With his curious baby-like appearance, it is hard to associate him with the "devil king" who turned the fairy world upside down.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what kind of rare treasure is in this valley that attracts so many cultivators?"
Ye Chen tugged at the sleeve of a bearded man beside him and asked with feigned curiosity.
"Boy, you're only at the Qi training level, and you dare to come to this valley to look for treasure? Are you here to die?"
The bearded man glanced at him sideways, and seeing that he looked like a child, he seemed a little impatient.
Ye Chen was not annoyed, but shrank his neck with a look of "fear" and said in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist, I'm new here too. I heard some rare treasures were discovered here, so I wanted to try my luck and improve my strength. I hope you can give me some pointers."
As he said this, he secretly stuffed a low-grade spirit stone into the bearded man's hand.
The bearded man weighed the spirit stone in his hand, his expression relaxed slightly, he cleared his throat, and then said slowly:
"Since you're relatively sensible, I'll tell you. It's said that there's a thousand-year-old spiritual fruit tree growing in this valley. It only produces a 'Nine-Transformation Golden Spirit Fruit' every thousand years. Consuming it can cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones, improving your cultivation. It's a rare treasure!"
Ye Chen opened his mouth in pretended surprise, his eyes full of desire.
However, this "Nine-Turn Golden Spirit Fruit" did help Ye Chen to remove the seal on his cultivation, and he was determined to get it.
After half a day's trek, everyone finally arrived at the mysterious valley.
The valley entrance was shrouded in clouds and mist, and filled with spiritual energy. A few towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves could be vaguely seen, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
At the entrance to the valley, there was a bustling crowd of people.
Strong men from all sides came one after another, some of them were riding flying swords, with sword energy surrounding them; some of them were riding exotic beasts, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
Among these many powerful people, Ye Chen, a young cultivator at the first level of Qi training, stood out.
"Hey, where did this brat come from? How dare he join in the fun at the Qi training level?"
A burly man laughed loudly, causing people around him to burst into laughter.
"Humph, you don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. I'm afraid you don't even know how you died."
A monk with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks glanced at Ye Chen with disdain.
"How can a weakling like you covet such a treasure? Go home and feed your mother!"
Someone said sarcastically.
Ye Chen remained calm and disdained the ridicule of these people.
In Ye Chen's eyes, they were just a group of frogs in a well, laughing at the gods coming down the mountain.
He secretly observed the surrounding environment and memorized the terrain in his mind.
Afterwards, he laid down a series of secret restrictions, waiting for the right time to catch all those who laughed at him!
After Ye Chen arranged everything, he sneered in his heart and followed the team into the depths of the valley.
"Look! What is that?!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed and pointed to an open space deep in the valley.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange fruit tree growing in the open space, its entire body golden.
The branches and leaves are full of fist-sized golden fruits, emitting an enticing fragrance. They are the legendary "Nine-Turn Golden Spirit Fruit"!
The moment everyone saw the Nine Revolutions Golden Spirit Fruit, their eyes were filled with greed and desire.
"Haha, this treasure is mine!"
The burly man rushed out first, completely disregarding everyone else.
“Grab it!”
I don't know who shouted, but the originally calm crowd suddenly became boiling with excitement. Everyone rushed towards the spiritual fruit tree, fearing that they would be left behind.
For a moment, the scene fell into chaos. Strong men from all sides took action one after another. Magic lights intersected and the sound of magic weapons colliding was endless.
Ye Chen deliberately fell to the back of the crowd with a sly smile on his face.
"boom!"
Just as everyone was about to approach the spiritual fruit tree, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a series of formations and restrictions were suddenly activated, trapping everyone inside.
"What's going on?!"
"Damn it! This is a trap!"
…
The sudden change caught everyone off guard and they all panicked.
Ye Chen used the technique of "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" and turned into a stream of light. He easily crossed the formation restriction and came to the spiritual fruit tree.
He picked all the ripe "Nine Revolutions Golden Spirit Fruits".
Ye Chen looked at the unlucky guy trapped in the formation, with the corners of his mouth raised in a smug smile.
Then he took the Qiankun bags of a few unlucky guys into his pocket.
Those unlucky guys who were taken advantage of by him didn't react until this time and started cursing, but it was useless as they were trapped in the formation.
Ye Chen was about to leave when suddenly several powerful auras descended, blocking his way.
Three powerful men in the fusion stage appeared in front of him and blocked Ye Chen's way.
"Ancestor, he was the one who picked all the Nine Revolutions Golden Spirit Fruits."
A young man in the formation shouted to an old man with white hair and beard.
"oh!"
The old man glanced at the young man in the formation.
"Interesting! A kid at the first level of Qi training dares to come here. How about this? Hand over the Nine Transformations Golden Spirit Fruit, and I'll spare your life!"
The old man was calm and composed, looking down at Ye Chen condescendingly. With his Qi training at the first level, he could easily crush someone to death.
"Haha, I picked the Nine-Transformation Golden Spirit Fruit with my own hard work. Seniors, you are trying to take it away by force!"
Ye Chen was not panicked at all. He estimated that with the formation he had set up in advance, escape should not be a problem.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't hand it over, you'll die!"
One of the middle-aged people in the fusion stage shouted impatiently.
Ye Chen snorted coldly: "Then you come and try it!"
After saying that, he flashed and used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch to escape into the distance.
"That kid has hidden his cultivation level. He's not in the Qi training stage."
The three powerful men in the fusion stage knew that they were fooled by Ye Chen and quickly chased after him.
While fleeing, Ye Chen cleverly activated the formation he had set up in advance to trap them.
For a moment, light flashed and the formation was activated, temporarily trapping the three strong men inside the formation.
"This kid actually set up a formation in advance!"
A strong man said angrily.
Ye Chen took this opportunity and headed towards the deepest part of the valley.
The three powerful warriors worked together to break all the formations.
"Don't let him get away!"
The strong man in the lead roared and increased the speed of pursuit.
Those independent cultivators and sect disciples were also chasing after them.
Ye Chen kept running towards the deepest part of the valley. The deeper he went, the more monsters there were and the stronger they were.
Ye Chen had a smug smile on his face as he attacked the monster, hit it once and ran away. Even the monster sleeping in its nest was slapped.
Angry roars of monsters were heard from the valley.
Ye Chen's provocation successfully angered many monsters.
For a moment, the entire valley seemed to explode, and the monsters chased after Ye Chen.
The three powerful men in the fusion stage were about to catch up with Ye Chen, but a large group of angry monsters appeared in front of them and followed behind Ye Chen.
