Million Times Talent

Chapter 143: Extreme Cold

The formation jade card had a sensing range of a hundred kilometers; beyond this distance, it wouldn't detect anything.

"Could there be some treasure here? Let's go!" Without hesitation, Chu Feng immediately activated the Nine Thousand Thunder Movement technique.

In a flash of lightning, he left behind afterimages, disappearing into the sky.

When he arrived, he found an area filled with icy cold air, resembling the depths of winter. The air was also accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, invigorating and warming the body upon inhalation.

Both the cold and the fragrance emanated from a central ice lake. Over twenty people had gathered around, eyeing each other warily.

In the center of the lake, free from ice, a three-meter-tall purple sacred tree bore seven golden fruits, radiating a dazzling and mystical light.

"Is this the Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit?" Chu Feng's eyes flashed with brilliance. This fruit was a top-grade spiritual herb capable of increasing one's lifespan.

Any spiritual herb that could extend life had an astronomical value. After all, who wasn't afraid of death? Who wouldn't want to attain immortality?

More people arrived one after another, and everyone's eyes were filled with greed. Excited exclamations echoed around.

"This Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit must be over fifty thousand years old! If one of these fruits is obtained, it will be a fortune!"

"This fruit can at least add fifty years to one's lifespan. If auctioned, it could fetch a high price!"

"One fruit is worth at least a hundred star crystals!"

Whispers circulated, but in this group, the lowest cultivation level was Peak Town Commander, and everyone could clearly hear each other.

The ice lake covered an area of only a few kilometers, making it extremely close; one could say that if you were a step too late, you wouldn't even get a taste.

Chu Feng scanned the surroundings with his powerful spiritual sense and discovered that most were individuals at the First or Second Layer of the Eight Extremities Realm, with only one at the Third Layer.

However, among them, there was no one mentioned in Ye Xuan's information that required special attention.

Chu Feng immediately calmed his mind and made up his decision: "Wait until the Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit ripens, snatch it, and then run!"

At this moment, the fragrance was still faint. It seemed that some time was still needed for it to mature.

At this time, a warrior wearing navy-blue clothing rushed over from a distance. After a slight hesitation, he stepped forward toward the ice lake.

The powerful aura of a Third Layer Extremity Realm burst forth, and he said with intense killing intent, "The Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit should need another half an hour to ripen. Anyone who dares to snatch it during this period, my Liu Family in Jiangning will kill him in the lake!"

Finishing his words, three or four people immediately surrounded the approaching warrior, their expressions unsightly and filled with murderous intent.

The warrior's face turned extremely ugly as he hurriedly explained, "It's a misunderstanding! I didn't know the Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit hadn't ripened yet!"

"Get lost! If I see you again, you'll die here!" One of them said coldly.

The warrior's expression changed, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly left.

After all, life was more important than treasures.

"Hiss! The Liu Family, which allied with the Xue Family among the four major families, has a Martial God sitting in their family!" Someone exclaimed.

Chu Feng glanced at the few individuals, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes. "Even if it's a Third Layer Extremity Realm, if they interfere with my treasure, they'll be killed!"

The lakeside returned to silence, and everyone was waiting for the Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit to ripen.

Occasionally, other warriors arrived, but with so many people present, a few more wouldn't matter. The key factors were speed and strength.

...

The torturous half an hour gradually passed.

The medicinal fragrance became increasingly intense, refreshing enough to make one feel clear-headed and invigorated just by smelling it.

Moreover, on the Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng Fruit, a golden dragon shadow suddenly flickered.

"Now's the time!"

The violent aura surged like a mighty river. Chu Feng instantly activated the Nine Thousand Thunder Movement technique, a flash of lightning as he rushed out almost as the first.

However, Chu Feng might be fast, but others were not slow either.
