776: Fisherman?

In Wang Chen's opinion, these Holy Land Disciples all had Restrictions on them; they could engage in verbal sparring, but a direct life-and-death fight was absolutely impossible.

Under these circumstances, although Zhao Tianci found Bai Yuliang displeasing and was inferior in status to him, despite his arrogant and profligate nature, he wouldn't be so brainless as to willingly offer his face up for a beating.

Zhao Tianci and Xie Wudao's arrival in Green Field Town, or rather, the Demon Beast Forest, must have had other reasons.

Moreover...

The pedestrian traffic in Green Field Town today was abnormal, several times the usual number, and the proportion of strong cultivators among them was even more exaggerated.

Just now, when he was fighting Xie Wudao outside, Wang Chen had already sensed over ten cultivators above the Eighth Stage extending their perceptive tentacles.

Although the Demon Beast Forest was rich in resources, it was absolutely impossible to attract so many strong cultivators.

At least ten or more cultivators of the Eighth Stage, plus an even greater number of Seventh Stage cultivators—this combined force could wipe out a weaker first-rate power in the Netherworld.

"Senior possesses a Wisdom Eye as bright as a torch."

Bai Yuliang was surprised by the words but didn't show it, instead saying respectfully, "Zhao Tianci and Xie Wudao are here likely because of the message released by the Tianji Pavilion."

"And it's not just Zhao Tianci and Xie Wudao; many strong cultivators have come here in the past few days because of this."

"Hm?"

"Tianji Pavilion?"

Hearing Bai Yuliang's words, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He naturally knew about the Tianji Pavilion, the most mysterious power under the Eight Great Sacred Grounds of the Netherworld Human Clan.

The Netherworld books he had read these past few days all mentioned the Tianji Pavilion, describing its divination as unparalleled and its ability to foresee the future.

Of course, as for what those books said about the Tianji Pavilion being able to predict five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future, with everything in the world unable to escape its deductions...

Wang Chen didn't believe a single word!

If the Tianji Pavilion were truly that formidable, it wouldn't be subservient to the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, and the Netherworld wouldn't be in its current state.

In his opinion, the Tianji Pavilion was more like an organization that sold various intelligence information.

At this moment, Bai Yuliang continued to explain:

"Senior, according to the Tianji Pavilion's deductions, the four spirits divine fruit will appear deep within the Demon Beast Forest."

"This four spirits divine fruit has the miraculous effect of helping to cleanse the Divine Soul, strengthen the Foundation, and enhance the physique, and it can even increase the success rate for Peak Eighth Stage cultivators to Breakthrough to the Ninth Stage by thirty percent."

"The entire Northern Region has been stirred up, with countless strong cultivators flocking here, hoping to obtain the four spirits divine fruit."

"Zhao Tianci and Xie Wudao are not the strongest among these cultivators; this Junior has heard that even renowned Peak Eighth Stage cultivators who have been famous for a long time have come here, including those with powerful backing like Li Qingcang of the Li family."

"Of course, all of these are insignificant compared to Senior."

After listening to Bai Yuliang, Wang Chen's expression became strange.

It was normal for treasures to appear and attract strong cultivators from all sides to contend for them.

However, the fact that the news came from the Tianji Pavilion made it somewhat unusual.

Moreover, although Wang Chen didn't know what the four spirits divine fruit was, judging by its effects, it was definitely a precious Heaven And Earth Treasure that could increase attributes.

For such a valuable item, even if the Tianji Pavilion didn't keep it for themselves, if they sold the news of its appearance, the buyers would absolutely guard it tightly and not reveal a single detail.

Now, the news was spreading like wildfire...

It looked suspiciously like a trap.

"Is this news reliable?"

"The appearance of a treasure usually causes a grand phenomenon. We've been in the Demon Beast Forest for the past few days and haven't detected any movement. Haven't others suspected that the Tianji Pavilion released this news with ulterior motives?"

Looking at Bai Yuliang, Wang Chen asked indifferently.

Hearing his words, Bai Yuliang smiled and said,

"Senior worries too much. The Tianji Pavilion's news has never been wrong for hundreds of years. Moreover, this time it wasn't them who actively released it; someone snuck into the Tianji Pavilion to steal it, and when they were cornered by the Tianji Pavilion's pursuit, they leaked it."

"Is that so?"

Wang Chen nodded upon hearing this, a slight interest sparking in him.

He was currently in need of such Heaven And Earth Treasure that could enhance attributes, so since there was relevant news, he definitely had to investigate.

However, despite his interest, Wang Chen did not let down his guard.

"Is there a definite date for the appearance of this four spirits divine fruit?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen asked Bai Yuliang.

"According to the news this Junior has received, the four spirits divine fruit will appear within these two days. Many strong cultivators have already set off today to enter the Demon Beast Forest."

Seeing that Wang Chen was interested in the four spirits divine fruit, Bai Yuliang was not surprised.

Although in his eyes, Senior Wang Chen was already a Ninth Stage cultivator, perhaps even a Middle Stage Ninth Stage, so the four spirits divine fruit would be useless to him.

But how could such a powerful cultivator be alone? He would certainly have Juniors or Disciples to look after.

Moreover...

Bai Yuliang himself also greatly desired this four spirits divine fruit. Whether it was for cleansing the Divine Soul, strengthening the Foundation and physique, or increasing the thirty percent chance of Breakthrough to the Ninth Stage, it held immense benefit for him.

Furthermore, in Bai Yuliang's opinion, as long as Senior Wang Chen made a move, none of the cultivators vying for the four spirits divine fruit would stand a chance against him.

"Is Senior interested in this four spirits divine fruit? This Junior has detailed information from the Tianji Pavilion here and would be willing to act as Senior's guide."

Looking at Wang Chen, Bai Yuliang said with expectant eyes.

"I am somewhat interested. Why, do you want it too?"

Wang Chen saw through Bai Yuliang's thoughts at a glance and asked directly.

"Senior's insight is sharp. This Junior indeed has an urgent need for this four spirits divine fruit."

"If Senior obtains the four spirits divine fruit and intends to sell it, this Junior would like to acquire one."

Facing Wang Chen's inquiry, Bai Yuliang did not hide his thoughts.

"If there are enough four spirits divine fruit, selling one to you is no problem."

Wang Chen nodded, giving Bai Yuliang a promise.

For Heaven And Earth Treasure that can enhance attributes, the number of times one can consume them is limited, or rather, consuming too much will lead to resistance.

He and Bai Yuliang had cooperated well during this period. If it truly became useless to him, selling one would be fine, as he would eventually need to exchange it for resources anyway.

"Thank you, Senior."

Bai Yuliang was overjoyed upon hearing this and bowed respectfully.

Heaven And Earth Treasure like the four spirits divine fruit have always been priceless, belonging to scarce resources that cannot be bought even with spirit stones.

Wang Chen's willingness to sell it was a great favor to Bai Yuliang!

Moreover, in Bai Yuliang's opinion, obtaining the four spirits divine fruit was now a certainty.

With Senior Wang Chen's strength, once he made a move, the other contenders would absolutely have no chance.

"Senior, the four spirits divine fruit will appear within these two days. Many strong cultivators have already gone to the center of the Demon Beast Forest. When do you think we should set off?"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Bai Yuliang asked.
