Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"What you need, fellow Daoist, are not ordinary things!"

At this moment, Lu Tiandu secretly became wary and sighed repeatedly in his disguised identity, "Others think that the Netherworld Lotus, Dark Blood Crystal, or Thunder Source Fruit are legendary objects, but I know that these three objects are rare spiritual objects with unique uses..."

"It just so happens that I have something in my hand that is of no use to me at the moment, but I can use it to exchange with fellow Taoist."

Lu Tiandu looked confident as he looked at the fish shop owner:
"But would you please also take out the Qingluo Fruit and let me see it?"

As Lu Tiandu said this, he flipped his palm and a jade box appeared in his hand.

In fact, among these three items, except for the Netherworld Lotus, he has the other two in stock.

This dark blood crystal is also a blood treasure. It is one of the top spiritual objects that Lu Tiandu specially traded from the spirit clan for the ancient demon clone. It can be used in the future to refine the Hundred Tribulations Blood Drinking Sword or to strengthen the demon body.

As for the Thunder Source Fruits, Lu Tiandu still had quite a few of them.

This fruit contains the essence of thunder, and is of incredible value to those who practice thunder magic or to the thunder beasts that fish shops mainly cultivate.

This dark blood crystal is even rarer than the Thunder Source Fruit and has very few uses, so Lu Tian took out the relatively normal Thunder Source Fruit among the two items.

"Thunder Fruit! Is it real?"

Hearing this, the fish shop owner stared at Lu Tiandu fiercely, with an impatient look on his face.

"How can this be false? Please look!"

Lu Tiandu said this as he gently opened the jade box, but he closed the box immediately after he opened it.

"It really seems to be the legendary Thunder Source Fruit!"

Although the fish shop owner only took a glance at the box of purple spiritual fruit, he felt the strange fragrance and thunder power lingering in the air. He seemed a little worried, but he was sure in his heart that it was most likely the Thunder Source Fruit, and he was immediately surprised.

In addition to these surprises, Lu Tian also silently saw the undisguised greed in his eyes.

"This is the Qingluo Fruit in Yu's hand, please have a look, fellow Taoist!"

Seeing Lu Tiandu holding the jade box and looking at him indifferently, the owner of the fish shop seemed quite happy. He flipped his hand and another jade box appeared. He threw it to Lu Tiandu, "But be careful, fellow Taoist. There is a unique restriction of Yu in the jade box. If you move it carelessly and damage the things in the box, don't blame me for not reminding you..."

"Don't worry, if it's a real fruit, I can confirm it with my spiritual sense..."

Seeing this, Lu Tiandu took the wooden box and threw the box containing the Thunder Source Fruit in his hand over.

With a "click", the wooden box opened and a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted into the air.

Lu Tiandu looked over carefully and saw a fist-sized, emerald green peach-shaped fruit in the wooden box. There were even two strange light red leaves underneath.

When Lu Tiandu's huge spiritual sense, which was comparable to that of an early Mahayana cultivator, swept across the jade box, his face showed no change, but he cursed in his heart:
"He is indeed an old pervert!"

With his powerful spiritual sense sweeping across, he found that there was no Qingluo fruit in the wooden box, but a fruit core the size of a finger, and the medicinal fragrance was emanating from the fruit core!
"This bastard has really used up the Qingluo Fruit and even used illusion to deceive me. Is he still thinking of killing me, a cultivator in the middle stage of Lianxu, here?"

Lu Tiandu sneered secretly, but did not show anything on his face. He looked at the happy fish shop owner and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you should have confirmed whether Mr. Lu's Thunder Source Fruit is authentic? Now that you have confirmed it, remove the restriction on the Qingluo Fruit and let's complete the transaction!"

The fish shop owner, a Wuguang clan cultivator disguised as a Tianpeng, might be afraid of exposing his identity in a fight in the Tianpeng clan's trading hall, but Lu Tiandu did not have such worries.

He was already prepared. As long as he dared to remove the ban in front of him, he would kill the beast on the spot and let him die knowingly!

"This Thunder Source Fruit is indeed real, but you should have more than one Thunder Source Fruit in your hand, right?"

After hearing Lu Tiandu's words to remove the restriction, the fish shop owner did not take the wooden box back from Lu Tiandu's hand to remove the restriction. Instead, he played with the jade box containing the Thunder Source Fruit and suddenly said.

"Why? I do have more than one Thunder Source Fruit in my hand. Do you have other Qingluo Fruits?"

Lu Tiandu chuckled and did not say anything to deny it. Instead, he looked at the fish shop owner meaningfully.

This Thunder Source Fruit Tree can indeed bear fruit once every 30,000 years, and can produce three fruits each time.

In comparison, both the Thunder Source Fruit and the Qingluo Fruit are of astonishing value. If measured in terms of spirit stones, the Thunder Source Fruit may be more valuable. However, when bartering, a slight difference in value does not affect the choices of the two parties to the transaction.

"I have no more Qingluo Fruit, but I happen to have one Tianluo Pill left. Can I trade the Tianluo Pill for one of your Leiyuan Fruits?"

The fish shop owner said leisurely.

"Okay, can you please take out the Tianluo Pill and let me take a look? As long as you have the Tianluo Pill, the transaction will not be a problem."

Lu Tiandu sneered secretly. From this fake Qingluo fruit, he guessed that the fish shop owner must be using the same trick as before. As long as he dared to take out fake things again, he would take action.

However, he guessed that the fish shop owner probably wanted to trick him out of the trading hall and take action somewhere else to steal his Thunder Source Fruit.

Knowing that people are deceitful, they don’t show it in words. At this moment, Lu Tian is looking forward to the fish shop owner’s next performance.

"Fellow Taoist, continue!"

At this time, the shop owner threw the jade box in his hand to Lu Tiandu, "Daoyou, please take this Thunder Source Fruit first. If Daoyou trusts me, can you go to my cave with me?"

"The value of the Tianluo Pill is staggering, and I was afraid something might go wrong, so I didn't carry it with me."

As expected, the fish shop owner was cunning and treacherous. After returning the Leiyuan Fruit to Lu Tiandu, he did not remove the restriction on the Qingluo Fruit core on the spot to expose the fact that he was cheating, thus forcing Lu Tiandu to terminate the transaction on the spot.

He did not take back the 'Qingluo Fruit' in Lu Tiandu's hand, as if to show his sincerity, so that Lu Tiandu could not suspect that he was cheating.

Moreover, if Lu Tian does not agree to the subsequent transaction, the fish shop owner can also refuse the transaction by requiring two Thunder Source Fruits to be traded.

As long as Lu Tian wanted to trade this Qingluo Fruit, he could only choose to trade two Leiyuan Fruits at the same time. Needless to say, the value of the other Tianluo Dan was so great that no one could ignore it. In the end, he would have to follow the fish shop owner to his cave.

"Okay, the chances of this Tianluo Pill taking effect are indeed unpredictable. The more Tianluo Pills we take, the better. I agree to this!"

Faced with the fish shop owner's sincere behavior, Lu Tiandu naturally understood this person's routine. He smiled slightly and took the jade box.

"In that case, thank you for your help, fellow Taoist!"

The fish shop owner looked delighted.

After the two men left the shop, the fish shop owner casually cast a spell and no longer cared about the shop.

The two left the trading center and flew into the air. In just three quarters of an hour, they arrived at an extremely remote corner near the outskirts of the holy city.

There are obviously few buildings here, and there don't seem to be many Tianpeng people walking around, making it look extremely desolate.

The two landed in front of an inconspicuous low building.

This building is only about thirty feet high, divided into two floors, and has a gray exterior wall.

As soon as the fish shop owner's feet touched the ground, the door opened automatically, and two Tianpeng men in their twenties with Jindan cultivation level walked out immediately. They hurriedly bowed to the fish shop owner and greeted him:

"Welcome back, Master!"

"You two stay outside. No one is allowed to enter without my order."

The fish shop owner gave the order with a gloomy face.

"As ordered!"

The two men agreed without hesitation, and then immediately stood on both sides of the gate.

Lu Tian glanced at the two of them casually, without paying any attention, and followed the fish shop owner into the building.

The house is not big and all the furnishings seem ordinary. Three square wooden tables and more than ten wooden chairs occupy most of the space.

On the walls around the house, there were several yellowed ancient paintings, all of which depicted monsters, landscapes and the like, which was also not surprising.

The fish shop owner walked a few steps to an ancient landscape painting hanging on the wall at one side of the house. He shook his sleeves and suddenly a similar scroll appeared in his hand.

With a slight shake, the scroll unfolded, revealing the same content as the ancient scroll on the wall.

On the slightly yellow scroll, there was a dark green hill painted with what looked like a small building on it, but it was blurry, giving people an unusually hazy feeling.

"Hey, I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yu actually has the treasure of Xumi Space in his hand? This map looks a bit like the Xumi Cave Heaven Map of the Five Lights Clan?"

Lu Tiandu said in a fake tone.

His natal treasure is a space scroll, and he has refined many mustard seed caves with the girls, so he is naturally very familiar with the treasures of Sumeru space.

As soon as he entered the room, he secretly observed the situation inside with his spiritual sense. Apart from this treasure that faintly emitted the power of space, the other things were basically not important.

Although he had never seen the Sumeru Cave Heaven Map of the Five Lights Clan, he knew that this treasure should be the Sumeru Cave Heaven Map that the Five Lights Clan failed to refine in the hands of the fish shop owner.

Of course, even if it failed, judging from the spiritual power it emitted, it was still a top-tier spiritual treasure. As for the several Xumi Cave Heaven Maps of the Five Lights Clan, they were all mid-ranked spiritual treasures on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List, and Lu Tiandu had seen them on the list several times before.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lu has a good eye. No wonder he has such a rare fruit as the Thunder Source Fruit! It's just that I am familiar with most of the many flying spirit commanders of the Tianpeng Clan, but I haven't heard much about Fellow Daoist Lu..."

The fish shop owner chuckled and started to inquire about Lu Tiandu's identity before his true intentions were exposed.

"The Tianpeng tribe? Your name is a little strange! Shouldn't we call them our tribe?"

Lu Tiandu laughed and looked at the fish shop owner thoughtfully, "As for Mr. Lu's identity, does it have anything to do with this transaction?"

He looked impolite when he said the latter.

"It was Yu who overstepped the line!"

The fish shop owner laughed, but the murderous intent in his heart grew stronger.

With his status, he was surprised that a junior dared to speak to him like that. He was already prepared to kill Lu Tiandu later and feed him to his own thunder beast to vent his hatred.

At this moment, in order to dispel Lu Tiandu's doubts about the Xumi Cave Heaven Map, other changes occurred. The fish shop owner took the initiative to explain:

"This is indeed the Xumi Cave Heaven Map. However, this treasure is not one of the seven sets that the Five Lights Clan regards as the clan's treasure. It is just a flawed Xumi map."

"tell me the story!"

Lu Tiandu showed curiosity.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu is interested, I will tell you about it. I also learned about this incident by chance. Rumor has it that even among the Five Lights Clan, not many people know about it..."

"It is rumored that the Five Lights Clan used the spirit bones of the Five-Colored Peacock True Saint to refine not seven sets of Xumi Cave Heaven Maps, but ten sets."

"But unfortunately, there were some flaws in the refining of three of them, resulting in a significant reduction in efficacy. Therefore, these three sets were hidden very early and were not announced to the public. Due to various reasons, these three sets of Xumi Diagrams were eventually lost from the Five Lights Clan and fell into the hands of other clans. As for how I got this set, it is inconvenient to tell you..."

The fish shop owner had a mysterious and proud look on his face as he spoke the following words.

"I see. It is a great fortune that Daoist Yu can obtain this kind of Sumeru item."

Lu Tiandu said with a calm expression.

This kind of Sumeru treasure is of the top-level spiritual treasure level, and not every Mahayana cultivator can own one. The fish shop owner does have reason to be proud of it.

"Okay, let's go. This place is simple, and I have placed my cave in the cave. Please come and have a look, fellow Taoist."

Seeing that Lu Tiandu's face did not show the envy he had expected, the fish shop owner had a thoughtful look in his mind, and became more and more looking forward to Lu Tiandu's wealth.

As for the possibility that Lu Tiandu might be related to an elder of the Tianpeng clan, he did not take it to heart.

The worst that can happen is that I can just give up this identity and run away to another tribe!

Thinking that he could get at least two Thunder Source Fruits this time, his heart became more and more excited.

"can."

Lu Tiandu nodded.

Upon hearing this, the fish shop owner shook the scroll in his hand violently. In the blink of an eye, a five-colored light suddenly shone on the scroll. Then it trembled and turned into a cloud of light, which disappeared into the Sumeru picture on the wall.

The scroll in his hand was one of the important parts of the Xumi Cave Heaven map on the wall, and it was also the driving device. As he cast a spell, the scroll on the wall also flashed with light and emitted a large cloud of light.

Driven by the shop owner, the five-colored rays of light suddenly swept both of them into it.

Lu Tiandu did not resist and allowed the rosy glow to envelop him and sink into the Sumeru diagram.

The next moment, when Lu Tiandu looked at the surrounding environment clearly again, he found that he was now on a bluestone square on a green hill, and not far in front was a group of buildings of varying heights.

The sky was blue with only a few white clouds floating gently.

"This space is not big, but the spiritual energy is extremely rich!"

Lu Tiandu glanced at it casually and commented.

The space inside this top-level spiritual treasure-level Sumeru diagram does not seem to be large, only a few miles in size. It is surrounded by five-colored light walls on all sides. It is much smaller than the ten-mile-sized mustard seed cave in his hand.

Of course, compared to the larger Mustard Seed Cave, this treasure should have other functions.

After hearing what Lu Tiandu said, the fish shop owner didn't say much. He just said "please" and flew directly to the buildings not far away.

The two came to a three-story attic that was hundreds of feet high. As the fish shop owner cast a spell, a light gate appeared on the first floor of the pavilion.

Just as Lu Tiandu followed the fish shop owner into the light gate, as the light gate closed, the fish shop owner's crazy laughter suddenly came from the air:

"Okay, kid, stay with me today!"

The moment he opened his mouth, Lu Tiandu felt a dozen crystal clear needles transforming into a dozen thin silk threads shooting towards the back of his head.

At the same time as releasing the transparent needle treasure for a sneak attack, the fish shop owner spit out a silver dagger from his mouth. With a flash of cold light, it turned into a brilliant sword light over ten feet long and slashed towards Lu Tiandu's face.

"You are indeed a ruthless person! How dare you use fake goods to deceive me, Lu? I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lu Tiandu laughed loudly, and didn't care about the hidden weapon attacking from behind. He didn't move, but just opened his mouth and spit out a white sword light.

At the same time, a golden-purple vortex appeared strangely behind Lu Tiandu's head. As the vortex turned slightly, the silk threads that were shot out sank into the vortex and disappeared.

As for the silver giant sword, just when it was about to chop down Lu Tiandu, Lu Tiandu glanced at it indifferently, and the giant sword then hung motionless in the air, as if it was fixed.

It was Lu Tiandu who used the divine light to freeze the body.

At the same time as he used the Tiger Soul Xuan Zhen Sword to kill the fish shop owner, he also used the Wind and Thunder Prison Diagram and cast the divine light to freeze the body.

Of course, the target of the immobilizing divine light this time also includes the fish shop owner not far away.

"not good!"

The fish shop owner's wild laughter had not yet stopped when he suddenly found himself unable to move.

Just as he was shocked, his soul seemed to be targeted by something, and an astonishingly sharp sword intent seemed to come at him instantly, carrying endless murderous intent.

The next moment, before the fish shop owner could use his secret method to gain freedom, as white silk shuttled back and forth, his entire body instantly burst into countless blood rays, and a shrill scream suddenly came from the blood mist.

"Saint-level monk! Who are you?"

The void trembled, and the screams stopped suddenly. At a corner a hundred feet away from Lu Tiandu, a blood-red peacock several feet tall appeared suspended in the air with a ferocious look on its face.

Behind it, a peacock shadow a hundred feet in size quickly condensed with bursts of colorful light.

The one who spoke at this moment was the Bloody Peacock.

"Although I guessed that you were not a Void Refining cultivator, I didn't expect that you were really a Fusion cultivator. It seems that you also have a secret. I will know it after I search your soul!"

Lu Tiandu sneered and said nothing more. The mysterious light golden runes in his eyes flickered again as he stared at the bloody peacock.

At the same time, the Wind and Thunder Prison Diagram that had suppressed the silver flying sword also flashed, following the Tiger Soul Xuanzhen Sword, and covered the fish shop owner.

"Your Excellency really wants to kill us all. If so, I will give up tens of thousands of years of hard training and fight you!"

The fish shop owner was surrounded by blood, as if he had used a secret technique to break free from the control of the immobilizing divine light. Sensing Lu Tiandu's powerful murderous intent, he remembered that he had been immobilized by Lu Tiandu's strange method in the previous encounter, and his body was chopped off without any resistance. His two treasures were taken away. His eyes flashed with bloodshot, and he said angrily while pinching the magic formula with his hands.

In response to him, the white sword light mysteriously appeared again, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"Die together!"

His soul was locked once again, with no way to escape at this moment. After being hit by the sword again, the fish shop owner suddenly looked crazy when he saw the terrifying aura in the golden and purple vortex about to fall.

The spell just ended at this moment, and the blood-colored body transformed by the fish shop owner instantly merged into one with the huge phantom peacock behind him.

In an instant, an astonishing aura that only a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of fusion could possess surged out unrestrainedly from the huge peacock's body.

"Middle stage of fusion? You still have to die!"

As Lu Tiandu was speaking, a light golden line an inch above his brow suddenly shone brightly, and three god-killing spears shot out from his heavenly eyes in an instant.

"boom!"

With his enormous spiritual power in the early stage of Mahayana, he wielded the Spear of God-Slaying, and the battle ended without any surprise.

The next moment, amidst the thunder and the fish shop owner’s shrill screams, the half-dead fish shop owner was instantly sucked into the prison space by the golden purple vortex and suppressed... (End of this chapter)
