Chapter 584: Seeking Good Things

They watched in terror as their companions were defeated, finally realizing they had underestimated Lu Yuan and his group's strength.

The members of the Black-clad Shadow Sect stared in shock at Lu Yuan; they feared not only his superb martial skill but also the name of the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Under the intimidation of Lu Yuan and his group, the remaining Shadow Sect members all chose to surrender.

They realized continuing the battle offered no chance of victory.

Lu Yuan and his companions tightly watched the enemies leave Cloudsoaring Valley.

Inside Cloudsoaring Valley, the aftermath of the battle still lingered.

The surrounding trees were still burning; the Shadow Sect members shattered by the Thunderfire Sword and Dragon Breath lay on the ground, looking even more miserable amid the chaos. After the battle, everyone set out on the road leaving Cloudsoaring Valley, heading toward Xinan.

Their destination was the Spirit Spring Mountain Range, a place hailed as a paradise for cultivators.

Su Liyan excitedly said, "Coming to the Spirit Spring Mountain Range was the right choice."

"Here abundant rare medicinal herbs and Spirit Spring Crystals are produced, greatly helping our cultivation and elixir making."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Exactly!"

"This plan won't waste our previous efforts."

Zi Xi'er pondered how to better utilize this resource-rich land.

"We need to properly plan our course of action."

"After all, the Spirit Spring Mountain Range is vast and complex, with medicinal herbs and crystals constantly changing."

Lu Yuan said after careful thought, "We can split up, each searching within a certain range."

"At the same time, we must also watch out to help and protect each other."

After discussion, they entered the Spirit Spring Mountain Range.

A lush green forest stretched out, filled with the air of eternal spring.

They remained vigilant at all times, searching every corner that might hide precious resources.

A pungent floral scent wafted over; Zi Xi'er stopped to examine closely, saying, "Here grows a Purple Rosy Flower, one of the top-grade medicinal herbs."

Su Liyan's eyes sparkled with delight: "This Purple Rosy Flower can indeed be used to make elixirs!"

"If we could gather enough of them…"

"Exactly!"

Mo Di suddenly recalled something: "The Condensing Heart Jade of the Huá Clan legend is located somewhere in the Spirit Spring Mountain Range."

"If we find it, it will greatly aid our cultivation and strength."

Lu Yuan could not hide his anticipation: "Then we must find it as soon as possible."

"Our strength is already growing, but to stand firm in this world of cultivation we still need more nourishment."

Everyone was instantly inspired by the burning yearning rising in their hearts; they relied on each other, facing together the exploration and challenges of the Spirit Spring Mountain Range.

As they traversed the vast mountain range, their gaze continually scanned the surroundings.

Birds sang cheerfully; the wind brought fresh air. As they explored the Spirit Spring Mountain Range, they finally reached the edge of a hidden pool.

Beside the pool, three huge trees rose tall, blocking sunlight and forming a cool, shaded environment.

Lu Yuan curiously surveyed the pool, a hint of surprise rising in his heart.

He discovered a strange fruit growing beside the pool that he had never seen before.

"What is this?" he asked in astonishment.

Su Liyan approached the fruit and examined it closely.

"This should be the legendary Exquisite Fruit."

"It is said to provide cultivators with immense energy and strength."

Zi Xi'er also joined the observation: "We cannot miss this opportunity."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow in thought: "How should we collect these Exquisite Fruits?"

Su Liyan excitedly said: "I can freeze them with my Ice Immortal Art and preserve them in ice."

Zi Xi'er also chimed in: "I can use the treasure Cold Jade Ice Slice to empower your Ice Immortal Art."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Then it's settled."

"Let's start collecting."

Everyone sprang into action: Lu Yuan used his immortal method to freeze the fruits into ice blocks; Su Liyan placed the ice blocks into her storage bag and used the treasure to enhance their preservation.

When they first consumed these Exquisite Fruits, they immediately felt an unprecedented power.

Powerful energy surged within Lu Yuan, making him feel as if he could command the whole world.

Su Liyan's body was enveloped by a chill; the power of her Ice Immortal Art circulated around her, making her ice techniques more refined and strong.

Zi Xi'er recognized the importance of these fruits for the entire team.

"Let each of us take one Exquisite Fruit per day and gather the rest."

"This will not only boost our own strength but also provide more aid to the team."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Exactly!"

"We must make good use of every resource to improve ourselves as quickly as possible."

They continued exploring the Spirit Spring Mountain Range, advancing through a dense forest.

As they passed through the thick foliage, a more magnificent, vigorous Exquisite Fruit Tree appeared before their eyes.

The tree bore countless crystal-clear Exquisite Fruits that sparkled like gemstones, as if the branches were hung with miraculous treasures.

Everyone's eyes lit up involuntarily.

Su Liyan excitedly said: "This is truly wonderful!"

"The energy of these fruits must be stronger than those nearby."

Zi Xi'er pondered how to fairly distribute these precious resources, suggesting: "I propose we each pick only two Exquisite Fruits each time."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, "Good idea."

"This way we can ensure we have sufficient reserves while also avoiding over-reliance on this resource."

Everyone began picking the fruits, carefully collecting them into their storage bags.

When they consumed these fruits, they once again felt a powerful surge of energy entering their bodies.

Lu Yuan felt as if he stood at the pinnacle of the world, his mastery over his body and immortal arts becoming more effortless.

Su Liyan was surrounded by ice crystal power; her skill in ice-element immortal arts grew more refined, and the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand became more agile and precise.

Zi Xi'er could also feel her strength continually growing; she suddenly recalled her clan's expectations and their trust in her.

"We will use these strange fruits to win greater glory for the Ziyun Clan."

Everyone encouraged each other, understanding that the power from these delicate fruits could help them gain a firmer foothold in the cultivation world. Everyone hurriedly left the Spirit Spring Mountain Range and continued onward.

They entered a dense forest, all around gloomy.

Lu Yuan's keen senses detected something amiss; he suddenly halted his steps, signaling everyone to stay still.

Su Liyan also sensed the anomaly, warily scanning her surroundings.

Suddenly, a group of black-clad disciples of the Netherworld Sect emerged from the forest, sneering as they surrounded Lu Yuan and the others. (End of chapter)
