“Adams, how did you know that there would be so many fruits here? That’s amazing!” Vivian yelled excitedly while they were still hovering in the sky.

“The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. Naturally, I have my own means. Later on, you just need to gather fruits. Our current task is to strive to pick all the fruits on the entire mountain within one day!” Adams gleefully said.

Vivian simply nodded in response without saying anything, but her expression was one of excitement.

When the two of them finally landed on the ground, an alcoholic and sweet smell of decaying matter hit them, making Adams and Vivian feel a little intoxicated.

Vivian’s brows knitted together as she said, “What’s that smell? It feels weird!”

Adams looked down at the ground below his feet and said, “This is an orchard planted by the human race back then. No one has harvested it for thousands of years. The smell of decay and fermentation is coming from the ripe fruits that fell. Hurry up and find something to cover your mouth and nose. Be careful of miasma!”

Vivian asked curiously, “What’s miasma?”

Adams scratched his head, not knowing how to explain the common sense on Earth. Finally, he said helplessly, “It’s a poisonous gas. We must be careful!”

Vivian nodded, and before took out two face flannels used by aristocratic ladies from her quantum ring. She put one on her face, and then handed the other to Adams along with her quantum ring.

Adams asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Vivian said, “My quantum ring has a thousand compartments worth of space. You can store all the fruits here!”

Finding that Vivian was behaving a little strangely, Adams continued to ask, “What about you?”

Vivian lowered her head and said, “My gains from this trip will be inspected by the family when I return. No matter how many fruits I bring back, they will eventually be confiscated by the family. To the Kevin Family, a daughter like me is just a sacrificial lamb used for marriage alliance with other families. They won’t give me too many resources!

“Now that you have formed your own team, you will have to grow stronger and accumulate more precious food when you go back. It will be of use sooner or later, and I believe you will not forget my share!”

Realisation dawned on Adams and he said, “So you want to save a treasury for yourself and get me to help you safeguard it! In that case, you can just gather the fruits yourself and not hand them over to your family!”

Vivian helplessly said, “My quantum ring is the family’s property, so I have to hand it over when I go back. If I give it to you, I can claim that I lost it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to avoid the family’s inspection!”

Hearing this, Adams pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Adams was hesitating, Vivian dejectedly said, “To be honest with you, my family has already started to arrange my marriage. When my coming-of-age ceremony is over, they will make me marry Anthony!

“But I don’t want to marry that kind of scumbag. I can’t hold it off for too long just based on cultivation studies. Therefore, I need sufficient resources to ensure that I can leave my family and escape the fate of being a sacrificial lamb. Please help me!”

All of a sudden, Adams snapped his fingers and chuckled, “Of course I will help you. But I don’t need your quantum ring because I’ve thought of a better solution!”

“A better solution?” Vivian’s heart was reignited with hope as she looked at Adams with anticipation.

Adams stretched out his right hand and took off his quantum ring. Then, he handed it to Vivian.

“This is the quantum ring that was issued for the coming-of-age ceremony. It won’t be taken back after the coming-of-age ceremony. You can use it to collect fruits and then hide it on you and not let your family know about it!” Adams suggested wittily.

Vivian asked hesitantly, “What about you?”

Adams raised his left hand and waved it in front of Vivian as he said, “I still have a quantum ring left behind by that level-nine warrior. There are ten thousand compartments in there. You don’t have to worry about me!”

Vivian froze to the spot and her voice quivered as she said, “Ten thousand compartments… A special-grade quantum ring! This is something that only an important senior-rank figure of the Empire has the right to possess. Looks like that powerful being must have had an extraordinary status back then!”

Adams looked at the ring on his finger in surprise. He did not expect Master Charlie to have such a noble status. In that case, there must be a huge family behind him. Perhaps, it still exists today!

After all, he had benefited a lot from Master Charlie. Adams was not a person who would not repay the kindness he received. He had already made up his mind to ask about Master Charlie’s family when he went back. If he had any descendants left in this world, he could find an opportunity to repay them. It would also be considered as fulfilling the Master-disciple fate with Master Charlie that was separated by thousands of years!

“Anyway, now that I have this special-grade quantum ring, I won’t need the ordinary stuff from my coming-of-age ceremony. You can keep it!”

Adams stuffed the ordinary ring into Vivian’s hand before covering his face with the face flannel. He pointed to the surrounding fruit trees and said, “Our priority now is not to modestly decline each other. Rather, we should be thinking about how to split the spoils!”

Vivian didn’t decline further. After accepting Adams’ ring, she said, “Let’s split up. I’ll only collect a small portion and not fill up all the compartments but you have to do your best. I won’t repeat the reason!”

“Don’t worry!”

Adams responded before turning around and walking deeper into the woods. Along the way, he raised his left hand high and gathered all the fruits from the nearby trees into his quantum ring.

The orchard developed by the human race back then was very rich in variety. On the whole, fruits that Adams could find on Earth had also bore fruit here.

“We can finally have a change of diet now. I’m sick of apples!” Adams exclaimed delightedly.

However, when Adams finished harvesting all the fruits on the mountaintop and came to the mountain waist, he suddenly realized that the fruits on the trees around him had gradually decreased. The further down he went, the fewer fruits he could see.

“What’s going on?” Adams’ brows furrowed as he wondered aloud in confusion.

“Adams!”

Just then, Vivian’s anxious voice suddenly rang out from somewhere nearby.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ran in the direction of the voice. When he arrived beside Vivian, he saw that she was pointing at the ground beneath her feet in shock.

On the ground full of rotten fruits, there was a set of human footprints that went all the way down the mountain!

“What’s going on? Could it be from fellow participants of the coming-of-age ceremony?” Adams exclaimed in disbelief.

Vivian shook her head and said, “No way! It’s impossible for there to be someone else as sick as you among the people participating in the coming-of-age ceremony. I think the person who left the footprints should be the legendary wanderer!s”

“Wanderers? Are they refugees trapped here from all those years ago?” Adams asked.

“No, a Wanderer is a profession! To be precise, it’s a group of space pirates piloting interstellar spacecrafts to gather precious resources from the different alien realms! Most of them are low-level cultivators who are greedy for profits, or ordinary people who want to get rich overnight. Furthermore, there are many who are notorious wanted criminals!” Vivian corrected Adams’ understanding.

Then, she raised her head and looked around before analyzing, “Since the wanderers discovered the fruits here, they couldn’t have left half a mountain of fruits for us. Looks like there are even more valuable resources around here, such that they temporarily gave up on gathering fruits!”

At Vivian’s reminder, realisation immediately dawned on Adams and he said anxiously, “Oh no, my Evil Blood Spring!”
