Immortal Spirit Fruits, Jade Pool Disciples

Without a second thought, Qin Hao immediately used his Different Space to hide inside, thus escaping Different-Dimensional Space.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was actually a zombie.

The zombies were covered in maggots, swarming everywhere.

And it wasn't just one zombie; there were countless zombies below.

"Holy crap, all the zombies in this basement have come out and are wandering around the city?"

Qin Hao was very puzzled. The last time he came here was during the annual distribution of Spirit Bead in the Horror Swamp, so all the zombies were in the basement at that time.

Combined with what the survivor from Meifulia said—that there were zombies and vampires here, making it extremely terrifying—this further reinforces the point.

Qin Hao believed that the survivor must have arrived outside of the Spirit Bead distribution event, just like himself today.

So here's the question: why are the gates of Penglai Immortal City closed during the season when Spirit Bead are distributed, and why are there seemingly protective barriers to prevent outside monsters from entering?

But once I regained my original appearance, I could enter the city, only to find it filled with zombies.

All of this is too contradictory, too bizarre.

Qin Hao knew about the passageway leading to the basement from these zombies; it connected directly to the outside and had no traps.

"Now that the zombies have come out, there shouldn't be any more zombies in that passage, haha!"

Thinking it over, Qin Hao maintained his state in the Different Space and headed towards the passage.

However, Qin Hao was dumbfounded when he arrived at the passage.

The entrance to the passage was blocked by a group of zombies, who were pieced together one after another to form a door.

Fortunately, Qin Hao had stumbled upon a room in Life Simulation that contained a mechanism leading to the basement.

So they rushed towards that room and found it inside.

Everything here is normal as usual; it's just an ordinary room.

Just to be on the safe side, Qin Hao first turned on the Life Simulator.

[Ding: Do you wish to spend 100,000 Great Dao Crystals for Life Simulation?]

"Yes!"

[Ding: 100,000 Great Dao Crystals deducted. Entering the Life Simulator...]

[Ding: Life Simulation begins. Simulation ends upon host's death.]

After entering the Life Simulation, Qin Hao activated the mechanism and went inside.

As before, we walked for a long time before arriving at a grand hall.

The Three Pure Ones are enshrined in the main hall.

There was nothing particularly special about these things, except that Qin Hao noticed several fruits on the altar where the Three Pure Ones were worshipped.

That's not all; there was fresh incense burning in the incense burner, and the entire hall looked as if it had been cleaned.

Qin Hao remembered that when he last came here, there was nothing here, just a dilapidated mess.

Upon seeing this, Qin Hao immediately used his Dark-Type Superpower to hide in the shadows.

It's always better to be cautious; this is the lesson the Life Simulation taught Qin Hao.

Without the system's Life Simulation function, Qin Hao would have died countless times.

Arriving at the offering table, Qin Hao carefully examined the nine fruits on it.

There are three types of fruit in total, with two of each type.

There was a round, purple fruit with a skin similar to a kiwi, but Qin Hao didn't think it was a kiwi because kiwis don't come in this color, and they're not this big either.

There was another type that was cylindrical in shape and entirely golden. At first glance, it looked like a cylindrical piece of gold, but Qin Hao looked closely and realized that it was not gold, but a fruit.

Another more common type is a peach, but larger than a regular peach, like an enlarged version of a juicy peach. It's entirely pink and looks very tempting, making you want to take a bite.

Qin Hao used the system scan function to scan, and the results showed:

[Miro Fruit]

[Description: A type of Immortal Spirit Fruit, round in shape and entirely purple. Eating one can enhance one's physique, directly entering the Miro Realm, granting immense strength, and allowing one to refine Immortal Spirit Fruit with their own body.]

[Golden Soul Fruit]

[Description: A kind of Immortal Spirit Fruit, cylindrical in shape, golden in color. Eating one can enhance one's spirit, that is, strengthen one 'Mental Power, reaching the Mustard Seed Realm.]

[Pantao]

[Description: A kind of Immortal Spirit Fruit, shaped like a peach, pink all over. Eating one can enhance one's Spiritual Power, equivalent to the result of a thousand years of arduous cultivation.]

Qin Hao was overjoyed as he looked at the introductions, thinking he had struck gold.

He was so happy that he overlooked one problem.

So who put these Immortal Spirit Fruits here, and why are there nine of them?

With a smug look on his face, he instantly stored the nine fruits in his spatial storage and then headed towards the Spirit Bead Vein in the treasure vault.

Upon arriving at another grand hall filled with alchemy furnaces, Qin Hao was dumbfounded.

At this moment, two beautiful women were refining pills in the main hall. As soon as Qin Hao appeared, the two women, dressed in modern short skirts, turned to look at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao instantly used his Space-Type Ability to hide in Different-Dimensional Space, thus escaping the beauty's detection.

However, the two beautiful women suddenly closed their eyes, as if they were sensing something.

Just then, a beautiful woman cried out, "Oh no! The Immortal Spirit Fruit is gone!"

The other beautiful woman immediately noticed something and waved her hand towards Qin Hao's corner, knocking Qin Hao out of the Different-Dimensional Space.

To be honest, this was the first time Qin Hao had encountered someone who could pull him out of the Different-Dimensional Space.

"Hmph, you thief, how dare you steal the tribute fruits from the three Dao Ancestors?"

With that, he waved his hand at Qin Hao again, and Qin Hao was arrested.

Qin Hao was terrified.

The two beauties in front of me are probably even stronger than Martial Sect Martial Venerable.

But after scanning with the system, Qin Hao was stunned to find that the two were only at the Martial Marquis Realm.

The two beauties were also surprised after examining Qin Hao.

"How do you know so many laws, and all of them are of the highest quality?"

The two beautiful women asked in surprise at the same time.

Qin Hao was about to speak when one of the beauties said, "To tell you the truth, we are from Jade Pool. Considering your exceptional talent, if you agree to join Jade Pool, we can overlook your theft of the Immortal Spirit Fruit."

Upon hearing the words "Jade Pool," Qin Hao was immediately stunned. He thought to himself, "Isn't this place dedicated to the Three Pure Ones? What does it have to do with the Jade Pool?"

"Jade Pool, are you fairies under the Queen Mother West?"

Qin Hao asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, the two beauties immediately said, "You mean the Queen Mother of the West? She's the founder of our Jade Pool, and she's already ascended to the Upper Realm."

"What does 'Upper Realm' refer to? The Immortal Realm?"

"You could also say that, in your modern terms, that they ascended to a higher level of the universe."

"You even know about the universe?"

Qin Hao asked in surprise, "You guys aren't actually modern people, and you're just making up this story on purpose, are you?!"

The two beautiful women laughed and said, "That's right, we are modern people, but we are indeed disciples of Jade Pool."
