After determining their location, the two of them set off cautiously. In front of these towering ancient trees, the two of them were as small as ants.
This place is off the beaten path, but I encountered a lot of good things.
There are many good things like Ten Thousand Years Tremella, White Needle Truffles, etc.
They even discovered the lair of a powerful alien beast, which had been scared away by the bloody giant python before.
The two of them picked up a lot of extremely hard scales in the lair. The material itself is comparable to earth-level spiritual weapons. If it is refined, it will at least be a heaven-level treasure!
"Wow, there is also a magical elixir here. If it is refined into a pill, it will at least improve your cultivation level a lot."
Nian Nujiao looked at the shimmering red fruits in the gaps between the spiritual stones on the roadside in surprise.
Xu Changan went over, took it off, put it in his mouth and ate it.
"This is too wasteful. Only by refining it into elixirs can we maximize the use of this red fruit."
Nian Nujiao said with some pity when she saw Xu Changan eating the red fruit like this.
"It's not poisonous, just eat it. It would be a waste not to eat it!"
Xu Changan directly stuffed the red fruit into Nian Nujiao's mouth.
There are too many elixirs here, and keeping them is a waste. It is better to eat them directly to maximize yourself, ensure subsequent safety, and save space for the storage ring to hold better things.
In this way, the two of them took the rare elixir and traveled across the mountains and ridges.
Along the way, Xu Changan used his strong mental perception to avoid some dangerous areas.
Some little guys quickly killed them and left immediately.
Fortunately, the next actions of the two of them went fairly smoothly, and they did not encounter anything too abnormal. The bloody python seemed to be just an accident.
The further inside, Xu Changan also discovered a special rule.
In this small world, the more peripheral, the strange beasts that appear exist in groups.
The further inside, the stronger the individual strength becomes, and many strange beasts exist as separate individuals.
Occasionally there are more than one, that is, one family.
"Calculating the distance, we should be almost there, right?"
Xu Changan took a bite of the spirit fruit in his hand, and the aura on his body became deeper and deeper.
"What are you looking for?"
Nian Nujiao is a little curious. Even if she is a demon, she knows that this small world has not been opened for many years.
However, Xu Changan said that the golden-patterned bat was going to take him somewhere.
Now, I am also looking for it.
"Looking for something I don't know clearly. Maybe it's fate, maybe it's an accidental arrangement."
Xu Changan smiled, and there was deep meaning in his smile.
"I don't understand. If you need my help, just tell me directly."
Nian Nujiao didn't understand Xu Changan's words, but she was willing to help Xu Changan as long as he needed it.
"Of course, after all, after all, you are also my fiancée!"
Xu Changan smiled.
Nian Nujiao's earlobes were slightly red, but she did not refute.
After walking through the tall woods and avoiding a poisonous spider the size of a hillside, the two came to a very special place.
There are traces of thought manipulation here.
Dozens of boulders form a special formation. In the center of the formation is a tree with seven transparent fruits hanging on it.
"There's something weird about this place!"
You don’t need to tell Nian Nujiao, everyone can see it.
Surrounded by a lush primeval forest, a clearing suddenly appeared, filled with human traces.
"Perhaps, this is where the golden-patterned bat wants to take me."
Xu Changan guessed.
After all, this is the only place that best meets the conditions.
The two of them became increasingly cautious and did not go in immediately, but chose to wait and see outside.
"This is a formation."
Xu Changan absorbed Xu Changping's knowledge and could be said to be proficient in formations.
This place uses the surrounding boulders and mountains to form a special formation, which is very powerful.
However, it can't stop him.
Xu Changan led Nian Nujiao in twists and turns, forward and backward, left and right, and finally successfully walked into the formation.
"Look, there seems to be someone there!"
As soon as she came in, Nian Nujiao pointed at a figure in the forest ahead, sitting cross-legged on the boulders. It was a human race.
He was wearing a black Taoist robe, which seemed to have accumulated dust, and looked like a fairy. At this time, Huo turned around and found Xu Changan and Nian Nujiao.
He smiled at the two of them, waved his hand, and a stool appeared in front of him, beckoning them to come over.
"You're here." The man said with a smile.
Nian Nujiao and Xu Changan looked at each other and noticed something strange.
In a small world that has been closed for tens of thousands of years, in a formation that was arranged by someone unknown, there is actually a person.
Nian Nujiao was the first to answer, "I'm coming."
The man's eyes focused on Nian Nujiao, "You shouldn't have come."
Nian Nujiao took a step forward and quietly winked at Xu Changan, "But I'm still here."
The man seemed to be feeling very emotional, "Time is destiny. Now that you are here, the destiny that has been set cannot be changed after all.
I have been waiting here for thousands of years, just waiting for your way to come."
"Who are you and why are you waiting for her?" Xu Changan followed and asked.
He had a thorough understanding of this person's situation. This strong man was very strong, surpassing the ninth level of heaven, but not the peerless realm.
If we had to settle on a realm, it could probably be called half-step peerlessness.
It is even stronger than the previous golden-patterned bat, but along the way, Xu Changan's progress has not been low.
His body has no bottlenecks and no limitations.
With the help of countless elixirs, his own cultivation has reached the eighth level of heaven. Although the level of cultivation is still shown as level 99, it is only much higher than his own cultivation.
Although this man is powerful, he is not unable to cope with it.
"Me?" The man looked like he had gone through many changes, and said with a faint smile, "I came from the mortal world and came here to seek immortality.
However, immortality cannot be found, and immortality cannot be expected.
I was enlightened by the Emperor of Heaven by chance, and I am here to wait for the destined person."
“It’s been so long, I’ve even forgotten my own name.
If you need a title, you can call me Immortal.
Fortunately, after waiting for so long, you are finally here. According to the agreement, there are five immortality fruits on the tree. Each of you can take two, and just give me one."
There is a faint fragrance on the tree, and there are seven fruits emitting glow and rippling halo. At first glance, they are not ordinary things.
"The Fruit of Immortality?" Nian Nujiao wondered, "I know the Fruit of Immortality. It can add one to two hundred years to your life. What is the Fruit of Immortality?"
Immortal is very patient and explained:
"The Fruit of the Path to Immortality, as the name suggests, contains the fruit of the Path to Immortality.
If you eat it, you can gain the path to immortality and live forever."
Wu Mie looked at Nian Nujiao and said, "You are destined, you can just walk over and pick the fruits. There won't be any hindrance."
"Really? Immortality? What a grand ambition! I want to live forever, but in front of the fruit of immortality, I can only see it but not get it.
So I have worked hard and prepared for so long, just to wait for the true owner of this immortal fruit.
You want to replace it, right?"
When Xu Changan came here, he felt the familiar feeling of this place, but the tree with the Taoist Fruit of Eternal Life did not feel familiar.
Because Xu Changan was familiar with it, he tried to use his spiritual power and soul to understand this place.
Sure enough, there is no rejection for him here.
The Immortality Dao Fruit is not grown by oneself at all.
Instead, Xu Changan, the Immortal Planter in front of him, could probably guess it.
This place was discovered by Immortal, and they wanted to seize the treasures here, but there was no way. The rules of this place meant that you had to do it yourself to open it.
He was unwilling to give in, so he prepared a trap.
There was no immortality fruit in it at all, it was a body-seizing fruit cultivated with his own essence and blood.
If he and others eat it, he will directly become an immortal puppet clone. He can use the identity of the destined person to obtain the real treasure.
This immortal strength, I'm afraid, was originally supposed to be a truly peerless existence, but because of feeding on the body-taking fruit tree, it became what it is now.
Because of this, Xu Changan pointed out directly that there was no need to be afraid of this immortal.
This person's malicious intent is too obvious.
Although he is a human being, he has lost his original intention.
He has already broken free from the shackles of morality and is doing whatever he wants in no man's land.
Sometimes some people's bottom line is so low that they are even more terrifying than ferocious beasts.
Immortal's eyes moved slightly, but there was not much change. He smiled at Nian Nujiao and said: "Girl, since you are destined, why should I lie to you?
The Taoist Fruit of Immortality is a rare thing. It is rare in the world. If you get one, you can live forever.
I have been waiting for thousands of years, just waiting for you to come and take them away."
"This is a no-man's forbidden zone. If it weren't for waiting for the right person, why would I have to stay here for thousands of years?"
"Girl, this friend of yours has been fixated on the Fruit of Immortality since he came in. Now he says such words. I'm afraid he has other motives, right?"
Immortal spoke slowly, as if what he said made sense.
If Xu Changan and Nian Nujiao cooperated for a short time, they would really be deceived.
However, he didn't know that he had made a mistake from the beginning.
The real destined person is Xu Changan, not Nian Nujiao.
He doesn't even have a basic way of identifying a destined person, and he's not as powerful as that golden-patterned bat, yet he pretends to be the inheritor?
Moreover, although Immortal is pretending, he obviously hasn't met anyone for a long time, and his disguise is a bit too immature.
Although he was smiling, it was obvious that he had bad intentions.
He even felt that he was the strong one, and the two people in front of him were rubbing against each other, giving him a feeling of superiority.
"Hey, should I call you smart or stupid?
Do you really portray the ugliness of human nature vividly?
You are trying your best to perform, but you have got the wrong person. I am not the destined person, he is.
You have shown all your ugly side."
Nian Nujiao also sneered and said, showing no mercy at all.
There is no need to be merciful when you encounter someone who breaks through the bottom line.
"Do you know who you are talking to?
Originally, I wanted you to go in by yourselves, so I’ll save you some effort. Since you’re toasting instead of eating and being fined with wine, don’t blame me.”
After being exposed, he stopped pretending to be dead and looked at the two of them and asked with a sneer.
He really has no fear. Judging from their age, both of them are very young. Even if his cultivation level has deteriorated, he still has half a step of peerless strength.
These two talented people in front of them are only in their early twenties, how dare they challenge him?
"You are facing a half-step peerless world!" Fu Die said coldly.
After Nian Nujiao heard this, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she took Xu Changan's hand and was about to retreat. "Quickly go!"
Although she had some understanding of Xu Changan's strength, she was still worried that the person in front of her was definitely a veteran half-step peerless person.
Not an ordinary existence.
However, Xu Changan held Nian Nujiao and did not let her lead him away.
