“This is?”

Black Phoenix took the wooden vial and opened it.

Suddenly, a potent breath of life escaped from the vial.

The restaurant was a wooden structure, and at this moment, the yellowed tables, chairs, beams, and pillars were all sprouting branches and leaves. In an instant, the entire restaurant became a lush land of green teeming with vitality.

The aura flowed around the beam, and the dead wood got a second lease of life.

A gleam of light appeared in Black Phoenix eyes, as she realized that the spring water in the wooden vial must be quite rare.

Zhang Ruochen said. “It’s a bit of the fountain of life I had gotten by chance. No matter how badly injured you are, just by drinking it, your wounds will heal quickly, and help you return to your peak.

The fountain of life is created from the new seedlings of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

As the tree grows, the fountain of life under the tree had become a big pool.

Giving a small bottle as a gift to someone was a trivial matter.

Black Phoenix however did not think so. One should know, the aura of the fountain of life alone was enough to give life to dead wood. It could be seen that even a small vial was enough to be comparable to a sacred healing pill, and was worth at least tens of millions of sacred stones.

Black Phoenix was a little embarra.s.sed to take it and said solemnly. “The fountain of life is just too precious, and it’s like having one more life, I cannot take it. The Maleficent Records of the Ten Clans of the Infernal Court indeed only needs one saint stone to purchase.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Don’t have to be so reserved. Take it as a sign of friends.h.i.+p.”

Black Phoenix wanted to continue to decline, but the Fool sitting by the side was ready to make a move as he lunged at the wooden vial, yelling. “I want it, I want it.”

Black Phoenix flicked her sleeves aside, and put the small wooden vial away as she glared at the Fool again.

Immediately, she put away the small wooden vial like a treasured item, her beautiful eyes flickered as she said. “Then I shall oblige you and take it! Cripple, you are not weak, and are also trained in the way of the dimensions. Surely you are no common folk, what is your real name?”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said. “A drifting duckweed has no roots, thus ask not a wanderer of that. A Butcher was just called the Butcher, a fool being called the Fool, the White Zhuque is being called thus, and the Black Phoenix is also the same, why do you need to ask that much? Call me the Crippled, it’s a pretty good name.”

“Hehe.”

Without warning, Black Phoenix approached Zhang Ruochen with her five fingers like lightning, revealing thousands of phantoms of her fingers.

A trace of lightning flowed along her fingers.

Black Phoenix grabbed nothing and failed in her ploy as Zhang Ruochen had disappeared from where he sat and stood several feet away.

Black Phoenix withdrew her hand and looked somewhat discouraged as she said, “We are at the very least friends in adversity, why are you still so cautious against us? This saintly maiden just wanted to take your mask off and see how you look like, that’s all.”

Zhang Ruochen said. “If I was not cautious, I’m afraid I’d be long dead already, and how could I live until today? Weren’t you two lacked caution that you fell for s.h.i.+ Kai’s ambush?”

Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque fell silent.

While their cultivation level was far beyond Zhang Ruochen, but if it was a real combat situation, it was very likely they would have perished in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

With just this test alone, Black Phoenix had already noticed that the crippled was not as simple as he looked.

What Zhang Ruochen said earlier was undoubtedly a shock to them.

Black Phoenix and White Zhuque escorted Tianmingzi and left Luocheng.

When they left, Black Phoenix told Zhang Ruochen that they will come back as the deep waters of Luoshui was definitely an awakened sacred soil with great opportunities hidden in it.

At the same time, she also told Zhang Ruochen that the sacred medicines in Luoshui had the same characteristics as the medicines growing at the Divinity Bestowment Altar, and could increase the Saint Path precepts in a cultivator’s body, and improve their cultivation level.

The Butcher and the Fool also bade farewell to Zhang Ruochen and said that they were going to meet Her Highness.

As for the Her Highness they were talking about, Zhang Ruochen did not ask too much about her. After all, there were many ancient civilizations that cooperated with the Celestial Court, and the number of Celestial Maidens numbered in the hundreds.

Zhang Ruochen then moved the civilians of Luocheng into the Qiankun Realm and then spent another day and night to get to the various major fis.h.i.+ng villages and small towns at the edge of Luoshui and picking up the surviving fisherfolks before rus.h.i.+ng back to Yunwu Commandery.

…

Luoshui was a borderland.

The western sh.o.r.e of Luoshui had fisherfolks living there, close to Qianshui and Yunwu Commanderies.

The eastern sh.o.r.e of Luoshui was a desolate and uninhabited primal jungle. Legends say that all sorts of powerful wild beasts, with dense miasma covering the swamp, with mortal dangers lying within. The people of Yunwu Commandery called the place, the Xuanhuang Wasteland.
