Chapter 264 Rest and Recuperation
After the Li family cultivators finished transplanting the Phoenix Fruit Tree, Zhang Lingyu also put all the various spiritual plants in the vicinity into her storage bag. If she wanted to pick more, she would have to go to other areas, where she would inevitably have to face off against other cultivators.
He looked at Li Yan Hui, who was walking towards him, and asked with a smile, "Congratulations on becoming an nobleman!"
"Without Fellow Daoist Zhang's help, my family would never have been able to obtain this tree."
Li Yanhui is now in high spirits. He has not only completed the tasks assigned by the clan, but also eliminated his two mortal enemies, Huang Yunshan and Du Yongyi, and their forces, thus clearing away potential threats for the clan.
Based on this achievement, he is definitely a candidate for the next Core Formation cultivator in the family.
"The remaining task... is to obtain the Spirit Puppet Palace's companion token. Whether I can even get the Golden Core is still unknown."
There were far too many elite cultivators from various families who came this time. Not only was he not confident, but even True Person Xuanhao was not optimistic about him. This Golden Core cultivator only said one sentence before leaving.
Life and health are of paramount importance.
He understood the level of danger involved, but for the sake of his Golden Core cultivation path, he really didn't want to waste this precious opportunity.
"Let's wait until we get to the Heavenly Mystery Hall and assess the situation of each faction before drawing any conclusions."
"Fellow Daoist Li, now that we have obtained the Phoenix Fruit Tree, what are your plans next?"
Li Yan sighed silently, but the person in front of him continued to ask questions. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Our main purpose in entering the Spirit Puppet Sect this time was for this item. Now we are satisfied. We have decided to take some time to rest and recuperate in preparation for the upcoming battle in the Heavenly Mystery Hall."
He understood what Zhang Lingyu was referring to; it was nothing more than the various rare and precious herbs and treasures in other areas of this herb garden.
The ancient Spirit Puppet Sect not only possessed the Phoenix Fruit Tree, but also other spiritual treasures that tempted him, yet he simply didn't dare to go and compete for them.
Not to mention that all the clansmen were injured, the opponents in the remaining areas were far beyond the likes of Huang Yunshan. Going there without allies would most likely be suicide.
It's better to focus on healing to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Seeing that Zhang Lingyu seemed interested in competing in other regions, he advised, "If Fellow Daoist Zhang is interested in other regions, I advise you to give up."
Why is that?
"As you probably saw some time ago, after we went deeper into this place, we split into several groups and went in different directions. To be honest, each direction corresponds to a type of rare and precious material."
Just as the Phoenix Fruit Tree has strict requirements for its growing environment, so do other rare and precious materials. In order to cultivate them, the Spirit Puppet Sect used to divide the area into several regions for these rare and precious materials to survive.
Furthermore, they used restrictions to separate them, for fear that they would influence each other.
He continued:
"Disciples from Nascent Soul sects like Jade Light Pavilion have all gone to the Cangwu Fruit Tree. This tree is arguably the most precious tree in the area, and the battles there must be the most intense."
"As for the other areas, they contain spiritual treasures such as the Frost Fruit, Purple Cloud Jade Flower, and Qiong Wood. In terms of rarity, they are no less than the Cangwu Fruit Tree. These areas have also been targeted by major powers. Although they are not as powerful as the Six Sects, they are still beyond our ability to resist."
"So, in that case, the Danfeng fruit tree is the worst among them."
"Yes, otherwise we would not be facing the likes of Huang Yunshan, but those Nascent Soul sects."
Before even entering the ruins, Master Xuanhao had already planned the route for Li Yanhui. After all, although the Spirit Puppet Sect had been destroyed, it hadn't been too long, and the major powers like the Six Sects were well aware of the situation.
To put it bluntly, which family doesn't have an inside man?
The map and such were thoroughly studied long before we even entered.
"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Li. I understand now." Zhang Lingyu had originally wanted to try his luck, but now it seemed that it was better to play it safe and, like the Li family, focus on healing and waiting for the Heavenly Mystery Hall to open.
Having decided on their next move, Zhang Lingyu and the others decided not to linger in the spirit herb garden any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that the major powers were still fighting fiercely in other areas and had no time to pay attention to them, they slipped away.
On their way out, they encountered many cultivators who shared the same idea. They had planned to take advantage of the Li family cultivators and Lin Qing and his wife's serious injuries to make some more money, but after seeing Li Yan and the other two, they had no choice but to slink away with their tails between their legs.
After leaving the herb garden, the group found a secluded place to settle down. As the array's light slowly flowed, everyone's hearts finally settled down.
Healing is of utmost urgency, but there is another important matter to be addressed before that.
Dividing the treasures.
The four people who contributed the most this time were Zhang Lingyu and two others.
"Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Chen, you have done a great job in holding back the two from Jiugong Mountain. Their storage bags are rightfully yours."
Li Yan presented the two men's storage bags, saying, "However, each of these two possesses a Phoenix Fruit... This item would be of great use to my family. My family is willing to exchange it for spirit stones and other items. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"
"Don't worry, we will definitely compensate you both at the original price!"
Although it was Zhang Lingyu and himself who killed Zhao and Sun, considering their situation and the fact that they would need them in a few days, they decided to do them a favor and hand them all over.
However, there was no room for negotiation regarding the Phoenix Fruit.
"We have no objections."
The couple exchanged a glance and immediately agreed. Not only were they not qualified to bargain with a direct descendant of a Golden Core cultivator, but it was also obvious to anyone with eyes that the Li family had come for this item.
Ultimately, their achievements made it impossible for them to obtain a complete storage bag, but the other party still gave it to them out of consideration for Zhang Lingyu, which can be considered extremely kind and generous.
Thank you!
Li Yanhui nodded, took out two Phoenix Fruits, and handed one to Zhang Lingyu, as they had agreed upon beforehand.
There were a total of six Phoenix Fruits. The Li family took four, and Zhang Lingyu took two.
With the Phoenix Fruit Tree in hand, the Li family had already secured the biggest gain of this trip. He didn't even want the storage bags of his two arch-enemies, Huang Yunshan and Du Yongyi, even though he had played a part in their downfall.
After all, their downfall was basically caused by Zhang Lingyu.
As for the storage bags of the other cultivators from the Huang and Du families, apart from a small portion being shared among Zhang Lingyu and the other two, the rest belonged to the remaining cultivators from the Li family.
As for Li Yanhui himself, he didn't gain much, but he did get the fruit tree, and he would definitely receive a great reward from Master Xuanhao after leaving the ruins.
After distributing the spoils, he was about to go aside to heal and rest when Zhang Lingyu called him from behind. Zhang Lingyu pulled him aside and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Li, I have a favor to ask..."
"Look at what you're saying, fellow Daoist. We're in-laws, so just speak your mind."
"It's like this, I wonder if you have any more Earthly Essence? I'd like to exchange some for it..."
