The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 281 Guardian Spirit Beast, Gift of Red Fruit (Request for Full Order)
Jiang Minghe was overjoyed and was about to go forward to check out the newly grown red fruit tree.

Suddenly, the gray smoke that the three people had inadvertently ignored suddenly rolled towards the fruit trees.

"Not good!" Zhou Handang shouted in a low voice, and magical light flowed around his body. He wanted to stop it, but he was a step too slow.

The gray smoke swirled, and most of the red fruits fell to the ground, then exploded into light red spiritual mist.

"You evil creature! How dare you!" Jiang Minghe was furious. A ray of blue light turned into a sharp blade and slashed towards the gray smoke.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed, and he thought of a possibility. He did not take any action, but only used his spiritual sense to lock onto the gray smoke.

Then they saw that the smoke seemed to have a spirit, jumping up and down around the red fruit tree, making Zhou and Jiang cautious and not daring to use any means of high destructive power.

It itself constantly absorbs the spiritual mist transformed from the red fruit, combines it with itself, and gives rise to new changes.

"It is indeed so!" Li Qing's mind moved, and a stream of Qingmu Zhen Yuan stopped the furious Zhou and Jiang, "Brothers, wait a minute!"

Zhou Hanguang stopped casting the spell and looked at Li Qing: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

Li Qing pointed at the crimson smoke and said, "This thing comes from the red fruit tree. If I'm right, it should be..."

Before he could finish his words, the smoke suddenly gathered towards the core and emitted a scarlet light.

"…The guardian beast of the Vermillion Fruit Tree!"

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, the red light suddenly retracted and turned into a gray puppy.

The puppy was surrounded by a faint glow of fire, with a bright fire in its mouth. It looked soft and cute, but its aura was very fierce.

As soon as it took shape, it stood suspended in the air, with its back to the fruit tree and facing the three people, in the posture of a guardian.

"Woof..." The gray puppy looked at Zhou and Jiang warily, and felt somewhat close to Li Qing.

Jiang Minghe was stunned: "What's going on?"

Li Qing sorted out his thoughts and explained the murals he had seen before in combination with the current situation.

"According to what you said, fellow Daoist, this little dog, like the two wild beasts before, is a guardian beast evolved from the red fruit tree itself?" Zhou Handang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Qing nodded: "That's right. I also suspect that the reason why the Red Fruit Tree was difficult to heal itself before was because the guardian beast from the same origin had died..."

"Now, I have used the Nirvana Fire to heal the Vermillion Fruit Tree. The fruit tree has a spirit, and it gave birth to a guardian beast again."

"Perhaps it was influenced by the Nirvana Fire. This newborn beast is also a fire spirit beast, different from the previous two wild beasts."

Zhou Hanguang's brows relaxed: "Then if we want to take this red fruit tree into our possession, do we need the approval of this little fellow?"

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "That's right. And you two fellow Taoists cannot use force."

"After all, it comes from the same source as the red fruit tree. If you are in a bad mood, it may affect the growth of the fruit tree."

Zhou and Jiang were suddenly at a loss.

Li Qing didn't care. After all, the transaction was completed after the fruit tree was cured. He took the Lingxiao Dan Jing with a clear conscience.

As for how the two won the gray puppy's approval, that was none of his business.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to turn around and leave, the puppy barked at him.

While keeping a watchful eye on the two of them, it turned its head and used its claws and teeth to pick three fruits from the red fruit tree.

Looking at the three red fruits handed to him, Li Qing was a little confused: "Is this for me?"

The puppy nodded and threw the red fruit to Li Qing, while being on guard against the other two, as if he was afraid that they would snatch it away.

Li Qing accepted it awkwardly and looked at the two people who were a little embarrassed: "This..." Zhou Hanguang came back to his senses: "Daoyou, this little guy is the incarnation of the Red Fruit Tree. He wants to give you the fruit to thank you for saving his life. You should accept it."

Jiang Minghe also said: "If it weren't for your extraordinary spiritual fire, this red fruit tree would be difficult to save. These three red fruits are what you deserve."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and rubbed the puppy's head, then took out a jade box and put the red fruit away: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

The little guy shouted happily, then ran back to the red fruit tree and continued to keep an eye on Zhou and Jiang.

Li Qing was afraid of causing another embarrassing situation, so he quickly flew over the top of the mountain and went to the pond to observe the murals.

After a while, Jiang Minghe flew over alone to keep Li Qing company and to observe the murals together.

Li Qing asked with a smile: "It seems that the little guy was handed over to Brother Zhou to subdue?"

Jiang Minghe nodded: "Yes, he discovered the secret realm. He instigated the wild beast. He also anchored the secret realm. Naturally, he has to deal with the guardian spirit beast..."

Li Qing did not comment too much, but was very interested in the method of anchoring the secret realm.

After all, after he tricked Xuan Jing back to Qinghe Valley, the Xuanjing Secret Realm was already vacant. If he could anchor it, it would be enough to double the Li family's fortune.

Jiang Minghe shook his head: "This is too difficult. On the one hand, it requires the special secrets of my Tanyuan Immortal City, as well as the matching spiritual tools."

"On the other hand, it can only be performed in a secret realm that is often opened. If it is opened only once every few years, it will be affected by the laws of heaven and earth and it is basically impossible to anchor it."

Li Qing said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He looked up at the orb in the sky and asked, "Did you two put it there, or was it there originally?"

The secret realms of the cultivation world, like the void treasures of the elf world, are not complete worlds, and naturally there are no sun, moon, and stars.

Generally speaking, the lighting of the secret realm comes from the reflected skylight of the world of cultivation, and the timing is synchronized with it.

The only difference between what Li Qing encountered over the years was the void treasure that sealed the Wind Scythe Demon.

The sun inside is transformed from the relics of the King of Light.

And this secret realm is the second exception.

Jiang Minghe shook his head: "It was there originally. We didn't put it there."

As if he knew what Li Qing was curious about, he pointed at the pearl and said, "Don't look at it as if it's hanging there, but no matter how high we fly, we can't touch it."

“Although this object is glowing, it is not releasing any spiritual energy or true sun fire. It is like a decoration.”

Li Qing thought about it and said, "Is it possible that the one above is not the real body, but just a reflection?"

Jiang Minghe shrugged: "Maybe. But I have no clue at the moment, so let's just leave it hanging like this."

Li Qing laughed in silence: "That's true."

After a while, Zhou Handang came over holding the gray puppy.

Compared to its vigilance when it was first transformed, the puppy seemed to become closer to him.

"This little guy is a big shot who loves food." Zhou Hanguang smiled and rubbed the dog's head. "I fed it a piece of third-level fire jade and it agreed to let me make a contract with it."

"What a big deal!" Li Qing laughed, "It was born from the Vermilion Fruit Tree and belongs to the Fire Element. The Fire Jade is indeed very attractive to it."

Jiang Minghe asked, "Have you figured it out? What kind of spiritual beast is this dog?"

Upon hearing this, the puppy woofed intelligently.

Zhou Hanguang translated: "It calls itself 'Huo Dou'."
