The Earth Trampling Bull started running towards Xu Ming with its horns pointed towards him.Xu Ming didn"t go in a physical clash and simply used the 1st Strikes of Heaven.
The sword left a dark trail of light as it slashed ahead. The bright arc of light left the sword and moved towards the Earth Trampling Bull, leaving hot wind behind as it grazed through the wind.
The Earth Trampling Bull saw the bright trail of light coming towards it and instead of clas.h.i.+ng with it, it changed its direction as it tried to dodge the attack, but it failed. Although it saved its head, the attack left a deep b.l.o.o.d.y wound on its body.
Blood dripped down to the ground slowly from the wound. The Earth Trampling Bull"s eyes turned blood red as it once again ran towards Xu Ming.
Although the Earth Trampling Bull that Xu Ming faced was a Gold Realm Beast, it was one of the easiest Gold Grade Beasts when it came to hunting as it was said that the Earth Trampling Beast knew no skills. All it was able to do was to use brute force.
It was said to be a wild beast that didn"t use it"s brain when fighting. That"s why the cultivators preferred to fight it instead of fighting any other Gold Realm Beast.
Xu Ming again used the 1st Strike of Heaven against the Earth Trampling Bull but the Earth Trampling Bull didn"t dodge it as it had lost whatever sense of reasoning it had.
The attack pa.s.sed through the neck of the Earth Trampling Bull and separated its head from its body.
"That was much easier than I had expected," Xu Ming thought with a frown as he saw the body of the Earth Trampling Bull fall down to the ground.
He turned back to look towards Sui Ru and saw her standing near a tree looking at him as if she was looking at a monster. She was so shocked to see that Xu Ming was able to kill a Gold Grade Beast so easily.
"I completed my mission. I"m leaving," Xu Ming told her before he started walking towards the exit.
"Hey, wait for me," Sui Ru called out as she chased after him.
Xu Ming walked through the Profound Beast Valley and just as he was close to leaving the valley, he saw a small tree. The tree was only as tall as Xu Ming. The tree had many branches but no leaves.
What attracted Xu Ming"s attention the most was the small yellow fruit that was hanging on one of its branches.
Xu Ming stepped towards the tree and picked the small yellow fruit. It was a fruit that he had never seen before, but it was something that intrigued him the most. He could feel that the fruit had some traces of Origin Energy.
"Do you know which fruit it is?" He asked Sui Ru who was standing behind him.
"This fruit? If I"m not wrong, it"s the Yellow Nature Fruit. Although it"s edible, there are no particular uses for it. In fact, it is said that there is no fruit as useless as the Yellow Nature Fruit on this Earth. Every fruit contains at least a small bit of Natural Qi, but this fruit has none," Sui Ru answered Xu Ming.
"It"s edible?" Xu Ming muttered as he brought the fruit closer to his mouth and ate it.
He finished eating the fruit and that"s when he felt as if his body was being filled with Origin Energy.
In less than a minute, he achieved a breakthrough. He had broken through to the 6th Stage of Spirit Establishment Realm in just an instant.
"It has so much Origin Energy. I need to find more fruits like this," Xu Ming thought as he looked at the tree.
"Is it a common fruit? Where can I get more Yellow Nature Fruits?" Xu Ming asked Sui Ru.
"Although it"s a useless fruit, it is indeed rare. I"ve read that it grows in random places. The only thing that"s commonly known about it is that if you find a Yellow Nature Fruit tree in an area, you won"t find a second one in a hundred miles range," Sui Ru explained to Xu Ming.
"2 Yellow Nature Fruit trees can"t grow in a hundred miles area?" Xu Ming asked as he glanced back at her.
"Yeah, well, that"s just an estimate. When it comes to it, it"s possible that you won"t be able to find another tree like this in a 10000-mile radius. As I said, these trees are impossible to find. They only bear 1 Yellow Nature Fruit and when that fruit is taken, the Tree starts dying," She replied.
"Is there no way to save the tree?" He asked her.
"Nope. And even if you saved the tree, a second fruit won"t appear," She replied.
"Is there no market or place where I can get another fruit like this?" He asked her.
"There is no place like that. As I said, this fruit is useless fruit. Even if someone finds the fruit, they won"t take it to the market to sell it as they won"t even be able to get a bronze coin for it," She replied.
Xu Ming nodded his head in disappointment as he left the place.
Xu Ming looked somewhat upset as he stepped out of the Profound Beast Valley.
"Hey, do you really like the taste of the Yellow Nature Fruit so much? I think I"ve heard about a Yellow Nature Fruit tree being in our sect," Sui Ru said.
"Hmm? Where?" Xu Ming asked her as he looked back.
"I heard that Elder Wu has a small garden. There"s a Yellow Nature Fruit tree there," She answered him.
"Elder Wu? Alright thanks," Xu Ming said before he got on top of his Wild Eagle Beast and left.
"It"s so strange that he"s so eager to get a useless fruit, but I don"t mind. People have strange hobbies," Sui Ru chuckled, but she suddenly stopped as she remembered something, "He left! He didn"t even finish our talks about marriage,"
Sui Ru got on top of his flying beast and left the Profound Beast Valley as well.
After a long trip, Xu Ming got back to the sect.
The first place he went to was the Courtyard of Elder Wu.
Xu Ming knocked on the door of Elder Wu"s place and it was opened by the same old servant as the last time.
The Servant recognized Xu Ming and without him having to say anything, he brought him to Elder Wu.
"Elder Wu," Xu Ming called out as he stood outside Elder Wu"s door.
"Ah, Ming? Come on inside," Elder Wu replied.
Xu Ming opened the door and entered his room. He found Elder Wu sitting in a meditative position.
"Did I disturb Elder"s Cultivation?" Xu Ming asked as he saw Elder Wu like that.
"No, it"s nothing. I just finished my cultivation. You came at the right time. Tell me what brought you here? Is someone troubling you in the Inner Sect? I can talk to some people there," Elder Wu said, smilingly.
"There"s no problem, Elder. I"m here for a completely different reason. I heard that you have a Yellow Nature Fruit tree. I was just wondering if that was true," Xu Ming asked without any hesitation.
"It"s true. Do you want the tree? You can take it if you need it," Elder Wu told Xu Ming.
"I need the Yellow Nature Fruit from it," Xu Ming told him.
"Yellow Nature Fruit? Ah, of course. You can take it," Elder Wu replied.
"Si?" Elder Wu called out. Immediately the old servant entered the room.
"Take Little Ming to my garden. He needs a fruit. Let him take whichever fruit he wants," Elder Wu said.
"Yes Master," The old servant responded before he took Xu Ming with him.
Xu Ming was brought to a beautiful garden that contained many beautiful trees and plants.
"This is the garden of Master," the servant informed Xu Ming, but Xu Ming"s attention was over something else entirely.
He was looking at the Yellow Nature Fruit tree which looked similar to the one he had seen in the Profound Beast Valley.
He stepped towards the tree and observed the Yellow Nature Fruit before he picked it and ate it.
He felt another burst of energy inside his body. Although it didn"t make him have an instant breakthrough like last time, he could feel that he was near a breakthrough.
He could feel that after a night of cultivation, he would become a 7th Stage Spirit Establishment Realm cultivator.
"Thanks for showing me the place. I"m done. I"ll take my leave," Xu Ming said to the servant before he left the garden.
He climbed on his Wild Eagle Beast and left the place. Soon, he entered the Inner Sect.
Xu Ming landed before the Mission Pavilion of the Inner Sect and entered the place.
