Chapter 78 Hua Qingwu Tries to Buy Time!
Chu Xun and Hua Qingwu walked into the stone cave one behind the other.
The cave behind the gate was an altogether different world. It was a space of more than 100 square meters. The walls of the cave were mottled and there was no trace of artificial chiseling. It should be naturally formed.
The room inside was not big, and was clear at a glance.
The red tree, as high as a human being, grew on the wall of the cave, and was very attractive.
The small tree had no leaves, and only had seven branches, five of which bore a red fruit with attractive color respectively.
Chu Xun’s eyes were full of happiness. He was right. They were Flame Fruit.
The Flame Fruit was a kind of low-grade fruit, close to the intermediate level. It was made of the essence of spiritual energy, and of great use for cultivators of low cultivation.
It was what Chu Xun needed now.
He had thought that the spiritual energy of the earth was exhausted. However, with the discovery of spiritual herb and spiritual medicine, Chu Xun had an idea in his mind. Maybe a long time ago, the earth was also full of spiritual energy, and there were many different treasures. But for some reason he didn’t know, it became what it was now.
He had been to many planets, and even the lowest one had more spiritual energy than the earth.
The planet with exhausted spiritual energy like the earth was called the Death Planet by the cultivators.
Maybe the earth had been brilliant, but now it was broken. Now Chu Xun’s cultivation was too low. Maybe he could investigate what had happened to the earth when his cultivation was much higher.
The Flame Fruit was emitting hazy red light and faint spiritual energy. One would feel refreshing as soon as he smelt it.
Jiu You was very sensitive to rare herb or mineral with special effect. At this time, if Chu Xun hadn’t caught its tail, it would have eaten all the Flame Fruit.
Chu Xun took back his thoughts and was about to pick the Flame Fruit.
There were special ways to pick spiritual herb or spiritual fruit. If he picked like Hua Qingwu, the efficacy would be greatly reduced.
Chu Xun first set a Five Ghosts Transportation Formation to absorb the spiritual energy around Mount Butterfly, so as to ensure the efficacy of the Flame Fruit wouldn’t be reduced after leaving the tree.
When everything was ready, Chu Xun began to pick the Flame Fruit.
He waved his hands and made a magic signet quickly.
“Crack!”
Chu Xun stopped making a magic signet and almost died of anger.
Jiu You couldn’t suppress its desire to the Flame Fruit. While Chu Xun was making a magic signet, Jiu You rushed out and directly bit off one Flame Fruit. Then it raised its head and swallowed it.
The Flame Fruit was as big as an egg, while Jiu You was as thick as a thumb. After swallowing it, a big pimple bulged on its body and it looked funny.
Chu Xun had no choice but to help Jiu You digest the Flame Fruit first.
After a while, the Flame Fruit turned into thick spiritual energy with the help of Chu Xun’s True Energy and flew inside Jiu You’s body.
Jiu You was a top monster. It had its own way to absorb the spiritual energy.
Helch!
Jiu You narrowed its eyes comfortably, opened his mouth and belched, its body’s colorful colors becoming more vivid.
Chu Xun couldn’t help smiling!
Thanks to Jiu You’s strong body, it dared to swallow the Flame Fruit directly.
The efficacy of Flame Fruit was domineering. Even if Hua Qingwu was already a cultivator now, she could only refine and absorb it little by little. If she swallowed it like Jiu You, the Flame Fruit’s spiritual energy would burst inside her body in an instant.
“Jiu You, I’m going to teach you the cultivation technique of the demon race, which is called Celestial Pole Differentiation Technique.”
The Celestial Pole Differentiation was the primary cultivation technique of the demon race, which was very suitable for the current Jiu You.
Chu Xun reached out his one finger, and tapped Jiu You’s little head. Then the fingertip glittered with white, and a series of obscure information passed by.
Although Jiu You only had had intelligence for a short time, the information was made up of the language of demon race, so it was not difficult for it to understand and absorb. It just needed some time.
Jiu You encircled Chu Xun’s wrist and entered the dormancy mode, which was a special cultivation method of the demon race.
Without Jiu You to make trouble, Chu Xun made a magic signet and picked a Flame Fruit in a special way.
“You’re just at the beginning of cultivation, so I’ll teach you some methods to speed up the cultivation. When you enter the Qi Refinement, I’ll pass on you real cultivation techniques,” Chu Xun said to Hua Qingwu.
Then Chu Xun reached out his one finger and tapped.
Hua Qingwu shook slightly, and a string of information came to her mind.
As for how much Hua Qingwu could understand, it depended on her own comprehension.
“Your cultivation is too low, so you have to refine and absorb the Flame Fruit slowly. You need to be very patient with cultivation.”
While talking, Chu Xun opened his hand, and the Flame Fruit directly flew to Hua Qingwu and floated in front of her.
Hua Qingwu immediately sat down and began to cultivate according to the breathing technique taught by Chu Xun.
Chu Xun guarded her for a while, and was relieved when he saw that Hua Qingwu only absorbed the spiritual energy of the Flame Fruit little by little.
Chu Xun went over, picked another Flame Fruit and swallowed it at once.
The Flame Fruit entered his body, and strong spiritual energy spread violently.
Chu Xun did not dare to waste time. He sat down and began to absorb and refine the spiritual energy.
One day passed.
Two days passed.
Three days passed.
Chu Xun, like an old monk who were sitting quietly and meditating, had not been awake for three days.
Hua Qingwu woke up the next morning. After all, she couldn’t hold a candle to Chu Xun. Although she possessed the Energy Absorbing Constitution, the cultivation depended on talent. Moreover, this was Chu Xun’s second time to cultivate, so he knew it well and could manage it with ease.
Hua Qingwu’s cultivation only increased a little. Chu Xun asked her to cultivate step by step, so she didn’t dare to advance rashly. She put away the Flame Fruit that had shrunk by nearly half.
Five days passed.
Even a month passed.
Chu Xun still didn’t wake up.
Hua Qingwu didn’t dare to disturb him. She took time to consolidate her accomplishments while accompanying Chu Xun.
...
On a narrow meandering footpath in the Mount Butterfly, three elders, with a serious look, were walking one by one in a majestic gait. They were full of energy and spirit, and didn’t look old.
“It should be here.”
One of the three, an emaciated old man, stopped and said while pointing to the small slope in front of them.
The other two stopped.
The three men leaned down to overlook, but there were so many trees below and they couldn’t see it clearly.
“Is the information accurate?”
The slightly stout old man of the three looked down for a moment and asked.
“Don’t worry. The information was told by Yun Shuisheng.”
“Is he trustworthy?” asked the stout old man.
“The Yun Family is over, and Yun Shuisheng wants to live. Naturally, he dares not deceive us. No one can save his life except us,” the emaciated old man said proudly.
The other two also felt reasonable, and nodded.
“Let’s go down!”
One of them opened the canvas bag in his hand and took out a coil of rope. They were prepared.
After fixing the rope, the three went down in turn.
One by one, they grasped the rope with one hand and fell vertically, and soon landed.
As soon as the three kept their feet, the emaciated old man said surprisingly, “Look, is that the cave Yun Shuisheng told us?”
Hearing that, the other two looked over.
“Yes, it’s similar to what described by Yun Shuisheng.”
“Do you think the spiritual energy here is converging into the cave?” asked the stout old man.
The other two sensed for a moment and nodded at the same time, looking very happy.
The stout old man showed a look of thinking and asked with doubts, “According to Yun Shuisheng, the cave is hidden by a mysterious power and they couldn’t enter. How come the cave is open now? And why is there no mysterious power he said?”
The other two were obviously not as calm as the stout old man, and one of them said, “Maybe the mysterious power only appears at a certain time.”
“Whatever, let’s go in and have a look first,” another old man said as he rushed to the stone gate.
“Yes, let’s go in and have a look first.” The emaciated old man showed hot eyes, and rushed to the stone gate after him.
The stout old man frowned, feeling uneasy all the time. But when he saw that the other two had passed, he also generated power by his feet and followed them. “All of us are of high cultivation, what kind of danger will we face? It seems that I’m too careful.”
...
Hua Qingwu quietly looked at Chu Xun with affectionateness in her eyes.
Suddenly, she got up and rushed to the stone gate.
When the three old men were just approaching the stone gate, a woman, as beautiful as a fairy, suddenly appeared. They were startled and stopped abruptly.
Hua Qingwu looked at the three people indifferently, but was surprised inside. All of the three people had a strong power. Hua Qingwu realized that they were martial artists at first sight and their ability was strong.
Naturally, she would not be naive to think that these three people were just ordinary tourists. So she was on alert at once.
The three people were also scrutinizing Hua Qingwu.
“How could anyone be here?”
“I don’t know. Did Yun Shuisheng also inform other forces?”
“I think it’s possible. Maybe the spiritual fruit has already been taken away by others.”
“Maybe we still have a chance. I feel no Internal Breath fluctuations from this little girl. Maybe she’s not a martial artist at all.”
The three whispered for a while.
The stout old man raised his head, looked at Hua Qingwu and said while holding the fist in the other hand, “Girl, I’m the Second Presbyter of Wuji Sect, Pei Chong. Would you mind telling me which sect you’re from?”
Although they didn’t feel any Internal Breath fluctuations from Hua Qingwu, they dared not be careless. Maybe her seniors were around.
“I’m from the Chu Sect.” Hua Qingwu thought for a second and said.
Chu Sect?
All the three were shocked. They had never heard of this sect before.
Looking at the three people’s expressions, Hua Qingwu smiled secretly in her heart. This sect was made up by her.
“Have you heard of this sect?” Pei Chong asked the other two quietly.
The two shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had not heard of it.
“It turns out to be a friend of Chu Sect. I’ve heard a lot about it,” Pei Chong said, cupping one hand in the other before his chest.
Hua Qingwu almost burst into laughter. “There’s no Chu Sect in the world. How can he say that he has heard a lot of it. It’s so hypocrisy.”
Hua Qingwu learned from him and also cupped one hand in the other before her chest. She said, “Nice to meet you, seniors. What are you here for?”
“We heard that the Mount Butterfly is beautiful, so we visited here today and came here unconsciously,” Pei Chong said with a smile.
Hua Qingwu said to herself in the mind, “I’ll be a fool if I believe you. Will people come to the cliff when they stroll about the mountain?”
“Little girl, are you the only one here?”
Hua Qingwu realized that the other party began to inquire about information from her. She answered, “I’m here with my teacher. He’s meditating and cultivating inside. Please speak in a low voice, so as not to disturb my teacher.”
Their looks were different. It seemed that they were right. This little girl was not alone.
“Who’s your teacher?” asked Pei Chong.
“Well, his name is Chu Zongheng.” Hua Qingwu seemed unprepared and said her teacher’s name.
Chu Zongheng?
The three people were secretly frightened. What an arrogant name!
“What should we do now?” asked the emaciated old man in a low voice.
“In my opinion, there must be spiritual fruits in this cave. Yun Shuisheng, a cunning guy, didn’t put all his hopes on us. Now it seems that he must have informed other forces. Perhaps the Chu Sect is just one of them.”
“The spiritual fruit is near. Shall we return empty-handed? If it’s known by others, how can the Wuji Sect keep a foothold in the world of martial arts?”
“This little girl had no Internal Breath, and there’s only her teacher and her. What are we afraid of them for? Let’s rush in, kill them, and take away the spiritual fruit.”
“I agree. No matter how powerful this Chu Zongheng is, he can’t be stronger than us. After killing him and getting the spiritual fruit, we go back immediately. No one will know about it.”
“Second Presbyter, the spiritual fruit is rare and has special efficacy. You must know its value. I will not give up now.”
The emaciated old man and another old man said one by one, a murderous look flashing in their eyes.
Hua Qingwu was worried. Chu Xun wouldn’t wake up for the time being. She was definitely no match for the three people in front of her. Now she could only find a way to delay time.
“Don’t worry. This little girl is unsophisticated. Let’s make a decision after I get more information.” Pei Chong waved his hand to stop them from acting rashly, then he turned around and looked at Hua Qingwu.
“Little girl, it’s fate to meet. Would you mind asking your teacher to come out?”
Hua Qingwu was suddenly in a hurry. She waved her hand and said, “No. My teacher is going to enter the Grandmaster Realm. We can’t disturb him.”
The Grandmaster Realm?
Their looks all changed.
The word ‘grandmaster’, like Mount Tai, made people feel frightened.
Since her teacher was going to enter the Grandmaster Realm, his cultivation must have already reached the Great Completion of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm.
Pei Chong was appalled, but was also a little thankful. Fortunately, they didn’t do it rashly, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Of the three, he had reached the sixth level of the Acquired Realm. The other two were at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm. Even if they worked together, they were still no match for her teacher who had reached the Great Completion of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm.
Perhaps, only their householder could fight against him.
“Little girl, since your teacher is busy, we’ll leave first.” Pei Chong stooped and bowed to the cave.
Then he asked the other two, who looked unwilling, to leave with him.
Although the other two were unwilling to leave, they had no choice. They were just a piece of cake for those who had reached the Great Completion of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm.
