Chapter 40: Earth Spirit Fruit (Seeking Recommendations and Collections)

"Many people want to be my follower, but I don't need one right now!"

Mu Yuan's voice remained cold.

Liu Wan'er could tell what he meant by that.

He didn't need a follower, which meant she was going to die.

"Kid, stop immediately!"

"Our young lady is the little princess of the Liu family from the Mercenary Realm. If you dare to lay a hand on her, you'd better think about the consequences!"

Zhao Hu quickly revealed Liu Wan'er's identity.

If Liu Wan'er met with an accident, the Liu family's wrath would cause rivers of blood to flow throughout the entire Mercenary Realm.

"Mercenary Realm?"

Mu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He had already guessed that Liu Wan'er wasn't from the Northern Spiritual Territory, but he hadn't expected her to be from the Mercenary Realm.

The Hundred Spirits Heaven was the vast land outside the Northern Spiritual Territory. Within this Hundred Spirits Heaven, there were over a dozen territories, large and small, and the Northern Spiritual Territory was merely one of the weaker ones.

In comparison, the Mercenary Realm's strength ranked among the top.

The headquarters of the Mercenary Guild was located in the Mercenary Realm. While the Northern Spiritual Territory was controlled by nine Domain Lords, the Mercenary Realm was controlled by several major mercenary families of the Mercenary Guild.

It gathered almost all the mercenary groups in the Hundred Spirits Heaven and even had experts from the Three Heavens Realm stationed there.

Experts at the level of the Three Heavens Realm could be considered true top-tier powerhouses even within the Hundred Spirits Heaven!

The Liu family was one of the major families of the Mercenary Guild.

"Do you really think I'm an idiot? If your young lady dies in the Northern Spiritual Plains, who would know I did it?"

Mu Yuan's expression was very calm.

He wasn't scared into submission.

Having read nine hundred and ninety-nine novels, such petty tricks were too elementary for him.

Threaten him?

Was he afraid?

Liu Wan'er's heart pounded with fear upon hearing this, and she quickly said:

"I can tell you a huge piece of news! The secret behind why the White Spirit Ape King appeared on the outskirts of the Northern Spiritual Plains!"

The mid-level spirit beast did not appear on the outskirts of the Northern Spiritual Plains without reason.

Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he gently shook his head:

"Your life is in my hands, don't try any tricks."

Liu Wan'er immediately said:

"I can be your follower! And I'll give you a chance to participate in the competition for the Earth Spirit Fruit."

The Earth Spirit Fruit was a heavenly treasure even rarer than the Jade Spirit Fruit, filled with gentle spiritual energy that was highly beneficial to cultivators below the Divine Spirit Realm.

If he wasn't mistaken, Mu Chen was currently cooperating with the Violent Thunder team to compete for the Jade Spirit Fruit.

At this moment.

The atmosphere was tense.

Liu Wan'er's eyes contracted to the extreme, and her heart twitched.

She even hesitated to look at Mu Yuan!

She had always been proud, but at this moment, she felt that Mu Yuan was an insurmountable, towering mountain!

To condense the fourth, or even the fifth, Dragon Elephant phantom, his spiritual energy was insufficient; external aids were necessary.

This Earth Spirit Fruit could indeed solve his urgent need.

As Mu Yuan pondered, Liu Wan'er felt that Mu Yuan was completely ignoring her, which made her even more worried.

"The valley where the Earth Spirit Tree grows is protected by a restriction. Even if you reach it, you won't be able to get close. Only by carrying the Earth Spirit Token can you enter that restriction."

Liu Wan'er's voice trembled slightly, filled with anxiety and worry.

At this moment, the dark-sheathed long sword in Mu Yuan's hand suddenly slashed down.

The sword light flashed.

Liu Wan'er wanted to dodge but had no opportunity.

Then, it sliced down directly from her head.

At that moment, Liu Wan'er even felt a sense of death.

Subsequently, Liu Wan'er's veil was directly split in two and fell to the ground.

Liu Wan'er's appearance was also revealed to Mu Yuan's eyes.

She was indeed not bad-looking, only a tiny bit less so than Tang Qian'er.

"If you're going to be my follower, you can't wear a veil."

Mu Yuan's words nearly made Liu Wan'er spit blood.

She knew she was weaker than Mu Yuan, but she was confident in her appearance.

Who would have thought that after Mu Yuan looked, he wouldn't even be stunned for a moment.

It was a huge blow to her self-confidence!

Is this man poisonous or what!

However, Liu Wan'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the killing intent that had been enveloping her had disappeared.

This meant that Mu Yuan was letting her go.

Immediately, Liu Wan'er explained the matter of the Earth Spirit Fruit.

It was rather ironic, actually.

There was a place called Earth Spirit Valley in the Northern Spiritual Plains, but unfortunately, it was discovered by powerhouses from the Eastern Spiritual Territory and the Western Spiritual Territory.

After deliberation among the powerhouses from the Eastern and Western Spiritual Territories, to avoid a major conflict and to prevent attracting the attention of powerhouses from the Northern Spiritual Territory, which would lead to more competitors.

The powerhouses of the Three Heavens Realm from the Eastern and Western Spiritual Territories joined forces to set up a prohibition around Earth Spirit Valley that even Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses couldn't break, and then left it entirely to the younger generation to compete for.

The key to entering Earth Spirit Valley was the Earth Spirit Token.

At the same time, they strictly forbade any news from spreading, and anyone who interfered would be jointly punished!

It was definitely a good thing that no elder generation would interfere!

"Aren't you from the Mercenary Realm?"

Mu Yuan asked with some curiosity.

Seeing Mu Yuan's confused expression, Liu Wan'er finally showed a hint of a smile.

"The strength of our Mercenary Realm is not inferior to that of the Eastern Spiritual Territory and the Western Spiritual Territory. Moreover, we can mobilize all the mercenaries in the Hundred Spirits Heaven. If we want to get a share of the pie, the Eastern and Western Spiritual Territories still have to agree."

Liu Wan'er was clearly very proud and confident of her Mercenary Realm.

Mu Yuan wasn't very interested in the Mercenary Realm at the moment; his greatest interest was the Earth Spirit Fruit.

"When can we go to pick the Earth Spirit Fruit?"

Mu Yuan asked.

Liu Wan'er's previously happy face immediately pouted again.

"The Earth Spirit Fruit will only mature tomorrow."

If I hadn't snuck out, I wouldn't have run into this guy.

"However, picking it will definitely involve some fighting, and then we'll have to divide the Earth Spirit Fruit!"

"One Earth Spirit Tree only bears ten Earth Spirit Fruits. If we can get one Earth Spirit Fruit, that would be enough. If we work together, we can at least get one, and can you give me half of it?"

Liu Wan'er's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Mu Yuan nodded.

"Okay, give me the Earth Spirit Token."

If it weren't for Liu Wan'er, he really wouldn't have been qualified to compete for the Earth Spirit Fruit.

A few days before the prohibition of Earth Spirit Valley was opened, elder generation powerhouses would come to clear the area.

Clearing the area naturally meant getting rid of the spirit beasts near Earth Spirit Valley.

The White Spirit Ape King was one of the stragglers from that time.

Moreover, with elder generation powerhouses present, other followers would not be able to get close, nor would they be qualified to compete for the Earth Spirit Fruit.

The Earth Spirit Token was a bronze-colored token. Mu Yuan placed the Earth Spirit Token in his embrace and said:

"We'll meet here tomorrow."

After saying that, he prepared to turn and leave.

He wasn't afraid that Liu Wan'er would stand him up.

Because, relying on her alone, she wouldn't be able to snatch the Earth Spirit Fruit.

"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet?"

"Mu Yuan!"

Only after Mu Yuan's figure disappeared from Liu Wan'er's sight did Zhao Hu cautiously ask:

"Miss, are we really going to wait for him here tomorrow?"

"Why else? Rely on you? I heard that the people competing for the Earth Spirit Fruit this time are all the top five prodigies from the Eastern Spiritual Territory and the Western Spiritual Territory."

Liu Wan'er rolled her eyes and then said helplessly:

"Without the Earth Spirit Fruit, I can't break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm. What will Father do then?"

"Besides, I already gave him the Earth Spirit Token. Without it, he can't get in at all. He was counting on that, which is why he left with peace of mind."

It could be said that Mu Yuan had her completely figured out.
