Chapter 273: 273: This Spirit Fruit is Poisonous
He had to maintain a distance of about five miles from Xiao Yuwei. He couldn’t go beyond it, otherwise the mission would be immediately deemed a failure.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know the consequences of failure, he only knew that if he failed, his twenty prestige points would be gone!
The reward for his previous breakthrough had long been credited into his account, but now he couldn’t really use the chance to forcibly stabilize his cultivation once.
This thunderous energy infusion had given him an all-round improvement.
The improvement was not substantial, but it had still made Jiang Xiaobai slightly stronger. In such a situation, every bit could affect his life and death.
“Strange, why has Xiao Yuwei stopped moving?” Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself in his heart, filled with curiosity.
Thinking about this, he decided to go check out the situation.
After all, the system didn’t say that they couldn’t be together.
“Let’s go find Xiao Yuwei.” Jiang Xiaobai fixed himself up and redid his disguise.
His previous disguise method had long since dissipated with the lightning strike, now his true appearance would be exposed if seen, which was truly ill-fated.
It would significantly impact many of his plans.
Next to him, AnRan sighed sentimentally, “Boss, you’re so good-looking, you’re the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. Why are you constantly changing your appearance with disguises? Whether you change your appearance or not, your actions will inevitably be exposed.”
“You don’t understand anything, if I don’t disguise myself, those who want to kill me would be fiercer. By that time, you would be turned into ashes in a second.” Jiang Xiaobai said, displeased.
After all, his true identity was pretty famous in the Eastern Region. The Gu Clan would definitely play tricks secretly and stir up trouble for him.
This was not unlike the ruthless style of GuBei.
If the Gu Clan learned he was here, considering the conflict that had happened, Jiang Xiaobai felt that fucking GuBei would send a Unity Period expert to hunt him down.
By then, it would be an unlimited hunt, he might not even have a chance to catch his breath, let alone have the time to respond. He would be directly knocked out.
“Ah? Boss, how many enemies do you have?” AnRan exclaimed in surprise.
While changing his appearance, Jiang Xiaobai pondered, “Let me put it this way, your boss’s biggest enemy, if they send someone over, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty couldn’t stop them.”
“Amazing, it’s no wonder you’re my boss, you’re so impressive.”
“Hmm? Fatty, why are you walking so far away?”
“Am I? I don’t think so, I’ve been standing here the whole time.”
“Heh, are you trying to distance yourself from me?” Jiang Xiaobai said with a forced smile.
AnRan quickly shook his head like a rattle drum: “No way, I have a life-and-death bond with the boss. We share life and death, why should I be afraid of such a small matter?”
“Oh? Then why are you backing away?”
As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he suddenly rushed up and kicked the fat man’s buttocks.
Greedy guy, he was more excited than anyone else when it came to dividing the loot, but now that he knew there was such a fierce enemy behind him, he wanted to run away?
How untrustworthy!
After the squabble, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan quickly arrived at Xiao Yuwei’s location. They covered a few miles in the blink of an eye.
Once they arrived, they were dumbfounded. There were so many people here!
And in the center of the crowd was a fruit tree bearing red fruits.
Xiao Yuwei was calmly waiting in the crowd for the fruit to fully ripen. When she suddenly caught sight of Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes twitched.
“Why did he come here? It’s over, he’s definitely going to set his sights on this spiritual fruit!”
She had seen Jiang Xiaobai’s knack for causing trouble. He was the restless sort, terrifying because he had many ways to do anything!
“Don’t come over, don’t come over…” Xiao Yuwei murmured in her heart.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaobai was not telepathic and was walking towards her with long strides.
“Yo, Your Highness Seventeenth Princess, have you encountered some big opportunities?” Jiang Xiaobai happily exclaimed.
Nonsense, if there were opportunities, how could he possibly miss them?
“Nothing much, I just came across a spiritual fruit. It should be ripe in about an hour.” Xiao Yuwei calmly answered.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, then looked at it. He quickly shook his head and laughed.
“Don’t bother waiting, let’s go. This thing is quite harmful.” Jiang Xiaobai said.
“Huh? What do you mean? Are you trying to trick me into leaving so you can seize the opportunity?”
Xiao Yuwei squinted her eyes.
According to her understanding of Jiang Xiaobai these few days, he was capable of doing such a thing.
“Nonsense, even if I were to be greedy, I would not risk my life for it.”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged, “Indeed it is a spiritual fruit, but it is poisonous, highly poisonous at that! Unless you have a special body constitution, it would be useless. Not only that, but eating it even carries a risk of death.”
“I honestly don’t have any interest in this thing. If you don’t believe me, you can stay and wait. You’ll see if I will try to snatch it later.”
At that moment, Xiao Yuwei squinted her eyes.
She was a bit unsure now.
“Are you sure? I just sensed it, and there was no such aura from this spiritual fruit.” Xiao Yuwei raised an eyebrow.
“You didn’t sense any toxic aura because the fruit is not yet ripe. Once it is ripe, the branches and leaves around it will turn into toxic substances and infuse into the spiritual fruit.”
Jiang Xiaobai gave her a look as if he were looking at an idiot, “The key factor of this spiritual fruit is that before it fully ripens, the leaves infuse the toxins into the fruit. As such, what initially could only poison an expert at the Nascent Soul Stage can now even easily poison an expert at the late Fusion Stage.”
“Are you being superstitious? You’re not an alchemist, what do you know?” The Transcendence Stage expert who had always disliked Jiang Xiaobai scoffed from behind Xiao Yuwei.
Having clashed several times, Jiang Xiaobai also knew that this person was named Xiao Wu and was considered the most powerful among these late stage experts.
The reason why he had repeatedly clashed with Jiang Xiaobai was probably because Jiang Xiaobai had taken the position he always held.
Hearing what Xiao Wu said, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him, “How do you know I’m not an alchemist?”
“Xiao Wu, you better pray that you can stay by Xiao Yuwei’s side for the half a month, otherwise it would be as simple as squashing an ant to kill you.”
“You!” Xiao Wu roared in anger, but was glared down by Xiao Yuwei.
“Enough, I’ll believe you this time, let’s go.”
Xiao Yuwei humphed and turned to leave, not hesitating in the slightest.
It’s not that she completely trusted Jiang Xiaobai now, rather it was more of a waste of time to wait here than to seek other opportunities.
The secret region will only open tomorrow.
“By the way, you said earlier that you could prevent people from entering the secret region. How do you do that?”
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly asked.
