284: Chapter 284 The Immaculate Fruit is in Hand

Gu Changan received Elder Ku Chan's Storage Pouch but was in no hurry to check it.

Instead, he slowly landed on the mountaintop, watching the commotion from afar.

Gu Changan noticed Elder Ku Chan's gaze glancing toward his direction from time to time.

It seemed he needed to quickly resolve the Divine Soul Restriction on the Storage Pouch.

Normally, if Elder Ku Chan died, the Divine Soul Restriction on the Storage Pouch would automatically disappear.

But now, it would likely take some effort.

Gu Changan held the Storage Pouch in his hand and began to fiddle with it.

While doing so, he used his powerful Golden Core Stage Divine Sense to wear down Elder Ku Chan's Divine Soul mark on the Storage Pouch.

This action did not attract any attention.

Cultivators continued to arrive one after another.

However, no one dared to step forward, except for those in the Late Golden Core Stage who relied on their higher cultivation.

They squeezed toward Elder Ku Chan's side, intending to get a share of the spoils.

The two Golden Core Stage Cultivators who noticed the missing Storage Pouch silently stopped their actions.

Then they slowly faded out of the Aura range of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators' battle.

However, their eyes kept scanning the surroundings, looking for who had fled.

Gu Changan's Golden Core Stage Divine Sense was two or three times that of a normal Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

Wearing down a Divine Soul mark on a Storage Pouch was a piece of cake.

As soon as Gu Changan succeeded, Elder Ku Chan, who was being mobbed in the middle, felt another pang of Divine Soul pain and suffered a backlash.

The shields around him immediately dissipated.

Several Golden Core Stage Cultivators seized the opportunity and easily finished off Elder Ku Chan.

Finally, as Elder Ku Chan died a miserable death, he looked toward Gu Changan's direction with a crazed smile in his eyes.

He knew his Storage Pouch had been stolen, but as long as it wasn't the few people around him, it was fine!

Lucky little thief!

Elder Ku Chan closed his eyes unwillingly.

Then, the Golden Core Stage Cultivators who had mobbed him began to step forward to search for the Storage Pouch.

Only to find that the piece of clothing there was gone.

They shouted there, "Where is the Storage Pouch?"

"Who took it?"

"Hand it over quickly!"

As they spoke, the few of them began to size each other up, all suspecting that the others had done it.

Only the two Golden Core Stage Cultivators standing aside had mocking expressions on their faces.

These fools, the Storage Pouch had long since disappeared.

They only noticed it now!

After a few breaths of arguing, they all suspected each other!

Consequently, the Cultivators watching the commotion from afar also gathered around.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivators who had acted earlier began to fight each other!

Then the chaotic battle began!

The Cultivators on the periphery surrounded those in the middle, not letting any Golden Core Stage Cultivator escape!

The Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the middle also began to fight.

Two Golden Core Stage Cultivators scanned the surroundings, seeing which Cultivator dared to run.

As a result, those who arrived later saw that it had developed into a chaotic battle.

None of them dared to approach, and they turned and ran.

Gu Changan saw that the timing was about right; most people were turning to leave, not wanting to get involved in this mess.

Gu Changan also took the opportunity to slowly walk toward the periphery.

Mingling in the crowd, he was not conspicuous at all.

In the evening, Gu Changan stopped in an unnamed valley.

This valley had no name on the map, but it was northwest of the Buddhist-Daoist Monastery.

Gu Changan had originally wanted to go to Cold Moon City in the center.

But he couldn't get there in a short time!

As for why he didn't return to the Buddhist-Daoist Monastery...

Gu Changan felt a bit guilty!

What if the immaculate fruit he obtained had some kind of Soul mark on it?

Wouldn't he be like a light bulb if he stayed at the Buddhist-Daoist Monastery?

Telling them I'm back again!

So the safest way was to find a deserted place to check carefully.

Anyway, his ultimate goal was to visit Cold Moon City!

Wasn't this on the way?

Gu Changan waved his hand and summoned the top-grade Spirit Treasure, the mountain suppressing pagoda.

"Little Earth, hurry up, three rooms and one living room!"

Then he threw it onto the ground.

After Gu Changan sat on the prayer mat again, he took out a wooden box that was sealed layer by layer.

This was the most unusual thing in Elder Ku Chan's Storage Pouch.

He didn't want to pay attention to the others.

Using the "36 Minor Heavenly Cycle Restrictions," he unraveled the Seal on the wooden box.

The item inside the wooden box was truly peculiar.

On the soft red silk floated a mass of soft, spongy material.

It was about the size of a baby's fist, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom.

It looked like an upside-down peach, but its color was creamy yellow.

The outer skin was glossy and shiny.

Gently picking up the wooden box, the fruit quivered like jelly.

It felt as if this immaculate fruit had no weight at all.

Gu Changan recalled the description of the immaculate fruit in the "complete compendium of spirit herbs and elixirs."

It was almost the same as the item in his hand!

Gu Changan finally felt relieved.

However, since the immaculate fruit was so peculiar, could it be related to how it was formed?

Was it really formed from willpower?

Or was it incense willpower?

Gu Changan casually copied one, making it easier to trade later!

Then he controlled the green Treasure Qi to directly upgrade one of them.

As a result, there wasn't much change in the color of the immaculate fruit.

But its overall size was blown up like a balloon.

Originally only the size of a baby's fist, it now became the size of an adult's fist.

Gu Changan directly put away the immaculate fruit, placing it in the deepest part of the treasure gathering basin.

Two out of the seven main ingredients for the nascent soul forming pill had been acquired!

Two types of items could be traded at the Treasure Pavilion, so only three types were left.

The Northern Loose Cultivators Alliance also had a type of earth vein dragon marrow.

It was likely underground, and with his methods, it would be easy to steal.

The other two items might be within the sphere of influence of the Blood Fiend Alliance.

His destination this time was Cold Moon City.

After all, since he had come to the Northern Loose Cultivators Alliance, wouldn't he visit their main city?

While he was at it, he could develop the influence of the Shadow Dust Pavilion.

Although the Shadow Dust Pavilion didn't have much use for the time being.

In the future, the Shadow Dust Pavilion would resound throughout the entire Cultivation World!

Gu Changan had a rare good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, he released the top-grade magical artifact flying boat and began to head northwest.

A few days passed in a flash, and the further he went this way, the colder the air became.

The snow on the mountains was also much thicker!

However, people who cultivated immortality could not feel the cold at all.

Gu Changan crossed a high mountain, and a huge valley appeared before him.

Several high mountains surrounded the valley in the center.

Standing on the mountaintop, the cold wind blew, kicking up patches of snow.

Meanwhile, Cold Moon City in the valley appeared very quiet!

The fierce winds from all directions were all blocked by the surrounding mountain ranges.

Gu Changan began to observe the architecture of Cold Moon City.

The entire outer city wall was built of ice blocks.

At least, Gu Changan felt they were like ice blocks!

Although they weren't transparent, they were crystal clear.

Using his Divine Sense to look closely, they emitted waves of chill.

This was likely stone that looked like ice, or a type of cold-attribute building material.

As for the buildings inside Cold Moon City, they all had arched domes.

These arched domes could provide good wind protection.

The snow on top could also easily slide off, at least preventing them from being buried by snow.
