Chapter 459 Bridge

There were a total of seven disciples from Tianbao City who entered the ancient tree area. Pei Yun and the other four could not tell the cultivation level of one of them, but the leading female disciple was only at the initial stage of Golden Core. She had dimples on her round face when she smiled, and looked very young.

A man beside her stood up, showing the usual arrogance of a relative, and squinted at Pei Yun and the other four and said, "Hand over the red sand fruit, and I'll let you go..."

Hearing this, Pei Yun and the other five looked grim. Duanmu Xu stepped forward, showing no intention of giving in, and said, "Everything has a first come first served order. Since this spiritual fruit has been obtained by me and my companions, there is no way we can give it up."

“Humph!” The man snorted coldly and said arrogantly, “This Qiankun Dao treasure map is our master’s treasure. We are disciples of Tianbao Zhenren, and you are just outsiders who come to take advantage. I am already being polite by just asking you to hand over the spiritual fruit!”

"Ha..." Ling Ziyan couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. He came to Duanmu Xu's side and said to the group of people, "It turns out that in the eyes of the people in Tianbao City, we participants are taking advantage of this treasure hunt. We will help you spread your words after we get out..."

"You!" Ling Ziyan's sarcasm made the group of people's expressions change slightly.

Bai Chengming also walked to Ling Ziyan's side. Although there was a smile in his eyes, it was not visible. He said:

"Before we came here, we were not told not to compete with Tianbao Zhenren's disciples for treasures. How come the people of Tianbao City are so unreasonable that they must give you the treasures they like?! This is much more overbearing than our Lingyao Sect!"

When the other party heard the three words "Lingyao Sect", his expression changed drastically. Lingyao Sect is one of the top five sects in Dongcangzhou, and their Tianbao City is still far behind.

The disciple from Tianbao City who had originally spoken seemed to be choked, and his previous arrogant attitude was completely gone. He took a few steps back stiffly.

The leading woman looked at Pei Yun and the other four for a moment, with a smile on her face, and said gently:

"It is my Senior Brother Du who has offended you with his inappropriate words. I hope the fellow Taoists of Lingyao Sect will forgive me. My grandfather held the treasure hunt in order to make friends with the guests of Baolin Pavilion. Anyone who has the ability can obtain the treasures in this Qiankun Dao treasure map..."

"Junior sister, this red sand fruit..."

The man who had spoken earlier wanted to speak again anxiously. The woman turned around and glanced at the man with the corners of her mouth slightly lowered. The man immediately dared not say anything more.

Pei Yun and the other five looked at each other, and Duanmu Xu said, "The five of us have already picked some spiritual fruits. Since you are all here, we will not compete with you for them. We will leave now..."

"How did you leave?" the woman asked with interest.

To be honest, they were able to enter here because their grandfather told them the location early in the morning and gave them wooden beads made from the branches of the Shatang tree. After they arrived at the tree stump, they used the wooden beads to activate the magic circle.

Duanmu Xu and the other three looked at Pei Yun, and the people present also looked at her curiously following their gaze. For a moment, Pei Yun became the focus of the scene.

Pei Yun nodded to Duanmu Xu and the other three, then came to the ancient tree. The four stood behind Pei Yun to protect her. There were other people at the scene, so Duanmu Xu and the others were very cautious to prevent sneak attacks.

When Pei Yun raised his hand and touched the trunk of the ancient tree, a force of time was released from his palm. The roots, branches, leaves, and fruit of the ancient tree gradually emitted dots of green light...

"What a... profound aura." The disciple with the highest cultivation level in Tianbao City looked serious and suddenly spoke.

The leading woman was Zhou Yuan, the granddaughter of Tianbao Zhenren. She looked at the five people who were enveloped by the light of the magic circle and disappeared on the spot. She said in a serious tone:

"This woman should be practicing the Way of Time. Grandfather said that unless you have practiced the Way of Time, outsiders cannot enter here..."

"The Way of Time?! This is one of the most difficult ways to cultivate..."

"They just said that they are disciples of Lingyao Sect. This is not surprising. Lingyao Sect is one of the top ten sects in Dongcangzhou..."

"Master told us before we came in to avoid conflicts with these outsiders, because those who can come in, even if their cultivation is not high, may have backers behind them..."

The disciples of Tianbao City started discussing, and from time to time they glanced at Senior Brother Du who had spoken earlier.

Zhou Yuan obviously didn't like people acting on their own, and before she even opened her mouth, she used the power of Zhenren Tianbao to offend others.

The smile on her face completely disappeared, and her slightly childish face actually had a hint of majesty at this moment. She said, "Senior Brother Du seems to need to learn more about how to behave in Tianbao City. I don't need your protection now, so please get out!"

"Junior sister, I was wrong..." Du Wei knew that Zhou Yuan had a very high status in Tianbao City. If she said anything in front of Tianbao Zhenren, he might be kicked out.

So he looked at Zhou Yuan with a pleading and flattering look, but seeing that she was indifferent, he had no choice but to activate the teleportation ring.

On the other side, after Pei Yun and the other four were teleported out, they immediately left the place...

"Just now I heard from people in Tianbao City that this ancient tree is called Shatang tree, and the fruit is called red sand fruit. Have you heard of it?" Ling Ziyan asked in a good mood.

Not only was he in a good mood, the other four were also in a good mood. They thought that there would be another fierce battle, but unexpectedly...: "Although there is a mentally confused disciple among the disciples of Tianbao City, most of them are still normal people." Bai Chengming couldn't help but sigh.

"Although their overall strength is stronger than ours, we are not at the mercy of others. A fight will only hurt both sides. Besides, my identity as a disciple of Lingyao Sect makes them feel apprehensive..."

Duanmu Xu said, "We have picked twenty-one of these red sand fruits, and there are still more than half left to be picked. It is fair for both forces to take half."

Xu Moshuang rarely spoke: "Although the leading woman has a low level of cultivation, she is experienced in dealing with people and knows how to behave. Just now, she defuses the tension between the two sides with just a few words..."

Pei Yun replied to Ling Ziyan: "I have seen the description of the sand tangerine tree in an ancient book about flowers and plants. It is a precious and rare spiritual tree. Its flowers and fruits have medicinal effects. This red sand fruit has the effect of replenishing spiritual power and dredging meridians. Its value is no less than that of a fourth-grade elixir..."

After these words were spoken, the other four people became more excited.

Pei Yun took out the treasure-hunting rat again and started searching everywhere, but in the next three months, he hardly had any big gains. Not only was he often overtaken by others, he also often encountered participants who wanted to kill people and steal treasures. Fortunately, he did not encounter Lu Wu and his group.

A few days later, Pei Yun and his party, led by the treasure-hunting rat, came to a clear river. Not far away there was an arched mahogany bridge.

The treasure-hunting mouse came to the center of the wooden bridge and refused to leave. It pointed at the bridge with its little paws. For some reason, its little body began to tremble slightly and it squeaked, asking Pei Yun to put it back into the space.

Pei Yun frowned slightly and put it back into the space. Of course, in the eyes of others, they just thought he put it into the spirit pet bag.

The four of them didn't pay much attention to it and asked Pei Yun: "Does the treasure-hunting rat mean that there is a treasure here?"
