Chen Diji looked at the fruit tree standing in the center of the plain, with five golden fruits growing on it.

It doesn't sound like it's that good.

Chen Diji thought to himself, the spiritual energy in this thing is not as abundant as the wild fruits I picked in the fairyland!

"The things inside are so good, why don't you go in by yourself." Zhang Liyuan's eyes were burning, but when he thought of the white-haired tiger just stopping at the outermost edge, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Good things are not so easy to get." The white-haired tiger lay on the ground and glanced at Zhang Liyuan calmly. "Since it is a good thing, there must be a more powerful guardian beast inside. I am no match for it."

"Then why did you bring us here?"

"Doesn't this kid want a treasure? I'll bring him here."

"You! You are a Yuanying stage person, but you still listen to a child. You are really bringing shame to the Yuanying stage."

Zhang Liyuan held his forehead helplessly. He never thought that a Yuanying stage tiger would be willing to be a mount for the child in front of him, but he didn't expect that it would actually listen to him so much.

This is the Nascent Soul stage!

"Okay." Seeing Zhang Liyuan's intense reaction, Long Chen said quickly, "Since Senior Hu is willing to listen to Junior Brother, then listen! The question now is how do we get the fruit."

Long Chen's eyes were fixed on the Golden Spirit Fruit. He wanted to give it a try and take a Golden Spirit Fruit and take it back.

"Li Yuan, you stay here, I'll go over and give it a try."

After saying that, Long Chen took a step towards the Golden Spirit Fruit. Finding that there was no problem, he walked forward again. Suddenly, a huge pressure came over him, suffocating him. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he knelt on one knee, supporting the ground with his hands.

"Pfft~"

"Senior Brother Long!"

Seeing Long Chen like this, Zhang Liyuan subconsciously walked over to support Long Chen.

Before he could get close, Long Chen stopped him immediately, "Don't come over! There is pressure from the strong here! Once you come in, it will be difficult to get out."

"What should I do? I can't just watch you die!"

Zhang Liyuan was extremely anxious and wanted to pull Long Chen back immediately.

Seeing this, the white-haired tiger was not worried at all. He pushed Chen Diji's back and said, "You go."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Liyuan got even angrier after hearing this. "What is a kid doing there? Come back here!"

Chen Diji did not listen to Zhang Liyuan's words. The moment the white-haired tiger pushed him forward, he walked forward happily.

My golden elixir is sealed, and in the eyes of outsiders I am just a little kid who knows nothing.

There must be some hidden meaning behind the push the white-haired tiger made just now, so it might be worth giving it a try.

Chen Diji walked forward quickly with his short legs. When he passed Long Chen, he noticed that the corner of his clothes seemed to be grabbed by someone.

Looking down, he found that the person who grabbed his clothes was Long Chen.

"Don't go! It's... dangerous here."

Chen Diji grabbed the corner of his clothes and ran away in front of Long Chen.

He came to the tree almost without any pressure, and when he was about to climb up to pick the fruit, he looked at the tree in a daze.

If this tree is mine, then I don't have to look for spiritual fruits everywhere in the future? Maybe I can even sell these spiritual fruits for a lot of money.

I'm so smart!

Thinking of this, he immediately took out a long wooden stick from his pocket, aimed it at the roots of the tree and prepared to start digging.

"What is he doing?" Zhang Liyuan watched Chen Diji's smooth movements. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.

"I guess he wants to dig up the tree." The white-haired tiger was not surprised at Chen Diji's behavior. "After all, he is so greedy!"

Chen Diji used a branch to dig for a long time, but he could only dig a small hole next to the tree roots.

It's really hard to dig this thing out.

Chen Diji cursed in his heart. He looked around and found the sword at Long Chen's waist.

That thing should be able to dig things up pretty quickly!

He ran back happily again. Just when Long Chen and Zhang Liyuan were puzzled by Chen Diji's behavior, Chen Diji came in front of Long Chen and snatched the sword from his waist.

"Wait! What is that in his hand?" Zhang Liyuan was stunned when he saw this scene. He was even more horrified in his heart, "That's... the sword of the late Jindan stage!"

"How could he take it so easily? Isn't he... an ordinary child?"

I finally figured it out! Silly!

The white-haired tiger was not surprised. He could feel the oppression brought to him by Chen Diji. A mere Jindan period sword was even easier for him to deal with.

"What are you doing with my sword?" Long Chen said with difficulty, lying on the ground.

"See?" Chen Diji pointed at the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree, "Of course we dig it up."

"I don't want to stay here with such good stuff." Chen Diji said confidently. He returned with his sword in hand. "Dig you! Dig you! Dig you! I want to make money! I want money!"

Chen Diji didn't know how long he had been digging, but he finally dug a big hole under the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree. At this time, Zhang Liyuan did everything he could to pull Long Chen back.

"I didn't expect it." Zhang Liyuan sighed, "A three or four-year-old child is so greedy!"

"It's fine if you want the fruit, but you have to move the tree too."

"And...he was able to pull out your sword!"

"Brother Long, when you were three years old...were you this powerful?"

Long Chen shook his head. He was also deeply doubtful and shocked by Chen Diji's actions. He didn't expect that there was someone in this world who could pull out his sword without any magical power.

"I think I know why Master Chu Yi is willing to accept him as his disciple." Long Chen looked at Chen Diji's small figure and said with emotion, "I think Master Chu Yi must have seen the wonder in him, so he accepted him as his disciple."

"I see." Zhang Liyuan nodded in agreement.

"Hurry up and take a look, there seems to be some movement ahead!" Just as Long Chen and Zhang Liyuan were standing aside waiting quietly, they noticed that someone seemed to be coming not far away.

"Oh no! Someone is coming." Zhang Liyuan heard the voice coming from not far away, and his heart suddenly stagnated, "If we are discovered, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle!"

"What should we do? Should we let the child go with us right now?"

"This is the only way." Long Chen nodded in agreement, "Kid, stop digging! Someone is coming! Let's go!"

Chen Diji, who was still working hard to dig the tree, heard the voice of someone coming early. He sped up, and soon, the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree was dug out. He put the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree into the storage bag.

Then he quickly ran back to the white-haired tiger's back, pretending that it had nothing to do with him.

"What is that?" A group of people came from a distance, pointing at the big hole in the middle. "It looks like something has been dug out."

"It must be some rare treasure! Damn it! Someone got there first!"

"Look! It's them! It's the Liuli Sect! Someone from the Liuli Sect must have taken the treasure away."

"Big Brother, what should we do? They still suspect us." Zhang Liyuan looked at the dense crowd of people coming over, with a look as if he was ready to call them to task.

Long Chen remained silent. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the person coming over warily, and subconsciously pushed Chen Diji behind him.

When Chen Diji saw a group of people coming over, his eyes were clear, as if the big pit in the middle had nothing to do with him.

There are a few acquaintances.

Chen Diji thought, they shouldn’t suspect me!

"It was you two who dug up the treasure?" Zhang Wusun walked slowly forward and stood in front of Long Chen and Zhang Liyuan.

"Such a big pit, the treasure inside must be quite big. May I ask Senior Brother Long Chen, what is inside? Can I take it out for you to see?"

Long Chen remained silent, his eyes solemn.

"Brother." Zhang Liyuan saw that Long Chen had been silent for a long time, so he leaned close to Long Chen's ear and asked, "Should we tell him what's inside?"

"No." Long Chen refused. "Tell him what happened. Do you think...with so many of them, will they let us go?"

"You haven't spoken for so long, could it be... there is some incredible treasure inside?"

"Treasure? What treasure?" The situation was tense. Chen Diji yawned and slowly sat up from the tiger's back. "Where is the treasure here?"

"Oh no! It's a demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage! Protect the eldest young master!" The people surrounding Zhang Wusun surrounded Zhang Wusun in a protective manner.

"What are you afraid of? It's very well behaved." Chen Diji stroked the white-haired tiger's head and looked at everyone with an innocent face.

"You must be joking! That's a tiger in the Nascent Soul stage!"

Chen Diji pretended not to understand, holding Long Chen's little finger with his little hand, blinking his watery eyes, innocent and cute, "I'm scared."

After hearing this, Long Chen quickly hugged Chen Diji in his arms and looked at everyone. He said, "We don't know what's inside! We have to leave now! Please make way!"

"No!" One of the people around Zhang Wusun stepped forward to stop them, "I don't believe there is nothing in there, you must have hidden something!"

"That's right! I advise you to hand it over! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Listening to the shouts of the crowd, Zhang Wusun took a step forward and said, "Brother Long, there are so many of us here. Even if you are at the peak of the Golden Core stage, you may not be able to defeat all of us. So I advise you to give the thing to us, otherwise...you and the child in your arms will pay the price for this treasure!"

The atmosphere was tense, and Zhang Wusun and his group were even more aggressive. Several pairs of eyes stared at Chen Diji and the other two viciously like jackals. Some of them even held the hilts of knives with the blades visible, and a battle was about to break out.

"But we have a white tiger in the Nascent Soul stage here. You are no match for us."

After Chen Diji finished speaking, the white-haired tiger slowly stood up and stood in front of Long Chen, separating Long Chen and Zhang Wusun.

The white-haired tiger stared at Zhang Wusun, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, especially for Zhang Wusun and his group. When they realized that the white-haired tiger was protecting Long Chen and the others behind him, they retreated in fear.

If they were dealing with a peak or middle Jindan stage cultivator, they would still be confident. But now there was a Yuanying stage cultivator fighting with them, and Zhang Wusun and his companions instantly lost their confidence. Not to mention dealing with three people, they had no way to deal with even a Yuanying stage white-haired tiger.

"Can we go now?" Seeing everyone's faces filled with horror and retreating in fear, Chen Diji's childish voice sounded again, and he turned to look at Long Chen.

"Let's go!" Seeing the white-haired tiger blocking Zhang Wusun and his group for them, Long Chen and Zhang Liyuan turned around and left with Chen Diji.

When leaving, Chen Diji shouted to Zhang Wusun and the others, "We didn't find anything, really nothing."

Ever since Chen Diji dug out the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree, the maze on the top of the mountain disappeared. In the blink of an eye, a group of people appeared on the entire mountain top.

"Senior Brother Long."

Just as Long Chen and Zhang Liyuan were about to leave quickly and head to another mountain, Zhang Ruowan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother, where did you go just now?" Zhang Ruowan hurried over to meet Long Chen, "You disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"This is a maze. If we're not careful we'll be separated. How are you? Are you in any danger?"

Zhang Ruowan gradually approached Long Chen, and suddenly, she found that something seemed to be moving in Long Chen's arms. When she looked carefully, it turned out to be the child she met before.

"Why is he here?"

Zhang Ruowan's tone was not very good, and even contained a hint of disdain.

Chen Diji felt Zhang Ruowan's inexplicable disgust towards him, and was stunned for a moment. Then, he flapped his legs, trying to get down.

Long Chen sensed Chen Diji's movement and quickly put him down.

After Chen Diji stood on the ground, he looked at Zhang Ruowan and explained, "I walked up here accidentally."

"This is not a place for a child like you to stay. In about twenty days, the entrance to the secret realm will open again, and you can leave through it then."

Zhang Liyuan listened to Zhang Ruowan's explosive words, and quickly blocked Chen Diji behind him, and advised, "It's just a child, we can still take him with us."

"Brother Zhang, have you forgotten?" Zhang Ruowan saw Zhang Liyuan also taking Chen Diji with him and shouted angrily, "How dangerous is the place we are going to next?"

"Don't worry, we'll keep him safe."

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Zhang. I will protect him." Long Chen held Chen Diji's shoulder, his eyes fixed on Chen Diji. "I will be responsible for his safety, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing Long Chen's determination, Zhang Ruowan had no choice but to bow to Long Chen. She said, "Since Senior Brother Long insists on taking her with him, I have no choice. But if this child is in danger later, you can't blame us brothers for not rescuing her."

"Don't worry, he doesn't need your help." After saying this, Long Chen picked up Chen Diji again.

Chen Diji sat on Long Chen's shoulder, and involuntarily wanted to take out a Red Flame Fruit from the storage bag. Suddenly, he remembered the group of people around him, and he quickly took his hand out of the storage bag.

"Since there are no questions, let's set off immediately to the center of the secret realm!"

Seeing that no one objected, Long Chen immediately ordered to go to the next stop - the secret realm center!

Just as all the people who had entered the sect gathered together and were preparing to head to the center of the secret realm, the white-haired tiger slowly walked towards them.

The person who discovered the white-haired tiger immediately assumed a fighting stance and blocked Long Chen behind him.

"Oh no! It's a Yuanying stage tiger! Senior Brother Long, run away!"
