Chapter 313: Ninth Prince: Why hit me and not him?

"Fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist!"

"Stop!"

"Let's talk things over!"

Seeing He Pingsheng take out another Thunder-Crush Talisman, the giant dragon, already severely injured in the water, suddenly spoke.

What surprised He Pingsheng was that this guy could actually speak human language?

"You can speak?"

He Pingsheng held the talisman in his hand; although he didn't activate it, he dared not be careless.

His spiritual sense expanded, locking onto the giant dragon at all times.

Once the opponent made a move, he would activate the third-tier talisman.

If the opponent was easy to talk to, then this third-tier talisman could be saved.

"Yes!" The giant dragon said: "Fellow Daoist, you do not know that after we demonic beasts enter the path of cultivation, we can develop intelligence; at the Qi Condensation stage, we can understand human speech, at the Foundation Establishment stage, we can communicate with human cultivators using spiritual sense, and at the Golden Core stage, we can speak human language!"

"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, some demonic beasts can transform into human form!"

This indeed hit He Pingsheng's blind spot of knowledge; he really didn't know.

"Fellow Daoist is powerful, the most formidable Foundation Establishment cultivator I have ever seen!" The giant dragon continued: "How about this, since you want this fruit, let's split the three fruits between the two of us!"

"You take two, and leave one for me, how about that?"

The giant dragon said: "I won't hide it from you, Fellow Daoist, I am currently comprehending a lightning divine ability and need this Split-Origin Thunder Fruit to complete the final transformation!"

"I hope Fellow Daoist can fulfill this!"

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "That is fine!"

Being able to get the item without consuming a third-tier talisman, that is naturally the best.

As for three fruits or two?

For He Pingsheng, it doesn't mean much.

If I give it two, I can still use the Treasure-Gathering Basin to strengthen it into four.

And for refining the 【Break-Transformation Elixir】, I don't need that many.

"When I take the fruit, you cannot launch an attack again!" He Pingsheng warned the giant dragon: "Otherwise, even if I can't kill you, I can destroy this Split-Origin Thunder Fruit tree in an instant!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The giant dragon said: "Rest assured, when you take the fruit, I will lie at the bottom of the water!"

"As long as I make a move, you will definitely have time to react!"

The two reached a deal.

He Pingsheng still held the Thunder-Crush Talisman in his hand and leaped a few times toward the mountain crack.

"Giant Dragon Fellow Daoist, let me ask, have you always lived here?"

He Pingsheng asked this question out of pure curiosity.

The giant dragon said: "No, it was a long time ago; my master put me here!"

"Ah?"

He Pingsheng said: "You have a master? That was also a royal person?"

"Yes!" The giant dragon said: "But that was a long time ago; when he put me into this Mystic Realm, I was only a small Foundation Establishment demonic beast; calculating carefully, fifteen hundred years have passed, I am afraid my master has long since fallen!"

"Actually, it is not just me!"

The giant dragon continued: "In this Five-Dragon Gully, although the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth have long belonged to their respective owners, the Gold Dragon, Wood Dragon, Fire Dragon, etc., were all put in by royal people!"

"Just to add opportunities to this place!"

He Pingsheng was stunned.

So, this Mystic Realm was built by the royal family.

Of course, it cannot be said to be purely built, just that the royal family put in many things to increase the opportunities for low-tier disciples.

"Many thanks!" He Pingsheng bowed.

The giant dragon said: "Fellow Daoist, no need to thank me; I will give you another opportunity!"

"The Fire Dragon in the Fire-Dragon Gully is transformed from a fallen exotic-blood phoenix; it is said that after the phoenix nirvana, there is a phoenix egg gestating in the Fire Dragon, and now after many years of gestation, it is likely about to be reborn!"

"If Fellow Daoist can walk into the raging fire and obtain the phoenix egg, hehehe..."

The giant dragon did not continue, but smiled.

He Pingsheng said indifferently: "Many thanks!"

Whether this thing is true or false, and whether this giant dragon is digging a pit for himself, are all unknowns.

No need to believe it too much.

Of course, if there is an opportunity, one can go over and try.

"Fellow Daoist, please take the immortal fruit; this fruit actually has nothing special, just use a jade box to store it!"

Splash...

After speaking, the giant dragon really splashed into the water.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense expanded, naturally locking onto it, but if one is not specifically looking for it, it is really hard to find a giant dragon hidden at the bottom of the water.

Whew...

Everything is ready!

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then his body leaped again, landing in the mountain crack.

All his spiritual sense was used to lock onto the giant dragon.

When collecting the spiritual fruit, it was also the time when his defense was weakest; at this time, although the defense was weak, the monitoring must be in place.

He Pingsheng, while constantly staring at the giant dragon, took out a jade box and 'bang', opened it.

He separated a wisp of spiritual sense and placed it on the silver thunder fruit.

One fruit then detached from the tree and flew into the void.

"Collect..."

That fruit was collected by He Pingsheng's jade box.

During the process of collecting the Split-Origin Thunder Fruit, the giant dragon at the bottom of the water really did not move at all.

But He Pingsheng still would not relax his vigilance.

He still used his spiritual sense to lock onto the giant dragon while collecting the spiritual fruit.

The second fruit was collected into the jade box in the same way.

He Pingsheng is a person who keeps his word; after collecting two fruits, he really retreated and left the mountain crack.

The dragon at the bottom of the water breathed a sigh of relief when it saw this.

But just as He Pingsheng collected two fruits and landed on the cliff, a sudden change occurred.

Only to see a few leaps from afar, a man wearing moon-white Daoist robes landed squarely opposite He Pingsheng.

"Split-Origin Thunder Fruit?"

"Heavens, it's actually a mature Split-Origin Thunder Fruit!"

"Hehehe... luck is not bad!"

"Kid, I saw it just now, you took two, right?"

This person was none other than the Ninth Prince of the royal family.

Although he arrived after He Pingsheng had already put away the fruits, his spiritual sense had arrived long ago; the scene of He Pingsheng collecting two fruits was seen clearly by him.

"Correct!"

He Pingsheng admitted frankly: "Collected two!"

"Fine!" The Ninth Prince said: "You kid, don't leave, wait for me..."

"Wait for me to collect this fruit, then I will reason with you!"

The Ninth Prince's idea was very simple: three fruits, all mine.

How can the royal family's treasures fall into your hands?

As he spoke, he leaped again, heading toward that last thunder fruit.

As a result, he had just jumped half the distance.

Splash, the giant dragon came out of the water.

"Roar..." A giant roar accompanied a massive tail sweeping over, 'bang', directly sweeping the Ninth Prince away.

Fortunately, this Ninth Prince was indeed capable; at the critical moment, he activated his defense, so he was only spat a few mouthfuls of blood by the giant dragon's slap, and then he was sent to the cliff.

"Golden Core demonic beast?" The Ninth Prince wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Damn it..."

"You demonic beast are unreasonable; why did you ignore him when he took the fruit, but attack when I take the fruit?"
