Chapter 1484: Chapter 71 Trace of the Tree of Fortune (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

...

Wait a minute!

The King of the North felt a sudden jolt in his heart, a bad feeling arising spontaneously, as if the misfortune was not yet over.

Something’s off, there’s something else that’s not right.

"Ugh~" Wang Fugui’s complexion gradually turned deathly pale, looking as though his life force and God Sense had been forcibly overdrawn, and he slumped to the ground, completely limp.

"Yi ya yi ya." The Rainbow Glaze Treasure Tree was also extremely anxious, its branches hugging Wang Fugui, wanting to save him but helpless to do anything.

"Snap!"

The King of the North slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering what was off.

This was clearly the overdrawn life force from forcibly contracting with his Lifeline Spirit Tree due to insufficient Cultivation base. Moreover, the Rainbow Glaze Treasure Tree was no ordinary Spirit Tree; it was a nearly Immortal Seed tier tree species.

Its life quality was only a half-step away from an Immortal Seed, and if given special opportunities in the future, it might take that half-step and transform into a true Immortal Plant.

But now, Wang Fugui’s life was overdrawn due to the forced contract, and if no rescue came soon, he was likely to die on the spot. And the Rainbow Wealth-Gathering Tree, with which he had a Lifeline Contract, would also perish with him.

The King of the North felt terrible all over.

If Wang Fugui were to die at King of the North’s Mansion, East Qian Country would surely not stand for it, resulting in a huge commotion that would be difficult to settle. Moreover, his own treasured daughter, Yun Mengyu, would never accept such an outcome.

Furthermore, the King of the North had also observed that this lad Wang Fugui was indeed both intelligent and full of potential, with the possibility of becoming a pillar of talent for the Human race once he matured.

"Aiyo, you brat, you’ve really put me in a bind," grumbled the King of the North, as he hurriedly went up to him, channeling his powerful Mysterious Energy to protect Wang Fugui, carrying him while cursing as they flew out of the treasure vault, "Are you here to collect a debt? What on Earth did I owe you in my past life?"

Meanwhile, the Rainbow Glaze Treasure Tree was desperately running after them, spreading its roots in a frantic sprint to keep up.

Very soon.

The King of the North burst out of the treasure vault: "Jade Spirit, come quickly and help."

Jade Spirit True Monarch alighted gracefully, and upon seeing Wang Fugui in such a state, was also greatly taken aback, saying, "King of the North, what has happened here?"

"The young master?" Jiang Qinglian also hurried over, equally shocked by the sight. If something were to happen to Wang Fugui, it would be a huge disaster.

Although the Wang family was ostensibly a Grade Five Prominent Family, they were not to be trifled with.

"His life force is overdrawn, no time for chit-chat," said the King of the North hastily. "Jade Spirit, take my place and protect Wang Fugui. I’m going to use an Eighth-grade Creational Immortal Pill to save him."

"Sure!" Knowing the gravity of the situation, Jade Spirit True Monarch did not dare to be negligent, quickly concentrating his thoughts and channeling his Mysterious Energy to protect Wang Fugui.

With his hands now free, the King of the North took out a splendid jade bottle from his Storage Ring, fetched an Eighth-grade Creational Immortal Pill, and at this moment, his heart was bleeding profusely.

This kind of Immortal Pill had the effect of mending flesh and reversing death; even a Transcendent Void Realm cultivator, if heavily injured, could rapidly recover to their prime after consuming one. Moreover, it also had benefits like extending life, strengthening the body, and refining God Sense, and so on.

And any Dan medicine that reached the level of an Eighth-grade Immortal Pill was worth a fortune, so valuable that selling a common Purple Abode Prominent Family might not even cover the price.

But at this moment, saving lives was of the essence, and the King of the North immediately dissolved the Creational Immortal Pill and fed it to Wang Fugui.

Two hours later.

The now recovered Wang Fugui bowed to the King of the North and said, "Wang Fugui thanks the King of the North for saving his life."

"Yi ya yi ya." The Rainbow Glaze Treasure Tree entangled and nestled close to Wang Fugui, rubbing back and forth in a highly spirited manner.

"..." The King of the North’s mouth twitched twice, and he nodded stiffly in response.

"Fugui, I’m glad you’re okay," rejoiced Yun Mengyu, before adding, "Old Grandfather, Fugui has finally caught the thief, so it’s time to keep your promise, right? It’s a Divine Spiritual Treasure, after all."

In an instant, the King of the North’s eyes grew slightly moist; what kind of karma had he wrought?

A Princess’ Order, a Rainbow Glaze Treasure Tree, a Divine Spiritual Treasure, and now he had even used an Eighth-grade Creational Immortal Pill.

"This... King of the North elder, how about we forget about the Divine Spiritual Treasure? After all, you used a Creational Immortal Pill to save me," Wang Fugui said politely.

"Hum, I am the King of the North," stated the King of the North. "How can I go back on my word? It’s just a Divine Spiritual Treasure; I can afford to gift it, consider it a sponsorship for the outstanding youth of the Human race."

"Many thanks to the King of the North elder for your generous gift," Wang Fugui said, bowing again in gratitude. "If the elder minds the matter with the Princess’ Order, then I shall return the Order to Mengyu for now."

"No way!" Before Yun Mengyu could object, the King of the North cut her off decisively, "With your talent, you are definitely qualified to be the future head of Mengyu’s Princess Mansion; no need to return it."

Inside his heart, however, he was lamenting that this kid had sheared so much wool from the Mansion, and by returning the Princess’ Order, wasn’t he just trying to walk away scot-free? Wouldn’t that mean all the treasures of his Mansion had gone to waste?

Previously, the King of the North had been keen on separating Wang Fugui and Yun Mengyu. But now, due to the sunk costs being too high, how could he bear to let go?

"You will stay at the Wang Fu for now, and when I have time, I will share some guidance on your Cultivation," said the King of the North seriously. "Do not slack off. You must focus on your Cultivation and strive to become a pillar of the Human race as soon as possible."

"Wang Fugui will remember the elder’s teachings," replied Fugui.

...

At the same time.

Chaoyang State.

In terms of geographical location, Chaoyang State is situated at the very east of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, and its name "Chaoyang" derives precisely from this.
