Chapter 597 Secret Treasure at the Bottom of the Lake (1/2)
Two jade baby-like fruits quietly hung from the top of the ancient jade tree. A six-color halo swirled around them, making them both a mysterious and attention-grabbing sight.
Below, Zhou Yuan and Luluo were stunned by the sight of the two fruits, and could not make even a sound for a long time.
“Phew…”
However, Zhou Yuan eventually returned to his senses and exhaled deeply, before he said, “I’ve been saying that although there are quite a few treasures in the six color lake, they don’t seem to match up to its namesake. It turns out that the real treasure is here.”
Luluo forcefully nodded her head, her large watery eyes filled with desire. Though she had received a rather substantial share from the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, it had just barely allowed her to condense a four-color Divine Establishing Treasure.
This was obviously still a long way from Luluo’s aim.
However, there was no way for her to request for more. The leaders of their team was Tang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ru after all, and though Luluo was a personal disciple of the palace master, her current strength and experience was still insufficient to justify her taking the lion’s share.
This was also the biggest motivation for Luluo to leave the team and search for opportunities alone.
Zhou Yuan’s gaze turned towards Luluo as he grinned. “One each?”
Luluo happily nodded. If it were anyone else, she would have already begun to scheme against the other person the moment she saw the six-color Divine Establishing Treasure.
Anyone would understand the value of a six-color Divine Establishing Treasure after all, and no one would complain about having too many...
Even after obtaining one, a second one would be required to climb to an even higher level!
Despite this, Luluo clearly had a lot of trust in Zhou Yuan, as they were after all companions that had fought back to back before. Moreover, as a beast heart communicator, Luluo possessed an amazing talent for reading the hearts of other individuals.
Zhou Yuan chuckled upon seeing this. With a wave of his sleeve, a stream of golden Genesis Qi shot out. The Genesis Qi headed straight for the top of the tree, and plucked the two glowing jade baby-like fruits.
The process was exceedingly smooth, and there was basically zero obstruction. The Spirit Ghost Python should have been the guardian beast, but did not give them any problems since it was currently subdued by Luluo.
Genesis Qi descended as Zhou Yuan extended his hand to catch the two gem-like fruits.
Zhou Yuan clearly felt the pure energy surging within the fruits the moment they touched his hand, causing the five-color Divine Establishing Treasure in his Qi Dwelling to begin shaking violently with unmatched desire.
Zhou Yuan calmed the desire in his heart as he passed one of the fruits to Luluo.
Luluo anxiously reached out to accept it, as she jumped a little in excitement. She forcefully rubbed the fruit against her face, a satisfied look glowing on her adorable face.
She finally returned to her senses a few moments later and said in the sweetest of voices, “Thanks Zhou Yuan!”
Zhou Yuan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. He kept the six-color Divine Establishing Treasure, and began slowly walking towards the golden pool, where the jade tree was growing from.
The water in the pool appeared rather viscous, and the Spirit Ghost Python was currently soaking within, as its body trembled continuously. However, Zhou Yuan could sense that its injuries seemed to be recovering at a rather rapid rate.
The golden pool evidently possessed some magical properties.
“What is it?” Luluo also walked forward, gazing at the golden pool, before squatting down and gingerly reaching out a slender finger to touch the water.
Szz!
However, her finger swiftly withdrew a split second later, as a pained look filled her face. Her fingertip had turned a raw red.
She cried out in pain, “Oww!”
A look of contemplation rose on Zhou Yuan’s face, before he also extended a finger and slowly reached into the golden pool. He immediately felt an intense pain surge from his finger the moment he entered, as if he had stuck his finger into magma.
However, Zhou Yuan did not immediately pull back, because the pain was still within a bearable limit.
He maintained this posture for several minutes, before joy suddenly surged out in his pupils. He had discovered that although it was very painful, the golden pool water had an unimaginable tempering effect on his body.
