Chapter 52
"The Burial Grounds are not open to casual entry now. The five major sects and some demons said they want to investigate the situation inside. It is unknown when it will be open for trials again. So our mission ends here. You can have a good rest now."
Although Wen Wan's cultivation level is much higher than hers now, she still can't help but treat Wen Wan like a younger sister, and her tone is inevitably somewhat doting.
"Oh right, Sect Leader Mo is here too. It was Sect Leader Mo who led the repair team. After all that happened, the training couldn't continue, so the Sect Leader came to pick us up personally."
"Oh, and also, it seems that Sect Leader Mo saw through Lin Zhu's identity at a glance, but he didn't say anything and let him go."
After this battle, Liu Qingqing was unusually talkative.
"Chu...Lin Zhu has left?" Wen Wan asked.
Liu Qingqing nodded: "Yes, it's good that he left, after all, his identity is special. However, I was surprised that Wang Jinyan did not complain."
"Wow, Junior Sister Wen, we heard you woke up, so we came to see you."
The voice arrives before the person is seen.
Fan Kaiyu, that lovable rascal, showed up all excitedly, followed by Senior Brother He and Senior Sister Mo.
As soon as he entered, he looked Wen Wan up and down.
"What are you doing, kid?" Liu Qingqing said with amusement.
"Shh!" Fan Kaiyu said mysteriously, "Never before has such a young person at the Great Ascension stage or above appeared in the cultivation continent. I have to observe him up close, hehe."
"Junior Sister Wen, how about it? Don't you feel like everyone under the heavens is an ant?"
Fan Kaiyu was such a chatterbox; it would be dark by the time he finished talking. Helpless, Mo Qingyin walked around to him and asked with concern, "Junior Sister Wen, how are you? You've broken through so much at once. Can your body handle it?"
"It's alright, Senior Sister Mo, I'm eating well." Wen Wan patted her chest and replied, "Thank you everyone for taking care of me these past few days."
"I'm saying all this because we're all counting on you to protect us on this trip."
Everyone knows that they survived this time entirely thanks to Wen Wan.
Otherwise, if they were to end up in Qicun, they would either be left to die or forever trapped in that small world.
"Senior Brother He," Wen Wan said shyly, holding the pendant around her neck, "thank you for the pendant. It's very important to me."
"It's just that it's too valuable. I don't have anything of equal value to exchange with you right now, and it has already chosen its owner, so it will probably stay with me for a while."
“It’s alright. It was a gift from my elders. Although I have some talent, I have nothing special about it, so I have never recognized it as my master and used it. I just keep it on my person for safekeeping. Besides, you saved all of our lives on this trip.”
"It's good that you can use it. The greatest value of an item is that it can be used. Otherwise, it will just gather dust here, and I will have to worry about it being targeted by thieves."
Senior Brother He spoke with the demeanor of a true gentleman, and Wenwan admired him from the bottom of her heart.
Fragments of a celestial artifact! So many people have fought tooth and nail for these, and Senior Brother He just gave them to her like that, without even a hint of heartache.
Moreover, its function is probably not just to prevent others from probing her cultivation level. There are many similar spiritual artifacts, and the Linglong Heart is definitely the most effective. As for its other functions, we can explore them slowly in the future.
In short, she had no choice but to accept the exquisite heart pendant; no matter how you looked at it, she was making a huge profit.
She busied herself with the items in her spatial storage, taking out bags and bags of pills, talismans, and spiritual fruits, stuffing them all into Senior Brother He's arms, leaving the others watching in stunned silence.
"Wow, so many! High-level Gale Talisman! High-level Flame Talisman! High-level Invisibility Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Soul-Suppressing Talisman!!"
Fan Kaiyu's eyes were opened wide, and he looked at the pills: "Malaria-Breaking Pill, Vitality-Boosting Pill, Life-Extending Pill, Marrow-Cleansing Pill! All of them are high-grade pills!!"
"And there are also high-grade spirit spring fruit, spirit rhinoceros horn, mist-hidden flower, secluded valley orchid, golden sunflower, moon shadow grass...!"
"Mrs. Wen! Please have mercy and give me some food."
Fan Kaiyu immediately tried to curry favor with the powerful figure.
Waaaaah, is Junior Sister Wen really that rich? We're both sword cultivators, yet our fates are so different! We were supposed to be the poorest sword cultivators! Junior Sister Wen, you betrayed the organization!
"This...Junior Sister Wen, this...this is too much..."
Wen Wan suddenly showered him with so many rare and precious herbs, leaving He Si completely flustered and speechless.
He was also a sword cultivator and a disciple of the Discipline Hall. He was always fair and honest, and he was quite poor. He had never seen anything like this before.
"Not much, not much. All of these combined can't compare to your exquisite heart pendant. Besides, I've already used up a lot of them on this trip. Senior Brother He, please keep them without worry, otherwise I won't feel at ease," Wen Wan said.
The others were incredibly envious, but they also knew that the exquisite heart that He Si had brought out was just what Wen Shimei needed in her time of need, especially since the exquisite heart was priceless and hard to find.
Regardless, this is what he deserves. At worst, he can secretly ask Junior Sister Wen for a few elixirs later.
Everyone remained outwardly calm, but secretly they were all thinking the same thing.
“This…” He Si was about to say something when Liu Qingqing interrupted him: “Senior Brother He, just accept it. Since Wan’er can give you these things, it means she doesn’t lack them. If you don’t accept them, she won’t feel at ease holding onto the Linglong Heart.”
She nodded gently in agreement.
The other two also advised him to accept it without worry.
"Then... I won't refuse." With an excited heart and trembling hands, He Si silently put the items into his spatial storage.
He finally made a fortune!
Looking at Fan Kaiyu, who was eagerly waiting, she suddenly remembered the fruit that Xiaohua had given him before he left the village.
"Clang, clang, clang." Fan Kaiyu took out some fruit and waved it around in front of everyone: "Look, what's this?"
Several people curiously gathered around and took a closer look, but they had never seen it before and did not recognize it.
"I've never seen a fruit that's completely green and has an icy, translucent feel before. It looks like a spiritual fruit," Mo Qingyin said.
Wen Wan recalled the information she had read and said uncertainly, "This looks like a Heavenly Spirit Fruit."
"Heavenly Spirit Fruit?"
None of them had ever heard of this fruit, and Fan Kaiyu asked with the utmost concern, "What is the use of this fruit?"
"The Heavenly Spirit Fruit contains the essence of heaven and earth. After consumption, it can quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a short period of time, accelerating the improvement of cultivation. However, the effect will be reduced if you eat too much." Wen Wan continued to explain: "It can be said that the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was the first fruit discovered in the cultivation world that could increase cultivation. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit grows naturally, has a sweet taste, can be eaten directly and has no side effects, and was the most popular fruit at that time."
"At that time, cultivators frantically picked and ate the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in order to quickly improve their cultivation. Later, as more and more spiritual fruits appeared, and the more Heavenly Spirit Fruit was eaten, the weaker its effect became, it became less popular and gradually faded from people's sight."
"But given its fame at the time, cultivators, with the mentality that even a mosquito is meat and it's better to eat it than nothing, would still pick the Heavenly Spirit Fruit without hesitation when they saw it."
"Therefore, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit became increasingly rare, while better spiritual fruits became more and more common. People gradually overlooked its existence, which led to its disappearance at some point. For hundreds of years afterward, this fruit did not reappear in the cultivation world."
"This kind of fruit is basically no longer found on the mainland. It's normal that you don't recognize it. I only saw it in an ancient book."
After listening attentively to Wen Wan's explanation, Fan Kaiyu happily asked, "Then isn't this Heavenly Spirit Fruit unique in the cultivation world right now?"
"If I auction it off, can I get a high price? Then I can use the money to buy lots and lots of pills and talismans!!"
Fan Kaiyu had already envisioned his path to wealth and success, leading him to the pinnacle of life.
"You're overthinking it." Mo Qingyin shattered his illusions: "Although your Heavenly Spirit Fruit is rare, you only have one fruit, and its effects may not even be as good as the Spirit Spring Fruit, unless you can cultivate it."
Fan Kaiyu looked at Wen Wan with sparkling eyes: "Junior Sister Wen, you know so much, tell me how to cultivate them, and I'll give you ten percent of the money when we make it."
With a gentle smile, she shattered his last illusion without hesitation: "Only fruits that fall naturally will automatically take root and sprout, and then they can be transplanted and cultivated. But this fruit was picked when it was ripe, not fallen naturally, so it cannot be successfully planted. Therefore, eating it is your best choice."
"By the way, where did you get this fruit?"
It's no wonder Wen Wan was curious. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit has been extinct in the cultivation world for thousands of years, so the sudden appearance of a fruit is indeed intriguing.
"Hehe, this was given to me by Xiaohua." Fan Kaiyu said proudly, "Xiaohua only grew this one fruit, and she gave it to me. Even her own brother didn't have one."
So it was a product of a small world. No wonder. It's a pity it can't be cultivated. If it could be cultivated, it could indeed make a fortune, since the effects of consuming the Heavenly Spirit Fruit for the first time are quite good.
So many things happened afterward, and I don't know how the village is doing now. It's a pity that I may never have the chance to go back.
However, once the village's problems are solved, both the "scarecrows" that turned out of the courtyards and the polluters of Qi Village will return to normal. It is believed that the two guardians will lead them to a better future.
By the way, the bone finger that Senior Brother Yan gave her was the last trace of the village god's consciousness sealed away. Could it be a coincidence?
"Junior Sister Wen, here you go." Liu Qingqing took out her money pouch and handed it to Wen Wan: "As agreed, we will each give you 100 high-grade spirit stones to repay your life-saving grace."
"Wow, thank you, Senior Sister Liu." It's high-grade spirit stones! 100 high-grade spirit stones!!
After carefully putting away Senior Sister Liu's money pouch, Wen Wan happily looked behind Senior Sister Mo and Fan Kaiyu.
Mo Qingyin took out her money pouch and smiled helplessly. Fortunately, she had saved up some money over the years.
Fan Kaiyu felt like the sky had fallen when he saw this. He hadn't made any money, and he even had to pay out 100 high-grade spirit stones, which was all his savings. He should have negotiated with Junior Sister Wen back then.
He Si made a move to reach for his wallet as well, but Wen Wan quickly said, "Senior Brother He, you don't need to. If you need anything in the future, just ask me, and it will all be free, completely free."
Everyone knew it was because of the Linglong Heart Pendant. Fan Kaiyu was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but there was nothing he could do. Who told him he didn't have a celestial artifact to give to Junior Sister Wen? Waaaaah.
