Chapter 688 - The True Treasure!



Chapter 688: The True Treasure!

Li Xuanji pointed at the fruit on the sheepskin and said confidently.

Ye Chen stared at the fruit quietly. However, there was an uncontrollable wave in his heart!

A fruit tree grew at the peak of a sea of clouds that spanned thousands of kilometers. Although it was called a sea of clouds, it was actually a visual effect produced by the dense spiritual mist!

On the other hand, the fruit was shining brightly. It was only the size of an apricot, but Ye Chen could clearly see the veins on it.

It was not the Vermilion Fruit that Li Xuanji had mentioned!

It was an Earth Immortal Fruit!

An Earth Immortal Fruit with an earth spiritual root!

When the two words ‘Earth Immortal’ were mentioned, one would associate it with the ancestor of Earth Immortal, Zhen Yuanzi! He was part of the Ten Thousand Years Mountain’s Temple of Five Villages in Journey to the West.

There was a ginseng fruit tree in Zhen Yuanzi’s Temple of Five Villages. The fruit was also known as the Grass Pill, “It blooms every 3,000 years and bears fruit every 3,000 years. It will only ripen after another 3,000 years. One could only eat it after close to 10,000 years.

This tree is an earth spiritual root. The fruits it produces are rare. If a person is fated to obtain the fruit and smell it, they will be able to live for 360 years. Eating a fruit will allow one to live for 47,000 years!”

Earth Immortal Fruits and Ginseng Fruits had similar effects.

However, the difference was that the Earth Immortal Fruit only bloomed once every hundred years and bore fruit once every hundred years. It would only ripen after another hundred years, so it would take 300 years before it could be eaten.

The Earth Immortal Fruit had no effect of extending one’s lifespan!

However, it could be used to refine the Qi Repair Pill!

The Qi Repair Pill’s heaven-defying effect was that it could help a mortal without a spiritual root to possess a spiritual root, and then one could step onto the path of cultivation.

Although the Qi Repair Pill was not an immortal pill but a spirit pill, it was extremely difficult to refine as the main ingredient to refine the Qi Repair Pill, the Earth Immortal Fruit, was too hard to find!

Even Ye Chen had only found it in a dangerous place in the cultivation world. Many cultivators fought over the two Earth Immortal Fruits back then.

Although the Earth Immortal Fruit was useless to cultivators, it was no different from an immortal pill to the descendants of cultivators. After all, even the descendants of cultivators could not guarantee that they would have spiritual roots.

What shocked him was that he could actually see the Earth Immortal Fruit on Li Xuanji’s sheepskin scroll. Furthermore, Li Xuanji treated it as a Vermilion Fruit.

‘I was still worried that my parents wouldn’t have a spiritual root and would not be able to step onto the path of cultivation. After a hundred years, my parents would eventually be reincarnated.’

Ye Chen suppressed the excitement in him and thought to himself, ‘If I can get the Earth Immortal Fruit on the sheepskin scroll and refine the Qi Repair Pills, won’t my parents get their spiritual roots?’

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Li Xuanji could not help but ask, “Fellow Ye, could it be that you’re also interested in the Vermilion Fruit?”

‘Anyone would be interested in such a treasure!’

Ye Chen smiled without saying anything. He did not voice his foolish idea. Instead, he asked, “Elder Priest Li, where did you get this sheepskin scroll?”

“At the Wu River…”

Li Xuanji said seriously, “The Wu River is where the ghost ship appears every time. Every time the ghost ship appears, some strange things will appear in the river. I once sent people to secretly fish it out.”

After saying that, he took out a pale green jade pendant and said, “There’s also this jade pendant. It actually contains supernatural power fluctuations.”

‘Magic tool?’

Ye Chen extended his hand and waved. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He said while deep in thought, “Unfortunately, there’s not much supernatural power left in it. I’m sure this magic tool has existed for a long time.”

“That’s right!”

Li Xuanji nodded slightly, “That’s right.”

On the side, Niu Qingshan asked, “Elder Priest Li, in other words, the rumor that the ghost ship leads to the netherworld and can revive the dead is fake?”

“Of course it’s fake!”

Li Xuanji sighed softly, “Even though it’s been spread that the ghost ship can lead to the three immortal mountains, there is no proof for it. After all, the immortal mountains only exist in the rumors. They’re too illusory.”

“Are there many people on the ghost ship every time?” Ye Chen frowned.

He did not care about the ghost ship. He only cared about the Earth Immortal Fruit on the sheepskin scroll. Since it had been drawn, it must have existed. There was no such coincidence in this world.

As for who had drawn the picture on the parchment, that was not worth his worry!

“Yes!”

Li Xuanji said in a deep voice, “The ghost ship only appears once every 20 years. Whether it’s in Shang Santian or the secular world, there will always be people who flock to them. Some of them have the intention to explore, some want to reveal the secret, and some want to go up and check whether the people who disappeared with the ghost ship are dead or alive!”

At this point, he shook his head and said, “Based on my calculations, in less than ten days, the ghost ship that appears once every 20 years should appear again. This time, I wonder how many people will die for it.”

‘Less than ten days?’

Ye Chen’s expression froze when he heard that.

This time, he was slightly interested in the ghost ship!

“Could it be that Fellow Ye also wants to board the ghost ship?”

Seeing his expression, Li Xuanji’s expression changed slightly, “I advise you to give up on this idea right away. The danger of the ghost ship is beyond your imagination. Even someone as talented as Jiang Yuheng could not get out of the ghost ship.”

“That’s right, kid. Don’t forget that you still have family!”

Niu Qingshan said, “The ghost ship may be dangerous, but the human heart is even more vicious. Since you killed Xiao Yang and the rest, you will definitely come into contact with the people of Shang Santian on the ghost ship. By then, you will become the target of everyone.”

At the end of his sentence, he added, “Most importantly, not just anyone can step onto the ghost ship. They need the netherworld token to be qualified.”

‘The netherworld token?’

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that!

There just so happened to be a netherworld token in his storage ring, which he had obtained from Xiao Buyi’s fake tomb while visiting the Tang family’s ancestral tomb in Hong Kong.

“I know what to do. Thank you!”

Ye Chen smiled lightly and left after chatting with them for a while.

Even though the incident at the Yang City International Hotel had been intentionally sealed off by Dragon Soul, the news still spread eventually. Soon after, it caused waves of uproar.

He violently beaten up Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master Guan Shanyue, crippled Duan Feng from Shang Santian, killed Huang Kun with a single punch, killed Bai Xin with a single lift of his arm, and even killed four martial venerables including Xiao Yang.

He even forced the guardian of China, Jiang Zhengyang, to stop him. However, Ye Chen still killed Guan Shanyue in front of him!

Such accomplishments could be said to be earth-shattering and unprecedented!

One must know that to all the cultivators in the secular world, Shang Santian was like a mountain that could not be defended. Even after Xiao Yang and the rest entered the world, the people on the Heaven Leaderboard of China were defeated by them.

It could be said that before this, the cultivation world in China had been in a state of low spirits. Even though Shang Santian had been tyrannical in various parts of China, no one had dared to defend them. No one had dared to say no. Some had even taken the initiative to submit to Shang Santian!

However, Ye Chen did what they could not. He did what they did not dare to imagine. How could it not cause a huge stir in the Chinese cultivation world?
