Chapter 106: Jin Gang Fruit Seed! Corpse Ghost! Huge Harvest!

"Hmm?!"

The moment he stepped into the ruins, Jiang Ye paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his aged eyes.

The light in the cave was dim, the air damp and cold, carrying the breath of accumulated time.

He quietly activated his Fire Eyes, red-gold light flashing in his eyes.

What came into view were crisscrossing fork roads, extending in all directions like a spider web, the scale of which was amazing, as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out.

After the swarming disciples came in, they were full of excitement, their eyes only filled with fanaticism and greed, charging as soon as they saw a road, too late to think too much.

Soon, the crowd was diverted by these fork roads, shouts and footsteps gradually drifting away, disappearing into the depths of the deep passage.

"Where should this fork road go."

Jiang Ye raised his brows slightly, scanning these fork roads.

He thought to himself, the size of this ruin was beyond imagination, each road might lead to different directions, must be cautious.

Just then.

Zheng Feng quickly came to Jiang Ye's side with Zheng Hui, his handsome face unable to hide his excitement, lowering his voice:

"Elder Jiang, my sister said she smelled a very rich vitality from the direction of that intersection, very likely there are spirit herbs!!!"

"Oh?!"

Jiang Ye looked in the direction Zheng Feng pointed.

That was the third fork road on the left, the location was remote, not many disciples gathered inside, only a few scattered figures disappeared into the darkness.

"Go!"

The three of them didn't hesitate anymore, their figures flickered, and they rushed into that fork road.

The speed of the two was extremely fast, Zheng Feng in front, Jiang Ye behind, Zheng Hui protected in the middle, and they penetrated dozens of zhang in the blink of an eye.

But to their surprise, not long after entering, several more fork roads appeared in front of them, like branches, layered and layered.

Both were slightly startled.

This was not a ruin at all, but a huge maze.

"That way!"

Zheng Hui sniffed her nose a few times, her long, white fingers pointing to an intersection on the right without hesitation, looking just like a hunting dog with a keen sense of smell.

"Go!"

The two rushed in the direction she pointed.

But after taking a few steps, several more fork roads were in front of them.

At this step, even the shadows of the disciples couldn't be seen, all were diverted to unknown corners, leaving only the three of them wandering in this deep passage.

About the time of an incense stick.

What came into view was finally not an endless fork road, but a huge cave emitting soft light.

"Why is there light in this cave..."

The faces of the three Jiang Ye all revealed a hint of incredulity.

They quickened their pace and stepped into the cave.

When they saw the scene in the cave, the three were stunned together.

On the top of the cave, several fist-sized night-luminescent pearls were embedded, emitting soft and cold light, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

The pearls were round and full, white all over, I don't know how long they had been shining in the dark, but the luster remained undiminished.

"What a big hand."

Zheng Feng sighed softly, his gaze lingering on the night-luminescent pearls for a moment.

According to the current market price, a high-quality night-luminescent pearl would cost at least five thousand taels of silver, but here, it was just used as a candle.

The foundation of the previous dynasty could be seen from this.

Jiang Ye was also amazed, his gaze moved away from the night-luminescent pearls and swept towards the depths of the cave.

"Brother, this cave is a medicine field!!!"

Zheng Hui's excited exclamation came.

The two looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two huge medicine fields arranged in the center of the cave.

The medicine fields were rectangular, edged with bluestone, and filled with thick spirit soil, even after I don't know how many years, the soil still emitted faint spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, because the time was too long, most of the spirit herbs on the two medicine fields had withered and fallen, leaving only a piece of withered yellow residual branches and leaves, looking particularly desolate under the light of the night-luminescent pearls.

On the two medicine fields, one seedling remained on each, standing alone in the withered leaves, becoming the last survivors of this abandoned medicine field.

On the medicine field on the left, only a flower that was red all over, like a sunflower, remained.

The petals were layered, the edges slightly curled, shining with the luster of flames under the light of the night-luminescent pearls, as if still burning the last warmth of life.

On the medicine field on the right, only a small fruit that was golden all over, like a fragrant pear, remained.

The fruit skin was smooth as a mirror, with golden patterns faintly flowing, although it was only the size of an infant's fist, it carried a heavy sense of weight.

"Sun Flower?!"

Seeing that red flower, Zheng Feng's eyes lit up, his eyes staring straight, and his face revealed an irrepressible excitement.

He stepped forward, squatted down to look carefully, wishing he could pick the flower immediately.

Sensing Jiang Ye's confused look beside him, Zheng Feng immediately explained: "Elder Jiang, this Sun Flower is a fire-attribute spirit herb, which can help people quickly nourish fire qi, and is of great benefit to cultivation. For those of us who cultivate fire-line true qi, it can be called a top-grade spirit herb! It can't be seen on the market at all, even if someone occasionally gets it, they hide it for their own use and will never take it out to sell."

"Sun Flower..."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the red flower, thoughtful.

Subsequently, he looked at the other medicine field and asked: "True Disciple Zheng, what about that golden fruit?"

"That is..."

Hearing this, Zheng Feng moved his attention away from the Sun Flower, his gaze falling on the golden fruit, his brows slightly furrowed, falling into thought.

After a while, his eyes lit up, and he said tremblingly: "This seems to be the legendary Jin Gang Fruit..."

As soon as the words came out, he shook his head slightly, his tone becoming hesitant again, "No, the legendary mature Jin Gang Fruit is seven inches in size, surrounded by golden patterns, the size of this fruit doesn't match, it's too small..."

He pondered hard, took out an ancient booklet from his bosom, and couldn't wait to flip through it.

A strange look flashed in Jiang Ye's aged eyes.

He vaguely saw the words "Spirit Herb Record" written on the cover of the booklet, the paper yellowed, the corners frayed, clearly read countless times.

This kid is worthy of being a young master from a giant city in Linzhou, the preparation is actually so sufficient.

After a while.

"Found it!"

Zheng Feng took the record on the booklet and excitedly handed it to Jiang Ye: "Elder Jiang, that is the seed of the Jin Gang Fruit!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Ye took the booklet and looked at it.

There was indeed a pattern on it, exactly the same as this golden fruit in front of him, with the five small characters "Jin Gang Fruit Seed" marked next to it, and dense annotations below.

Zheng Feng explained, his tone full of emotion:

"Elder Jiang, the Jin Gang Fruit is a legendary strange fruit."

"It is said that ordinary people who don't understand martial arts can have the strength of a cow after eating a Diamond Fruit, comparable to a Dark Energy martial artist... I don't know if it's true or false..."

"If a martial artist with cultivation consumes it, their physique will be greatly improved, and their tendons, bones, skin, and membranes can all be tempered by the medicinal power."

"It can be considered a strange fruit that assists in body refining."

He paused and added: "However, the Jin Gang Fruit is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the requirements for the environment are harsh. Currently, except for the Buddhist country in the Western Regions, I haven't heard of a second Jin Gang Fruit tree."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye raised his brows slightly, a hint of hidden heat flashing in his aged eyes.

His gaze fell on the golden fruit, and he didn't move it for a long time.

Seeing that Jiang Ye seemed interested in the seed of the Jin Gang Fruit, Zheng Feng immediately said: "Elder Jiang, since you are interested in this Jin Gang Fruit seed, then I will take the other Sun Flower?"

In his view, although the Jin Gang Fruit seed had a big name, it was almost impossible to cultivate, far less practical than the Sun Flower.

"Good! This old man is indeed quite interested in this thing."

Jiang Ye laughed and didn't be polite.

Almost at the same time, the two stepped into the medicine field separately and carefully picked the Sun Flower and the Jin Gang Fruit seed.

"With the assistance of this Sun Flower, I should be able to open up eight regular meridians and step into the late stage of the Embracing the Pill Realm soon."

Zheng Feng took out an exquisite jade box from his bosom, solemnly put the red flower into it, his face full of irrepressible excitement.

Zheng Hui beside him teased with a smile: "Brother, you smile too exaggeratedly, your teeth are exposed..."

Before the words fell, her expression changed suddenly, her brows tightly furrowed: "What is so smelly."

Bang!

A muffled sound exploded suddenly.

The medicine field where Zheng Feng was located suddenly cracked, mud splashed, and a black figure rushed out from the ground, bringing a fishy, rotten smell.

"Ah——!!!"

Zheng Hui widened her eyes, letting out a sharp scream, instinctively retreating two steps.

Zheng Feng immediately protected his sister, true qi surging in his body, ready to take action at any time.

Jiang Ye also looked up, his aged eyes slightly narrowed.

I saw that figure that rushed out, covered in black hair, the body no different from ordinary people, the face black, death qi entangled, the five senses distorted almost to the point of being unrecognizable, ten fingers curved like claws, nails long and black, shining with weird luster.

That appearance was very creepy, no wonder it scared Zheng Hui.

Fortunately, after this thing rushed out, it stood there blankly, motionless, and didn't attack Jiang Ye and the others, like a piece of rotten wood forgotten for a thousand years.

"True Disciple Zheng, do you recognize what this is?"

Jiang Ye looked at Zheng Feng not far away and asked softly.

He had already regarded Zheng Feng as a walking encyclopedia.

Zheng Feng stared at the black-haired figure for a long time, his expression gradually becoming solemn: "Elder Jiang, this seems to be... a Corpse Ghost."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ye was slightly startled.

Zheng Feng explained in a deep voice:

"This is a typical demonic sect evil art, refining living people into half-human, half-corpse existences, neither alive nor dead, neither human nor ghost, it is said that there is a similar evil art inheritance in Miaozhou in the far south. However—"

He changed the subject, his tone carrying a bit more confidence:

"Except for the legendary thunder qi, our fire-line true qi is the nemesis of these evil things!"

The moment the words fell, true qi surged in Zheng Feng's body, and he took action fiercely.

"Blazing Fire Blade!"

With a roar, surging fire-line true qi condensed into a hot fire blade in his palm, the blade red as flame, carrying scorching heat waves, slashing fiercely at the black-haired Corpse Ghost not far away.

Puchi!!!

The moment the Blazing Fire Blade slashed the Corpse Ghost, a hot black qi steamed up from the evil thing's body, and a strong burnt smell filled the air.

A fire-red blade mark was left on the Corpse Ghost's body, the skin and flesh rolled up, but not a drop of blood was seen.

But it didn't fall, still standing there blankly, like a puppet without pain, and didn't make any counterattack.

"Didn't cut it off?!"

Zheng Feng was slightly startled, then circulated his true qi, and slashed several more times fiercely.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi......

Several more fire-red blade marks appeared on the Corpse Ghost's body, but it still didn't fall.

"What's the situation."

A look of shock flashed in Zheng Feng's eyes.

The power of his few slashes, even refined iron, should have been cut off.

Moreover, his fire-line true qi had extra damage to the Corpse Ghost, why didn't it lie down after a few slashes.

At this time, Jiang Ye laughed and stepped forward slowly:

"True Disciple Zheng, let this old man try."

He stood up fiercely, took a step, and raised his hand with a Tiger-Form Fist, the fist peak covered with red-gold true qi, as if carrying a miniature scorching sun, blasting fiercely at the Corpse Ghost's head.

The next instant.

Roar!!!

As the fist came out, a tiger roar faintly came from the air, the sound low and majestic.

The red-gold true qi condensed into a tiger phantom on the fist peak, baring fangs and brandishing claws, pouncing on the black-haired Corpse Ghost.

Bang—!!!

A muffled loud noise, the Corpse Ghost's head exploded under the blast of red-gold true qi, turning into wisps of black qi, twisting and struggling in the air, finally dissipating into nothingness.

Its headless corpse swayed, finally falling heavily to the ground, stirring up a piece of dust.

"Hmm..."

A strange look flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but before shattering the Corpse Ghost's head, he seemed to see a trace of relief in its black eyes.

At the same time.

Liu Yiyi and Wang Siyi finally arrived at a cave full of light after passing through one fork road after another.

"Xu Xu Shijie Yiyi, look at that!!!"

Wang Siyi widened her eyes, staring fixedly at the center of the cave, her voice trembling with excitement.

There was a small medicine field there, the mud had cracked, but in the center stood a snow lotus about three inches long, crystal clear.

The snow lotus was snow-white all over, the petals thin as cicada wings, the edges glowing with faint blue light, wisps of chill emitting from the heart of the flower, even from far away, one could feel the refreshing coolness, making people's spirits lift.

Liu Yiyi looked up and was also suddenly startled.

No matter how shallow her experience was, she knew that this snow lotus was definitely a rare spirit herb, the quality of which was unprecedented.

"Junior Xu Xu Shijie Wang, this spirit herb, we'll have half each!"

Liu Yiyi said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.

Wang Siyi laughed, her smile full of honesty: "Xu Xu Shijie Yiyi, just call me Siyi, if this spirit herb is divided into two halves, I'm afraid the medicinal power will be greatly lost."

Liu Yiyi looked at Wang Siyi, her tone cold: "Then what do you mean..."

Wang Siyi ran over directly, couldn't wait to pick the snow lotus, and handed it to Liu Yiyi: "Xu Xu Shijie Yiyi, this spirit herb is for you first, when we find other spirit herbs later, give them to me!"

Liu Yiyi was silent for a long time, looking at the sincere little face in front of her, and nodded slowly: "Good!"

Just then.

Accompanied by a heavy sound of footsteps, a tall man dressed in Hanjian Sect tight-fitting clothes also entered the cave.

This person's name was Gu Yang, exactly the person who had defeated the Tianqing Sect disciples with the power of hard skills earlier.

When he saw the snow lotus in Liu Yiyi's hand, his eyes instantly widened like copper bells, his face full of excited greed: "Heavenly Heart Ice Seed Lotus?!"

"Hahahahaha!!! Sure enough, my opportunity has come!!!"

Gu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, then tried his best to put on a seemingly kind smile, reaching out to Liu Yiyi:

"Come! Give it to me!"

"Xu Xu Shijie Yiyi, run!" Wang Siyi exclaimed, Liu Yiyi immediately understood, and the two turned and ran without hesitation.

Both had seen Gu Yang charging back and forth in the chaotic battle, knowing that this person in front of them could not be resisted. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
