Jiang Ye couldn't help but smile, flipping his palm to store the Longevity Fruit into his bracelet space.

"Next opportunity land." Jiang Ye looked at the map: "I hope I can still pick up something left behind."

This city ruin had actually been explored long ago.

But the Longevity Fruit was hidden very deep.

If not for Jiang Ye's ability to 'observe the finest details', he would definitely not have discovered its existence.

Soon enough.

Jiang Ye confirmed his next target.

"Set out!" He moved swiftly, flying towards the distance.

In the following days and even weeks, Jiang Ye would spend his time treasure hunting.

...

While Jiang Ye was treasure hunting everywhere.

At White Dragon University, Star Garden No. 10.

Chen Zilu returned to her villa, sitting down a little exhausted, her complexion unusually pale.

The young girl sat there, closing her eyes to meditate for a moment.

When her complexion slightly improved, she finally opened her eyes.

"Breaking through the Fourth Break with original talent must be very challenging." Chen Zilu whispered to herself.

She understood the limits of original talent.

Even with martial bone awakening, it was very difficult to reach above the Third Break, as the maximum limit of talent determined.

Trying to break through the Fourth Break was destined to be extremely difficult.

Chen Zilu looked at her phone, a hint of conflict flashing in her eyes.

Only a few seconds.

The conflict faded away, turning into unshakeable determination.

"I must obtain that treasure." Chen Zilu opened her peach blossom-shaped eyes.

In the next second, she opened her phone and dialed a number.

"Beep..."

The call connected.

A series of light beams converged, forming the image of a stern middle-aged man in a suit.

The middle-aged man's expression was extremely cold, but upon seeing Chen Zilu, the cold expression slightly softened.

"Lu." The middle-aged man said: "You rarely call me, what's the matter?"

Chen Zilu was silent for a moment.

She rarely communicated with this man.

"Dad." Chen Zilu calmly said: "I want to apply within the family for the usage rights of that Blood Jade Divine Tree."

"Blood Jade Divine Tree?"

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback.

"Lu, are you preparing to break through the Fifth Break?" he inquired.

"Yes."

"The Blood Jade Divine Tree is the foundation of our Chen Clan." The middle-aged man slowly said: "It's also the reason our Chen Family can be ranked among the extraordinary noble families."

"You are the strongest Tao Bone talent within the clan, possessing one opportunity to use the Blood Jade Divine Tree."

"Are you sure you want to use it now?"

"In a while." Chen Zilu pondered for a moment and said.

"Alright." The middle-aged man didn't ask further.

He looked at Chen Zilu and suddenly said: "How is your relationship with Zhou Xingkong from the Zhou Family?"

Chen Zilu slightly frowned and calmly said: "I don't like it."

"Zhou Xingkong is an extraordinary talent of your generation from the Zhou Family, and around your age." The middle-aged man said: "I think you should try to interact with him."

"Dad."

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Chen Zilu's tone was flat.

"It's not me worrying." The middle-aged man shook his head: "It's your grandfather."

He turned around.

In the projection appeared an elderly man with white hair, his complexion rosy, looking very kind.

"Grandfather?" Chen Zilu was taken aback; aside from her mother, her grandfather was the person who treated her best during her childhood.

"Lu." The white-haired elder smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time."

"In a while, I will return to the clan to visit you." Chen Zilu said.

Towards her grandfather, her tone was much gentler.

"Good." The white-haired elder nodded with a smile, and then said: "Zhou Xingkong's grandfather is a friend of mine, he often mentions you to me."

"Zhou Xingkong is also very fond of you, and I am quite optimistic about you both..." The white-haired elder continued.

Chen Zilu was silent for a moment.

A brief pause.

"Grandfather, I already have someone I like." Chen Zilu said seriously.

"Hmm?"

"You already have someone?" The white-haired elder was surprised: "Which family's extraordinary descendant?"

Chen Zilu shook her head: "Grandfather, this is my private matter."

The white-haired elder was surprised again.

Having lived over a hundred years, his insight was extremely sharp.

If Chen Zilu said this, it implied that the person she liked was highly likely not an extraordinary talent.

"Lu."

"You should understand the difficulties the family faces." The white-haired elder sighed suddenly: "Our Chen Family has not produced an extraordinary individual in a century."

"We are becoming increasingly marginalized among the extraordinary noble families."

"And now, the ancestral patriarch is nearing his end and about to fall."

"In a few more years, if the Civilization Struggle doesn't succeed in advancing—" the white-haired elder said worriedly: "Our Chen Family is very likely to be expelled from the ranks of the extraordinary noble families."

Chen Zilu listened silently.

"You are the family's hope to bear the banner in the future, but this is not enough."

"Tao Bone is invincible, but it is not extraordinary." The white-haired elder said solemnly: "However, if you can draw in an extraordinary talent, our Chen Family might have the chance to extend its life for another century."

"Lu, I hope you understand these truths."

The white-haired elder looked at Chen Zilu earnestly.

Chen Zilu said nothing.

After a long time.

"Grandfather." Chen Zilu softly said: "I will defeat the extraordinary, and if a draw is not enough, I will truly conquer them."

The white-haired elder fell silent upon hearing this.

A moment later.

The elder sighed.

He already understood the girl's determination.

"Very well." The white-haired elder waved his hand: "Grandfather supports your choice, since you have someone you like, I won't force you."

"The family can hold on for a few more years."

"Lu." The white-haired elder fixed his gaze on the girl: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you barely survived multiple life-and-death adventures, there's no need to push yourself so hard, surviving is the most important thing."

"Mm." Chen Zilu nodded lightly.

The communication ended.

Chen Zilu sat in place, as calm as ever.

She looked at her phone, a faint, almost imperceptible confusion flashing deep in her eyes.

In the past, she had enough confidence in herself.

But now, her innate ability was damaged.
