Chapter 223 Yuanling Fruit

Where the two collided, a brilliant light burst out, as if invisible energy was stirring.

The giant rhino and the flying tiger were each repelled several steps, but they did not give up, but quickly adjusted their posture and rushed towards each other again.

This battle was not only a contest of strength and speed, but also a contest of wisdom and will.

Fang Yue watched intently, his heart was full of shock. He had never seen such a powerful monster, let alone such a fierce battle.

Every collision and every swing of the claws made him feel palpitations.

He knew that such a battle was a rare opportunity for him to observe. He could learn a lot from it, whether it was fighting skills or mental adjustment.

Therefore, he observed every detail with full concentration, trying to remember it all in his heart.

As time went on, the battle entered the decisive moment.

The giant rhino and the flying tiger had already tensed their nerves and were ready to launch the final attack. They knew that this attack would determine the outcome and the ownership of this piece of land.

At this moment, the whole valley seemed to solidify. The wind whistled, the grass and trees swayed, and all the sounds disappeared, leaving only the breathing of the two monsters.

Suddenly, the giant rhino roared, and all its strength was concentrated on its horn, rushing towards the flying tiger.

This was an unreserved attack, and the giant rhino pinned all its hopes on this attack.

The flying tiger's eyes flashed with cold light. It knew that this was a desperate attack from the giant rhino, and it had to go all out to deal with it.

So, it also launched a final attack, with its wings spread out, like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, heading towards the giant rhino's horn.

"Boom!"

The attacks of the two collided in the air, and a loud noise shook the earth.

A powerful energy wave spread out from the collision point to the surroundings, and wherever it passed, rocks collapsed and trees broke.

Then, a violent gust of wind came, blowing Fang Yue's clothes.

He looked up and saw that the giant rhino and the flying tiger fell on both sides of the valley, with scars all over their bodies, and they were obviously seriously injured.

But they did not give up and wanted to continue struggling to attack each other. But it was obvious that both sides were injured now.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he knew that his chance had come.

He walked forward slowly, trying not to make any sound, so as not to alarm the two injured monsters.

As he kept getting closer, he could clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from the giant rhino and the flying tiger.

Although they were seriously injured, the innate majesty and power still made Fang Yue feel frightened.

If these two monsters were intact, their strength would not be weak, and they might be comparable to the shape-changing warriors.

As he got closer to the valley, Fang Yue suddenly stopped and felt a more mysterious and profound aura.

This aura did not come from the giant rhino and the flying tiger, but from the depths of the valley. It was like an invisible silk thread, gently pulling Fang Yue's mind and guiding him to an unknown place.

Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow the guidance of this aura. Hiding his body, he quietly avoided the two monsters and entered the valley.

As Fang Yue went deeper, the surrounding scenery began to change subtly. The originally desolate valley gradually showed vitality, with lush vegetation, birds singing and flowers blooming.

There was a fresh breath in the air, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a little curious and expectant.

What exactly is this breath?

Could it be some kind of natural treasure, or a magic weapon?

Finally, after passing through a dense forest, Fang Yue came to a quiet valley. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a paradise. And in the center of the valley, there is a towering ancient tree.

This ancient tree is tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves. Its trunk is covered with traces of time, as if it has witnessed countless vicissitudes of life. And above the crown of the ancient tree, there is a crystal clear fruit hanging.

This fruit emits a faint light and blends into the surrounding environment. It was as dazzling as a star, and Fang Yue was attracted by it at first sight.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he knew that this fruit was not an ordinary thing. He walked forward slowly, ready to pick this mysterious fruit.

However, just when he was about to touch the fruit, a strong breath suddenly burst out from the ancient tree.

Fang Yue only felt a huge force pushing him away fiercely, and the whole person flew out in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.

He was shocked and quickly got up and looked at the ancient tree. The fruit on the ancient tree had disappeared, replaced by a mysterious creature emitting golden light.

This creature looks like an ape, but its whole body is covered with golden hair. Its eyes are bright and energetic, as if it can see through all illusions.

Fang Yue's heart trembled, he knew that this creature was not an ordinary person. He guessed that this fruit might be the guardian of this creature, and he picked it rashly and angered it.

Sure enough, the golden monkey let out a deafening roar, and then pounced on Fang Yue.

"Sure enough, this spiritual fruit actually has a guardian spiritual beast, and the two monsters outside are just here to fight for the fruit!"

Fang Yue paused slightly, and immediately understood.

However, the strength of this spiritual monkey is about the same as that of a congenital master, and it is not his opponent.

A glimmer of calmness flashed across Fang Yue's eyes, and his body reacted quickly. He knew that he could not be careless in the face of this golden ape.

Although its strength might only be equivalent to that of an innate master, there are often many unpredictable factors in the battle between spirit beasts.

The ape roared, its golden hair flashing dazzlingly in the sun, its attacks were swift and fierce, and each attack seemed to contain powerful power.

Fang Yue's figure was like the wind, and he cleverly dodged the ape's attack.

He was not in a hurry to counterattack, but was looking for the ape's flaws.

He knew that in the face of such a spirit beast, only by finding its weakness could he win in one fell swoop.

After several rounds, Fang Yue had a general understanding of the ape's attack mode.

He found that although the ape was powerful, its attack method was relatively single and lacked changes.

So Fang Yue decided to take the initiative to attack. He moved his body and rushed towards the ape like a flash of lightning.

He clenched his right fist and smashed it into the ape's chest with the force of thunder.

A trace of panic flashed in the monkey's eyes, but it was an innate spiritual beast after all, with rich combat experience.

It immediately took a defensive posture and used its hard skin to block Fang Yue's straight punch.

"Bang", Fang Yue's punch hit the monkey's chest, making a muffled sound.

The monkey's body shook violently, staggered back a few steps, and spit out a small mouthful of blood from its mouth, looking very embarrassed.

"Ah--"

The monkey roared in pain, looked at Fang Yue with great anger, and rushed towards Fang Yue with its teeth and claws bared.

The speed of this monkey was not very fast. Fang Yue slapped the monkey on the head and knocked it to the ground again.

"Pah", the monkey fell to the ground and could no longer get up.

Fang Yue ignored the monkey and walked straight to the ancient tree, reaching out to pick the fruit on it.

The fruit was oval in shape, with a golden luster on the surface, and it was known to be of extraordinary quality at a glance.

After Fang Yue carefully examined the fruit, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "I finally did not come here in vain. This is indeed the legendary Yuanling Fruit!"

The Yuanling Fruit is an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth. It is said to be condensed from the pure essence of Yuanling.

Taking the Yuanling Fruit can greatly improve the cultivation of warriors, and even has a certain chance of helping warriors break through the bottleneck. For Fang Yue, it is not so urgent.

Because his current cultivation has reached a bottleneck, if he wants to improve, he must obtain four different attributes of Yuanqi.

This spiritual fruit alone cannot help him break through the bottleneck.

However, this spiritual fruit is extraordinary after all. Whether it is sold or taken by oneself in the future, it will be of great use.

Fang Yue carefully put the Yuanling Fruit into his pocket, and then turned to look at the golden ape lying on the ground.

The ape has lost its fighting power, but it still stares at Fang Yue with anger and unwillingness, as if questioning why he took away its guardian.

Fang Yue frowned slightly. He was not a person who liked to kill innocent people. But looking at the appearance of the spirit monkey, it was obvious that he hated him deeply.

Moreover, Fang Yue also needed something from this monkey.

He walked to the monkey and carefully observed its injuries. Then, he stretched out his palm and gently pressed a few times on the monkey's body.

The monkey's body trembled slightly, and then it completely lost its life.

Fang Yue took a few golden hairs and some special materials from the monkey. These things are very useful to him, and can be used to refine some special pills and utensils.

After doing all this, Fang Yue was ready to leave the valley.

However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a strong breath approaching here quickly.

Fang Yue was startled, he knew that someone was coming. Moreover, judging from this breath, the strength of the person coming was definitely not weak.

He quickly hid his figure and breath, and then hid aside and waited quietly.

After a while, an old man in a black robe appeared in the valley. He looked a little old, but his eyes were shining with sharp light.

The old man looked around, as if looking for something. When his eyes fell on the place where Fang Yue was hiding, he paused slightly.

Fang Yue's heart tightened, but he knew that he could not act rashly. Once his position was exposed, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

The old man did not find Fang Yue's trace. After turning around in the valley, he left disappointed.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that he was able to escape this time, entirely relying on luck and caution.

He did not dare to stay any longer and left the valley immediately. He needed to find a safe place as soon as possible to dispose of his harvest this time.

~~~~~~~~

After Fang Yue left the valley, he quickly found a hidden cave in the surrounding mountains and forests as his temporary hiding place.

He knew that the materials of the Yuanling Fruit and the golden ape he obtained this time were extremely precious things.

And that place was obviously targeted by someone early, and he was the first to get there and robbed others of their things.

Therefore, he had to handle these harvests carefully.

First, he took out the Yuanling fruit and observed it carefully.

The Yuanling fruit exuded a faint fragrance, and the skin shone with a golden luster, as if it contained infinite spiritual energy.

Fang Yue knew that although this Yuanling fruit could not directly improve his cultivation, it could be used to refine some special pills or as an auxiliary item for breaking through bottlenecks in the future.

Therefore, he decided to keep the Yuanling fruit first and wait for a chance to slowly study its use in the future.

Next, Fang Yue began to process the materials of the golden ape.

The golden hair and some special organs he took from the ape contained powerful energy and spirituality.

These materials have irreplaceable roles in refining pills and tools.

Although Fang Yue was not proficient in alchemy and refining tools, he knew the value of these things.

He decided to sort these materials first and find someone to help refine them when he had a chance in the future.

Or, he could directly use these materials to exchange for other things he needed.

After processing these gains, Fang Yue began to practice. He knew that although he got some good things this time, strength was the most important.

Only by constantly improving his strength can he better protect himself and the people around him.

At the same time, he also needs to break through the current bottleneck of cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise no matter how many natural treasures there are, they will not be able to play their due value.

Fang Yue sat cross-legged in the cave, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to circulate the vitality in his body.

As he practiced, the surrounding heaven and earth vitality began to slowly gather and was absorbed into his body for refining.

Although his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, he cannot stop practicing. He needs to constantly accumulate vitality and experience to prepare for future breakthroughs.

As time passed, Fang Yue's cultivation was also steadily improving. Although the speed was not fast, every step was very solid.

He knew that the road of cultivation could not be rushed, and only steady progress could go further.

During the time he practiced, a lot of things happened in the outside world.

The old man in black robe did not give up looking for Fang Yue's traces. He had been searching in the nearby mountains and forests.

However, Fang Yue had left the valley long ago, and his concealment method was also very clever, so the old man did not find any clues.

Finally, half a month later, Fang Yue walked out of the cave and went to the town where he lived before.

Fang Yue's figure shuttled quickly through the forest, like a nimble cheetah.

Soon he left the forest and returned to the town.

After replenishing some supplies here, Fang Yue spent money to find a car dealership and followed the car dealership to the nearby Liangzhou Prefecture.

The reason why he did not travel alone was to hide his tracks.

Mixing in with ordinary people would not attract too much attention and could conceal his existence. (End of this chapter)
