Chapter 501: 274, I really didn't expect this to unfold.
Realizing that she was inferior to a mere fruit, the little girl naturally felt discontent and disbelief, so she began to try, but soon, as a bump appeared on her smooth forehead, she had no choice but to admit defeat.
"What is this thing?" Dongdong puffed her cheeks, her eyes filled with hostility toward the fruit that resembled a peach but radiated a five-colored halo.
Tan Shuchang did not immediately respond; he first removed the strange power from the girl's forehead and then spoke, "Immortal Peach, a very common Immortal Fruit, eatable by those with the cultivation level of a True Immortal."
"Common?"
Dongdong immediately glanced at Tan Shuchang, feeling that the demonic cultivator was mocking her, but she had no proof.
Seeing her reaction, Tan Shuchang also glanced back at her.
He didn't understand why this girl, already over forty, suddenly decided to act cute.
Moreover, at her age, why act cute at all.
Look at him, how composed he is!
"Alright, off you go!"
However, ultimately, Tan Shuchang did not say much more, merely flicking his sleeves and walking away, for he was in the midst of a strong burst of inspiration. He did not need the Spirit of Immortal Technique, as the most suitable Immortal Technique for him was already cultivating within.
Seeing the demonic cultivator leave, Dongdong took out a magical treasure.
It was shaped like an ear of grain.
Indeed, it was the spiritual treasure born from the Blood Pool, which Tan Shuchang had given to this little girl. After so many years, because it lacked the nourishment of the Blood Pool and its holder had not yet become an immortal, it remained a common magical treasure.
However, even though this grain-like magical treasure had almost no offensive capabilities, its supportive abilities were rarely matched.
In an instant, twenty thousand years of cultivation were added to her.
The ordinary Immortal Fruit "Immortal Peach" that was bouncing just now immediately shattered, transforming into a cup of juice, which the girl drank in one gulp.
After sipping, feeling her limbs and bones incredibly relaxed, the girl couldn't help but believe the demonic cultivator's words.
It really was just a common Immortal Fruit.
Because her own cultivation was still the pitiful few hundred years.
Indeed, her mana suddenly burst forth, but due to her limited cultivation, it reached its limit and had to overflow, turning into nourishment for her body.
Then, Dongdong looked towards these treasures.
Originally silent, the Immortal Fruits, feeling the gaze of this "fierce little girl," immediately rolled and scrambled to their designated spots.
Though going there meant they might be eaten, not going would definitely lead them to be juiced immediately.
With twenty thousand years of cultivation added to her, Dongdong's strength made even those treasures at the Heavenly Gang level somewhat apprehensive.
After all, even though these treasures were sentient, they weren't very intelligent.
Soon the Sweeping Skies Celestial Banquet was convened.
A good number of True Immortals attended, not only from the Land of the Four Pillars, where the Righteous True Immortals of Earthly Slaughter came from, but also from within the Immortal Court.
These attending True Immortals, though heavily motivated by self-interest and devoid of any Immortal Path aura, caused no disturbances throughout. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
After all, although the Celestial Banquet was presided over by a mere junior cultivator, the forty-nine Righteous True Immortals of Earthly Slaughter and two Heavenly Gang Orthodox True Immortals present exerted considerable pressure on the attending True Immortals.
The banquet did not last long, and the True Immortals, who had taken away the Immortal Fruits from the banquet, were delighted, feeling fortunate for attending.
The only regret was that they had not seen the true master of this "Minor Immortal Realm."
But no matter, there would be a second Sweeping Skies Celestial Banquet!
With this first batch of True Immortals returning, the Immortal Fruits of the Sweeping Skies Celestial Banquet were spread throughout the Land of the Four Pillars, and many True Immortals in the Immortal Court also heard of this.
These Immortal Fruits, in different hands, naturally had different effects.
In the hands of certain demonic cultivators, they could only be used to trade for the souls of Ghost Path True Immortals. In the hands of a weak and playful little girl, they could only be juiced.
But in the hands of these True Immortals who had cultivated for many years, their use was naturally great.
They could be used for alchemy, nurtured into Immortal Treasures, or even used to formulate arrays or refine them into external embodiments...
In the absence of accessible Immortal Techniques, anything that could enhance their capabilities was maximized by these True Immortals.
Although Qing Mu Immortal had many Immortal Techniques, what was Qing Mu Immortal's status?
The Immortal Techniques Tan Shuchang was about to give up were also obtained through his Immortal status. The spirit of his first Immortal Technique, although an accident, was also taken from another True Immortal.
Thus, even within the Immortal Court, if one disregards borrowed Immortal Techniques, at least seventy percent of True Immortals lack their own Immortal Techniques!
Therefore, the Minor Immortal Realm suddenly became the favored "Immortal Realm" for many.
After all, although the Immortal Court's Celestial Banquet exceeded this Sweeping Skies Celestial Banquet in terms of scale and offerings, how many True Immortals could enjoy the Immortal Court's Celestial Banquet?
And those who attended the banquet in the Minor Immortal Realm were those who did not qualify for the Immortal Court's banquet.
One was a banquet that could only be glimpsed from afar under threat of punishment, the other was a banquet where one could feast—clearly, the better choice was obvious.
Things you can't possess, no matter how good, are of no use to you.
And Tan Shuchang's generosity was naturally not without reason.
