Wang Shouzhe was taken aback by this. Neither of these things were to be eaten casually. He immediately reprimanded, “Young miss, what did you eat in the mountains?”
“I, I don’t know. They were just some wild fruits.” Wang Licui was so frightened that her legs went soft, almost in tears, “In addition, I found a beautiful red fruit tree when I found Huahua. There was a red fruit that looked delicious on it…”
“So, you ate it?” Wang Shouzhe was weary for a moment, how could this young girl be so reckless? She dared to eat wild fruits she didn’t even know the name of?
“Huahua wouldn’t let me eat it, so we had a fight.” Wang Licui weakly said, “I couldn’t beat it, so I traded half a fruit for some small dried fish. I swear, I only ate half.”
Wang Shouzhe chuckled secretly, guessing that her “half” was likely more than that.
Standing nearby, Wang Xiaohan was also serious, “The red fruit tree was beautiful, bore flame-attribute fruits, and had only one fruit. Could it be, the Vermilion Fruit mentioned in the legends?”
Most likely so.” Old Ancestor Longyan solemnly responded, “The Vermilion Fruit is a high-level heaven and earth treasure, usually used as the main ingredient in refining Level Five Flame-attribute Spirit Pills. Young miss, you need to quickly enter the Qi Refining State, and try to break through to the Level Three Vital Energy Refining Realm. I’ll help control your fiery Qi.” “Ooh~” Wang Licui knew she was in big trouble and hastily complied, sitting cross-legged in cultivation. Meanwhile, Old Ancestor Longyan used her Mysterious Ice and a bit of Yin Sha to suppress the fiery spiritual energy inside her.
To avoid disturbing them, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Xiaohan retreated a distance.
Seeing the serious look on Wang Shouzhe’s face, Wang Xiaohan reassured him, “Shouzhe, don’t worry. With Grand Aunt here, that girl turned misfortune into’ a blessing.”
“Grand Uncle, that’s not what I’m worried about.” Wang Shouzhe said helplessly, “I’m afraid that Licui, this brat, will still eat things randomly. We had Old Ancestor to save her this time, but what if next time even Old Ancestor can’t save her?”
“That should not happen.” Wang Xiaohan responded, “The Vermilion Fruit, although a flame-attribute spiritual fruit, is quite moderate in nature. Even if Old Ancestor didn’t intervene, she would have been fine as long as she diligently cultivated, while the Vermilion Fruit’s spiritual energy remodeled her. It’s just such a waste of the Vermilion Fruit…”
Wang Xiaohan was at a loss for words too. The Vermilion Fruit was the main ingredient of a Level Five Spirit Pill. A Level Five Spirit Pill was worth at least tens of thousands, or even more! The famous “Heavenly Spirit Pill” is a kind of Level Five Spirit Pill.
This treasure, in the hands of an Alchemy Master, would be considered a gem. However, it was eaten by a little girl and a little tiger.
There were only four words to describe it.
Such wasteful extravagance!
“Grand Uncle,” Wang Shouzhe contemplated before speaking, “The Vermilion Fruit Tree is a perennial spiritual fruit tree, right? And such a high-level spiritual fruit tree must be growing in an extraordinary place.”
“Yes, if we could find where the Vermilion Fruit Tree grows, it could greatly strengthen our family’s foundation.” Wang Xiaohan, suppressing his excitement and doubt, agreed, “There must be a rare fire spirit vein there. However, Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan checked the surrounding mountains in the past, but never found such a treasure. I occasionally go up the mountain, but never discovered this place either…”
“It must be extremely hidden, or have a hidden entrance.” Wang Shouzhe suggested, “The young miss is only at the Level Two Vital Energy Refining Realm, she doesn’t move fast. It should be within twenty or thirty miles.” With that said, the two men stopped discussing this topic, waiting patiently. In less than an hour, Old Ancestor Longyan and Wang Licui finished their cultivation.
At this moment, Wang Licui was radiant, and her body emanated a powerful Qi which hadn’t yet dissipated.
It was clear that she had advanced to Level Three of the Qi Refining State. Moreover, her body’s energy remained very abundant… Apparently, she had not yet fully utilized the potential of the Vermilion Fruit. No wonder, the Vermilion Fruit was a high-level spiritual fruit used to refine Level Five Spirit Pills. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com
It had to be acknowledged that the luck of this lazy and gluttonous young girl was terrifying. It gave Wang Shouzhe the illusion that she was the protagonist.
As expected, Old Ancestor Longyan said, “Young miss, you must cultivate diligently close to me in the near future. Do not slack off, and strive to break through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refining State as soon as possible.” “Yes, Old Ancestor.” Wang Licui knew she had created trouble, and was especially obedient and well-behaved at this moment.
Young miss,” Wang Shouzhe asked, “Do you remember how to get to that fruit tree?”
Wang Licui twisted her brain and thought hard, then shook her head in a daze, “I don’t remember. I was just wandering at the time, and then felt there was something delicious over there, so I went.”
I knew it!
Though he had expected this, Wang Shouzhe still had the impulse to tweak her ears. All she ever thinks about is how to eat.
“Maybe, Huahua remembers.” Wang Licui’s eyes lit up, shifting the blame to the little tiger.
Poor little tiger Huahua looked blankly from side to side, unaware of what to do as everyone’s eyes fixated on her. It was as if she was expressing, “I’m just a freshly weaned kitten… Can you not expect so much from me? The pressure is overwhelming.”
“Grandpa Liu, let’s start by carefully searching around the spot where we found Licui last time,” Wang Shouzhe said in resignation, given the unreliability of both man and pet.
“We have no other choice,” Wang Xiaohan agreed with a nod.
Over the following few days,
Wang Shouzhe held onto Wang Licui as they began searching up the mountain. Wang Xiaohan and Old Ancestor Longyan also joined the search, not leaving any corner unexplored.
It was crucial to locate this Fire Spirit Vein. Its importance to the family was paramount, providing long-term benefits equivalent to adding another Spirit Platform Realm to the ancestors.
On the fifth day,
During their third search, they discovered a well-hidden entrance in a small hollow in the hill.
As they walked into the narrow entrance, they could vaguely feel a wave of heat.
Yes, yes, this is the place,” Wang Licui exclaimed with excitement, “Just a bit further and we will be there.”
Wang Shouzhe gave her a stern glance. ‘Only now you remember? Your sense of direction is utterly hopeless.’
“Everyone, be careful,” Old Ancestor Longyan calmly warned. “Treasure lands often have fierce beasts guarding them. There’s a decent chance this is Huahua’s mother’s territory.”
Upon hearing this, everybody’s nerves were on edge.
Wang Xiaohan was even more petrified; if there were a third-level fierce beast hidden here, it would pose a huge threat to the Prosperous Farm. Fortunately, third-level beasts, being highly intelligent, dared not enter human territories recklessly.
Too close for comfort!
Thankfully, two ancestors were accompanying them. Even if they encountered a third-level beast, they would not be afraid. Even a level four beast couldn’t harm them if they planned to retreat immediately.
Such are the perks of having two ancestors in the family.
When an opportunity arises, they dare to compete for it.
Otherwise, they would have to borrow an ancestor from another family. In that case, they would have to share the benefits.
It is most fortunate if they can fully control the treasures within their own territories.
After travelling down a winding path, about hundreds of feet in distance, they were hit by a wave of heat. The dimly-lit scene suddenly became bright. Within the cave walls, flickers of red spirit light glowed like a brilliant crimson dawn, its scorching waves pressing onto them.
In the middle of the cave, where the red light was most intense, stood a crimson gem-like tree as tall as an adult, emitting an aura as intense as red coral. From within, it seemed like a flow of red fluid was circulating.
“A middle-grade Fire Spirit Vein!”
“The Vermilion Fruit Spirit Tree!”
Both the old ancestors of the family couldn’t help but exclaim, hardly concealing the excitement and delight in their voices.
Such a valuable spiritual treasure is extremely rare, even in the Tianren family! Wang Shouzhe suppressed his excitement and looked around the Fire Element Spirit Vein cave. Suddenly, he spotted a shape like a skeleton lying in a Magma Fire Pond, around which a swirl of firelight danced.
Old Ancestor Longyan held the Dragon Smoke Sword and performed a brief inspection. He finally relaxed, “It’s a set of tiger bones that are almost burnt to ashes. I’m afraid, this place has no owner anymore.”
Ownerless land!
Wang Shouzhe was overjoyed internally. An ownerless land was the best outcome. His biggest fear was that there was hidden danger in this treasure land. What if they manage the land for a long time, and then the big tiger returns?
With Ancestor Xiaohan just promoted to the Spirit Platform Realm and an additional treasure land for the family, it was truly a time of double happiness.
