"Thanks."
Zhao Rong raised his hand and wanted to take the fruit from the transparent woman.
But he felt the strength of her hand as she held the fruit tightly.
Zhao Rong immediately understood what the transparent woman meant.
But he already felt guilty about having gotten so much for free, so how could he still have the nerve to let her feed him? Wouldn't that be like being a boss?
So I had no choice but to let go.
But at this moment, the transparent woman let go of her hand first, and Zhao Rong successfully took the fruit.
He first took it in his hand and looked down at it.
The transparent woman waved her sleeves, and the remaining eight green fruits were lined up in a row, floating in front of Zhao Rong, waiting for him to take them.
Behind the two men, nine dead trees that had lost their fruits disappeared one by one like flying ashes.
Then, the entire dead tree forest disappeared in the autumn wind, leaving only the one thousand square white jade steles that had protected it for ten thousand years.
The transparent woman turned a blind eye to these changes and never looked back.
She always faced Zhao Rong, watching him eat the fruit quietly.
Zhao Rong was a little conflicted at this time.
Because they recognized this fruit.
The sword spirit's tone became a little serious: "This fruit is called 'Unknown Age', which means that one does not know the age of the person who came to the human world. It is a kind of immortality medicine. The people in the mountains also call it the Hundred-Year-Old Fruit because..."
"Any living creature that eats this will gain a lifespan of 100 years."
It sighed and said, "This fruit takes a thousand years to mature, and it takes ten thousand years to mature."
Zhao Rong nodded slightly.
It's numb.
As for these rare treasures, he had followed the transparent woman today and experienced a mythical journey. He had seen so many new and strange things that he had become somewhat immune to them.
Now that he had encountered and obtained the rumored elixir of immortality, Zhao Rong was no longer that surprised.
However, when he lowered his head and carefully looked at the inconspicuous green fruit in his hand, he still felt a little numb on his scalp.
This kind of elixir of immortality is no longer a question of whether it is precious or not in the Xuanhuang cultivation world, and it has been in a semi-extinct state.
Use one less plant.
Its extremely slow growth is far behind its consumption rate.
They all grow and mature in cycles of thousands and tens of thousands of years.
Because even if you plant the trees, it is just a thankless task for future generations to enjoy the shade, which is a thankless task.
There are even some monks who sometimes choose to destroy the growing elixir of immortality.
Because they thought they didn't have the longevity to wait for it to fully mature and be eaten.
Therefore, the half-cooked elixir of immortality is particularly prone to premature death.
Only some powerful forces that have stood on the mountain for more than ten thousand years will have the foresight and patience to cultivate them carefully.
Therefore, in the Nine Continents of the Xuanhuang Realm, there are still places where the elixir of immortality can be found. Apart from the four great emperors, the nine electors, and some secret treasures passed down from generation to generation that have been sealed up by some old clans and major forces, the scarce elixir of immortality can only be found in the ancient secret realms and blessed places that have not been explored and mined.
As for the intensity of the competition among the monks who flocked to these secret places after they were opened, there is no need to say more.
Moreover, almost no one would save the elixir of immortality. After the monks obtained it, most of them would use it for themselves and eat it.
It is better to lock in profits.
After all, no one should think lifespan is too long, and every extra breath you can live is precious.
Moreover, some cultivators have worked hard all their lives, busy climbing mountains, but when they are just one step away from breaking through to the next realm, their life span has ended. If they are given another ten years of life, they may be able to break through the realm, their life span will increase dramatically, and they may have hope of achieving the Great Dao...
Such examples are not uncommon given the huge base of cultivators in the world of cultivation.
So in the mountains, the mature elixir of immortality is in short supply.
This still includes those weak elixirs of immortality that can only increase lifespan by a dozen or several dozen years.
The coin in Zhao Rong's hand is "Unknown Age".
After eating one, you can extend your life by a hundred years!
Nine of them can provide Zhao Rong with a total of 900 years of life.
Even if he did nothing and just wandered around all day, leading a shameless life with Qingjun and Xiaoxiao, he could still live comfortably and shamelessly for nearly a thousand years.
Longer-lived than many other alien monsters.
There was silence between Zhao Rong and Gui, neither of them spoke.
Zhao Rong thought about it and didn't eat immediately. He said to the transparent woman who was staring at him intently:
"Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
The transparent woman nodded.
She laughed again.
Zhao Rong glanced at her shadow, thought for a moment, and said seriously:
"Then let's make a deal first. After I eat your fruit, you are not allowed to suddenly turn against me and detain me and not let me leave. You are not allowed to ask me to return your life span or stay here for a few hundred years..."
"This is a sting operation. We are friends now, but our friendship cannot withstand the storm..."
Zhao Rong laughed as he spoke, then he restrained his smile and said seriously:
"Nice to meet you. Well, we've been walking around for so long, and I don't know what to call you, or where you come from. But we're both wanderers, so why should we know each other when we meet? I won't ask about your origins... So, I'll call you... little sister, but you're not allowed to call me little brother... My name is Zhao Rong, courtesy name Ziyu, you can..."
Zhao Rong paused because the transparent woman suddenly pulled at the corner of his clothes.
"What's wrong?"
The transparent woman pointed at him with her right hand, and then pointed to the sky with her right hand.
She pointed at herself with her left hand, and then pointed at the ground with her left hand.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, "You mean, you want to be younger than me? You want me to be older than you?"
The transparent woman nodded, raised her hand and pushed the fruit in Zhao Rong's hand, indicating that he should eat it.
Zhao Rong couldn't help but smile.
Damn, why does even a woman with a residual soul care so much about age? The younger she can look, the better.
He had no choice but to straighten his face and continue nodding seriously, "Okay, I'll take care of you and be the handsome and dashing little brother for once, and you'll be the lively and lovable little sister."
The transparent woman suddenly became happy, put her hands behind her back, and spun around Zhao Rong excitedly.
She seemed to enjoy this brother-sister relationship.
After adopting a wild sister, Zhao Rong suddenly felt relieved of his psychological burden.
We are all family, why should we be so formal?
So he quickly finished the "Unknown Years" in his hand.
Natural life span suddenly increases by a hundred years.
He took a deep breath and vaguely felt some shackles in his body, which broke with a crisp sound, and the fire dragon energy in his body became stronger!
The transparent woman waved her hand, allowing the remaining eight fruits to move closer to Zhao Rong.
Signal him to take it.
Seeing this, Zhao Rong raised his hand and prepared to collect it and take it away.
But he has not forgotten his mission of giving away money.
Then the transparent woman reached out and stopped him.
So Zhao Rong thought about it and ate another "Unknown Years".
Life span increases by another hundred years.
The transparent woman still shook her head.
It was not until he ate the third fruit that she nodded slightly and stopped trying to stop him.
Zhao Rong put away the six "Unknown Years" coins.
At this time, his life span has increased by 300 years, plus his own Fuyao Realm life span bonus, and the Zhuyan Bingniang wine he drank in Xia Chongzhai not long ago...
"Gui, what do you mean? I can now live handsomely for more than 400 years."
Zhao Rong suddenly became full of energy for his future life without shame or haste.
Gui thought about it seriously and uttered two words:
"Prison."
Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the sword spirit was pointing at itself.
Zhao Rong: “…”
Just as he closed his eyes, digesting the elixir of immortality and immersed in his mind, he suddenly felt a soft touch.
This is true both in the arms and on the face.
Zhao Rong opened his eyes.
It turned out to be the transparent woman, who came forward, bumped into his arms, and held his face with both hands.
She raised her head slightly to look around.
“…”
The atmosphere between the two of them became quiet.
In fact, Zhao Rong did not feel any ambiguous and charming atmosphere.
After all, what he was facing at this moment was... a ball of transparent air.
There is nothing in front of me, and it is hard to feel anything.
Zhao Rong even had time to say to the purple-robed sword spirit in his heart:
"Gui, how do you say that? The handsomeness of this young master's new face has transcended the boundaries of race and the separation of yin and yang, reaching the realm of... being able to kill both humans and ghosts."
Gui thought about it again and asked doubtfully: "You don't even let go of the air?"
Zhao Rong: “…”
The transparent woman held Zhao Rong's face and looked at him for a long time.
Zhao Rong suddenly asked: "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
The transparent woman said nothing, put down her hands and stepped back.
However, the hand she put down did not leave Zhao Rong's body.
Zhao Rong felt a transparent hand reaching into his arms, and finally took out the Sumeru object from his arms.
Zhao Rong raised his hand and grabbed her hand.
The transparent woman stopped moving, holding Zhao Rong's Sumeru pendant in her hand. She did not struggle, but looked at him.
Noticing her quiet gaze, Zhao Rong thought about it and finally let go of her hand.
The transparent woman took his Sumeru object and lightly tapped it with her index finger, breaking its restriction with ease, even easier than what Zhu Yourong's projection had done in the imperial mausoleum hall not long ago.
Zhao Rong's mouth twitched when he saw this.
But he still muttered to himself to comfort himself: "It's normal for a sister to like to look through her brother's things..."
The transparent woman's hands kept moving as she opened the Sumeru object.
A flick of the finger.
Two things were taken out of it.
A bloodstained scabbard.
With a grey pipe.
Zhao Rong took a look and realized that when he woke up in the hall not long ago, he had put the two objects into the Sumeru object.
All that was left of Wen Jian was the scabbard engraved with the pattern of the Mysterious Bird of Destiny; the sword itself was taken away by Luo Xiu.
Just now, when Xiaoyu brought the message for Luo Xiu and returned his things, he did not mention the sword.
Zhao Rong didn't care and just considered it as a gift to her.
As for the gray pipe, Zhao Rong had some ideas, but he was afraid that there might still be traces of the enemies' tricks on it, so he planned to deal with it later.
But at this moment, both objects were picked out separately by the transparent woman.
Under Zhao Rong's curious gaze, the transparent woman lowered her head and first grabbed the blood-stained scabbard.
She held it in her right hand and gave her wrist a slight shake.
He shook out the snow-white sword energy of the Mo Xia who was halfway to the seventh realm.
The snow-white sword energy that had been lurking before was about to explode.
The transparent woman reached out and gently grabbed it.
The snow-white sword energy immediately gathered into a ball and entered her Five Finger Mountain.
Flowing quietly in the palm of your hand.
The woman seems to be holding water in her hands.
The other hand still held the bloodstained scabbard.
She used the 'water' transformed from the snow-white sword energy to wipe the blood stains on the scabbard.
The scabbard is as clean as new.
After finishing all this effortlessly, the transparent woman turned her head and seemed to be looking at the ordinary, harmless gray pipe...
