The Earth Bear suddenly went into the cave, which made Li Zhen and the others at a loss for a while.
Li Mengyao said, "What happened? Why did the bear suddenly run back? "
Wang Minghai said, "I just smelled a fragrance, it seems that the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit is ripe."
Li Zhen's expression changed, "It ripened so quickly? Didn't they say it would take more than two days? "
Wang Minghai said, "I'm not sure about that, but looking at the Earth Bear, it should be the result."
Li Zhen shouted, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and grab it, at least get one Earth Vein Spirit Fruit.
Whoever can grab the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, this king will reward him with two low grade immortal crystals! "
This was definitely a big reward, whether it was for Wang Minghai or the other guards, two low grade immortal crystals was enough to make them fight for their lives.
As the saying goes, under a big reward, there will be brave men, these people roared and rushed into the cave.
Who knew that when they just arrived at the cave entrance, they would run into the Earth Bear, an angry Earth Bear was much more powerful than a tank, it was not something these people could contend with at all.
More than a dozen guards who rushed in front had their bones broken, including an early Mahayana realm guard, whose sternum was directly broken by the Earth Bear, after falling to the ground, it stepped on him fiercely, turning him into a meat paste.
Everyone hurriedly retreated, in such an encounter, a total of more than 20 people were killed or injured.
The Earth Bear's anger was not vented at all, it roared again and rushed towards Wang Minghai and the others.
Li Zhen and Li Mengyao stood next to them, seeing the Earth Bear leave the cave, still so angry, they were extremely puzzled.
"Big brother, what's going on? Why did the Earth Bear suddenly go crazy? "
Li Zhen also looked inexplicable, "I don't know, let's go in and see now."
He pulled Li Mengyao, the two sneaked into the cave and walked inside.
The cave of the Earth Bear was very simple, soon they came to the side of the pool and saw the lonely small tree inside, Li Mengyao said, "Big brother, is this the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit?"
Li Zhen said with a calm face, "Yes, this is the tree of the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, but the fruit on it is gone."
"Where is the fruit? Could it have been eaten by the Earth Bear? "
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Definitely not. If the Earth Bear ate the fruit, it wouldn't be so angry. It must have lost the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit and thought that we stole it, so it crazily retaliated against us."
Li Mengyao said in surprise, "What's going on? We didn't get the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, and we didn't eat the Earth Bear either. Is there a third person here? "
Li Zhen frowned and said, "Normally speaking, this isn't possible. Only our Azure Dragon royal family came here. Furthermore, we have been keeping an eye on the cave entrance, and no one has entered. How could there be other people?"
Li Mengyao said, "But, how could the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit be lost?"
Li Zhen's expression suddenly changed, "Could it be they stole the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit?"
"Who is it? Could it be that someone else has been here? "
Li Zhen said, "A few hours ago, the President of the Azure Dragon Kingdom's Alchemist Association, Lu Xiaoyao, brought three people here. Initially, they wanted to cooperate with me to snatch the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, but I rejected them.
Could it be that they didn't leave, but secretly stole the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit? "
Li Mengyao also knew Lu Xiaoyao. She said, "That's not very possible. Lu Xiaoyao is only in the early stages of Great Ascension Realm. It's impossible for him to steal the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit under the eyes of us and the Earth Bear."
"No matter what, we have failed this time. Let's leave this place first. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when the Earth Bear returns."
With that said, the two of them hurriedly left the place.
Outside the cave, the Azure Dragon Kingdom's guards were locked in a fierce battle with the Earth Bear.
The enraged Earth Bear grabbed another Great Ascension Realm guard and sat on his butt, turning him into meat paste.
Wang Minghai also found an opportunity to stab his longsword into the Earth Bear's chest.
It was a pity that the Earth Bear's defense was too strong. The treasured sword only managed to stab about two inches in before stopping. His arm was torn off by the Earth Bear's claws.
Seeing his men being beaten up so miserably, Li Zhen shouted, "The Earth Vein Spirit Fruit has been lost. Everyone, don't continue fighting. Hurry and retreat."
Hearing the order of the eldest prince, the guards immediately fled in all directions as if they had heard the sound of nature.
Although the Earth Bear was powerful, its only flaw was that it could not fly. Seeing that everyone had flown into the sky, it could only vent its anger on the surrounding rocks and trees on the ground.
Wang Minghai lost an arm and his face was pale. After simply dealing with the injury, he said to Li Zhen, "Your Royal Highness, what the hell is going on?"
"I don't know. In short, the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit in the cave has been picked by someone."
Wang Minghai said in surprise, "How is this possible? There is only one entrance to the cave. We have been guarding here all this time. How could someone get in? "
"Who would've known? If I find out who did it, I'll cut him into a thousand pieces."
Li Zhen was furious. He had led his men to fight with the Earth Bear outside, but the fruit was picked by someone else. This kind of depression made him want to vomit blood.
This time, he had come here with a middle stage Mahayana realm and two early stage Mahayana realm experts. In the end, two died and one was injured. It would have been worth it if they had gotten the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, but they got nothing.
With such a huge loss, even if he was the eldest prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, he would inevitably be punished when he returned.
Qin Haodong left the cave and entered the Seventh Stage Pagoda. When he returned, the two girls were already waiting impatiently.
"Husband, you're finally back. I was so worried." Niu Cuihua pulled Qin Haodong and said, "How are you? Are you hurt? "
He Ziwei did not speak, but her eyes were full of concern.
"No, I'm fine."
Qin Haodong smiled at the two girls.
Niu Cuihua then asked, "How was it? Did you get the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit?"
"Here it is."
Qin Haodong turned his wrist and five bright red Earth Vein Spirit Fruits appeared in his palm. The entire Seventh Stage Pagoda was filled with a rich fragrance.
"So beautiful!"
He Ziwei held one of the Earth Vein Spirit Fruits in her hand and played with it fondly. This thing looked more like a gem than anything else.
Niu Cuihua also grabbed one and said, "This fruit smells so good. Can I have one?"
She pretended to take a bite as she spoke. Qin Haodong hurriedly said, "No way."
Niu Cuihua pouted and said, "Stingy. There are five of them. What's the big deal about giving one to me and Sister Ziwei?"
Qin Haodong smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a matter of being stingy. You're not a magical beast. If you directly swallow an Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, your body will explode and you will die."
Compared to magical beasts, the human body and meridians were much weaker. It had to be refined into pills before it could be consumed. If it was directly consumed, not only would it not have any effect, it would also cost one's life.
"Alright then. I'll return it to you first."
Niu Cuihua placed the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit back in Qin Haodong's hand and said, "How did you get this?"
Qin Haodong told her what had happened from beginning to end. In the end, he said, "Fortunately, the people from the Azure Dragon Kingdom came. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to lure the Earth Bear out, and I wouldn't have been able to do anything."
Niu Cuihua smiled and said, "The people from the Azure Dragon Kingdom are really stupid. They fought so hard outside, but it turns out that they helped you a lot."
He Ziwei smiled and said, "How are they now? Do they know that the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit has been lost? "
Qin Haodong said, "When I came out, the Earth Bear had already found out that something was wrong. I guess it's looking for trouble now."
After saying that, he summoned the Three-legged Golden Toad with his mind.
It was attracted by the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit in Qin Haodong's hand as soon as it came out. Its eyes showed a greedy look, and its big head kept rubbing against Qin Haodong's leg.
"It's no use trying to please me. I can only give you one. Whether it can improve your bloodline depends on you."
Qin Haodong threw an Earth Vein Spirit Fruit to it. The Three-legged Golden Toad rolled its big tongue and swallowed it directly.
Niu Cuihua said, "Magical beasts are lucky. They can eat it whenever they want. I don't know if this fruit will work."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Three-legged Golden Toad flopped on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Haodong said, "It seems to work. When it wakes up, it should be a magical beast of the eighth rank."
After saying that, he put the Three-legged Golden Toad back into the spirit beast bag.
He Ziwei asked, "When are we going back?"
Qin Haodong said, "Don't worry. I'll refine a furnace of Pulse Refining Pills for you to improve your cultivation, and then we'll go out."
Niu Cuihua said, "You're only at the Form Synthesis Stage now. Can you refine eighth-grade pills?"
"Do me a favor. You can try it."
Qin Haodong's attainments in alchemy were no problem. What he lacked now was cultivation.
But after last time's cross-body transfer, he thought he could ask Niu Cuihua to help him try.
He took out the Shennong Cauldron and sat cross-legged. He let Niu Cuihua sit behind him, put his right hand on the Mingmen acupoint on his back, and slowly transferred Genuine Qi.
He could now use Niu Cuihua's Genuine Qi to temporarily improve his cultivation to the early stage of the Dacheng Realm, but this was only temporary. As long as Niu Cuihua withdrew her hand, he would immediately return to the original level, which was still at the Form Synthesis Stage.
Moreover, this kind of cross-body transfer consumed a lot of Niu Cuihua's energy, so she couldn't hold on for too long.
He first threw the Earth Vein Spirit Fruit into the Shennong Cauldron, then took out the corresponding pills of Pulse Refining Pills and threw them in one by one to refine.
About an hour later, a strong fragrance of pills floated out, and then seven red Pulse Refining Pills flew out of the Shennong Cauldron and fell into the jade bottle in Qin Haodong's hand.
"It's done!"
Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief and his forehead was covered with sweat. Just now, with the help of Niu Cuihua's Genuine Qi, it consumed a lot of his spiritual force.
He took out two Pulse Refining Pills and gave one to Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei.
"Try it and see how it works!"
The two of them swallowed the pills and began to cultivate to improve their cultivation.
Time passed by, and about an hour later, He Ziwei was the first to break through, and she crossed two thresholds in succession, directly reaching the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage.
After her, Niu Cuihua's aura suddenly soared, reaching the late stage of the Dacheng Realm.
Both of them successfully broke through. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Haodong also took out a low-grade immortal crystal and began to break through the bottleneck of the Dacheng Realm.
When he was in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, a low-grade immortal crystal allowed him to enter the middle stage of the Form Synthesis Stage from the early stage. Now that he had 16 low-grade immortal crystals, he should be able to succeed.
