Chapter 563 Finally had a good meal
Xiao Han immediately started to talk about how the middle-aged male cultivator had cheated him during the transaction and even turned the tables on him.
After finishing, he handed the green fruit, which no longer had any spiritual charm, to Ye Ling to see.
Ye Ling only took a quick glance and said, "I've heard for a long time that there are cultivators who know how to forge spiritual fruits. They can soak low-year-old spiritual fruits in special potions, extract all the spiritual charm of the spiritual fruits, and the spiritual energy of the potion, and then attach it to the surface of the spiritual fruits, passing them off as high-year-old spiritual fruits to deceive people. Today, we finally caught the real culprit."
The middle-aged male cultivator struggled desperately, "It's unfair, it's unfair, I really didn't do such a thing, she's just crying wolf."
Ye Ling suddenly released the aura of a Void Refining cultivator and shouted angrily, "Whether you have been wronged or not, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion and you will find out."
After saying that, he used his spiritual power to wrap up Xiao Han and the middle-aged male cultivator, even including Croton, and brought them to the City Lord's Mansion.
When the middle-aged male cultivator found out that this Void Refining cultivator was the city lord, his face turned pale.
When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Ling directly handed him over to his subordinates for interrogation, while he and Xiao Han drank tea and waited in the hall.
Then, just a quarter of an hour later, the subordinate came back with the Earth's Core Stone and another identical green fruit to report.
It turned out that this middle-aged male cultivator actually possessed a Spirit Gathering Fruit that was worth fifty years of hard work. However, he also had a fake Green Fruit soaked in potion and was carrying it with him.
When trading with people, he would first take out a fake one. If he could trick them, he would do it. If they saw through him, he would find a way to get it back and then replace it with the real Spirit Gathering Fruit.
He has succeeded four or five times using this method, and today was the fastest time someone discovered it was fake.
Xiao Han immediately understood. The cultivator who sent him a message at the trade fair, reminding him to carefully check the Spirit Gathering Fruit, might have heard of this scam and gave him this reminder.
Xiao Han thought of Yu Nuxiu, so he asked, "Are there any other accomplices of his at the trade fair?"
The subordinate shook his head, "No accomplices."
Xiao Han felt relieved after hearing this. She didn't want Yu Nuxiu, who was so enthusiastic about organizing the trade fair, to be in cahoots with this guy.
Ye Ling threw both the Earth's Core Stone and the Spirit Gathering Fruit to Xiao Han.
"I'll return the Earth's Core Stone to you. As for the Spirit Gathering Fruit, consider it your contribution in uncovering the fraudster. We'll also find the other victims and make them compensate them."
Xiao Han was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Ye Ling. "City Lord Ye's ability to uphold justice for the vast majority of low-level cultivators is truly a blessing for all the cultivators in Yunwu City. I hope to express my heartfelt gratitude and admiration to City Lord Ye on behalf of all the cultivators who have been deceived!"
She had written so many official documents in the past that when it came to the part of praising and thanking others, she unconsciously adopted this tone.
Ye Ling, however, found it very useful, and felt that Xiao Han, who was a good writer, was indeed worthy of his name, and his words were always pleasant to the ears.
She smiled and used her spiritual power to lift her up, allowing her to stand upright.
"You don't have to be so polite. After all, you call me Sister Ye. How can I sit idly by and watch you ask for help?"
Xiao Han flattered him seriously, "I believe that even if the person asking for help today was an ordinary cultivator, you would still help him and uphold justice."
As the saying goes, flattery never wears out! Anyway, after some flattery, when Xiao Han left, Ye Ling said that she would also help keep an eye out for treasures that could quickly improve his cultivation if he wanted to trade them.
After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Han went directly to the cave rental office and spent a high price to rent a special cave with high spiritual energy, which was used by Jindan cultivators to retreat and improve their cultivation. He used it for short-term accommodation and training.
She had to use up that white Spirit Gathering Green Fruit quickly so that her cultivation level would actually improve, and then she would feel at ease.
Sitting in the training room filled with rich spiritual energy, he first circulated a circle of Qi to calm his excitement, and then took out the green fruit.
As soon as the jade box with the soul-locking talisman was opened, a refreshing and rich fragrance of spiritual fruits and treasures came to Xiao Han, allowing him to instantly feel the difference between the real thing and the fake.
Alas! If she had tasted something as good as this, she wouldn't have been fooled at the trade fair.
So, the scammer could tell at first sight that she was a country bumpkin and an easy target to cheat?
With a feeling of emotion, she took a bite.
The fruit flesh immediately turned into an extremely pure spiritual liquid and flowed into the throat.
In order to prevent the remaining green fruit's spiritual energy from dissipating, she ate all the fruit in just a few bites.
Then, she felt a surge of pure energy that seemed to be about to explode her body, rushing through her body.
Xiao Han was startled and hurriedly held his Yuan Shou Yi, desperately practicing his skills to guide this terrifying energy into his Dantian.
It was unknown how long it had passed, but this terrifying energy was finally absorbed into his dantian, and his body returned to normal. Xiao Han then slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the clear growth of spiritual energy in her body, at this moment, she suddenly felt like crying. Poor her, she had written so many storybooks, and the protagonists in each book were all constantly on adventures, encountering all kinds of natural treasures, and their cultivation levels skyrocketed like a rocket.
But it was not until today that she enjoyed the rapid increase in spiritual power brought by the treasures of heaven and earth.
At this moment, she actually had the urge to rush into the Yunwu Mountains to search for treasure regardless of everything.
Fortunately, she still had her sanity. The opportunity to hunt for treasure was not something that could be obtained just by wishing for it. She should just trade honestly.
Then, Xiao Han suddenly thought of the trade fair, where a cultivator once said that he had a treasure that could save at least ten years of cultivation time.
Unfortunately, her mind was occupied by the fifty-year-old green fruit at that time. Later, she found out that she had been deceived and started to make a fuss. She had no intention of trading the treasure anymore.
Now it seems that there are quite a few treasures that can save time in cultivation. She can go looking for them and exchange them again.
Just as Xiao Han was running around in exchange for treasures to improve his cultivation, the succubus who escaped from the Yunwu Mountains had already traveled to many fairy cities and possessed several cultivators, but still could not find a host that satisfied her.
Although her true soul had fully emerged, what had been suppressed millions of years ago was only a remnant. Within the soul-suppressing formation, it was impossible for her to recuperate. Therefore, if she wanted to return to her peak state of ancient times, she must collect top-grade soul-nourishing wood and slowly nourish it.
But good things are not accessible to low-level cultivators. And with her current strength, the high-level cultivators she can possess are at most cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm.
She didn't dare to try to possess a cultivator in the fusion realm easily, for fear that she would fail and reveal her whereabouts.
It’s just that it’s not easy to find a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, and a female cultivator at that, and a particularly beautiful female cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm.
To this end, the succubus deceived the male cultivators and obtained the names and locations of several female cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm. After a lot of searching, she didn't like any of them.
It would be fine if it was just a short-term possession, but for a long-term host, she still hoped that the host would be at least a beauty that she could appreciate.
Just when the succubus was lamenting that it was difficult to find even a decent beauty in this broken world, she accidentally saw the vixen Hu Yun who came to the human territory to look for Xie Yi.
The succubus' eyes suddenly lit up. This was really effortless.
Finally, there is a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm who can be called a beauty.
Okay, it’s her!
