At the ng family secret realm, Gu Han slowly opened his eyes. His cultivation was only half a step away from the fifth stage of the Essence Gathering realm. He never expected that a single Purple Mist Fruit could have such a great effect.
Not far away, continuous loud rumbles reached his ears. It was Murong Yan and the other two. They exerted their full strength, frantically attacking a restrictive barrier.
Murong Yan’s dissatisfied shouts rang in the mix.
“Senior Brother, put so more effort into it!”
“Senior Brother, you really are a softie!”
“Senior Brother, you’re not even as good as the guy surnad Yang, how embarrassing!”
The corner of Gu Han’s mouth twitched as his heart surged with excitent again. A restrictive barrier? There must be sothing good!
After all, he had already experienced it. Just like the Soul-Nourishing Grass from the Yang family, the more precious the spirit herb, the more ticulously the two families protected it. With a flash, he had already arrived beside the few of them.
Shen Xuan was overjoyed. “Brother Gu, you finally woke up!”
The restrictive barrier before them was even a bit more formidable than the Yang family’s one. Murong Yan and Yang Ying had been going all out for a long ti, yet they had only worn down half of that restrictive barrier. Shen Xuan’s contribution could almost be ignored. This was also the reason for Murong Yan’s great dissatisfaction.
Upon seeing the spirit herb inside the barrier, Gu Han was taken aback. “Is that the Green Lotus Fruit?”
The fruit was pale green in color, shaped like a lotus pod, with nine openings. He was very familiar with it.
Yang Ying was sowhat surprised. “You know about it?”
After all, in his understanding, the spirit herbs Gu Han recognized were not that many.
Gu Han calmly replied, “I’ve eaten it.”
Yang Ying felt a bit sour inside.
Seeing the astonished looks from everyone, he added. “My father gave it to . It’s a bit sweet, and it tastes pretty good.”
Now, even Murong Yan and Shen Xuan felt sour.
Without further delay, Gu Han took out his sword. “Let’s do it! It’s such a good thing, so we must get our hands on it!”
With him joining in, the pressure on Murong Yan and the other greatly reduced. In less than half an hour, they completely broke through.
“What do we do?” Holding the fruit, Gu Han thought for a mont. “How about we split it and eat it? If we don’t use special thods to preserve this fruit, it won’t last more than a few days.”
Yang Ying beca serious. “No! This fruit is a top-grade precious herb, rare and hard to find. Its value won’t be lower than the Soul-Nourishing Grass. If you eat it now, at most, it’ll only improve your cultivation level and physique a bit. However, if you wait until you’re about to face the heavenly tribulation to consu it, the significance would be completely different.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Han also beca hesitant, suddenly thinking of Gu Tian.
After seeing him seemingly having difficulties, Murong Yan waved her hand dismissively. “Brother Gu, you take it! I’m still far from facing the heavenly tribulation. Besides, with my strength, a asly heavenly tribulation can’t do anything to !”
“That won’t do...”
Shen Xuan smiled. “Brother Gu, what she says is the truth. Actually, she awakened the Giant Spirit Bloodline.”
Her bloodline was exceptionally rare in the world. It followed the path of overwhelming force with sheer strength. Not only was the physique extrely strong, but the strength was also imnse. In terms of pure physical body and brute force, almost no one could rival her. However, this bloodline also had a drawback: without exception, those who awakened this bloodline would end up looking like Murong Yan
After hearing his explanation, Gu Han suddenly understood. “So that’s how it is.”
With such a strong physique, it would be much easier to survive the heavenly tribulation than others.
Shen Xuan sighed. “As for , to reach the Heavenly Tribulation realm, I’m afraid it will take even longer than her. Even if you gave it to , I simply couldn’t use it. Moreover, given your current cultivation speed, you’ll probably reach that realm before I do.”
Yang Ying’s answer was simple. “You have it. It’s to repay my debt. Plus, I really have no use for this thing.”
Gu Han sensed sothing was off. Whether it was the Soul-Nourishing Grass or this Green Lotus Fruit, both were first-class precious herbs. Given Yang Ying’s character, if he wanted it, he’d say so. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t. He absolutely wouldn’t use such a la excuse.
“Brother Yang, you—”
Yang Ying changed the subject. “There’s sothing I want to discuss with you.”
“Go ahead!”
Yang Ying hesitated. “I want to let my younger sister have the cultivation technique.”
“That’s all?”
“Mhm.”
Gu Han waved his hand. “Give it to whoever you want! It’s just a Heaven-tier technique. It’s an inferior thing, don’t take it so seriously! When my cultivation level is higher in the future, I’ll give you ten or eight of them to pick as you like!”
Yang Ying thought Gu Han was just saying this to comfort him. After a mont of silence, he solemnly cupped his hands. “Thank you!”
Murong Yan glanced at Yang Ying. “Pretentious!”
Shen Xuan nodded. “Very pretentious beyond words!”
Gu Han thought for a mont before saying, “This ti, I’ll only take this Green Lotus Fruit. The rest are yours.”
Upon seeing the two about to refuse, he frowned deeply. “To be honest, I’m the one taking advantage by getting the Soul-Nourishing Grass and this Green Lotus Fruit! If you don’t agree, our cooperation ends here!”
Shen Xuan and Yang Ying exchanged a glance and didn’t refuse further. They could see that Gu Han was serious.
Yang Ying hesitated for a mont. “Then, this ti let’s distribute according to the level of contribution...”
Gu Han felt a headache coming on. “Just split equally! Split equally, you hear ! By the way, I’m going to eat those spirit herbs that we can’t take with us.”
Shen Xuan frowned deeply. “Brother Gu, while consuming spirit herbs raw may bring short-term gains in cultivation, it will inevitably lead to a buildup of impurities over ti. It’s not a wise move. Instead, you have to spend a lot of ti refining them.”
Gu Han waved his hand. “It’s fine. My physique is sowhat special, I’m not afraid of that.”
Shen Xuan’s eyes lit up. “Oh? Could it be that you also have a special physique?”
Gu Han said with a deadpan look, “That’s right. I have the Poison Immunity Physique!”
Shen Xuan and Yang Ying sucked in a deep breath. As if such a physique really exists! Are you kidding ?!
Murong Yan glanced at the two of them. “See, you’re worrying over nothing! Brother Gu is a man with his own mind. Even the old ancestor praised him, saying at such a young age, he’s highly intelligent, deeply values loyalty, decisive in killing, thick-skinned and black-hearted—”
The atmosphere beca a bit awkward.
Murong Yan quickly tried to fix it. “No wait! The old ancestor didn’t say the last part!”
Gu Han’s face darkened, feeling that giving away that technique was a bit rash.
***
Murong Yuan didn’t know that he had been secretly resented by Gu Han. His face was livid as he crushed that jade talisman into powder, forcing the appearance of burning anger. “This is too much! As a senior, is it acceptable to play with us like this? It’s simply shaless to the extre!”
Elder Mu sighed. “Haa... This senior has a really wicked sense of humor!”
Wei Fang was expressionless. “It’s not surprising. The higher the cultivation level, the stranger the temperant. It’s just that we were too greedy and fell for his trick!”
The moods of the two had gone from initial anger and unwillingness into helplessness. Compared to them, Wu De, Duan Ren, and Li Xun were not so calm.
Wu De’s expression was nearly crazed. “None? How could there be none?! There should be a few more sentences!”
Duan Ren also muttered to himself, “If there were just a few more sentences, I might have been able to comprehend its mysteries and use it to make a breakthrough. I hate it... I hate this!!!”
The two of them were nearing the end of their lifespans. Whether they could make another breakthrough depended solely on this technique. They never expected that in the end, it was just a farce. The extre emotional ups and downs almost made them go insane.
Of course, the ones having the hardest ti were undoubtedly Yang Tong and ng Qing. This was what they got after losing almost one-third of their elite clansn’s lives and being severely injured themselves?!
Screw this!
In an instant, two powerful auras surged. The two could no longer hold back and completely wrecked the relic site.
Yang Xiong and ng Chuan seed grief-stricken and indignant. “Old Ancestor, what should we do now?”
Yang Tong’s face twisted, gnashing his teeth. “Find him! Find that cultivator who spread the ssage for !”
ng Qing’s eyes were also bloodshot. “That’s right! I want to grind his bones to dust!”
Overwheld by fury, the two of them aggravated their injuries again, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
***
Inside the secret realm, Gu Han didn’t care if he could handle it or not. Whenever he saw a spirit herb, he stuffed it into his mouth, making the other three’s eyelids twitch.
Murong Yan seed worried. “Brother Gu, are you still holding up?”
Gu Han shook his head with difficulty. “I’m fine! I can still eat a bit more...”
The three were speechless. More? Aren’t you afraid your body will explode?!
In fact, if not for his miraculous ridians being exceptionally resilient, Gu Han would’ve exploded long ago.
Holding onto the thought that not eating would be a loss, he gritted his teeth and stuffed the last spirit herb into his mouth. The ng family’s secret realm was swept clean, without a single trace of spirit herb left.
Gu Han’s face flushed deep red. “Let’s go! I need to break through! This place isn’t suitable.”
Wave after wave of violent spirit qi impacts kept assaulting him inside. He felt so uncomfortable, he almost wanted to vomit blood. The breakthrough was different from before. He would definitely spend an extrely long ti, and remaining here would be no different from seeking death.
Shen Xuan could also see that Gu Han was enduring great discomfort and didn’t hesitate. “Let’s go! Let’s find him a safe place first!”
Forcing down the nausea, Gu Han once again tore open the secret realm’s barrier and headed straight north.
***
Not long after the three left, a young man with a weathered face walked in slowly. Although he didn’t seem to be moving fast, he had already reached the center of the estate in just a short while.
Upon seeing his figure, the ng clansman was stunned for a mont, then overjoyed. “Huh? Y-Young Master?!”
The young man before him was none other than the young master who had been traveling outside for a long ti, ng Xing.
In an instant, his shout attracted many clansn, who ca forward to pay their respects.
“Greetings, Young Master!”
ng Xing nodded faintly, his gaze sweeping around. He furrowed his brow. “Where are my father and the others?”
Before the clansn could answer, ng Qian’s voice full of surprise and joy ca from the distance. “Brother, you have finally returned!”
She ran over to ng Xing, her eyes filled with excitent and joy.
A smile appeared on ng Xing’s face. “Sister, why does the clan seem a bit off, where did father and the others go—hmm?”
Just then, he noticed the lingering bruise on ng Qian’s face. His tone instantly turned cold. “Who did this?!”
Thinking of her unfortunate encounter, ng Qian felt sorrow welling up from within, sobbing. “Brother, it’s Fengwu Court’s chief disciple! And also...”
“What else?!”
“Second Brother is also dead!”
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from ng Xing. Cold, murderous intent filled his eyes. “Tell what happened in detail, from the beginning to end!”
