In the midst of the cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.

As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Lin Fei stood at the entrance of the cave, originally planning to leave while the opportunity presented itself. The treasures he had obtained from the demon beast's lair were enough to make countless people envious. However, at this moment, Lin Fei's mood was terrible, to say the least, extremely bad!

A martial arts expert of the Eighth Heaven, a master of Gang Qi, was watching closely, not far from the demon beast's lair. The previous lightning strike still left Lin Fei with lingering fear. The powerful and ferocious Chi Yang Demon Monkey couldn't even withstand one strike, being mercilessly killed. Although there was a certain degree of exaggeration, a genuine Eighth Heaven martial arts expert was not to be underestimated!

...

"Please wait, my lord, I will extract the ancient demon beast's bloodline for you!"

Zhao Wen reined in his aura, appearing like an ordinary old man. He stood not far from the Chi Yang Demon Monkey, his brows slightly furrowed, then looked towards the demon beast's lair.

"Quickly extract the ancient demon beast's bloodline!"

The young master in purple said excitedly, "If I use the ancient demon beast's bloodline to refine my body, my strength will surely soar. What good are my elder brothers' talents? I will still crush them!"

"Congratulations again, my lord. The Chi Yang Demon Monkey chose to return to its lair even when it could have resisted, indicating that there must be a heavenly treasure in the lair. After consuming it, it could heal its injuries. According to my knowledge, there is only one symbiotic creature on the continent that requires the Chi Yang Demon Monkey to grow. I believe there will be a mature Chi Yang Fruit in the lair!" Zhao Wen raised his head, his eyes gleaming with joy.

"What? The legendary Chi Yang Fruit?"

"Is it the Chi Yang Fruit that can enhance divine power, the one everyone dreams of consuming?"

"Is it the Chi Yang Fruit that can increase strength by three thousand pounds? How is that possible? How did the Chi Yang Demon Monkey find the long-extinct Chi Yang Demon Vine?"

...

Zhao Wen's words immediately caused a huge reaction.

Cheng Shaowen, the young master in purple, was of noble status and had exceptional knowledge. Despite this, he could not hide his surprise and excitement. "Uncle Wen, are you sure there is a mature Chi Yang Fruit in the lair?"

The effects of the Chi Yang Fruit were well-known to those from major sects, and they understood its value.

Zhao Wen nodded, "This trip into the mountains is a double blessing for you, my lord. The ancient demon beast's bloodline will strengthen your body's defense, and consuming the Chi Yang Fruit will compensate for your physical deficiencies, greatly enhancing your divine power and combat strength. Congratulations, my lord!"

Every word outside was heard by Lin Fei, who had a strange expression on his face.

"Damn, am I getting lucky again?"

Lin Fei never imagined that the red fruit would have such a miraculous effect, almost thinking he had heard wrong.

Innate divine power is a kind of innate talent.

One of the high-ranking experts from the Divine Martial Sect possessed this, giving them an advantage in martial arts cultivation. Lin Fei had always envied them.

"According to what they said, one Chi Yang Fruit can increase my physical strength by three thousand pounds. If I consume three, won't my strength greatly increase? If that's true, I'll be over the moon."

Unbelievable, unimaginable!

After a brief moment of excitement, Lin Fei's expression turned serious again. The situation was extremely unfavorable for him.

"I originally planned to leave when the opportunity arose, but now it seems difficult. My greatest advantage is being in the dark while they are in the open. They don't know I have the Chi Yang Fruit. If they find out, I'm dead for sure. So, I only have one chance to leave here."

A black badge appeared in Lin Fei's palm, the Newcomer Badge, which, when activated, increased his speed by one.

"Light as the wind, combined with the Newcomer Badge, no one except the Eighth Heaven martial arts expert will pose a threat to me. I should be able to escape!"

Lin Fei was confident in his Sixth Heaven martial arts strength. With his miraculous sword technique, he could barely match a Seventh Heaven expert. Facing an Eighth Heaven expert, with their protective Gang Qi and sword Gang Qi, he had no chance of winning.

"Refine! Refine!!"

The Chi Yang Demon Monkey, which had been killed with one strike, now floated in the air, engulfed by greenish-blue flames. Its three-zhang body continuously shrank.

Zhao Wen was refining the Chi Yang Demon Monkey to obtain a trace of the ancient demon beast's bloodline from its Eighth Rank body. Even a trace was enough to make countless people covet.

Three zhang in size!

Two zhang in size!!

...

The Chi Yang Demon Monkey's flesh and blood were continuously burned away, reducing its massive body to the size of a fist.

Refining an Eighth Rank demon beast required at least an Eighth Heaven martial arts expert. Even so, Zhao Wen's wrinkled face showed signs of paleness, indicating significant energy consumption.

"Done!"

Half an hour later.

The Eighth Rank Chi Yang Demon Monkey had been reduced to a thumb-sized golden blood mass, floating in the air, dazzling and brilliant. Within the golden blood mass, a vague shadow of the Chi Yang Demon Monkey could be seen, exuding a dominant, ferocious, and ancient aura that spread from the blood sphere.

"Truly worthy of containing a trace of ancient demon beast blood!"

Cheng Shaowen couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes filled with greed. The ancient demon beast's blood would belong to him. He knew that this blood mass contained the essence of the Chi Yang Demon Monkey, priceless.

"Wind rises!"

Just as everyone was expressing admiration and shock, an unexpected event occurred.

A gentle breeze came from the forest, passing by the nearest white-robed disciples without any reaction.

"Good stuff, I'll take it!"

With a mocking voice, a pale hand appeared from the air, calmly and confidently grabbing the golden blood mass right before everyone's eyes, then floating away. In a few breaths, it appeared fifteen zhang away, moving at an incredible speed, leaving no time to react.

They never imagined that someone would dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

"Bad, stop him!"

"Stop him, he's taken the treasure!"

"Damn, kill him, don't let him escape!"

Everyone was startled, never expecting someone to dare steal from the Blade God Sect.

The Blade God Sect, one of the three major sects of the Unfallen Dynasty, had never had anything stolen from them, a slap in the face, stinging and painful.

Cheng Shaowen's handsome face had turned black with anger. The thing he had in his hands was taken right before his eyes, driving him to the brink of madness.

The white-robed disciples were the first to react, without a word, three sword beams slashed through the air, forming a blockade to block the path, trying to stop the arrogant black-robed figure.

"Since you've come, why rush to leave? Why not stay?"

Cheng Shaowen's face was dark, but he remained calm, a testament to his good upbringing. However, his eyes seemed to want to devour the intruder.
