I picked up the scattered attributes

Yao Wenhua's brow twitched erratically.

In just a few words, Feng Xia had revealed almost every detail of Guanglingxuan's predicament!

"As far as I know, there are three kinds of treasures with this effect: Hun Tian Fruit, Bi Xia Immortal Mushroom, and Huang Shen Pill. The Huang Shen Pill has an extremely short effective period and takes an extremely long time to refine, so it can be ruled out first."

"The effects of the Hun Tian Fruit and the Bi Xia Immortal Mushroom are similar. The Hun Tian Fruit can also strengthen the physical body. If one cultivates a body-strengthening technique, one should be able to achieve a significant improvement."

"The Jade Cloud Immortal Mushroom can refine magical power and also has some beauty effects, though not very significant, at most it's better than nothing."

Under Yao Wenhua's blank stare, Feng Xia leisurely recounted the effects of the three treasures one by one, as if reciting a familiar story.

He opened his mouth, trying to say something.

But all the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down by Feng Xia's next sentence—

"I've tried the last two."

"...???"

At this moment, Yao Wenhua's expression was not one of shock, but rather one of utter confusion and bewilderment.

What have you eaten?

Which ones have you eaten?

"The texture of the Hun Tian Guo was really bad, and it was sour. The Bi Xia Xian Zhi didn't have much flavor, so I ended up cooking it up and eating it."

"??" Yao Wenhua remained completely bewildered.

what what?

What on earth is this guy saying?!

After a silence lasting more than ten breaths, Yao Wenhua's eyelids twitched wildly, finally snapping him out of his daze and making him suddenly understand what Feng Xia had said:

"Your Excellency, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? That's the Hun Tian Fruit! If a demigod consumes a complete Hun Tian Fruit, he can instantly step into the divine realm..."

Yao Wenhua's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he quickly covered his mouth.

He realized that he had spoken out of turn despite his shock.

"So it's the Hun Tian Fruit."

Feng Xia smacked his lips, his face twisting slightly: "I advise the one of you who needs to extend their lifespan to make adequate preparations before taking it, otherwise that sour taste... tsk tsk, you might not even be able to ascend to godhood before being killed by the sourness of the Hun Tian Fruit."

Clearly, those three words reminded him of some unpleasant memories.

“Ah? Oh oh oh oh…”

Having received Feng Xia's instructions, Yao Wenhua responded blankly, then suddenly came to his senses: "Wait, did you just say that you've eaten the Hun Tian Fruit and the Bi Xia Immortal Mushroom? Doesn't that mean..."

The way he looked at Feng Xia had completely changed.

Both of these rare and precious materials are extremely rare. After a demigod consumes them, even if he is only at the early stage of demigodhood, he is almost destined to become a true god!

Since Feng Xia has taken both, doesn't that mean he has reached a true level of mastery...?

"Oh, I still haven't become a god after eating."

As if seeing through Yao Wenhua's thoughts, Feng Xia waved his hand and laughed, "According to my own rough estimate, if I want to become a god by eating, I need more than two hundred Hun Tian Fruits and more than three hundred Bixia Immortal Mushrooms."

"So, you don't need to worry that I'm coveting your Hun Tian Fruit. After all, even if you gave it to me... I'd still think it's useless and so sour it'd make my teeth fall out."

Yao Wenhua was completely stunned when he saw Feng Xia fumble around and pull out the pit of a Hun Tian Fruit from his pocket.

who am I?

where am I?

Am I still dreaming?

“I can help you through this difficult time, but in return, I need you to gather all the necessary intelligence for me within the Southern Star Region.”

It was at this moment that Feng Xia slowly smiled and said, "It's all the intelligence."

"Fellow Daoist...what do you think?"

……

Chapter 0801

"That's...that's all?"

Faced with Feng Xia's request, Yao Wenhua stared blankly, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

He had seen the Hun Tian Fruit once before, so he could not possibly mistake the fruit pit in Feng Xia's hand. It was gray and ancient, with not a single wrinkle on its surface. At first glance, it looked just like an ancient treasure!

Even if Feng Xia only had one Hun Tian Guo seed and didn't actually consume the Hun Tian Guo, it was enough to prove that his origins were incredibly astonishing.

After all that, this is the only request they made?

Many forces can gather intelligence, so why bother with Guanglingxuan!

"That's all for now. Of course, if you feel it's not enough, I can add more. After all, the more the merrier when it comes to these things."

Feng Xia leaned back in his chair, a leisurely smile on his face.

Yao Wenhua nodded at first, but still seemed somewhat incredulous. He paused slightly, then said in a hoarse voice, "But why did you choose Guangling Pavilion? This is really... a little..."

"You think I have some ill intentions, don't you?"

When Feng Xia glanced over, Yao Wenhua was immediately speechless, his square old face turning bright red.

However, what Feng Xia said at this moment was indeed what he was thinking.

If Feng Xia were truly so powerful, why would he need to cooperate with Guanglingxuan? The top ten sects among the Hundred Sects would likely treat him as an honored guest!

"the reason is simple."

Feng Xia didn't seem angry. He paused for a moment and then continued, "Because at the beginning, I was just a passerby who was going to eat, and I didn't intend to choose Guanglingxuan."

Yao Wenhua: "..."

He wanted to say something more, but found himself speechless!

Sometimes, the truth hurts more than a lie.

"So, if it weren't for Qiaoman's good deeds, you wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with Guanglingxuan in the first place?"

"In the end, Guanglingxuan is just a chain restaurant. If I only wanted to gather intelligence, why would I need to cooperate with you?" Feng Xia's eyebrows curved slightly as she smiled.

"..."

Yao Wenhua, completely sunk.

He was so worried for so long, only to find out in the end that Feng Xia was just randomly chosen?!

"Alright, if you're willing to agree, then let's make a contract. After the contract is completed, I will help you overcome this difficulty."

Feng Xia smiled like a cunning old fox.

Yao Wenhua's dilemma didn't last long, after all, he didn't have a better choice for the time being besides Feng Xia.

"Since you've said so..." Yao Wenhua gritted his teeth and agreed.

The contract was quickly concluded.

Feng Xia finally learned the general outline of what happened inside Guanglingxuan.

"Simply put, the Hun Tian Fruit you found is meant to extend the lifespan of the first Xuan Master. As for its effect of creating a true god, that's just a side effect?"

"That's right! The first master of Guangling Pavilion started from scratch and built the foundation of Guangling Pavilion single-handedly. To all of us, he is the sky of Guangling Pavilion!"

When talking about the first master of the Xuan family, Yao Wenhua's expression was extremely solemn and filled with boundless respect.

That kind of emotion, in Feng Xia's eyes, was completely genuine.

"However, there is a problem here. Guangling Pavilion has been established for at least ten thousand years. If the old pavilion master did not become a god, how could he have lived for so long?"

With his fingertips gently gliding across the tabletop, one after another, miniature Feng Xia emerged from Feng Xia's divine palace, sat cross-legged, and began to deduce the situation of Guangling Pavilion.

"Furthermore, the fact that the old master has not yet broken through to godhood indicates that his talent has reached its limit. Even if he forcibly ascends to the godhood realm, his strength will inevitably be at the bottom..."

Feng Xia's gaze fell on Yao Wenhua's face again: "Guangling Pavilion should have other young demigods, right? Why not use the Hun Tian Fruit on them instead of choosing to extend the old pavilion master's life?"

From an emotional perspective, it's understandable that everyone wants to keep the old master of the hall.

For a force that spans the entire Southern Star Region, this choice is not only difficult to understand, but it also puts the entire Guangling Pavilion in danger!

Even if we take a step back and assume that everything was due to the Stone of Destiny... oh, everything was due to the old master's willful actions.

In order to prolong life, they disregard sacrifice and resort to any means necessary...

Are the other senior executives of Guanglingxuan just going to watch Guanglingxuan fall apart?

"This……"

Yao Wenhua fell silent again.

Before he could explain, Feng Xia continued, "Besides, it's also strange that you didn't immediately send the Hun Tian Fruit to the old master after you obtained it, but instead waited until now."

What, do critically ill patients have to get out of bed, burn incense, bathe, and fast for three months before being rescued?

Yao Wenhua's bitter smile deepened, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead: "I am not unaware of the problems you have mentioned, but even I don't know the reasons behind them."

"It doesn't matter. I was just asking casually. As long as you can provide the information I need, whether you want to kill the old master or betray the interests of Guangling Pavilion, it's none of my business."
