Chapter 464: Voices from the Deep Underground!

As they got closer to the location of the Star Fruit seed, the life energy became more intense.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu walked to the tool shed in front, where there were still many vegetable seeds.

He grabbed three seeds randomly and returned to the center of the vegetable garden.

Fang Yu planted all three seeds together in the soil.

Beside him, Su Lengyun kept staring at Fang Yu’s actions, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

But soon, this confusion turned into shock.

The three seeds that had just been planted in the soil began to sprout and break through their shells at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Leaves appeared one after another, and then grew larger.

The entire growth process unfolded before their eyes, lasting about thirty seconds.

In just thirty seconds! They grew from seeds to fully mature plants!

The three vegetables were lush green, no different from other plants in the garden.

Su Lengyun stared at these three vegetables, her face showing not only shock but even more confusion.

This was the first time she had witnessed such a marvel.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu had basically figured it out.

Although he didn’t understand the principle, he was certain that the Star Fruit seed had caused this transformation.

Previously, Fang Yu had questioned why the Star Fruit needed a growth cycle of several thousand years.

Now it seemed that the Star Fruit was definitely not just a sweet fruit!

It was more like a source of life force! Able to provide endless vitality to surrounding creatures!

“No wonder the Wuji Daoist treasured it so much…” Fang Yu thought to himself.

A life source would be extremely beneficial for ordinary people.

Prolonging life was just its basic function; eliminating all diseases and strengthening the body were its most valuable aspects.

Although these effects weren’t particularly useful for Fang Yu.

But Fang Yu wasn’t thinking about just this aspect.

Now that this soil had been infused with the Star Fruit seed, it could make living organisms grow rapidly.

Such abundant life force should be able to nurture any living being.

If…

Fang Yu had a bold idea in his mind, but he didn’t want to act on it yet.

He would wait until he broke through to the ten-thousandth layer of Qi Refinement first.

“I haven’t eaten for over ten days and I’m a bit hungry. Let’s have a meal here.”

Fang Yu said to Su Lengyun, who was still in a daze beside him.

Twenty minutes later, Fang Yu and Su Lengyun sat on two stones by the small stream, each holding a bowl of fresh vegetable soup.

“Lengyun, you should drink more, it’s extremely beneficial for your health,” Fang Yu said.

“Mm.”

Saying that a bowl of vegetable soup could bring tremendous benefits to one’s body would probably invite ridicule.

But Su Lengyun always believed Fang Yu’s words unconditionally, and she had witnessed the growth process of the vegetables herself, knowing they were far from ordinary.

Seeing Fang Yu drink his entire bowl of soup in one go, Su Lengyun also lowered her head and took a small sip.

Having abstained from food for so long, she no longer had much concept of taste.

But as this sip of vegetable soup went down, she felt a wave of comfort, as if all the pores in her body had opened up.

“Brother Yu, why is this vegetable garden…” After a few more sips, Su Lengyun couldn’t help but ask.

“I got a seed called the Star Fruit from an old guy, then buried it in the soil of the vegetable garden. Everything you just saw was caused by that seed,” Fang Yu said.

“Star Fruit?” Su Lengyun frowned slightly; she had never heard of such a fruit.

“It’s an extremely rare variety, and I don’t know much about it either. The only thing I can tell you is that it’s like a small source of life force,” Fang Yu said.

Life source…

Su Lengyun’s beautiful eyes flickered.

“It tastes really good, I’ll have another bowl.” Fang Yu stood up, wanting to get more vegetable soup.

“Brother Yu, let me get it for you.” Su Lengyun rose and took the bowl from Fang Yu’s hand, walking toward the iron pot set up on stones not far away.

Fang Yu was about to sit down and rest for a moment when his brows furrowed.

He sensed an unusual presence.

This presence wasn’t coming from above ground, but from below!

And it was very close, very near to the surface.

Surveillance?

Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold as he stood up and strolled leisurely along the stream.

Su Lengyun, who had just filled a bowl with vegetable soup, turned around to see Fang Yu walking forward and was about to ask him something.

But at that moment, Fang Yu suddenly raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground!

“Bang!”

The ground beneath his foot exploded.

Fang Yu’s right fist formed a claw and grabbed into the shattered ground!

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, Fang Yu’s right hand pulled up a python-like creature.

It was completely black, with shiny scales that looked extremely hard.

Other than that, it didn’t look much different from a normal python.

At the moment, it was desperately twisting its body, trying to break free from Fang Yu’s grip.

“The Immortal Tribe again?” Fang Yu’s eyes were ice-cold.

He hadn’t forgotten his cooperation with Mo Xiu.

Although they eventually discovered that the spirit vein wasn’t a real one, he had obtained that origin core because of it and broke through several levels.

So, Fang Yu wouldn’t go back on his word.

Regarding the Immortal Tribe, Fang Yu himself had many doubts, and he also very much wanted to confront that huge shadow beneath the ground, the so-called Immortal King.

Having just returned to Xiang City, the other party had come to his doorstep, which was exactly what Fang Yu wanted.

The python’s eyes glowed red as it opened its huge mouth, extending its long tongue, fully exposing a pair of sharp venomous fangs.

“Hiss… Hiss…”

It made terrifying sounds toward Fang Yu, shooting toxic liquid from its two fangs.

Fang Yu completely ignored its struggles and directly released his divine consciousness, entering the python’s soul.

He wanted to search through the python’s memories to track down the location of the Immortal Tribe.

But when Fang Yu entered the python’s soul, all he saw was darkness.

There were no memory fragments at all.

Fang Yu frowned, scanning deeply before withdrawing his divine consciousness.

There were only two possibilities for a soul without memories. The first was that some technique had been used to conceal the memories.

The second possibility was that the creature before him simply didn’t have the ability to form memories.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the python’s eyes.

Red light was flickering in the python’s eyes.

After looking for about three seconds, a cold smile appeared on Fang Yu’s face, and he said, “Immortal King, right? Since you’re so interested in me, why don’t we meet face to face, instead of sending such a low-level creature to monitor me?”

The python naturally wouldn’t answer Fang Yu’s words.

But somewhere deep underground, in a cave, that pair of enormous eyes suddenly changed their expression!

“Tell me your location, and I’ll come find you right away. We can have a drink together,” Fang Yu continued.

The python before him opened its mouth wide, still making hissing sounds.

“I never expected that among the lowly and inferior human race, there would emerge someone like you, worthy of my attention.”

At this moment, a deep voice came from the python’s mouth.

Fang Yu’s eyes sharpened.

He knew this was the voice of the Immortal King.

“It’s so uncomfortable talking from such a distance. Let’s meet face to face, what do you say?” Fang Yu smiled.

“There’s no need to rush. We will meet eventually. At that time, I will show you my power, the power of our Immortal Tribe,” the Immortal King said slowly.

“But I am in a hurry. I promised someone I would collect information about you and the Immortal Tribe…” Fang Yu said.

“Fang Yu, you are an outstanding human, but still just a human after all. The only thing you need to know is that you have angered me.”

“Believe me, I will devour you alive.”

After saying this, the other party fell silent.

Just hung up like that?

Fang Yu shook the python in his hand.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

At this moment, a rhythmic muffled sound came from the python’s gaping mouth.

This sound…

“Do you hear it? This is the sound of my heartbeat,” the Immortal King’s cold voice appeared again. “I will eventually awaken, and when that time comes, it will be the end for you and humanity.”

This time, the Immortal King’s voice disappeared completely.

Fang Yu frowned slightly and threw the python to the ground.

The python immediately lunged at Fang Yu, attempting to attack.

“Bang!”

Fang Yu stepped on the python’s head.

Soil and stones splattered as the python’s long body instantly stiffened.

Fang Yu turned around, walked to Su Lengyun, took the bowl of vegetable soup from her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
