C1091 Dioscorea Fructus

"They have already entered the sealed area!" Inside the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, looking at the flickering oil lamp on the side of the altar that looked like it was about to disappear, the Zhao Family's Patriarch's face became serious as he spoke to Zhao Jingting beside him.

"Good, the second you enter!" Zhao Jing clapped her hands and laughed. She then said happily, "This way, we can save some time. The sealed land was heavily forbidding and was filled with dangers. Even though he had a huge lucky chance, it was impossible for him to pass through this place to obtain a chance at survival. "

"It would be best if things went as you say." The expression of the head ancestor of the Zhao Family was cold. He glanced at the flickering oil lamp before speaking slowly, "Since they are fighting in this land of dust, it is time for us to do something serious." "As far as I know, the elders within our clan have been complaining about your recent performance. Remember, regardless of how powerful you are, they are still your elders."

"For the art of phase, the strong is respected. Those elders are just jealous that I entered the Deity Stage before them. " Zhao Jingting sneered. He had just said something disrespectful, but when he saw the Zhao Family's Ancestor's displeased expression, he quickly said with a smile, "Great Ancestor has taught me a lesson. I will be more respectful to the Elders from now on."

"It's good that you know this. An Elder is an Elder after all." Let's go. Take me to see your setup. " The head ancestor of the Zhao Family slowly shook his head, but he did not say anything more. He swept his gaze toward the oil lamp again, and revealed an excited expression, "The wind is about to blow, and a strange phenomenon is about to occur. The day of the revival of Zhao Song's remnants is just around the corner! "

Zhao Jingting faintly smiled. His expression didn't change as he quickly followed the head ancestor. But as he gazed at the back of the old man, his expression turned extremely sinister. If it wasn't to keep the clan from speaking out, he would have already killed this old thing.

The wind and snow were blowing in the air, and the ice house where the Zhao and Song clansmen lived looked like a bulging grave under the wind and snow.

In this land of dust, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The crowd was in a circle, their gazes fixated on the edge of an ice pillar in front of them. As for the thing that was emitting a fishy fragrance into the air, that was precisely where it was rooted. The appearance of this thing was extremely similar to the red dates that could be seen everywhere on the outside. However, its appearance was pitch-black and shiny, as if it was carved out of an inky black jade.

"Earth Yin Fruit, what is that?" Upon hearing this, both Zhang Sanmang and Chen Baian were surprised. They stopped walking and greedily took a few breaths of the fragrance in the air as they looked at Lin Bai with doubt in their eyes. Although they didn't understand where Lin Bai found out about the origins of this item, they could tell from his expression that this item was extraordinary.

"The Earth Yin Fruit is a plant that the corpse receives from the lung qi for many years, and then absorbs the lung qi's filth. It is a product of Yin, Yin, Moon, and Yin years. This thing has no roots, only three stems and one fruit in 30 years. "Although it is rooted in the filth of decay, it is untainted by mud and mud. It is extremely potent and rarely seen in the world. It is said that a ripe fruit can cause a person's bones to turn white."

Lin Bai took in a deep breath and tried his best to calm his emotions. However, his words still contained a slight tremble as he said, "But as far as I know, this thing has long disappeared from the outside world. I never thought that there would be a descendant in this land of dust."

"So mysterious …" Although he did not know where Lin Bai found out about this, he was sure that Lin Bai would not lie to them. He calmed his heart and stared at the Earth Yin Fruit before slowly shaking his head: "Unfortunately, there are only two fruits on this fruit. It will probably take another thirty years for it to mature."

"Even if it's just two pills, it would be pretty good if I could use them to concoct pills …" Lin Bai sighed softly. Even now, he still found it hard to believe his own eyes. Zhang Sanmeng and Chen Baian didn't recognize this item, so he didn't find it strange at all. Because of the records of this Earth Yin Fruit, he only found some clues about it after reading it in the third volume of the He Tu Luo Book.

The Alchemy Scripture recorded the alchemy formulas refined by the alchemists of ancient times to enhance their own mana and strengthen their body. In contrast to those alchemists, the ingredients used to concoct the pill were not poisonous materials like lead or mercury. Instead, they were simply made from precious materials and treasures. The essence would be gathered together to form a pill to be consumed.

When he first saw the pill formula, Lin Bai was overjoyed. He only thought that he had obtained something extraordinary. But after reading the entire pill recipe, he understood that it no longer had any effect on him. The various rare items recorded in the pill formula had been harvested by countless previous generations of grandmasters and had long since disappeared without a trace. Wanting to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine pills had already become an unfathomable thing.

Lin Bai had never been one to do useless work. After seeing that the pill recipes had no place to look for heavenly materials, he did not continue to study them. However, he didn't expect that he would have the chance to meet such a legendary spirit item like the Earth Yin Fruit in this land of dust in his current life.

Moreover, according to the He Tu Luo book, this pill was a pill used to strengthen one's blood essence and vitality. These two Earth Yin Fruits did not seem that impressive. However, if one picked them off, they could produce several medicinal pills that could be used to prolong the life of a seriously ill person.

"Such a good thing. Since it has entered the eyes of the Dao Lord, it naturally cannot be left alive." Zhang SanKuang chuckled, reaching out his hand to grab the Earth Yin Fruit. Seeing his actions of eating the peony, Lin Bai was about to stop him. But before he could say anything, Zhang Sanmeng's fingers flicked and two fruits had already fallen into his hands.

The moment the fruit was in his hand, the branches at the corner of the icicle withering and then falling to the ground, merging with the earth. And at the location where the Earth Yin Fruit had just grown, there was a ghastly white skeleton.

"It really grew from a dead person's body …" Originally, he had planned on directly swallowing one of them alive to try the taste of this miraculous fruit. However, now that he thought about it, this Earth Yin Fruit might have absorbed a lot of the effects of the corpse, he felt that there was a little shadow in his heart, he could not eat it no matter what.

"Let me see." Chen Baian, who was watching from the side, was also excited. He took one from Zhang Sanmeng's hand and examined it carefully, only to see that the Earth Yin Fruit was shaped like a red jujube, but did not have a jujube core. It was translucent like a crystal, and when placed on the tip of his nose, the smell of it was even more refreshing.

Seeing how Chen Baian and Zhang SanKuang held the Earth Yin Fruit in their hands and looked at the rare fruits like naughty kids, Lin Bai couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to tease them for a while. But before he could finish his words, he felt something was wrong. He abruptly turned his head and glanced at the ice pillar before turning back to the crowd, "Senior Brother, Old Chen, quickly withdraw!"

Before Zhang Sanming and Chen Baian could even react, they heard a gust of wind howling by their ears, accompanied by a fishy smell. The fishy smell of the Earth Yin Fruit was completely different from the fishy smell of the Earth Yin Fruit. It was as if something had rotted, causing one to feel dizzy just by smelling it.

It was also fortunate that everyone had struggled on the border of life and death. They felt a sense of foreboding the moment they smelled the pungent wind, and upon hearing Lin Bai's words, they all retreated backwards. They had just taken two steps back when they saw a black shadow appear where the Earth Yin Fruit had been. That black shadow circled around the place where the Earth Yin Fruit grew a few times. When it realized that the Earth Yin Fruit was no longer there, it suddenly turned around and roared at the people around it.

In the hazy light of the snow, everyone could finally see what was in front of them. It was about twenty or thirty centimeters tall, and looked very much like a monkey. However, his eyes were not as agile as a monkey's. Instead, they were bloodshot and filled with a ruthless aura. When his mouth opened and hissed, a few sharp teeth could be seen. It was even more terrifying.

"Hiss!" Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the crowd, as well as the Earth Yin Fruit in the hands of Chen Baian and Zhang SanKuang, the monkey monster seemed to have gone crazy as it raised its head and howled in anger. The sound of this thing had nothing to do with monkeys. It sounded like a snake, and its voice was so sharp that it made people feel dizzy and almost fell to the ground when they heard it.

Looking at the monkey's appearance, Lin Bai tried his best to calm his mind. He wasn't actually surprised by the appearance of this monkey monster. People often said that the places where treasures existed were usually guarded by ferocious beasts. Back then, when he was chasing mountain ginseng with Li Tian Yuan in the Eastern Three Provinces, he had encountered the matter of a Northeast Tiger guarding a branch of rank 5 wild ginseng.

According to Zhao Qinghui, this land that was covered in dust was extremely dangerous. How could there not be a strange beast guarding a treasure place like the Earth Yin Fruit? Although the roar of the monkey was loud, it was only a little bit loud. It looked like it could be stomped to death with one foot, but no one knew what kind of ability it possessed.

Before Lin Bai could react, the monkey-like monster stomped on the ground and pounced at Zhang Sanmeng like a meteor. Its large mouth, which was filled with fangs, was aimed at the Earth Yin Fruit in Zhang SanKui's right hand. It was obviously intending to swallow the Earth Yin Fruit along with Zhang SanKuang's right hand in one gulp.

Such speed! Seeing the actions of this monkey-like creature, Lin Bai's heart couldn't help but shiver. However, he couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He chanted the Nine Secret Words, channeled his mana, and condensed his Dharma Idol as he charged towards the monkey monster.

Although the Dharma Idol's majesty was slightly weakened, its power did not diminish at all. After colliding with the monkey-like creature, his right hand was like a heavy hammer as he punched towards the monkey-like creature. Furthermore, Lin Bai was extremely accurate in his movements. Although everything happened in a split-second, the monkey monster did not even touch Zhang Sanming.

The moment the fist was thrown out, it seemed to contain the power to destroy the world. The fist that had once twisted a person's neck instantly landed on the monkey monster's stomach. But contrary to everyone's expectations, after the two collided, there were no sounds of flesh and blood being torn apart. Instead, there was the sound of clashing of metals, as though the body of the monkey monster was forged from metal.

"Flaming Black Ape!" Heavens, how can there be such a thing in this world? " Chen Baian asked in a shaky voice as he was suddenly enlightened.
