Chapter 449: Leaving the First Mountain
"They have already taken eight fruits. Don’t let them take more." Someone shouted.
However, no one planned to interfere with Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen for the time being.
In their minds, the two people from a low-grade world were easy to deal with.
After all the fruits were allocated, it wouldn’t be too late to take action against them.
Without anyone’s interference, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen cooperated tacitly and soon grabbed more than thirty fruits.
However, they didn’t stop there.
Since they had a chance, they naturally wanted to take full advantage.
In the end, the two managed to grab forty-two fruits which was thirty more than they originally hoped.
When all the fruits were taken, one of the eight Jiang Yue’s cut a branch of the red jade fruit tree before retreating to Yu Nianzhen’s side.
At the same time, some of the formations were broken and several enraged demonic beasts rushed towards Jiang Yue.
[They are coming.] Yu Nianzhen said as he hurriedly put away the fruits and tree branch.
[How is your condition?]
[I am okay.] Jiang Yue answered.
Although he used more effort than Yu Nianzhen to grab the fruits, he still had most of his qi and would have no trouble dealing with some opponents.
[Don’t push yourself.]
[I know. I won’t push myself and I won’t use all my strength.] Jiang Yue promised.
"If you take out all the red jade fruits, we will consider helping you deal with the demonic beasts." Someone shouted.
However, his tone of voice was filled with sinister intention and Jiang Yue couldn’t help but sneer.
’Does he think we are deaf or stupid?’ He wondered.
If he and Yu Nianzhen sought help from the group of people, they would definitely be stabbed in the back.
More importantly, he and Yu Nianzhen didn’t need help.
Since they didn’t plan to use their full strength to deal with the demonic beasts, it was natural to escape after killing a few.
"Are you going to watch them take so many red jade fruits?" A cultivator from the Raging Flame Mountain questioned the leading Female from the Three-Coloured Desert Mountain.
Hearing this, the female frowned.
She was naturally unreconciled.
In the previous rush, she only managed to grab five fruits and the others in her group gained even less.
When she thought that the two people from a low-grade world harvested more than forty fruits, she couldn’t help but feel unbalanced.
In the end, her greed won and she looked at the two with narrowed eyes.
"We each have half of everything including the fruits." She looked at the leading cultivator from the Raging Flame Mountain and spoke.
"My Raging Flame Mountain has more people. We will take seven points and you will take three."
"Impossible." The female directly refused.
After negotiating for a while, they finally decided on a six-four division.
The Raging Flame Mountain would take six points of the opponent’s belongings while the Three-Coloured Desert Mountain would take four.
’Are they treating us like a fat sheep?’ Jiang Yue couldn’t help but think when he heard the division.
At the same time, he activated three formation disks and threw them at the foreign cultivators.
[Ignore them, let’s get ready to leave.] Yu Nianzhen said.
Initially, he wanted to fight the foreign cultivators.
However, his divine sense had detected many people coming towards them.
If they didn’t want to be besieged, it was best to leave before the people arrived.
[Good.] Jiang Yue nodded and began to collect the demonic beast corpses.
A moment later, the two held hands and teleported away, leaving behind a horde of enraged beasts and angry cultivators.
When they reappeared, they were more than one thousand kilometres from the previous place.
"Let’s find a place to rest." Yu Nianzhen said.
"Okay."
After that, the two looked around and finally found a hidden space within an old tree.
The space was barely enough for two people but the two didn’t mind squeezing together.
"How are you?" Yu Nianzhen asked after the two settled down.
"I am fine." Jiang Yue said and raised his eyebrow in question.
"I am also okay." Yu Nianzhen smiled and rubbed his husband’s hair.
"It’s been a while since we experienced such excitement." Jiang Yue said.
"If we didn’t need to hide our strength, I would have liked to have a good fight." Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
"You will have a lot of chances during and after the challenge event." Jiang Yue comforted.
"I know." Yu Nianzhen suppressed his disappointment and his face turned solemn before he spoke.
"A cultivator can only refine one red jade fruit in their life. With forty-two fruits, our Cangxing Mountain may soon have an additional thirty or so new reincarnation realm cultivators."
"Thirty? Isn’t your expectation too high?" Jiang Yue asked but Yu Nianzhen shook his head.
"Although our people do not have high cultivation aptitudes, their tenacity is not low." Yu Nianzhen reminded.
Compared to most other worlds, the cultivation conditions in the Cangxing world were extremely poor.
In such conditions, the world still managed to give birth to more than three hundred nascent soul realm cultivators.
More importantly, those who came to the Reincarnation World were survivors of the Death Flower Ascension Front war and the sealed battlefield.
Considering this, even the least capable was not an ordinary cultivator.
"When you say it like that, there is really a chance of using forty-two red jade fruits to cultivate thirty reincarnation realm cultivators." Jiang Yue said and sighed.
"Red jade fruits are not enough though. I still hope we can find more resources."
"Let’s take our time." Jiang Yue held his husband’s hand and said.
"For the time being, we can look around to see if we will find more good things. After seven years, we will let XiaoLan take back all the things we will have accumulated."
"Okay."
The next morning, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen left their hideout and continued towards the centre of the mountain.
However, considering the previous trouble, the two changed their clothes and wore masks on their faces.
"It’s been a while since we wore masks." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but say with a hint of nostalgia in his voice.
"Do you like to wear masks so much?"
"It’s not bad to wear them once in a while."
After that, the two stopped talking and focused on dealing with a herd of iron-horned deer that was grazing nearby.
In this way, seven years passed and the two finally stepped out of the first mountain of the Boundless Mountain range.
"Our thirty years of practice were not wasted." Jiang Yue said as he gave XiaoLan a storage ring.
Not only did they accumulate a lot of resources for the Cangxing mountain, but their cultivation at the first level of the reincarnation realm was almost stable.
With a little more effort, their cultivation would be stable and they could once more focus on improving their realm.
"XiaoLan, remember to bring back a full report of the mountain." Jiang Yue reminded.
"XiaoLan knows." The little butterfly nodded, her body fluttering around to show her understanding.
"When you come back, we will be in the second mountain."
"XiaoLan will find master as soon as possible."
"Be careful on the way and escape if you encounter an opponent you can’t defeat." Yu Nianzhen said with a solemn expression on his face.
After all, XiaoLan was Jiang Yue’s contract beast.
If something happened to her, Jiang Yue would be affected and Yu Nianzhen didn’t want to see this.
"Master’s husband doesn’t have to worry, XiaoLan will be very careful." XiaoLan reassured and Jiang Yue could barely suppress his amusement.
When he heard Yu Nianzhen reminding XiaoLan, he had an illusion that the little butterfly was like their child who was about to go out on an errand.
"This is not her first time to go out alone, she will be fine." Jiang Yue said and XiaoLan nodded proudly.
Soon after, the little butterfly left and the two turned to look at the second mountain.
"The demonic beasts on the second mountain are equivalent to the second level of the reincarnation realm. If we can deal with them, the upcoming event will not be too big of a problem." Jiang Yue said.
"Not necessarily." Yu Nianzhen said.
"What do you mean?"
"Generally, demonic beasts have better physiques and it’s difficult to kill them. However, cultivators have more means. If we are not careful, we may yet capsize in the gutter." Yu Nianzhen explained.
However, Jiang Yue only smiled when he heard the explanation,
"Azhen, I believe in you." He said, his eyes filled with trust.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen smiled.
Looking at Jiang Yue, Yu Nianzhen wanted to do his best.
He didn’t want to disappoint himself or his lover.
For that reason, he worked extraordinarily hard and had barely rested in the past thirty years.
With his current strength, Yu Nianzhen was not certain of defeating all second-level reincarnation realm cultivators who challenged him.
However, when he finished revising his natal sword art...
