First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 23: Purple Sun Zhu Fruit

"Master, are you still worried about the Lingtian disaster?"

Passing through the Zhao family members, Shen Mo walked straight to the family head, Zhao Bing.

"Sigh," Zhao Bing's face was full of worry as he sighed.

Although he didn't say anything, his worries were already self-evident.

"I'm preparing to return to the sect."

Shen Mo hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I can't temporarily resolve this Lingtian disaster, but if the Zhao family can't find any other cultivators, I will come back again in the future."

"Master, are you serious?"

Zhao Bing, who had been frowning, was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Yes, I will come back to Yong'an Town in a month. By then, I will be fully prepared to eliminate the snake disaster for the Zhao family," he nodded and instructed, "However, during this period, do not let others enter the Lingtian, and do not seek other cultivators to come, so as not to anger the two-headed python."

It was important not to let other cultivators know about this matter and enter the Lingtian.

Otherwise, if other cultivators saw the purple Zhu fruit, they would surely become greedy.

At that time, they might take the fruit before anyone else.

So he emphasized this matter seriously.

"Master, rest assured, the Zhao family will follow your teachings."

Zhao Bing nodded repeatedly, unable to contain his joy.

He didn't expect that the master's attitude would change so dramatically and that he would agree to continue resolving this disaster for the Zhao family.

Truly, the heavens are blessing our Zhao family.

Lingjiang Sect, Mountain Gate.

After finishing the discussion, Shen Mo set off and returned to the sect after an hour's journey.

He slightly brightened the identity jade pendant around his waist, and the disciple guarding the mountain gate let him in.

After returning to the sect, he originally wanted to go back to his residence and rest for a while.

But as soon as he arrived at his own courtyard, he saw a figure standing at the door.

It seemed like he had been waiting for a while.

"Uncle Chen?"

He looked at the figure and was somewhat surprised, "You've come out of seclusion?"

The person waiting for him at the door was Chen An, a friend of his parents and an Outer Sect deacon who had taken care of him.

He remembered that Chen Mengze had told him that Uncle Chen wanted to break through recently, so he had been in closed-door training and didn't have time to visit him.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Chen came during his absence.

"I just came out of seclusion today and wanted to come and see you. I didn't expect you to be outside the sect," Chen An turned around and looked at Shen Mo, who had rushed back covered in dust, and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Uncle Chen, under Mengze's guidance, I made up my mind to go out for practical training. So I took on a bounty mission from a vassal family and went to Yong'an Town."

"Practical training?"

"Did this trip go smoothly? Did you get injured?"

Faced with Uncle Chen's concern, Shen Mo hesitated for a moment before truthfully saying, "Although I didn't get injured much, this trip didn't go smoothly."

He informed Chen An about what he saw in Yong'an Town, including the two-headed silver-patterned python hidden in the Lingtian and the purple Zhu fruit on the giant tree.

"In the information, it didn't mention the existence of powerful Demonic Beasts close to the second rank, which almost caused me to capsize in the gutter."

Shen Mo still had some resentment about the incomplete information.

But Chen An's focus was not on that, but on the purple Zhu fruit.

"You mean, you saw a purple Zhu fruit hanging on a tree?"

Chen An's expression became solemn, and he asked with great seriousness, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"It was indeed purple, without a doubt."

Shen Mo was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chen An to attach such importance to the purple Zhu fruit.

So he described it carefully once again.

"That fruit was hanging on a giant tree, perhaps its quality was too high, so it absorbed all the nutrients from the tree."

A large fruit tree, only bearing this one fruit, the rest are just broken branches and withered leaves.

By the way, on that apricot fruit, there seems to be some intricate patterns, resembling thunder."

Chen An took a deep breath and said, "The apricot fruit you saw should be the legendary Purple Yang Apricot!"

Purple Yang Apricot?

Shen Mo was stunned and asked, "Is this kind of apricot very precious?"

He did guess that the quality of the purple apricot was not bad, far from ordinary.

But Uncle Chen's reaction was so strong that he felt he might still be underestimating the value of the apricot.

"The Purple Yang Apricot is naturally extremely precious, only through the tempering of heavenly thunder can it be condensed."

Tempering of heavenly thunder?

Shen Mo heard this and was relieved.

No wonder the people of the Zhao family were unaware of the existence of this Purple Yang Apricot.

Most likely, that tree of fruit had nothing special about it before, but one day it was struck by heavenly thunder, and only then did the Purple Yang Apricot condense.

This attracted the covetousness of the two-headed python, preventing them from entering the spiritual field and knowing about the changes in the apricot.

"If this Purple Yang Apricot is sold, can it be worth seventy Spirit Stones?"

Shen Mo threw out his original estimate and asked curiously.

"Seventy Spirit Stones?" Chen An raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Not to mention seventy, even seven hundred, or even thousands of Spirit Stones, may not be able to buy it!"

"This kind of rare item has no market value, the apricot is easy to obtain, but the tempering of heavenly thunder is hard to come by."

Can't even buy it for a thousand Spirit Stones?

Shen Mo took a sharp breath.

"Even if the quality is good, it is only a low-level spiritual medicine, how can it be so valuable?"

He was a bit puzzled.

"If it was just a simple medicine for replenishing spiritual energy, it naturally wouldn't be so valuable."

"But the Purple Yang Apricot is the supreme spiritual medicine for Body Forging Realm cultivators to open up the cyclone in their Dantian!"

"Open up the cyclone in the Dantian?"

Shen Mo frowned, still not understanding.

The original host had not been exposed to much cultivation knowledge beyond the Body Forging Realm.

For him, Chen An's words were already beyond his scope.

Seeing this, Chen An directly explained to him, "When a Body Forging Realm cultivator advances to the Qi Gathering stage, their body undergoes a transformation."

"The Qi Sea needs to open up the Dantian in order to be considered a successful advancement."

The biggest difference between a Body Forging Realm cultivator and a Qi Gathering stage cultivator lies in the Qi Sea Dantian.

A cultivator in the Body Forging Realm has not opened up the Qi Sea Dantian, so they cannot store a large amount of Spirit Power.

They rely solely on their well-trained physical strength.

In the end, they still belong to the realm of mortals and have not truly entered the realm of immortals.

On the other hand, a Qi Gathering stage cultivator has a Qi Sea Dantian and can freely use various immortal techniques. The difference between the two is huge.

In fact, there are three major Dantian in the human Qi Sea, namely the Upper Dantian, Middle Dantian, and Lower Dantian."

"The vast majority of cultivators can only condense one Dantian when they break through to the Qi Gathering stage."

Chen An said seriously.

"When a cultivator advances to the Qi Gathering stage and opens up more Dantian, their combat power will be stronger, right?"

Shen Mo secretly guessed and asked.

"Not just combat power," Chen An said seriously, "but also future cultivation potential."

"When advancing, a cultivator who opens up two Dantian has a much greater chance of advancing to the Spirit Sea stage than an ordinary cultivator."

"As for a cultivator who opens up three Dantian, they have an exceptional foundation and are highly likely to advance to the Spirit Sea stage and become an Elemental Pill stage cultivator!"

"To open up the three major Dantian, it relies on the accumulation of the cultivator themselves, and very few external objects can assist."

"And this Purple Yang Apricot happens to be one of them."

If swallowed during advancement, it will increase the probability of a cultivator condensing multiple Dantian!"
