#109 - Blood Fruit
The true disciple of the Great River Sword Sect is dead.
His body was cut in half by a sword of the human realm, blood splattering everywhere, a shocking sight!
Cough!
Jun Wuxie reverted to his original appearance, looked at the corpse before him, coughed up blood, his complexion rapidly turning from ruddy to pale.
"Wuxie…"
Qin Keqing hurriedly stepped forward to check his injuries.
"Who?"
Jun Wuxie's exhausted body suddenly straightened up, his eyes instantly as cold and sharp as knives, turning to look at a certain spot on the cliff.
Huh?
Qin Keqing was startled. There were still people nearby?
She followed his gaze.
On the cliff, under an ancient tree, a figure hurried away, seemingly flustered by their exposure.
"It's her!"
Jun Wuxie and Qin Keqing both recognized her. Although they didn't see her face, the clothes she wore were too distinctive.
This person was actually Mu Yang Qingya.
Why would she be here? Was it just a coincidence?
When did she arrive? Did she see the whole process?
"No, we can't let her run."
Qin Keqing was about to chase after her, but Jun Wuxie grabbed her, saying, "Don't bother chasing. The mountains and forests here are dense. If she wants to hide, it will be difficult to find her in a short time. We don't have time to waste with her."
"But, if she sees Nanshan's Certain-Victory King…"
"Whether I kill Wang Yao or not, encountering a madman like Nanshan's Certain-Victory King will lead to conflict. In this kind of secret realm, once there's a conflict, it basically means a fight to the death."
Jun Wuxie indicated that the most important thing now was to heal his injuries as soon as possible and then seek other opportunities.
He was very anxious. Where was the Phoenix Divine Gold? It was still unknown.
There were still many places in this secret world waiting to be explored.
The importance of the Divine Gold need not be said. It must not fall into the hands of others, or everyone would be finished.
He removed the Great River Sword Sect true disciple's ring and quickly left with Qin Keqing.
Dragging his injured body, he traveled over a hundred miles before finding a high ground with a wide field of vision and stopping to heal.
"Your injury is compounded. Do you want to take a Lesser Restoration Pill?"
Qin Keqing was very worried. Using that kind of swordsmanship while seriously injured would inevitably cause secondary damage to the body.
Jun Wuxie shook his head, indicating that he was fine and would recover soon.
He didn't want to waste a Lesser Restoration Pill.
He only had two in total, which were too precious.
This kind of pill should only be used in special circumstances.
Although he still had the Spring of Life, he really couldn't bear to use it.
A drop of the Spring of Life was priceless.
It was very quiet here. For half a day, they didn't see a single person.
He took a normal internal injury pill and refined and absorbed the medicinal energy.
In half a day, his powerful physique had repaired all the cracks in his internal organs, and he was radiant.
Qin Keqing was dumbfounded.
He only took a normal pill, and he recovered in just half a day. What kind of abnormal recovery ability was this?
"It's time to take stock of the spoils of war."
He was in a very good mood. This trip to the Nanshan Secret Realm had been fruitful.
It was only the first day, and he had already obtained a four-star superb Wind Thunder Fruit, a six-star high-grade battle armor, and so many spoils of war.
The three storage rings were filled with a dazzling array of various pills, spiritual weapons, spiritual essence, materials, etc., ranging in grade from two-star to three-star high-grade.
He had been worried for some time that he would need a large number of high-star spiritual weapons for future cultivation in order to break through quickly.
As a result, in just a few days, he had obtained more than a dozen spiritual weapons of no low grade. He expected that he would not be short of resources before reaching the Cave Heaven Realm.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was that Nanshan's Invincible Guest Wang Yao's storage ring didn't even have any spirit crystal stones, not even broken ones. There were none.
"Keqing, come and take a look. Pick a few pieces you like."
Qin Keqing smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't lack anything and told him to keep them for cultivation resources.
She knew that Jun Wuxie needed high-grade spiritual weapons when breaking through.
Jun Wuxie didn't force her.
Qin Keqing really didn't lack anything. Even without her parents, she was still the daughter of a major power. Her status was there.
They left side by side and continued forward.
It was still unclear how big this secret world was.
Jun Wuxie guessed that what he needed should be hidden in the deepest part, perhaps in the place where the owner of the secret realm had spent a long time.
"Should we go straight to the deepest part? This would save a lot of time. Others will probably look for opportunities along the way. But the best opportunities in this secret realm should be in the place where the owner of the secret realm used to live."
Jun Wuxie gave this suggestion because he was really worried.
Everything else was fine, but he was mainly worried about the purple-clothed woman and Xiao Tianming.
These two were not simple characters. If they saw the Phoenix Divine Gold, even if the owner of the secret realm had set up restrictions and tests, they would eventually be able to pass with their abilities.
He wasn't too worried about the others.
Take Nanshan's Invincible Guest Wang Yao, for example. The Eight Desolate Battle Armor was placed in front of him, but he was helpless. It would be difficult for him to obtain the armor on his own.
If there really was Phoenix Divine Gold, then the tests set by the owner of the secret realm would only be more perverted.
Qin Keqing agreed. Her purpose here was mainly to find spiritual essence to treat her incurable meridian disease.
Instead of wandering aimlessly, it was better to go straight to the core area.
Maybe there really was that kind of spiritual essence in the place where the owner of the secret realm had lived.
After the two discussed, they chose a direction and sped all the way.
Along the way, they saw several rune towers, which warriors from various forces were fighting over.
But they all bypassed them from afar.
Those things were relatively low-grade, at least far inferior to the Eight Desolate Battle Armor.
They were all four-star spiritual essences, which couldn't be used to extend Yue Yao's life.
Jun Wuxie didn't compete in order to save time.
Until dark, they didn't rest and traveled all night.
The next morning, they rested briefly, and when they were full of energy, they continued forward.
In this way, they traveled for several days in the secret realm.
They saw many rune towers, which people were fighting over, but they didn't participate.
On the fifth day, they saw a rune tower again.
However, this time, they didn't choose to leave but stopped.
This rune tower was built on a mountain several hundred meters high.
At the foot of the rune tower, more than a dozen people were gathered.
Each of them was a core or true disciple of various forces.
But these people were not fighting each other but were wary of each other.
"I didn't expect Nanshan's Certain-Victory King to be here, and Mu Yang Qingya!"
Jun Wuxie was a little surprised. With Mu Yang Qingya's cultivation, how could her speed be so fast?
She had actually walked ahead of him and Qin Keqing.
"The fruit tree inside the rune tower's barrier is extraordinary. It's full of fruits, and the grade must be high. Should we compete for it?"
Qin Keqing sought Jun Wuxie's opinion.
Now, they were a little far away and couldn't identify what kind of fruit was growing on the tree, let alone judge its grade.
But it could attract so many people, including at least five true disciples.
Even someone like Nanshan's Certain-Victory King was attracted, so one could imagine the grade and efficacy of the fruit.
"Let's get closer and take a look."
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he quietly moved forward.
They climbed the mountain and observed in secret from about a thousand meters away from the rune tower.
"That seems to be… a Bloodline Fruit!"
Qin Keqing was knowledgeable and finally recognized the fruit, a look of shock on her face.
"There are so many Bloodline Fruits! Four-star superb Bloodline Fruits usually only have two or three on a tree, but there are actually dozens here!"
Four-star superb?
Jun Wuxie's breathing was slightly rapid.
These days, they had given up competing for many spiritual essences.
Those were all four-star spiritual essences, but they were not superb.
Superb grade is hard to find in every star level!
Most of the superb spiritual essences are not simply resources for cultivating realms but have extremely special effects, and these special effects are their greatest value!
There are actually dozens of them here!
Listening to Qin Keqing's explanation, the Bloodline Fruit is a rare spiritual fruit that can stimulate a warrior's bloodline.
He couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.
Could this Bloodline Fruit stimulate his dormant Chaos Bloodline?
"We must participate in the competition. We must get at least a few!"
He said to Qin Keqing, his words firm and resolute.
