"You're plotting to get your hands on the Heaven-Rank Wind Condensation Fruit?" I looked at the beautiful young woman before me with interest. Her father spends all day scheming to poach from other households, and his daughter is no better. She's already set her sights on Windspirit City. This is serious.
"What? Are you afraid?" Lingzhao asked provocatively.
"Either way, it's stealing. Eating one fruit shouldn't count as much of a crime. But first, tell me—what's the difference between the Heaven-Rank and Earth-Rank Wind Condensation Fruits?" I asked with a smile.
"That sounds easy enough when you put it that way. Fine, I'll tell you why there's a difference between Heaven and Earth. The Earth-Rank Wind Condensation Fruit can give any immortal a Wind Spirit Root they don't possess. The Heaven-Rank fruit has the same effect, but it has one special characteristic: it's the only Wind Condensation Fruit to have mutated in a thousand years. It's said that once consumed, it grants a mutated spirit root. I already have mutated Thunder and Fire Spirit Roots, so if I consume this mutated Wind Spirit Root as well, I'll have three mutated spirit roots. Do you think that would help me a lot?" Lingzhao countered.
"It's certainly tempting. A mutated spirit root, huh... Then wouldn't Windspirit City treat this thing as a priceless treasure?" I thought. This girl had probably been coveting that fruit for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn't have shown up in Windspirit City earlier.
"What? Scared? If you are, then give up now. I'll go tell my parents that you're the Valley Lord of Fallen Wood Valley! That way, Wuxiu can join our Star Soul Sect. We'll take the ready-made advantage first and worry about the rest later." Lingzhao turned and walked away, clearly intending to expose me
