(Supplementary for ten months, four thousand monthly passes, plus updates)
Not to mention, as soon as they walked in, they immediately felt refreshed.
Taking a deep breath, Miao Yi's expression twitched. This place was filled with spiritual energy, and it was very dense as well. If anyone were to cultivate here, even though it wouldn't be as effective as using elixirs or Orbs of Will, it would still be enough to speed up their cultivation. It was truly a blessed land for cultivation!
This was his first time seeing a place with such dense spiritual energy. His gaze fell on the apricot trees, and he wondered why the apricots would be planted in a blessed land like this.
At first glance, he only noticed that they were slightly larger than the average apricot. He opened his transcendence vision and took a closer look. Only then did he realize that the slightly translucent pink apricot actually had a faint glow within it. The green and white fruits that hadn't ripened yet didn't seem to have this effect.
'Could these be the legendary immortal fruits?' Miao Yi thought to himself. His gaze flickered, thinking that it was most likely the case. After all, this place was under the direct jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.
He had tasted immortal fruits before, but they were immortal fruits produced by the Glorious Star immortal herb. The immortal herb's fruits could only heal wounds, but he didn't know what would happen to these immortal apricots. There were so many of them, so no one would be able to tell, right?
He looked left and right, then turned to look at the entrance. He realized that he was a little too close to the entrance. He would be able to spot anyone if they came. He slowly observed his surroundings, then quietly crept deeper into the apricot orchard.
He walked to a spot on the lower branches of a tree. The adorable and alluring fruit was right above his head, within reach. He didn't even need to invoke his arts to pluck it.
The Great Scholar Miao was extremely nervous. He didn't dare to make a move!
Would he be discovered? Would he be seen? The Great Scholar Miao repeatedly asked himself. He was conflicted. If something happened, he would be in deep trouble.
He listened attentively and looked around … In the end, he pretended as if nothing had happened and walked away. However, he hid behind a few trees and observed his surroundings for a while. Then, he circled back to the fruit that was within reach.
He carefully looked around again, then slowly reached out to grab the fruit. It was cold to the touch.
However, he put his hand down again. He looked around again, then reached out to grab the fruit again. Should he pluck it or not? He was so hesitant that he was about to go crazy.
Finally, he steeled his heart. He grabbed the fruit and slowly observed his surroundings. He exerted strength in his hand, trying to pull the fruit off.
The strange thing was that no matter how much strength he exerted, he still couldn't take it off. He couldn't even cast spells, and a branch of the tree was bent by him.
Damn it! It wasn't easy for him to become a fruit thief for the first time … Miao Yi was furious. His other hand immediately grabbed onto the branch that he had pulled down, while his other hand invoked his arts to grab onto the fruit, preparing to forcefully twist it.
Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps coming from the depths of the apricot forest. Miao Yi was startled and quickly let go.
The scariest thing was that the bent branch was very elastic. When it bounced off the other branches, it would be terrible if it made a sound!
Great Scholar Miao was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly cast a spell and grabbed at the air, forcibly grabbing the tree branch that had bounced up and slowly restoring it to its original position. Then, stealthily and stealthily, he tiptoed behind an apricot tree and quickly held his breath. Fortunately, the apricot trees here had been growing for god knows how many years. They were big enough that even one or two people wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around them.
However, when he caught a glimpse of the fruit he had just plucked, his heart started thumping again. That branch was actually trembling slightly. He could only pray in his heart that he wouldn't be discovered. The footsteps were getting closer. It was no longer a good idea to use his arts to stabilize it. Otherwise, he would definitely be detected by the fluctuations of his transcendence energy.
Soon, three people walked out from the depths of the apricot forest. There were two golden-armored deities, and a white-haired, white-bearded, chubby old man in white robes and holding a walking stick.
The three of them also had nervous looks on their faces as they looked around. When they walked up to the fruit that Miao Yi had just plucked, one of the golden-armored deities suddenly said, "This one is ripe. Land of Earth, pluck this one as well." Perhaps it was because the fruit was growing too slowly, or because it was trembling right in front of their eyes.
The chubby old man glared at him and said, "Are you crazy? The last time the Mountain God passed by here, he even raised his head to take a few extra glances. Now that it's gone, the Mountain God will definitely be able to tell. Why aren't you guys standing at the door? I told you not to come in, yet you guys insisted on coming in. It's very easy to be suspicious when the two gatekeepers aren't here, understand? "
Miao Yi, who was carefully hiding behind a tree and holding his breath, was startled when he heard this. Could they be here to steal the fruit as well?
The golden-armored deity sneered, "If we don't come in, who knows how many you've plucked. What if you keep it to yourself and don't share it equally?"
The chubby old man lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "We already agreed on five each. Do you think I would dare to pluck more? There's a limit to the number of fruits here. "
The golden-armored deity said disdainfully, "It's not like the fruits will grow every time. There's always a chance that they'll go bad. Every time, there'll be losses. Who knows if you'll tamper with it or not."
"You …" The chubby old man was furious.
Miao Yi, who was hiding behind the tree, finally understood. They really were here to steal the fruit, and it was an inside job. The two gatekeepers were in cahoots with the Land of Earth.
The other golden-armored deity spoke up in time to be the peacemaker, "Alright, alright. Let's go out quickly. If we stay here for too long, we'll be discovered."
The three of them quickly walked out.
"Stop! How dare you steal from inside job! "
With a cold snort, Miao Yi calmly walked out from behind the tree with his hands behind his back.
This bastard could be considered extremely daring. He still dared to come out so openly. If Master Yu Xu and Master Yu Lian found out, they would definitely strangle him to death.
The key point was that he had to be daring. If these guys were to guard the Apricot Orchard, he doubted that he would be able to leave safely. At that time, even if he didn't steal anything, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. First of all, the three guys couldn't explain how he came in. They might even kill him to cover up their story.
The three guys who stole from inside job were shocked. Each of them trembled like a sieve. Their bodies trembled as they slowly turned around with difficulty. When they saw Miao Yi, they all widened their eyes. The chubby old man's lips trembled as he asked, "Who are you?"
An ominous glint flashed in the three's eyes. Miao Yi could tell that the three of them were probably going to kill him. Once they killed him, even if there was a commotion, they could pin the blame on him. They could say that he trespassed and that they killed him. At that time, he would die in vain.
However, Miao Yi wasn't someone to be trifled with. He casually flicked his sleeves, "You want to kill me? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if all of you work together, you won't be a match for me. I am a friend of the Mountain God here. I just came from the Heavenly Court and wanted to take a look around. Who knew that I couldn't even find a guard to lead the way. I thought it was strange, so I came in to take a look … Hehe! You guys are quite daring. How dare you steal from inside job! "
The three of them silently exchanged glances with one another. Their expressions and expressions were as ugly as they could be. Those who could come from the Celestial Court as they pleased were at least at the Golden Lotus realm, and they were only at the Purple Lotus realm. It would be impossible for them to silence them in a fight. Once they alerted the Mountain God, they would be accused of embezzlement and violating the heavenly laws. They would most likely die a terrible death.
Thump, thump, thump!
With three thuds, the three of them knelt down one by one. Their bodies trembled as they kowtowed.
The chubby old man buried his head in the ground and sobbed, "Have mercy, Great Immortal! This is our first offense. Please, Great Immortal, let us live! "
"Please, Great Immortal, let us live!" The two golden-armored Gods were also on the verge of tears.
"First offense!" Miao Yi rubbed his chin and stared at the Immortal Apricots on the trees to his left and right. His eyes were a little bright as he sighed, "I have no grudges against you. I don't want to make things difficult for you …"
The three of them abruptly raised their heads and looked at him with hopeful expressions. The chubby old man still had tears on his face as he waited for the Great Scholar Miao to continue.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi suddenly pointed at the fruits on the tree and asked, "What's growing on this tree?"
The three of them were stunned. He didn't even know this? However, the chubby old man quickly answered, "This is the Immortal Apricot, one of the Heavenly Court's tributes. It blooms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and ripens every three thousand years. Eating one is equivalent to ten Basic Immortal Pills, and it's not as strong as the Basic Immortal Pills. Not only can it increase one's cultivation, but it also tastes delicious. Normal people can't eat it. Even the officials of the Heavenly Court only have it after receiving the Celestial Emperor's reward. Great Immortal, do you want to try one? "
'Damn it! They're trying to drag me down with them! ' Miao Yi raised his brows. He knew that the other party was up to no good, but even if the other party didn't say anything, he was still prepared to follow along. Eating one of these muddy waters was equivalent to eating ten Basic Immortal Pills!
Miao Yi rubbed his chin and said hesitantly, "This is a tribute from the Heavenly Court. Without permission … it's not appropriate for me to eat it, right?"
"It's appropriate, it's appropriate!" The three of them hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The chubby old man tried his best to suggest that Miao Yi try one. "Not every Immortal Apricot will ripen smoothly. There will always be times when the weather is unfavorable, and the fruit will fail halfway through. Therefore, there will always be some losses. It's not a problem to try one or two. Great Immortal, please have a taste!" With a flip of his hand, he took out five ripe Immortal Apricots, inviting Miao Yi to try them.
The other two golden-armored deities also took out five apricots each, allowing the Great Scholar Miao to take them.
Miao Yi's lips curled into a smile. It was just as he had heard earlier. The three of them had stolen five apricots each.
"I don't like to take advantage of others. Get up, all of you …" Miao Yi waved his hand and pointed at the tree. "Keep your own. I'll go and pick them myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't hold back. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such an opportunity. He rolled up his sleeves and excitedly walked towards the one he had his eyes on, ready to pick it.
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief and got up. Seeing that Miao Yi was about to pick that one, the chubby old man hurriedly ran over to stop him. "Great Immortal, you can't pick this one. The Mountain God remembers this one. If it suddenly goes missing, the Mountain God will definitely look into it. It's best to go inside. There are many fruits inside. It won't be easy to tell if one or two are missing."
"That's fine too!" Miao Yi waved his hand. "Hurry up and lead the way. Don't waste time!"
The three of them thought that he was in a hurry, so they hurriedly ran ahead to lead the way.
The Great Scholar Miao was in high spirits, as though this immortal orchard belonged to him. His eyes gleamed as he glanced left and right. 'How bold! How exciting! '
Once inside, the three of them stopped. Miao Yi immediately spotted a ripe fruit that was convenient to pick up. He raised his hand and grabbed one of the fruits.
"Great Immortal, you can't. You absolutely can't pick it like this. If you forcefully pick it, you will be able to see through it with just a glance. Metal counters wood. Use this to pick it. Use this to pick it! "The chubby old man waved a pair of golden scissors in his hand." Great Immortal, let me help you! "
