Ye Qingxin had never seen Xu Wendong so out of control before.
A strong sense of curiosity rose in her heart: "What is the Blood Vermilion Fruit?"
Xu Wendong tried his best to calm his emotions, and excitedly said, "The Blood Vermilion Fruit is an extrely rare fruit, saying it’s a Heaven and Earth Treasure wouldn’t be an overstatent."
"This thing is ford by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, containing terrifying Spiritual Energy, and when an ordinary person consus it, it has the effect of transformation and immunity to all illnesses."
"For cultivators, consuming it can solidify the body and enhance one’s cultivation level."
"If you consu it, I guarantee you could reach Grandmaster-level."
As a cultivator, Xu Wendong knew well the rarity of the Blood Vermilion Fruit, and if obtained, it would be a trendous opportunity.
Ye Qingxin eagerly asked, "Where is the Blood Vermilion Fruit?"
"Two hundred miles away on Shaoshi Mountain, on our way there, quick, quick, quick, speed up!" Xu Wendong was sowhat impatient.
He truly did not expect that after watching a short video, he would discover such a Heaven and Earth Treasure like the Blood Vermilion Fruit.
Although Ye Qingxin was excited, she did not lose her rationality, and she asked, "Since the video of the Blood Vermilion Fruit has been posted online, isn’t it possible that soone else has already obtained it?"
"No way!" Xu Wendong replied with a smile, "Those two Blood Vermilion Fruits are growing on a cliff, inadvertently fild by a bird photographer, and the video was only uploaded less than half an hour ago, the current views are not high. If we hurry over, we might get ahead of the others."
Xu Wendong knew that surely soone would recognize the origin of the Blood Vermilion Fruit, and by then countless people would covet it, even causing conflicts over it.
However, they were only an hour and a half away from Shaoshi Mountain, so they could definitely make it in ti.
Upon hearing this,
Ye Qingxin stomped down hard on the accelerator, and the rcedes pickup sped up like an unbridled horse, roaring as it shot forward.
At the sa ti, Xu Wendong called Qin Feng, "I need to get to Shaoshi Mountain as soon as possible, and there will inevitably be so traffic violations on the way, can you help handle them?"
There were surveillance caras all over the highway, and if they occasionally had a violation, they wouldn’t be intercepted, but if they had violations all the way, they’d be stopped long before reaching Shaoshi Mountain.
Then ti would be wasted, which is why Xu Wendong asked Qin Feng to help handle the violations.
After hanging up the phone,
Xu Wendong fell into contemplation.
He seldom watched short videos,
but why did he discover such a Heaven and Earth Treasure like the Blood Vermilion Fruit this ti?
Could it really be because of killing that Gu Worm and acquiring the national fortune it absorbed that led to this opportunity?
Earlier, Elder Qin had said that even a wisp of national fortune falling on soone was an endless boon.
Initially, he did not believe this statent,
but now, he was thoroughly convinced.
After all,
the appearance of the Blood Vermilion Fruit was too much of a coincidence.
If not for opportunity, how would you explain all of this?
"Opportunity is really important for cultivators. If my opportunities were greater, I would certainly be able to progress much faster on the path of cultivation, even shortcutting many detours."
Xu Wendong realized the importance of opportunity and fortune, but unlike making money, there was no way or thod to obtain it.
Ye Qingxin’s driving skills were strong, shortening the original hour-and-a-half journey to just half an hour.
The rcedes drove out of the highway exit, and after another twenty minutes of travel, they arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
Shaoshi Mountain was a tourist attraction, and now with the brisk autumn air and it being a Sunday, there were many tourists there.
However, this did not affect Xu Wendong because the Blood Vermilion Fruit’s location was at South Heaven Gate, behind the Sky-Connecting Grand Canyon.
This place was a developed tourist site, but it was so remote, with no other connecting attractions, so hardly anyone ca here.
When they arrived at the Sky-Connecting Grand Canyon, it was already 10:30 AM, and even Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin were a bit exhausted, since after getting out of the car, they walked nearly fifteen kiloters of mountain road non-stop.
After another half-hour, they went around to the back of the canyon.
There stood a cliff hundreds of ters high, its orderly rock face appearing as if cleaved by a Celestial God, impassable.
Xu Wendong clearly saw a green plant halfway up the cliff, with two strawberry-sized blood-red fruits on it.
Even from hundreds of ters away, they could vaguely see it, and he could even sll the fragrance emitted by the Blood Vermilion Fruit, truly refreshing and exceptionally rare.
Just then,
He did not expect to see a Monk clad in robes, climbing the cliff with bare hands, clearly targeting the Blood Vermilion Fruit.
"Why is there a Monk here?" Xu Wendong was full of surprise.
Ye Qingxin rolled her eyes at Xu Wendong, "Was your geography class taught by the PE teacher? Don’t you know that the Shaolin Temple is on the Song Mountain behind here?"
"Yes, for Shaolin Temple, Shaoshi Mountain is their backyard, is it necessary to be surprised by a Monk here?"
"Ahem!" Xu Wendong cleared his throat, using a dry cough to hide his inner embarrassnt, then said, "Even if this is Shaolin Temple’s backyard, such treasures belong to those with capability." As he spoke, he walked to the base of the cliff, reached out with both hands, grabbed the rugged rock surface, and used his hands and feet.
Like Spiderman from the superhero TV series, he quickly went toward the Blood Vermilion Fruit above him.
Though the Monk was a hundred ters above him, the Monk’s speed was far slower than Xu Wendong’s.
In less than two minutes, Xu Wendong caught up to the young Monk.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with a fat head and big ears, a simple and honest appearance.
However, his fingertips were already bloodied, and his face sowhat haggard, appearing very weak.
Xu Wendong smiled and asked, "Master, are you also here for those wild fruits?"
Looking at Xu Wendong’s carefree smile, Hui Cong forced a smile and said, "This humble monk doesn’t need them, but soone else does."
Xu Wendong said, "I need them too."
Hui Cong showed a shy smile, "Then let’s each use our skills and see who can get them!"
Xu Wendong looked up at the Blood Vermilion Fruit above, grinning, "If nothing unexpected happens, the fruit will be in my hands."
Hui Cong also smiled, revealing a aningful smile, "If you can get this fruit, it is naturally destined for you."
"However, when one says ’if nothing unexpected happens,’ unexpected things often occur."
After a pause, he said solemnly, "Good sir, everything is predetermined. Listen to this monk’s advice, go back down the mountain, this opportunity is not for you to seize!"
"Do not lose your life over it!"
Xu Wendong glanced at the two blood-red fruits high above, with eyes gleaming with hidden brilliance, "Then let’s each use our skills and see who can grasp the opportunity here!" With that, he swiftly climbed towards the Blood Vermilion Fruit, using both his hands and feet.
