Chapter 695: Divine Fruits In Hand

Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Hou Yi, Kong Xuan, and Goumang felt anxious and helpless when they heard that the divine fruits were unripe and impossible to pluck, but when they heard Qin Yun’s threats, their eyes lit up.

“Yes, if you aren’t handing over the divine fruits, we can only snatch the divine fruit trees,” said Kong Xuan immediately. Hou Yi, Goumang felt their hopes rise.

The serpent was enraged, but it knew very well that it was at a stalemate. The five could not kill him, but similarly, he could not do anything to them. He had no way to stop them from uprooting the divine fruit trees.

“The planting of these three divine fruit trees is very difficult,” said the serpent with a deep voice. “My old master originally had more than ten divine fruit trees and traveled to countless areas before coming to the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley. After attempting various methods of planting, only three survived. Even I do not have the confidence to uproot these fruit trees and replant them successfully. And if they’re planted anywhere else outside… the chances of success would be even lower.”

The serpent looked at Qin Yun and company. “If you take them away, you will only destroy the three divine fruit trees.”

The hearts of Qin Yun and company stirred.

Old master?

Planting more than ten divine fruit trees?

“Since your old master had successfully transplanted them, there is hope for us as well,” said Kong Xuan. “Besides, if we can’t obtain the divine fruits and have to return empty-handed… we might as well try to take away the divine fruit trees.”

“You won’t be able to keep them alive.” The serpent’s eyes were filled with rage.

“Whether we succeed is our business,” said Qin Yun. “Quickly make your choice.”

The serpent turned even more anxious.

“We do not have the time to waste with you,” urged Kong Xuan as well. “If you do not agree soon, we can only snatch the fruit trees away.”

“I agree to give you three Soul Heart Fruits, a Chaos Origins Fruit, and a Spirit Enlightening Fruit,” said the serpent in a deep voice. “Hand over the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley’s memento and immediately leave.”

Qin Yun exchanged glances.

There’s a chance!

Since it easily agreed to hand over a few divine fruits, it probably meant that it had a lot more divine fruits.

“There are five of us. How are we to split this bit of divine fruit?” Qin Yun shook his head. “Besides, you want us to hand over the memento? With this, we can enter again in the future.”

“If you keep the memento, you will probably come again to threaten me in the future after leaving,” said the snake. “The memento has to be handed over before I agree to give you any divine fruits.”

Qin Yun and company exchanged looks and smiled. He continued, “Alright, we can hand over the memento, but you have to give us all the divine fruits you have.”

“All?” The serpent was enraged. “You are being too greedy.”

“But you want us to hand over the memento. If we are allowed to keep the memento, we will only ask for six Soul Heart Fruits, two Chaos Origins Fruits, and two Spirit Enlightening Fruits before agreeing to leave. However, if the memento needs to be handed over, we need to take all the divine fruits.” Qin Yun and company were staring at the serpent.

The serpent fell silent.

Qin Yun and company did not compromise either.

They could tell from the naked eye that the divine fruits had a strict requirement for their environment. It far exceeded the Connate Spirit Fruits in the Three Realms. The time it took to ripen would be very long as well.

This memento…

According to what Qin Yun and company knew , this was not the only one! To give it up for a batch of divine fruits was worth it.

Furthermore, knowing where the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley’s entrance was, it was possible to attempt entry by cracking it with force even without the memento.

“Since he’s disagreeable to it, let’s take the fruit trees,” said Kong Xuan. “I believe our seniors and masters in our homeworld will be able to find a method to plant them. With these fruit trees, once we succeed in transplanting them, there would be an endless stream of divine fruits.”

“Hand over the memento and agree to never come to the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley again,” said the serpent in a heavy voice. “I’ll give you the divine fruits.”

Qin Yun and company were delighted when they heard that.

“It’s all the divine fruits you have,” said Hou Yi.

“Don’t worry, I’ll naturally do it if I make the promise,” said the serpent in a heavy voice. “Since you’ve agreed to it, do not ever come again.”

The higher one’s cultivation was, the more importance they placed to their promises.

Both sides agreed not to violate the promise easily.

“We agree,” Qin Yun and company said one after another.

The serpent cast its gaze towards Palatial Lord Myriad Flower for he was the only one that didn’t say a word. Qin Yun and company also looked at Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.

He wore a bitter expression for he would not reap any of the benefits. However, being glared at by Qin Yun and company, and to survive, he had no choice but to say obediently, “I also agree never to come to Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley.”

“These are all the divine fruits I have accumulated after so long.” The serpent did a wave as fruits appeared hovering in midair immediately.

There were the most number of golden fruits—a total of sixteen. There were only four brown-skinned fruits that suffused white light. There were only two translucent fruits with swirling rainbow steams.

Qin Yun and company had their eyes light up.

Following that, Kong Xuan deliberately frowned and said, “There are sixteen Soul Heart Fruits, yet there are only four Chaos Origins Fruits and two Spirit Enlightening Fruits? There should be nine Soul Heart Fruits every time they ripen. There should be three for the Spirit Enlightening Fruits. Why do you have these few after all this time?”

“Since I said that these are all the divine fruits I have, I’m naturally not hiding any,” the serpent said in a deep voice. “I still wish to cultivate to a higher realm and transcend the spatial tide! As for the other divine fruits, I have eaten them. I also need to cultivate and make trades with the outside world.”

“Oh?” Qin Yun and company were enlightened. They exchanged looks before nodding slightly.

“This is the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley’s memento.” Hou Yi flipped his hand and took out the ice-blue token.

Both parties did the exchange.

The ice-blue token flew to the serpent, while the divine fruits flew to Qin Yun and company. Hou Yi waved his hand and stored them away.

“Hmph!”

When the serpent saw the ice-blue token fly towards him, he scoffed softly, “That old bastard refined these mementos after transcending the spatial tide and scattered them in the spatial tide to give to so-called successors. What a joke.”

Qin Yun and company pricked up their brows when he heard that.

“So it was your old master who wanted to use the mementos to split the divine fruits to all cultivators,” Kong Xuan said with a chuckle. “If that’s the case, it’s even more true that you shouldn’t monopolize them.”

“Who doesn’t want to monopolize such treasures? With these divine fruit trees, I can make trades with various cultivators from other universes,” said the serpent with a scoff. “As for my old master, hmph. He’s also an outsider, while I was born in this valley. He came to my valley, occupied it, and enslaved me… How is it possible for me to listen to him?”

Qin Yun was enlightened.

It was no wonder the stone serpent was enriched by the powers in this world. He could rapidly heal from any injuries, no matter how severe they were.

“If he had not refined this token, you wouldn’t be able to enter with the abilities you possess,” said the serpent with a grunt. “By the way, return me the array formation treasure you took away from me.”

“Return? That’s our spoils of war,” said Kong Xuan with a smile. “You can use treasures to exchange for it.”

“If you want it, keep it then. It’s merely an array formation item refined from the valley’s rock.” The serpent couldn’t be bothered to harp on the matter. “Alright, you’ve obtained the divine fruits, so leave quickly. Fly to where you originally entered, and I’ll open the entrance and send you out.”

“We’ll leave in a while,” said Hou Yi.

Qin Yun and company began discussing over voice transmissions.

“Everyone, we have obtained sixteen Soul Heart Fruits, four Chaos Origins Fruits, and two Spirit Enlightening Fruits. How do we split it?” Hou Yi asked. “I want one Spirit Enlightening Fruit.”

“I also want one Spirit Enlightening Fruit,” said Qin Yun. There were multiple Soul Heart Fruits, so everyone was definitely getting one. As for the Spirit Enlightening Fruit, it was used to gain epiphanies in cultivation. If one’s realm was further enhanced, their overall strength would be raised once more.

Kong Xuan and Goumang hesitated.

Both of them wished to obtain the Spirit Enlightening Fruit as well.

If they obtained the Spirit Enlightening Fruits, both of them might be able to attain the half-step Heavenly Dao realm.

However, there were only two of those.
