Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Chapter 232 Ten Thousand Year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus

Surrounded by the continent where the ancient ruins had suddenly appeared, a massive number of Monster Race powerhouses were alerted and moved towards that set of ancient ruins.

As Zhao Yu's group of five made their way through those ancient ruins, they saw many cultivator corpses and remnants of magical treasures.

Those cultivator corpses would turn to dust with a slight touch, evidently affected by the grand formation of the ancient ruins. The magical treasures had also lost their spirituality, turning into scrap metal.

"Found it, the Spiritual Medicine Garden!!"

The five reached the main peak of the ancient ruins, walked through corridor after corridor, and arrived at an extremely vast Spiritual Medicine Garden that was filled with dense spiritual energy.

In that Spiritual Medicine Garden, many Spiritual Medicines had decayed into medicinal mud. However, there were still dozens of extremely rare thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines growing within.

"The thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus, a legendary Heaven and Earth Treasure said to grant a second life!! It's actually not a legend!!"

Black Cloud Old Demon, looking at a pure white Jade Lotus growing in the center of a Spiritual Spring with a Xuan Turtle crawling on it, flashed a hint of excitement in his eyes, saying.

Spiritual Fairy Lingxia also trembled with excitement, the thrill clearly swirling in her beautiful eyes: "A peerless treasure! That's definitely a peerless treasure of this world!"

The thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus was a legendary Heaven and Earth Treasure, which, if consumed by any cultivator in their old age, could grant them a second lifetime after a complete transformation.

Nascent Soul Cultivators generally had a lifespan of sixteen hundred years, and when they grew old and weak, consuming the thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus would allow them to be reborn and live another sixteen hundred years.

Of course, the thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus had its limits; it was only effective for cultivators up to the Divinity Transformation Stage and was ineffective for those beyond that stage.

Every hundred thousand years, the thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus would only produce one seed pod, with nine Lotus Seeds inside. Only after another hundred thousand years of growth might these seeds evolve into a new thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus.

Because of this, once the thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus appeared, it would trigger a scramble among countless cultivators and end up being consumed by the victors among them.

Black Cloud Old Demon stared intently at the thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus and finally relaxed, saying slowly, "I only want this thousand-year Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus, I won't take any other treasures!"

Three Absolute Scholar, True Jun of Withered Wood, and Spiritual Fairy Lingxia all moved closer to Black Cloud Old Demon, each of them watching Zhao Yu with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

Black Cloud Old Demon had summoned Spiritual Fairy Lingxia and the other two friends to prevent Zhao Yu from turning against them and stealing the treasures through murder.

Zhao Yu thought for a moment and said, "All the Lotus Seeds are mine! I can take nine fewer thousand-year Spiritual Medicines!"

Zhao Yu's group continued to collect Millennium Spiritual Medicines in the garden, obtaining a total of seventy-eight. Zhao Yu himself got eleven Millennium Spiritual Medicines.

After dividing the Spiritual Medicines, Zhao Yu's group started to scrape the garden clean, collecting all kinds of medicinal soil. Even though it couldn't be used for Alchemy, this top-grade soil for cultivating Spiritual Medicines was extremely precious.

Fairy Lingxia suggested, "This treasure hunt is too inefficient! This ancient ruin's emergence has caused a huge commotion and will surely attract countless demon races. How about we split into three teams? Black Cloud Fiend and I as one, Sanjue Scholar and Dry Wood True Monarch as another, and Daoist Zhao on your own. We each search for treasures separately, how about it?"

Sanjue Scholar said, "Great idea!"

Black Cloud Fiend also nodded slightly, "This is a good plan!"

"Fine! I'll go this way!"

Zhao Yu smiled indifferently and walked towards the northwest.

The Black Cloud Fiend and the other four Nascent Soul Cultivators also split into two teams, each heading in a different direction.

"Black Cloud Fiend, look! What is that?"

Fairy Lingxia suddenly showed a glimmer of excitement in her eyes, pointing toward a dilapidated palace.

The Black Cloud Fiend's gaze sharpened as he looked at the broken palace, carefully observing the Spiritual Patterns around it, trying to deduce its origin.

At that instant, Fairy Lingxia's hand flashed, and a seven-colored radiance brushed over Black Cloud Fiend in an instant, while a vast cloud of colored mist rolled towards him.

As soon as the seven-colored light touched him, the Barrier released by his protective Robe was easily penetrated, and a large hole was blasted through his chest.

The massive cloud of colored mist flung itself onto Black Cloud Fiend's face, and he immediately smelled a sweet fragrance, followed by a sensation of his mana becoming sluggish within his body.

"Why!!"

Black Cloud Fiend roared with a mix of shock and rage; he was filled with grief and indignation. He had been friends with Fairy Lingxia for over a hundred years and had brought them here to counterbalance Zhao Yu, but also wanting to share the benefits of this ancient ruin with his old friends.

"Black Cloud Fiend, blame yourself for not giving me the Millennium Spirit Jade Xuan Turtle Lotus! I too want to live a second life! I too want to become a great cultivator, I too want to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage! So you see, it's all your fault!!"

Fairy Lingxia's pretty face twisted into a grimace as she suddenly produced a pair of Short Blade Magical Treasures in her white hands and viciously slashed down at Black Cloud Fiend.
