Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1051 - 511: Unifying the Southern Continent, Primordial Talisman Sect Expansion

Boom!

Abruptly, a rich fragrance began to diffuse from the nine fully matured fruits.

This potent aroma surged through the void, blanketing a territory spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

For all intents and purposes, every living entity within that vast radius, anchored by Primordial Peak, could catch the scent.

Should a mere mortal inhale even a trace, they would find themselves cured of all sickness and granted significantly extended lifespans.

For any cultivator, the fragrance acted as a catalyst, clearing mental fog, shattering bottlenecks, and potentially sparking deep enlightenment.

And indeed, this proved to be the case.

Disciples stationed around Primordial Peak found themselves entering a profound state of meditative insight one by one.

Vast reserves of knowledge, previously impenetrable, were suddenly mastered in that fleeting moment.

A flurry of breakthroughs and realizations ignited within their minds.

Even more spectacular, the nearby medicinal gardens witnessed a surge of spirit medicines maturing at an unnatural pace.

It seemed as though centuries of developmental time had been compressed into a blink.

Flowers, weeds, and towering trees alike experienced a miraculous growth spurt, stretching upward with vigorous vitality.

Everything became lush, thriving, and bursting with raw, concentrated life.

Under normal circumstances, such an event in the wild would have triggered a frenzied stampede of demon beasts.

However, since this was the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm, under the jurisdiction of the Primordial Talisman Sect, no such chaotic riot ensued.

"Human, hand over a Profound Yellow Fruit."

Unable to contain its desire any longer, Little Kunpeng Ming darted out from the concealment of the void.

Its gaze was fixed upon the ripening Profound Yellow Fruit with undisguised hunger.

Although a True Spirit is destined for the Mahayana realm or even Immortality regardless of its diet, the natural maturation process is agonizingly slow—often requiring tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Consuming rare spirit medicines serves to drastically accelerate this growth.

Honestly, it lacked the patience to wait for such an eternal, natural maturation.

Its foes would never grant it the luxury of such a long period to evolve, after all.

Therefore, it hungered for these rare treasures to fast-track its development.

Without question, the Profound Yellow Fruit stands as a premier spirit medicine in this mortal realm.

Even back in the Ancient Era, the ripening of such a fruit would have compelled many True Spirits to fight to the death.

Initially, it had hoped to pilfer a fruit through stealth.

Yet, recalling the many inexplicable and terrifying methods employed by this human, it felt a tremor of genuine fear.

Consequently, it opted to reveal itself instead.

Provided it could acquire a Profound Yellow Fruit, enduring a minor loss of face was a small price to pay.

"You want one? It is not entirely out of the question."

"However, you must adhere to the law of equivalent exchange."

"Do you possess any treasure worth trading for this Profound Yellow Fruit?"

Jiang Fan offered a faint smile as he observed the sudden arrival of the Little Kunpeng.

Naturally, he had been aware of its presence all along.

Through their binding contract, he held a unique insight into the creature, allowing him to track its location at any time.

The appearance of the Little Kunpeng caused him no surprise whatsoever.

Given that the Profound Yellow Fruit is such a peak spirit fruit, it offers monstrous benefits even to a being of its caliber.

A Kunpeng in its growth phase could hardly be expected to resist a temptation of this magnitude.

"No."

Little Kunpeng Ming replied with a sigh of resignation.

While it had commanded vast riches during the Ancient Era, hundreds of millions of years had passed, leaving it the most impoverished Kunpeng in existence.

Even recent expeditions to uncover hidden caches had yielded nothing that could hold a candle to the value of this fruit.

Thus, a fair trade was quite literally impossible.

"I am well aware that you have few treasures left to your name."

"However, I have a condition; if you agree to it, the Profound Yellow Fruit is yours."

Jiang Fan stated flatly.

"What condition?"

Little Kunpeng Ming inquired immediately.

"Protect the Primordial Talisman Sect for the next five hundred years."

"Ensure that the Sect never encounters an existential catastrophe."

Jiang Fan laid out his terms clearly.

He knew that Little Kunpeng Ming was already a powerful existence at the Refining Void level.

With the boost from the Profound Yellow Fruit, its cultivation depth would surely skyrocket.

Though he was personally capable of shielding the Primordial Talisman Sect, there would inevitably be times when he had to venture away from home.

Those would be the moments when he would rely on Little Kunpeng Ming to act as his proxy.

As a young True Spirit, it still possessed immense power within the Void Realm, making it more than capable of guaranteeing the Sect's security.

"Very well, I consent."

Little Kunpeng Ming accepted immediately, a wave of inner joy washing over it.

To its mind, the request was laughably simple.

Since it intended to pursue its cultivation within the borders of the Primordial Talisman Sect anyway, safeguarding the territory was essentially an act of protecting its own home.

Furthermore, the Sect was powerful enough that it was unlikely to face any legitimate threats.

Above all, five hundred years was a mere blink of an eye for its kind.

Securing a Profound Yellow Fruit for such a trivial promise was clearly a massive windfall.

"Excellent."

Jiang Fan nodded, flicking a single Profound Yellow Fruit toward the creature.

Without a sound, Little Kunpeng Ming swallowed the fruit whole and retreated to its lair.

The fruit held a gargantuan amount of energy, and it would require a significant duration of seclusion to digest it completely.

Whoosh!

Jiang Fan then retreated into his own Quiet Chamber.

He carefully stored the remaining eight fruits but kept one, placing it directly into the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron.

Boom!

Instantly, the cauldron roared to life, beginning the process of refining the fruit to distill its essence while expelling any impurities.

Drops of a sparkling, mysterious liquid began to manifest within the vessel.

Each individual drop pulsed with a truly vast and terrifying amount of energy.
