618: Search

“Your subordinate understands. I will go and give the orders now.”

The white-haired old man nodded, then turned and left.

After he left,

Dongfang Ruo began to search for a page of the immortal book.

At the same time, on the other side,

Fifth Prince Dongfang Chen led his people, continuously exploring within the Secret Realm.

However, at this moment,

a woman who had been close to him couldn't help but lean over and ask,

“Your Highness the Fifth Prince, your subordinate knows about your transaction with The two members of the Wang family.”

“That is, if a heavenly spirit fruit is truly found, do you really plan to hand them over to the Wang Family?”

As these words came out, many Cultivators present all looked at the Fifth Prince.

They were clearly quite curious about this matter.

After all, they had risked their lives to enter the Great Luo Secret Realm.

Naturally, they hoped to gain something.

And before this, they naturally didn't dare to covet a treasure like the heavenly spirit fruit.

But now, if His Highness the Fifth Prince didn't need it, was it possible he would bestow it upon them?

After all, giving it to The two members of the Wang family could at most be considered giving it to outsiders.

Giving it to them, while also outsiders, if converted into combat power, they would be considered their own people.

Comparatively, their priority was higher than that of The two members of the Wang family.

If they could obtain a heavenly spirit fruit,

they would naturally be able to immediately reach the Mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

Such a temptation was indeed not small.

Of course, besides this, there was another reason.

That was, they were the ones who searched for the heavenly spirit fruit.

Although they were considered subordinates of His Highness the Prince.

But as long as it was found and handed over to His Highness the Fifth Prince, would His Highness the Prince not give any reward?

This itself was a result of symbiotic interests.

But if the heavenly spirit fruit was found but needed to be handed over to The two members of the Wang family,

then, if His Highness the Prince himself didn't gain any profit, would he still give them a reward?

This was clearly an unlikely scenario.

Therefore, everyone was very concerned about this matter.

Dongfang Chen, who was being watched by everyone, heard these words and smiled slightly.

“What I find, of course, I will hand over to them.”

“But if it’s not what I found, how can I hand it over to them?”

When these words were spoken, they sounded ordinary at first listen.

But everyone present was an astute person.

Coupled with Dongfang Chen's strange smile,

everyone immediately reacted.

In other words, only the spirit source fruit that Dongfang Chen himself found and handled would be given to others, and if it was found by them, then there would naturally be no need to hand it over.

Upon realizing this point, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Dongfang Chen didn't pay much attention to this.

After all, they were his subordinates.

Although they had always worked for him, he also wanted to have absolute decision-making power.

However, one cannot expect a horse to run without feeding it grass.

He needed to give them some benefits, otherwise, these people might not even bother to search for the spirit source fruit.

Then what would be the point of handing it over to The two members of the Wang family?

Moreover, for an Opportunity of this level, if he were to give it away for free, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Now, he only needed to give a promise.

His subordinates would then work hard on their own.

And he also had a reasonable way to avoid giving up the Opportunity.

Of course, none of this was important.

For him, what was truly important was the task his imperial father had left him.

That was to find that page of the immortal book.

As long as he could succeed, what did it matter if he wasted more spirit source fruit?

After some discussion, Dongfang Chen and his group continued their search.

At the same time, on the other side,

Wang Yan and Wang Gou were also exploring along the way.

However, due to their lack of information about the Great Luo Secret Realm,

they were scurrying around like headless flies.

But they still hadn't found any trace of the spirit source fruit.

They hadn't even found some relatively rare Spirit Medicine.

As time passed, both of them frowned.

They were clearly not satisfied with their current gains.

After all, they had experienced many hardships and dangers along the way.

They had even undergone the test of the grand competition at the very beginning.

Although the grand competition posed no difficulty for them,

it still wasted a lot of time.

And now, they hadn't gained any benefits.

No matter what, no one would accept this situation.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but look at Wang Gou.

“What should we do?”

“This Great Luo Secret Realm is neither too big nor too small. If we were to conduct a carpet search of the areas involved in the Secret Realm's center, we might not gain anything until the Secret Realm ends.”

“It's a pity. If we had followed the Fifth Prince to search back then, we would probably have gotten a lot of good things.”

When Wang Yan said this, he sounded a little regretful.

Although he didn't mean to blame Wang Gou, his words implied that the current situation was not good.

Hearing this, Wang Gou first raised an eyebrow.

Then he gently shook his head.

“I know what you're thinking, but is this truly important to us?”

“What do you mean?”

Wang Yan was immediately attracted by his words, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Then he leaned closer.

Wang Gou smiled slightly.

“Indeed, our initial purpose in entering the Great Luo Secret Realm was to find the spirit source fruit, which would allow us to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage True Immortal Realm without any cost.”

“Even if we don't use it ourselves, we can use it for the younger generation of our Family.”

“But have you noticed something?”

“That Fifth Prince doesn't seem to have taken this thing seriously from beginning to end.”

“Of course, that's not entirely accurate. More precisely, he should have more important things to do upon entering the Secret Realm. If I'm not mistaken, he must be searching for the spirit source fruit while also doing that extremely important thing, which is searching for that most important item.”

Wang Yan's eyes lit up.

“Then shouldn't we follow them even more closely?”

“Wrong, wrong, wrong.”

Wang Gou explained, “If we truly follow them, it means we will completely lose any chance.”

“I think they themselves don't know where the thing they are looking for is, because if they really knew, they would have gone straight there as soon as they entered, instead of making their way through thorns and thistles to the center of this Secret Realm like us.”

“Perhaps, it's also because that item is in the center of the Secret Realm, otherwise, they wouldn't have brought up parting ways with us only after arriving here.”

“However, this also indirectly proves that although they have internal information about the Great Luo Secret Realm, it's not comprehensive.”

“If they really had definite news about such a precious item, they certainly wouldn't have waited for us to enter.”
