422: Ten Thousand Years Red Fruit

Yuan Ba Tian lowered his head and fell into memories. After a while, he said, “Master, my mother was defeated here by someone who descended from the sky, just like you, without a word. My mother fought to the death to buy me time to escape, but in the end, she was still taken away by that person. I remember that person was wearing a black robe and a half-mask on his face, looking quite mysterious.”

Lin Feng was curious and asked, “When did this happen?”

Yuan Ba Tian tilted his head, thought hard, and said in a childish voice, “Master, that was probably twenty thousand years ago. I was very young then, and I only remember my mother fighting desperately with that person to protect me.”

Lin Feng nodded. Twenty thousand years ago, it might have been Cultivators who came to the Heavenly Spirit Realm like him before. It seemed that in this Heavenly Spirit Realm, there were not only Opportunities but also dangers. Lin Feng secretly became vigilant. He knew that he had to be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He looked at Yuan Ba Tian and slowly said, “Yuan Ba Tian, don’t worry, I will help you find your mother. However, this matter has been a long time ago. After I take you out of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, we will slowly search for your mother. Before that, you will stay with me, and I will treat you like family.”

Yuan Ba Tian’s eyes sparkled with gratitude. He nodded heavily, indicating that he was willing to follow Lin Feng and would serve him loyally.

Lin Feng felt a warm current in his heart as he looked at Yuan Ba Tian. He knew that he had gained another loyal companion. He patted Yuan Ba Tian’s head and said, “Alright, Yuan Ba Tian, let’s go back to the Spiritual Spring now. Xiao Ying is still Cultivating there.”

Yuan Ba Tian’s figure flickered and transformed into a ray of light, drilling into Lin Feng’s Spirit Beast Pouch. Lin Feng smiled slightly and turned to fly towards the Spiritual Spring.

Before long, he returned to the Spiritual Spring. Xiao Ying was still Cultivating with her eyes closed in the Spiritual Spring, emitting a faint glow, clearly absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Spring.

Lin Feng watched Xiao Ying and also Cultivated nearby. A year later, the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Spring became thin, and Lin Feng and Xiao Ying woke up from their Cultivation. At this time, Xiao Ying’s Void Refining Realm had finally stabilized.

Lin Feng released Yuan Ba Tian, letting the two creatures get acquainted. Xiao Ying looked at Yuan Ba Tian’s huge body with curiosity, while Yuan Ba Tian looked at Xiao Ying’s cute appearance with tenderness.

Yuan Ba Tian, being a Body Integration Realm Yao Beast, which was a whole major Realm higher than Xiao Ying, took the initiative to greet her. He walked up to Xiao Ying, patted her shoulder, and told her, “From now on, follow your Sister Ba Tian. Sister will take you to enjoy the finest things.” After saying that, he proudly patted his chest.

Xiao Ying’s mouth curved slightly, revealing a cute smile. Although she was still young, having followed Lin Feng for many years, she understood basic social etiquette. She immediately said, “Sister Ba Tian, then I will trouble you to take good care of me from now on.”

Yuan Ba Tian laughed heartily, put an arm around Xiao Ying’s shoulder, and said, “Don’t worry, little brother, follow Sister, and I will definitely let you enjoy the finest things and not suffer any grievances.”

Xiao Ying was a little breathless from Yuan Ba Tian’s embrace, but a smile still hung on her face. She knew that although Yuan Ba Tian looked fierce, he was kind-hearted and a friend worth making.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel happy watching this scene. He knew that he had gained two more loyal companions. He patted Yuan Ba Tian’s shoulder and said, “Alright, Yuan Ba Tian, let’s leave here first. You are familiar with this place; do you have any recommendations for us?”

Yuan Ba Tian immediately became excited upon hearing this. He looked a bit hesitant, and Lin Feng was already impatient before Yuan Ba Tian finally said to Lin Feng, “I have an old rival. We fight every once in a while. He is on a mountain three million li away from here. He has a Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree there. This fruit is very beneficial for Body Refining, not only able to improve Cultivation but also enhance Physical Body strength. I have always wanted to get it, but that guy’s strength is comparable to mine, so I haven’t been able to succeed. Master, would you like to go and see?”

Lin Feng’s eyes immediately flashed with a brilliant light. A Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree, that was an extremely rare spiritual item, which would undoubtedly be of great help to his current Realm. Moreover, since Yuan Ba Tian’s old rival possessed such a treasure, his strength would certainly not be weak. With him and Yuan Ba Tian acting together, it should not be a problem.

Therefore, Lin Feng nodded and said, “Alright, we will go and meet your old rival and see who the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree will ultimately belong to.”

Yuan Ba Tian’s eyes flashed with excitement. He knew that Lin Feng’s strength was formidable, and with his help, he would surely be able to defeat that old rival and obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree this time.

Lin Feng smiled slightly at Yuan Ba Tian’s excited look and said, “Alright, Yuan Ba Tian, let’s prepare first, and then we’ll set off.”

Yuan Ba Tian nodded repeatedly and immediately began to get busy, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Lin Feng also quietly Cultivated nearby, adjusting his state to ensure he could exert his maximum strength in battle.

Soon after, the three were ready to go and flew towards the direction where Yuan Ba Tian’s old rival was located.

Along the way, Yuan Ba Tian continuously told Lin Feng about his old rival and the miraculous aspects of the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree, filling Lin Feng with anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Finally, after flying for two hours, they arrived before a continuous mountain range. These mountains soared into the clouds, like the backbone of heaven and earth, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.

Yuan Ba Tian looked at the mountains ahead, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He stopped and turned to Lin Feng, saying, “Master, that is the Yao Beast’s territory ahead. We must proceed with caution.”

Lin Feng nodded, signaling Yuan Ba Tian to continue. They cautiously moved through the crevices of the mountain range, avoiding being discovered by the Yao Beast.

Before long, they arrived in a hidden valley. In the valley, a huge fruit tree grew, covered with bright red fruits, emitting an enticing aroma. This was indeed the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree!

Yuan Ba Tian looked at the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit Tree before him, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. But he also knew that he could not act rashly at this time, otherwise, once the Yao Beast was alerted, the consequences would be unimaginable.
