Zhang Ruochen had the Time Space Agate so the time around him flowed twice as slow. Thus, to outsiders, it seemed that he’d absorbed the entire fruit in only 15 minutes.

He opened his eyes and spat out white mist. “The saint fruits here are indeed extraordinary,” he muttered to himself. “Even though it’s not like the Amazing Saint Fruit, it’s still much better than the fruit from the Outer South Yard.”

He gained 3,400 more Rules of Saintly Way. Now, he had more than 44,000 rules inside of him.

Even with the help of the Mysteries of Truth and rules emperor weapon, it would still take a long time to create so many rules. He’d never be able to improve so fast.

By now, the ancient monsters had all been taken care of.

The Ancient Civilization Sect continued forward. An hour later, they reached the foot of a steep mountain.

Instead of going around it, they stopped.

The mountain was steep and pathless. It went straight into the clouds. Some ancient pavilions and pagodas were built in the yellow-brown walls, thousands of meters tall. There were also countless trees and medicine more than 50,000 years old.

Because these fruits and medicine were shockingly valuable and rare, the top civilizations of the sect started dividing them up at the foot of the mountain.

Then each civilization sent a top figure out to climb the mountain and pick the fruit and medicine that had already been divided up.

The strong figure that the Thousand Star Civilization sent out was the silent and thin Blindman.

Like a ghost, he transformed into a vaporous snake. His body stretched to more than 1,000 meters long. With his feet on the ground, he extended a claw and picked a seven-leaf medicine that was growing on the cliff.

Densely packed formation runes appeared around the medicine, forming hundreds of terrifying thunderbolts and loud explosions.

But no matter how terrifying they were, they couldn’t harm the Blindman at all.

After picking the medicine, he returned to the starry carriage and gave it to the Thousand Star Maiden.

The Blindman is actually so powerful, Zhang Ruochen thought. No wonder the Thousand Star Maiden dares to cooperate with me. She’s not afraid that I’ll kill her and take her Mysteries of Truth.

The Blindman and Big Beard stayed close to her like two guardian gods.

The abilities that the Blindman demonstrated so easily were at a terrifying level even in the entire Truth Heavenly Domain.

Li Qinghai looked at Zhang Ruochen and bowed. “Brother Lin, you picked three fruits earlier. You won’t have any effect even if you eat the other two. Can I use some fruit and medicine to exchange with you?”

Zhang Ruochen could see that Li Qinghai was more respectful now. He didn’t act as casually as before.

“Brother Li, no need to be so polite.” Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “As long as you can give me enough fruit and medicine for improving cultivation, I’ll definitely be happy to exchange with you.”

Li Qinghai grew excited. He hurriedly took out five types of fruit and three types of medicine from his spatial container.

As a spatial cultivator, he’d gotten some great rewards from the God-Naming Platform.

Zhang Ruochen checked the fruit and medicine. Then he frowned and reached out, pointing at one fruit and medicine. “I’ve eaten everything already, other than those.”

Li Qinghai grew nervous. He sent a message to Zhang Ruochen. “Brother Lin, how many Rules of Saintly Way did that fruit help you gain?”

“Around 3,400 rules.”

Li Qinghai’s heart jumped. Sadness arose in his eyes and he chuckled wryly. “Sorry, that fruit and medicine of mine can only help you gain 1,200 rules in total. It seems like I’m not fated to receive that fruit.”

He was very disappointed. After all, if he could’ve gotten Zhang Ruochen’s saint fruit, then he may very well reach the third step.

“Brother Li, no need to be so disappointed. Since we could meet, it’s also fate. For this, I’m willing to trade the fruit that I just picked with you.”

He took out the cherry-sized white fruit and handed it to Li Qinghai. “Brother Li, you only have to give me enough fruit and medicine to gain 3,400 rules.”

Li Qinghai was overjoyed. He gave Zhang Ruochen all the fruit and medicine in his spatial container. “If you add all these fruits and medicines together, you can gain 4,500 rules. All for you, Brother Lin! Please don’t refuse. Let’s be friends.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and nodded, accepting the container.

In the distance, Gu Feng glanced at Zhang Ruochen’s spatial container and greed flashed past his eyes.

Mo Xiaogu, Pushan, and Chou Gu were very tempted. Mo Xiaogu was the most proactive one. She immediately walked toward Zhang Ruochen and took out her fruit and medicine to trade for the last fruit.

Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be so generous all the time. It depended on the person.

Checking what Mo Xiaogu had, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Xiaogu. There’s only one fruit among all of those that I haven’t eaten yet. The quality of that fruit is very far from the one that I just picked.”

Mo Xiaogu looked at Zhang Ruochen with teary eyes, seeming very pitiful.

One must admit that she was indeed beautiful with delicate features. She seemed very weak. If another man saw her like this, his heart would probably melt.

But Zhang Ruochen was unmoved. “I have some other fruit and medicine that can improve your cultivation. I can trade them with you too.”

Then he took out a dozen saint fruits and medicines. He explained the number of rules that they could help someone gain. Looking at Pushan and Chou Gu, he said, “Gentlemen, if you have fruit and medicine, you can also trade with me.”

The two already had this idea, so they walked over and started trading with Zhang Ruochen.

Trading with Li Qinghai, Mo Xiaogu, Pushan and Chou Gu gave Zhang Ruochen three fruits and three medicines that he hadn’t eaten before.

After refining them, he gained close to 3,000 rules in his body. His cultivation improved a bit more.

All cultivators who can come here must all be top figures. They’ll definitely have treasures to improve cultivation.

This trade gave him another way to improve. Thus, he quietly walked toward the two silver giants that protected them.

After some discussion, Zhang Ruochen received five types of improvement medicine from them.

Next, he started talking to the group of formation masters too.

This time, he took out medicine and fruit that could improve Spiritual Power. The formation masters were instantly tempted and they took out all their treasures.

The range of trade kept widening. More and more cultivators joined in.

Anyway, the strong figures of the Ancient Civilization Sect would take care of any monsters. The protected group of special cultivators were deep in the trade and it almost turned into a mini market.

Zhang Ruochen got 14 types of fruit and 23 types of medicine in total. It was like a great harvest and he was indescribably happy.

However, it would be even harder to find fruit and medicine that he hadn’t eaten before now.

A foxy woman with a black veil bowed slightly. Smiling, she said, “Lord Lin, our highness would like to trade with you too.”

Zhang Ruochen quickly put the fruit and medicine that he’d just gotten into his spatial ring before looking up at the beautiful woman.

Even though she wore a veil and covered her face under her eyes, her curvy body, full breasts and slender legs were still very tempting to one’s soul.

She had charm. Even if she didn’t use the spell, her every laugh and move was able to mesmerize a cultivator. ????????????re????d. ????????????

In the distance, Gu Feng’s eyes shone. “Exquisite quality!” he said a bit drunkenly.

But Zhang Ruochen grew cautious. He’d indeed traded a lot of fruit and medicine earlier, but he’d also exposed his wealth.

It was possible that some greedy cultivators had their eyes on him now.

“I only want fruit and medicine that can improve cultivation,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The woman with the black veil chuckled. “The highness has many fruits and medicines that can improve cultivation. It’s definitely enough to satisfy your needs.”

“There aren’t that many different types in the God-Naming Platform and I’ve already had most of them.”

“Have you eaten the ones from this fatal land?” the woman asked.

It would be strange if Zhang Ruochen wasn’t tempted. Every fruit and medicine picked here was extremely precious and valuable. They could improve cultivation greatly.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe that this woman’s so-called highness was willing to use those fruits for a trade.

“Who is your highness?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The woman turned and extended a slender arm to point in some direction. There, a handsome man in black robes stood beside a nine-foot-tall ink jade kirin. He dipped his head and smiled at Zhang Ruochen.

A voice traveled into his ears. “Young Lord Lin, I, Shen, genuinely wish to trade with you. Shall we meet?”

“Wizard God Emperor.” Zhang Ruochen was shocked.

The Wizard God Civilization was an extremely ancient civilization. It had a long history and was the origin of the universe’s Wizard Way. The Wizard God Emperor was even more so a strong figure among the Ancient Civilization Sect.

Before, the Thousand Star Maiden had told Zhang Ruochen about some people that he definitely shouldn’t offend. The Wizard God Emperor was one of them.
