"Ah! So that was all this treasure amounted to?" After hearing Li Xiaoya's explanation, Old Dragon Head looked thoroughly disappointed.
"Hm?" Everyone exchanged glances at his words. They thought Old Dragon Head had turned his nose up at the fruit. Still, he had the body of a Demon Beast, so perhaps he was different from humans! After all, Demon Beasts seemed to grow stronger the older they became!
But!
"Let me try!" A flash of red light crossed Old Dragon Head's eyes, and he pointed at the shoulder of the beautiful female statue beside him, which looked carved from fine mutton-fat jade!
Whoosh! Spiritual light flickered over the statue as it rapidly shrank into a tiny fruit the size of a grain of rice. He opened his mouth and sucked it straight into his enormous maw!
Li Xiaoya could not help crying out, "Hey! You can't eat that...!"
"Hey! Why bother with him? That old fellow has a thick hide!" Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning said coldly from beside him. Without wasting any more time, he quickly began harvesting the fruits himself. While Li Xiaoya had been talking, High Person Qianshan had already picked several Goddess Immortal Fruits!
Just then!
Pfft! Old Dragon Head's eyes suddenly widened. Red light flashed over his entire body, his muscles writhed, and waves of heat billowed from him. He laughed heartily. "Not bad! Good stuff!" With that, he began harvesting too!
As Li Xiaoya harvested the Goddess Immortal Fruits, he kept an eye on Old Dragon Head's movements and could not help being astonished. Before human cultivators could consume these fruits, they had to refine and prepare them to neutralize their violent power. Yet Old Dragon Head had forcibly suppressed that power with nothing but the immensely powerful physique of a dragon-type Demon Beast.
