Chapter 364: Spiritual Fruit Hot Pot

Crack, crack…

Shattering sounds that made one’s scalp go numb sounded in succession. Under the continuous attacks of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, the five stone pillars were instantly filled with cracks. In just a few breaths, the cracks had already covered the entire pillar.

“Roar…” The stone pillar was on the brink of collapse. The five black-robed men suddenly let out miserable roars and actually abandoned the long saber in their hands to squeeze out of the lightning net with all their might.

The stench immediately spread. The black-robed men’s skin and flesh were torn apart, but under the support of the Yin qi, they actually really squeezed out of the lightning net. They roared and pounced at Lin Xuan.

He turned his head to look, but he surprisingly did not move. He only curled the corners of his mouth and lightning appeared in his eyes.

“Little child!” Lin Xuan did not move, but Huang Hao panicked and hurriedly rushed forward, hoping to stop the five black-robed men before they pounced on Lin Xuan.

In an instant, the five black-robed men had already heavily stepped on the stone platform where the stone pillar was and were buried by the dust stirred up by the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.

“Little baby…” Huang Hao’s eyes widened as he recklessly charged into the dust.

The dust was dense. He rushed in as well, but for a moment, he could not see the situation clearly.

This situation only lasted for a few breaths of time. Then, he roared and waved his sleeve to drive away the dust that filled the sky.

As the dust retreated, Huang Hao’s heart sank.

The current stone platform was already dilapidated. Lin Xuan’s eyes were closed, and he looked weak. Opposite him, the five black-robed men stopped and still maintained the same strange posture.

“Little baby, little baby!” Huang Hao’s intelligent eyes were quickly filled with tears.

He slowly shook his head and squatted on the ground in pain. He could not believe what he saw.

Although he was young, he had experienced many life and death battles. Although he had felt pain in the past, the life and death separation before his eyes was the most difficult to accept.

The two of them had met several times, and Huang Hao had long treated Lin Xuan as his brother. Now that his best brother had died in front of him, this blow was no less than being struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.

Slowly closing his eyes, Huang Hao could not help but feel a little guilty. He immediately punched the stone platform ruthlessly. After a muffled sound, several cracks immediately appeared on the stone platform.

The punch did not seem to be able to completely vent the negative emotions in his heart. Immediately after, he suddenly punched again.

However, to his surprise, this punch did not land on the stone platform. Instead, it was received by a pure white palm. He suddenly raised his head and happened to meet Lin Xuan’s smiling eyes.

“Damn…” Huang Hao almost cursed like those elders in the Desolate Village.

“No way, no way. No one really thinks that I can’t do anything to these weaklings, right?” Lin Xuan shrugged and could not help but make a face at Huang Hao.

The two of them were like children in front of each other. Hearing Lin Xuan’s words, Huang Hao could not help but puff up his cheeks and punch him on the shoulder.

“Oh, gentler, gentler, it hurts.” Lin Xuan hurriedly begged for mercy, but his heart could not help but feel warm.

“Sigh, what’s this?” Huang Hao was a straightforward person, and his temper came and went quickly. However, in a few breaths, he hooked his arm around Lin Xuan’s shoulder and looked at the wolves on the ground. He immediately noticed the strangeness under the stone platform.

The stone array broke. The originally gloomy aura dissipated, replaced by pure and dense spiritual qi.

Lin Xuan shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.

Huang Hao chuckled. With the principle of doing things himself, he quickly moved a few rocks away. At this moment, colorful lights instantly blossomed.

“Wow…” Huang Hao could not help but cry out in surprise.

Lin Xuan’s eyes straightened, and a sparkling saliva was left at the corners of their mouths.

“These fellows from the Ascension Immortal Dynasty are really… really… wealthy.” Lin Xuan hurriedly used his sleeve to wipe away the saliva and said with schadenfreude, “I suddenly discovered that the people from the Ascension Immortal Dynasty have such wealth. This is really not easy to discover.”

“What spiritual fruits are you looking for outside? How laughable.” Huang Hao nodded in agreement. “With these things, the spiritual fruits outside are nothing.”

The light slowly stopped squirming, and the things inside slowly revealed their true appearance—Five-colored Golden Lotus, Wood Wither Vine, Vermilion Fruit… There were all kinds of Five-Element Spirit Fruits.

The two of them were stunned for a moment. Huang Hao was the first to attack. He pulled up his clothes and stretched out his hand, wanting to pick up a few spiritual fruits and stuff them into his clothes.

“No, no.” Lin Xuan hurriedly stopped him, “There are many people outside. This is not safe. There’s still a lot of time now, why don’t we…”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Huang Hao picked up a Vermilion Fruit and took a big bite. Then, he handed it to Lin Xuan, “Come, it tastes good.”

Lin Xuan took the Vermilion Fruit and took a bite before handing it back to Huang Hao.

The two of them ate one after another. A bowl-sized Vermilion Fruit instantly fell into their stomachs. Then, their sinful small hands stretched out towards the Five-colored Golden Lotus again.

“How can I eat this?” Lin Xuan bit down on it, and a bitter taste made him grimace.

“I know!” Huang Hao’s eyes lit up.

He took out all kinds of large and small bags from his sleeve. In the end, under Lin Xuan’s dumbfounded gaze, he took out a metal pot the size of a millstone.

“Spirit… spiritual fruit hotpot?” Lin Xuan could not help but laugh.

Huang Hao was indeed a foodie. He actually brought such a thing to eat with.

Although he was amused, Huang Hao’s cooking was indeed not to be underestimated. Under his fiddling, the spiritual fruits were thrown into the pot one after another. In the end, they really emitted waves of fragrance.

The two of them did not care about the heat. They reached into the pot and fished out the spiritual fruits to eat.

“Burp…” After about ten minutes, Huang Hao burped, “I think I can’t eat anymore, but I happen to have eaten my fill.”

“Burp, I think so too.” Lin Xuan smiled and looked at Huang Hao. The two of them laughed at the same time.

“I can’t even guess the reaction of those people from the Ascension Immortal Dynasty.” It was unknown if it was because he was eating too much or because he was laughing, but Huang Hao could not stand up straight. “When they want to eat the Vermilion Fruit, they will probably be furious. Eh, why is there only a core left of my Vermilion Fruit…”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they continued to walk towards another hall.

This hall seemed to be where the junk was kept. All kinds of treasures appeared endlessly. Although they were not as rare as spirit medicines and treasures in the treasure vault, they were all rare spiritual items in the outside world.

Huang Hao was clearly not interested in these spiritual materials, so Lin Xuan put them away without hesitation.

“It’s almost empty. Let’s go.” Huang Hao looked at the empty hall and could not help but shake his head.

“Wait.” Lin Xuan’s gaze slowly moved down, and the light in his eyes became stronger, “I suddenly have a bold idea..”
