Chapter 39: Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad (1/2)

The moment Chen Feng entered the area illuminated by the light, he could feel spiritual energy surging forth like tidal waves, all converging upon the nine plants. Next, following the flow of the Nine Palaces formation, they were brewed and nourished, undergoing a series of transformation before being absorbed by the nine plants respectively.

“This is the reason those three from Purplecloud Sky Grotto came here. He he, how unexpected! I have actually found it,” said Chen Feng with a rather surprised tone.

Even an idiot could tell that the fruits born from the plants were Heavenly fruits. As for Chen Feng, he was a cultivator who was about to reach the Concealed stage.

As Chen Feng was about to step forward to pick the fruits, he suddenly stopped. Looking at the spiritual fruits that were so close to him, a trace of hesitation appeared on Chen Feng’s face.

The cultivators who died here obviously came to get these fruits. However, it would appear that none of them could succeed. All of them had died here. Every one of them had cultivation bases far superior to mine, yet all had died. In fact, they failed to even reach these fruits. Given how low my cultivation base is, could I be capable of picking these fruits? Chen Feng thought to himself.

However, to not pick a treasure of this magnitude when it is right in front of me, even Heaven will be displeased with me, no? Seeing the spiritual fruits that were right before his eyes, Chen Feng’s eyes flared with passion once more. He quickly looked around. Seeing no movements, he then cautiously reached out with his hand to pick one of the green-coloured fruits.

Kacha!

A clear sound rang out and the green-coloured fruit rested in Chen Feng’s palm. A fragrant aroma quickly rushed towards his nose and he immediately felt as though every pore on his body was opened. Turbid energy within his body was expelled, giving him a pleasant sensation. Additionally, his head felt clearer as well. He felt as though his body was on the verge of sweeping the fog protecting his sea of wisdom away. At the same time, Chen Feng could sense that some of his acupoints were pulsing with excitement.

“It is so easy to pick the fruit?” Looking at the green-coloured fruit in his hand, Chen Feng felt a sense of disbelief. Many experts had died after coming here. Yet, a little cultivator like him succeeded. Could his luck to so damned good? Chen Feng felt as though he was dreaming. However, the cool sensation on his palm and the waves of fragrance made Chen Feng recollect himself.

“If that is the case, I won’t hesitate anymore.” After saying that, Chen Feng reached out with his hand to pick another green-coloured fruit.

At that moment, Chen Feng was in a rather awkward state. His chest was stocked full with Water Prevention Pearls and Night Clarity Pearls. As for his arms, they were holding onto a bunch of weapons. Both his palms held onto two of the green-coloured fruits each. As Chen Feng was thinking about taking off his outer clothes to wrap them up, a wave of emanations came from behind him. At the same time, Fifth Senior Brother’s voice rang out from under the water.

“Kid! What are you doing? Have you found the item?”

Hearing the voice shocked Chen Feng, who hastily turned around to see an ocean-coloured flying sword floating not far away.

“Greenjade Magic Soulfruit!” Fifth Senior Brother’s shocked voice rang out from the flying sword.

“There are nine of them in total. Excellent! This time, my cultivation base will break through for certain. Kid, you have contributed well. Hurry and pick down the other fruits. Then, follow me up,” said Fifth Senior Brother.

“That…” Chen Feng was somewhat hesitant.

“What? You dare disobey my order? Do you want to die? If that is what you want, I can kill you right now,” said Fifth Senior Brother. Next, the flying sword shone with blue light, seemingly about to shoot towards Chen Feng.

As Chen Feng was about to make his decision, he suddenly saw a red line streak through before his eyes. The red line so fast, the flying sword floating before Chen Feng exploded before he could even react. The resulting shockwave created currents within the surrounding waters and countless undercurrents began flowing. Even Chen Feng, with the protection afforded by the Water Protection Pearls, was tossed around. For a short moment, he found himself incapable of steadying his body.

…

“Pu!”

At the pavilion above the water surface, Fifth Senior Brother’s face turned pale and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His face turned ugly to behold.

“Fifth Senior Brother, what happened to you? What happened down there?” the charming woman hastily asked.

“My lifebound flying sword was destroyed and my divine sense is heavily damaged. However, that kid managed to find the Greenjade Magic Soulfruit.” Having said that, Fifth Senior Brother’s eyes flared with passion.

“What? He actually found the Greenjade Magic Soulfruit?” Both the youngster in blue and the charming woman exclaimed.

“Not good! Someone is coming!” Fifth Senior Brother suddenly said. Despite his injured state, his perception was still above the other two.

“Ha ha ha! How unexpected! Someone arrived before us!” A wild voice rang out from deep within the fog. Next, three tall cultivators in strange attires and savage faces burst through the fog as they flew forward. There were outrageously shaped machetes on their shoulders and their faces were painted with strange pictures. One glance was sufficient to tell that there were heretical cultivators.

“They are from Evil Moon Grotto,” the youngster in blue hastily said.

“Ha ha ha, not just Evil Moon Grotto! Our Dark Light Island is here as well!” Suddenly, another voice rang out from within the thick fog.

“Not good! So many people have come. Hurry, go under water and get the Greenjade Magic Soulfruit!” After saying that, Fifth Senior Brother’s whole body shone with light. The light quickly formed a sphere of light, which protected him. Then, he immediately charged into the water.

The youngster in blue and the charming woman exchanged glances. Then, they released a flow of sword energy from between their eye brows, using them to wrap over themselves before following Fifth Senior Brother down the pool.
