, apart from Han Qiongzhi, everyone present was doubtful.
"You want me to go to the Mist province?" Yue Wuyang was already certain that Li Qingshan was lying. It was impossible for them to ask the Banyan Tree King for proof.
"There's no need for that." Li Qingshan considered it and took out the Fruit of Wisdom from his sumeru ring. He passed it to Han Qiongzhi and said, "Eat it and give me the seed."
"This is …" Han Qiongzhi was taken aback. She gazed at the glowing fruit in her hand. She could tell with a single glance that it was anything but ordinary. It seemed to contain the endless mysteries of nature, deeply drawing her attention.
"This is a banyan fruit. You can treat it as my gift. I'm sorry for making you wait for so many years," Li Qingshan said sincerely.
Before Han Anjun and Yue Bing could even make sense of the situation, the Great General King and the Unraging monk stood up at the same time and said together, "The Fruit of Wisdom!"
They could not be blamed for being so surprised. The Fruit of Wisdom was renowned across the nine provinces. As a matter of fact, some people even regarded it as the greatest spiritual fruit in the world.
Regular spiritual fruits, no matter how powerful their intelligence was, could only be used as resources to save some time on cultivation. The more precious spiritual fruits could increase the aptitude of cultivators, but they were only used to refine the soul and strengthen the body. However, the Fruit of Wisdom could drastically increase a cultivator's "ability to comprehend".
Countless cultivators in the world encountered bottlenecks during their cultivation, becoming stuck at various cultivation realms. Most of them did so because their ability to comprehend was insufficient. No matter how many resources they possessed, how powerful their bodies were, or how pure their souls were, it was useless.
This was the value of the Fruit of Wisdom. Even a great cultivator like Yue Wuyang would be interested. No one would complain about their ability to comprehend being too low.
"Damned disciple, where did you get this Fruit of Wisdom from?" The Unraging monk asked in surprise.
"I stole it!" Li Qingshan said.
"What?" The Unraging monk was stunned. He felt like his brain was a little lacking. Stealing something from the Banyan Tree King, and it was the Fruit of Wisdom no less. Probably even the imperial clan of the Dragon province would not be able to do it.
"Master, aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, it was given to me by the Banyan Tree King!" Li Qingshan shook his head.
The Unraging monk was speechless. He had learnt from Duoge that Li Qingshan's relationship with the Banyan Tree King was anything but ordinary. There was a branch of the Banyan Tree King on Savage mountain, but there were plenty of Banyan Tree King branches. Just how many of them could obtain the Fruit of Wisdom?
Yue Wuyang furrowed his brows, and his heart wavered. Was the Shuraba really a gift from the Banyan Tree King?
"Even his own son isn't so close to him!" Yue Bing sighed before receiving another glare from Yue Wuyang. He thought, I didn't think Li Qingshan would actually be so generous. Junior sister really hasn't waited all these years for nothing. So much for acting like a tomboy, but her eye for men really is admirable!
"Qingshan, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept something so precious. You should eat it instead!" Han Qiongzhi returned to her senses and returned the Fruit of Wisdom to Li Qingshan.
"Why do we have to keep it to ourselves? And, I've already eaten one, so it's useless even if I eat another. Your one is much better than mine. It was condensed by the Banyan Tree King after he became the god of the Mist province. It contains a fragment of the Mist province cauldron. He said it has other wondrous uses. "
Yue Wuyang's eyes narrowed, and he stared at the Fruit of Wisdom deeply. It was no wonder he felt like it contained the laws of the world. The Fruit of Wisdom was probably worth even more than the Shuraba Field. It was enough to change the trajectory of a cultivator's life. If the person who received the Fruit of Wisdom were not Han Qiongzhi, he might even be tempted to take it by force.
Han Qiongzhi did not turn it down anymore. Actually, when she heard that Li Qingshan had swept through the locust plague, she felt both glorious and rather dejected. Originally, she thought she could get a little closer to him after all these years of painstaking cultivation, but after so many years, she discovered that the distance between them was growing larger and larger, almost beyond her reach. It was exactly like Han Anjun's prophecy in the past.
She looked at Li Qingshan and said quietly, "With this Fruit of Wisdom, I can get a little closer to you!"
"Eat it and give the seed to me. I'll get the Banyan Tree King to confront them," Li Qingshan said to Han Qiongzhi.
"There's no need. Qiongzhi, the Fruit of Wisdom is extraordinarily valuable. Take some time and slowly refine it!" Yue Wuyang said.
"Yes, master," Han Qiongzhi said.
"So, the Great General Lord is willing to believe me?" Li Qingshan smiled.
"Even if the Banyan Tree King gave you the Shuraba, where did the Banyan Tree King get it from?" Yue Wuyang asked.
"You'll have to ask the Banyan Tree King about that. If you don't want to go to the Mist province, you'll have to wait for a while." Li Qingshan laid out his hands.
"Didn't he tell you when he gave it to you?" Yue Wuyang asked.
"I think he picked it up from somewhere," Li Qingshan said.
"Can you show it to me?" Yue Wuyang asked.
"No problem." Li Qingshan took out the Asura Field and handed it to Yue Wuyang.
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to have grown to such a level. Looks like you've put in a lot of effort. " Yue Wuyang fiddled with the Asura Field. The blood qi that shrouded it exceeded his expectations. He had no idea how many battles it had experienced.
"Indeed." Li Qingshan had won several crucial battles in the Asura Field.
"You can summon Asura Commanders now, right? Can you control them?" Yue Wuyang doubted. Asura were much more powerful than regular cultivators. If their cultivations were similar, there was basically no chance of victory.
"I can, but I've killed them all. I've only left one that's pleasing to the eye. There's no need to control them."
"Who killed them? How did they kill them?"
"That'll be troublesome to explain. May I ask what exactly you're trying to do, Great General Lord? You might as well just tell me! "Li Qingshan had already become rather impatient.
"Li Qingshan, don't think I've come to harm you, or I wouldn't have specially called your master. Do you know that every Asura Field is different? I suspect that the Asura Field in your possession originally belonged to prince Si Qing before it was taken away by the North Moon. The North Moon died in the Mist province, which was why it ended up in the hands of the Banyan Tree King. "
Back when prince Si Qing came to the Ruyi commandery, he caused a very great disturbance in order to refine an Asura Field. The Great General Lord knew everything about this. When the Asura Field reappeared in the Clear River prefecture, he immediately suspected this.
"I'm not sure about that, but so what?" Li Qingshan said.
"Do you know that prince Si Qing has already undergone the third heavenly tribulation and become the third crown prince of Great Xia? The matter of the Asura Field will reach his ears very soon. I heard that he has grievances with you in the first place. If he learns that the lost Asura Field is in your hands … "
