Chapter 779: The Earth Immortal Fruit Has Ripened!
A strong fragrance filled the air on a pond.
Three shadows were fighting intensely. Two of them were the two giant loaches that Ye Chen subdued last time.
The other figure was an old man who wore a black robe, and his face was covered in countless ugly spots. At that moment, terrifying mysterious qi surged from his body while his hands formed seals to suppress the two enormous loaches.
“Evil creatures, I’ve already said that we’re here for this water lily. As long as you don’t stop me, I’m willing to give you half of the exotic fruit in it!”
He was furious!
In his early years, he had unintentionally obtained a pill formula, a pill formula that could increase the aptitude of a Mystic Master. However, the pill formula lacked a main ingredient. For this reason, he had finally found it in the Spirit Fog Island of Tianfeng City after going through countless hardships.
Thus, he intentionally befriended Situ Yun and his son, who were in charge of Spirit Fog Island, in order to wait for the Earth Immortal Fruit to ripen today. However, when he encountered this pair of Spirit Beast Guardians, they seemed as if they were high on drugs and refused to let him take the Earth Immortal Fruit no matter what.
There was not even room for discussion!
Roar!
Faced with his compromise, the two giant loaches roared in unison and frantically urged their bodies to break the formation he had set up.
The old man snorted as a vicious look flashed across his face, “Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
At the next moment, he suddenly bit his finger, and a bloody line shot into the sky. He reached out and grabbed it, and the bloody line suddenly expanded, turning into a large net that enveloped the two giant loaches.
A childish female voice immediately sounded from the water lily, “Two idiots, get out of the way!”
The old man smirked coldly, “I didn’t hesitate to use my mysterious qi to form the Dragon Blood Net. If you guys dodge it, I’d be a grade-3 Mystic Master in vain!”
Just as the net was about to wrap around the two giant loaches, it suddenly let out a loud bang and exploded.
Blergh!
The black-robed elder spat a mouthful of blood and looked around in shock, “Who is it?”
In the next moment, an extremely skinny figure slowly entered his sight. The black-robed old man’s expression changed when he saw Ye Chen, “Why are you here?!”
In that instant, great waves rose in his heart. It could be said that he knew about the Seven Mysteries Mansion and Situ Yun joining forces to destroy the King Mu Fort, but he did not go with them.
He initially thought that the King Mu Fort was doomed. Never did he expect that Ye Chen was actually a Pseudo Emperor Stage powerhouse. Not only did he end the four great forces, he even killed the Seven Mysteries Mansion’s supreme elder.
Therefore, he was horrified when he heard the news. He rushed to the Spirit Fog Island overnight and wanted to take the Earth Immortal Fruit in advance. He did not expect Ye Chen to come for the Earth Immortal Fruit.
An extremely aggrieved voice immediately came from the water lily, “Rascal, you’re finally here. The two big idiots were beaten so badly by this naughty man!”
The black-robed old man’s expression changed when he heard those words. He cried bitterly inside of him and hurriedly said, “Senior, this is a misunderstanding…”
Ye Chen did not wait for him to finish. He scoffed and slashed at him with his fingers like a knife. He did not give him a chance to explain.
The black robed old man was instantly astounded, and he could not be bothered about the Earth Immortal Fruit any longer. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue and formed seals with his hands before transforming into a bloody shadow that flashed towards the distance.
He knew very well that Ye Chen could even kill Li Fenghan, the supreme elder of the Seven Mysteries Mansion, let alone a grade-3 Mystic Master like him.
Ye Chen stood far away and scoffed in disdain. He teleported and slapped the top of his opponent’s head, turning him into a bloody mist.
His series of decisive methods completely frightened the water lily and the two giant loaches.
“Follow me!”
Ye Chen turned around and looked at the water lily. His gaze was focused on the golden fruit inside it. Then, he grabbed the air and the golden fruit flew out of the water lily.
A palm-sized jade bottle appeared. The Earth Immortal Fruit shot into the jade bottle accurately. Ye Chen stuck a Spirit Sealing Talisman on it casually!
The Earth Immortal Fruit was the root of the earth, so it required a special preservation method. One had to use a jade bottle, or its spirituality would dissipate very quickly. Once its spirituality was completely depleted, it would lose its effect.
The water lily without the Earth Immortal Fruit trembled as it said timidly, “Rascal, I will die if I leave the water. How can I leave with you?”
After witnessing Ye Chen’s ruthless methods, she completely gave up on resisting, afraid that she would end up like the black-robed old man.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “It’s simple. I’ll seal you first. I’ll remove the seal for you when we get back!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, causing a spirit talisman to shoot explosively towards the water lily. Along with a flash of brilliant light, the water lily swiftly shrunk in size before transforming into a ray of dim light that descended into the spirit talisman.
The water lily was the root of the Earth Immortal Fruit. The reason why he wanted to take it away was because he wanted to see if he could raise it. This way, he would not have to go through so much trouble to search for the Earth Immortal Fruit in the future.
He was not worried about whether he could support it. After all, he possessed a heaven-defying item like the Immortal Drift Bottle.
“As for you guys!”
Ye Chen lifted his eyes to look at the two giant loaches, “Shrink your size for now and follow me!”
He did have a storage ring, but the storage ring could only store still objects. They could not store living things unless he refined the 10,000 Beasts Pouch!
As soon as he said that, the two giant loaches shrunk into the size of hair and hung on Ye Chen’s head. Ordinary people would not be able to see anything unusual.
Ye Chen turned around and left after he was done.
…
“Young master is back!”
As soon as Ye Chen returned to the King Mu Fort, the two guards standing at the entrance immediately stood up respectfully. They looked extremely passionate!
It could be said that Ye Chen’s current status in the King Mu Fort was no less than King Mu and Mu Caiwei. It was because Ye Chen was the King Mu Fort’s savior.
In the entire Tianfeng sea area, the most famous person was none other than Shi Qianhan!
Ye Chen looked at the countless carriages and horses parked at the entrance. He then took a look at the crowded fort and said while frowning, “Why is it so crowded?”
One of the guards immediately said, “Young master doesn’t know this, but ever since you destroyed the Seven Mysteries Mansion, countless people have been wanting to butter you up. They want to befriend the King Mu Fort, and even want to befriend you…”
“I see!”
Ye Chen could not help but laugh out of surprise. He then walked in. He did not alarm anyone as he was not interested in the prosperous King Mu Fort.
In the courtyard of the fort, Ye Chen stood on the quiet path and lifted his head to look at the vast night sky. There was a smile on his face, “Now that I’ve got the Earth Immortal Fruit, it’s time to consider returning to Earth!”
It was a foreign country after all. Only Earth, China, Tiannan, and Lin City were his real home.
There, he had his parents, wife, daughter and friends…
