The Liuyun Sect's Sixth Elder, Fei Ying, heard about a mysterious figure selling some unique foods in a small town.
It is said that these foods are spicy and flavorful, made with something called vermicelli, which is unlike regular noodles, translucent and crystal-clear, harmoniously placed in a spicy red broth.
Coincidentally, his own disciple was also in that small town searching for the Life Fruit, so Fei Ying decided to find out directly.
After all, he was notoriously known for being unable to resist the temptation of good food; he wouldn't miss any chance to try delicious food.
He didn't expect that upon arriving in the small town, he went straight to the stall and saw someone casually tossing the Life Fruit into someone else's mouth!
What a waste of a heavenly object, truly a waste! The Sect Leader had searched far and wide for this item for his daughter, yet here it was being carelessly tossed around!
However, when he saw the person's face clearly, he made no other moves.
Nor did he dare to make any moves.
Was he seeing things? Perhaps he had mistaken the person!
But even without the signature white robe of the Immortal Sect, those unforgettable fox-like eyes couldn't be mistaken!
Seeing the rare genius, recognized as the Child of Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Cultivation World — Cen Lizhui — trying pitiably to explain himself to a woman at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Rank, Fei Ying fell silent.
The story of Cen Lizhui is legendary from the moment he was born; he was brought in as a baby by a Nine-tailed White Fox to the cave where the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect was in seclusion. That day, happened to be the day the Sect Leader emerged from seclusion.
The Sect Leader, upon emerging from the cave and seeing the baby, was utterly surprised. He tried to catch up with the white fox, but even in his then-nearly True Immortal stage, he couldn't catch up with a mere demon fox.
And hence, the Immortal Sect gained Cen Lizhui.
Cen Lizhui's spirit root was also an exceptionally rare quality, but the Immortal Sect never disclosed its attribute, and others couldn't discern it either. No one knew his current level.
Everyone only knew that until now, this young man who could be considered young in the Immortal Cultivation World, had never been defeated.
Yet, this legendary figure was currently, together with a Foundation Establishment Eighth Rank girl, moving a Loose Cultivator.
That Loose Cultivator fell into a complete coma after just one bite of the Life Fruit, indicating the Heavenly Dao didn't favor him much.
"Where should we take him?" Chen Muxue was still quite happy.
It was nothing much, just that when she searched… no, searched the table for compensation earlier, she found two silver ingots bearing forty ingots from Hidden Forest Hermit!
It seems these cultivators were quite wealthy...
Chen Muxue suddenly shook her head, throwing out the evil thoughts that had arisen in her mind.
Though she was written as a villain, at this point in time, the original character was just an ordinary small Sect Leader; she couldn't harbor those purely villainous thoughts!
Cen Lizhui thought for a moment: "First, let's drag him to the tavern and see if they have anything to say over there."
"Indeed, he was obviously here to cause trouble just now, and it must have been those people at the tavern..." Chen Muxue stopped midway, realizing something was off, "Hmm? How do you know I have a conflict with the tavern?"
Cen Lizhui cleared his throat: "The fragrance from your place is so strong that it wafted several miles; the tavern is over there, their business declined, so of course, they won't sit idly by. Besides, who in the whole town didn't know about the pickled radish incident before?"
Chen Muxue thought for a moment, shrugged, and agreed: "Are you a local here?"
"No, I'm just here to sell things."
Seeing Chen Muxue's face darken again, Cen Lizhui quickly explained: "The Life Fruit isn't what you think it is, I truly mean no harm!"
Listening silently to everything, Fei Ying's jaw was about to drop; the Cen Lizhui he knew as the Immortal Sect's rare genius wasn't like this! Who was this woman?
