Chapter 1996

Earth veins cannot be moved. Once moved, their roots will be damaged and they will not be able to exist for a long time. So if you want good earth veins, you can only obtain them by seizing territory.

However, there are always exceptions to everything.

Some earth veins have existed underground for a long time. Due to some special reasons, their energy has condensed and finally converged into a special existence, that is, the earth vein bead！

One earth vein bead is equivalent to one earth vein, and it contains all the energy that an earth vein should have.

The earth vein bead is also a very rare thing.

Yang Kai has been in his hometown star field for so many years and he has only seen one in the Purple Star Treasury. In the end, he put it under the medicine garden in the Little Mysterious Realm to maintain the abundance of spiritual energy in the medicine garden and cultivate spiritual herbs and wonderful medicines.

But at this moment, the Flying and Escaping Bat has actually collected as many as four from underground.

Yang Kai was overjoyed and quickly took them over and carefully examined them in his hands.

Soon, he discovered that these four earth vein beads were of a higher grade than the one he had taken from the Purple Star Treasury back then. Whether it was the total amount of energy stored inside or the degree of purity, they were far beyond what the one in Purple Star could compare.

If the earth vein bead obtained from the Purple Star Treasury was of low grade, then these four in his hands were at least of medium grade, and even the largest one should be of high grade！

The richness of the spiritual energy it exudes makes Yang Kai is breathtaking.

There are actually so many earth vein beads born under the canyon, which makes Yang Kai both surprised and happy.

However, after careful consideration, Yang Kai feels that this is taken for granted.

If not for these Earth Vein Beads, how could the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth here be so rich？ Although Heavy Earth is precious, it couldn’t form such rich spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. Only Earth Vein Beads can do that.

However, the existence of Heavy Earth is probably also the root cause of the formation of Earth Vein Beads.

That natural gravitational field is extremely terrifying. The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth that wanders nearby naturally sinks to the bottom of the valley, gathers, condenses, and is suppressed underground. Over the years, Earth Vein Beads are produced.

The Five-Colored Pagoda has existed for an extremely long time, and the existence time of this ancient battlefield can’t be verified at all. Over thousands and thousands of years, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth attracted by the gravitational field has formed these several Earth Vein Beads. This explanation is quite reasonable.

Yang Kai only thought about it slightly in his mind and almost guessed the truth of the matter.

Although the value of these several Earth Vein Beads is not as good as that of Heavy Earth, it is definitely not cheap. Even if they are put into a large sect, they are enough to increase the richness of the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth inside by one level.

Yang Kai flipped his wrist and sent them into the bottom of the Medicine Garden in the Small Mysterious Realm.

With the addition of the one that he already had before, five Earth Vein Beads, plus so much Heavy Earth, the Medicine Garden in the Small Mysterious Realm can be said to be the best Medicine Garden in the Star Boundary.

Yang Kai couldn’t wait to go and plant some spiritual herbs and wonderful medicines to see the effect.

Half a day later, Yang Kai sighed and gave up the plan to continue searching.

It seems that all the good things underground have been taken away. Without the heavy earth and earth vein pearls, the environment below the canyon has returned to the same as other places. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is extremely thin and not suitable for staying for a long time.

He then beckoned to the little beast, urged his strength, and flew upwards into the sky.

Without the involvement of the natural gravitational field, he had no difficulty flying up the canyon.

The Flying Bat continued to lead the way in front, looking for the trail of Mo Xiaoqi and Yang Kai followed behind unhurriedly.

……

Three days later, Yang Kai passed by a small hill and suddenly looked down as if feeling something, and sneered. He stopped in his tracks and said, “Friend, do you come out by yourself, or do I have to force you out？”

There was no movement below, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

Stubborn！” Yang Kai snorted coldly. He raised his hand, and a golden blood thread shot out, directly hitting a certain position below.

Just then, a blue light flashed below, meeting the golden blood thread.

With a bang, the golden blood thread was bounced back. And below, where there was originally no one, there was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged there, his face pale staring at Yang Kai with resentment and venom in his eyes, and his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see at a glance that the other party was seriously injured, and it was not an ordinary injury. It seemed that he had been injured to the root.

This situation… was completely different from what he had guessed before.

He had thought that this person was hiding here to launch a surprise attack on him. How could he have known that he was hiding here to heal his wounds, but was exposed by his own shot.

For a while, Yang Kai couldn’t help but look a little embarrassed.

However, he was also straightforward. After realizing something was wrong, he quickly clasped his fists and said, “Sorry, there seems to be some misunderstanding. Don’t blame me, friend. You continue to heal your wounds. I’ll leave first.”

“Don’t you come here to take my life, friend？ If you want to do it, do it quickly. Why pretend to be kind like a cat crying over a mouse？”

What made Yang Kai even more unexpected happened. After listening to Yang Kai’s explanation, the middle-aged man did not relax his vigilance, but shouted angrily, as if Yang Kai really had some deep hatred with him.

Yang Kai frowned and said, “Friend has misunderstood me. I don’t even know you. Why would I take your life?”

After all, this matter was caused by his momentary mistake. So although the other party had a bad attitude, Yang Kai didn’t care. As he spoke, he also took out a jade bottle and threw it at the man, saying, “This is a bottle of healing pills. It should be able to relieve your situation a little.”

After speaking, he immediately left.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. At this time, he seemed to realize that Yang Kai didn’t do it on purpose. Otherwise, Yang Kai could have killed him while he was weak. He stretched out his hand and took the jade bottle. He opened the jade bottle and sniffed it for a while. After confirming that it was really a healing pill, the expression on his face suddenly struggled.

Seeing that Yang Kai was about to go far away, this person finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice, “Wait a minute！”

Yang Kai stopped his steps, looked back at him, and sighed, “What else do you want, friend？ Although it was my shot that destroyed your hidden place, you can just change to another place. I also compensated you with a bottle of healing pills. Let’s just forget about this matter. Don’t push your luck！”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man didn’t get angry at all. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, “I don’t want to talk about this.”

“Then what do you want？” Yang Kai seemed a little impatient.

“Do you want the Dao Source Fruit？” The middle-aged man stared at Yang Kai and said slowly.

“What？” Yang Kai’s face became serious. He immediately turned around, flashed a few times, and came to the side of the middle-aged man. His eyes swept over his spatial ring and said in a deep voice, “You just said the Dao Source Fruit？”

“That’s right. You didn’t hear wrong. I really said the Dao Source Fruit just now.” The middle-aged man nodded.

“You got the Dao Source Fruit？” Yang Kai looked at him in surprise.

The middle-aged man nodded again and said with a calm expression, “The Tianwu Holy Land put three Dao Source Fruits into the Five-Colored Pagoda this time, and I, Zhang, was fortunate enough to obtain one of them.”

Before Yang Kai could open his mouth to ask where the Dao Source Fruit was, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang smiled slightly and said, “Friend, you don’t have to have any thoughts. Even if you kill me, you won’t be able to get that Dao Source Fruit. Before healing, I had already hidden it in a safe place.”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but cough lightly and said, “Why would I kill you？”

“That’s hard to say.” The man surnamed Zhang chuckled. “Although friend doesn’t look like a great villain, otherwise you wouldn’t have left freely just now. I’m afraid you would have already had the heart to kill and rob treasures. But… the Dao Source Fruit is extremely precious, especially for people like you and me. I don’t dare to guarantee that in the face of such a treasure, you will still spare my life.”

“What you said makes sense！” Yang Kai nodded, agreeing with his statement.

Ordinary warriors may not actively kill and rob treasures, but whether they can maintain their original hearts in the face of a rare spiritual object like the Dao Source Fruit is really hard to say.

“However… you took the initiative to call me back and told me about the Dao Source Fruit. What do you want to do？” Yang Kai looked at him suspiciously.

“Naturally, I want to give the Dao Source Fruit to friend.” The man surnamed Zhang’s expression became solemn and he said.

“Are you kidding？” Yang Kai looked at him sideways with a disbelieving expression.

The man with the surname Zhang shook his head. “When a man is about to die, his words are good. Why would I joke with you about this？”

Yang Kai’s eyes shrank slightly, and he said lightly, “I don’t think you’re going to die immediately.”

The man with the surname Zhang gave a bitter laugh. “In order to escape for my life before, I have burned 80% of my essence and blood. Even if I can survive, my cultivation will plummet. Moreover, I have also been poisoned, and even my sea of consciousness has been contaminated.”

Yang Kai’s face changed, and he released his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine him, only to confirm that the other party was not telling a lie.

This man with the surname Zhang was actually powerful on the outside but weak on the inside. He was barely holding on to his last bit of strength to maintain his vitality. Perhaps he had taken some kind of elixir before to hold his breath.

With such injuries, even if no one interfered with him, he wouldn’t be able to survive for more than two days.

Yang Kai sighed and said, “If it were just your physical body that was poisoned, I might still be able to help you, but even your spiritual consciousness has been contaminated… there’s nothing I can do.”

“I already have a psychological preparation. Friend, don’t worry about it.” The man with the surname Zhang was quite free and easy. Hearing this, he laughed.

“I don’t know you at all. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. However… you called me back and said you wanted to give me the Dao Source Fruit. There’s no such good thing in the world. So, what do you want？”

“Sure enough, friend is a smart person.” The smile on the face of the man with the surname Zhang converged, and he said, “There’s not much time. I’ll get straight to the point.”

Yang Kai nodded and put on a listening posture.

“The location of the Dao Source Fruit, I can give it to you. After you obtain the Dao Source Fruit, no matter when you seek someone to refine it into a pill, you must give one to the descendants of my Zhang family！” The man with the surname Zhang said, “I am the head of the Zhang family in Fenglin City, Zhang Gaoxuan. Although the Zhang family is not a big family in Fenglin City, it has at least multiplied here for hundreds of years. I, Zhang Gaoxuan, are also known by many people in Fenglin City. After you go out, you can slightly inquire and then you will know the location of my Zhang family. After you take away that one Dao Source Fruit, if it is refined into a pill and fails, there is naturally nothing to say. If it is successful, there will be at least three Dao Source Pills. You just need to hand one over to the descendants of my Zhang family, and the rest will all belong to you.”
