Ye Qin was considering whether to explore the deepest part of Lujiabao when a faint yellow shadow silently appeared a few feet away from him.

"Brother Qin, have you found a spiritual object over there?" the yellow shadow asked in a low voice. "The two forbidden places I explored before were not too strictly guarded, one was an ore warehouse, which stored a lot of ore. One is the 1st storage room, which stores some discarded artifacts. Other than that, nothing special was found. Brother Shi, what's the situation on your side?" Ye Qin glanced at the yellow shadow and said flatly. The yellow shadow was Shi Hanyang, and they went separately to search the few remaining forbidden places in Lujiabao. They each searched two places, and now they met again here.

"I didn't find anything over there. Ye Qin nodded slightly, not doubting Shi Hanyang's words. If Shi Hanyang really found the spirit fruit, then the first thing to do was to leave Lujiabao instead of continuing to stay here.

"There is only this last forbidden place left in Lujiabao that has not been investigated. But there are two foundation-building monks here, one more than in other places. If you want to bypass their surveillance and enter the forbidden place, I'm afraid it's hard to do. If you alarm the other monks in the fort, it will be in vain. ”

Ye Qin cautiously looked at the deepest part of Lujiabao, a little worried. It would have been easier to get in if there was only one Foundation Monk guarding him, but with two of them, he wouldn't be able to do it.

"I'll take care of these two guards, Brother Qin will help me keep an eye on the surroundings, and if anyone else is close here, try to attract them as much as possible. Shi Hanyang looked at the deepest part of Lujiabao with a cold gaze. He had been eyeing this place for a long time, this was the retreat place of the Lu family ancestor, and he didn't dare to approach it as easily as Ye Qin. He waited in Lujiabao for more than a month, and finally waited for the ancestor of the Lu family to go out. He would not have missed such a good opportunity.

In the deepest part of Lujiabao, a middle-aged fourth-layer foundation cultivator and a young sixth-layer monk were guarding outside, laughing and talking, and drinking wine. This is the retreat place of the ancestor of the Lu family, and it belongs to one of the forbidden places of the Lu family, but they all know that the secret room of the ancestor retreat is actually empty, and there are no valuable items in it. Valuable items are carried with the ancestor.

Therefore, the only reason they were sent by Lu Yuanhong to guard this place was to prevent idle people from entering the secret room of the ancestor's retreat by mistake, so as not to provoke the ancestor's anger. Tonight, the second young master of the Lu family got married, and the two monks in charge of their duties also made an exception and allowed to drink a little wine.

Suddenly, they saw a yellow-clothed monk carrying a wine gourd, humming a little song, and staggering towards them.

"What person? This is the forbidden place of the Lu family, leave this place immediately!"

The two guards immediately became alert. One of the middle-aged monks asked in a low voice. But before he could finish his sentence, the yellow-clothed monk fell to the ground drunkenly, and said something nonsense, which was very obscene. I tried to get up several times, but I seemed to be a little drunk, and I fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and finally fell asleep on the ground, snoring and snoring.

"A rotten drunkard, what a bad luck. Big brother, what do you think of it?"

The young monk stepped forward and kicked him, but the yellow-clothed monk did not move, and he could only turn back to the middle-aged monk.

The middle-aged monk then walked over and looked at Xiutu's face, waved his sleeves to wipe away the drunken wine, frowned, and said, "It seems that it should be a guest who has drunk too much at the wedding banquet, carry him away, and throw him into the empty mansion casually!"

The young monk nodded, lifted the fat man in the yellow shirt, and threw him farther away.

However, the drunken yellow-clothed cultivator has changed. A pinkish mist suddenly erupted from beneath the yellow-clad monk, spraying on the two guards.

The two of them were taken aback, but the mist was surprisingly strange, and it penetrated into their bodies in a very short time, and before they could even shout an exclamation, they went straight to the ground, and the skin on their bodies was glowing with a bewitching red.

The yellow-shirted monk jumped to his feet, and his slightly chubby face no longer showed any drunkenness, but a little smugness. With his cultivation, it was easy to defeat the two Foundation Cultivators, but it was not easy to restrain the two Foundation Monks at once.

Ye Qin was secretly frightened when he saw Shi Hanyang so neatly knocking the two foundation building period guards to the ground. He floated out of the darkness and praised, "Brother Shi is really a good means. I don't know what kind of poison this is, it can paralyze two mid-level monks in the foundation building stage at once?"

"This is the red mist, the paralyzing poison refined by the stinky liquid of the sixth-order multi-tailed fox demon, which is extremely rare in the immortal cultivation world. It took me a lot of money to collect such a small gourd, but it's a pity that it's all used on the two of them today. Let's go into this secret room. Monk Zhuji was caught in the red mist and could only stay paralyzed for a few hours, and we only had two or three hours to search this secret room. ”

Shi Hanyang smiled lightly, carried the two guards of the Lu family who had been completely paralyzed, and went straight into the secret room where the ancestor of the Lu family was retreating, threw the guards in a corner, did not kill them, and then looked at the secret room.

Ye Qin suddenly followed in.

He remembered something. Six years ago, when I was still a Qi cultivator, in the trial in Wankuling, Senior Sister Yan Xuan, who led the team, was also poisoned by such symptoms, and it took three days to recover. Later, he obtained a red gourd magic weapon from the hands of a disciple of Da Luomen, and he still stays in it today. It's just that he didn't expect that this thing would also have such a strong paralyzing effect on the foundation building monk, which should not be underestimated.

He followed Shi Hanyang into a secret room in the deepest part of Lujiabao.

The chamber was ten feet in size, made of sturdy stone slabs one foot wide, and was quite spacious, but empty, with nothing but a straw mat and an incense burner in the middle. This retreat place of the ancestors of the Lu family is surprisingly simple.

Ye Qin looked at the secret room a little, and he had to admit that he couldn't find anything strange in this secret room, let alone the Spirit Fruit Tree.

Still, he didn't believe there was really anything here.

If there really was a spirit fruit tree in Lujiabao, this ancestor's retreat place was the most suspicious.

Ye Qin instead observed Shi Hanyang, what Shi Hanyang learned was very complicated, magic techniques, mechanisms, formations, etc., all inclusive. If you want to find something, Shi Hanyang is better than him.

Sure enough, Shi Hanyang glanced at the secret room, carefully inspected every place, and began to tinker in the secret room.

In less than half an hour, suddenly, Shi Hanyang pressed several stone slabs in the secret room, and the stone wall on the inner side of the secret room slowly opened open, revealing a cave.

It was a natural cave, somewhat narrow enough for two or three people, with a cold, damp smell.

"Although the cultivation of the ancestor of the Lu family is high, the technique of this mechanism is not very clever! If my expectation is correct, the biggest secret of the Lu family fort is in this stone cave. Brother Qin, Zu Gen will come with me to go in and have a look. Shi Hanyang smiled and walked towards the stone cave.

Ye Qin smiled and followed.

But his heart became vigilant, and at the last moment, the biggest danger came from this smiling face of the Sect Master. The monk who came out of the chaos of the dragons and snakes turned his face faster than he could turn the pages of a book. When he found the spirit fruit, he didn't believe that this Sect Master Shi, who always talked about "Brother Qin" when he had nothing to do, would show the slightest mercy to his subordinates.

The two walked down the stone cave to a depth of about hundreds of zhang, and finally came to a very clean underground stone cave.

There was no way to go here, only a cold pool flowing out of the stone cracks, and the turquoise pool water made Ye Qin feel a biting chill from afar. But there was not the slightest sign of frost. It's water-cooled and weird.

Ye Qin quickly put all his attention on an old Jito tree.

Next to the cold cold pool, there is a lonely old tree that is more than a foot tall and somewhat dry, and this tree is only more than thousands of years old. This tree bears three green spirit fruits.

However, the old tree is protected by a pale blue curtain of water. If it was expected, this should be the formation that the ancestor of the Lu family used to protect the spirit fruit tree.

"Brother Shi, the spiritual object that the Holy Emperor is referring to should be the spiritual fruit on this old tree, right?"

Ye Qin stared at the spirit fruit tree with a faint smile, but stood far away, away from the old tree and Shi Hanyang.

He didn't act rashly, first, he was not proficient in the formation, and he couldn't unlock the formation ban on the old tree, once he touched the forbidden formation, it was likely to alarm the Lu family ancestor and the disciples of the Lu family, it would not be good. Second, he didn't want to cause Shi Hanyang's misunderstanding, thinking that he wanted to compete for this spirit fruit.

"Brother Qin, there are only three spirit fruits, it doesn't seem to be enough!" Shi Hanyang turned his head and turned his gaze to Ye Qin with a smile.

"These three spirit fruits were found by Brother Shi, so naturally they should belong to Brother Shi. Ye Qinqian said.

Shi Hanyang was really a little strange this time, he also thought that Ye Qin also wanted to get this spirit fruit, and the two would inevitably have a vicious fight. Unexpectedly, Ye Qin actually humbly pushed him at this juncture, but he was not easy to do. He was a little skeptical that Ye Qin was trying to engage in some conspiracy, but would the conspiracy tricks be useful in front of him?

"You don't want the spirit fruit, so what do you want?" "I just want to get a branch of this old tree, and try to plant it when I go back." ”

"You want the branches of this old tree, and the branches will grow into trees, and it will take you a thousand years. After the Wei tree, it will take more than four or five hundred years to bear fruit, otherwise I am afraid it will not bear fruit. When the spirit fruit is obtained, it will be 1,500 years later. ”

"It doesn't matter. Although I can't use it, my great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren 1,500 years from now will use this water spirit fruit tree sooner or later. ”

"Then you might as well just take the whole tree away, and save at least a thousand years of work. Shi Hanyang smiled disapprerovingly.

"This can't be done, take away a branch from the tree, Lu Laozu will only be angry, and he will not keep chasing after him. But taking away this old tree that is related to the luck of the Lu family, Lu Laozu is only afraid that he will track it down to the end in his lifetime, and he must kill me. I want to remove the entire old tree, but I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the anger of Old Ancestor Lu. Ye Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was not greedy enough to ignore any danger. For him, getting a branch was not much different from getting the entire Spirit Fruit Tree, so why should he remove the entire tree to stimulate Na Lu Old Ancestor.

"Haha, Brother Qin is quite wise. However, Brother Qin seems to recognize the wonderful use of this tree?"

"Yes, there is a detailed record of this in the Qingdanmen's treasure spirit tree classics, this tree is called 'Five Spirit Fruit Tree 7, which belongs to the eighth-order spirit tree, and has five attributes, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. And the one in front of him is obviously the water spirit fruit tree among the five spirit fruit trees.

The Water Spirit Fruit Tree must grow in the land of water spirits, and it cannot grow in places that lack abundant water spirits. This Lujiabao is in the upper reaches of the Bian River, the largest river in the Southern Liang region, and this crypt is the place where the water aura is most abundant. It's no surprise that this tree grows here.

The prosperity of Lujiabao is all in this old tree.

The water spirit fruit tree, which bears three fruits at a time, usually ripens once in five hundred years, and turns into the water spirit qi when it lands. These three fruits are not yet ripe, and the medicinal power is not enough, and I am afraid that it will take nearly a hundred years to ripen. However, because the Water Spirit Fruit belongs to water, only a foundation building monk with the Water Spirit Root can have the effect of breaking through the bottleneck of the Golden Pill. Even if the other spiritual root monks took it, it had no effect. ”

"It turns out that Brother Qin is a disciple from the Qingdan Sect, which is not surprising. This sect leader can't wait for a hundred years, and these three green fruits are used as a ripe fruit, and the effect is almost the same. While the two were chatting, Shi Hanyang had already cautiously come to the formation around the Spirit Fruit Tree, and was quickly breaking the forbidden formation. It's dangerous, but it's not a place to stay for long.

In an hour, this blue formation was cracked. It's funny to say, the ancestor of the Lu family is not proficient in formations, and he is unwilling to use the hands of dummies, so he only made a small water-attribute guard formation. However, Shi Hanyang was extremely proficient in the formation, he could even easily break into the underground imperial tomb, and a small guard formation seemed too simple for him.

With the disappearance of the blue water curtain, the three late-ripe cyan spirit fruits were also included in Shi Hanyang's palm.

Shi Hanyang was full of joy at this time, and after a lot of hard work, he finally found the spirit fruit that the Holy Emperor said. The most important thing is that he happens to have a water spirit root in his spirit root attribute, although the potential is very low, but it is also there. Relying on this spiritual fruit, he has a chance to marry Dan.

Ye Qin waited for Shi Hanyang to collect the spirit fruit, and then he walked towards the spirit fruit tree, wanting to cut off a branch from the old tree. At this moment, he suddenly had a flutter in his heart, and glanced at the entrance of the stone cave vigilantly, and with a slight step, he hid under a rock in the cave.

Shi Hanyang's movements were no slower than his, and in the blink of an eye, he had shrunk under a shadow near the cold pool, staring coldly at the entrance of the cave. He passed a secret message to Ye Qin and cooperated with the action. Now that the spirit fruit is in hand, if you encounter an opponent, even if you kill the killer, you will not hesitate to do it.

There was a slight movement outside the cave, and someone was coming in.
