Xiaoxiao.

"The Vermilion Fruit exudes a unique aura, but usually only those with the Golden Core stage cultivation can keenly perceive its presence. However, nothing is absolute, and there are always exceptions. Coincidentally, the memory that appeared in my mind happened to record a rather wondrous method," Wu Ren recounted unhurriedly.

"Oh? What kind of amazing method is it? Tell me quickly!" Ying Yue's eyes widened, and she asked with great curiosity.

Wu Ren smiled slightly and then explained, "We all know that the Vermilion Fruit has a strong affinity for the powerful, but that's not entirely accurate. To be precise, the Vermilion Fruit has an unusually strong preference for a certain special component in the blood of the strong. Especially the blood of cultivators, which is an irresistible and fatal temptation for the Vermilion Fruit."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Such bizarre creatures actually exist? It's unbelievable!"

Wu Ren shook his head, indicating that he also only had a vague understanding: "That is indeed how it is described in the memory I have. As for why the Vermilion Fruit exhibits such peculiar habits, I am also completely clueless."

After a brief pause, Ying Yue suddenly had a new idea and raised a new question: "According to what you're saying, is it possible that the Vermilion Fruit might actively come to the human world to seek out cultivators?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Ren looked at Ying Yue with a puzzled expression, completely baffled. He really didn't understand why Ying Yue would suddenly say such a thing.

Ying Yue frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Think about it carefully. If the assumption we made before is true, then there can't possibly be only one Vermilion Fruit in the Wilderness, right? Since there is more than one, there is no reason why only one of them would be chased to the point of having nowhere to run and finally flee into the human world in a panic."

After listening, Wu Ren thought for a moment and then replied, "Hmm... I think this is actually quite easy to explain."

Even if there is indeed more than one Vermilion Fruit in the wilderness, they may not all ripen at the same time.

Moreover, there might be another possibility: that at a specific time, a vermilion fruit that was about to ripen was accidentally discovered by a wild beast.

Therefore, doesn't it make sense that only one Vermilion Fruit ultimately escaped into the human world?

After listening to Wu Ren's analysis, Ying Yue nodded and muttered to herself, "It seems to make some sense."

At this moment, Kuang Zheng, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly chuckled and then slowly said, "Hehe... I'm telling you two, stop making wild guesses here."

Before things are fully understood, any assumption may seem valid, but how much practical significance does it have? After all, an assumption is just an assumption.

Instead of endlessly making various assumptions, it's much easier and more comfortable to simply not think about anything at all.

As the saying goes, "There's always a way out," and "Things will work themselves out." The truth will come to light eventually.

He thought to himself that Zhu Guo's peculiar fondness for fruit was truly strange.

The more he thought about it, the more unusual it seemed, as if it could further confirm his previous speculation that the appearance of the Vermilion Fruit was a carefully planned conspiracy.

However, having just warned everyone against making wild guesses, it would be extremely inappropriate for me to propose an even more absurd hypothesis now.

Therefore, Kuang Zheng could only keep this suspicion to himself and did not intend to reveal it to others.

Fortunately, now that they have mastered this method, the three of them no longer have to passively wait for their fate.

The most crucial task at present is to fully restore one's strength as soon as possible. Once the time is right, one can turn the tide and launch a fierce counterattack.

Instead of aimlessly pondering various possibilities here, it would be better to seize the time to recuperate, improve one's cultivation, and return to optimal condition as soon as possible.

After a period of quiet rest, Ying Yue and Wu Ren's injuries have largely healed, with them recovering to about 70-80% of their original condition.

Now that they had come up with a feasible solution, Kuang Zheng naturally did not hesitate at all and decisively took out all kinds of precious spiritual items that the three of them had collected over the past few days.

Undoubtedly, these rare treasures will finally play their due role at this moment.

Having figured this out, the group began their full-scale recovery process...

“Po…” Accompanied by a deep and long sound, the Medicine Buddha’s body, which had been shining with brilliant light, began to gradually turn pale.

The aura emanating from its body dimmed at a visible speed until it disappeared completely.

During this time, the precious spiritual objects that had been absorbed and stored by the Medicine Buddha were now pouring out like water bursting its banks, continuously flowing into Kuang Zheng's body.

However, these rare and powerful spiritual objects were completely consumed in a short period of time.

After Kuang Zheng had absorbed the last bit of spiritual energy with great eagerness, the Medicine Buddha finally completed its mission.

With a soft, crisp sound, the tall and majestic body of the Medicine Buddha shattered instantly, turning into countless tiny fragments scattered all over the ground.

Just then, Kuang Zheng, who had been sitting quietly on the ground, suddenly trembled, and then an extremely powerful aura burst forth from his body.

This aura swept outwards like a surging ocean wave, bringing with it gusts of howling wind.

Ying Yue and Wu Ren, who were standing not far away, were the first to be hit and were forced to retreat repeatedly by the powerful aura.

They both felt a sudden throbbing in their hearts, as if an invisible hand was gripping their hearts tightly, making it difficult for them to breathe.

This feeling was something they had never experienced before in their lives. Even when facing some highly skilled seniors, they had never felt such heavy pressure.

However, after a brief moment of shock, Ying Yue and Wu Ren quickly showed expressions of ecstatic joy.

Because they were very clear that Kuangzheng's greatly increased strength was undoubtedly great news for the entire team.

Especially as they are about to step into the perilous wilderness, every bit of extra strength increases their chances of survival.

Thinking of this, Ying Yue and Wu Ren couldn't help but exchange a glance, their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
