Chapter 63 More Wool-Fleecing, Longevity Fruit
However, this medicinal garden space is only open for one day, so Chen Liang naturally has to wait until he leaves the Void Heaven Palace before refining his natal magic weapon.
After taking stock of his spoils, Chen Liang, feeling bored, took out the unfinished pot of Jade Spirit Wine and poured a cup for himself and Xuan Gu each.
As Chen Liang was enjoying a leisurely drink, Xuan Gu, smelling the aroma of the wine, reluctantly opened his eyes and looked in Chen Liang's direction.
When Xuan Gu saw that Chen Liang had also poured himself a cup, he didn't care about refining the Golden Thunder Bamboo anymore and quickly used his spiritual power to take the cup of Jade Spirit Wine.
Anyway, Golden Thunder Bamboo is a very difficult thing for a ghost cultivator like him to refine, and it will take a lot of time, so there is no rush.
Moreover, he was distracted, so Xuan Gu simply threw the Golden Thunder Bamboo into the rib artifact and began to savor the Azure Spirit Wine that he had been curious about for so long.
After enjoying the refreshing comfort brought by the Jade Spirit Wine, Xuan Gu couldn't help but say, "Actually, you're that five-elemental root rogue cultivator from Tianxing City, right? I heard you also have the title of the most affectionate male cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea. A few days ago, you went to flirt with Madam Wen. You're really quite the young and romantic."
Chen Liang: "Looks like you've investigated me. Let me guess, it's the White Gate Pavilion in Tianxing City, right?"
Xuan Gu: "That's not important. What's important is how you did it?"
Chen Liang: "Then what gave you the right to kill your master and establish your own lineage back then?"
Xuan Gu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then said, "It seems to be similar to what I thought, namely the exploration of cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities."
We are truly kindred spirits; no wonder you possess so many supernatural abilities. We can discuss these principles more often in the future.”
Chen Liang then said, "So, let me guess, you've come here for some kind of supernatural power, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Gu fell silent for a moment, then said, "Let me guess, you're probably determined to get the Void Heaven Cauldron on this trip, aren't you?"
Chen Liang turned to look at Xuan Gu, "What do you mean?"
Xuan Gu: "Hehe, your cultivation technique is clearly very effective for nurturing spiritual plants and beasts. You must have raised some extraordinary pet that can pull the cauldron, so you discussed it with Manhuzi and the others, agreeing to retrieve it together. Is that right?"
Chen Liang: "So you also want to take this opportunity to plot against the Azure Ice Flame, is that right?"
Xuan Gu stood up and turned around properly before saying, "Yes, but this matter is ultimately mutually beneficial, so I think you will agree."
After all, the Azure Ice Flame is not easy to deal with, and my cultivation technique only evolved to have the ability to capture it by chance.
Chen Liang: "Then you've misunderstood. If your technique can have that ability, then my technique can too."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Gu nervously fidgeted with his fingers and then said, "So what do you want? To not let me into that inner hall?"
Chen Liang: "Your ghost cultivation technique is very special. It follows the primordial path of life within death and death within life, which is somewhat similar to my technique."
Therefore, your true fire must also be a kind of primordial fire. If you use this kind of flame as a means of manipulation, and at the same time control the extremely yang and strong power of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder and the extremely yin and cold power of the Azure Ice Flame, you can probably obtain the legendary Asura Sacred Fire. The same applies to me.
But don't worry, I'm not the kind of cultivator who, once I've mastered a supernatural power, will prevent others from doing the same. I can share some of that Azure Ice Flame with you, but the rules remain the same.
"If you want it, you'll have to trade it for treasure."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Gu's cheeks twitched involuntarily.
"It's happened again. How many times has this happened already? Does he think I'm that rich?"
Then, Xuan Gu cautiously said, "I still have some Yin-Yang True Gold here."
Chen Liang looked at him teasingly: "So that piece of Yin-Yang True Gold was just the right size to be refined into the magic weapon. It turns out it was split up."
Xuan Gu looked at Chen Liang with the eyes of someone wary of a thief, but had no choice but to continue, "This is all I have left. I really don't have any other treasures."
Chen Liang turned around and said, "Then there's no point in discussing it."
Xuan Gu was so angry that his face turned ashen, but he was also so anxious that he paced around in circles.
"I still have some Geng metal left, I'll give it all to you. If that doesn't work, I'll leave the Void Heaven Palace in the next level."
Chen Liang didn't turn around, but said, "Considering the complete 'Mysterious Yin Manual' I read before, this transaction is barely acceptable. But I'm making it clear beforehand that I can only give you one Fire Seed. And it's cash on delivery."
Xuan Gu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "That will do."
Then, Chen Liang couldn't help but ask, "Actually, judging from the way you seem to hate Ji Yin and Ji Xuan so much, it seems you never intended to turn them into corpse puppets, which is why you hate them so vehemently?"
Xuan Gu sighed, sat down again, and said, "You've seen my cultivation technique, so you should know it."
Cultivating the "Mysterious Yin Technique" requires a large amount of blood and flesh essence, so even if I were to deal with them, I should refine all their blood and flesh essence cleanly, and then use a secret method to refine them into bone puppets to make the best use of them.
The corpse-cultivation techniques like the Heavenly Capital Corpse Puppet were passed down from my old ghost master; I have no respect for them at all.
Chen Liang: "Then why teach them flawed techniques and even implant imprints on them?"
Xuan Gu said confidently, "You are still young and do not understand the principle of 'teaching a disciple can lead to the master's death.' Besides, I started my career by killing my master, so of course I have to be wary of my own disciples."
So I planted an imprint on them, so that they could experience the days I went through back then, hoping that this would help them grow into useful talents.
As a result, the same thing that happened to my master happened to me.
Chen Liang nodded and said, "I understand. The masters in your lineage just love to court death."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Gu clenched his fists tightly. "Hey! You! Hey!!"
Meanwhile, the second clone followed Qingyi Jushi and Jiyin to the area where the Longevity Fruit Forest was located.
The Longevity Fruit Forest is arguably the most famous place of opportunity in the Void Heaven Palace. It is guarded by the Star Palace, and no one is allowed to fight here.
If cultivators want to harvest the Longevity Fruit, they must determine ownership according to the principle of first come, first served, and even Nascent Soul cultivators like Barbarian Beard are no exception.
However, before that, the Star Palace will take half of the ripe Longevity Fruits as compensation for the orchard manager.
Of course, the Star Palace's role is not limited to maintaining order. They also repurpose some of the recycled Longevity Fruit cores into the orchard, allowing it to flourish even more.
On the other hand, even though the Nascent Soul cultivators of both the righteous and demonic paths set off later, they still arrived at the Longevity Fruit Forest earlier than the Core Formation cultivators who set off earlier. After all, the escape speed of Nascent Soul cultivators was something that Core Formation cultivators could not catch up with.
Therefore, when both the righteous and demonic factions arrived at the Longevity Fruit Forest, only Jin Kui and Elder Jia, who had already completed their harvest, were present.
The righteous and demonic forces exchanged a glance, and with tacit understanding, each chose an area to begin collecting the Longevity Fruits.
The second clone infiltrated the demonic path's ranks, first collecting a few Longevity Fruits that could also affect Nascent Soul cultivators, and then gathering some Longevity Fruits that could only affect Core Formation cultivators.
The other Nascent Soul cultivators in the arena only collected a few Nascent Soul level Longevity Fruits, while Wu Chou collected some Core Formation level Longevity Fruits.
From this perspective, the second clone has become the one who collected the most Longevity Fruits in the arena.
However, since the second clone represents both the original body and himself, no one said much about taking it.
As for the remaining Longevity Fruits, they will, according to past practice, be widely distributed to various regions of the Chaotic Star Sea by later Core Formation cultivators.
Afterwards, both teams, having finished harvesting the Longevity Fruit, dispersed to seek their own opportunities.
