"How do you say that?" Lu Ye humbly asked for clarification.
The effects of xiguoguohe are not fixed. Some fruit kernels have this effect, while others have that effect. There was once a sect on Tianzhou that obtained an xiguo. After using the fruit kernel, it connected them to an unknown small world. Inside this small world, there was an extraordinary spirit vein, with superior and top-grade spirit stones everywhere, priceless in value.

<<<"The fruit cores from these can be directly sold to the Heavenly Machine Treasure Vault, starting at a merit of 100,000!" >>>

"There are also fruit pits that can be placed in some formations as cores, which can multiply the power of the formations several times over. A second-rank sect in the Core Circle got such a fruit pit by chance. Their family's formation is the strongest among all the sects on the Lingxi battlefield, even those from first rank cannot compare."
Li Baxian and Feng Yue Chan discussed the various uses of the fruit kernel, one after another. Lu Ye listened with great surprise. This treasure, which only grew on Qidian Island, was indeed extraordinary.

However, the outstanding performance of the lower-level cultivators this time dashed the plans of the Wan Mo Ling faction. In the past few days, under the leadership of the core circle powerhouses from the Hao Tian League, the cultivators had swept through the state lands layer by layer, killing countless enemies and completely driving out the Wan Mo Ling cultivators who were entrenched here.
Seeing the treasure within reach being snatched away, the Wan Mo Ling faction was naturally unwilling to accept defeat. They had organized several attacks before, but now the Wan Mo Ling faction, whether in terms of low-level or high-level cultivators, was far outnumbered by the Haotang Alliance. Where could they possibly succeed?
But surprisingly, the opposite has happened. Many people have lost their jobs as a result.
Now that Li Baxian and Feng Yue Chan have arrived, even the Wan Mo Ling dares not act recklessly anymore.
It can be foreseen that the coming days should be peaceful. The Haotiantian Alliance will stay here, waiting for the results to mature, and will not take the initiative to attack. Even though Wanmo Ridge is envious and resentful, it can only endure it in silence.
The Lingxi Town Defense War is nearing its end, but before that, the Xi Guo fruit will be ripe.
"There are only nine Spirit Fruit, and so many sects are present. How will they be divided?" Lu Ye voiced his confusion. Such a good thing was definitely desired by everyone, but low-level cultivators had little competitive power. It was impossible for them all to fight here, dividing them based on strength. If that were to happen, it would only give the Wanmo Ridge faction an opportunity to attack."

<<<“In this kind of situation, an auction is usually held.” Li Baxian had clearly experienced many such scenarios and explained to Lu Ye, “Each town guard represents their respective sect and bids. The highest bidder wins. The proceeds from the auction are divided equally among the sects present.” >>>
"That's acceptable." Lu Ye nodded, this way was fair and impartial. Those weaker sects would likely be willing to do this as well. No matter what, they could still share in some benefits.
As time passed, many from the Haotan Alliance were recovering from their injuries. However, more often than not, they gathered in small groups to discuss matters.

The scene here with Lu Ye and Hua Ci is bustling too, with many familiar faces coming over.
At this moment, Lu Ye was fiddling with a small and exquisite mechanical creation. It was a ball with a pair of small wings that could fly. The surface of the ball had two crystal eyes polished into them. Lu Yushan explained the principle of the mechanical creation to him.
This little trinket isn't very useful, it can be seen as a special kind of artifact. After cultivators refine it and release it, it can be used to observe some dangerous places.
"If you, Brother Yè, are interested in this path, feel free to come visit the Thousand Machine Pavilion sometime," Lu Yu Shan warmly invited. After all, they were sworn brothers, and the Thousand Machine Pavilion had never been secretive about their lineage. The School of Enchantment had always been a small sect, and each generation's pavilion master was dedicated to promoting it. Therefore, the gates of the Thousand Machine Pavilion were always open to the major sects of the Haotian Alliance. It didn't matter your background or origins; as long as you were interested in enchantment arts, you could go to the Thousand Machine Pavilion to study and learn.
Although Qianjigong is only of the eighth rank, the lowest among all the factions within the vast Haotian Alliance, its influence and connections are unparalleled. It has forged allianced with numerous sects across the nine great states of the Nine States Continent, ensuring a widespread reach.
Even though the art of crafting puppets (wen shu) requires a natural talent, over generations, Qianji Pavilion has put forth great effort. However, the number of puppeteers remains scarce, especially as their cultivation level deepens. The main reason is that puppeteers rely too heavily on external forces.
When their cultivation is not high, they can use all sorts of magical mechanisms to exert power far exceeding their own. But doing so for a long time will inevitably be detrimental to their practice.

Besides the Beastmaster school, there's also a rare breed known as the Beast Tamer school. These individuals specialize in beast control and choose a designated spirit beast from a young age. They share their meals, living spaces, and lives with these beasts, treating them as lifelong companions.

Whether it's the Diviner school or the Beastmaster school, though they are niche, they are absolutely not to be underestimated. They often manage to triumph over stronger opponents. Their strength lies in their ingenious mechanisms and the beasts they command. One can't judge their true capabilities solely by their cultivation level.

<<<"Lu brother," Lu Ye suddenly remembered something. "Do you guys have those things that are very large in size and can house cultivators inside to fight together? It doesn't necessarily have to be a mechanical beast, humanoid ones would work too. Well, preferably humanoids." >>>
"You said armor?"
Luke suddenly felt interested: "Really?"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"There is, but I can't make it now. I still need to continue my practice." Lu Yushan smiled. "When I can make it one day, I'll give you one."
"Then, thank you, Brother Lu." Lu Ye was filled with anticipation.
??? I don't know if it's the same as what I thought. That's a good thing.
This time, during the Lingxi Town Defense War, he really opened his eyes. The more he understood, the more he realized how unfathomable the cultivation world was.
Although the gathering place was bustling, it did not let its guard down. Outside of the fruit trees ten li away, ghost cultivators were all hidden, observing from all directions to prevent being ambushed by people from the Wanmo Ridge. Although this possibility was unlikely, it was still necessary to be prepared.
At some point, the fruity fragrance suddenly disappeared. The cultivators who noticed it all looked towards the fruit trees. They saw that the fruits there had ripened, with nine blue, plump fruits hanging heavily on the branches.
At the same time, a barrier that had always surrounded the orchard instantly vanished.
The reason why the Wanmo Ling faction didn't destroy the Xi Guo before being driven back was mainly because the Xi Guo tree had natural protection. There was a transparent barrier around the fruit tree, which existed until the Xi Guo matured. Let alone destroying the Xi Guo, you couldn't even get close to it.

If Wan Mo Ling still had this kind of good thing left for the Haottian Alliance when things went south, wouldn't that be a huge risk? If they can't get it, they might as well destroy it.
A pair of eyes watched intently, each filled with longing. Although the uses of the Xiguokē were varied and strange, each had great value. At the very least, they could be sold to the Tiānjī Bǎo kū for 100,000 gongxun.
It can be said that each breath fruit is priceless.
<<< A longing for return yearns, yet no one dares to pluck it. At this moment, whoever dares to act rashly will inevitably be blasted into oblivion.
>>>
"Li Daoist, please!" someone suddenly spoke.
A group of people's eyes turned to Li Baxian.
Li Baxian smiled faintly and cupped his fists with both hands: "Then I shall obey!"
He leapt into the air, standing poised mid-air. He looked carefully between the nine fruits, as if searching for some difference. Then he plucked one and placed it in a wooden box, handling it with great care.
Then he came before Lu Ye, handing over the wooden box. “Junior brother, Junior sister Hua Ci, this is yours.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Li Baxian smiled and said, "This time, you and Hua Ci's junior sister have made such great achievements. The major sects can't just thank you verbally. We discussed before that the share of the spoils will include yours."
Meng Siye looked at Lu Ye, nodding and saying: “This is what the Bixue Sect deserves. Take it.”
Lu Ye's gaze swept across the crowd, meeting eyes filled with smiles and approval.
This sudden stroke of good fortune took Lu Ye somewhat by surprise. Naturally, he wanted such a treasure as Xi Guo, but his fourth senior brother had said that it would be decided through an auction. Here, cultivators represented their respective sects and bid against each other. The highest bidder gets it.
The Blood Sect is now dwindling in numbers. Apart from a few small fry and several spirit peaks, there's nothing of value left within the sect. How could they possibly have the capital to participate in such an auction?
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He thought to himself, it would be nice to share the proceeds from the auction with everyone. It should have been a good sum of money. Who would have thought that such good fortune would fall on him?
<<>>>
Such merits, verbal thanks are simply insufficient to express the gratitude of all major sects. A breath fruit is the truly tangible reward.
As Mengsi said, this is what they deserve. |
