Chapter 1093: Secondary Growth

The situation was as Xu Que had imagined, surprisingly smooth!

With one heart demon oath, he tricked the eight Bilin Fruits into his hands, and in order not to let the middle-aged man suspect, Xu Que also took the woman away.

Until the two left, the middle-aged man's face gradually turned cold.

Another man was full of anger: "Brother, why let that cheap woman go? She treated you like this, and you still won't kill her?"

"Hehe, you're thinking too much. Compared to venting anger and a woman, those two half-grade immortal artifacts are the most important! After we get the immortal artifacts, there will be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts with them!" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, licked his dry lips, and said with a cold smile.

However, they never expected that they had only flown less than a few hundred miles away from this mountain when they received a piece of news that left them dumbfounded.

Zhan Gaoli had already died a few days ago, and someone was impersonating Zhan Gaoli's appearance and entered the Wasteland Region!

"Damn!" The middle-aged man was instantly furious, almost going crazy.

The other man was trembling with anger, unable to speak.

No matter how stupid the two of them were, they already knew they had been deceived. The person who took away the Bilin Fruits was definitely a fake Zhan Gaoli!

Since it was a fake Zhan Gaoli, then he swore a heart demon oath in the name of Zhan Gaoli, which naturally had no effect!

"Bastard, I will definitely not let him go!"

The middle-aged man roared in rage, turned around, and rushed in another direction.

Meanwhile, far away in another direction, Xu Que was already flying on the Wind Fire Wheels with a full harvest!

Originally, he wanted to inquire about the middle-aged man's identity from the woman, but halfway through, he encountered a pursuit. A group of people from the Zhan family discovered him and directly chased after him.

Xu Que's disguised identity was exposed on the spot, so he didn't say a word, turned around and ran, leaving the young woman standing in place in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

However, in this Wasteland Region, there were no Heavenly Immortal Stage or above experts, so if Xu Que wanted to run, no one could catch him.

Originally, he could also choose to behead the other party, but he didn't do so.

On one hand, he felt it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, he wasn't sure how many people they had sent. In case there were more Earth Immortal Stage experts nearby, once they surrounded him, he wouldn't have the advantage, and might even be in danger! 【1093-2

Although he was now at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm and his strength was not what it used to be, he would still have to run if he faced dozens of Earth Immortal Realm experts at once.

After all, this was an encounter battle, far different from dealing with the Artifact Sect branch; he didn't have that much time to set up a trapping array and six-colored fire lotuses!

So, it was better to be safe. In any case, running away first and coming back to kill them later after refining all the Bilin Fruits and increasing his cultivation realm again would not be too late.

Thus, Xu Que flew aimlessly through the Huang Yu. Once he found a place he was certain was safe, he immediately used an Immortal-grade Disguise Puppet to change into a new identity.

Afterward, he hurried thousands of miles away, found a hidden spot, set up a barrier, and took out the eight Bilin Fruits.

"Hehe, my luck is truly heaven-defying. I managed to get these eight spirit fruits just by scamming and swindling. If I can't break through to the Earth Immortal Realm this time, I'll livestream myself eating shit!" Xu Que was full of confidence, believing that with his aptitude, these eight spirit fruits were absolutely enough to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Of course, for an ordinary cultivator at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm, just two Bilin Fruits would be enough to step into the Earth Immortal Realm. But Xu Que was different; he possessed five Heavenly Spirit Roots, and his demand for Immortal Yuan was several times that of an ordinary person, so he felt these eight Bilin Fruits should be just right!

However, just as Xu Que sat cross-legged and prepared to consume the Bilin Fruits for refining, a soft sound suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Detected abnormal movement in the host's dantian. The Chaos Green Lotus seed is about to enter its second growth phase. Please prepare in advance," the system prompt sounded.

Following that, a loud "Boom" erupted from within his body. The Immortal Yuan in his entire dantian, which was like a vast ocean, instantly burst its banks, surging wildly for thousands of miles and crazily pouring into the Green Lotus seed that had just sprouted!

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Yuan in Xu Que's body was drained clean, and he was reduced to a weakling with no cultivation at all!

"Holy shit!"

Xu Que was dumbfounded on the spot.

What was going on?

At a critical moment like this, this Green Lotus seed was making trouble again?

Second growth phase? Grow your sister! Give me back my Immortal Yuan, damn you!

However, regardless of whether Xu Que was willing or not, he couldn't snatch the Immortal Yuan back from the Green Lotus seed.

Even though he activated the system's automatic recovery function in time, every bit of Immortal Yuan recovered was immediately absorbed by the Green Lotus seed, leaving absolutely nothing behind.

Now, there really wasn't a single drop of Immortal Yuan left in his body. He was like a fully-geared mage who had many powerful spells but not a single bit of mana. Even his King of Acting Cool Fist and King of Acting Cool Leg relied on Acting Cool Points to function, but the prerequisite for using them was still relying on Immortal Yuan to drive them!

"It's over. This damn Green Lotus seed must have taken a fancy to my Bilin Fruits. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? It didn't come early or late, but chose now to have a second growth phase!" Xu Que's face collapsed, feeling incredibly pained.

The Green Lotus seed needed a massive amount of Immortal Yuan, and he had these eight Bilin Fruits on hand, which could completely solve the problem.

But he had wanted to rely on these Bilin Fruits to charge into the Earth Immortal Realm and soar to the sky. Giving them to the Green Lotus seed like this made him feel truly unwilling.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Xu Que never thought he would one day become the mantis!

"No, even if I spend more Acting Cool Points to buy pills, I can't waste the Bilin Fruits!"

Xu Que gritted his teeth and directly exchanged for pills from the system mall!

But the pills from the system mall were quite effective when he was at the Half-Immortal Realm, but now that he was at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm, Xu Que didn't know what the effect would be.

More importantly, when the Green Lotus seed first demanded energy, he had consumed at least several thousand pills. Now that the Green Lotus seed was undergoing its second growth phase, Xu Que believed the Immortal Yuan required would only be more, not less!

Finally, seven days passed.

Xu Que had spent hundreds of thousands of Acting Cool Points to exchange for over ten thousand pills and consumed them all, but the Immortal Yuan produced couldn't satisfy the Green Lotus seed at all. He even felt that the Immortal Yuan from these ten thousand pills couldn't satisfy even one percent of what the Green Lotus seed needed!

Although he had quite a few Spirit Crystals on him besides the pills, which could provide a lot of spiritual energy, after consuming those ten thousand pills, Xu Que believed the spiritual energy from all his Spirit Crystals combined was still not worth mentioning in front of the Green Lotus seed—just a drop in the bucket.

"Ah, screw it! Fine, you're awesome. Just you wait, one day I'll boil you myself!"

In the end, after a struggle of conscience, Xu Que decided to take out the Bilin Fruits to supplement the Green Lotus seed.

After all, he couldn't contend with this Green Lotus seed. If he didn't satisfy it, he would remain stuck in this awkward situation with no Immortal Yuan to use. It was better to go all out, feed the Green Lotus seed, and then go for a stroll in the Huang Yu to see if he could find more Bilin Fruits!

"Whoosh!"

Thinking of this, Xu Que acted immediately without wasting time. He grabbed a Bilin Fruit and threw it directly into his mouth.
