48: Chapter 48 What is this silly boy waiting for?
Cherry Fall's delicate body shuddered violently, and she sat down on the ground with a thud, her eyes filled with shock!
She knew that this spirit fruit was inherently a Heaven-Defying object and difficult to obtain, but she truly hadn't expected it to be this difficult!
It didn't matter for her, but what about her mother?
What Jiang Lan said was the truth; he wasn't intentionally trying to provoke Cherry Fall. He was just frustrated. This silly girl was usually so bright and intelligent, so why was she so foolish when it really mattered?
She knew full well that they were setting a trap for her, yet she insisted on jumping right into it.
Cherry Fall's delicate body shuddered, and she slumped to the ground, beginning to cry.
In truth, ever since entering the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm, she had realized that it was almost impossible to find the spirit fruit, and even if she did, it was unlikely she would make it out alive. She had simply been clinging to fantasies, unwilling to face reality.
It wasn't until Jiang Lan shattered all her illusions just now that Cherry Fall's psychological defenses finally collapsed. She realized that not only could she not save her mother, but she would also likely die in the Secret Realm without being able to leave, and she probably wouldn't even get to see her mother one last time!
"Forget it! Although the hundred-year spirit fruit is very difficult to find in this Ancient Desolate Secret Realm, it just so happens that while I don't have a hundred-year spirit fruit here, I do have a ten thousand year spirit fruit. I can give one to your mother."
"What use is a ten thousand year spirit fruit to me? I'm looking for a hundred-year..." Wait? This Young Master said he has a ten thousand year spirit fruit?
The Ancestral Master had said that the ten thousand year spirit fruit had long since gone extinct, and it could increase her mother's Lifespan by 200 years!
"Do you really have a ten thousand year spirit fruit?" Cherry Fall's beautiful face, tear-stained like pear blossoms in the rain, was filled with surprise! It was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw!
"Why don't you come with me and see for yourself?"
Jiang Lan understood Cherry Fall's temperament too well; if she didn't see it with her own eyes, this girl would likely refuse to believe it no matter what.
He owed Cherry Fall too much in his past life, so even if it cost him his life, he would protect her safety in this life. Naturally, Jiang Lan would not hold anything back from her.
In his past life, Cherry Fall was tortured for three days and three nights, yet until the very end, she didn't reveal a single word to the green tea bitch Su Yutong and her rich second-generation boyfriend.
Jiang Lan used the concealment ring to set up a Concealment Formation, then brought Cherry Fall with him as they stepped into the Small World of the immortal ring.
"Wow, how beautiful! What is this place? The Spiritual Qi is so dense!"
A naive and sweet smile finally appeared on Cherry Fall's pretty face again, just like when Jiang Lan first met her in his past life!
"This is an independent Small World, and it is located inside the green ring I am wearing on my hand. Look quickly! These are the ancient spirit plant."
Cherry Fall looked in the direction of Jiang Lan's finger and was frozen in place. She saw a vast expanse of ancient spirit plant growing lush and green, with each plant bearing three ten thousand year spirit fruit, emitting a rich, fragrant scent of spirit fruit.
"Hey, silly girl, have you seen enough? Do you believe me now? The ten thousand year spirit fruit isn't the problem; the main problem now is how we are going to get out alive! We have remaining..."
Before Jiang Lan could finish his sentence, Cherry Fall wept with joy and threw herself into Jiang Lan's arms, sobbing.
In his past life, Jiang Lan never had the chance to create a character in advance, so he had never hugged Cherry Fall, nor had he even held her hand.
'So soft~ so fragrant~ so sweet~' This was Jiang Lan's first time having close physical contact with a female, and the subtle feeling was indescribable.
After a while, Cherry Fall's emotions finally calmed down. Suddenly! Ding dong!

This time, Jiang Lan didn't have the urge to greet the game developers and their entire families; instead, he felt a bit grateful. After all, the person he had thought of day and night in his past life was now standing in front of him again, and he finally had the chance to bind Cherry Fall once more.
In truth, Jiang Lan had imagined many different scenarios for meeting Cherry Fall again, but he really hadn't expected this current situation. However, regardless of how it happened, the result was good!
Jiang Lan's hands trembled slightly as he chose γ Spend 2,888,888 Yuan to permanently bind the Cherry Fall character. After binding, you will not be able to bind other characters (each player can bind at most two game characters). γ He was just too excited!
Ding dong! γ system prompt: Congratulations, the Shushan Disciples Cherry Fall has been successfully bound! Do you want to view the attribute panel of Cherry Fall now? γ
Jiang Lan opened Cherry Fall's attribute panel. Name: Cherry Fall. Age: 19. Height: 170. Three Measurements: γ 92, 62, 90 γ. Spiritual Root: Low-grade Fire Spiritual Root. Physique: Mortal Physique. Realm: Tenth Layer of Qi Refining (Realm is unstable). Identity: Outer Sect Disciple of Shu Mountain. Status: Afflicted with the deadly poison of the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm, 27 days of life remaining.
Immediately after, ding dong! γ system prompt: The clothes of your bound character are too worn out. Would you like to purchase: γ
γ Spend 6,888 Yuan to purchase the Phoenix Cry Immortal Garment Β· Immortal Rank Set. γ
γ Spend 3,888 Yuan to purchase the Red Lotus Battle Robe Β· Divine-Grade Set. γ
γ Spend 588 Yuan to purchase the Crimson Lotus Spirit Garment * High Grade. γ
γ Spend 0 Yuan to not purchase. γ
Perhaps because Jiang Lan felt he owed Cherry Fall too much in his past life, he chose without hesitation to γ Spend 6,888 Yuan to purchase the Phoenix Cry Immortal Garment Β· Immortal Rank Set. γ
6,888 Yuan was deducted from Jiang Lan's account, and a Phoenix Cry Immortal Garment Β· Immortal Rank Set appeared in his hand.
Jiang Lan took a look at the Phoenix Cry Immortal Garment Β· Immortal Rank Set, and "hiss~" he instantly gasped in shock.
Name: Phoenix Cry Immortal Garment Β· Immortal Rank Set. Quality: Golden Core Stage Top Grade. Characteristic: No level restriction. Description: Defense increased by 500%, Attack increased by 50%, Attack Speed increased by 100%.
'This garment only cost 6,888 Yuan; it's such a good deal. If I had known, I would have bought one for Qian Luo too. This is way too conscientious!'
A 500% increase in defense is indeed quite broken. On the battlefield, survival is the most important thing; as long as you can stay alive, there is always a possibility of a comeback.
With the 500% defense bonus, and by stacking some defense attributes from other equipment, Cultivators of the same rank wouldn't even be able to break through the defense! Being invincible among those of the same rank is not impossible!
The 50% attack power boost is also truly too broken. Whether it's swinging a sword, casting a skill, or unleashing a Talismanic Incantation, all damage is increased by 50%.
It's like, if you were to unleash a Late Stage Nascent Soul Talismanic Incantation, by wearing this garment, you could deal damage equivalent to an Early Stage Soul Transformation. Wouldn't you call that broken?
At the same time, the attack speed is also increased by 100%. Combined with the 50% attack power bonus, it's truly a bit broken.
The most critical point is that, just like the North Underworld immortal sword, it is equipment with no level restrictions, which means Cherry Fall can wear it right now!
This game is so much fun; I want to top up and keep playing!
Jiang Lan was about to hand the Phoenix Cry Immortal Garment Β· Immortal Rank Set to Cherry Fall, letting her change into it in this Small World, but he felt that something didn't seem quite right. However, he couldn't immediately recall exactly what it was!
An old man with a lecherous face and white hair and beard was hiding in a towering tree, jumping up and down in anxiety.
"Change into it! You should let her change into the new clothes! These clothes are so great; what is this silly boy still waiting for?"
