"Sister Ziyue, are you wondering why Ye Qiu hasn't returned yet?"
Yun Lala asked.
"I...I don't want to ask." Ji Ziyue shook her head, somewhat panicked, as if someone had caught her red-handed.
"Tch, still won't admit it, it's written all over his face." Yun Lala said, "But this guy is something else. His tent is broken, and he's not familiar with the others. Besides, the others are barely able to take care of themselves. I bet he's too embarrassed to come back, so he's found a deserted place to weather the storm alone. It's really heartbreaking."
"Would he do that?" Ji Ziyue clenched her jade-like hands. "Maybe I should go out and look for him. I don't want him to get caught in the rain."
"Oh, I was just kidding." Yun Lala grabbed Ji Ziyue: "He's so capable, he'll be fine, don't worry."
"But..."
"No buts. Just stay put and don't go anywhere. Wait for the rain to stop."
...
The rain lasted for a full forty minutes.
When the rain stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.
"Thank goodness, the machines aren't broken."
The director, holding a camera, almost burst into tears.
Ji Ziyue stepped out of the tent and looked around, but did not find Ye Qiu.
Have you seen Ye Qiu?
Ji Ziyue asked the people around her.
"No."
"I didn't see it either."
"Brother Ye wouldn't be unable to endure the hardship and run away on his own, would he?"
"I didn't see him, I guess he's really gone."
Many people responded to Ji Ziyue.
Ji Ziyue stood there, stunned.
Has Ye Qiu really left?
For some reason, Ji Ziyue felt very lost, a loss she had never experienced before.
...
Unbeknownst to everyone, a thousand meters away in the desert, Ye Qiu was witnessing a miracle.
On the desert ground, a small purple tree grew rapidly, reaching a height of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, the sapling frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and grew eerie purple flowers.
After the purple flowers bloom, they quickly wither and turn into tiny green fruits.
After the fruit grows, the purple tree continuously supplies the fruit with spiritual energy.
The fruit seemed to be forced to grow, constantly increasing in size.
In just three minutes, the green fruit turned purple, emitting an enticing fragrance.
Ye Qiu stared at the tree full of fruit, utterly shocked.
However, before Ye Qiu could come to his senses, the fruit on the tree suddenly turned into smoke.
In less than a minute, only three relatively large fruits remained.
Although Ye Qiu didn't know what these things were, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately took action, picking three fruits and throwing them into his Qiankun Ring.
Just as Ye Qiu finished picking the fruit, a figure suddenly rushed over, exuding a terrifying aura.
Ye Qiu looked closely and realized that the person who came was none other than the Holy King Liu Dao.
Liu Dao, carrying his stick, glanced at the empty purple tree behind him and felt a pang of heartache.
"I'm late, I'm late, damn it!"
Liu Dao beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.
"Ahem, Brother Liudao, do you recognize this thing?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
Liu Dao turned around, as if he had just thought of something, and suddenly grabbed Ye Qiu's arm: "Brother, did you get the fruit?"
"I don't have any," Ye Qiu shook his head. "Tell me first, what is this thing? Is it very powerful?"
"More than powerful." Liu Dao said solemnly, "This is the Holy Tree of the Epiphyllum, and the fruit that grows on it is called the Holy Fruit of the Epiphyllum. Eating the Holy Fruit can instantly lead to Nirvana and elevate one's cultivation level."
If there are any hidden ailments or injuries left from previous cultivation practices, the Holy Fruit of the Ephemeral Flower can easily and directly erase them.
"Is it that amazing?" Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise, "Then you're really late."
"Brother, you must have picked the sacred fruit, and you picked three, right? Give me one, after all, I gave you the Supreme Ring before."
"Um... do you have any other treasures?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Uh... how about this?" Liu Dao took out a purple-gold necklace: "This thing is called the Heavenly Dao Mark. It can save your life in critical moments. It can transform into a powerful shield that even a saint might not be able to break through. All you need to do is smear it with your blood and unleash your will to make it explode."
I think this thing is a bit girly and doesn't suit my style, so it's just been sitting unused.
"This thing is pretty good." Ye Qiu took the necklace 'Heavenly Dao Mark'. It was extremely well-made and very beautiful. Even without the invisible shield function, it was absolutely priceless.
Ye Qiu thought it was a good idea to give it to Ji Ziyue!
"How's it going? Will the deal go through?" Liu Dao asked.
"Well, I only got one sacred fruit. Can I share half with you?"
"Pah!" Liu Dao exclaimed angrily, "There can't be only one. Usually, three fruits from the Epiphyllum Sacred Tree will survive."
"Just kidding, don't rush, here you go."
Ye Qiu took out a sacred fruit and handed it to Liu Dao.
After receiving the fruit, Liu Dao excitedly jumped up and down several times before shouting, "I'm going back to refine the sacred fruit. You should also hurry up and refine yours. This fruit can only last for two hours. After two hours, it will disappear."
"So soon?" Ye Qiu's expression changed slightly: "Then why don't you transplant this sacred tree to your Holy King Palace and wait for it to bloom and bear fruit next time?"
"It's no use. The reason why the Holy Tree of the Night-Blooming Flower is called this is because it blooms only for a short time. If my Holy King Palace hadn't been nearby and sensed its aura, I wouldn't have discovered that such a holy tree would grow here. It seems that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is indeed about to be fully revived. These are all omens."
Enough with the nonsense, goodbye, see you later.
Liu Dao turned around and flew away quickly.
Ye Qiu immediately took out a sacred fruit and ate it himself.
boom.
The sacred fruit entered his body and instantly transformed into a dazzling light, permeating every inch of Ye Qiu's flesh and bones.
Ye Qiu felt completely relaxed, as if he were bathing in divine light, and felt as if he were about to ascend to heaven on the spot.
This feeling was wonderful; it was an experience I had never had before.
Ye Qiu did not waste the power of the Sacred Fruit. He immediately activated the Heavenly Dragon Technique to cultivate, and in one go, he cultivated the remaining two divine figures.
At this point, all five divine shadows of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have been cultivated.
But Ye Qiu felt that the power of the Sacred Fruit was still very strong, seemingly enough for him to break through to the next realm.
Ye Qiu controlled the urge to break through, using the remaining power of the sacred fruit to strengthen his physical body and consolidate his cultivation.
Ten minutes later, Ye Qiu had fully refined the power of the Sacred Fruit, and his aura reached its peak.
He sat there cross-legged, like a banished immortal, possessing a true celestial aura.
This was the miraculous effect of the sacred fruit, which completely transformed Ye Qiu, leaving him free from any trace of worldly impurities.
