#152 - Chapter 152: Yuanying Fruit

Hearing the words of the Chu princess, your eyes narrowed. You vaguely understood the deeper meaning behind her words, but you weren't entirely sure. After all, if the deeper meaning of the Chu princess's words was really what you thought, then this woman was quite interesting.

Thinking this, you used voice transmission again, wanting to ask her ultimate goal. The Chu princess replied with a location, Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, Courtyard Number Nine. This was a pavilion courtyard. The Chu princess told you that she had important matters to discuss there. You listened, pondered slowly for a while, and then nodded.

Of course, you didn't immediately go to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion for the appointment. You first searched all the storage bags of the four Immortal Palace generals, and then went directly to the four generals' lair in the city. These four Immortal Palace generals had stayed in the Eighth City of the Human Race for so long, they must have a lot of good treasures. After all, these four were considered a top force in the Eighth City, and they were also subordinates of the Fourth Prince. Lin Changqing estimated that these four generals had obtained a lot of the opportunities in the Eighth City, so he went straight to their lair.

Three minutes later, you arrived at an ancient mansion. The ancient mansion was square, with the plaque above reading 'Immortal Palace Mansion.' You had learned from some other cultivators that the four Immortal Palace generals usually lived here in the Eighth City. This Immortal Palace Mansion was the four generals' lair in the Eighth City.

You directly pushed the door open and entered, then used your spiritual sense to search. After a moment, you found a large pile of spiritual energy-rich items in the most central house. You determined that this was the treasure trove that the four generals had placed here. You went directly inside, and with a bang, it turned out that this house had restrictions. Two minutes later, you broke the restrictions and successfully entered the house.

As soon as you entered, you exclaimed, 'Good heavens!' Everywhere you looked were all kinds of treasures filled with spiritual energy. On the left side of the treasure trove were many spiritual weapons, magical instruments, and magic treasures, and on the right were spiritual medicines. In the very center, you saw a golden fruit.

The golden fruit was a Nascent Soul Fruit, the most top-tier opportunity in the Eighth City. After taking it, one could unconditionally break through from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Moreover, it was rumored that the Nascent Soul Fruit was planted by some immortals in ancient times, containing some immortal powers. After taking it, one could randomly obtain an immortal divine power. Seeing this fruit, you were overjoyed. This was exactly what you needed.

You are now at the third level of the Nascent Soul realm. Breaking through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm is not as simple as breaking through one level. From the third level to the fourth level, it is from the initial stage to the intermediate stage. Many cultivators are stuck here for a lifetime. You estimate that the difficulty of breaking through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm is more difficult than the difficulty of breaking through the first three levels combined. At a normal rate, you would have to cultivate for at least twenty or thirty years.

Now with this Nascent Soul Fruit, you can achieve it in an instant.

Without hesitation, you directly swallowed this golden fruit. A monstrous spiritual force entered your dantian. Two hours later, you absorbed all the golden spiritual force that the Nascent Soul Fruit had poured into your dantian. After absorbing it, the Nascent Soul in your dantian grew a little older, becoming seven or eight years old. This marked that you had broken through another level, reaching the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm. In addition, you also obtained a Nascent Soul divine power randomly gifted at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm: Golden Fruit Tree. This was another killing divine power.

The so-called Golden Fruit Tree is to summon a tree full of golden fruits with spiritual power. The fruits will automatically attack. When encountering an enemy, the golden fruits will automatically shoot out. Each fruit has a strike of the mid-Nascent Soul stage. An ordinary enemy can be destroyed by one fruit. This is considered a group attack skill.

"Not bad, as expected, killing people and stealing treasures in secret realms is the fastest way to advance," Lin Changqing nodded with satisfaction. It had only been this long, and he had already improved his realm again, reaching the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm. This speed was faster than riding a rocket.

In addition, he had obtained another divine power. He suddenly felt that the Fourth Prince's subordinates were treasure-giving boys to him.

Whenever the Fourth Prince's subordinates came to make trouble for him, afterwards he would either improve his realm or obtain divine powers.

Wouldn't you say they are wealth-giving boys?

Two minutes later, you put all the treasures that the four generals had collected in this house into your storage bag, and then walked out of the house towards the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Of course, you didn't forget your appointment with the Chu princess. You wanted to know what important matters this woman wanted to discuss with you. In addition, this princess was really unexpected. As the Fourth Prince's fiancée, she actually gave you a break during this battle. You vaguely knew what she was thinking, so you wanted to confirm her purpose in this conversation.

Ten minutes later, you arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and then walked into Courtyard Number Nine. Courtyard Number Nine was an antique courtyard. The Chu princess was sitting in the very center of the courtyard. In front of her was a tea table engraved with lotus seals. She was wearing a red dress, peerless and beautiful, and was stretching out her fair hand, putting tea leaves into the teacup and slowly brewing tea, with an indescribable elegant temperament.

You saw the tea leaves that the Chu princess put into the teacup, and you thought, 'Good heavens, this is actually an extremely rare heavenly treasure, Ten Thousand Water Tea Leaves.' This Chu princess is generous, actually willing to use these things to entertain.

"Young Master Lin, please sit down." Seeing Lin Changqing coming in, the Chu princess poured a cup of tea and placed it on the opposite side of the table, signaling Lin Changqing to sit down.

Lin Changqing did not hesitate and sat down opposite the table in a carefree manner, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Not bad, good tea." Lin Changqing raised his cup and drank the tea in one gulp. These tea leaves were indeed worthy of being called Ten Thousand Water Tea Leaves. After drinking it, he actually felt his lifespan slowly increasing. Good stuff!

"Young Master Lin, it's good that you like to drink it." The Chu princess smiled, and seeing Lin Changqing finish drinking, she poured another cup of tea and placed it next to Lin Changqing's hand.

"By the way, Princess, you said that you gave me a break today in order to save Chu. I'm really a bit puzzled." Lin Changqing took another small sip of tea and said, "I am the Fourth Prince's great enemy, yet Your Highness, as the Fourth Prince's fiancée, gave me a break in the battle. I really don't understand."

"Young Master Lin is very smart, and must know what I mean by saving Chu. There's no need for the two of us to pretend to be confused." The Chu princess said with a faint smile, "It's true that I am the Fourth Prince's fiancée, but I am also the princess of Chu. If I didn't give you a break and killed you in the battle today, it would certainly be beneficial to the Fourth Prince, but it would be detrimental to my Chu. No matter what, with your existence, perhaps your Wu Kingdom will have a good internal strife in the future, which will be beneficial to my Chu. If I kill you, the Fourth Prince will have no opponents. When he ascends the throne in the future and unifies the seven kingdoms, the destruction of Chu will be unavoidable." Saying this, the Chu princess sighed faintly, seemingly feeling sad about the future fate of national subjugation.

"So Your Highness gave me a break because you wanted me and the Fourth Prince to have internal strife." Lin Changqing shook his head and chuckled, "I think it's not just that. If Your Highness's purpose was only this, you wouldn't have specially invited me to come here today. Your Highness, if you have any important matters, please say it as soon as possible. Let's be frank!"
