The group from the Da Lou Sword Sect moved very fast. They didn't stop at all as they followed the directions Qian Qin gave them.
Along the way, if they met any demonic beasts, the two early stage Soul Transformation elders would just need to send out a seal and they would immediately disappear. In Qian Qin's eyes, the extremely powerful demonic beasts that her sect had spent so much effort to defeat were killed so easily. This scene made her feel even more bitter.
She vaguely accepted her fate. If she could only obtain one Brilliant Golden Fruit, then it would be fine.
As for Guo Xingyi, he was very attentive along the way and kept talking to Qian Qin. It was clear he wanted to repair their relationship. Qian Qin was helpless. After seeing how powerful the Da Lou Sword Sect was, she could only feign civility and endure the humiliation.
Guo Xingyi's martial uncle, the Soul Formation elder, would occasionally look at Qian Qin's beautiful body. His eyes gradually revealed a strange light.
From the outside, everything looked calm. Even if they met some powerful demonic beasts, the two early stage Soul Transformation elders would easily deal with them.
However, after entering this place, the most nervous people were the two Da Lou Sword Sect elders!
This wasn't the first time the two of them had entered the Northern Demon Earth Realm, but this was the strangest time they had ever been here!
When they first entered, they didn't have this kind of feeling, but as they went deeper, an oppressive feeling that could make one collapse slowly and silently surrounded their surroundings.
Others might not be able to feel this, but the two early stage Soul Transformation elders from the Da Lou Sword Sect felt it very clearly.
It was as if there had always been a pair of eyes watching them, but when he used his Divine Sense to check, he found nothing more than once, as if all of this was an illusion.
"We haven't entered the depths of the Northern Demon Earth Realm, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Desolate Beasts. However, this feeling is very clear. Why is it?"
Behind everyone, the two Da Lou Sword Sect elders' expressions were normal, but their hearts were extremely depressed. They talked to each other with their divine sense.
"Perhaps some sort of unforeseen event has occurred in the Northern Earth Demon Region. Although that feeling has been present for the past dozen plus days, nothing has happened despite the fact that the two of us have tested it many times. It is likely that this feeling is not only directed at the two of us."
"Forget it. This place is too strange. Once this trip is over, we should leave as soon as possible. Every second that passes in this place makes it difficult for me to breathe. It's as if ten thousand mountains are pressing down on me, and I feel like I'm about to collapse. I have the urge to kill someone. I've never felt this way since I entered the Deification Stage!"
"Eh?
Do you also have the urge to kill?
When I was killing the Bitter Shadow Beast earlier, I almost lost control of this feeling. Shi Fang, there's definitely something wrong with this place. Why don't we leave now? "The short old man paused when he heard this. His eyes flickered as he quickly sent a voice transmission.
Old Man Shi was silent for a moment. He looked at the junior in front of him and shook his head slightly. He sent a voice transmission, "We've already traveled so far. There are less than three days left.
We just have to speed up!
The two of them looked at each other. Then they silently pondered and continued on their way.
The group of people leading the way, including the Soul Formation old man, didn't notice the panic coming from the two powerful cultivators behind them. They still felt like their journey had been very smooth.
Brilliant Golden Fruit. This fruit can't be eaten; it is a refining material. After using this fruit, it can make any metal-type object even more powerful. The more it is used, the more powerful it becomes.
Rumor has it that the Da Lou Sword Sect's Sword Saint Ling Tianhou's four illusory swords were refined from a large amount of Brilliant Golden Fruit. However, the amount he used was unimaginable, which was why he was able to refine these four peerless swords!
The Brilliant Golden Fruit grows in a very strange environment; it doesn't have a specific location. To be more accurate, it is formed from the origin metal of the world, and it can grow anywhere in the world.
Once it grows, it will initially look no different from a normal fruit. However, once it takes shape, it will change and be filled with a large amount of metal-type aura.
After it matures, it can wither for a long or short period of time. It can be as short as a few breaths, or as long as a few months. There is no pattern to this, and even if there was one, no one knew of it.
Once the fruit ripened, it would attract the attention of a metal-type Spirit Beast, which would then turn into a guardian beast and protect the Brilliant Golden Fruits. After the Brilliant Golden Fruits naturally wilted, these wilted fruits would fuse with the roots and form a metal-type Spirit Root. If a Spirit Beast were to swallow this root, it would greatly increase its intelligence and benefit it greatly.
However, if the Brilliant Golden Fruit is taken while it's guarding the root, it will affect the metal-type spirit root. If too many are taken, the metal-type spirit root won't be able to form.
After the people from the Da Lou Sword Sect left, Wang Lin's figure silently appeared on top of the mosquito beast. His gaze was calm as he looked at where the people from the Da Lou Sword Sect disappeared to and casually followed behind them.
The people from the Da Lou Sword Sect moved a lot faster, perhaps because of the sense of danger the two elders felt in their hearts. The three-day journey was shortened to one and a half days, and they directly passed by.
At this moment, the woman leading the way, Gan Qin, pointed to a place in front of her and softly said, "Two months ago, junior's sect found the Brilliant Golden Fruit here!"
Everyone's gazes followed the direction she was pointing at.
At this moment, they were at the intersection of two mountain ranges. There was a valley in the middle that was very quiet without any sound.
There were many rotting leaves on the ground that gave off an unpleasant smell.
Looking over, there was a trace of golden light coming from the valley. However, there were many trees blocking the entrance of the valley, so it was impossible to see what it was.
After Gan Qin finished speaking, she took a few steps back and no longer spoke.
The two elders from the Da Lou Sword Sect looked at each other. The taller elder took two steps forward, formed a seal with his right hand, and pressed his palm forward.
Suddenly, a powerful celestial spiritual energy condensed before him. It turned into a celestial wind that blew into the valley.
As the celestial wind swept by, the rotting leaves on the ground dissipated, revealing the ground that was buried underneath.
As for the trees blocking his line of sight at the entrance of the valley, they silently turned into dust and scattered in all directions.
A straight passageway suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
At the end of the tunnel was the valley. There were many weeds on the ground of the valley. However, everyone's gazes were immediately focused on the western part of the valley, on a large patch of blooming golden flowers amidst the weeds.
There wasn't just one golden flower, but a large patch. At a glance, there were no less than 10 of them, and they were all competing with each other in full bloom.
Under the large patch of flowers were thumb-sized, oval-shaped fruits. These fruits were dark gold and had many granular spots on them. At first glance, these small fruits were connected to each other like grapes. There was nothing special about them; they were very ordinary, no different from wild fruits.
"Brilliant Golden Fruit!
It really is the Brilliant Golden Fruit! "
When the two elders from the Da Lou Sword Sect saw the fruit, their eyes lit up. The two of them didn't immediately enter the valley. Instead, they carefully examined the valley. In the end, their gazes landed on a patch of grass one foot away from the Brilliant Golden Fruit.
There were a few withered yellow leaves on top of the weeds. At first glance, there was nothing special about them. After all, withered yellow leaves could be found everywhere in this valley. However, at this moment, there was a breeze that came from an unknown place. The wind swirled in the valley, bringing with it a slight rustling of the weeds.
As the grass rustled, all of the yellow leaves in the valley trembled and moved with the wind. However, it was the movement of the leaves that caused the people outside the valley to suck in a breath of cold air.
The moment the wind rose and fluttered, a large patch of densely packed red dots appeared behind the countless withered leaves. These red dots were motionless, as if they had grown completely under the orange leaves.
The Da Lou Sword Sect elder Shi Fang's expression was gloomy as he calmly said, "Nine Li Insect …" Then he looked at the short elder beside him.
"100 Brilliant Golden Fruits will naturally be guarded by fierce beasts, so it is not strange for there to be Nine Li Insect!
However, to deal with this insect, we will need two catalyst herbs! "
The short elder's eyes lit up as he looked at Gan Qin and the young man in white. He revealed a cruel smile.
At this moment, no one noticed that a ferocious figure was floating in the air 10,000 feet behind them. There was a person sitting on the back of that ferocious figure. That person's gaze was cold, without the slightest hint of warmth.
"This item is clearly a metal spirit root, so why is it called the Brilliant Golden Fruit? I believe these people don't know how to use it and think that this fruit is the best part of it. They don't know that compared to the metal spirit root, this fruit is simply insignificant!"
Wang Lin's eyes were like lightning. Although the name Brilliant Golden Fruit was unfamiliar to him, seeing it now reminded him of something from Tu Si's memories.
Since this fruit was formed from the five element origin gold, it had existed for a long time. In Tu Si's memories, the greatest benefit of this fruit was that after consuming the metal spirit root, it would make one's body even stronger.
To the young God of Luck, this item was a rare supplement.
While Wang Lin was pondering, he suddenly looked down at the mosquito beast below him. The mosquito beast's body was glowing milky white as it stared at the Brilliant Golden Fruit in the valley 10,000 feet away. It revealed a strong desire for it.
Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat. He patted the mosquito beast's head with his right hand. The mosquito beast turned around to look at Wang Lin. When it saw Wang Lin nod at it, its eyes lit up with excitement. It turned around and continued to stare at the Brilliant Golden Fruit. This time, its eyes were filled with determination.
"Could this fruit have some special effect on the mosquito beast …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up.
