"This..." Yuexi was extremely embarrassed.
"It is said that the Northern Ice Region was the Empress's younger brother named Yinchuan. He traveled abroad in his early years and cultivated a powerful strength of the late Jindan period. Three hundred years ago, he hid in the Liangjie Mountain and did not go out, in order to be the first to pick the Samsara Fruit."
"This matter has spread, and the cultivators in the three regions know about it." Chen Lan said lightly while shaking his fan.
Lin Yi looked thoughtful when she heard this. It turned out that the strong man that the empress was talking about was one of her younger brothers, and it was most likely instructed by the emperor and empress that he came here to seize the fruit of reincarnation, in order to trace his bloodline and cultivate it into a divine golden elixir. By then, maybe he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop and prolong his lifespan.
“No wonder the Emperor and Empress even gave up the royal family. It turns out they were waiting for this.” Lin Yi suddenly understood. Fortunately, he followed them to Liangjie Mountain. Otherwise, by the time the Emperor and Empress cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, it would be impossible for him to fight against them.
"Ahem! So that's how it is." Yuexi's face was suddenly filled with embarrassment. He thought it was a secret, but he hadn't revealed a single word along the way. He treated it like a treasure, but ended up having all the nearby monks know about it.
This wouldn't have been a big deal, but when she saw Lin Yi's half-smile on his face, she became furious.
However, even if she was discovered, she would have no choice but to compete with them. Yuexi was not afraid. She was confident that her own cultivation was enough to overwhelm the others.
"Since we know about the Fruit of Samsara, do we still have the energy to chat here?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
Chen Lan snorted and said, "Of course, the elixir is not ready yet, and it will take a few more days. And Yinchuan is guarding here. According to him, if anyone dares to move, the reincarnation fruit will be destroyed. We have no choice but to wander around."
Hearing this, several people chatted and laughed and continued on their way.
When they arrived at a valley, they found that the strong men below had already gathered there.
Everyone was not surprised to see Yuexi, but were quite shocked by the appearance of Lin Yi and Ling'er. With their strength, they could actually come here. But they immediately realized that it was Yuexi who brought them.
Therefore, they looked up to Yuexi even more. Along the way, countless True Lords had died at the hands of ferocious beasts, but Yuexi was able to come to the valley with her two burdens, which showed how strong she was.
Everyone was silent and respected Yuexi even more.
Lin Yi looked up and saw a seven-foot-tall old vine like a dragon growing on a rock about ten meters high. It had mottled green leaves and hung on the cliff like a dead vine.
At the end of the vine, a golden fruit hangs down, but if you look closely, you will find that there is still some green on other parts of the fruit, which means it is probably not fully ripe.
At this time, there was a five-meter-tall monk with muscles all over his body that looked like they were molten iron and a violent aura. He wanted to jump up to pick the fruit, but just as his hand was about to touch it, the old vine immediately burst into divine light and hit the monk's body like a snake. The monk was immediately beaten to a pulp, with his skin and flesh torn apart, revealing his white bones.
Everyone's heart trembled. This man was a famous cultivator who was good at his physique. His physical strength was comparable to that of a beast in the middle stage of the Golden Core. However, even so, he could not withstand the power of Old Vine's whip.
Seeing this, although other people had the same intention, they did not dare to try it.
"Haha, idiot, it's useless. Before the Samsara Fruit is ripe, the Samsara Vine will not allow anyone to approach it." At this time, a man's voice came.
