Chapter 584: Request

A jade token, pure white as snow, hovered silently in the air, casting a radiant glow.

Thousands of shimmering rays coalesced into an ancient and profound emblem.

This was the sect seal of the West Sea Sect!

Though this ethereal seal held no destructive power, it emanated a lightly imposing aura.

The Golden Core Great Beast’s eye twitched involuntarily.

Instinctively, it withdrew its Golden Core aura.

The West Sea Sect was the foremost immortal sect in the Mountain-Sea Realm; naturally, it recognized the sect seal.

Now, the question arose.

With Yin Sùlán revealing her identity, would such a prominent Golden Core Great Beast still dare to devour her?

The Giant Wolf knew all too well that it did not dare.

True disciples like Yin Sùlán, personally mentored by true immortals, always carried life-saving trump cards when venturing out. Unless the beast could capture both of them simultaneously, ensuring no information leaked, it was a risky endeavor.

Moreover, it had to guard against the divination of Nascent Soul true immortals.

Otherwise, it would have to face the West Sea Sect marching on Mount Taiwu, annihilating it along with its entire clan!

At that point, the Giant Wolf could not expect aid from other great beasts or beast kings in the mountains; they would likely hand over the true culprit who violated the Taiwu Pact.

Given the strength of the West Sea Sect, destroying the entire Mount Taiwu would be no problem if they were willing to pay the price.

“Hmph!”

The Giant Wolf Great Beast, refusing to back down, snorted coldly: “Since you two juniors are sect disciples, I’ll spare you this time for your crimes of slaughter. But don’t let me encounter you again!”

Before the words faded, it conjured a whirlwind and vanished into the vast forest in an instant.

“Tch!”

Yin Sùlán reached out to retrieve her identity token, disdainfully saying to Wang Chen: “These great beasts are experts at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If you encounter them again, don’t be afraid; just reveal your identity.”

“They won’t dare to touch us!”

Her tone brimmed with confidence and pride.

Wang Chen silently thought that this might not be entirely true, but he smiled and replied, “Understood.”

Yin Sùlán seemed to see through his thoughts and, with a slight pout, said: “Of course, there’s no need to provoke them if we can avoid it. Let’s hurry and find the entrance to the secret realm.”

Wang Chen nodded, “Alright.”

“Wait.”

Yin Sùlán suddenly thought of something and halted Wang Chen in his tracks.

This beautiful female cultivator bit her lip, as if making a firm decision: “Brother Wang, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

Wang Chen was taken aback: “What is it?”

After some hesitation, Yin Sùlán finally spoke: “Brother Wang, I brought you here to explore the Biluotian secret realm primarily to search for a type of heavenly material and treasure…”

Yin Sùlán was in search of a treasure known as the "Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit." This spirit fruit thrives exclusively on high-quality spiritual veins, bearing fruit once every three hundred years, with each fruit taking a century to mature!

An ordinary mortal who consumes a Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit can immediately achieve Transcendence and commence Qi Training, even without any inherent cultivation talent.

For cultivators, ingesting this fruit can refine their root bone and elevate their innate potential!

This makes the Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit a heavenly material and treasure capable of altering one’s fate!

“Brother Wang, I am aware of the immense value of the Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit, a treasure that is as rare as it is precious,”

Yin Sùlán spoke earnestly: “I understand that making such a request is presumptuous, especially since entering the Biluotian secret realm is a matter of personal destiny, and seizing treasures by force is not the righteous path.”

However, Yin Sùlán’s quest was not for herself. Her dearly beloved younger brother had been grievously injured by an assailant two years prior, resulting in severe damage to his root bone. Once a prodigy, he had been reduced to a state worse than that of an ordinary mortal.

In her desperation, Yin Sùlán sought the aid of her master, Changhe Zhenren, who managed to enlist a master alchemist to concoct a Heaven-Recovering Pill for her brother.

The Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit was the crucial ingredient for the Heaven-Recovering Pill!

Yin Sùlán had discovered that her sect currently lacked this treasure. While the Wanbao Pavilion could supply one, the exorbitant cost was beyond the means of the Yin family.

During her inquiries, Yin Sùlán learned that the West Sea Sect had previously acquired two Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruits.

Their source was none other than the Biluotian secret realm!

Thus, upon hearing of the imminent emergence of the Biluotian secret realm, she promptly joined the current expedition.

To enhance her chances, Yin Sùlán enlisted Wang Chen’s assistance.

“My master mentioned that you are a man of fortune…”

Yin Sùlán candidly stated: “This time, I wish to leverage your luck to see if we can locate the Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit.”

“Brother Wang, I only require one Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit, and I assure you, you will not be at a loss. Should you acquire it and be willing to part with it, I will allow you to select ten items from the Yin family’s secret vault.”

“Moreover, I have additional rewards for you!”

Wang Chen was visibly moved.

Though he had known his senior sister for a brief period, Yin Sùlán had always struck him as a woman of great confidence and pride.

Yet, for the sake of her brother, she had humbled herself completely.

Truth be told, Wang Chen had little interest in the Yin family’s secret vault and was indifferent to Yin Sùlán’s gratitude.

However, given her sincerity and the gravity of her plea…

After a moment’s reflection, he responded: “Senior sister, should I obtain the Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit within the Biluotian secret realm, I pledge to give you one.”

As Yin Sùlán had explained, a single Tongtong Fruit tree yields multiple fruits, with their potency varying based on the years they have matured.

The older the fruit, the more profound its effect on enhancing the root bone!

Such a treasure was indeed something Wang Chen himself desired, but since the tree bore more than one fruit, he was willing to share one with Yin Sùlán should fortune favor them.

“Wonderful!”

Yin Sùlán’s face lit up with joy: “Thank you, brother!”

“Senior sister, there’s no need for formalities,”

Wang Chen waved his hand dismissively: “Don’t thank me just yet. The Biluotian secret realm is vast, and our time there is limited. I cannot guarantee that I will find the Reverse Spirit Tongtong Fruit.”

“Of course,”

Yin Sùlán smiled warmly: “Your willingness to help is already greatly appreciated.”

“Then let us proceed.”

Their subsequent journey became markedly smoother. The magical beasts they had previously encountered seemed to have vanished into thin air.

However, they did come across two other groups of cultivators.

It was evident that news of the Biluotian secret realm’s emergence in the area had spread far and wide.

As time progressed, more and more cultivators would undoubtedly flock to Mount Taiwu.

This region was not under the jurisdiction of the West Sea Sect, and encountering lawless loose cultivators who cared little for grand sects and would stop at nothing for gain was a real danger.

Nevertheless, both groups of cultivators they encountered were cautious; upon spotting Wang Chen and Yin Sùlán, they chose to avoid them, showing no signs of initiating conflict or attempting any ambush.

As the sky darkened, Wang Chen and Yin Sùlán found themselves a hundred miles from the original landing site of their flying ship.

The dense forests of the deep mountains were a far cry from the open plains; a hundred miles here was a considerable distance.

And Wang Chen’s intuition was growing ever stronger!
