Chapter 83 Shouyuan Fruit Tree
I saw that Long Jiu was holding a rather exquisite fruit plate in his hand, which was covered with a layer of golden cloth, but you could still clearly see that there were round objects inside.

"Master, open it quickly, this is a good thing!" The short boy said excitedly, rubbing his hands behind his back. He felt that giving gifts was something only adults would do!
"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist!" Zhang Tie made up his mind. No matter what dark thing it was, Zhang Tie would definitely take it!

Then Zhang Tie grabbed the golden curtain and gently lifted it up, and saw eight crystal clear fruits lying there quietly.

"Longevity fruit!" Zhang Tie almost cried out!
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and confirmed it again, and found that it was exactly the same as the longevity fruit he had eaten before!
"Hehe!" Seeing Zhang Tie's surprised expression, the short boy's inner vanity was greatly satisfied. "Daoyou, don't just look at the appearance of this fruit, it tastes extraordinarily sweet! Come and try it!"

“Then I won’t be polite!” Zhang Tie couldn’t help it, so he reached out and took one of them and took a bite.

Just like the longevity fruit Zhang Tie had eaten before, a warm current first flowed into his dantian, and then flowed through his limbs and bones, so Zhang Tie hurriedly swallowed the rest of the fruit whole.

"It seems that the effect is much worse?" After eating the medical fruit, Zhang Tie carefully sensed it and felt that the effect of this fruit was much worse than that of Old Man Qiong. Roughly speaking, Zhang Tie's life span should have only increased by one year.

"But this is enough! This is the longevity fruit. Isn't the purpose of cultivators' practice to achieve immortality?" Zhang Tie sighed inwardly.

"Lord Long, this fruit is really delicious. After eating it, I feel one year younger!"

"Of course, this is a fruit that can increase your lifespan!" the short boy said proudly, "Just this one fruit can increase your lifespan by one year!"

"What? It's such a precious thing!" Zhang Tie pretended not to know and deliberately satisfied Long Ba's vanity.

"Well, it's not that precious!" The short boy waved his hand, then jumped off the chair and walked towards a small courtyard with Zhang Tie.

"I have a fruit tree in my backyard that yields hundreds of fruits every ten years, and most of them can extend their lifespan by about a year!"

"What!" Zhang Tie exclaimed. He didn't expect that this dragon actually had a fruit tree. Such a precious treasure shouldn't grow here.

Those places that are off the beaten track?

Zhang Tie followed Long Ba into the courtyard and saw an extremely huge tree that filled the entire courtyard. Its branches were extremely lush, and at the end of each branch hung an extremely plump longevity fruit. Some of the branches were so huge that they extended to the street outside the courtyard.

"Not good!" Zhang Tie was shocked. He found that there were people coming and going on the street outside. There were even some children sitting under the branches of the longevity fruit tree to enjoy the cool, eating a longevity fruit in their hands.

"Lord Long, why is it that such a precious thing was taken away so casually by an outsider?"

"This," the short boy's eyes flickered, and he kept floating around. However, seeing that Zhang Tie was staring at him, he had to tell the truth: "Well, this fruit tree is not very precious. Basically every family in Kowloon City will plant one."

The short boy felt that he had lost face after he finished speaking, and he looked up at Long Jiu beside him and said, "Xiao Jiu, tell the mage that I'm a little tired, so I'm going to go back and rest first."

After saying that, the short boy turned around and left.

"Grandpa, you!" Long Jiu said helplessly, then turned to Zhang Tie and said apologetically, "Grandpa is just like this, he cares about face. Because he is young, he is always afraid that others will treat him as a child!" "That's okay!" Zhang Tie nodded, but he was staring at Long Jiu in front of him. He obviously wanted to know clearly about the longevity fruit tree. If every household really has this longevity fruit tree, wouldn't everyone be able to live forever!

"Every household has a longevity fruit tree, so almost all residents of Kowloon City will not die of natural causes."

"But this is also a curse of Kowloon City." Long Jiu sighed softly, "I don't know how many years ago, the sixth generation of Kowloon City Lord accidentally discovered the seedling of the longevity fruit tree somewhere, and then began to lead the people of Kowloon City to plant this fruit tree."

"After that, people stopped worrying about their life span. However, the good times didn't last long. As more and more longevity fruit trees appeared in Kowloon City, all kinds of strange monsters suddenly appeared around Kowloon City. Everyone thought that with the large formation protecting it, these monsters wouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

"But what I didn't expect was that as time went by, there were more and more monsters, and finally a beast tide formed! Then they directly attacked the formation and almost broke it!"

"Fortunately, our ancestors were strong enough to repel the beast tide. However, everyone in Kowloon City was killed or injured, and it took a long time for the population to recover."

"The cultivators who were born later were surprised to find that they could no longer utilize the spiritual energy here. As a result, by my grandfather's generation, only he was able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage, while the others could only practice qi at best."

Zhang Tie was full of questions when he heard this. Since he came here, he had never seen any place selling magic weapons and elixirs. So how did the people here practice?
Zhang Tie was about to ask another question when he heard a series of knocks on the door.

"Master, please wait a moment. I'll go open the door!" Long Jiu apologized to Zhang Tie and then ran to the door.

When Long Jiu opened the door, he saw a white-haired old man who looked quite similar to the short boy standing outside, followed by a boy carrying a package.

Seeing Long Jiu opening the door, he said indifferently, "Take me to see Long Ba. I have something to tell him."

Then he walked straight into the door.

"You!" Long Jiu couldn't stop him, so he had to run quickly to Zhang Tie's side, "Master, please wait a moment, I have some things to deal with."

"Nothing!" Zhang Tie smiled and nodded to show his understanding.

In the lobby, Long Ba's face flushed, and he pointed at the white-haired old man with trembling fingers, "Long Qi, don't go too far! I invited the mage here, I can't lend him to you!"

Long Qi sat on a chair, picked up a cup of tea, and blew on it gently. "It tastes good. Xiao Ba, your tea-making skills have improved recently!"

"Of course!" Long Ba said proudly, and then reacted, "Don't tell me these nonsense, I tell you, what you said is impossible!"

"Humph, that's not up to you!" Long Qi put down the tea in his hand, "It's not up to you whether they join me or not, they have to agree."
