The Earth won't allow someone as awesome as me to exist!

Chapter 540 Fairy Fruit!

"Dad, what exactly happened?"

After descending the mountain, Xie Lingyao still didn't know what was wrong with her body, or why she had never known about it since she was a child.

My father must be hiding something from me!

Xie Shaohui sighed softly and then recounted the events of that year in detail.

"Lingyao, it's not that I want to hide it from you, I just want you to be happy."

Xie Lingyao took a few steps back, somewhat dazed.

So, I really do not have long to live.

"Can he really save me?" Xie Lingyao seemed a little skeptical.

She used to think Qin Chuan was a lecher, but now that she knows she's about to die, how many people would want to die?

Xie Lingyao, in particular, was in the prime of her youth and naturally wanted to live.

"Daughter, the other party can produce a pot of spiritual tea, and he can overwhelm more than a dozen martial artists with just his aura. His strength is above mine, perhaps..."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Xie Shaohui's eyes: "He really can save you. No matter what, we have to try."

"Alright." Xie Lingyao nodded. Perhaps knowing that she was about to die, it seemed that most of her energy and spirit had been drained away.

Although she didn't really believe Qin Chuan could save her, she seemed to have no other choice now.

only……

Is it really necessary to stay with the other person for a period of time just to survive?

This is Xie Lingyao's biggest dilemma. It's obvious that Qin Chuan's "following" meant having her sleep with him.

There's nothing we can do; she's just so beautiful.

All men in the world are the same. Why should someone offer you a pot of spiritual tea or save you?

Isn't the price to pay just your health?

"Lingyao, I know what you're thinking, but nothing is more important than living," Xie Shaohui patted his daughter's shoulder and comforted her.

Xie Lingyao hummed in agreement: "Dad, I know. Besides, he's quite handsome. At least he's much more pleasing to the eye than that disgusting thing from the Tang family."

The mere mention of the Tang family made Xie Lingyao feel nauseous. But then she thought of Qin Chuan, whose appearance and demeanor perfectly matched her aesthetic standards, making him somewhat more acceptable.

"Dad, shall we go back now?" Xie Lingyao asked.

Xie Shaohui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's wait at the foot of the mountain for a while."

So instead of leaving immediately, they set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountaintop.

Qin Chuan had already begun to scan the entire Sword Mountain with his divine sense. The Sword Mountain was not very large. Although his cultivation level had dropped and the range of his divine sense had shrunk, scanning the Sword Mountain was still not a problem.

Wherever his divine sense passed, he took in every blade of grass and every tree on the entire Sword Mountain.

Soon, Qin Chuan sensed a place with particularly rich spiritual energy, which surprised him.

Formation?

wrong……

This doesn't seem to be a formation; it's a method used to isolate this aura. If it weren't for divine sense, finding this place would be very difficult, mainly because it's been concealed.

A few minutes later.

Qin Chuan had already arrived at this densely populated place. With a grab of his hand, an unknown object flew out—it was a magical artifact.

This magical artifact isn't considered high-grade; it's still somewhat inferior to the top-tier magical artifacts that the dozen or so Divine Realm experts each possessed. The artifact is a bronze jade plate, and this ancient object alone would be quite valuable in the mortal world.

After Qin Chuan removed the magical artifact, its original appearance was revealed: a large tree with extremely rich spiritual energy appeared, which was several times richer than the spiritual energy that Qin Chuan had gathered in the Cloud Top Villa using the Spirit Gathering Array.

"If this spirit tree hadn't been so rich in spiritual energy, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect it so quickly."

A hint of joy appeared on Qin Chuan's face.

Because on this spirit tree there was a fruit the size of an apple, radiating gold all over, which was clearly a celestial fruit!

"I never imagined that there really were immortal fruits on this earth. Immortal fruits bloom once every hundred years and bear fruit once every hundred years. This immortal fruit is just ripe."

Qin Chuan never expected that there would actually be the immortal fruit he wanted on this small Earth, and the spiritual energy of this spirit tree was exceptionally rich, making this place perfect for his seclusion.

To restore one's original essence and break through to the Refining Core realm...

This retreat will take some time.

……

……

Time flies.

A month has passed.

At the foot of Mount Kenzan.

Xie Lingyao was getting impatient: "Dad, why haven't we come down the mountain yet?"

Xie Shaohui was also puzzled. A month had passed and the young man had not come down the mountain. Could something have happened to him on the mountain?

That shouldn't be done.

The opponent's strength is definitely above mine; this level is above Sword Mountain, so there's absolutely no way something could happen to him.

"...Let's go back first."

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Shaohui finally decided to return to the Xie family first. There were still many things to deal with at home, and the Tang family was making things difficult. He couldn't afford to waste any more time here.

However, before returning, he left some of his men behind to inform him of any news.

During this month.

A lot has happened outside as well. Ever since the Tribunal issued the Zodiac Decree, the entire martial arts world has been paying close attention to this matter.

They all wanted to know when the battle between the Tribunal and Qin Xian would begin.

Although many people are not optimistic about Qin Chuan, how can everyone not take such a big battle seriously?

Of course, the tribunal did not do nothing during this month.

First is the Heavenly Sect.

A man wearing a rat mask led a group of martial arts warriors and surrounded the entire Tianzong sect.

The one wearing the rat mask is naturally the Black Rat.

Everyone knows that the Tribunal has military power, and nowadays no country can interfere with the Tribunal's operations.

This is also what makes the tribunal terrifying.

Because the Tribunal is not a tribunal of a particular country, but a world-class tribunal for martial arts.

This is similar to the previous Earth Martial Arts Alliance, a martial arts force composed of multiple countries.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

Martial arts masters use their power to break the law, so naturally the Earth Martial Arts Alliance and the Tribunal are needed; otherwise, many ordinary people would die at the hands of martial artists.

Because secular laws cannot punish these martial arts practitioners.

A billionaire's influence is already considerable, right? Yet, such a billionaire can be easily killed by a powerful martial arts family.

This also indirectly illustrates how terrifying martial arts families are.

The Tianzong sect was surrounded, and this was just one example; there was also the Yunding Villa in Jinling.

"Elder Ye, who exactly are they?"

Shen Wangshu was currently in the Cloud Top Villa. She would come here every now and then, so she was considered a regular visitor.

Ye Nantian knew that Shen Wangshu and Qin Chuan were friends, so he naturally wouldn't stop them. When he saw the three people wearing bull head masks, rabbit masks, and dog head masks, his expression became more solemn than ever before.

"The Tribunal..."

"The Twelve Zodiac Animals!"
