Chapter 260 The Distribution of Three People
The disciple of the Giant Sword Sect who broke in showed the big sword in his hand to Mo Juren, and wielded the magical weapon that seemed to weigh hundreds of pounds as if he was holding a wooden stick. He was very flexible.
This skill of making light of heavy objects is obviously much better than that of Zhuang Renhe who was an undercover agent in Jianmen.
Moreover, under the Sky Eye Technique, his magical powers were not concealed at all, and he actually had the cultivation level of the twelfth level of Qi Refining!
After the man showed the sword, he asked Mo Juren,
"I am Meng Hui from the Giant Sword Sect. Are you a casual cultivator? How did you come here?"
Mo Juren said proudly,
"I am a casual cultivator. What's the matter? This place is not locked. Are only disciples of your sect allowed to come in?"
Meng Hui did not answer. He snorted coldly and looked at the red fruit tree in the center of the lake. Seeing that the fruits were still there, he felt relieved.
Just as he was about to say something, a monk's voice came from the cave.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that you, Meng Hui, would get there first this time. This Heavenly Spirit Fruit... huh!?"
As soon as the man reached the bottom of the cave and saw that there was one more person here, he immediately realized something was wrong and interrupted his conversation.
But the sentence he said halfway shocked Mo Juren.
Heavenly Spirit Fruit! ? ?
Isn't this the spiritual object of heaven and earth, one of the three main ingredients of the foundation-building pill? Could it be the red fruit tree in front of me?
The man was wearing scholar's clothes, with a blue ribbon on his forehead, and his face was pale and looked feminine.
Before entering the Bloody Forbidden Land, Mo Juren had seen the disciples of the seven major sects, so he already knew which sect they came from from their attire.
The magic weapon he used was a knife which was extremely rare among other cultivators. From this, it could be seen that this person was obviously a disciple of Huadaowu, and his cultivation level was also the twelfth level of Qi Refining!
Seeing that everyone had reached the bottom of the cave, Meng Hui of the Giant Sword Sect retracted his sword, put it on his shoulder, and took a few slow steps, so that the three of them could surround the small lake in a triangle formation.
Then he said to the newcomer,
"Wang Ying, it seems that I don't need to bet with you this time, that person was the first to arrive!"
Wang Ying of Huadaowu was incredulous and said to Mo Juren,
"You are a casual cultivator?! This is strange. You found this place faster than us sect disciples. Do you have a map and markings?"
Mo Juren said calmly,
"Don't worry about that, fellow Taoist."
Wang Ying's face turned cold when he heard this, and he said coldly,
"Hey, you are just a casual cultivator, but you are so arrogant."
Then he turned aside and said,
"Meng Hui! Since you said this round doesn't count, how do you plan to distribute the Heavenly Spirit Fruit? Should we split it 50-50?"
Mo Juren couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. It seemed that Wang Ying had directly excluded him from his words.
Meng Hui did not answer Wang Ying's question, but talked about another matter.
"When I entered this cave, I didn't find any traces of monsters..."
Wang Ying frowned when he heard this, and then he said in surprise,
"What? You mean the demon snake guarding the cave was...?!"
Mo Juren smiled and said, "Are you talking about the anaconda? If so, I just killed one."
When Wang Ying heard this, he looked at Mo Juren with no more contempt. He suddenly laughed and said,
"Hahaha, it seems that there are always people who are better than you. It turns out that there are masters like you among the casual cultivators."
"A Qi Refining Level 10 person dared to come here alone and killed a top-level demon snake."
"If that's the case, then I'd like to make a suggestion. How about dividing the fruits equally among the three of you?"
Mo Juren was not a greedy person, and he didn't know much about the Tianling Fruit. He didn't want to fight to the death with these people at the first stop, so he didn't object to their suggestion of dividing it equally.
At a quick glance, there are about ten fruits on the tree. Each person can get three, which is not bad. If you take them out, you can exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill!
Na Menghui also agreed to split it equally, but after counting, he said,
"There are ten fruits in total, three for each person, and one extra!"
Wang Ying frowned again, thinking, and then said,
"I think this way, since this fellow cultivator entered the cave first and killed the demon snake guarding the cave, we can let him pick the extra one, what do you think?"
As Wang Ying spoke, he exchanged glances with Meng Hui, who seemed to understand something and agreed.
"Okay, I have no objection."
Wang Ying said happily,
"Well, fellow cultivator, we will take turns to go to the island and pick fruits according to the order we entered the cave. To prevent anyone from breaking the rules, we can only pick one fruit at a time, and the other two will stand guard at the cave entrance. How do you think?"
When Mo Juren heard this method, it seemed quite fair. However, the embarrassing thing was that he didn't know how to collect the Tianling Fruit.
So he asked shamelessly and threateningly,
"To be honest with you two, how do we collect these Heavenly Spiritual Fruits? Please let me know in advance. Otherwise, if I accidentally waste a few of them when I go up, it will be bad for everyone..."
Wang Ying heard this, looked at Meng Hui, and then said with a smile,
"It's simple. Jump from there to the center of the lake. There are two stone pillars in the middle where you can stand. You need to prepare a wooden box to put the Tianling fruit in. Don't touch it with your hands. Once you touch it, the fruit will start to soften."
"Also, just be careful not to damage the trunk of the tree. This fruit tree can produce two heavenly spiritual fruits every year, which are rare spiritual objects of heaven and earth."
After saying that, Wang Ying threw two stones, which landed right on the surface of the lake. Below the landing point were two stone pillars half hidden under the water, which was just a good place to stand.
So Mo Juren didn't waste any time. After letting the two men retreat to the cave entrance, he went to the lakeshore and jumped onto the first stone pillar.
At this time, his feet were submerged in the water, which was just deep enough to cover his ankles. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he jumped to another stone pillar again.
Then the third jump brought us to the small island in the middle of the lake, and we landed next to the mangrove tree.
The entire mangrove tree is slightly taller than a person, and the fruit is at shoulder height.
Mo Juren looked closely at the Tianling fruits hanging under the red leaves. He saw that the fruit bodies were as white as jade, but the fruit stems seemed to have blood vessels, and one could see traces of juice flowing through them with the naked eye.
Seeing the true appearance of this fruit, Mo Juren felt familiar with it. Wasn't it exactly the same as the Jade God Fruit described in the "Ancient Soul-Feeding Pill"? It seemed that it was just a different name.
Mo Juren was delighted, as he had found the three ingredients in the recipe. Now he just needed to find the Blood Spirit Grass to refine the pill!
But now is not the time to be happy.
Mo Juren took out the wooden box he always kept, dropped a Heavenly Spirit Fruit into it, and then successfully returned to the lakeshore, as if everything was fine...
