Chapter 220 Purple Sun Spirit Fruit, Netherworld Blood Pact

Cola Novels - Dedicated to providing the most comfortable reading experience.

"Fellow Daoist Huan, shouldn't you now speak of the reward and opportunity you spoke of?"

Zhang Lingyu wasn't particularly interested in Huan Xue'er and Ouyang Miaoyan; he was mainly concerned about the reward they mentioned. If the value was too low, he would definitely not get involved.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be impatient. I can show you the reward right now. I believe you won't refuse."

Huan Xue'er was not angry. She gently wiped her jade hand on the storage bag at her waist, and an exquisite jade box appeared on the table.

"Please take a look, fellow Daoist."

"Looks like a good thing."

Zhang Lingyu immediately became interested. This jade box was made of third-tier spiritual material, Cold Marrow Jade, which could ensure that the medicinal properties of the spiritual material inside would not be lost.

Ordinary spiritual objects don't receive such treatment; the contents inside must be incredibly valuable.

He reached out and opened the jade box, and a rich fire-attribute spiritual energy rushed out, causing the temperature inside the cave to rise, which immediately invigorated him.

"Is this the Purple Sun... Spirit Fruit?"

Zhang Lingyu looked at the spiritual fruit in the jade box with a slightly incredulous expression. The spiritual fruit in front of her was no bigger than a fist, dark purple in color, and covered with dense, flowing golden patterns.

Just a slight sniff, and the Qi Sea in one's body begins to stir, eager to consume it.

This fruit grows on the Purple Sun Ancient Vine, and its growing conditions are extremely demanding. The growing environment must be at least a place of extreme Yang. As far as he knows, there is only one place in the entire Donghua Continent cultivation world that meets the requirements.

The location of the Zhengyang Sect of the Qin State.

Zhengyang Valley.

The Purple Sun Ancient Vine absorbs the essence of the sun and the essence of the earth's fire, bearing fruit only once every two hundred years, with only six fruits at a time. Once born, the Purple Sun Spirit Fruit is a top-grade fourth-tier spiritual object.

If left unharvested and allowed to continue growing, it will become a fifth-tier spiritual fruit in a hundred years, which can assist Foundation Establishment cultivators in forming their core.

Even when used to refine pills, it is still of great benefit to Golden Core cultivators.

In that extremely yang land, the Purple Sun Ancient Vine wasn't even considered a high-grade item; above it were things like the Crimson Flame Immortal Grass and the Sunfire Golden Fruit...

Even so, all of these fruits are firmly controlled by the Zhengyang Sect, and even a single one that leaks out will be fought over by all kinds of cultivators.

"If I take it, I will definitely be able to break through to the later stage within four years."

Of course, he was referring to directly consuming the Purple Sun Spirit Fruit. If it were combined with other spiritual materials to refine into pills, it might not be impossible to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Unfortunately... he didn't have much time left.

Besides, I don't have the recipe, and even if I did, it would be extremely difficult to refine. It would be more cost-effective to just take it directly.

"If outsiders saw this, they'd definitely say I'm wasting a treasure!"

Looking at the man's infatuated expression, Huan Xue'er smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I didn't lie to you, did I? I told you you wouldn't refuse."

These words brought Zhang Lingyu back to reality. He closed the jade box again to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Huan, where did you get this?"

As he mentioned before, to his knowledge, the only place of supreme Yang energy was the Zheng Yang Sect.

If there is no other place, it must have flowed out from there.

If not, then there's a lot to discuss. As long as we can find out where the Purple Sun Ancient Vine grows, we must find a way to obtain it.

This item is of great help to those who cultivate the fire element.

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. This creature only grows in one place in Donghua Continent. Where else could it have come from?"

Huan Xue'er's expression suddenly changed, and she said coldly, "I obtained this item from a cultivator of the Zheng Yang Sect. He traveled in the Chu Kingdom for a period of time."

"By chance, I explored a cave with him. He kept leering at me, intending to do something wicked. Annoyed by his gaze, I killed him on a whim, and that's how I got this result."

"He killed him casually... I think he killed him after he was done using him."

Zhang Lingyu shook his head. The cultivation methods of the Zhengyang Sect are extremely yang and strong, and cannot tolerate the slightest distraction. How could there be a cultivator with a perfect state of mind?

Huan Xue'er is skilled in illusion and charm magic; she must have subtly applied spells along the way to lure him into her trap.

Perhaps this person had already crafted a human puppet and placed it in this woman's storage bag.

There was one thing he was curious about, and he laughed, "Fellow Daoist Huan is truly bold, daring to kill a cultivator from the Zheng Yang Sect. Aren't you afraid they'll chase after you from afar?"

Those who could stand firm in the Qin state were all formidable figures.

The Zhengyang Sect was originally a Nascent Soul sect. Although there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in charge now, there are still six Core Formation cultivators in the sect.

Furthermore, they are hot-tempered and extremely protective of their own; if they discover that any of their disciples have been harmed, they will fight to the death.

Furthermore, disciples who obtain the Purple Sun Spirit Fruit are usually quite capable within their sects; they must at least be direct descendants.

"They've already been killed, there's no point in saying anything more."

Huan Xue'er seemed unconcerned and continued to ask:

"As for that opportunity, I can tell you now. There is a valley in Yunhai County with a spiritual pool inside. Drinking the spiritual water can greatly enhance one's soul. I'm sure you won't refuse, will you?"

"What's the name of the spirit water?"

"Moon Marrow Spirit Water"

"Oh, so this is what it is."

This water is also recorded in the legacy left by Tianji Sanren. As long as you drink this water and then circulate your cultivation technique to absorb it, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If Huan Xue'er wasn't lying to him, once he obtained this water, he could have completed the first volume of the Spirit Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture before the Spirit Puppet Sect ruins opened.

At that time, even if one's cultivation level had not reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, one would not be too helpless when encountering other powerful opponents.

As for what Huan Xue'er and the others wanted, they simply wanted to strengthen their souls to make their illusions and charms more powerful.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, are you satisfied with this Purple Sun Spirit Fruit and this opportunity? As long as you agree, the Purple Sun Spirit Fruit can be given to you immediately!"

Huan Xue'er's tone was somewhat urgent. According to the information she had, Ouyang Miaoyan had already found two helpers. If she could find a few more, they could set off at any time.

Yingchuan County is quite far from Yunhai County; it takes about three days to get there.

She only had one chance. If Ouyang Miaoyan drank the Moon Marrow Spirit Water and then drank the Mirage Pearl, she would have no chance to turn things around.

The two sides have become mortal enemies, and one day they might be confronted and eventually turned into puppets.

"Fellow Daoist, your words sound nice, but how can the two of us possibly deal with the combined forces of Ouyang Miaoyan and her group? Or perhaps you are using the Purple Sun Spirit Fruit to lure me there for revenge, and then, together with your senior sister, you intend to kill me as well?"

Zhang Lingyu refused the spirit fruit, sneering, "The Purple Sun Spirit Fruit is right in front of me. Why can't I kill you on the spot and then take the fruit?"

"No one will condemn Zhang for killing a demonic woman."

Huan Xue'er froze, her expression constantly shifting, her delicate body trembling, clearly frightened.

It was already inconceivable that a demonic cultivator would make a deal with a celestial cultivator.

Moreover, they brought out such valuable items.

Isn't that like a lamb being led to the slaughter?

Huan Xue'er paused for a moment, then whispered, "What else do you want, fellow Daoist? If you desire my body and soul, that's not out of the question. I am still a virgin, my primordial yin is intact! Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now.

"If you are willing to help me get rid of Ouyang Miaoyan, we can cultivate together afterwards. I also have a few dual cultivation secrets from the Hehuan Sect. Even without consuming the Ziyang Spirit Fruit, you can still break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"Dual cultivation... I'm afraid that in the end you'll be the one draining my energy..."

Zhang Lingyu remained unfazed and coldly snorted, "You and I need to make a contract."

Huan Xue'er pouted after hearing this. She was top-notch in both figure and appearance. Whenever she showed her true face, male cultivators would all be captivated by her, even the direct descendants of those high-ranking Nascent Soul sects.

Today was the first time we'd lost.

You should know that I just used charm magic.

"He could be influenced by me back then, but now he doesn't react at all... Just how badly has his soul deteriorated?"

She quickly composed herself and joked, "I knew you weren't the kind of person to kick someone when they're down. In that case, we should make a pact."

As he spoke, he took out a roll of parchment-like paper from his storage bag and spread it on the table.

This thing has a rough texture, yet it has a damp, greasy feel, as if it was just pulled out of blood. There are also some black marks on it, making it a demonic artifact.

Netherworld Blood Pact.

Zhang Lingyu had only heard about the name and function of this thing two years ago, when he heard it from Master Xuanhao at the Li family.

When cultivators make an agreement but fear that the other party will go back on their word or break the agreement, they will write the agreement on this Netherworld Blood Pact and then each drip a drop of blood stained with a trace of their soul onto it.

Once completed, the agreement will be finalized and recognized by the will of Heaven in the dark. If it is violated, it will inevitably suffer backlash.

At best, it can result in serious injury; at worst, it can lead to death and the extinction of one's spiritual path.

Even those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage must obediently abide by the contents of the blood pact.

These lower-level cultivators don't understand. When faced with problems, they swear an oath based on their Daoist heart, unaware that the cultivation world is vast and there are always cultivators who know how to conceal heavenly secrets and avoid karma.

Therefore, the Netherworld Blood Pact is the safest method.

Moreover, it's not very troublesome to make; it's just that those powerful forces keep the information very secret, just like the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, unwilling to let lower-level cultivators know it.

"This girl is quite sensible."

Zhang Lingyu nodded upon seeing this. Seeing that he had no objections, Huan Xue'er immediately wrote the agreement on the Netherworld Blood Pact and handed it over.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please take a look. If there are no problems, we will sign and affix our seals."

The woman's handwriting was very elegant, showing that she had put in a lot of effort at the beginning of her cultivation. As for the content, it was written very clearly and without any problems.

He suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Huan, are you going to the ruins of the Spirit Puppet Sect?"

"Why...why are we talking about this?"

Huan Xue'er was taken aback, not expecting the other party to raise this question. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "The Spirit Puppet Sect ruins contain countless treasures. Although I do not have the strength to enter the core area, I am willing to go into the inner sect to explore."

"What guidance does Fellow Daoist Zhang have?"

"If things go smoothly this time, we should both be able to enter the late Foundation Establishment stage. Fellow Daoist, your strength is not weak. The ruins are fraught with danger, and there is no guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen. If we have the opportunity to meet then, we can help each other out."

Huan Xue'er is quite strong, and her illusion and charm techniques are exceptional. If they had the chance to join forces, they would definitely have an unexpected effect.

Of course, he would prefer to restrain the other party to prevent them from causing unnecessary trouble in case of a sudden crisis.

"How rare! Fellow Daoist would actually take the initiative to propose joining forces with me."

Huan Xue'er blinked her beautiful eyes and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist's strength is formidable. I would be delighted to join forces with you. I will do so immediately."

Having said that, he added that one as well.

Once everything was finalized, both parties added their names.

Jiang Shuyan.

Zhang Lingyu.

"Jiang Shuyan...as expected, was using a fake name."

These three words also confirmed the previous conjecture; indeed, the cultivators of the Thousand Illusions Demon Palace were all fake.

Only at this moment would she dare not falsify anything. If she were to write a false name on the Netherworld Blood Pact, she would immediately suffer a backlash. Even if Jiang Shuyan had a big heart, she would not dare to do such a thing.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Jiang, please."

Few people reveal their real names when they are out and about, and he is no exception, so he doesn't care.

Seeing the blood dripping from Jiang Shuyan's fingertip onto her name, he did the same.

After the blood merged with the blood pact, he immediately felt an indescribable aura envelop his entire body, binding him tightly like shackles.

However, this anomaly vanished completely after a breath.

But that doesn't mean it's completely gone. Just a moment ago, he realized that if he violated the contents of the blood pact, it would trigger unimaginable consequences.

Only when the agreed-upon task is completed will the shackles be completely removed.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist!"

The worry in Jiang Shuyan's eyes vanished instantly, and she handed the jade box directly to the other party. Then she asked anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, when do you think we should set off?"

Time was of the essence, and she was afraid that her senior sister would find enough people too early, which would cause trouble later.

Zhang Lingyu also wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible so that he could cultivate, so he said, "Since I have promised you, I will do my best."

"I'll go back and settle my clan affairs first, and also pack my belongings. I'll set off early tomorrow morning. I'll trouble you to rest here for the night, fellow Daoist."

"That's excellent."

After hearing this, Jiang Shuyan nodded slightly in agreement.

Without delay, Zhang Lingyu immediately rode the wind towards Qingya Mountain. He was not afraid that Jiang Shuyan would cause any disturbance in the county, as they had agreed on this matter in the Netherworld Blood Pact earlier.

In less than half an hour, he returned to his own courtyard.

To his surprise, three figures were already waiting in the courtyard: Wang Menghan, Zhang Yuanyao, and Mo Wuyai.

They were very anxious after returning to their clan, but because of Zhang Lingyu's instructions, they dared not inform Zhang Yuanlin on their own.

We can only wait here.

Upon seeing Zhang Lingyu return, Wang Menghan immediately came to greet him, her eyes slightly moist. He asked anxiously, "Master, how is it?"

"Don't worry, see, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"

Zhang Lingyu offered a word of comfort, then continued, "I have some matters to discuss with that fellow Daoist, and I need to go out for a few days. You must cultivate diligently while I'm gone."

"really..."

Upon hearing this, the girl's heart sank. Her worst fears had come true; her master had indeed granted the demoness's request.

Jiang Shuyan was skilled in illusion and charm arts, and was also a demonic cultivator. She feared that Zhang Lingyu had already fallen under her spell.

Just as he was about to speak to dissuade him, Zhang Lingyu explained the matter of the Netherworld Blood Pact and said in a deep voice, "Once the blood pact is made, there is no room for regret. Moreover, it concerns Master's path of cultivation, so we must go no matter what."

"Can..."

"Alright, Master knows what he's doing."

"Yes."

Seeing that he was adamant, Wang Menghan could only swallow her words and remain silent.
