My Optimized Immortal Life

Chapter 256 Feathering Fruit

The main area that Chen Qing and the old turtle explored was the east side of the Great Wilderness Marsh. Eighty thousand miles to the north, they could leave the Great Wilderness Marsh and go to a place that they didn't know whether it was the territory of the Central Region or not. The south might be the territory of the Three Islands Alliance, so one man and one turtle could only explore to the east.

Most of the area here is endless water. Occasionally there is land, but it is only a few hundred meters of flat land with sparse trees and no mountains.

However, the surface of the water seemed calm, but in Chen Qing's spiritual observation, it was quite lively under the water. There were countless first- and second-level monsters, most of which were hunting and chasing each other. Chen Qing and the old turtle passed by the water. Even with the aura of the third-level monster released by the old turtle, no blind monsters came up.

"Old turtle, you have never been here before."

Chen Qing looked at the surrounding waters and suddenly spoke.

"This place is already deep in the Great Wilderness. There are countless monsters here, but we haven't entered the territory of a certain great monster yet."

After a pause, the old turtle spoke again.

"Back then, even though I, Old Turtle, had broken through to the third level, I didn't dare come to a place like this. I heard that the great monsters here all started at the middle third level, and that late-stage monsters were everywhere. Even if this was just a rumor, I, Old Turtle, didn't dare go in alone. I only dared to look around from outside."

Listening to the old turtle's words, Chen Qing did not express any opinion. Although the rumors might be a bit exaggerated, the concentration of spiritual energy here has indeed increased compared to other places. There should be a mid-level spiritual vein. If there is a monster cultivating in the spiritual vein, it would not be difficult to break through to the middle or even late stage of the third level.

If things continue like this, the number of late-stage third-order monsters here will indeed far exceed that of other places.

However, as long as there is no fourth-level demon king here, it will not pose much threat to Chen Qing.

After all, his cultivation has now stabilized at the late stage of Jindan.

His life-saving magic weapon, the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan, has also grown to the third-grade upper-grade level. Coupled with the amplification of the three-color spiritual flame, there is basically no third-grade monster that can match it.

The Three Spirit Mysterious Fire Fan and the Three Color Spirit Flame are also one of the biggest reasons why Chen Qing dares to walk here.

The man and the turtle gradually went deeper into it. Suddenly, a very special fragrance came over them. It made people feel clear-headed, refreshed, and as if they were ascending to heaven.

This is……

While Chen Qing was surprised, the old turtle had already spoken.

"This smell...yes, it should be the rare treasure that only produces one fruit per thousand years, the Feathering Fruit!"

It could not hide its excitement in its words, and then it realized that Chen Qing did not seem to understand this kind of rare treasure, so it immediately explained.

"Master, although this Feathering Fruit is only a third-level spiritual material, its effect is incredible. It can cause the demon beast's own bloodline to undergo a transformation and evolve to a higher level. Moreover, if this spiritual fruit is consumed during a fourth-level heavenly tribulation, it can increase the demon beast's chance of transforming by 30%."

At this point, the old turtle's words were full of excitement. For monsters, especially low-level monsters, the Metamorphosis Fruit was their only chance to change their fate. And for a third-level monster like the old turtle, his desire for the Metamorphosis Fruit was unmatched by any other monster.

The fact that a demon beast can cultivate to the third level shows that its bloodline is not ordinary. But even so, cultivating to the third level is basically their limit. Demon beasts with higher bloodlines will basically not appear in such a small place. And the green-scaled python that Chen Qing met at the beginning also relied on the mysterious demon text to make its bloodline undergo further transformation, and had the potential to break through the fourth level and transform.

After listening to the old turtle's words, Chen Qing became a little curious about the Feathering Fruit, but he did not want to take it for himself.

The reason is very simple. Most third-level monsters have a lifespan of at least a thousand years. If it is a late-stage third-level monster, its lifespan is at least more than one thousand two hundred years. The Feathering Fruit is produced once every thousand years, which will definitely attract many old monsters who have practiced for thousands of years. Although Chen Qing is not afraid, he does not want to be targeted by this big monster, otherwise even he can only run away.

So... he looked at the old turtle, smiled and asked.

"Old turtle, you should be able to sense the aura of those big monsters."

Listening to Chen Qing's words, the old turtle suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Yes, it is possible, but the distance has to be close enough."

It explored cautiously.

Hearing this, Chen Qing raised the corner of his mouth and told the old turtle his plan.

"In that case, let's take advantage of these great monsters fighting over the Feathering Fruit and raid their homes."

After he finished speaking, even a calm mind like the old turtle was shocked by what Chen Qing said.

While these great monsters are fighting over the Feathering Fruit, why not raid their homeland? Are you sure you won't get killed if you do this?

Although the old turtle thought of the consequences of doing so at the first time, it immediately thought of a doubt.

The lairs of these great monsters are hidden deep in the wilderness, covered by endless gray fog. Even it would not be able to find them unless it was very close. How could Chen Qing find their lairs?

However, since Chen Qing did not give it an explanation, the old turtle saw that he was confident and guessed that Chen Qing must have other special means. This made it even more worried.

Are you sure that if we do this, we won’t be caught and beaten to death here by these angry monsters?

Although Chen Qing didn't know the details of the old turtle's thoughts, he could guess some of it based on its personality, so he spoke to comfort it.

"It's okay. You can hide in your shell. We are both quite fast. It will take at least several days for these big monsters to fight for the Feathering Fruit. This is enough time for us to turn its nest upside down and then leave calmly."

"And," Chen Qing continued.

"Even if it really catches up with us later, with my strength, are you still worried that we can't defeat it?"

Upon hearing this, the old turtle silently shrank his head.

You are awesome, you have the final say.

It sighed helplessly in its heart as it silently gave up. It had to have such a master in its life.

As for how the man and the turtle would find the lairs of these great monsters, Chen Qing naturally had a plan in place.

His ability to see qi came in handy at this time.

When he was exploring the Great Wilderness before, because he was looking for a way to leave the Great Wilderness, there was no chance to use the magical technique of observing qi, which could observe all kinds of turbid air between heaven and earth. But now it is different.

No matter what means these monsters have, they cannot completely conceal their own demonic aura. Therefore, Chen Qing can rely on the art of looking at qi to squat around the Yuhua Fruit and see where those big monsters come from. Then follow the demonic aura left by them when they came, trace the source, and rush straight to their nest.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing immediately asked the old turtle to swim towards the location of the Yuhua Fruit. After all, their current location was still quite a distance away from the Yuhua Fruit, and the probability of encountering other big monsters was too low, so they had to get closer.

However, some cover-up is still necessary.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing took out several formation flags from his storage bag and hit them on the old turtle's back. The formation pattern spread, covering up the aura of both the man and the turtle. Even a great demon in the late third stage would find it difficult to detect.
