Chapter 4084 — The Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Brother Ling Yi, what are you standing there dazed for? Hurry up and gather the herbs! We may have Senior Brother Chen on watch and Captain Xiaotao holding the spirit beasts at bay, but we still need to move fast. If we draw some monstrously powerful spirit beast, all our work will have been for nothing!" Ceng Zhima noticed Wei Zhao staring blankly and immediately urged him on.
Yet when he followed Wei Zhao's gaze to that strange tree, he too froze, unable to look away for a long while.
It was a good while before Ceng Zhima came back to his senses, panting hard. Pointing at the five glowing fruits at the top of the tree, he stammered, "This... could this be... could it be the legendary Myriad Crossing... Golden Core Fruit?"
"Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit?" Wei Zhao blinked in mild surprise. He had never heard the name, but judging by Ceng Zhima's expression—so overjoyed he looked ready to faint—it had to be some extraordinary high-grade spirit medicine.
Chen Muzhuang, keeping watch from his perch atop the tree, noticed the odd behavior of the two below. A strange glint flashed through his eyes, and he at once leaped down from the tree. But the moment his gaze fell upon those five fruits, greed was written all over his face.
Moments later, Huang Xiaotao, who had been patrolling nearby, sensed something amiss and drew closer to the three of them. When she saw the five golden-core-shaped fruits, her body went rigid as though struck by lightning.
"Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit? Are these truly Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruits? Junior Brother Ceng Zhima, I recall you spent some time apprenticing in the spirit herb garden—can you be certain?" Huang Xiaotao asked, her face full of disbelief.
"Captain Xiaotao, I stake my own head on it—these five are absolutely Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruits. Let a Golden Core cultivator consume one, and they'll advance a full grade on the spot—a rare and precious spirit medicine! And if a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment takes one, they're guaranteed to form their Golden Core with a hundred percent success. These are treasures of truly incalculable value, priceless and unavailable on any market!" Ceng Zhima said, swallowing hard again and again.
Even Wei Zhao was shaken. A Golden Core cultivator advancing a full grade on the spot, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator guaranteed a hundred percent success in forming their core—could such heaven-defying spirit medicine truly exist in this world?
After a moment, Huang Xiaotao managed with difficulty to suppress her excitement and spoke to the others. "This is a stroke of fortune one might not encounter once in a lifetime. These Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruits—let's split them among us!"
"Agreed!" Chen Muzhuang and Ceng Zhima answered without a moment's hesitation, and Wei Zhao naturally had no objection either.
"But there are five Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruits here and only four of us. That won't divide evenly, will it?" Chen Muzhuang promptly objected.
Wei Zhao had already learned on the road earlier that in Huang Xiaotao's team, apart from mission contribution points, which went to the captain, bounty rewards and the like were always split evenly among everyone. All in all, it was a very fair-minded team.
Ceng Zhima, however, argued back. "What's so hard about that? First come, first served—each of the four of us takes one, and the extra one naturally goes to Captain Xiaotao. She's been looking after us all this time, and she's the captain besides. In any other trial team, it would only be right for the leader to take the lion's share!"
This Ceng Zhima was an upright fellow after all! Wei Zhao nodded to himself and spoke up. "I have no objections."
