Please assist the one responsible for the calamity within your capabilities, in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Li Jing could reply, he continued seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before that, I hope you, Master Li, can guide the one responsible for the calamity to face his destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helping the one in charge of the calamity when necessary is the right thing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the one who can normally break the heavenly calamity is precisely the one in charge of the calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although since he has his own world, he can take everyone in Chen Tang City and leave at any time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a hundred years, Chen Tang City has finally grown to its current status, he doesn’t want the Immortal Realm to suddenly end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Xiaoyao Zi seeks, guiding the one in charge of the calamity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is quite difficult to be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one in charge of the calamity might not know the destiny they need to face, and even if they do, they might not want to confront it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a world-wary master, who wished for everything to be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There really was such a person recorded in the scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite coincidentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person facing the tribulation came from the Ancient Fairyland, which had been destroyed twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was not explicitly recorded in the scriptures as to why he gave up his treatment, if he had stepped forward back then, perhaps there wouldn’t have been Charming Spirit making a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Charming Spirit didn’t intervene, then the Ancient Fairyland wouldn’t have been destroyed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing slightly swayed the wine glass in his hand and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to speak, Xiaoyao Zi was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The methods to awaken the Human Saint in the present world can be counted on one hand. You should have understood the difficulty in reversing Dao injury caused by Taoist backlash over the years,\" Xiaoyao Zi said, then stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing blinked his eyes, waved his hand, and gently poked the belly of Xiaocai, who was curled up and sleeping sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai immediately let out a cry, unconsciously wrapped around Li Jing’s fingers, and sleepily opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing, Xiaocai tilted her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She noticed Xiaoyao Zi sitting across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing him, she immediately showed a slightly disgusted expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Jing spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five of the Hundred Year Fruits should be enough to save his life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xiaocai’s eyes lit up and she quickly turned her head, raising both her tiny hands and spreading all five fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven at most, can’t be more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing casually responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal! It’s a deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai eagerly agreed, fearing that he would change his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hundred Year Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a unique spirit fruit produced after several evolutions of the Little Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name \"Hundred Year\" wasn’t because it bore fruit every hundred years, but because an ordinary creature could extend its lifespan by a hundred years after eating one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it only worked once, an extra hundred years of life for any living being not involved in cultivation was more than rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living for an extra hundred years meant more opportunities for them to get involved in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The birth of the Hundred Year Fruit was somewhat related to the Zhenyuan Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its birthplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was near the lakeside island, the position where the Zhenyuan Tower used to be before Li Jing took it into the Little Universe and harvested the Taoist Origin Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the location was clearly marked, it was easy to make the connection. Li Jing had Xia’ai reproduce the scene from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, a Taoist Origin Fruit had cracked a little at the top and some juice fell into the ground, blending into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong effects of the Taoist Origin Fruit had altered the soil and left some influence behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Hundred Year Fruit was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides extending life, the Hundred Year Fruit was also very delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original spirit of the greedy bug, Xiaocai, loved it. Even Li Jing liked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taste of the Hundred Year Fruit was unparalleled. It couldn’t be compared with any other edible spirit fruit that Li Jing could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since only a small area produced it and the Hundred Year Fruit itself had great medicinal value, Li Jing gave most of it to Xiang Yunxian to develop medicine recipes. A small part was stored for necessary usage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extra hundred years of life meant nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for ordinary people, it was undoubtedly an invaluable treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping some for backup was better than not having any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving this aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with Xiaocai, Li Jing lifted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiaoyao Zi nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two shared a tacit understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyao Zi didn’t want the Immortal Realm to be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To convince Li Jing, he had already prepared \"valuable information\" for trading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it involved the Human Saint, this was not something that could be casually disclosed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing had a hard fate pattern that could not be easily calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint’s fate wasn’t inflexible, was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a look from Xiaoyao Zi that suggested Xiaocai held his fate, He quickly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only path I can show you is one that most likely leads to success. There’s a primordial heavenly treasure capable of desolation somewhere in the Immortal Realm. Because it’s been neglected for too long, it has affected a small area, causing the emergence of many strange spiritual objects.
