Chapter 811: Chapter 0811: Ancient Divine Tree

Long Fei knew not much about Daoist Huoyuan; this person was slightly less wooden and more forceful than Yu Fangming, straightforward in nature.

Cultivators of Fire Elemental Force who weren’t straightforward and easily angered were very likely to be burnt to death.

He said to Yu Fangming, "Daoist Huoyuan is a high-ranking individual at the Core Formation Stage. To self-cultivate to such a level in this environment, he indeed deserves the title of a genius."

Yu Fangming said, "Exactly. Just like Elder Cang Shan, Daoist Huoyuan was also one of the Chinese laborers who were sold into servitude. Originally brought over to dig for ores in what is now Yellowstone Park, they accidentally discovered the current cave dwelling. It was left by an ancient Daoist practitioner of Fire Elemental Force, and within it lies a rare Fire Spirit Tree, rooted within a volcano. It flowers once every fifty years and bears fruit every fifty years. Each batch of the tree bears only nine fruits, with the largest one comparable to a Fifth-Grade Pill. Daoist Huoyuan has cultivated to his current level with the help of these fruits and the opportunities within the cave. Now a hundred years have passed, and this batch of fruits is about to mature."

"Is there such a divine tree?"

Both Long Fei and Chu Feng’s eyes lit up with a glint.

Yu Fangming saw this and coughed twice as a reminder, hoping he hadn’t brought any trouble upon Daoist Huoyuan.

Long Fei laughed heartily, "Brother Yu, rest assured, we’re not robbers who would steal others’ treasures. Although this tree is rare, it’s not worth ruining our reputations over. Moreover, a Fifth-Grade Pill isn’t such a rarity."

Yu Fangming trusted him; after all, the Fire Elemental Tree bore only a few fruits, and their efficacy was at most equal to that of a Fifth-Grade Pill.

Long Fei already possessed such pills and naturally would not covet them.

He made a salute with his fists and said, "The tree of Daoist Huoyuan, though precious, produces fewer and fewer fruits each batch. These cultivation resources can’t sustain themselves. Therefore, as the Acting Sect Leader, I wish to convince him to join the Yin Yang Sect. This way, our Yin Yang Sect would gain another skilled practitioner."

"This is an excellent idea!"

Long Fei nodded in agreement, curious, he asked, "Has Brother Yu ever seen this tree?"

Yu Fangming frowned, wondering why Long Fei was asking about the tree when he seemed disinterested before.

With trepidation, he said, "Indeed, that was around a hundred or so years ago, when the tree bore fruits once. At that time, people from the cultivation world learned of it and came in droves to seize the treasure. Elder Cang Shan and I helped in the fight and drove them away. Daoist Huoyuan then hosted us, and in his cave dwelling, I had the fortune of glimpsing it."

Chu Feng, showing keen interest, asked, "What does the tree look like?"

Yu Fangming replied with wonder, "Its branches and leaves are entirely red, like a huge burning flame. It roots itself in volcanic magma, unafraid of the fire, quite spirited indeed."

Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged looks, regretting having listened to Yu Fangming’s persuasion.

Before, the two of them were not acquainted with Daoist Huoyuan.

The Fire Elemental Tree was a naturally occurring Spiritual Root, meant to be obtained by the mighty.

Daoist Huoyuan had the fortune of possessing it for two hundred years, which in itself was an incredibly fortunate fate.

If the two of them were to take it, then they would just take it.

But now that Yu Fangming mentioned recruiting, it would look bad to take it.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Long Fei couldn’t help but ask Yu Fangming, "Could Brother Yu take us to have a look?"

Chu Feng added, "Right, there should be no problem just having a look, right?"

Yu Fangming scratched his fingers, sweat forming on his brow, thinking why did he even mention this to them.

The Sect Hierarch had a request, and how could he go against it?

Reluctantly, Yu Fangming said, "Alright, I’ll take you there. If Daoist Huoyuan agrees, we’ll all go in together. If he doesn’t, we’ll leave together."

"That settles it then!"

Both Long Fei and Chu Feng smiled, the corners of their mouths twitching in a way that made Yu Fangming uneasy.

With matters in this place already taken care of, there was no need for Long Fei and the others to stay.

In recent days, Lin Yingying and the others had toured every corner of Los Angeles and, feeling bored, were planning to return to China.

Long Fei called them over to discuss and informed them about the Fire Elemental Tree.

The women listened with stars in their eyes, especially Hua Qianmo, who seemed to have known about the Fire Elemental Tree for a long time.

She asked Long Fei, "Sect Hierarch, the Daoist Huoyuan is famously fond of his treasure. Would he agree to let us take a look?"

Long Fei asked with a smile, "Have you ever thought about getting your hands on this treasure?"

Hua Qianmo’s face turned red, too embarrassed to speak.

Chu Feng burst into laughter and said, "Why be shy? If my wife wants it, I’ll snatch it for you tomorrow."

"You..."

Hua Qianmo pouted, upset; things were not like before.

She was just a Sect Leader of the Death Sect, while Chu Feng was a mighty Elder. She couldn’t resort to violence even if she was angry.

Hua Qianmo looked to Lin Yingying for help; over the past few days, they had become quite good friends.

Lin Yingying took her hand and said to Chu Feng, "Mind your words in the future. Sister Hua isn’t married to you yet. If you talk like this and then don’t marry her, how will she ever get married to someone else?"

Lin Shanshan knew Chu Feng’s weakness too and asked with a mischievous smile, "Big Brother Chu Feng, are you going to marry Sister Qianmo or not?"

Hua Qianmo frowned, wondering for whom they were really speaking.

Little did she know, Chu Feng’s greatest fear was marriage.

As soon as Lin Yingying posed the question, he quickly admitted, "Fine, I won’t say it again, all right?"

Joking aside, he had never really considered taking a wife seriously.

Although Hua Qianmo was a decent catch, she was fierce and not much fun at all.

If she ever lost her temper and decided to cut him down, it wouldn’t be fun at all.

Hua Qianmo pouted, looking at him. Hearing what he said, she felt a bit disappointed deep down.

If Chu Feng truly wanted to marry her, she might actually say yes.

No matter what, this man was top-tier, on par with Long Fei.

Only, he seemed more slippery and not as steady as Long Fei.

Ding Xue expressed her worry, "Why didn’t you make arrangements earlier? I’ve already reported for work."

Chu Feng laughed and said, "No problem, you can just skip work!"

Lin Yingying, holding her hand, said, "Let’s go, why not? You can be a police officer anytime, but seeing such rare divine objects happens once in a lifetime."

"Okay, I guess I’ll skip work for a few days."

Ding Xue made up her mind, her curiosity about these things piqued.

She had heard others talk about their adventures several times before but never had the chance to join.

Having finally come along with Long Fei this time, she got more than her fix and had no thoughts of going back.

With everyone in agreement, vehicles were promptly prepared.

Yellowstone Park is in the northwest of America, not far from Los Angeles; it’s just about half a day’s drive.

Taking the highway, one would pass through the world-famous Gambling City, Las Vegas.

This place is a world of glitz and glamour, where anyone, men or women, can enjoy dreamlike services.

Since they were going to make the trip, they decided to spend another day there.

After all, the Daoist Huoyuan’s tree was rooted in volcanic magma, and it surely couldn’t grow wings and fly away.
