The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 730 A Wasted Effort to Be a Petty Person (2nd Update)
Although they found it absurd, both Long Ling and Xuan Chu felt that if this were the case, it might actually make sense.

Those people had already discovered the secret of Mount Wuhuang long ago, and had even coveted the Heavenly Book for a long time.

Neither the dragon vein nor the celestial book are benevolent entities; they protect each other, and the combined effect is clearly greater than the sum of its parts.

So, hundreds of years have passed, and those people can only watch helplessly.

The only option is to use various methods to accelerate the depletion of the dragon vein.

Rong Gu obtained a portion of the inheritance regarding the forbidden book, and perhaps even more, and thus found her way here.

She relied on her own talent and the skills she had acquired through years of practice.

She actually found a way to extract one of the dragon spirits, which was already on the verge of death.

At that time, the Azure Dragon's strength was probably less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

Therefore, Rong Gu was able to so easily seal and subdue the Azure Dragon, making it her own.

It was precisely because the Azure Dragon's strength was greatly reduced that Long Ling and Yun Ran were able to easily kill and devour a true dragon vein spirit using the Panlong Formation.

Goodness, now everything really makes sense.

As the dragon spirit who had devoured the Azure Dragon, he couldn't help but swallow hard. It wasn't his fault; it was all just a series of unfortunate coincidences.

Wan Qiyu's gaze, however, fell on the ginseng fruit.

He believed that some people were truly gifted, even at a young age, possessing almost supernatural intelligence.

But just now, when they were all caught up in a tangled mess of worries, why was the ginseng fruit able to so easily strike at the heart of the matter?

It's as if these things, which are top secret, are just common knowledge to ginseng fruit.

"Why do you know this?"

If he were just an insignificant member of the team today, he wouldn't say anything to avoid being accused of sowing discord.

Ke Yunran is his adopted sister, and also the adopted sister he feels he owes a great deal to.

Previously, neither he nor his godfather could easily show their faces, and they were unable to intervene in many matters.

Things are different now. He's going to be the annoying guy, the one who offends people, while Yun Ran can stay clean and untainted.

He couldn't really explain the benefits of ginseng fruit; he just felt he should have known about it.

It's like some knowledge that you never used before, so it's just sitting in a corner of your brain. But when you need it one day, it just pops up on its own.

Renshenguo hesitated for a moment, and was about to tell the truth when Yunran interrupted him.

"What's the point of asking? As a member of the Xuanmen sect, what strange and unusual things haven't we seen? It's just a logical deduction. Whether it's true or not, we'll have to carefully verify it later."

Yunran knew why Wanqiyu was suspicious, but she was too protective of her own.

Even if there's something wrong with the ginseng fruit, that's her business; she would never publicly execute the ginseng fruit.

"Alright, the clues we've found so far are enough to give us a headache for a long time."

It's getting late. Since we're already here, it would be a waste if we didn't climb to the top to see the sunrise.

In Yunran's opinion, if they didn't see the sunrise today, then the ticket money would be wasted.

Long Ling and Xuan Chu knew how much Yun Ran doted on his little disciple, Renshenguo, but to say they trusted him was a bit superficial.

Just look at the treasures Yun Ran gave him, and the power she handed over to him.

Xuan Chu vaguely felt that Yun Ran was cultivating Ginseng Fruit as the successor of Qingfeng Temple and had gone to great lengths to support him.

Long Ling looked at Wan Qiyu, who had acted like a villain, and patted him on the shoulder. He could understand Wan Qiyu's original intention, but what could he do when his heart was also biased?

"Be less suspicious of ginseng fruit in the future."

Wan Qiyu wasn't easily offended, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

The group quickly returned to the climbing steps they had climbed via the side path.

Yunran glanced at her watch. She estimated that the sun would rise in three hours, and they had only climbed a third of the way.

In the time to go, they need to speed things up.

This could be devastating news for others, or even an incredibly cruel thing.

However, for Xuan Chu and the others, who were already physically strong, doubling their speed was not a difficult task.

In the time that followed, they no longer needed to investigate anything, nor were they swept up by the throngs of people crowding forward.

They looked like they were really there to climb the mountain.

Along the way, they met all sorts of people: couples, families, and friends, each with a variety of vivid expressions on their faces.

When you've climbed more than halfway up the mountain, there's a very large open-air platform that houses not only a hotel but also many recreational areas.

Yunran even saw her fellow fortune tellers; the iron chains surrounding the platform were covered with love locks or red ribbons with wishes.

Seeing all this, the fog that Yunran had felt was somewhat familiar was finally cleared up.

Isn't everything here similar to what she experienced when she went to practice divination with her senior master?

She was transported to this world because of that time when she was there to stand in for her senior master and watch the excitement, and then she was pushed off a cliff.

However, when she fell, Yunran didn't think she would die, but she knew she would be injured, so she didn't panic.

Who would have thought that the ginseng fruit, a magical artifact, would drag them into this world?

Yun Ran turned to look at the ginseng fruit: "Why did you think I would die back then?"

Ginseng Fruit lowered its head, nervously twirling its fingers. It could say that when the data was detected, the host did not exhibit any self-rescue behavior whatsoever.

That's how it seemed, as if it were accepting its own death with peace of mind.

He's just a system that relies on data analysis. Didn't he only act because he judged from the data that the host was doomed?

Sigh, if he had known earlier, the host would never have died, and he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to drag the host into this world.

"Host, I really didn't mean to. You were like a pancake spreading out, unlike the other people who panicked when they fell off the cliff..."

Yunran sighed and rubbed her forehead; this blunder was truly bizarre.

Long Ling was dragging Xuan Chu to the Ruyi Temple in front to buy red silk for their wishes.

Wan Qiyu also went to queue up to buy food and drinks, while Yun Ran took out the magical artifact that had been possessed by the ginseng fruit.

The magical artifact, which had long lost its luster, suddenly regained its shine.

"Put it away."

The ginseng fruit was somewhat puzzled, but it still obediently put the magical artifact away.

"Host, no matter what happens, I will always be on your side."

"That's a must. If you dare to betray me, I'll take back the Heavenly Thunder Pearl!"

The thought that if Ginseng Fruit lost his body, he would lose 99% of his enjoyment, immediately sent a shiver down his spine.
