Chapter 1322 Secret Treasure

On the other side, Jiang Xiaochuan lost all sense of direction shortly after entering the thick fog.

The fog was so thick that even breathing was difficult.

Even those with highly developed X-ray vision could only barely make out some blurry and distorted outlines in this strange, dense fog.

Even perception was suppressed to the lowest possible level.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the air became increasingly pure, and even just passive breathing brought waves of comfort to my limbs and bones.

This convinced Jiang Xiaochuan that the treasure was not far ahead, and the abundance of spiritual energy was the best guide.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiaochuan leaped into the air.

"Boom!"

It felt as if I had passed through an invisible film of water, and the feeling of being enveloped vanished instantly.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

A breath of fresh air rushed towards him, and Jiang Xiaochuan, without thinking twice, took a few deep breaths.

When his vision fully adjusted, he was instantly stunned by the sight before him.

This place feels like a completely independent little world deep within the Qianyan Mountain range.

Everything seemed enormous.

The ancient trees that require several people to encircle are only considered medium-sized here.

Higher up are truly colossal trees, their canopies disappearing into the light mist.

Ordinary shrubs have grown into a forest here.

Occasionally, giant birds with wingspans of several meters would fly leisurely overhead, emitting loud cries, seemingly unconcerned about Jiang Xiaochuan's intrusion.

Not far away, a babbling brook flows, its water a pale milky white, clearly imbued with a rich spiritual energy.

And Jiang Xiaochuan found the source of all this almost immediately.

In the very center of this small world, on a patch of open ground, grows a strange plant.

The plant is entirely emerald green, with thick, robust vines.

The most peculiar thing is that at the top of the vine grows a fruit that looks like a purple eggplant, but is many times rounder and plumper than a regular eggplant.

Wisps of spiritual energy were continuously emanating from the fruit, nourishing the entire secret realm.

"This is the secret treasure!"

Jiang Xiaochuan was overjoyed and unconsciously walked forward slowly, his eyes fixed on the purple eggplant-shaped fruit.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the purple fruit...

"Buzz!"

An invisible force field suddenly rippled out from the surface of the fruit.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt a gentle, powerful force push him several steps away, making it impossible for him to actually touch the fruit.

"really!"

Knowing that this thing wouldn't be so easy to get, Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes narrowed, and he glanced back in the direction he had come from, feeling anxious.

Lan Qin and Jiang Zhenyue could catch up at any moment, so we must succeed as soon as possible.

As he pondered, his hands instantly filled with spiritual energy, and he thrust out both palms, grabbing fiercely at the fruit.

The spiritual energy collided with the fruit's aura barrier, producing a muffled sound.

Jiang Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and exerted his strength, and soon sensed a strange resonance.

The spiritual energy within me merges with that of this plant, making it only a matter of time before we harvest the fruit.

As his spiritual energy flowed continuously into his palm, he finally broke through the invisible barrier.

But just then, an even more ferocious repulsive force suddenly came and pushed him away violently.

"Does this thing have its own thoughts and instinctively reject me?"

Jiang Xiaochuan was full of surprise. He clearly felt that the repulsion just now came from the fruit itself.

After a moment of contemplation, a ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes, and he raised his hand to unleash the Bloodlust.

This fruit possesses such spiritual power thanks to the protection of the plant below.

Obtaining fruit is a piece of cake as long as the connection between the fruit and the plant is severed.

With a thought, Jiang Xiaochuan unleashed the Bloodthirsty Sword, which transformed into a sharp ray of light and precisely pierced the delicate stem connecting the fruit to the plant.

"Ding!"

A clear, metallic clang rang out.

The bloodthirsty, sharp blade tip was firmly blocked by a suddenly brightening pale purple light membrane, preventing it from advancing an inch.

Even a force of recoil traveled along the sword, causing Bloodlust to emit an unwilling hum as it was bounced back.

"Don't waste your energy."

A cool, clear female voice drifted from behind.

Jiang Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat: "So fast?"

He turned around abruptly and saw Lan Qin already standing several feet behind him.

Lan Qin's gaze passed over Jiang Xiaochuan and landed on the purple fruit, a hint of undisguised eagerness flashing in her eyes.

At the same time, she gracefully took a few steps forward, her gaze returning to Jiang Xiaochuan.

"Young Master Jiang probably doesn't know yet, but this 'Purple Mansion Spirit-Nourishing Fruit' is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and a secret treasure closely linked to a specific bloodline inheritance."

"Apart from those within the family who have truly awakened their bloodline power, others..."

As she spoke, a smile played on her lips, and she said with complete ease, "Even with extraordinary cultivation, one cannot forcibly pluck it, let alone absorb its core essence."

Lan Qin walked steadily toward the spiritual plant without stopping.

Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes darkened as he stepped between Lan Qin and the Purple Mansion Spirit-Nourishing Fruit.

Although what Lan Qin said vaguely corroborated his earlier experience and the vague information from the inheritance in his mind.

But then again, how could he be willing to just hand over such a valuable treasure?

Upon seeing this, Lan Qin's face instantly turned cold, and her heart pounded as she looked at Jiang Xiaochuan blocking her way.

Although she didn't show it, she knew better than anyone that she had just suffered a great loss in her battle with Jiang Zhenyue.

Jiang Xiaochuan himself is quite strong, but what's more troublesome is that there's that terrifying black beast on the outside.

If I were to turn on them and fight head-on at this moment, my chances of winning... are probably not high.
