Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit in Hand

A vast, Black Dense Forest stretched as far as the eye could see. A tremendous explosion emanated from the depths of the forest, shaking the earth and sending shockwaves surging through the air. Countless fallen leaves were propelled high into the sky by the powerful shockwaves, only to be shattered into countless tiny wood chips.

Deep in the dense forest, three enormous Black Spider were attacking Bai Keke. One of the Black Spider lay on the ground with a bloody hole in its head.

The Black Spider's claws were as sharp as scythes, easily severing large black trees. It opened its blood-red maw and spat out a large amount of fine black spider silk, heading straight for Bai Keke.

A thick White Light Screen enveloped Bai Keke's body, while a dim white shield stood in front of her.

A large amount of black spider silk struck the white shield, producing a muffled thud, and the cracks on the surface of the white shield widened.

A Black Spider rushed over, spitting out a foul-smelling black venom that landed on the white shield.

A puff of blue smoke rose from the white shield, and its spiritual light dimmed further.

The Black Spider's two sharp claws struck the white shield one after another, and the white shield shattered into pieces as if it were made of paper.

Three Black Spider let out a noisy hiss and pounced on Bai Keke.

Bai Keke's expression changed slightly, and she was about to use other methods.

A sharp, piercing screech rang in her ears, and Bai Keke immediately felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet. The three Black Spider slowed their reaction.

A whooshing sound rang out, and a swarm of Golden Arrow flew in, striking the three Black Spider one after another, leaving their bodies riddled with holes and bleeding profusely.

A blur flashed by, Shen Long appeared in an instant.

"White Fairy, are you alright!"

Shen Long asked.

"It's alright. This time, I'm only grateful to you, Fellow Daoist Shen. Otherwise, I would have been in grave danger."

Bai Keke expressed her gratitude.

"Fairy Bai, didn't Senior Bai give you a Third Rank Talisman to save your life?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"I gave it to them. I encountered Third-Rank Spirit Beast as soon as I entered the Secret Realm, and I used it."

Bai Keke explained.

"White Fairy, I need your help to pick the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit. After we get the fruit, I can give you one, how about it?"

Shen Long's tone was sincere.

"Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit"

Bai Keke somewhat tempted. After a moment's thought, she asked, "I have a question. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen could answer it?"

"Please speak, Fairy White."

Shen Long said.

"Where are your fellow disciples from the Spirit Control Sect? Haven't you encountered any fellow disciples since entering the Secret Realm? If not fellow disciples, then no cultivators from the Qin Kingdom either? Why do you insist on joining forces with me?"

Bai Keke asked.

"I haven't encountered any fellow disciples, nor do I know where they went. As for other fellow cultivators, I have run into some, but I don't want to contact them. The reason is simple: they are not descendants or disciples of Core Formation Cultivator. I think Fairy Bai should still possess something that can protect her life, making it easier to obtain it through cooperation with you. Of course, you are also easier to manipulate. Is this answer satisfactory, Fairy Bai?"

Shen Long said.

He did encounter other Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but they were either in groups or too weak. Shen Long searched for several days before finally finding Bai Keke.

"I'm easier to control, Fellow Daoist Shen is too frank!"

Bai Keke smiled calmly.

"What does Fairy Bai think?"

Shen Long asked.

"You saved my life, so I can help you with this. But with your strength, you can't get the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit. Do you have Third-Rank Spirit Beast?"

Bai Keke asked.

Shen Long nodded and briefly explained the situation of the two Snow-Eyed Toad.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you want me to lure away the Third-Rank Spirit Beast?"

Bai Keke frowned and said.

"I have a Small Five Elements Array, plus Monster Luring Powder, which can lure them out. I will pick the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit as quickly as possible. I can only give you one. My master sent me into the Secret Realm to pick the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit."

Shen Long said.

"A Small Five Elements Array Formation won't suffice. I have a Tier 3 Enemy-Trapping Talisman that can hold Third-Rank Spirit Beast in place for a while. You can focus on harvesting the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit. You just need to be quick."

Bai Keke said.

"Tier 3 Enemy-Trapping Talisman! That's excellent!"

Shen Long's face lit up with joy.

"Let's not delay, let's get going!"

Bai Keke said.

They collected the Black Spider's corpse and left.

In an underground cave, two Snow-Eyed Toad were perched under a fruit tree that was over two zhang tall. Eight five-colored fruits hung on the tree, and the fruits looked very much like Ganoderma lucidum. They were the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit.

The Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad opened its blood-red maw, and a long pink tongue flew out, wrapping around a Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit and swallowing it.

A peculiar scent wafted into the valley. The second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad smelled this scent and became excited. It pushed off with its hind legs and leaped up, heading towards the outside of the cave.

Upon seeing this, the Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad quickly gave chase.

Once out of the cave, they rushed towards the valley's edge at great speed.

As soon as they left the valley, more than a dozen red Talisman flew over, transforming into a huge Crimson Fireball that crashed towards the second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad.

The Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad let out a noisy screech and spewed out a Blue Soundwave, shattering the incoming Giant Fireball.

In a flash of inspiration, a Five-Colored Light Screen appeared, like a giant five-colored bowl, inverting it inside.

The second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad's eyes flashed with a blinding white light, each shooting out a beam of white light that struck the Five-Colored Light Screen. The Five-Colored Light Screen instantly froze, and the ice layer rapidly spread.

The Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad emitted a Blue Soundwave that struck the five -Five-Colored Light Screen Five-Colored Light Screen, causing its spiritual light to dim.

It leaped up and landed next to the Five-Colored Light Screen Five-Colored Light Screen, slamming its front paws down on it.

With a loud bang, the Five-Colored Light Screen shook, and the spiritual light dimmed even further.

It unleashed another Blue Soundwave, striking the Five-Colored Light Screen Five-Colored Light Screen became faintly visible. Its front paws slammed into the Five-Colored Light Screen, and the Five-Colored Light Screen, unable to withstand the pressure, shattered like a bubble.

More than a dozen thick, Cyan Vine emerged from the ground and entangled the second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad.

Each of its eyes shot out a beam of white light, striking the Cyan Vine. The Cyan Vine froze, and with a twist of its massive body, the Cyan Vine shattered.

A gigantic Yellow Giant Ape charged over; upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be an ethereal form, not a physical entity.

A thick, long pink tongue shot out and pierced the chest of the Yellow Giant Ape. It let out a mournful howl and transformed into Talisman that shimmered with yellow light—a Beast Soul Talisman.

The yellow Talisman combusted and burned to ashes.

Just as the Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad was about to continue casting its spell, a yellow light shone above its head, and a shimmering yellow Talisman appeared.

With a muffled thud, the yellow Talisman exploded, transforming into more than a dozen thick yellow chains that bound its body.

The Snow-Eyed Toad twisted its body, pulling on the yellow chain and making a rattling sound.

The second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad tried to help, but it was of little use.

Deep underground, Bai Keke held a shimmering golden bead in her hand.

"Fortunately, the Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad didn't mutate, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with."

Bai Keke said with a hint of relief.

The Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit can increase the chances of mutation for Spirit Beast Spirit Insect below the fourth rank, but it does not mean that consuming the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit will definitely result in mutation.

Of the two Snow-Eyed Toad, it's already quite good that one mutated.

If the second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad hadn't mutated, the treasure hunters from the Spirit Control Sect would have destroyed the Snow-Eyed Toad and taken all the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit during their first exploration of the Secret Realm.

Time passed slowly, Snow-Eyed Toad continued to struggle, causing thick, long cracks to appear on the surface of the yellow chains.

A short while later, it broke all the yellow chains and returned to the cave with its mate; the seven Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit had vanished without a trace.

Unable to find the culprit, the Snow-Eyed Toad could only accept its bad luck.

In a secluded cave a hundred miles away, Shen Long was talking to Bai Keke.

"White Fairy, this is the Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Fruit that was promised to you."

Shen Long took out a Golden Jade Box and handed it to Bai Keke.

Bai Keke nodded, didn't check, and directly put it into her Storage Bag, showing that she trusted Shen Long a lot.

"Luckily, the Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad didn't mutate, otherwise we wouldn't have succeeded so easily."

Bai Keke said with a hint of relief.

"That's one way to put it, but we didn't kill the second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad. If we had, the Third Rank Snow-Eyed Toad would have escaped much faster."

Shen Long said.

Some Demon Beast value their mates highly, Shen Long exploited this weakness by attacking the second-tier Snow-Eyed Toad, creating an opportunity for Bai Keke.

Bai Keke nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what are your plans next? Shall we continue our treasure hunt?"

"No, I'm used to being alone, Fairy White, farewell."

After saying this, Shen Long's feet lit up with a blue light, and he left.

Bai Keke breathed a sigh of relief; she had really been worried that Shen Long would kill her to cover it up.
