Chapter 1481: Asking For Trouble Again (2)

“Zuo Shangchen, what’s going on?”

Gu Ruoyun was about to answer Dong Fang and the others when she suddenly sensed peculiar fluctuations from the man next to her. She turned towards him and frowned.

Zuo Shangchen pursed his red lips as an excited light flashed across his peach blossom eyes. He did not respond to Gu Ruoyun’s question before his peach pink form flashed then charged up ahead…

Gu Ruoyun did not have any time to think and quickly chased after him.

“What should we do?” Kang Shaojie did not expect the two of them to leave without a word. He was momentarily dazed before he turned to look at the people next to him.

“Let’s go!” Mu Ying thought for a moment before raising his head and said, “Let’s go after them!”

“Alright.”

The rest nodded and chased after the two.

…

A man in peach pink robes descended into the dense foliage, casting a rather striking figure in the fresh green forest.

The man’s eyes were staring at the vermillion-colored fruit in front of him while his gaze was filled with uncharacteristic excitement.

“Zuo Shangchen, what has gotten into you?”

Gu Ruoyun, who had followed closely behind him, stopped next to the man and followed his gaze. When she saw the vermillion-colored fruit on a nearby old tree, her eyes filled with amazement, “A Spirit Phoenix Fruit? I did not expect a place like this to have a Spirit Phoenix Fruit!”

Everyone knows that if someone were to consume the Spirit Phoenix Fruit, they could achieve a breakthrough in the refined state! However, this Spirit Phoenix Fruit was only useful to those in the refined state. A cultivator at the late stage of the refined state would not be able to use it to break through to the ninth transformation!

Besides, even a cultivator at the refined state might not be able to have a breakthrough despite eating the fruit! After all, the Spirit Phoenix Fruit was not the same as a pill so the chances of a successful breakthrough were very small.

“Xiao Yun’er, do you know why the members of the Underworld are here?”

Zuo Shangchen calmly curled his lips. His smile was indolent and charming, “If my guess is right, they’re here for the Moon Soul Herb!”

“The Moon Soul Herb?”

Gu Ruoyun shook and furrowed her brows.

“That’s right. Based on what I do know, the Young Master of the Underworld is also searching for the Moon Soul Herb. The only place in the Dark Earth Realm that contains the Moon Soul Herb is the Heavenly Moon Empire. I want to consume this Spirit Phoenix Fruit. If I am able to successfully have a breakthrough, our chances will increase. Otherwise, when the time comes for us to go up against the members of the Underworld, it’s very likely that we’ll lose.”

He must have the Moon Soul Herb to save Gu Shengxiao!

Even if he had to give everything he has, he will not hesitate!

Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment before she spoke, “Are you sure that you want to take this risk? The Spirit Phoenix Fruit is very powerful. If you are fortunate enough to have a breakthrough, you could avoid disaster but if you fail, the worst-case scenario is for you to explode and die while the best outcome would result in your meridians being severed.”

Generally speaking, this was the difference between the Spirit Phoenix Fruit and pills. The medicinal power in pills was carefully regulated so can guarantee a cultivator’s safety! However, for items like Spirit Phoenix Fruit which contains a large amount of spiritual energy, there was a big possibility that the person who consumes it will explode and die.

Zuo Shangchen laughed bitterly, “Do we have any other choice? We can’t fight the cultivators of the Underworld by only relying on the little beast in your arms! If I can have a breakthrough, at least we have one more sliver of hope. Even if I fail, I won’t regret it.”

His enticing peach blossom eyes stared at Gu Ruoyun as he finished speaking and his gaze filled with determination.
