Having caught an encyclopedia, Su Rui naturally didn't hesitate to engage in a conversation. It was primarily Su Rui asking questions, and the Kunlun sect youth answering them. After his rambling, eloquent explanations, Su Rui was truly astounded by his vast knowledge.
Su Rui even asked him questions about his future path of cultivation. For example, he wanted to condense fire-attributed evil spirits in the fourth stage of Condensing Evil Spirits. When asked for his recommendations, he listed various types of Earthly Evil True Fires like a treasure trove. Among them, one Fire Evil called the Five Elements Yin Evil Earthly Extreme True Fire was the most attractive to Su Rui. Another Fire Evil was called the Southern Bing Fire, which was the Fire Evil Qi used to refine the Three Yang True Fires.
You should know that the Three Yang True Fire is far more powerful than the Purple Clear Spiritual Flame, the Tushita Fire, the Great Sun Treasure Light Dry Flame, and other flames, and is known as the Seven Most Powerful Spiritual Flames. It's no surprise that the Southern Bing Fire is also an extremely rare Fire Evil. There's also the Tai Huo Poisonous Flame, another form of the Most Powerful Fire Evil, but its purpose is more focused on refining equipment and creating lightning beads to withstand thunder and fire disasters. If Su Rui plans to pursue a career in equipment refining, he's the right choice!
However, this kind of extremely powerful fire evil spirit vein is extremely rare, and it is also very dangerous when the evil is condensed. If you are not careful, you will be burned to ashes.
After a pleasant chat, Su Rui naturally invited the other party to join his friends, although with a bit of utilitarianism. It was not until they parted that Su Rui learned that the other party's name was Shi Chaoyun, the son of a Kunlun elder.
"So he's a second-generation immortal. No wonder he knows everything about the cultivation world!"
After saying goodbye to the other party, Su Rui couldn't help but think to himself as he looked at the other party's figure.
Absorbing the foul blood, the Immortal Vine transformed from a tiny seed into a ten-foot-tall, purple-red vine. Its leaves were edged with tiny serrations, resembling sharp knives, while the vine was covered in long, spiky thorns, creating a formidable presence. These thorns, densely packed together, resembled a ferocious beast, baring its fangs and claws in a display of majesty. One could imagine the stinging pain one would feel if they accidentally touched them.
Obviously, this immortal ivy should belong to the same species as the thorn. They both grow in environments full of dangers and challenges, and both possess tenacious vitality and strong adaptability.
The branches of the Immortality Ivy wriggled along the ground like snakes and insects, as if searching for something. Its leaves were a deep green, serrated with tiny teeth, like sharp knives. Its flowers were small and delicate, their pink petals clustered together like tiny wine glasses filled with sweet nectar.
Su Rui looked at the flourishing longevity vine and muttered to himself, "It has sucked so much dirty blood, why hasn't it produced any fruit yet?"
He had seen and eaten many thorn berries. They were a wonderful fruit, shaped like Little Red Riding Hood, incredibly adorable. Every time he saw a thorn berry, he would recall a childhood memory: he and his friends were playing in the forest when they stumbled upon a tree laden with thorn berries. They excitedly picked the berries, savoring their sweet and sour flavor, feeling as if they had discovered a treasure. At that moment, their hearts were filled with joy and happiness.
Unfortunately, it seemed to be a plant unique to the time before his time travel. In this world, he had traveled through so many mountains and forests, yet he had never seen thorn fruit again. He had thought he had forgotten the taste, but every time he saw a similar fruit, a faint sense of longing welled up in his heart. He missed his childhood playmates, missed that thorn tree, and missed the world that once belonged to him.
Sometimes, he would think that if he had not traveled through time, he might still be in that world, living an ordinary but happy life. However, he also knew that there were no ifs in life, so he could only cherish everything in front of him and work hard to live on.
It was not until the Eternal Vine was taken back by the Red Dragon that Su Rui came back to his senses.
"Let's go, let's go see our master!"
Su Rui looked at Chi Jiao, smiled brightly and greeted him.
Afterwards, he and the red dragon transformed into two beams of light and flew towards the direction where the righteous disciples were gathering.
When they pressed the escape light and landed on the ground, they saw True Man Yu'e and Zen Master Banbian sitting on a huge rock and discussing Taoism.
When True Man Yu'e saw Su Rui, he waved to him to come over.
When the master called him, Su Rui had no choice but to run over. He first bowed to his own master, and then bowed to Master Banbian, the monk Zhiliao beside him, and Yuan Ning and others who were present.
Su Rui's arrival seemed to break the atmosphere. Yu'e Zhenren coughed lightly and said to Su Rui, "Boy, come and meet Master Banbian."
Su Rui followed his instructions and stepped forward, bowed deeply to Master Banbian, and said, "Greetings, Master Banbian."
Banbian Zen Master smiled and nodded, saying, "No need to be so polite, my friend Su."
Yu'e Zhenren pointed at the monk Zhiliao beside Master Banbian and said to Su Rui, "This is Master Zhiliao. He is Master Banbian's most senior disciple. I'm sure you have met him before."
Su Rui bowed to Monk Zhiliao again, and said to True Man Yu'e with a smile, "My disciple and Monk Zhiliao have met many times, so it's not an exaggeration to say that we are good friends!"
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, True Man Yu'e said to Su Rui, "Alright, you young people, chat and exchange your cultivation experiences. I have some matters to discuss with Zen Master Banbian."
Su Rui responded, and then sat down with Chi Jiao, Yuan Ning, Monk Zhiliao and others, and began to exchange their experiences in cultivation.
After everyone chatted for a while, they saw Yu'e Zhenren and Banbian Zen Master coming back again.
"My dear friends, although we have defeated the evil demons in this competition, there are still powerful figures in the dark who are eyeing us covetously. The final victory in the century-long sword fight has not yet been achieved. Everyone, please remember not to take it lightly..."
Master Banbian patiently warned everyone present and encouraged them, then announced that the small sword duel was officially over and everyone went their separate ways.
Su Rui had originally planned to follow Master Yu'e and ask him for advice on cultivation, but the old immortal simply said, "Master has matters to attend to. You should return to the mountain with Yuan Ning and the others and cultivate more to accumulate merit." He then transformed into a flash of sword light and vanished, as if afraid Su Rui would harass him. This left Su Rui feeling somewhat helpless, and he could only scratch his head.
"Senior Brother Yuan, you guys go back first, I still have some mundane matters to take care of!" Su Rui was originally preparing to return to Qingcheng Mountain with Yuan Ning and other fellow disciples, but he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a small blood pool in the magic cave, so he planned to go and see if it was still there. If it was still there, he would use it to feed the immortal vine in Chi Jiao's hand, hoping to make an "immortality fruit" before returning home!
During this small sword duel, Yuan Ning witnessed Su Rui's strength, so he didn't say anything about his independent action. He just nodded and said, "Junior brother, you have made great contributions this time. Uncle Yu'e has specifically instructed me to report your contribution to the headmaster. Junior brother, remember to return home as soon as possible to claim your reward, lest the headmaster forget about this matter!"
