Chapter 49 Purple-Striped Fruit

The three immortal masters did not pursue the matter of honey any further, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, under the majesty of Immortal Master Xiping, no one dared to be disrespectful. Hu Zhentai did not even dare to stand up, and continued to kneel on the ground to report everyone's harvest in the abandoned garden.

While Hu Zhentai was recounting, he opened the last bundle, revealing the various spiritual herbs and medicinal materials inside. Immortal Master Xiping, who had been rude to them just now, seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and exclaimed with wide eyes: "Five hundred years of spiritual ginseng, seven hundred years of golden grass, and the blooming flame flower, uncle, we have made a fortune this time."

The situation of another Immortal Master Xining was similar. He stared at the things in the bundle, and it was obvious that his breathing was much more rapid than before.

Even Master Xiying was not calm, and said with a happy face: "The green sapling is the legendary Green Heart Tree. When it grows to a certain age, it can be used as the main material of magic weapons. Even Jindan cultivators are eager to get it. Have you seen those purple fruits? That is the purple-striped fruit, one of the main ingredients for refining the foundation-building pill. One needs hundreds of spirit stones."

Hearing Master Xiying mention the foundation-building pill, Xiping and Xining's eyes were red. For these Qi-cultivating cultivators, foundation-building is their biggest goal and the realm they dream of reaching. The foundation-building pill is the key to the door to the foundation-building gate.

Unexpectedly, this time, they are so close to the foundation-building realm. With the purple-striped fruit, whether they take it back to the sect in exchange for the foundation-building pill, or find someone to refine it in the future, it is equivalent to adding a guarantee for their future foundation-building. How can they not be excited?

Others didn't understand what the purple-striped fruit was for, nor did they know what foundation building was, and they had never heard of golden grass, flaming flowers, or green heart trees, but from the expressions of several immortal masters, it could be seen that the medicinal herbs in the bundle were all extraordinary good things.

When Qingyang and others thought that these things that excited the immortal masters were all found by this group of people, but they couldn't keep even one plant, their hearts were like being cut by a knife.

After a long time, the immortal master Xiping said with excitement on his face: "Uncle, I don't want anything else, but you must give me one of this purple-striped fruit."

"Uncle, I also want that purple-striped fruit." Immortal Master Xi Ning also said.

After all, Master Xiying's concentration was much higher than that of the other two nephews. He quickly suppressed his inner joy, waved his hand, collected all the spiritual herbs and the bag, and then said to the two nephews lightly: "I will consider it. We will talk about the distribution later. Let's let them finish telling us all about their experiences in the secret realm."

Hu Zhentai was no longer surprised by Master Xiying's method of collecting items. He then told everyone to leave the abandoned garden and continue to move forward, but ended up turning back to the original fork in the road. Then he told everyone about the death of Taoist Songhe by a poisonous scorpion that night, and only then did he finish telling all the things that happened after they entered the secret realm.

When Hu Zhentai said that Taoist Songhe died, Master Xiying also asked what the poisonous scorpion looked like. Unfortunately, the poisonous scorpion was beaten to pieces by Taoist Songhe and stuck to the ground and could not be picked up at all. He could only barely recognize that it was a scorpion, and he didn't know anything else.

However, several immortal masters did not seem to care about this matter. They just glanced at the body of Taoist Songhe casually. Seeing that they could not ask anything, they did not care. In fact, this is normal. They have just received so many treasures. Several immortal masters are anxious to go back and divide the spoils. Who cares about the life and death of an ordinary person?

After Hu Zhentai finished explaining everything in the secret place, Immortal Master Xiying did not express his opinion immediately, but suddenly changed his momentum and swept everyone with a cold look. It was not that he was dissatisfied with the harvest this time, or he had other intentions.

Everyone encountered this situation when they first met several immortal masters. This kind of gaze went straight into people's hearts, and it seemed that it could see through the secrets in people's hearts. Those with low strength were slightly better. Master Kongji and Hu Zhentai, who had high strength, were suffocated by this momentum, as if dark clouds covered the sky and the sky became lower.

Qingyang's situation was not much better. He was secretly beating his drum in his heart. What was going on? Why did this Immortal Master Xiying still not let everyone go? Did they find something abnormal? Or maybe they found out that there was something wrong with his wine gourd? What should I do?

Hu Zhentai was also frightened by the stare of Master Xiying, and he lay on the ground in panic and said: "Master, I have explained everything I told you, do you have any other instructions?"

Master Xiying's expression turned cold, staring at Hu Zhentai and said: "Have you really explained everything?"

Hu Zhentai was scared to death by this look. He didn't know if someone really did something to hide it from the masters, or if the masters were ready to turn their faces and deny it after seeing that the matter was done. He could only lie on the ground and kowtow repeatedly, saying: "Master, it's unjust, I have explained everything I should explain, I really didn't hide anything, if you don't believe me, you can search me."

Master Xiying didn't say anything else, and Master Xiping next to him stretched out his hand, and I don't know what action he made, and Qian Banxian, who was not far away, came to his side involuntarily.

Immortal Master Xiping grabbed a palm-sized round object from Qian Banxian and tested it with the Spirit Appraisal Plate. The plate emitted a faint red light. Immortal Master Xiying shouted, "You still dare to say that you didn't hide anything. What is this?"

Hu Zhentai thought that Master Xiping had caught him with something. He didn't even dare to raise his head. He fell to the ground and knocked his head. He said, "I really don't know about this. I didn't expect that Qian Banxian would hide the treasure. Master Xiping, please spare me."

At this time, Qian Banxian also reacted and opened his mouth to explain. But Master Xiping didn't give him a chance to explain. A golden sword light shot out from his hand, and Qian Banxian was immediately pierced through his heart. He was dead and couldn't die anymore.

This incident happened too suddenly. Even if a few of the stronger ones saw Master Xiping's move, they didn't have time to rescue him, let alone they didn't dare. But at this time, everyone also saw clearly that the round thing in Master Xiping's hand was actually a palm-sized compass.

Everyone had traveled with Qian Banxian all the way and had seen a compass in his hand a long time ago, but they didn't know that this compass was also a spiritual treasure. This compass is obviously what Qian Banxian uses for fortune-telling. It is not a treasure found in a secret place at all. But what’s the point of saying this now? The immortal masters will not listen to anyone’s explanation.
