Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Among this pile of jars and pots, which resembled a small mountain, a wooden box covered with sealing talismans was particularly conspicuous.

Chen Tian reached out with his right hand and immediately grabbed the wooden box.

Su Yingxue stood quietly aside, but she didn't seem interested in the wooden box in Chen Tian's hand, instead staring intently at the pile of bottles and jars filled with elixirs and spiritual medicines. After all, for a rogue cultivator like her, she needed these pills the most to improve her cultivation.

However, Su Yingxue was a clever woman. She knew that she could not touch these elixirs in any way before Chen Tian spoke. So, she skillfully restrained the fervent gaze in her eyes and stood motionless to the side.

Chen Tian had also been paying attention to Su Yingxue's movements. Seeing her so sensible, he nodded in satisfaction, then gathered all his thoughts and stared intently at the wooden box in his hand.

The wooden box was about three feet long and two feet wide, painted entirely in red lacquer. Even in the dark night, it appeared particularly bright.

What was even more surprising was that dozens of yellow talismans were densely affixed to the wooden box.

The purpose of these talismans was to seal the wooden box, preventing the aura inside from escaping.

The fact that so many talismans were affixed to it also indicated that the contents of the wooden box were extraordinary.

Filled with excitement, Chen Tian gently blew a breath, and immediately the talismans covering the wooden box fluttered down like snowflakes.

With a slight force from both hands, with a "snap" sound, the wooden box was opened by Chen Tian, and suddenly a red light shone out from the wooden box.

Chen Tian looked intently and found that this red light emanated from a pomegranate-like fruit placed in the wooden box. There were as many as seven of these fruits!

These fruits resembled pomegranates in shape, with a red skin, and a blood-like smell emanated from them, which was very peculiar.

"Are these the Yue Li Fruits?" Chen Tian handed the wooden box to Su Yingxue and asked her.

Su Yingxue glanced into the wooden box, then nodded very affirmatively and said, "That's right, these are the Yue Li Fruits, with a bright red color and a bloody smell. They are unique demon fruits of Yue Li Mountain."

After all, Su Yingxue had seen the Yue Li Fruits with her own eyes, so after receiving her confirmation, Chen Tian became even more excited. Just as he wanted to continue admiring them for a while, suddenly, Chen Tian seemed to sense something, his expression changed drastically, and he grabbed Su Yingxue and sped away towards the east.

About half a quarter of an hour after Chen Tian left, a huge black cloud of demonic energy flew to this place.

In the demon cloud was a huge cyan turtle, with a body length of more than a hundred feet, and its strength was even more unfathomable. It was obviously a ninth-order or higher demon beast.

After arriving here, it immediately stretched its head out from under the demon cloud and eagerly scanned the place where Chen Tian had just stood, as if looking for something extremely delicious.

After searching for a while, the giant turtle did not find what it wanted, and its expression could not help but become violent. After a moment of hesitation, it chased after Chen Tian's escape direction.

But after flying for a hundred miles, the giant turtle suddenly stopped, a look of suspicion in its eyes, glanced into the distance, then hid its huge body back into the demon cloud and retreated.

Heaven and earth returned to silence!

… … … … … … … … … …

Time passed, and unknowingly, a bright ray of light flashed out from the mountains in the east, dispelling the darkness of the sky.

It was the next morning.

About ten thousand miles away from Mingdong City, two figures, a man and a woman, sped past, disturbing the wild birds in the mountains and forests, causing them to fly away in droves.

After traveling for a while, the speed of the two gradually decreased, and finally landed beside a sparkling stream.

The man and woman were none other than Chen Tian and Su Yingxue, who had been fleeing all night.

As soon as she stopped, Su Yingxue collapsed on a huge rock by the river as if she had no strength left, gasping for breath. Sweat soaked her clothes and flowed down her neck.

After all, Su Yingxue only had the cultivation of the Spirit Induction Stage. Under Chen Tian's full-speed escape, her delicate body was almost falling apart from the impact of the enormous air pressure.

"I'm really sorry, I forgot that the Yue Li Fruits can attract high-level demon beasts, causing you to be frightened," Chen Tian said with an apologetic expression, looking at Su Yingxue, who was lying weakly on the stone.

At this time, Su Yingxue seemed to have finally recovered. She stood up again and shook her head, saying, "It's not entirely Senior's fault. Who knew that the demon beast would come so quickly? It's already extremely lucky to be able to escape safely."

Su Yingxue was extremely clever. She naturally knew that she could not blame Chen Tian for this matter. Moreover, Chen Tian did not escape alone, but also saved her. This was enough to prove that Chen Tian was a sentimental person, so what else could she say?

Seeing her so happy, Chen Tian also showed a smile. It was just at this time that he suddenly thought of something and asked her, "By the way, what are you going to do next?"

"This little woman hasn't thought about it yet," Su Yingxue shook her head and said, "Yue Li Mountain has sunk into the sea and will not rise again until three years later. During this time, I'm afraid I'll be wandering."

Speaking of this, Su Yingxue gave a self-deprecating bitter smile. Who told her to be a demonic cultivator? The world is so big, but there is no place for her to stay.

Chen Tian saw her like this, but suddenly chuckled and said, "I have a good place here, I wonder if you would like to come?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Su Yingxue was first stunned, then seemed to develop a strong interest, and hurriedly asked, "Well, Senior, please tell me, what is a good place?"
