Chapter 1014 Ciaran Sacred Fruits
At this time, the three cultivators broke out in cold sweat. This woman killed their leader with only one move. She was at least at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. That was because their leader’s cultivation was the highest among them, which was the final stage of the Combination Realm.
They would simply be courting death if they provoked a cultivator at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
Right at this moment, a dozen or so cultivators arrived. The leader was the director of Rosefinch Academy, Shang Wenli. Beside him was the cold and elegant associate director, Liu Xiaofu.
“Director Shang, you are finally here!”
After seeing the people from Rosefinch Academy, the long-haired cultivator immediately felt that his savior had arrived. They were cultivators from Rosefinch Kingdom and had a good relationship with Shang Wenli.
“Director Shang, we found these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits first, but this woman killed our boss without any even giving us time to talk about it.”
Niu Cuihua still had a charming smile on her face, but one could see the disdain in her eyes. She was not interested in explaining this situation at all.
Shang Wenli looked at Qin Haodong and the other two. Then, he said in a cold voice, “Although the treasure is good, you’ve gone too far in killing a person just for fruits?”
At this time, Liu Xiaofu suddenly exclaimed, “Qin Haodong, how did you come in?”
When she was outside the Medicine God Valley just now, she saw everything clearly. The Dragon Kingdom had done its best to shut this person out of the Medicine God Valley, but she didn’t expect that he would appear in the Medicine God Valley.
Qin Haodong said, “I certainly came in openly.”
Shang Wenli turned his eyes and asked, “Are you Qin Haodong?”
“That’s right. I am Qin Haodong!”
Shang Wenli was inwardly delighted. He also wanted to get these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits but couldn’t snatch them from others because of his status as the director of Rosefinch Academy.
Fortunately, it was different now. He could snatch these fruits openly because Qin Haodong was the public enemy of the Four Kingdoms.
He said, “I heard that your cultivation was good and you were the champion of the exchange conference between the Four Kingdoms. It’s a pity that you went astray at a young age and colluded with the demon from the Ghost King Sect.
“Follow me back now. Perhaps the Dragon Royal Family will let you off with a light punishment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Niu Cuihua say, “Geezer, are you even qualified to talk to my hubby?”
Shang Wenli’s expression changed immediately. As the director of Rosefinch Academy, his position in the Rosefinch Kingdom was second only to the king. Anyone who saw him would treat him with respect.
He looked at Niu Cuihua and said, “Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?”
Niu Cuihua said with a smile, “I am the so-called demon of Ghost King Sect. What do you think? Do you want to take me with you, too?”
Shang Wenli’s expression darkened. “You are from the Ghost King Sect. It seems that I need to kill you today.”
Niu Cuihua pursed her lips disdainfully. “You are so hypocritical. It’s so obvious you want to snatch these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits but you made up a high-sounding reason for yourself.”
“Well, if you want to fight with me, do it. My time is limited.”
Shang Wenli had many disciples. One of his disciples next to him yelled, “You’re courting death!”
Then, this man raised his hand to grab Niu Cuihua.
The man had reached the final stage of the Combination Realm. In his opinion, the woman in front of him was only in her twenties, so her cultivation could not be very high.
“A damn fly, get lost!”
Like swatting a fly away, Niu Cuihua raised her palm and struck out at this man. He was sent flying dozens of meters away, his body turning into a pile of meat paste after hitting a boulder.
Everyone was shocked. The woman in front of them was indeed a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
Shang Wenli’s expression changed slightly, but he was not too bothered. That was because he was at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm!
“Enough! Don’t waste time. Everyone, let’s kill them.”
He didn’t take Niu Cuihua and Qin Haodong seriously. Since he could only be here for three days, he couldn’t afford to waste too much time.
After that, he moved and reached out to grab Niu Cuihua.
Niu Cuihua did not show any weakness. She hit out and then the two of them collided head-on.
Shang Wenli took more than ten steps back. He was caught off-guard and actually suffered quite a bit.
“You’re actually at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm?!”
His expression immediately became serious. The other party’s cultivation wasn’t inferior to his in the slightest.
“Now you know how powerful I am!”
Niu Cuihua struck out hard with both hands. The powerful energy surged forward and engulfed Shang Wenli.
Shang Wenli took a deep breath. He didn’t dare be careless this time and used all of his strength to fight back.
They were both at the later stage of the Grand Completion Realm, and there was not much difference in their cultivation. For a while, they were locked in a stalemate.
After being shocked by Niu Cuihua’s cultivation, Liu Xiaofu no longer hesitated. She pulled out the long sword on her back and slashed at Qin Haodong.
In her opinion, as long as she caught Qin Haodong, it would be equivalent to having a hostage in her hand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she wielded her long sword, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Ao…”
The Earth Bear snarled and raised its paw to smack Liu Xiaofu.
At the same time, the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts also pounced on the other members of Rosefinch Academy.
The situation changed greatly. Just now, the people from Rosefinch Academy had the absolute advantage, but in the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.
Shang Wenli wasn’t able to gain the upper hand in the fight with Niu Cuihua. He saw that his people had fallen into dire straits, but he could not help them.
Liu Xiaofu’s longsword slashed viciously against the Earth Bear’s claw. Her cultivation was only at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so she couldn’t even break through the Earth Bear’s basic defense.
Not only was this move ineffective, but she was also sent flying by the Earth Bear’s paw. When she landed on the ground, she coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
As for the others from Rosefinch academy, there was even less of a need to mention them. The highest cultivation amongst them was only at the final stage of the Combination Realm, so how could they be a match for the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts?
In the beginning, these people wanted to give it a try because there were so many of them. However, in just one round, these people were reduced to ashes by the flames spat out by the Flame Gold-eyed Beasts.
Shang Wenli was greatly frightened. The other party’s strength was overwhelming. No wonder the Dragon Kingdom attached such importance to Qin Haodong.
“Retreat!” Shang Wenli shouted.
He realized that he had kicked an iron plate. If he continued, his side might be completely annihilated.
He couldn’t fight anymore. He grabbed the injured Liu Xiaofu and fled as fast as he could.
“This…”
The long-haired cultivator and the other two were completely dumbfounded. They had thought that they would definitely be able to avenge their boss with the help of the director from Rosefinch Academy.
They hadn’t expected the other party to be so powerful. Even Shang Wenli had been beaten into a sorry state.
“What have we done? How dare we provoke the people at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm?”
Before they could figure it out, they were totally obliterated by the flames spat out by one Flame Gold-eyed Beast.
After dealing with these people, Qin Haodong approached the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits trees. Then, he pointed to the root of each tree and injected the Green Wood Genuine Qi into it. After the fruits were ripe, he put all of them into his Storage Ring.
After that, the three of them continued to collect spiritual herbs in the Medicine God Valley. A few hours later, Qin Haodong suddenly felt a huge energy fluctuation coming from afar.
Niu Cuihua also felt it. “The masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm are fighting.”
Qin Haodong said, “Let’s go and have a look.”
Generally speaking, there must be something good for the masters to fight over it. The three of them flew in the direction of the energy fluctuation.
Luo Dongqing stood near a pond that was at a short distance from Qin Haodong and the other two, his hand clutching his chest. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.
There were more than a dozen people standing opposite them. The leader was the director of Tiger Academy, Wei Wentong. The associate director, Song Tian, stood next to Wei Wentong.
The Little Witch stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, are you all right?”
Luo Dongqing waved his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He said angrily, “Wei Wentong, you are the director of Tiger Academy. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
The Little Witch also cried out, “This tree of Ciaran Sacred Fruits was discovered by our Tortoise Academy. What qualification do you all have to fight over it?”
An unknown plant sprouted in the pond behind them. It grew to a height of about two meters above the surface of the water, with three blue fruits on it and emitted a mesmerizing fragrance.
This was a Ciaran Sacred Fruits tree, one of the top sacred fruits in the Lingwu Continent. Although this kind of sacred fruit did not have much use, it still had a very powerful auxiliary effect.
Pills refined by these fruits could be taken together with any kind of pill, which could greatly multiply the efficacy.
Because of this special effect, it was known as a sacred fruit. At the same time, it was a treasure that countless people scrambled for.
Song Tian took two steps forward and said proudly, “Geezer Luo, you’re old enough. How can you be so ignorant?
“Although you discovered the Ciaran Sacred Fruits first, so what? Can you stand guard over them?
“Listen to my advice and get out of here. If you are lucky, maybe you can find other good stuff. The people of your Tortoise Academy are incapable of preserving this treasure.”
Luo Dongqing trembled with anger. Unfortunately, Wei Wentong was a master at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm, while he was only at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
The gap between their cultivation was too big. During the fight just now, Wei Wentong had just casually waved his hand but the impact shook him to the core, his internal organs were displaced and he was seriously injured.
He had no choice. The situation was obvious. The Tortoise Academy was indeed too weak. Only he was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm in his academy.
Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, the Little Witch, and others were all young talents. However, they were only at the stage of the Combination Realm and were no match for Wei Wentong.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said aggrievedly, “How about this? There are three Ciaran Sacred Fruits in total. I can give one to your Tiger Academy. Is that alright?”
Song Tian chuckled. “Geezer Luo, it looks like you still haven’t figured out the situation. Our Director Wei is a cultivator at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm. How could one Ciaran Sacred Fruit be enough?”
The Little Witch said angrily, “Don’t go too far. We discovered these Ciaran Sacred Fruits first. It’s very good that we are willing to offer one to you.”
Song Tian said, “What’s the use of being the first to discover it? Are you able to safeguard them?”
Luo Dongqing stopped the Little Witch who was about to move and said again, “How about this? Your Tiger Academy can take two. You have to leave one for my Tortoise Academy at the very least.”
Suddenly, Wei Wentong, who had a furious look, shouted, “Luo Dongqing, I truly do not know where you got your courage from. Right now, I’ll give you two choices. You can either die or scram. Not a single one of Ciaran Sacred Fruits will be yours.”
