Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290: Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit
"Huh."
In the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm, somewhere in the forest, beneath a small mountain.
At this moment, Qing Lin was pressing his hands against the mountain wall.
His eyes were wide open, staring directly into the crevice of the mountain wall.
Within the crevice, a strand of fiery red light shimmered, beneath it, a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was growing in an extremely peculiar manner.
"Fire Emperor Ganoderma? Wow, what a find."
Qing Lin stared at the fiery red Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the crevice, taking a deep breath in surprise.
The Fire Emperor Ganoderma, a fire attribute treasure, is ranked as an emperor-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
In terms of rarity, it even surpasses the Thousand Wind Imperial Fruit.
Qing Lin leaned sideways, reaching his hand into the mountain wall crevice.
In fact, with his power, he could completely manipulate the breeze to levitate the object.
However, the Fire Emperor Ganoderma, being a fire attribute Heavenly Material, is extremely repulsive to wind attribute auras.
Furthermore, rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of this level generally require special harvesting methods.
The most cautious method would be to pick it with his own hands.
After a while, Qing Lin fumbled around in the mountain wall crevice, then swiftly pulled out the Fire Emperor Ganoderma.
He glanced at the Fire Emperor Ganoderma, and with a delighted expression, stored it in his Universe Ring.
...
One day later, Qing Lin was wandering leisurely.
Two days later, Qing Lin took a short break, then continued his leisurely wandering.
Three days... four days... five days...
For Qing Lin, his days in the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm consisted only of wandering around.
Of course, anyone or anything that dared irritate him or disturb his rest had been taught a harsh lesson by his fists.
Clearly, he was still in a foul mood.
Aside from wandering, resting, and fighting, he didn’t have many ways to ease his bad mood.
Until the eighth day.
In a dense forest, he suddenly squatted down.
This squat lasted for a whole day and night.
On the ninth day, he suddenly sat down, but otherwise, he didn’t change his posture much.
Ssss... ssss...
Suddenly, a rustling sound of leaves was heard behind him in the dense forest.
Qing Lin twitched his ears slightly but made no move.
Whoosh...
A figure suddenly sped towards him from behind.
A scorching palm wind was about to hit his back.
It was only then that Qing Lin’s eyes turned cold.
Just as he was about to make a move, the figure behind him suddenly paused.
"Qing Lin?" The figure stopped and called, looking at the half-squatting Qing Lin.
Qing Lin turned around with a smile, "Oh, Tong Ye."
Indeed, the figure who suddenly appeared was none other than Tong Ye.
Tong Ye, with a grumpy expression, waved his hand, dismissing the scorching flame in his palm instantaneously.
At this moment, Tong Ye looked at Qing Lin with confusion.
Because at this moment, Qing Lin was staring intently at something.
Tong Ye, still puzzled, moved closer and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Before Qing Lin could answer, Tong Ye’s face suddenly changed dramatically.
"Is... is this the Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit?"
Qing Lin nodded and made a shushing gesture, "Don’t make a noise. This thing is nearly ripe for picking."
"I’ve been watching it for a whole day and night."
"Gulp." Qing Lin swallowed greedily, looking at the nearly ripe Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit before him.
The Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit, the first treasure of the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm, the primary holy fruit among the emperor-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The power within its fruit is surging as if it could contain heavens and earth.
Martial Artists who consume it can reach the nine mysterious realms in one leap.
"Great stuff, great stuff." Tong Ye stammered in awe.
"How did you come across this, you’re really lucky, Qing Lin."
"What’s this." Qing Lin pouted, a flash of light from his Universe Ring.
One by one, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appeared out of nowhere.
Tong Ye’s eyes widened, "Thousand Wind Imperial Fruit, Fire Emperor Ganoderma, Divine Walking Hundred Flower Fruit, Seven-Colored Snake Flower..."
"Gulp." Tong Ye swallowed again, "Qing Lin, you you you..."
"Tsk tsk." Qing Lin’s face was full of pride, "These days, I’ve had pretty good luck, picked quite a few good things."
"You call this pretty good luck?" Tong Ye said in shock, "You’ve gathered more than half of the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm’s rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, huh?"
"Where have you been these days?"
Unaffected, Qing Lin looked at all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the ground and said, "When the second round of scoring ends, this Fire Emperor Ganoderma is yours."
"The Divine Walking Hundred Flower Fruit is for Qin Yi."
"The Thousand Wind Imperial Fruit I’ll consume myself, the Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit will go to Junior Brother Xiao Yi..."
Qing Lin continued listing, and this large pile of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures seemed to be allocated to each and every disciple from the academy.
"Oh, right." Qing Lin suddenly remembered, "I haven’t been anywhere, just wandering around; what about you guys?"
"Speaking of which, this Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm is really vast, comparable to the size of a region."
Tong Ye glared at Qing Lin, "Just wandering around and you picked so many treasures?"
"Tsk tsk." Tong Ye suddenly laughed, "These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, if taken outside, many of them are rarely seen in a thousand years."
"Even in a treasure land like the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm, it would take thousands of years to cultivate, only one of each."
"You’ve taken them all; if the Heavenly Hidden Academy finds out, they might go crazy."
Qing Lin shrugged, "It’s part of the scoring contest they agreed to, doesn’t matter to me."
"You haven’t told me, where did you all go?" Qing Lin asked.
Tong Ye replied, "Where else? After randomly appearing in the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm on the first day, all the disciples cautiously searched for Senior Brother Mo Youu."
"Looking for Senior Brother Mo Youu?" Qing Lin showed a doubtful expression.
"Yes." Tong Ye nodded, "Senior Brother Mo Youu is the captain, naturally we should find him."
"Since yesterday, almost all the academy disciples have gathered, except for you."
"Traveling as a team?" Qing Lin furrowed his brow.
"Yes." Tong Ye nodded again, "Not only Black Cloud Academy, but all academy teams are doing the same."
"After all, traveling alone is too dangerous."
"There have been numerous battles breaking out within the secret realm these days."
"Makes sense." Qing Lin nodded again.
Tong Ye said, "The team is just a few dozen miles away, I just happened to be scouting around here."
"Once this Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit is ripe for picking, let’s return together."
"Alright." Qing Lin nodded.
An hour later.
"It’s ripe." Qing Lin looked at the Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit and smiled.
"Quick, pick it." Tong Ye’s face was full of joy.
"Alright." Qing Lin carefully began picking it.
After a short while, the entire Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit was picked.
"Let’s go." Tong Ye said.
Qing Lin nodded, just about to store the Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit and follow Tong Ye.
Suddenly, from outside the dense forest, a dozen figures came breaking through the sky.
Leading the dozen figures was a young man with a dignified aura, along with a woman in a red dress.
"Huh?" Qing Lin glanced at the newcomers, his eyes instantly turned cold, "It’s you guys?"
"Sikong Yu, Mo Youh."
The coldness in Qing Lin’s eyes intensified.
Tong Ye shook his head seeing this.
Qing Lin squinted his eyes, retracting his chilling look, "Hmph, for Senior Brother Mo Youu’s sake, can’t be bothered to hit you, get lost."
"The Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit?" Sikong Yu and Mo Youh’s eyes simultaneously locked onto the Heavenly Hidden Nine Mysterious Fruit in Qing Lin’s hand.
