Chapter 106 I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Damn it, it's that bald monk again!"
The green-haired turtle was extremely tense and felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Li Wudao was also unable to calm down. He watched as the fat monk snatched away the opportunity, but he dared not speak out in anger.
“Amitabha, we meet again, benefactors.”
Lian Chen smiled as she put away the Spirit Spring Jade Marrow, her eyes almost squinting into slits.
The man and the turtle stared at each other, silent, their faces filled with vigilance.
"Fat monk, this Spirit Spring Jade Marrow was discovered by me, it's not appropriate for you to interfere, is it?"
The green-haired turtle was so angry that it mustered up its courage to question him.
Anyone would be extremely unhappy if the duck they were about to get was snatched away.
“You are mistaken, Benefactor Turtle.”
With a faint smile, Lianchen said leisurely, "Rare treasures are for those who are destined to obtain them. This item was obtained by this humble monk, so it is naturally destined for me."
"What kind of twisted logic is this?" the green-haired turtle exclaimed indignantly.
"No, this is the ultimate truth of Buddhism."
The fat monk shook his head slightly and said in a serious tone, "If Benefactor Turtle cannot understand my Buddhist teachings, I do know a little about martial arts. How about we verify it?"
"........"
The green-haired turtle turned to stone, and my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
This was the first time he had ever heard someone describe "using power to oppress others" in such a fresh and elegant way.
If I weren't outmatched, I would definitely have given this bald monk a run for his money and shown him what "nightmare-inducing" really meant!
"........"
Li Wudao was speechless; he had never seen such a shameless person!
He seriously doubted whether this fat, scrawny monk was truly a high-ranking Buddhist monk.
They seem no different from thugs and hooligans.
Thinking of this, the boy felt a bitter taste in his mouth. The things he had done in the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm were now coming back to haunt him.
Indeed, the principle of might makes right applies at all times.
At this moment, he felt a strong urge to become stronger. It was not enough to be respected among his peers; he needed to rely on even greater strength.
"I will ask again, benefactor turtle, is it true that you did not obtain the Buddhist treasure? If you are willing to return it, I will make other compensation."
Suddenly, the fat monk's inquisitive gaze fell on the green-haired turtle.
Hearing this,
The green-haired turtle's eyes darted around, still denying it outright, saying, "I've already said I've never seen it. How come you, fat monk, can't understand human language?"
"It should be turtle talk."
Beside him, Li Wudao muttered to himself.
These words immediately drew a fierce glare from the green-haired turtle.
"In that case, this humble monk will take his leave."
Surprisingly, Lianchen didn't get angry. Instead, she left with a meaningful smile and turned to disappear.
"That bald monk is finally gone! I'm so angry!"
After noticing the fat monk leave, the green-haired tortoise let out a long sigh of relief, then jumped up and down in anger, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Those bald monks in Buddhism are all the same; after all these years, they're still so hypocritical!"
Li Wudao was also upset that the Spirit Spring Jade Marrow had been taken away, but seeing the Green-haired Turtle so humiliated made him feel much better.
At the same time, a thought struck him. Judging from the green-haired turtle's words, it seemed that there had been some unpleasant entanglements with Buddhism in the past.
Could it be that he was also robbed of his place by Buddhist monks before? Otherwise, why would he be so indignant...?
Before long, the man and the tortoise left the Green Valley and continued their journey.
"Hey Xiao Heizi, we're practically family, so tell me honestly, did you actually obtain the Buddhist treasure?"
"Hey kid, who do you think you are? Don't try to claim kinship with me."
"Damn it, I said a few nice words and you're already taking advantage of me, aren't you?"
"........."
They couldn't agree on anything, and after only a few steps, the man and the tortoise started fighting again, shouting insults at each other.
Three days later.
A misty forest appeared before us.
This place is shrouded in thick purple miasma, never seeing sunlight. The tree trunks are twisted like dying giants, and foul-smelling pus seeps from the cracked bark.
The purple miasma clearly originated from these eerie trees.
After traveling several miles, the trees became increasingly bizarre in shape, with spiderweb-like vines hanging from their branches, covered with fist-sized growths.
What's disturbing is that these sarcomas slowly expand and contract with each breath!
Moreover, the raised outline on the surface resembles a human face, sometimes like a howl, sometimes like a sinister grin, which is extremely terrifying and gives one the feeling of watching a ghost movie in a past life.
"Are you sure it's safe to go any further in?"
Li Wudao felt disgusted and physically uncomfortable watching it.
This forest felt eerie to him, even more so than the Crimson Plains and Dragon Burial Mountain; every step he took felt like something terrible was about to happen.
What surprised him was that...
This time, the green-haired turtle did not hesitate and, amidst its sarcasm, gave a definite answer.
"Look how scared you are. This is called the 'Ghost Miasma Forest.' It looks scary, but it's actually not dangerous. You can even find opportunities here."
Li Wudao was somewhat incredulous.
Is this for real? In a place like this, it's a miracle there's no danger, let alone a stroke of luck?
"What kind of look is that, kid? Do you think I'm trying to trick you?"
The green-haired turtle noticed the doubt in the boy's eyes and immediately became displeased, buzzing:
"You're too inexperienced, kid. Forbidden zones of life contain special laws, but not all places are dead zones. Some are just empty shells..."
After listening, Li Wudao suddenly understood and gained a deeper understanding of the Sword Ruins.
"Come with me, I'll show you something today!"
The green-haired turtle held its head high and swaggered into the depths of the Ghostly Miasma Forest.
Behind him, Li Wudao followed closely, his expression still cautious, but a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.
An hour later.
The green-haired turtle stopped, stretched out its front paw and pointed forward, saying triumphantly, "Look, the opportunity is right here."
"This is?"
Li Wudao looked over with surprise and uncertainty.
In the center of the jungle stands an extremely large ancient tree, similar to a locust tree, with a diameter of about 100 meters and an insurmountable height. Its bark is covered with intricate "scars," bearing the marks of time.
Nine glistening fruits, each a vibrant color, hung from the tree trunk, radiating an astonishing aura even from a distance.
"This is the Five Elements Tree, formed from the condensation of the five elements of heaven and earth. It only grows in forbidden zones of life. Its fruit contains the innate energy of the five elements. After consuming it, one can cleanse one's marrow and replenish the missing five elements of talent."
The green-haired turtle explained, licking its lips.
The Five Elements Fruit is a sacred medicine. Regardless of its efficacy, its taste alone is enough to make people unable to resist it and to make them crave more.
"This turtle has finally been reliable for once."
Li Wudao's eyes were burning with excitement.
His current basic talent isn't particularly high, but if he takes the Five Elements Fruit, it might further enhance his talent.
Immediately, the man and the tortoise began arguing about how to divide the nine fruits.
"call out--"
Just then, a gentle breeze stirred, and the dark shadows swayed.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Seeing the bare branches on the tree trunk, Li Wudao and the green-haired turtle were furious and let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.
"Damn it, which bastard stole my Five Elements Fruit?!"
Nine fruits in total, all gone in the blink of an eye, not a single one left for them, that's just too despicable!
