Chapter 350: Chapter 310 The Hard Days of the Imperial Clan_1
Rare plants?
“What rare plants?”
Lin Jiu Zheng and Wu Dade were both curious.
Big Black Dog raised a paw, pointing ahead and said,
“We must be getting close to the Kirin Clan’s valley.”
“This area should be the Kirin Clan’s Kirin Tree Forest.”
Wu Dade and Lin Jiu Zheng were even more puzzled, asking, “Kirin Tree Forest?”
Big Black Dog explained,
“A sacred orchard of the Kirin Clan, the Kirin Fruit is quite famous… However, these on the outskirts are mostly just ordinary Kirin Trees with a bit of Spiritual Energy, the real Kirin God Trees are in the Kirin Valley.”
They moved forward, entering the Kirin Tree Forest, and not far away, a gigantic old tree stood tall.
This old tree was much taller than the surrounding trees.
At the top of the tree, there were even six dark red fruits hanging!
These fruits were the size of peaches but were covered in a layer of peculiar fruit patterns, resembling a unique beast!
“Is this the Kirin Fruit?”
Wu Dade’s eyes shone with excitement as he said,
“Let’s go, let’s take a closer look!”
They immediately approached.
But in front of the old tree, suddenly, a beastly roar pierced the air, and a ghost beast resembling a large dog burst forth, pouncing towards them!
“A Ghost?”
Lin Jiu Zheng was completely surprised as he immediately stepped forward, shooting out a talisman!
The powerful talisman emitted secret forces of the script, instantly controlling the Ghost.
“This Ghost is very powerful, I shall take its Ghost force for cultivation!”
Lin Jiu Zheng acted immediately, and within moments, the beast lay on the ground, its eyes filled with helplessness and resentment!
“This ought to be a Sacred Beast that once guarded the Kirin Fruit for the Kirin Clan, now turned into a Ghost…”
Big Black Dog spoke up, saying,
“It seems that the rumours about the Ghost Kirin, the guardian of the Kirin God Tree, might be true?”
“The spiritual trees around here have grown nourished by the Kirin God Tree, and although the spiritual trees have withered, they haven’t been tainted by the energy of death; the Spirit Fruit is still intact, which suggests that the Kirin God Tree is still alive?”
Its dog eyes gleamed!
Meanwhile, Wu Dade had already gone up and plucked the six fruits from the tree.
“Come on, one for each, let’s give them a taste!”
Wu Dade handed out one fruit to each person, giving one to Big Black Dog as well.
Ji Qingke and the other two were shocked as they received the Kirin Fruit.
“This is the Kirin Fruit…”
Ji Qingke murmured.
“If this were outside, it would definitely cause a scramble!”
Ji Qingyue had a complex look on her face!
And Ji Changming hastily said,
“Young Master Wu, Young Master Lin, this Kirin Fruit is too precious, we can’t accept it!”
The opportunity was too valuable for him to dare accept it!
But Wu Dade just said,
“Isn’t it just a fruit?”
“There’s more ahead, everyone try it, don’t be afraid, it’s nothing special!”
Nothing special?
Ji Changming was internally conflicted.
Wu Dade and the others, however, started eating directly.
Having taken just one bite, Wu Dade was already expressing disdain, saying,
“It’s not sweet enough, too inferior!”
Lin Jiu Zheng also nodded, commenting,
“The skin’s too thick, there’s not enough juice… It’s boring!”
The two of them straightforwardly threw the fruits onto the ground!
Even Big Black Dog had just taken a bite before spitting it out, remarking,
“It’s far too inferior, the taste is really bad!”
“Except for the fruit from the Kirin God Tree, it can’t be eaten!”
Seeing this scene, the three from the Ji Family were stunned.
This…
This is the Kirin Fruit!
Even if it’s not from the Kirin God Tree, it’s still a top-notch Holy Medicine!
In the outside world, the mighty would fight over it until their heads broke.
But now, even the dog disdains it??
Ji Qingyue and the others, who had just picked up the Kirin Fruits and were ready to eat and refine them, silently put them back into their pockets.
They couldn’t eat the fruits anymore… If the dog didn’t want it, their self-respect wouldn’t allow them to eat it!
“Let’s go, keep moving forward!”
Lin Jiu Zheng took the talisman from the Ghost beast, ready to leave.
“Junior Brother, are we not going to kill this Ghost beast?”
Wu Dade asked.
Lin Jiu Zheng chuckled and replied,
“I’ve already neutralized most of the Ghost beast’s force; it cannot do evil anymore… This amusing thing, let’s leave some fun for Master Huang Bai to find!”
They immediately continued moving forward.
Before long, they discovered another gigantic ancient tree.
This time there were only five fruits on the tree.
Lin Jiu Zheng and Wu Dade, adopting a trial attitude, each tried another one.
But again, they only took one bite!
“The same as before, both astringent and unpleasant to eat!”
Wu Dade showed distaste.
“A bit better than the last one, but still inedible…”
Lin Jiu Zheng also shook his head.
The two of them threw the fruits away again!
The three from the Ji Family were even more speechless.
The fruit from this tree was much better than the previous one, not just a little!
Almost reaching the level of ‘Zhou’ grade Holy Medicine, yet, to them, it was inedible?
Looking at the fruit in their hands, Ji Qingyue and the others suddenly felt their mindset was collapsing.
What they considered a precious Holy Fruit was being treated like a common cabbage by others!
Even, the dog didn’t want it!
They continued to advance.
Soon, they had found a total of seven ancient trees!
Some trees had many fruits, some had few, but the deeper they went, the better quality they found.
On the way, Ji Qingke, Ji Qingyue, and the third person also got quite a few.
At the same time, seeing Lin Jiu Zheng and Wu Dade taste one and discard the next…
Seeing those Holy Fruits, bitten once and then thrown on the ground, Ji Qingyue and the others fell deep into silence!
“So the Kirin Clan relies on these to get by? This Imperial Clan… is quite pitiful!”
After finishing a bite and discarding a fruit from the seventh tree, Wu Dade couldn’t help but express sympathy!
“Yes, the Imperial Clan… too destitute!”
Lin Jiu Zheng also couldn’t resist making a sarcastic comment!
Hearing this, Ji Changming and the others felt a surge of blood pressure.
Almost fainted from shock.
This was the Holy Fruit of the Kylin Clan, and if brought to the outside world, it would cause a sensation. Moreover, owning such a vast orchard with seven Holy Fruit trees all bearing fruit was simply defying the heavens.
And yet, in their eyes, the Imperial Clan’s days were a bit bitter?
Too impoverished??
“Wuu, I feel… I’m a slum girl!”
Ji Qingke burst into tears!
Ji Qingyue too felt a complex mix of emotions,
“This is inhuman!”
Ji Changming, on the other hand, had a bitter smile, while Wu Dade and Lin Jiu Zheng had such capital to bear it…
In their village, Holy Medicine was cultivated like food crops…
Thinking this, he suddenly felt…
The Ji Family is so poor!!!
“We’ve reached Kirin Valley.”
At this moment, Big Black Dog suddenly raised a paw, pointing ahead!
Ahead, a deathly valley appeared!
Within, all kinds of wails and screams seemed to pervade, as if the deaths and slaughters of a million years were still unfolding!
…
At this moment.
Behind them.
“Everyone hold on!”
“We are almost there!”
Daoist Huang Bai was sweating buckets!
He was exerting all his strength to maintain the Righteous Qi Formation.
And behind him, warriors from various tribes were all somewhat panting, finding it extremely difficult.
“Look… there’s a forest ahead!”
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed ahead!
Everyone looked!
“The forest ahead… could it be the Kirin Forest!?”
“Kirin Forest… that’s the Holy Fruit orchard of the Kylin Clan, a great opportunity, a great opportunity indeed!”
“If there are one or two remaining Holy Fruits, that itself would be a fortune defying the heavens!”
In an instant, everyone got excited.
Despite their exhaustion just moments ago, they now felt it was all worth it.
Tian Zhihua of the Celestial Tribe’s eyes brightened!
“Move forward, march!”
They continued onward.
Soon, they arrived at a huge, old tree.
“Eh, something’s not right. This tree clearly still has a hint of life, there should be Holy Fruits, where are they?”
Someone spoke.
“Roar!”
Just then, a ghost beast suddenly roared out!
“Not good! The guardian holy beast of the Kylin Clan? A ghost beast transformed from such a holy beast is very difficult to handle!”
Huang Bai was taken aback, abruptly turned his head to look at Gou Chengjing beside Tian Zhihua, and said,
“Please, senior of the Heavenly Dog Clan, lend your hand in repression with me!”
This ghost beast, having become the guardian holy beast of the Kylin Clan, couldn’t be suppressed by the ordinary methods of Ti?nsh? Dào!
He had no confidence at all!
Therefore, the help of a nemesis like the Heavenly Dog Clan was needed!
Hearing this, Gou Chengjing nodded and stepped forward.
With Gou Chengjing’s bloodline powers fully unleashed, instantly the black deathly aura around them was pushed back somewhat!
And Huang Bai also immediately executed his daoist techniques, sweating profusely and almost on the verge of collapse!
But finally, the ghost beast was subdued!
“Impressive, Master Huang!”
“Worthy of being a great master of Ti?nsh? Dào, even a ghost beast can be subdued!”
“The Celestial Tribe came well prepared. With the Heavenly Master and the warriors of the Royal Blood Heavenly Dog Clan, all Yin Ghosts are easily dispelled!”
Everyone praised!
And the sweat-drenched Huang Bai also laughed heartily, saying,
“Such a ghost beast is not worth mentioning!”
Gou Chengjing nodded his head with a hint of pride on his face, feeling that the bloodline of the Royal Blood Heavenly Dog Clan was indeed invincible!
They immediately walked to the base of the tree, but when everyone looked up, they saw no fruits on the tree!
“What’s going on… this tree is clearly untainted by the deathly aura…”
“There should be Holy Fruits remaining…”
Everyone was puzzled!
“Hmm? What’s this on the ground?!”
At that moment, the sharp-eyed Ying Xiaoxiao, the Eagle King, suddenly spotted something on the ground.
She bent down and picked up a fruit!
“Is this a Holy Fruit…?”
“I get it now, the Holy Fruits have ripened, which is why they’ve fallen to the ground!”
“Divine object, divine object indeed!”
Everyone was overjoyed, and looks of envy filled their eyes as they turned towards Ying Xiaoxiao!
But Ying Xiaoxiao was somewhat frowning, because there clearly was a bite taken out of her fruit!
Eaten by someone??
Impossible, right??!
“I’ve found one too!”
“There’s one here as well!”
At that moment, members of the Tian Sha Clan and the warriors of Ren Jin Hua Hai suddenly spoke up excitedly as they found two more on the ground!
“All treasures shall first be chosen by our tribe!”
At this moment, Tian Zhihua suddenly said icily,
“The one Ying Xiaoxiao found can be gifted to her, but hand over the other two!”
Immediately, the faces of those who found the other two fruits darkened, yet they handed them over.
Upon receiving the fruits, Tian Zhihua’s expression turned cold as he accused,
“You dare eat them secretly?”
“Seize them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the warriors of the Celestial Tribe immediately sprang into action!
“Ah!”
Two shrill screams later, the strong warriors from Ren Jin Hua Hai and the Heavenly Fiend Abyss were laid low on the ground, crippled!
“No… we didn’t steal any bites…”
“Young Master Tian, it really wasn’t us…”
They pleaded desperately!
At this moment, Ying Xiaoxiao’s expression changed as well, and she approached saying,
“Young Master Tian… it might really not be their fault, my fruit also looks like it was bitten…”
Tian Zhihua’s brows furrowed even deeper, holding the two fruits with suspicion.
“Eh?”
At that moment, Ying Xiaoxiao suddenly pointed at one of the fruits in Tian Zhihua’s hands and said,
“This fruit… it looks like a dog bite, doesn’t it?”
