Chapter 51: Blood Dragon Fruit

"You can follow if you want, but if danger comes, you must handle it yourself."

Yuan Hui said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan."

Huang Long looked very happy.

"Kid, you better think carefully. It’s not too late to back out now; it’s very dangerous."

One person teased.

"Danger makes it interesting."

Yun Yi shrugged, not caring at all.

"Wow, you’re quite confident."

One person laughed.

"Alright, by now, the Blood Dragon Fruit should be ripe. We shouldn’t waste any time."

Yuan Hui reminded everyone and then turned first, heading in a certain direction. The others also ignored Yun Yi and followed Yuan Hui.

To them, Yun Yi was just an extra person; having one more didn’t change much, and losing one less didn’t matter. When the crucial moment came, they would probably only look out for themselves, and no one would bother caring for a burden.

"Let’s go, Brother Yun. With your strength, you will definitely be a great help. If you can get Senior Brother Yuan’s approval and be recommended to join the Yanwu family, that would be wonderful."

Huang Long said quietly, walking side by side with Yun Yi at the back, looking a bit excited. However, his injuries were still serious, and it would be hard for him to show great strength in a short time.

"Brother Huang, I still don’t know what mission you all are going on."

Yun Yi said. He was not interested in Yuan Hui’s recommendation; the Identity Jade Card he held was given directly by a master from the Lingyuan Realm, so did he really need a recommendation?

Right now, Yun Yi is most interested in Yuan Hui’s mission. It seems, according to Huang Long, that the Rampage Fire Ape might appear as well.

"This task was taken by Martial Brother Yuan Hui from the Task Hall. There is a Blood Dragon Fruit Tree in Qianyang Mountain that will soon be ripe. We came to collect the fruit because it is protected by a demon beast, so Martial Brother Yuan Hui brought us along. Of course, this is also an opportunity for us. If we can get a Blood Dragon Fruit, it will greatly help our cultivation. The task states that we can keep the Blood Dragon Fruit we find; we just need to bring back the Demon Spirit of the Rampage Fire Ape. Martial Brother Yuan Hui can exchange it for contribution points, and those points can be used for family resources like spirit stones and Battle Techniques."

Huang Long explained.

Yun Yi understood, although he was not clear about the Yanwu family’s rewards and punishments, he got the general idea.

Yuan Hui took a task from the Task Hall and gathered these helpers to come to Qianyang Mountain, promising them Blood Dragon Fruits once the task was complete.

Yun Yi had seen records of Blood Dragon Fruits before. Their rank among rare treasures is not high, but for Spirit Cultivators of the innate realm, they offer unimaginable benefits, especially for those below the fifth grade of the Innate Realm. If one can obtain a Blood Dragon Fruit, it can significantly boost their blood energy, even allowing them to directly advance a level.

Therefore, the Blood Dragon Fruit is very tempting for Huang Long and the others.

Similarly, the Blood Dragon Fruit is also very tempting for Yun Yi. This treasure is different from the Demon Spirit of a demon beast; continuously refining a Demon Spirit can lead to an unstable foundation.

However, the Blood Dragon Fruit truly enhances one’s foundation and nourishes blood energy, offering great benefits without any harm.

Yun Yi’s life force was seriously harmed, and he only had three years left to live. Although the Blood Dragon Fruit could not help him live longer, it was very helpful for strengthening his life force.

Yun Yi’s eyes sparkled with brilliance. Such a good opportunity, since he had come across it, he would definitely not let it slip away.

"Brother Huang, what is the level of the Rampage Fire Ape that guards the Blood Dragon Fruit Tree?"

Yun Yi asked.

"I heard Martial Brother Yuan Hui say that in the mission records, the Rampage Fire Ape is at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm. However, the Rampage Fire Ape has a group of ape-like demon beasts that guard the Blood Dragon Fruit Tree together, waiting for the Blood Dragon Fruit to ripen. That is why Martial Brother Yuan Hui brought us here, so we could deal with those little demons. With Martial Brother Yuan Hui’s strength, taking on the Rampage Fire Ape at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm will be more than enough."

Huang Long replied.

"Rampage Fire Ape at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm."

Yun Yi murmured, his eyes shining. For him, the Rampage Fire Ape’s Demon Spirit might be even more precious than the Blood Dragon Fruit.

Because inside the Rampage Fire Ape’s Demon Spirit, there existed a powerful Beast Fire called Furious Fire. If Yun Yi could obtain it, he could not only absorb the energy within the Demon Spirit but also make the Furious Fire his own and merge it into the Red Lotus Karma Fire, enhancing the power of the flames.

Similarly, some Spirit Cultivators of the Fire Spirit Body enhance their strength by refining Beast Fire. This is probably why the Yanwu family only rewards their disciples with Demon Spirit and Blood Dragon Fruit.

"Brother Yun, don’t worry. If a fight breaks out, we only need to deal with the small monsters. As for the Rampage Fire Ape, Martial Brother Yuan Hui will handle it. Martial Brother Yuan Hui is a second-class disciple of the Yanwu family and has just advanced to the fifth grade of the Innate Realm. He can easily deal with the fourth grade Rampage Fire Ape."

Huang Long said confidently.

"I hope so."

Yun Yi smiled, but he was afraid that the fourth grade Rampage Fire Ape would not be so easy to handle.

Everyone ran wildly, sprinting for two full hours.

"Look, there’s a flicker of red light ahead."

Someone pointed ahead, and everyone looked to see a valley nearby, where under the sunlight, small flashes of red light sparkled.

"The Blood Dragon Fruit is ripe! Let’s hurry! Once it’s ripe, those apes will pick it."

Yuan Hui’s face was full of excitement as he drew a shiny, cold battle sword and quickly charged into the valley with the wind at his feet.

The others were the same, each showing their War Weapons, unleashing terrifying spiritual power as they got ready for battle.

The quiet valley was not very big, surrounded by steep rocks. In the center of the valley stood a tall tree, over twenty feet high. The tree was bright red; it wasn’t the tallest among the trees, but its trunk was incredibly thick, wide enough for three strong men to surround it.

On the blood tree, a few red leaves grew sparsely. Under each leaf, there was a bright red fruit, each about the size of a fist, glowing with a bloody light, releasing powerful energy that filled the entire valley, creating a scene of beautiful red mist.

"It’s Blood Dragon Fruit, there are eighteen in total."

Someone shouted with excitement; the eighteen Blood Dragon Fruits had all ripened at once, far beyond their expectations. The value of these Blood Dragon Fruits was truly immense.

However, getting these Blood Dragon Fruits was definitely not an easy task.

At this moment, around the Blood Dragon Fruit Tree, dozens of demon apes were cheering, pounding their chests, and howling loudly in celebration.
