Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Tell No One
“You see, most of these people are here to find the roots and rhizomes of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit…”
Li Tangyu pointed to the cultivators not far away who were clearing up the stones and wood chips on the ground.
“Of course, there are also some others who, I bet, are just like Brother Lin, knowing nothing and just joining in the excitement…”
Lin Jing looked at Li Tangyu with concern and asked,
“Your grandfather is injured, how is he? Is the injury severe?”
Li Tangyu replied,
“Thanks for your concern, Brother Lin…”
“My grandfather is okay, his injuries aren’t that serious…”
“But it seems like others aren’t so optimistic…”
“Especially Elder Zhang Yuan’s ancestor from his family and that uncle of his who had just advanced to Golden Core recently.”
“I heard that both of them are gravely injured…”
“Also because of this incident, when we went to find Zhang Yuan, the Zhang Family was so busy that he wasn’t in the mood to join us in treasure hunting, which is why we came here…”
“I see, I hope everything is fine with their family…” Lin Jing sighed.
“Yes, if there weren’t Golden Core Immortals to support, I’m afraid that the entire Zhang Family would fall into danger…” Li Tangyu sighed as well.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Lin Jing spoke up and looked at Li Tangyu,
“By the way, Brother Li…”
“I also heard from others that the Demonic Beasts came from the Demon Race Secret Realm, is that so?”
Previously, Lin Jing had only speculated and wasn’t certain whether the Demonic Beasts had indeed come from the Demon Race Secret Realm, and now was a good time to ask Li Tangyu.
After all, Li Tangyu’s grandfather was personally involved.
Li Tangyu then said,
“Indeed, that Demon Cultivator was discovered while exploring the Demon Race Secret Realm.”
“However…”
“My grandfather didn’t tell me the specifics.”
“So, I don’t know much either…”
“I see…” Lin Jing nodded.
“Since that Demon Race Secret Realm is so dangerous, have your grandfather and the other Golden Core Immortals sealed it up again?”
Li Tangyu nodded and said,
“Yes…”
“To prevent similar incidents from happening again, my grandfather and the others have resealed the entrance.”
“And…”
“They have already notified the Qingyuan Sword Sect and plan to hand over the remaining matters to them to handle.”
Having said that, Li Tangyu then let out a sigh,
“Alas…”
“Let’s not talk about those matters anymore.”
“They’re not something we can get involved in…”
“We should still focus on finding the roots and rhizomes of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit.”
“Although the value of the rhizome is not as high as the complete Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, as a third-tier Spirit Plant, it is not low in value.”
“If the conditions are suitable and it can be cultivated, then the value of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit rhizome could be much higher than the fruit itself.”
Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing also nodded in agreement,
“Exactly…”
“It’s more important to look for the rhizome of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit…”
Afterwards…
The group also began to dig through the soil.
During this time, Lin Jing was also earnestly searching for those patches of black soil, but perhaps his luck had run out, for he could not find any more…
Until the sunset slanted west and it was nearing evening, when most of the searching cultivators had left, the group discussed it and then left on their flying swords.
Even as they were leaving, Li Qingqing was still complaining.
“I wonder which lucky sod picked up the rhizome of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit.”
Seeing his sister unhappy, Li Tangyu quickly spoke up to comfort her,
