In Ningyuan City, there were nearly three hundred thousand mortals.
Above the heads of these mortals, there was an invisible barrier.
"The [Transforming Life into Life-Fruit Grand Array]..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes, sensing the occasional strands of vitality in the air.
"With such pure life energy, it's no wonder it can form the [Life-Fruit] that increases lifespan."
This pervasive vitality naturally came from the mortals living in Ningyuan City.
"I remember, in the future, every residence of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has a defensive array that extracts mortal essence, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy."
"But compared to the current [Transforming Life into Life-Fruit Grand Array], it's like showing great kindness."
Li Fan's divine sense swept over the mortals in Ningyuan City, finding few elderly people.
"The [Transforming Life into Life-Fruit Grand Array] can absorb the vitality of mortals. Mortals growing within the array will also have their lifespans drastically shortened."
"Usually, they can live for about forty to fifty years, which is already the limit."
"At this time, the Immortal and Mortal Plague does not exist yet. In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are like livestock, subject to being taken or seized."
Li Fan's thoughts turned rapidly, but he made no extra movements.
Following Song Hesong, they arrived at the central part of Ningyuan City.
Here, the vitality became more refined.
It even showed a faint green color, forming flowing tendrils absorbed by a large tree that grew here.
On the branches, three heavy fruits were hanging.
They were crystal-clear and green, emitting a fragrance that made one's mouth water.
"Senior Brother, this is the [Life-Bestowing Longevity Tree]." Song Hesong took out a large seal and pressed it towards the front of the tree.
At the same time, he shouted, "Grant!"
Around the Longevity Tree, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.
The large seal collided fiercely with the barrier.
Dozens of rays of light gushed out of the large seal, then, like silver snakes, swiftly traversed the invisible barrier around the Longevity Tree.
"Senior Brother, please take action!" Song Hesong struggled to maintain the large seal, shouting.
Veins protruded on his forehead, indicating how strenuous it was.
Seeing this, Li Fan didn't hesitate. He stretched out his hand, and a purple seal instantly appeared.
"Hurry!"
The purple seal engraved on the invisible barrier.
Dozens of purple light snakes rushed out of the seal like before.
The purple light snakes chased after the previous silver light snakes.
Each had its own target, devouring them one by one.
After a moment, when the silver light snakes were completely absorbed, these dozens of purple light snakes emitted a faint glow.
Then, they circulated rapidly.
They formed a diagram of a purple thundercloud on the invisible barrier.
Li Fan, following the instructions in his memory, cast a spell that could only be produced by practicing the [Purple Sky Thunder Control Scripture].
Purple lightning flickered.
The invisible barrier burst open.
Li Fan activated the [Purple Sky Thunder Control Scripture], and the Purple Sky spiritual energy protected his whole body as he strode into it.
Arriving under the Life-Bestowing Longevity Tree, he looked up at the tempting Life-Fruits.
"This batch has good quality."
"With just one small Life-Fruit, you can actually increase your lifespan by three hundred years."
Identifying the Life-Fruits according to the methods in his memory, Li Fan couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
"It is said that the highest-quality Life-Fruits can increase lifespan by over a thousand years."
"Unfortunately, with the birth of the Immortal and Mortal Plague, it seems that this method of condensing Life-Fruits has become ineffective."
"These Life-Fruits, placed in the future, will undoubtedly be priceless treasures."
"I wonder if there's a way to bring these Life-Fruits back to reality."
Li Fan pondered while slowly picking the three Life-Fruits from the tree and placing them in a specially made jade box.
"What should I do next? Should I send these Life-Fruits back to the sect, or should I try them out myself first?"
Li Fan hesitated for a moment.
According to Chen Ying, all the gains in the Fallen Immortal Realm only existed within the Fallen Immortal Realm.
To bring them back to reality, specific conditions needed to be met.
And these conditions were different for each situation, requiring individual exploration.
Even if it was the same thing, encountering different scenes and situations could lead to different conditions.
It seemed to be related to the causal relationship involving the items.
And each time I come to the Fallen Immortal Realm, the locations that appear are different.
So, if I miss it this time, it's likely that I'll miss it forever.
This also caused Li Fan to become somewhat anxious involuntarily.
However, soon, Li Fan returned to normal.
"The greater the value of the item, the more stringent the conditions for taking it out. How could it be so easy for me to bring it back to reality?"
Smirking to himself, Li Fan made a decision.
"I should go back to the Purple Cloud Sect first and see if there's any opportunity."
"But I don't know if there's enough time."
At this point, Li Fan left the protective barrier of the Life-Bestowing Longevity Tree, preparing to call Senior Brother Zhang and return to the Purple Cloud Sect.
"Boom!"
Just at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from Ningyuan City.
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat as he looked in the direction of the noise.
"Chixia!" Zhang Qianmo's mournful cry came from afar.
"You're seeking death! Don't even think about leaving!" Accompanied by his furious voice, a black light shot up into the sky.
Immediately after, Zhang Qianmo turned into a purple light, chasing closely behind.
Li Fan suddenly felt a bad premonition.
He quickly followed.
And Song Hesong followed closely behind.
"Senior Brother, calm down! Be careful, it might be a trick!" Li Fan transmitted his voice through divine sense.
But Zhang Qianmo was obviously consumed by anger, losing his rationality.
He ignored Li Fan's dissuasion.
He continued to chase the black light stubbornly.
Flying into the sky, the black light suddenly stopped.
He looked down at Zhang Qianmo, who was anxious below, revealing a sinister smile.
"Friends, why not show yourselves!"
In an instant, three more figures appeared beside the black silhouette.
They formed a formation, tightly surrounding Zhang Qianmo who had plunged into the encirclement.
"Senior Brother! Long time no see!"
The black figure laughed heartily, extremely pleased with himself.
At this moment, Zhang Qianmo realized that he had been tricked, his face turning gloomy.
"Senior Brother? Do I know you?" He stared at the opposite side for a while, a little puzzled.
"You..." The black figure seemed to be greatly insulted, suddenly becoming excited.
"Relying on being a Thunder Spirit Root, you act so arrogantly!"
"Even Chu Liang, who once entered the sect with you and was later humiliated by you, can't recognize you!"
Zhang Qianmo, hearing this, recalled something.
His body trembled, and he exclaimed, "You're Chu Liang? How is that possible!"
"You didn't have a spiritual root and couldn't cultivate, so you were expelled from the sect, right?! How do you now have a Foundation Establishment cultivation?"
Chu Liang raised his head and laughed loudly, "No spiritual root means you can't cultivate?"
"That's right, but that was in the past!"
He showed a fanatical expression, "Nowadays, the Immortal Ancestor has passed down new methods, and everyone can cultivate."
"And, our cultivation speed is even faster than you old relics!"
"You, with the Thunder Spirit Root, cultivated for more than ten years longer than me, and now you're still at the same realm as me!"
Zhang Qianmo's face showed disbelief.
"Everyone can cultivate? That's nonsense!"
Chu Liang sneered, "Pitiful. Once you lose your proud cultivation qualification, what do you have left?"
Then he looked at Zhang Qianmo harshly, "Back then, I kneeled in front of your door for three days and three nights, almost ruining my legs."
"I only hoped you would accept me and let me stay in the sect."
"You remained indifferent, even ridiculing and humiliating me to the fullest extent."
"The humiliation of that day will be washed away with your blood today!"
"Friends, let's attack together!"
