Immortals Step into Heaven

Chapter 5: Occasionally Obtaining Spiritual Fruit

Zheng Yuan wondered if this light curtain could be keeping out animals. Without giving it much thought, he passed through it and saw a rocky mountain several dozen feet tall. He was startled by the sight! Could this be a mountain within a mountain? An immortal's cave? There were cultivators in this world!

Zheng Yuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. After a few sighs, he bowed to the stone mountain. "I, Zheng Yuan, have inadvertently entered the immortal's cave. I hope the immortal will forgive me." After a long time, there was no response. Zheng Yuan called out three times, but there was no response. Perhaps this place really was deserted!

Regardless of whether there are people around or not, you still have to be polite. In case there are people around, you won't offend them if you don't say anything. Zheng Yuan said to Shi Shan again, "Immortal, I see that the fruits on your tree are very tempting. I'm a little thirsty too. I want to pick some and eat them to quench my thirst." There was still no response. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent.

Xiao Hei was watching a fool's performance through the light curtain at the entrance of the cave, with a confused expression on his dog face. He wondered what Zheng Yuan was praying to in the empty surroundings?

Zheng Yuan came to a small tree with two fruits. This must be the fruit that attracted Xiao Hei! The tree was almost as tall as Zheng Yuan, and it emitted a faint green light. The spiritual light flowed, and it was crystal clear. It was extraordinary, not like an ordinary thing. The fragrance was alluring, not like poisonous.

Zheng Yuan went forward and picked two fruits, and the small tree withered instantly. Zheng Yuan was frightened and returned to the small hole in the light curtain with the two fruits. Xiao Hei watched Zheng Yuan return to the hole with the fruits and happily wagged his tail and circled around Zheng Yuan with a flattering look on his face.

Zheng Yuan took out a fruit surrounded by spiritual energy and handed it to Xiao Hei, who swallowed it excitedly. Seeing that Xiao Hei had no problem eating it, Zheng Yuan also took the fruit and started eating it. It tasted very good, and it didn't take long for him to finish the fruit.

A green light appeared on Xiao Hei's body and surrounded him, which scared Zheng Yuan. At this time, a green light also emerged from Zheng Yuan's body, and the man and the dog fainted under the green light.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up again, I found that my body was covered with dirt, just like I fell into the mud. Xiao Hei was also in the same state, and he also emitted a foul smell. Zheng Yuan looked at himself.

Could it be that these are the impurities expelled by the spiritual fruit and the I Ching marrow cleansing? Seeing that Xiao Hei was wrapped in mud, it seemed that Xiao Hei had also been cleansed. The man and the dog looked at each other with shock on their faces, and then they calmed down.

Then I remembered that I didn't know how long I had been unconscious. I wondered if my father would be worried if he didn't come home. So the master and servant crawled back to the way they came in and crawled out of this small hole that looked like a dog hole.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, it seemed like they could still make it back. Zheng Yuan covered the cave entrance with grass. He looked around. Seeing nothing, he walked back home with confidence. Zheng Yuan remembered seeing a stream on his way here. A man and a dog, both filthy and uncomfortable, walked.

Arriving at the stream, Zheng Yuan first helped Xiao Hei take a bath. After washing, Xiao Hei shook off the water on his body and howled at Zheng Yuan a few times.

Zheng Yuan also jumped into the stream and washed himself thoroughly. As it was already dark, the water was only slightly darker. It was hard to see clearly, but the master and servant were both soaked.

Rushing home. Walking along the road, he found that he walked lightly and his body was very flexible. This might be the change brought by the fruit. When he arrived at the door, he found that his father had prepared the meal and was waiting at the door. Zheng Yuan walked into the house and called out to his father, "Dad, are you waiting for me?"

You know I'm waiting for you, kid? The meal is ready, let's eat together! Where have you been today? Why haven't I seen you all day?

Zheng Yuan didn't tell the truth, just made up an excuse to get away with it. His father didn't ask any further questions. He just told Zheng Yuan to remember to come back for dinner even if he was out late.

Lying in bed, Zheng Yuan couldn't sleep, thinking about the extraordinary cave dwelling in that mountain, and the fruit that could change a person's physique. He couldn't calm down for a long time, and at the same time, he felt a little secretly happy. It seemed that there might be cultivators or immortals in this world.

Zheng Yuan yearned for it. Who wouldn't want to fly, split the earth and split the mountains with a wave of his hand? He could move mountains and overturn the seas, roaming the world and achieving immortality? He'd returned in a hurry today and hadn't properly explored the cave. He'd have to wait until tomorrow morning to check out the cave. Zheng Yuan had covered the entrance with straw, so it shouldn't be discovered.

Zheng Yuan couldn't sleep at all that night. When it was dawn, Zheng Yuan took Xiao Hei to eat something, said goodbye to his father, and took Xiao Hei out. Although his father felt that Zheng Yuan was a little strange these two days, he didn't say much. Zheng Yuan took Xiao Hei into the mountains, but did not go directly to the cave.

Instead, they circled around and saw that there was no one nearby, then they took Xiao Hei and went straight to the cave. After they got to the cave entrance and took away the haystack, the man and the dog crawled into the cave and came to the light curtain. Xiao Hei couldn't get in either, so they asked Xiao Hei to stay here and guard it. Xiao Hei nodded. It seemed that Xiao Hei had eaten the green fruit and his intelligence had increased.

Zheng Yuan passed through the light curtain and came to the stone mountain and began to search nearby. There was nothing nearby except some grass and trees. Zheng Yuan did not give up and searched farther away. After walking half a circle around the stone mountain, he found a cave entrance, which was about ten feet high.

This cave was much larger than the one Zheng Yuan had crawled into. Walking into the cave, he saw a stone platform with a jade slip, a hide scroll, a jade box, and a round plate of unknown material. There was also a skeleton sitting cross-legged, with a sword stuck in the ground next to it. He didn't know how long this elder had been dead.

Zheng Yuan was a little frightened when he saw the scene before the stone platform. He immediately knelt down before the skull and kowtowed three times. "Senior, I came here unintentionally. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me. If you don't want the things around you, please give them to me! In return, I will help you rest in peace!"

After saying this, Zheng Yuan stepped forward and picked up the jade slip on the stone platform. This jade slip, like a bamboo slip, opened it. It read, "Li Wufeng's Travels. I am Li Wufeng, the Thunder Sword Immortal." At the age of ten, at the Ascension Conference, he was diagnosed with a rare spiritual root, the Thunder Spiritual Root. He was accepted as a direct disciple by an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect and achieved Golden Core cultivation at over two hundred years old.

There are five kinds of spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. There are also three kinds of special spiritual roots: wind, thunder, and ice. If you want to cultivate immortality, you must have spiritual roots. Without spiritual roots, you cannot cultivate immortality.

Our sect is located in Hunling Continent, Central Region Shenzhou. Because I wanted to inherit my master's position as the peak master, I was assassinated by my senior brother Yin Wuhui and was seriously injured. I fled all the way.

It was because he discovered this ancient teleportation array when he was traveling abroad in his early years. When he came here through this teleportation array, he found that he was seriously injured and was in danger of dying.
