Chapter 254: Golden Congealed Gold Fruit, Qiu Mao's

. May I ask a couple of questions Where exactly are we going, and how can I be of use"Lu Xiaoxiao smiled upon hearing this. He wasn't surprised or angry. The world of cultivators was one where the st...A low, recessed valley where a waterfall plunges straight down a thousand feet, crashing into a pool at the base of the cliff that has been accumulating for years. 。Pen, interest, pavilion 。biquge 。The impact caused countless water droplets to splatter like shards of jade. 。At this time, dozens of cultivators gathered downstream from the waterfall. 。Two stunted spirit trees, each bearing eleven seven-hole fruits that emitted wisps of pale gold mist, were the golden condensing fruit. 。Looking at these eleven golden condensing fruits, everyone's eyes were filled with fervor. Even though not everyone present was a gold-attribute cultivator, the preciousness of the golden condensing fruit was self-evident. As long as one could obtain it, there would be a chance in the future to exchange it for a golden condensing fruit that suited them. Even if they didn't need it themselves, selling it would definitely fetch an astronomical price. 。... enough to make all the Foundation Establishment cultivators desperate ... 。Just a few zhang away from the golden fruit tree, two sleek, golden-furred polecats with not a single hair on their bodies circled. Their foreheads bore a distinct mark of a king's character, and their smooth fur seemed like a flawless work of art, free from any impurities. 。

Look! This is a top-notch monster, each one's strength far surpasses that of monsters of the same rank, but unlike... these two raccoon cats look like two different species.

There are only eleven golden Jinding fruits available now, but there are already over thirty cultivators present. 。And Su Qing and Luo Qian suddenly found themselves within it. 。"So many people, what a hassle. It's a pity that Senior Brother Lu isn't here. If he were, with the three of us, we could probably get quite a bit." 。Su Qing's eyes retracted from the Golden Condensation Fruit, a solemn expression on her face. She was no longer the pampered Jindan heir who had grown up in honeyed luxury. During her Qi Refining stage, she had indeed been under the strict protection of her sect, with ample supply of medicinal pills and spiritual artifacts for cultivation. But since the Blood-Colored Forbidden Zone, she had undergone numerous trials and tribulations. She would not be easily swayed by immediate gain, even in the face of a Golden Condensation Fruit, she would habitually analyze its pros and cons. 。Su Qing's situation was similar to that of most powerful cultivating families. During the Qi Refining period, they faced many threats and received more rigorous protection from their family. Once they were close to establishing a foundation or had successfully established one, the family would gradually loosen their control, allowing them to gradually experience the brutality of the cultivation world. 。After all, those who can support a cultivating family are basically farsighted and know that flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain. 。“If Lu Xia Tian were here, we could naturally obtain more Jinning fruits. Now, with just the two of us, although our strength is considerable, we are somewhat outnumbered. If we want to win more Jinning fruits, it will probably not be an easy task; others would not readily agree.” 。Luo Qian, upon hearing this, although somewhat unwilling, surprisingly didn't refute. Due to Su Qing's relationship, Luo Qian had always harbored animosity towards Lu Xiaotian, but he had to admit that when Lu Xiaotian was around, he did give people a sense of security. 。“How about we two team up and grab some, then run Let’s also take one for Senior Brother Lu As long as there's a fight, we have the chance to take advantage of the chaos. If things get messy, we grab what we can and disappear. There are still several Golden Condensing Fruit at the scene. With our strength, others will definitely target weaker opponents.” 。"Brother Lu has helped us so much, even saved us. It's only right that we help him grab a Golden Condensation Fruit. What do you think" Su Qing's face flickered with uncertainty. 。"Alright" 。Although Lu Qian thought such actions inevitably involved some risks, his proud nature drove him to repay Lu Xiaitian's favor as soon as possible. 。"Haha.... What a coincidence! If this young master had come just one step later, I'm afraid the Golden Condensation Fruit would have been taken by someone else." 。Nine figures leaped from the waterfall, their descent accompanied by a haughty laugh. Leading them was Cheng Tao, the red-haired youth Su Qing and Luo Qian had encountered before. 。The more than thirty cultivators present had been joined by nine people led by the red-haired youth, already accounting for one quarter of the total. In addition, Cheng Tao was quite confident in his own strength and had several capable companions around him. 。confidence can dominate absolute initiative 。"My lords, this young master is the son of the Jindan ancestor Cheng of Xuan Ye City's Cheng family. This time, I came here especially at my father's behest to retrieve this Jingjin Fruit. I hope that all of you present will give me some face." 。Cheng Tao felt very good about himself, he clasped his hands and bowed slightly to the people present, but the corners of his mouth raised with a hint of overconfidence. 。He was lucky; he knew most of the influential Qi Refining cultivators in Xuan Ye City, but none of them were here. This meant that if any of them had a conflict with him, they would inevitably feel less confident. 。Cheng Tao's eyes scanned the crowd before landing on Su Qing. His eyes lit up instantly. He couldn't believe that the person he had been thinking about day and night had actually appeared in front of him again. Before, he had let Su Qing leave because he couldn't delay the important matter of obtaining the Golden Core Fruit. Now, Su Qing was not only missing as a helper >>> 。And the Golden Fruit was right before his eyes. After solving the problem of the Golden Fruit, he was afraid that the little beauty in front of him could escape from his palm As for the two brothers Wu Gang, they were nowhere to be seen at the moment, but whether those two trash lived or died, he didn't care at all. 。Seeing Cheng Tao's greedy eyes on full display, Luo Qian was furious and took a step forward, but Su Qing stopped him with an eye roll. Although Su Qing was also a little annoyed, she knew now wasn't the time to act impulsively. 。She stepped forward and said, “An unclaimed treasure belongs to those of virtue.” 。"If you have a Golden Core senior as your father, and he gives you face, wouldn't all the treasures in the world belong to you"

"That's right. Just because you have a Golden Core father, when he's not around, who recognizes you If you want to take the Condensation Gold Fruit, it depends on whether your skills are as good as your mouth." 。Upon hearing Su Qing's words, the over thirty cultivators present burst into boisterous laughter. None of them were willing to give up on the golden fruit in front of them easily. After all, for the vast majority of cultivators, the golden fruit represented the opportunity to form a core. To have stumbled upon it by chance was already an immense stroke of luck. If they missed this opportunity, who knew if they would ever get another chance 。Cheng Tao made his entrance with the intention of making way for himself, though those present remained silent, it didn't mean they were giving up. They were simply weighing the pros and cons. 。Now that Su Qing had started, the others were even more unrestrained. Cheng Tao's group of nine was the largest faction present, but there were over thirty other cultivators at the scene. In the end, whoever could secure the Golden Condensation Fruit would depend on their abilities. Anyone who wanted to keep it all for themselves would be going against everyone else there. 。"You're asking for death!" Cheng Tao was furious, his face turning ashen. He didn't expect these people to disrespect him in front of everyone, but they even dared to insult him! A blue light flashed in his hand, and a gigantic blue orb slowly hovered above his head, emitting a soft blue aura. 。Although the aura was soft, the powerful energy it emanated left everyone present speechless. 。Only in the blue orb, it seemed that countless blue serpents were swimming and roaring. 。If it were not for a superficial barrier holding it back, layers upon layers would be surging out at this moment. 。"Water System Dan Yuan Artifact!" Someone exclaimed in shock, this aura was so powerful it threatened everyone present. 。Most people's faces changed, even though Cheng Tao, even with the Dan Yuan artifact, was not enough to withstand everyone present. However, the first person who fought him had little chance of surviving. After all, nobody wants to be the "bird shot first." 。

Seeing these people go silent at once, Cheng Tao's face flashed with a sneer. "Now who else objects"

"Of course there are objections. Don't you think that with just one Danyan artifact you can contend against our thirty-plus foundation-building cultivators"

It remains to be seen who will win if a real fight breaks out. 。Luo Qian took a step forward, looking coldly at Cheng Tao. 。“You're courting death!” Cheng Tao’s eyes flashed a trace of ferocity. He wasn't a fool; he naturally knew that it was impossible to swallow the Golden Condensation Fruit alone. After all, the opportunity to form a golden elixir was enough to drive everyone mad. Even with the Azure Flood Dragon Pearl, a single tiger couldn't withstand a pack of wolves. The reason he proposed such outrageous conditions at the beginning was to put immense psychological pressure on these people present. Once he dealt with the troublemakers, he would make slight concessions later, taking a larger share for himself. Then, the other cultivators would feel fortunate. 。He feels that he has already conceded, so he can successfully take the lion's share. 。Of course, his audacity stems from the Jade Azure Bead and his eight attendants. Moreover, the nearest immortal city is Xuan Ye City. Though its people may be disrespectful on the surface, they cannot ignore his Golden Core father backing him up. 。Things are progressing in the direction he expected, but before that, he needs to clear up some thorns first and establish his dominance in front of everyone. 。"Fine, I wasn't going to make a move anyway. Since you're looking for death, don't blame me." 。Even if others take advantage of the situation to steal the Condensing Golden Fruit, I will have to deal with you first. 。After saying that, Cheng Tao let out a clear whistle. The blue light from the Bi Jiao Zhu on his head flared up, and the countless Bi Jiaos inside seemed to be stimulated, quickly swimming around. The blue barrier surrounding the Bi Jiao also grew larger and thinner, as if it were ready to release the Bi Jiao at any moment. 。The second young master is truly cunning. He saw that the two Qua Cats were no ordinary creatures and wanted to incite others to attack them first, while he himself took care of the troublesome thorn first. This way, he established his authority and also used the opportunity to manipulate these cultivators in front of him. 。The portly middle-aged man beside him chuckled softly. Those unfamiliar with Cheng Tao would likely perceive him as an arrogant, self-important individual, relying on his family's influence. But the portly middle-aged man, who had spent years by his side, knew better. These were merely masks that Cheng Tao wore. If Cheng Tao were truly simple-minded, he wouldn't have managed to suppress his several brothers for so long and become his father's favorite son. He also wouldn't be able to maintain the most powerful influence among his siblings. 。"Who's looking for death, it's hard to say." 。Luo Qian faced off head-on, the red-haired youth's Bi Jiaozhu wasn't simple, but he wasn't a pushover either. He wouldn't allow himself to be manipulated. In other circumstances, he might have given some leeway, after all, there were more people on the other side. But now, because of the competition for the Golden Condensation Fruit, most people were on his side. Although these people would abandon him immediately if things looked bad, as long as he didn't fall behind, they would stand with him for the sake of the Golden Condensation Fruit. After all, the red-haired youth had too many people. If they didn't unite, they wouldn't get any benefits. 。At this moment, Luo Qian felt the importance of Lu Xia Tian more than ever. If Lu Xia Tian were here, with his abilities, taking down this red-haired youth would not be a difficult task with thunderous means. It could also intimidate others and secure most of the golden fruit. Unfortunately, Lu Xia Tian was not present now. Although Luo Qian and Su Qing were powerful, there were many others, and there was this leading red-haired youth. More importantly, both Luo Qian and Su Qing didn't possess Lu Xia Tian's ability to decide someone's fate within a few moves, especially that strange sonic attack which could not be stopped by sheer numbers. 。At the same time that Su Qing and Luo Qian were secretly regretful, a dark-skinned young man in the crowd slightly curled the corner of his mouth, glanced at Luo Qian who was surrounded by thunder and lightning once. 。It was precisely Lu Xia Tian disguised as a thousand phantom mask. 。In fact, he arrived earlier than Su Qing and Luo Qian. After leaving the Mist Forbidden Land, Lu Xiaoteng, Xue Ling, and the emaciated old man parted ways, and under the guidance of the Yuanshen in the Soul-Breaking Bead, they came directly here. 。The reason for not directly taking the Jinuo fruit was because the two Qu cats were too powerful, their bodies smooth and shiny, seemingly able to withstand most attacks. 。Before they arrived, a dozen or so cultivators at the late stage of foundation establishment rushed forward. The two Qicat were as fast as lightning, and not many cultivators could keep up with their pace. Even if they managed to hit them, their attacks landed on the golden light covering the Qicat's bodies, seemingly sliding off as if nothing happened, without inflicting much damage. 。Two celestial cats weaved through the crowd like two beams of gold, their paws slashing and killing most of the cultivators who tried to reach for the Golden Condensation Fruit. 。A few were left terrified, turning to flee, but they couldn't escape the pursuit of the two Qicat. 。Fortunately, the two qilin cats didn't pursue too far, or perhaps they were worried that after going too far, others or monsters would take advantage of the situation and snatch the golden condensed fruit. 。So he swaggered back, if not, Lu Xia Tian estimated that he would also have a hard fight with it. 。Perhaps cultivators arriving later will snatch up a bargain. 。As for those cultivators who had already fallen, the reason they were not seen with their bones was because they were entangled by the bluish-gray vines under the Golden Condensation Fruit Tree. Then, they were sucked clean, leaving not even a shred of clothing. As for their storage pouches, they were also buried underneath, and on the surface, there was no sign whatsoever. 。And these people's attention was mostly focused on the Jin Fruit, and they argued with other cultivators, wary of each other, to some extent ignoring the danger in front of them. 。After all, in the eyes of these people, guarding the Golden Fruit were only two mutated-looking monsters, absolutely unable to withstand their dozens of people. 。By contrast, the people we should be most wary of are those closest to us who may harbor ulterior motives. 。Luo Qian was indeed more spirited than before, Cheng Tao wasn't as flamboyant as he appeared, and Luo Qian's understanding of the current situation was also quite remarkable. This fight should be evenly matched for now. 。The gold will not change immediately after the formation of the gold fruit. 。Lu Xiaoteng's heart skipped a beat. He silently slipped out of the crowd. 。Lu Xiaoteng. Left and right were both difficult, and for a time Lu Xiaoteng was also somewhat indecisive. Hesitation was a major taboo in the midst of a magical duel between two sides.After a moment'...
