Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Five fruits.

That's 25,000 taels.

Its value is more than twice that of most of his gains.

It's his now.

Gu Chen surveyed the two groups of people who were now facing off in the valley after a battle.

A group of people were dressed in the robes of Haoran Academy disciples.

They were clearly from Haoran Academy, one of the seven factions.

Confronting them were several independent cultivators.

Among the several independent cultivators, the strongest was at the peak of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

The weakest is only at the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

There are five disciples of Haoran Academy.

The strongest among them had the cultivation level of the early stage of the Transformation Sea Realm, while the weakest had the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Breakthrough Aperture Realm, making them stronger than several rogue cultivators.

"Do you people from Haoran Academy have any sense of reason? We discovered this Five Elements Fruit Tree first, and you're openly robbing us!" The leader of the rogue cultivators was furious and shouted at the five Haoran Academy disciples.

They had finally found the Five Elements Fruit Tree, and just as they were about to pick the fruit, they were spotted by the group from Haoran Academy, who tried to rob them outright.

"You think you can just keep what you found first? How laughable." The leader of the five from Haoran Academy, a blue-robed disciple at the early stage of the Sea Transformation Realm, spoke as if he'd heard a naive joke: "Get out of here now, or die!"

Those rogue cultivators heard this.

His face darkened; these disciples from top-tier forces were simply going too far.

Everyone gritted their teeth, but still didn't dare to fight the five people from Haoran Academy again.

They had only exchanged blows briefly, yet one of their companions was injured.

If they continue to fight head-on, not only will they fail to obtain the Five Elements Fruit, but they may also die at the hands of these disciples from the Haoran Academy.

The secret realm has just opened; at worst, we can give up the Five Elements Fruit and go find other spiritual herbs.

The few independent cultivators left immediately.

"Hmph." Watching the few rogue cultivators leave in frustration, the five from Haoran Academy snorted coldly, thinking that these rogue cultivators knew what was good for them.

Otherwise, if they make a move, these men will die here.

A bunch of rogue cultivators with no foundation are not worthy of competing with them for spiritual fruits.

Overestimating one's abilities.

The disciple from the Haoran Academy, who was at the early stage of the Transformation Sea Realm, slowly walked towards the Five Elements Fruit Tree.

Five fruits, one for each of the five of them.

He arrived in front of the Five Elements Fruit, just as he was about to pick it.

Gu Chen's figure.

It fell from the sky above the valley.

It landed in front of the Five Elements Fruit Tree.

He went ahead of him and went directly to pick the Five Elements Fruit.

Upon seeing this, the blue-robed disciple from Haoran Academy revealed a cold look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, there were crawlers lurking nearby, waiting for their chance to strike.

After driving away the few rogue cultivators, they actually tried to snatch the Five Elements Fruit directly.

The other four disciples of Haoran Academy behind them also showed anger in their eyes.

Gu Chen was currently dressed as a rogue cultivator.

They felt that this rogue cultivator was truly courting death.

They dared to pick the fruit right away.

They were completely disregarded.

A disciple of the Haoran Academy, dressed in blue, stood by the fruit tree ahead. Seeing Gu Chen pluck a Five Elements Fruit and prepare to pick a second, the disciple drew his longsword and pointed it at Gu Chen: "Move again, and I'll kill you!"

Upon hearing this...

Gu Chen reached out his hand, intending to pick the second Five Elements Fruit, but then withdrew it.

Then he looked at the blue-robed disciple of Haoran Academy.

In an instant, the terrifying cultivation of the Core Formation Realm erupted, and a vast pressure surged directly from Gu Chen's body, pressing down on the blue-robed disciple of Haoran Academy in front of him and the four people behind him.

The blue-robed disciple of Haoran Academy in front of him and the five people behind him all changed their expressions drastically upon feeling the pressure of Gu Chen's Core Formation Realm aura.

"Core Formation Realm!" The five were shocked!

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen, this rogue cultivator...

It was actually a Core Formation Realm expert!

Generally, independent cultivators have extremely poor talent or lack the strength to rely on, making it very difficult for them to raise their cultivation to the Sea Transformation Realm or above before the age of thirty-five.

The few rogue cultivators they drove away before were among them; the strongest of them was only at the peak of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

He hadn't expected that Gu Chen was actually a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

That's simply unreasonable.

Are there such extraordinary talents among the rogue cultivators?

However, no one would explain it to them.

puff!

At this moment, Gu Chen's terrifying pressure descended upon them, forcing them to their knees and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Chen snorted coldly: "What did you just say? Say it again if you dare!"

The five people were so frightened that they dared not speak.

The leading disciple of Haoran Academy, dressed in blue, barely withstood the oppressive aura emanating from Gu Chen and said, "We were blind to your greatness and beg your forgiveness. We don't want the Five Elements Fruits anymore; we'll give them all to you. We only ask that you not hold our offense against us."

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Gu Chen slapped him with his backhand, his terrifying true essence transforming into a palm print, which sent him flying backward and crashing into a tree more than ten meters away.

He spat out another mouthful of blood, which slowly slid to the ground, and he knelt down.

The injury was quite serious.

"Hand over all your silver, pills, and any spiritual herbs you find, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, you're dead!" Gu Chen shouted at the group.

The four people behind saw the miserable state of the man in blue.

He hurriedly said, "We'll give it to you, we'll give it to you, please be lenient."

They immediately began to take out the pills, silver, and spiritual herbs they had just found.

Even the disciple in green robes who was slapped away by Gu Chen was the same.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took out all the silver, pills, and spiritual herbs that Gu Chen had requested.

This is the hidden paradise of Yutai Island.

Gu Chen was also a rogue cultivator.

They dared not even entertain the idea of ​​using Haoran Academy to intimidate others.

Most of those spoiled brats who invoke their powerful backers to intimidate others when trouble arises are fools.

This is the case.

If they dare to show any signs of resistance or revenge.

Gu Chen might just kill them, rob them of all their belongings, and then leave.

In this secret realm, being killed is simply a matter of being killed.

In addition, nobody knows who killed him.

Even if Haoran Academy wanted to help them get revenge, there was nothing they could do but accept their defeat.

That's why they're not stupid.

If they honestly hand over their belongings, as long as Gu Chen doesn't kill them, they can wait to reunite with the other powerful individuals who entered the Haoran Academy this time.

There might still be a chance for revenge.

The situation is beyond our control now, so we must be patient.

Among the people from Haoran Academy who entered the Jade Platform Island Secret Realm this time, there were also Core Formation Realm experts.

Seeing that the group obediently took out the items he had demanded, Gu Chen withdrew his aura and said to them, "Get lost."

Upon hearing this, the group felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

Leading the injured disciple in blue robes, they hurriedly left the valley and headed towards other parts of the secret realm.

in the valley.

Gu Chen continued picking the Five Elements Fruits.

They were released.

This was also something Gu Chen did intentionally.

Haoran Academy, one of the Seven Palaces.

There must be quite a few people entering the secret realm of Yutai Island this time.

He can use entrapment tactics.

It's not a good idea to actively try to take them away; it could make us a target for multiple parties.

It would be better to send them back to find other companions to take revenge.

That way, it would be reasonable to rob them again.

Searching for rare herbs and treasures on your own is nowhere near as fast as simply robbing someone.

At that time, you will not only obtain spiritual herbs and rare treasures, but also pills and silver.

That's the real issue.

Pick the remaining four Five Elements Fruits and put them into the storage bag.

Gu Chen then took all the silver, pills, and spiritual herbs left behind by the five disciples of Haoran Academy.

There aren't many miracle drugs.

After all, everyone had only been in the secret realm for half a day and hadn't found many, only five plants, which were probably worth a few thousand taels.

The five of them together had more than 15,000 taels of silver.

They were truly poor; each of these Haoran Academy disciples didn't even have four thousand taels of silver on average.

It's unclear whether they left their silver within their territory and didn't bring it with them, or whether they used it to purchase special medicines to enhance their strength before entering the secret realm.

The cultivation elixirs, two Transformation Sea Elixirs and nine Breakthrough Aperture Elixirs, are worth more than ten thousand taels of silver.

Put all the spoils into a storage bag.

Gu Chen left the valley and continued to chase after the Yamamoto family expert who was closest to him.

On the other side...

The five Haoran Academy disciples he had just released were now rushing towards the other Haoran Academy disciples in this region.

"Damn it, that damned rogue cultivator! Once we find Senior Brother Luo, we'll make sure he's dead!" The leading man in blue said in an extremely cold voice.

"When we meet Senior Brother Luo, we must make him cripple this rogue cultivator's cultivation first, then hand him over to us. We'll skin him alive, tear him apart, and cut him into a thousand pieces to quell our hatred," the other Haoran Academy disciples echoed coldly.

Their Haoran Academy, one of the Seven Palaces, has a powerful expert at the Heavenly Venerable Realm. When they are outside, these rogue cultivators treat them with utmost respect.

I didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of them.

They actually dared to rob them today and even insulted them like this.

There are quite a few experts who have entered the Core Formation Realm this time from their Haoran Academy. In fact, they are even stronger than Gu Chen.

The Senior Brother Luo they were talking about was someone who had broken into the top 100 of the Prodigy Ranking ten years ago, ranking 99th.

His current cultivation level is already at the late stage of Core Formation.

Gu Chen, a mere mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, dared to treat them like this. When they encounter Senior Brother Luo, they will definitely make sure Gu Chen dies!
