I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2492 2491: Heavenly Fire Bead, Is the Mountain Sea World Coming?
Previously on I Truly Am The Villian...
"I heard that the Mountain Sea World has made complete preparations, and they might have prepared a powerful weapon. You guys will find it difficult to compete with them," Zhou Jinmu replied.
"What, you're not planning to go in?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Heavenly treasures belong to those destined for them; perhaps you have a connection with that Supreme Treasure."
"No, no, no," Zhou Jinmu quickly waved his hand.
With a wry smile, he said, "I know my worth, selling some intelligence for a small profit is fine."
"But if one's ambition exceeds their capability, trying to plot for the Supreme Treasure might end up ruining them."
Xu Zimei did regard Zhou Jinmu highly for his self-awareness; it's a rare trait.
Some people, even if they're weak or from small worlds, still want to get involved in these muddy waters.
But Zhou Jinmu was wise enough to protect himself.
"Interesting, but even if you don't go, other people from the Five Elements Star should still go," Xu Zimei said.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about that; I can't block others' paths," Zhou Jinmu shrugged.
Although he is the senior brother of the Five Elements Star.
His status is considered quite high.
But in the journey of cultivation, obstructing someone else's path results in a deep-seated vendetta, absolutely unforgivable.
"Alright, since you haven't deceived me, I'll let you off today," Xu Zimei said.
"Then I'll leave now. I hope you can obtain the Supreme Treasure," Zhou Jinmu smiled, then quickly stepped back.
At this time, Tiger Wing approached Xu Zimei with worry.
"Master, if it's just the Delta World, it's not a big deal."
"If the Mountain Sea World gets involved, it makes me fear whether the Xuantian Mage might show up."
It's normal for Tiger Wing to have concerns or even the desire to retreat at this point.
After all, the Mountain Sea World is a large world.
In this central position, it has a mighty reputation.
Even just its name terrifies others and makes them cautious.
"What are you afraid of? If soldiers come, we block them; if water comes, we cover it. I'm curious to meet that Xuantian Mage," Xu Zimei said.
"If you're scared, you can retreat; I won't say anything about it."
"After all, with me there, the Supreme Treasure inside is definitely mine. But as long as you follow me, I won't fancy other treasures, and you guys can at least taste the broth."
"Master, I'm willing to follow you resolutely," Quan Shan declared from the side.
After all, he's already considered Xu Zimei's subordinate, different from Tiger Wing.
In the future, if Boarhound Star becomes a vassal to the Divine Continent.
Then he wants to see how strong this master really is.
If strong enough, then becoming a vassal to the Boarhound Star is an opportunity.
Tiger Wing's expression was uncertain, and finally, he gritted his teeth.
"Then we'll go together," he said.
After that, the group took another turn in this marketplace.
Xu Zimei wasn't interested in manmade treasures, but he valued cosmic treasures that were naturally nurtured.
Especially Minor Treasures; he was very interested in their restrictions.
So he bought a bunch to take back and study.
Xu Zimei also wanted to purchase Great Treasures, but that kind of thing is priced out of reach, simply unobtainable.
......
Suddenly, Xu Zimei's gaze stopped at a stall.
It was a very ordinary stall.
In front of the stall was an elderly man who looked honest.
The stall wasn't big, and the items for sale were all quite ordinary.
Seeing Xu Zimei stop, attracting business.
The old man quickly smiled and explained, "Dear customer, we sell antiques here. As they say, pearls covered in dust, it's up to you to discover their shining aspect."
"Master, many of these small stalls are fakes," Quan Shan reminded from the side.
"And their forgery skills are high."
"So high that even the original owner of the antique might not distinguish between them."
Before Xu Zimei could respond.
The old man instantly became unhappy.
"Kid, whether you buy or not is your business, are you ruining my business?"
"In the antique trade, it's all about an eye for quality. If you're willing to take the hit, it's not as if the old man is forcing you."
"The old gentleman's words are correct; the servant spoke out of turn," Xu Zimei laughed from the side.
"How much is this?" Xu Zimei casually picked up an oval-shaped bead and asked.
The surface of the bead was incredibly smooth, like a small amber.
Inside was a crimson power.
From the surface alone, the bead was quite charming.
"Not for sale, only for trade," the old man said cheerfully.
"Dear customer, you have a good eye."
"Of all the items on my stall, this Heavenly Fire Bead is the best."
"I acquired it through great hardship from the Heavenly Pit."
"This bead has immense potential."
"Although I don't know its exact use, I honestly believe that it's extraordinary."
"Trade, what do you want to trade for?" Xu Zimei asked.
"One Longevity Fruit," the old man said in a hushed tone, smiling cheerfully.
Quan Shan's face changed drastically.
His right hand slammed onto the stall.
Shouted, "Old man, you're crazy."
"What is a Longevity Fruit, it's not something your worthless item can exchange for?"
The Longevity Fruit grows on the Longevity Tree.
And there's only one Longevity Tree in the entire Cosmic.
Its rarity and scarcity are self-evident.
In Quan Shan's view, this so-called Heavenly Fire Bead doesn't even deserve to carry the Longevity Fruit's shoes.
The Longevity Fruit has two major uses.
One is extending life, the other is immortality.
Life extension is easy to understand; no matter how powerful one is, after eating this fruit, their lifespan will multiply.
A strong person who eats one will gain even more lifespan.
Because the lifespan of a strong person is more than that of an average Cultivator.
Normally, longevity-related items only benefit the weak and are inconsequential to the strong.
But the Longevity Fruit does the opposite, breaking this barrier.
Its effects on the strong are better than on the weak.
Beyond that, its other feature is immortality.
This immortality doesn't mean true eternal life.
It means that once you swallow the Longevity Fruit, within its ten-minute effect activation span, you are immortal.
No matter how strong the attack, it won't kill you.
But this effect lasts only ten minutes.
In life-and-death battles, ten minutes is enough to change the outcome.
So the Longevity Fruit is also known as.
The Undying Fruit.
"Old man, with an unknown item wanting to trade for the Longevity Fruit, do you think it's worth it?"
Quan Shan mocked.
"Don't say we don't have it; even if we did, we wouldn't give it to you."
Upon hearing Quan Shan's words, the old man didn't get angry.
Instead, he looked at Xu Zimei.
Smiled and said, "The value depends on the user."
"Master, since you've taken a fancy to this Heavenly Fire Bead, do you think it's worth it?"
