Firefly Journey

In fact, the leader was right; rare and precious materials are often accompanied by extremely ominous creatures.

But that was no danger to Lin Yuanran at all. You have to understand that Lin Yuanran now, in terms of pure cultivation level, he can hold his own against some sect elders, and he still has many trump cards in his hand. As long as he doesn't encounter a god-level powerhouse like those in the Pan-Ancient World, he is fully capable of protecting himself.

Lin Yuanran stopped pretending and flew away, quickly reaching the tall Cloud Dew Tree, where he stood suspended in mid-air.

This scene drew the attention of Lin Xiaodan's teammates.

That can't be right! When did he become able to walk on air? That doesn't make sense!

Spiritual practice can never be measured by science.

These people have a good idea: use the Cloud Dew Fruit as bait, then lure out the Dry Land Black Tortoise, and finally drug it to profit from it.

It's a pity that this idea is now mine.

Lin Yuanran walked on air, approached the branches, and reached out to pick the fruit hanging on the tree.

Just as the leader had said, the ominous creature had indeed appeared. Lin Yuanran looked ahead and sensed the unusual nature of his surroundings.

From the direction the poaching team was standing, they could clearly see the changes happening around the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree.

From beneath the soil, several roots emerged at an extremely rapid speed. These roots were exceptionally thick, like long whips, launching an attack on the thieves who dared to covet the fruit.

These people were Lin Xiaodan's teammates after all, and they hurriedly reminded him: "Xiaodan, run!"

"The tree roots have come back to life!"

Ignoring everyone's reminders, Lin Yuanran continued to touch the fruit with his outstretched hand. With a gentle squeeze, the tempting and delicious fruit broke free from the branch and became Lin Yuanran's possession.

The thick roots that suddenly emerged from the soil turned charred black just as they were about to strike Lin Yuanran, and then turned into ashes and fell away.

Everyone was stunned!

Anyone with eyes can see that those roots are a self-protection mechanism evolved by the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree, and their attack power cannot be weak; it must be extremely strong.

How could Lin Xiaodan, an ordinary cultivator, possibly withstand it?

No, enlightenment doesn't happen that quickly; he's not Lin Xiaodan!

Who is he?

At this moment, everyone's expression finally changed, and no one bothered to remind them anymore; their expressions turned to terror as they looked at him.

Lin Yuanran turned to look at Lin Xiaodan's teammates and said, "Brothers, don't be afraid. I've already dealt with that symbiotic ferocious beast and made such a great contribution. Shouldn't I get a bigger share? Like, all the Cloud Dew Fruits or something?"

Everyone was on high alert!

This person is definitely not Lin Xiaodan.

In everyone's eyes, Lin Xiaodan was a timid and cowardly person, very docile, and would do whatever he was told. He would never speak like that.

Moreover, he certainly couldn't handle those terrifying roots.

The leader said coldly, "Who are you? What have you done to Little Coward!"

Lin Yuanran said, "He's fine, he'll just sleep for a few days. You should go and keep him company."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed, and their faces all showed a look of desolation and sorrow, as if they had lost their parents.

"Little Dan, may you rest in peace!"

"You coward, it's all my fault!"

"You coward, we'll avenge you!"

Lin Yuanran looked slightly taken aback. "No, I really just put him to sleep. Please don't misunderstand!"

They were all filled with righteous indignation; anyone who didn't know better would think I was a terrible villain.

Lin Yuanran didn't want to waste words with them. He put away the Cloud Dew Fruit he had just picked and flashed to the front of everyone.

The crowd, stunned by his teleportation technique, were knocked down one after another before they could even react, their faces still showing disbelief.

After knocking all these people unconscious, Lin Yuanran set up a powerful barrier around the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree to ensure that opportunists would not take advantage of him while he was leaving.

Lin Yuanran had set up a spatial node in advance at the place where Lin Xiaodan was unconscious, so that even if the distance was a little far, he could activate a miracle to arrive instantly.

Arrange the group of people neatly on the ground, and look up at the sky; it's almost dawn.

Before leaving, Lin Yuanran sighed and left a bottle of pills in the spatial barrier.

These are the Mighty Pills, entry-level pills that can increase one's cultivation level, which he has been slowly refining over this period of time.

Lin Yuanran has always been a moral person. Even though the cultivation world is full of deceit and murder and robbery, he believes that if you take something from someone, you must compensate them, even if it is very little.

Moreover, this is not just a moral issue. His teacher was Cassius, a man who dedicated his life to the well-being of people and the equality of all races. As his successor, if he had no personal morality whatsoever, wouldn't he be disgracing him? He would be completely unworthy to be his student.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Yuanran returned to the camp.

After being away for several hours, when Lin Yuanran returned, the person on duty had been replaced by Meng Buzheng.

Zhang Yu had clearly told him about Lin Yuanran, but he had always harbored hostility towards Lin Yuanran. Seeing Lin Yuanran return, he said sarcastically:

"Should I say that you're just a young calf unafraid of tigers, or that you don't know the immensity of the world? Running around the mountains alone in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of suddenly dying in some ravine with no one to even collect your body!"

Along the way, Lin Yuanran had long been used to his sarcastic remarks, so he wasn't angry and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. You don't need to worry about my affairs."

Lin Yuanran's answer was impeccable, and Meng Buzheng was at a loss for words. It seemed that nothing he said would be appropriate, so he just gave a cold snort.

Lin Yuanran was too lazy to argue with him. This kind of person's personality wasn't formed overnight, and a few words wouldn't change him. Let nature take its course. If he suffered because of this personality in the future, he would naturally restrain himself.

Gathering everyone together, Lin Yuanran made a startling statement, a bombshell right from the start.

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, to be honest, I went out last night."

Lin Yuanran didn't mind sharing his experiences, but he also kept some of them hidden.

“Last night I went to the bushes to poop and overheard a conversation between some poachers. They seemed to know a lot about cloud dew fruit and were planning to poison it and then…”

"I followed them for a while, but halfway there, they revealed their whereabouts and were arrested by the patrolling disciples of the Yantian Sect."

"I have an idea……"

Lin Yuanran said, his eyes shining.

Everyone's eyes lit up, completely believing Lin Yuanran's words and failing to notice the flaw in his statement. In the face of self-interest, many flaws are easily overlooked.

"That's wonderful!" Yuan Qingping exclaimed excitedly. "Junior Brother Lin has done a great service this time. We are disciples of major sects after all. As long as we act carefully, we might be able to secretly pick some Cloud Dew Fruits. If we're lucky, we might even run into Hong Xuan!"

Lin Yuanran quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes! Judging from the conversation of those thieves, the place where they were captured is not far from the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree. As long as we search in the vicinity, we will definitely be able to find it!"

"Great! Let's get going without delay!" Hua Zhi looked at her senior sister.

Meng Buzheng refrained from making sarcastic remarks, which was unusual. Although he looked down on the new disciples, he was more eager to complete the task as soon as possible. After all, the sword manual was written by Yan Jinglei, and even a glance at it would be incredibly beneficial!

After making their decision, Lin Yuanran led the way towards the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree.

Zhang Yu silently brought up the rear. He always felt that this extraordinary junior brother from Zhulai Peak was no ordinary person, but he couldn't find any reason to confirm it.
