Ch519 - Golden Yao Trees and Golden Yao Fruits

In an hour,

When the three teams of fifteen searched around the twelve rooms and found nothing, they returned to the yard again. They saw Liu Mufeng and his Son picking fruits, as well as Jiang Xu, Xiaoyuan, and Uncle Bai waiting under the tree.

Watching half of the fruits on the tree being picked by Liu Mufeng and his Son, Xiao Feifei became anxious. “Big Brother, Third Brother, should we also go pick fruits?”

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Brother Xiao Hui glanced at his Third Brother Xiao Yi and asked for the other party’s opinion.

“Big Brother, it’s getting late. Let’s find an empty room to rest first.” Xiao Yi shook his head as he looked at the fruits on the tree. He had no intention of picking fruits, so he took the rest of the Xiao family to the Palace to rest.

Seeing the Xiao family’s team leaving, the other two teams exchanged glances and also went to the Palace to rest.

Liu Mufeng and Liu Xuan worked hard for another hour, picking all the ripe fruits in the yard, then took the others to find an empty Palace to rest.

Waving his hand, Liu Mufeng directly sealed the entire Palace. After a while, Liu Mufeng had Xiaoyue and Jin Xiao reinforce the seal again. After confirming that everything was safe and sound, Liu Mufeng finally felt at ease and released the other four demon beasts hidden in their sleeves.

The first thing everyone had to do was clean up. Jiang Xu took out the already prepared Dusting Talisman and cleaned the Palace once. The crowd began to spontaneously search around.

Liu Mufeng shook his head helplessly as he stood still watching the others search hard, knocking on the floor tiles, knocking on the walls and groping at the pillars. This Palace was empty, with nothing left. He believed the decorations inside had long been taken away by the cultivators who had visited it before.

Three beds were taken out of his own storage ring, and a table and four chairs were also taken out. Liu Mufeng placed them in the empty Palace, giving this cold and desolate place a sense of home.

Sitting on the chair, Liu Mufeng took out his tea set and brewed himself a cup of tea, then lowered his head and started drinking. After half an hour of searching around, Jiang Xu and the others returned to this side with nothing. Liu Mufeng smiled and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

“In fact, it’s not necessary to have twenty people. The rule is that, if four people carrying the Sea God Token should enter the same yard at the same time, this will trigger the mode of survival of the fittest, which means that at least one pair or one or two people from the four teams must die before this deadlock can be broken. Now there are exactly four teams in the yard, so this deadlock has formed.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at everyone.

“Is it necessary for the twenty of us to kill each other, and only those who stay can leave?” Jiang Xu asked curiously as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

“There’s no need to kill each other. Naturally, someone will die.” Liu Mufeng smiled and said mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu felt very helpless. “You’re just trying to tease people. What’s going on?”

Looking at his dissatisfied wife, Liu Mufeng was amused. Turning to his Son sitting next to him, he asked “Xuanxuan, you tell me.”

“Ah, this Child is not quite sure. But this Child thinks it should be related to those trees and fruits in the yard. Those trees and fruits are all poisonous.” After thinking for a moment, Liu Xuan replied.

“Yes, those trees are called Golden Yao Trees, and the fruits are called Golden Yao Fruits. Both trees and fruits are poisonous. However, this poison does not cause death in an instant, it can subtly affect a person and create many bad illusions. As for cultivators, no one is clean, most of them have killed people. So, as long as some illusions that disrupt the Daoist mind appear, they may explode on their own without anyone else’s intervention.” Liu Mufeng sighed.

“Not only that, if a cultivator lives in an illusion for a long time, it is easy for them to become insane and foolish, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.” Liu Xuan added as he looked at the crowd.

“So scary? So what should we do? Does this poison have an antidote?” Jiang Xu asked as he looked at his own man.

“Yes, the fruit is the antidote. The poison comes from the leaves of the Golden Yao Tree, and although the fruit is poisonous, it can be used to fight the poison.” Liu Mufeng smiled at this.

“Oh, this is why you and your Son picked all the ripe poisonous fruits previously.” Jiang Xu nodded and understood.

“En,I have read about the life story of this Sacred Alchemist with my Master, so I know that this Sacred Alchemist is not only proficient in alchemy, but also has knowledge in medicine, poison, and weapon refining. He was an amazing genius.”

“Wow, he’s so amazing. Not only does he know alchemy, but also knows medical skills, poison skills, and weapon refining skills.” Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu had a look of admiration.

“It’s not that big of a deal. Isn’t it that our family’s Mufeng also has a lot of his own skills? Besides, this old man is a 12th level alchemist, also known as a cultivator at the level of the Supreme Immortal. A cultivator at this level can live for 900 million years. If we think of ways to prolong life, maybe we can live for more than ten billion years. After living for so many years, many skills are naturally better.” Xiaoyue didn’t agree with this.

“En, what Yueyue said makes sense. The other person is older, so they have more skills. How can they compare to Father’s exceptional talent?” Liu Xuan smiled and said the same.

“En, that’s true.” Jiang Xu nodded in agreement.

Watching the Father and Son praise him back to back, Liu Mufeng smirked happily. “How did the topic change to me? Let’s just talk about this Palace! What’s open now are all peripheral Palaces, and the main Palace won’t open until a hundred years later. So, what can be found now is only some things that others don’t want, and we can’t find good opportunities. Only those who can stand out in the process of survival of the fittest after a hundred years can truly enter the main Palace and find better opportunities.”

“Father, how did you know?” Liu Xuan asked in confusion as he looked at his father.

“Yeah, how did you know that the main Palace would open in a hundred years?” Jiang Xu also looked puzzled.

After we were teleported here, we were directly transported to the large square outside the main Palace, where there was a stone tablet with some requirements for treasure hunters written in ancient seal script. The first level was about survival of the fittest. The second level was about the Palace’s great opportunity competition for alchemy skills. The third level was about poison skills competition. The fourth level was about refining tools competition. If we can win all four levels, we can become the inheritors of this Sacred Alchemy Master and receive his inheritance and this Palace’s Immortal artifacts.” Looking at the crowd, Liu Mufeng explained.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu awkwardly shook his head. “I didn’t pay attention to it, but I wouldn’t recognize it even if I did.”

“I saw that stone tablet, which is over three meters high and stood in the Northeast corner of the square. However, the text on the stone tablet was not an ordinary ancient script, I didn’t know it.” After thinking for a moment, Liu Xuan also thought of that stone tablet.

“That ancient seal script is 100 million years older than the ancient script. It’s different from the ancient script that has been passed down now.” Liu Mufeng said truthfully as he looked at his Son. Liu Mufeng has an eidetic ability, so he has learned this type of writing and is already familiar with it. However, others wouldn’t be able to do it, and they would think they’re ghost symbols when they see it. Xuanxuan was quite good at learning about some common ancient scripts, and others didn’t even know the most common ancient scripts, let alone the seal script that appeared earlier than ancient scripts.

“There’s no problem with Alchemy and Poison skills. I don’t have any problem with the Refining Skills either. This time we’ll win.” Xiaoyuan was very happy when she said this.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mufeng frowned. “Although I am an eighth level alchemist, an eighth level poison master, and you are also an eighth level craftsman. However, we may not be able to win, there is still a ninth level alchemist. That Xiao Yi, the Third Young Master of the Xiao family, is the ninth level alchemist.”

“What’s so remarkable about that ninth-level alchemist? At most, his alchemy skills are just a little more powerful than Master, but he must be completely ignorant in Poison techniques, otherwise they would have been competing with us for those fruits long ago. How could they look at us with such disdainful eyes?”

“En, Xiaoyuan is right. I don’t think those three groups of people have any Poison Masters. If they knew the wonderful use of those fruits, there was no reason for us to all pick it.” Nodding, Jiang Xu also felt that this was the truth.

“There are always people who are more talented than us. Don’t underestimate everyone. With over a thousand people here, there will always be some capable people. So, we must be careful. In a while, Xuanxuan and I will refine the fruits into a detoxifying pill. At night, everyone will take one pill each. For seven days, don’t leave this Palace for now. Don’t pay attention to the other fifteen people. After the Palace gate opens, we will leave here.” Looking at the crowd, Liu Mufeng made such arrangements.

“Okay!” The others nodded and agreed.

“Mufeng, the Xiao family sisters are unreasonable, they did not want to pay for the damage to your flying magic artifact, Xiao Wen even tried to kill and rob us with other people, should we take the opportunity to get rid of them?” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu felt a sense of hate and determination in his eyes.

“No need to do anything, there are two ninth level cultivators among the five of them, which are not easy to deal with. Just let them live and die on their own.” Liu Mufeng shook his head as he felt that there was no need for that.

“Oh!” Upon hearing his lover say this, Jiang Xu nodded and didn’t say anything more.
