Inside the Jade Box lay a fist-sized fruit shaped like a Pan Peach.
Mysterious patterns resembling ten thousand beasts in full stampede grew naturally across its surface. A gentle whiff of its fragrance soothed Ji Yuan's Divine Soul.
A Sacred Beast Fruit!
Ji Yuan had read about it in the Cloud-Rain Sect's ancient texts:
A top-grade Fourth-Tier spirit fruit containing pure demonic essence. It could raise a Demon Beast's cultivation directly, bypassing bottlenecks without any side effects.
It could also strengthen the beast's foundation and purify its bloodline!
A treasure through and through.
It had long since vanished from the Abyssal Depths and Cangluo, and was rarely seen even on the Desolate Ancient Continent. It was priceless—no, the Taiyi Immortal Sect probably had some, but they certainly would not part with them.
Even Ji Yuan, steadfast as he was, could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
This "settling-in gift" was generous beyond imagining!
Of course, only Old Devil Ji himself knew how much of that excitement was genuine.
After all, Immortal Resources were always icing on the cake for him, never charcoal delivered through snow.
The grand elder Zhong Xuantian took in his reaction and smiled as he stroked his beard. "I hear you owed your escape in no small part to a Fourth-Order Thunder Roc. This fruit could help a Demon Beast break through to the Transformation Stage. You would then have another powerful ally at your side—and another measure of protection in these troubled times."
"I... thank you for your generous gift, Grand Elder!" Ji Yuan rose and bowed deeply, his voice sincere.
The gift truly had struck a chord with him.
But there was only one Sacred Beast Fruit.
Should he give it to Long Fei, whose potential was immense but who still needed time before
