Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 417 - 414: Facing the Sea, with Spring Flowers Blossoming

Chapter 417: Chapter 414: Facing the Sea, with Spring Flowers Blossoming

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Above the old Ginseng’s head, its three leaves trembled more and more violently, visibly growing at high speed into a five-leaf "palm."

Then it turned into a "lampstand"...

In just a few breaths’ time, it had regrown to the "seven branches" it had before triggering reincarnation, and the growth hadn’t even stopped there.

After a flicker of multicolored Dharma Light,

Surprisingly, two more leaves sprouted, merging to become a total of nine leaves, completely metamorphosing into a Nine-Leaf Ginseng King!

This signified that Sage Wu, also known as the "Emperor Bao Sheng," had finally broken through his inherent Green Seal five-hundred-year lifespan limit, starting his Ginseng’s second spring.

At the same time, it was as though he had indirectly completed the ultimate Daoist Skill that every Demon Mage in the "Demon Master Dao" dreamed of achieving, the transformation from human to demon in order to break through the lifespan limit.

The only downside was its difficulty in replication.

But this precious success story should be enough to drive the Demon Mages in the "Demon Master Dao" completely mad.

A flash of blue Dharma Light, and the once again youthful-looking Sage Wu appeared on the spot,

With a noticeable reduction in the wrinkles on his face.

He looked as though he had transformed from a wrinkle-faced, decrepit old Ginseng into an... old Luobo radish.

"Ahh——!"

Overwhelmed with the joy of rebirth, he couldn’t help but let out a sky-reaching howl.

"Hahaha, I’ve actually managed to perfect the ’Reincarnation’ technique in the [Holy Healing Herb Technique], a feat no predecessor has ever achieved before.

I can live at least another three hundred years. Even if I save a bit of Great Merit at a time to challenge for the [Corpse Dissection Immortal], I now have a fifty percent chance! Hehehe..."

Smack!

Right at that moment, however, he suddenly felt something strange on his chest.

The joyously mad old Luobo radish then slowly lowered his head, only to discover in astonishment that a long... bill had been stuck to his chest!

The "hehehe" cackle that seemed to herald the emergence of a devil abruptly stopped as if it were stuck.

At the same time, a voice that seemed devilishly sneaky whispered into his ear:

"Wonderful, Sage Wu, you’ve finally awakened?

Your transformation took a total of one hundred twenty-one days—please settle the bill.

The charges include: water and fertilizer fees, land occupation fees, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism usage fees, service charges, [Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net] rent...

As a courtesy, your total payment is: fifty-seven million three thousand one hundred ninety-four point Merit.

Would you prefer to pay in cash, or through a [Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net] transfer?"

With every number heard, Sage Wu’s heart shuddered, and he stiffly turned his head,

Just in time to see Wang Yuan with the impeccable standard smile of a capital’s top-tier innkeeper, delivering the final blow:

"Also, our establishment does not accept any payment methods other than[Merit], but we do offer an installment plan of up to 36 months with an annual interest rate of just 42%.

If you’re satisfied with our services, please don’t forget to leave a positive review, dear!"

Wang Yuan swiftly blocked any possible attempt by the old Luobo radish to renege.

Finally, he avenged the debt of three [Emperor Bao Sheng Discount Cards] from long ago, feeling utterly refreshed.

Watching Sage Wu’s face turn from green to white, he feigned shock and exclaimed:

"Eh? May I be so bold as to inquire, you, a venerable Sage of the Green Seal, don’t happen to be... short on funds, do you?"

The old man, who had been outmaneuvered, glared at the hateful fellow who was rubbing salt in his wounds and squeezed out from between clenched teeth:

"You’re... being too presumptuous!"

In order to grasp that one in ten thousand chance, Sage Wu had tried every means possible to increase the success rate of "Reincarnation," having already spent all his savings.

Even the triple-bet he had lost to Wang Yuan had been cunningly settled with "valuable" [Emperor Bao Sheng Discount Cards] valued at one million Merit each.

If the rebirth had failed, they would be nothing more than three useless sheets of paper—how could he have any Merit left?

Moreover,

To tell the truth, compared to Sage Wu’s usual rate of one million for a single intervention, Wang Yuan’s price was not expensive at all.

If Sage Wu had had the money back then, he would have been willing to spend ten or even twenty million to rent the [Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net] just once.

This had solved a vast problem that all [Corpse Dissection Immortals] found insurmountable.

What in this world could possibly be more valuable than one’s own life?

Seeing his reaction, Wang Yuan, who had regained his psychological balance, smiled and with a snap of his fingers, a Ghost Fire sprang up, incinerating the long bill into ashes.

With a beaming smile, he said to the old man:

"Haha, Senior Wu, I was only joking, don’t take it to heart.

What’s five-plus million in Merit compared to our friendship? Speaking of money all the time ruins relationships!"

Then, he pulled out the three [Emperor Bao Sheng Discount Cards] from the Ghost Realm and burned them to ashes with equal abandon.

"Star Lord Taibai, what are you...?"

Even a decrepit old Luobo radish, who had ground down his sense of integrity over a prolonged lifespan, couldn’t help but admire the youngster’s magnanimity as he dismissed what could amount to more than eight hundred thousand in Merit,

Although just a number on paper, this was worth at least seven or eight sets of top-grade Immortal Mansions.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but take a closer look at Star Lord Taibai, this rising star he hadn’t been in contact with for long.

Wang Yuan gave a mysterious smile and continued,

"In fact, I have a project here that’s absolutely reliable.

With just your technical expertise and labor invested, not only will you not have to spend a penny, but you can also earn quite a sum.

Even according to the development trajectory I have in mind.

The ’favour of the Heavenly Dao’ obtained from this great merit, even creating a Corpse Dissection Immortal would not be a problem at all!

Earning the Heavenly Dao’s favor, now that’s a surefire lucrative deal," he said.

His "Tongue Blossoms" had become an instinct; as he dropped the crucial news, bowl-sized green lotuses also fell one after another.

Hearing this, the old man’s eyes shone brightly, and he grabbed Wang Yuan’s arm, urgently confirming,

"Really?! What project? I’m in!"

It was clear that in this world, no one could resist the temptation of immortality.

Even without the "Tongue Blossoms Aspect," Sage Wu believed that Wang Yuan would never joke about such a matter.

"Rest assured, Sage, I am honest and reliable in character, and I never lie.

Let’s first deal with the current situation, and we can discuss the rest in detail later, shall we?"

"Very well, that’s simple."

In his anxiety, Sage Wu inadvertently forgot a very crucial rule of trade—

—The so-called ’free’ things are actually the most expensive!

When Old Master Wang talks only about relationships and not about money, that means he’s no longer planning to spend a penny.

"Inner Scene Heaven and Earth, Suspended Pot Small Realm, open!"

As the sound of a medicine pot’s lid opening rang out,

A huge transparent medicine pot suddenly rose, encapsulating the six Ghost Dragons and the two Green Seal Strange Immortals of Earth Mother Black Sky.

Then, Sage Wu’s hands turned into a white luminosity, slowly inserting into the chests of the two Strange Immortals, each grasping a slowly beating Immortal Fruit.

Pop! Pop!

With two muffled sounds, when he pulled his hands out again, he held two radiant orbs that continued to pulse.

The one belonging to Emperor Mu was all gold, with woody meridians and six black orifices.

Corresponding to his Daoist foundation: the "Peach God Lengthening Scripture" and the "Six Paths Reincarnation Technique."

The one from Earth Mother Black Sky was interspersed with black and white, each bearing an extremely distorted face of a woman and a man.

Corresponding to her series of powers: "Plague" and "Death," "Reincarnation" and "Fertility."

Sage Wu acted with ease, as if he had done such things countless times.

"What is this called? This is called being professional!" he exclaimed with admiration, while Wang Yuan, with gleaming eyes, took the two orbs.

Although in his perception, these two Immortal Fruits were far from comparing to the No-Life Fruit that Great Fate had extracted from No-Life Buddha’s body,

He understood that these were still the strongest Killing Dao Fruits under the Heavenly Gate and would be the most powerful Jade Mansion Thunder Pivots.

They were completely sufficient for him to begin invoking the Daoist Skill Industry era he envisioned!

At the same time,

As the two Green Seal Strange Immortals were completely emptied and dissolved into dust, the earth’s central vein that had been occupied by the six Ghost Dragons for over two thousand years finally liberated, opening its embrace to Wang Yuan, its new master.

With the same origin of Daoist Skill and the powers of King Yanluo, he easily left his own brand on the Big Peach Wood.

Wang Yuan soared up to the treetop with an Escape Light, forming a mantra with his hands, and shouted:

"Spirit Qi be alert, majestically subduing a myriad stars. The Earth Gate connects with me, the Five Peaks connect with people. On the left, the Azure Dragon, on the right, the White Tiger.

Golden branches and jade leaves, Red Snake Coiling Seal! Start formation!"

Whoosh—!

As the spell was cast, a gust carrying the qi of Yi Wood’s vitality and the heavy Earth Qi suddenly whirled up, sweeping fiercely through the underground tomb.

Everything in front blurred like a ripple on the water.

The broken tombs, the scattered bones, the peach trees growing on the graves... All vanished in a breath.

In their place emerged a "Taoyuan" that was several times more vast than the "Beimang Mountain Blessed Land."

High mountains and flowing rivers, fruits and flowers scattered everywhere, resembling a slice of the Immortal Realm.

It was also inextricably linked to the island looming out at sea.

This was the true form of Peach Blossom Island!

Immediately after, the gust surged to the surface, merging with the prearranged formation.

The "Three-Level Golden Branches and Jade Leaves Formation" and "Red Snake Coiling Seal Formation" began to operate thunderously, animating the entire Immortal Mountain as though it had come to life.

The branch beneath Wang Yuan’s feet broke through the boundaries of two spaces, growing at the peak of Dushuo Mountain into a coiling peach branch extending for miles,

Shielding the "Dragon Tower Phoenix Pavilion" in its midst, showering down beautiful pink-white peach blossoms.

Standing at the very top of the Big Peach Wood, Wang Yuan, with his robes fluttering in the breeze, looked out at the partially completed Peach Blossom Island in the night and smiled contentedly:

"Starting tomorrow, I shall be a content man.

Planting fields, weaving cloth, peacefully living out my days.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll pay heed to grain and vegetables.

I own an island, facing the sea, where flowers bloom in spring warmth!"
