Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 192 I have the habit of taking care of my seniors [asking for monthly tickets]

Three different fruits appeared in the swamp monster's dirty palm.

Its scarlet eyes became more and more charming, as if constantly tempting Queque to make mistakes. Its voice was hoarse and low: "Which one did you drop... Is it this top-level spiritual fruit that will soon be on par with the fairy fruit? As long as you tell me, I will give it to you..."

Que Que was not very smart, but she was very greedy. She raised her head and looked at Lu Zhan pitifully: "Little Lu, I want..."

Lu Zhan understood what she meant and smiled warmly. His True Qi surged rapidly and condensed into a huge True Qi palm. He grabbed the three spiritual fruits and said, "Sorry, we dropped all of them."

When he first encountered the swamp monster, Lu Zhan was indeed a little worried, but that was because the Four Heroes of the Mo Family were present.

But now there are no other enemies around, and this swamp monster at the peak of the Mysterious Realm immediately becomes cute.

The swamp monster looked stiff and said angrily: "Young people nowadays, why don't you follow the rules! The answer is not like this, bring it to me!"

Lu Zhan still smiled.

...

After half a cup of tea.

"Hey... Sir, if you want to eat spiritual fruits, just tell me directly. I still have a lot in my cave below. Why be so vulgar?"

The tall swamp monster stood timidly beside Lu Zhan, with a forgiving smile on his face.

At this time, the mud around it had disappeared, revealing its white body. It was a white skeleton that was more than three meters tall. In the dark rain, it looked a bit evil.

"Didn't you run away just now? Why are you here again?" Lu Zhan asked while eating the spiritual fruit.

You know what...it's hard to imagine that there would be such delicious spiritual fruits at the bottom of this dirty swamp.

And it contains rich spiritual energy.

The swamp monster smiled sheepishly and said, "There were too many people just now, and I was a little shy... Now that I see there are only two of you, I can't help but want to come out for a meal."

"Who is the fan?" Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes.

"I am the food, I eat myself!" The swamp monster raised his palm and took a bite of his right hand, chewing it as crisply as candy beans.

Are all the monsters in this fairy island so aware of current affairs... Lu Zhan muttered in his heart and asked, "Were you a cultivator in your previous life?"

The behavior just now reminded Lu Zhan of the entrance tests of many sects. Such questions were usually used to test whether the disciples were greedy. The swamp monster's behavior might be related to his life.

The swamp monster thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I forgot... I only remember that I was a checkpoint set by the Fire Phoenix King. Anyone who passes through this swamp must undergo a test. Of course... even if you pass the test, you can't go through the swamp. How can you just enter the home of a divine beast? The so-called test... is just the Fire Phoenix King looking for fun when he has nothing to do."

Fire Phoenix King?

Lu Zhan was suddenly startled. It was rumored that the essence of divine fire appeared on the fairy island, but it had never been confirmed. But now the words of the swamp monster were undoubtedly the best proof.

This island is actually the place where the Fire Phoenix lived in the past?

"What about the Fire Phoenix King?" Lu Zhan asked. He was not afraid of the swamp monsters.

Some things will happen countless times once they happen for the first time. Now that the swamp monster has answered the first question, he will naturally tell all the others.

Of course...it doesn't have to say anything, Lu Zhan will beat it until it says it.

The swamp monster knew the situation very well and didn't want to be beaten. It fell into deep thought for a long time before saying, "Thousands of years ago, the Fire Phoenix King was attracted by a towering phoenix tree on this island and built a nest here to practice. That was a Fire Phoenix King with an extremely gentle temper. She made this island a pure land to prevent malicious intrusion by outsiders, and she also set up many checkpoints."

"I am one of the checkpoints. Even though my strength is not high, I was invincible with the power of the Fire Phoenix Queen... The Fire Phoenix Queen is at the fifth level, the peak of the Wuwei level. Later, she encountered shackles in her cultivation and fell into a deep sleep."

"Hmm...After the Fire Phoenix Queen fell asleep, the islands became deserted. Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. The Fire Phoenix Queen finally waited for the opportunity to break into the sixth realm. Unfortunately, she failed in her nirvana and fell into a weak period."

"The weakness period of divine beasts is different from that of humans. At that time, the Fire Phoenix King failed in Nirvana and was comparable to a young divine beast. She must survive this catastrophe before she can have a chance to be reborn from the ashes."

"But at that time... a human cultivator appeared. He took advantage of the weakness of the Divine Phoenix and took her blood essence... causing the Fire Phoenix King's life force to quickly drain away."

"I still remember that when the fire burned half of the East China Sea, before she died, she activated the ban on this island, as if she wanted to protect something."

"Unfortunately, without the support of the Fire Phoenix King, the restrictions around this island have been eroded by time and have become ineffective in recent days..."

At this point, a look of reminiscence emerged in the eyes of the swamp monster. It seemed to think of the divine phoenix with the sunset covering its body, which was so beautiful when it soared.

Lu Zhan was also greatly shocked. He did not expect that this island had such a history, and he did not expect that the divine beast Fire Phoenix was about to break into the sixth realm.

The sixth realm is the highest realm, the realm of divine consciousness. It is said that after reaching this realm, one will live as long as the heaven and earth and coexist with all things, but so far no one has heard of any human cultivator reaching this realm.

Even the Grand Master, who was praised as a demon in cultivation, was only at the peak of the Creation Realm, and had not even broken into the fifth realm, the Inaction Realm.

The Fire Phoenix clan was worthy of being the ancient mythical beasts, but unfortunately because they failed in Nirvana and fell into a weak period, they were taken advantage of by human cultivators.

And that human cultivator... Lu Zhan thought of the old man of the Qin family.

I have to say...the old man of the Qin family really deserves it!

Lu Zhan was not speaking for Fire Phoenix; he simply felt sorry for her.

Only one in ten of the ancient mythical beasts are left, and the ones that currently have a little bloodline left are only the Phoenix, Dragon, and Bai Ze clans. How can we not feel regretful when a divine phoenix that was about to break into the highest realm is killed in this way.

The stinky old man suffered from the pain of going astray and being buffeted by the power of the Fire Phoenix every day and night, he deserved it!

"So, there really is the essence of divine fire on this island..." Lu Zhan muttered to himself.

The swamp monster sat across from Lu Zhan in a quiet manner and said in a muffled voice, "After the Fire Phoenix King's flames burn, it does leave behind essence, but the essence of a divine beast is not something that anyone can take... It is left for future generations to use."

"The Fire Phoenix King has descendants?"

"I don't know." The swamp monster shook his head: "I can't remember many things..."

Lu Zhan fell into deep thought. Now everyone thought that the restrictions on this island were set by nature, but now it seems... the restrictions on this island were set by the Fire Phoenix King.

The Fire Phoenix Queen spent a lot of effort to open the ban before she died, which undoubtedly accelerated her death. So why did she do that... What was on the island that she wanted to protect?

But is he really the descendant of a mythical beast?

If it is really the offspring of a divine beast, there will surely be more brutal fighting on the fairy island. No matter whether it is the fairy sect or the imperial court, they all want to get the favor of the divine beast. If there is a young divine phoenix, this will be the beginning of a bloody storm.

It took Lu Zhan a long time to calm down. He stood up and bowed to the swamp monster: "Thank you for telling me, senior. I was rude just now."

“I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it…” The swamp monster’s mouth twitched, and its old bones still hurt…

This kid is good at beating old guys.

Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix King gave it eternal life. As long as the swamp does not dry up, it can revive even if it is killed.

"I have the custom of looking after the seniors in the world of immortal cultivation, so I must pay this respect." Lu Zhan asked again, "Excuse me, how many spiritual fruits are there in the senior's mansion?"

Swamp Monster: “…”

...

Lu Zhan left the Death Swamp with a lot of gains.

It is hard for anyone to imagine that under this dark swamp stretching for hundreds of miles, there are actually rare earth spirit fruits.

The Earth Spirit Fruit is somewhat like sweet potato, with a thin red skin wrapped around tender white flesh. Although it looks down-to-earth, its quality is far superior to that of fairy fruit. It's a pity that it is very difficult to find, so it is not well-known in the world of cultivators.

After all, who would venture into a swamp to look for such fruit?

The old senior was truly a good person. He gave Lu Zhan more than twenty Earth Spirit Fruits and was very grateful to him.

The swamp monster was very grateful to Lu Zhan for teaching it the world around it. Thinking back to the time when it was under the protection of the Fire Phoenix King, it had seen many cultivators here, but it had never seen anyone as shameless as Lu Zhan.

In the past, those cultivators might use force but they would not blackmail.

And once it dives into the swamp, the other party will not chase it. After all, it has already given in. What's the point of chasing it? Just go straight past it.

But Lu Zhan took a rope, tied it up, and pulled it out of the swamp.

Although it is a skeleton, its tied-up posture is quite seductive, which is really hard to describe.

The swamp monster then realized that times have changed. The world of immortal cultivation is no longer the same as it used to be, and the moral bottom line of these young cultivators is constantly declining.

Now that the Fire Phoenix King has fallen and the restrictions on the fairy island have been broken, this may be God's will.

The swamp monster decided to hide at the bottom of the swamp and never come out again.

……

The evening breeze blew gently and the heavy rain finally stopped.

The fairy island becomes cooler after the rain. The scorching summer heat seems unable to invade the island, and the temperature on the island is very comfortable.

Lu Zhan did not reunite with his teammates tonight, but practiced in a secluded valley. He and Xiao Que'er had gained a lot along the way. He had just separated from his teammates in the afternoon, so there was no need to reunite. It would be better for him to quickly refine the spiritual herbs to improve his strength.

No matter who the Twelve Land Alliance is helping, since the other party is targeting him, he must seize every opportunity to improve himself.

“I’m hungry…”

The bonfire was crackling. The little bird held its belly and looked eagerly at the steep cliff in front of it: "Can I go up and find something to eat? There seem to be bird eggs there."

Lu Zhan opened his eyes from his meditation and said, "Let the ghost go with you."

The closer they got to the depths of the fairy island, the stranger the little bird's behavior became. It seemed as if the little guy had really been to this island and could always tell where many spiritual plants grew. This was the real reason why Lu Zhan had such a great harvest.

This means that the little guy may have really been here.

In this case, it is not a bad idea to let her explore the surroundings. After all, she has never been a domesticated bird. Exploring in the wild can also enhance her strength. However, for safety reasons, it is better to let the ghost accompany her.

"Ding-ling-ling—"

The sound of the laurel bell was quite clear in the middle of the night. Lu Zhan shook it gently to summon the ghost.

"What's the matter?" Ramadan stood in front of him with his head bowed, his attitude respectful.

Lu Zhan called Xiao Que'er over and said seriously, "Que Que is going to do something very important. You follow her."

Ramadan nodded: "I understand."

Queque was immediately excited and clapped his hands, saying, "Let's go! Let's go steal the Fiery Eagle's eggs. The Fiery Eagle's eggs are delicious!"

The expressionless ghost staggered suddenly, his eyes showing some doubt about his life.

She looked back at Lu Zhan and silently asked... What did he mean? He summoned her out just to let her accompany this dead bird to steal eggs?

Lu Zhan closed his eyes again and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you follow me and wait for me to take you there?"

The ghost was so busy that he kept his head down and followed closely behind Queque.

The colorful hem of Que Que's skirt fluttered in the wind, but her footsteps were exceptionally light. She lowered her voice and said, "You lead the Fiery Eagle away later, and I'll go steal the eggs!"
