Then he fled and fell off the stage.
Having already surrendered, Wang Shouzhe naturally wouldn’t continue the attack. Instead, he slowly wrapped up the Bloodthirsty Vines and saluted Ji Mingyu from afar, saying, “Brother Mingyu, thanks for the fight!”
Upon hearing this,
Ji Mingyu’s body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. Several core disciples rushed forward to prop him up. Pills were forcefully stuffed into his mouth as if they were of no value.
Only at this moment did Ji Mingyu feel the fear and after-effects.
His entire body was soft, devoid of all energy, as if all his vitality and essence blood had been sucked dry.
He felt exhausted as if he had been through an incredibly intensive physical activity, the kind that leaves one utterly drained.
Master Binglan’s face was incredibly grim.
She quickly discerned that her core disciple was nearly drained and thanked her luck for stopping the fight in time. Otherwise, if Ji Mingyu’s foundational power had been damaged, it would be troublesome.
She glared at Wang Shouzhe, “You brat, you clearly had the upper hand. Couldn’t you show mercy?”
“Master,” Wang Shouzhe replied indifferently, “Brother Mingyu was so powerful. Would I dare stop if he didn’t surrender? What if he turned the tide and won?”
He grumbled inwardly, ‘If I had lost, would you have compensated me with a Longevity Fruit?’
Master Binglan was left speechless by his retort.
Nevertheless, she glared fiercely at Master Changchun, her gaze murderous.
Master Changchun was dumbfounded by her stare. ‘Why is she glaring at me? It was Wang Shouzhe who retorted.’
“Humph!” Master Binglan could no longer bear the humiliation and flew back into the Mysterious Ice Palace after instructing a few core disciples to take good care of Ji Mingyu.
Once she left,
Master Changchun immediately perked up and laughed heartily, “Well done, boy! This battle was truly spectacular, you’ve brought honor to Changchun Valley.”
The disciples of Changchun Valley also cheered excitedly.
Especially the older disciples, they were crying tears of joy. The scene was spectacular, including Senior Brother Jinshan, some were sobbing loudly.
They were witnessing a dream that many Changchun Valley disciples had held for generations being realized.
That day had finally arrived.
In contrast, the disciples from the Mysterious Ice Palace were dispirited, especially the older ones. They had lived their entire lives without ever being challenged by disciples from Changchun Valley.
And yet they had been challenged successfully this time!
Even Ji Mingyu, the strongest among the younger core disciples, had been defeated.
Seeing the smug look on Master Changchun’s face, Wang Shouzhe seized the moment to remind him, “Master, you promised me something.”
“Rest assured, boy,” Master Changchun replied reluctantly, “As a Master, would I be so dishonorable as to break my promise?”
As he spoke, he pulled out a box filled with Changchun Spiritual Tea and reluctantly gave Wang Shouzhe eight portions, not an ounce more.
Then he took out a jade box and with a pained expression, handed it to Wang Shouzhe, “This is the Longevity Fruit. Boy, I see you’re in good health, and haven’t lost any vitality. Your future life span will be long. This fruit doesn’t suit you, so don’t be greedy and eat it just because.”
Wang Shouzhe opened the jade box.
As expected, a refreshing aroma filled the air. Inside lay a fist-sized fruit that looked a bit like a gourd.
According to the information he had learned from Sister Green Fern,
This fruit was the Longevity Fruit!
If consumed by a mortal, he could potentially live for over a hundred years. Truly a treasure.
Immediately, Wang Shouzhe bowed his head and thanked, “Thank you for your gift, Master Changchun.”
“You little scoundrel, you knowingly swindled my Longevity Fruit,” Master Changchun couldn’t help but grumble, “Didn’t you say you were going to stake it all, going for broke and reveal your trump card to win?”
Wang Shouzhe looked at him in surprise: “Master, didn’t I already reveal my trump card, the Bloodthirsty Vines? Wasn’t my sacrifice big enough?”
Looking into his truthful eyes, Master Changchun choked on his words, just barely swallowing a mouthful of old blood.
Was this considered a great sacrifice? It greatly mismatched with the immense sacrifice he had imagined.
This was a Longevity Fruit after all.
Of course, Wang Shouzhe intended to give the fruit to Old Ancestor Longyan. Though she had regained her health, her previous injuries had taken some years off her life.
She was already over a hundred and twenty years old now.
He was worried that her lifespan might run out before she could ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm, which would be very bad.
At that moment,
A cold voice came from within the Mysterious Ice Palace: “Boy, why not sell that Longevity Fruit to me? I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with the price.”
Wang Shouzhe was taken aback.
Master Binglan had tried several times to get the Longevity Fruit, even though it had no use for her.
Could it be…
Suddenly, a possibility came to mind.
…
