"I, Lin Dong, will know my limits and I will not be that greedy and ignorant." Lin Qing cupped her hands together and said in an indifferent manner.

The black clothed man took a deep look at Lin Qing and did not speak further. Instead, he flicked his sleeves and headed into the cave, following Lin Qing's lead.

Lin Qing clenched her fists tightly, and finally let them go. Since her strength was weaker than his, even if she was restrained by others, she could only silently endure it. When her cultivation reached that level in the future, she wanted to see who would dare to kick her nose in front of her.

Without thinking too much, Lin Qing also followed closely behind the black-clothed man.

Upon entering the cavern, Lin Qing felt a surge of heat that carried a scorching heat wave.

He was already prepared in his heart. A wave of pure spirit energy surrounded him, soaking his body completely in the heat.

Inside the cave, it was dark red in color. The walls were all a fiery red, and it seemed to be abnormally hot.

Walking in the cave, Lin Qing could feel that the deeper she went, the hotter it became.

Lin Qing's expression didn't change, yet her heart was filled with waves of emotions. Rumor has it that there was definitely a strange phenomenon occurring where the treasures of heaven and earth were located. Wasn't the scene right there?

However, although the Crimson Fruit was a treasure, it was extremely useful for warriors who had not stepped into the realm of innate talents. They could use this fruit to either enter the Qi Refining stage or become an innate warrior in one fell swoop.

For those who had already entered the realm of a talented warrior or Qi Refining, although it was useful, it was not as heaven-defying as he had imagined. They were unable to rely on this fruit to break through the barrier and progress further.

After thinking for a long time, she was finally unable to make sense of the situation. Lin Qing decided to stop thinking and followed closely behind the man in black.

As they walked deeper in, the air seemed to catch fire. It was abnormally hot and Lin Qing felt extremely uncomfortable walking around. However, when she looked at the man in black in front of her, her face couldn't help but change.

The black clothed man's steps were light, and the temperature of the cave was like a flower falling in a leisurely manner, causing no ripples.

Although Lin Qing didn't know if it was because the black-clad man cast some spell that caused him to be so unobstructed, Lin Qing was still secretly vigilant in her heart.

After half an incense stick of time, a tiger's roar sounded out, and Lin Qing was greeted by a towering tree.

This tree was blood-red in color. Vines covered the ground, yet there was not a single strand of leaf on it. The vines were old, seeming as though they had experienced countless hardships.

There were five branches at the top of the branches, and each branch had a fiery red fruit.

The fruit seemed to be surrounded by flames, giving it an extraordinary appearance.

Seeing this, Lin Qing already knew that this tree was the Crimson Fruit Tree. And the fruit growing on the treetops was the legendary Crimson Fruit.

Seeing this, Lin Qing's eyes burned with an abnormal fire. She wished that she could immediately jump up and take the Scarlet Fruit.

But even so, Lin Qing was still rational. She immediately suppressed the restlessness in her heart and turned her gaze towards the black-clothed man.

Right at this moment, the black clothed man's gaze shot over. When he saw that Lin Qing was still standing at his original spot, a sliver of satisfaction appeared in his eyes as he said: "You know your own limitations better than I had expected."

Lin Qing smiled but did not say anything. However, her fists had already been secretly clenched.

Turning his head, he stopped looking at Lin Qing and instead looked at the Scarlet Fruit Tree, mumbling to himself, "This trip down the mountain, I never thought I would be able to obtain this opportunity. Not only did I obtain a Scarlet Fruit of good quality, but I also subdued a Scarlet Tiger with great talent.

Lin Qing stood behind the black clothed person. Listening to the words spoken by the black clothed person, he could roughly guess that this person was a person from the Heaven Gate from the rumors.

Although she had guessed it before, she still couldn't hide the astonishment in her heart.

The black-clothed man stepped forward and was about to pluck the Scarlet Fruit when he suddenly heard a sobbing sound from beside him. It was the Scarlet Tiger who was already standing in front of the black-clothed man, begging in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing revealed a pensive expression. It seemed that after being under the protection of the Scarlet Tiger for so many years, he had developed feelings for the tree, and seeing that something that he had looked upon with respect for so many years fell into the hands of another person, his heart involuntarily trembled. He couldn't help but move his body and stand in front of the black-clothed man to protect him.

Unfortunately, the current Crimson Tiger was just like a stray dog to the black-clothed person.

Seeing that his pet beast actually dared to obstruct his path, the black-clothed man's eyes widened.

In the darkness, it seemed like a connection between the red tiger and the black clothed man had occurred. The red tiger's body suddenly trembled and actually let out a blood-curdling screech on the spot.

Lin Qing knew that this was the red tiger that the black clothed man used to recognize its master. As long as the black clothed man thought in his heart, the red tiger would not be able to escape.

"Hurry up and leave!" The black clothed person coldly cried out as his hidden intent immediately disappeared.

Chi Hu's body trembled. He recalled the pain just now. It was a beast that was once like a king. A trace of fear flashed through his unyielding eyes as he retreated to the side.

With a "hmph" sound, the black-clothed man leaped up and his figure blurred. When he returned, the five red fruits on the Scarlet Fruit Tree were all taken by him.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Lin Qing's mouth twitched, but she did not say anything in the end.

After putting the Scarlet Fruit into his bag, the black clothed man could not stop. He pointed with his finger and the bottom of the Scarlet Fruit Tree suddenly shook. The entire Scarlet Fruit Tree was uprooted.

At this time, the black clothed person had already taken out a black bag. Numerous symbols were engraved on the bag. It seemed to contain endless mysteries.

"Return."

With a low shout from the black clothed man, the three meter tall Scarlet Fruit Tree and the vine were all put into the black clothed man's bag.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing could not help but mutter to herself, "Could it be that it is the Sleeve Dimension?"

The black-clothed man turned his head just in time to hear Lin Qing mumbling under her breath. Deep in her eyes, there was a thick sense of ridicule.

Lin Qing also woke up at this moment, and couldn't help but look at the black-clothed man.

After glancing at Lin Qing, the man in black shifted his gaze and scanned the entire cave. After confirming that there was nothing good, he waved his sleeve and turned around.

Seeing this, Lin Qing's face turned cold. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop the black-clothed man from turning back.

"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten about my portion of Scarlet Fruit?" Lin Qing said with a smile.

The man in black's expression turned cold, his eyes full of mockery as he said, "If Sir Lin thinks that I, Long, will give you one, that would really surprise me!"

Lin Qing's face was livid as she coldly said, "What does fellow cultivator mean by that? If you were able to obtain the Scarlet Fruit, how could you have obtained such results without my help?"

"Haha, what a joke. After entering my hands, you still want to take it away from me? Does Sir Lin think that is possible?" The black-clothed man coldly spoke. After he finished speaking, he started laughing maniacally. His laughter was filled with endless ridicule, as though he was mocking Lin Qing's ignorance and childishness.
