Chapter 1683: Monarch Spirit Fruit

Qingfeng Li was speechless, not knowing what the second prince was doing. He was being overly cautious.

The second prince walked to Qingfeng Li and said quietly, “Qingfeng Li, I have a matter on hand that you must help me with.”

Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “We are friends. Just tell me anything, I will for sure help if I can.”

The second prince’s voice was extremely low; he was scared to let others heard what he said, “My father had ordered a competition between my big brother and I. Whoever wins will become the future emperor of Lingyun.”

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up in confusion, “Isn’t your big brother the heir already? Is there a chance for you to take over?”

The second prince explained, “My father got a serious disease and only monarch soul fruit can save him. So, my father ordered, whoever can find the fruit will be the future emperor.”

Qingfeng Li obviously knew what the fruit was. It was an imperial level elixir, that could not only fix the self-cultivator’s body, but also could heal their soul.

But the fruit was extremely rare and couldn’t be found on Earth. Even in Lingyun, Qingfeng Li didn’t see it.

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up and he said, “The fruit is extremely rare and Lingyun probably doesn’t have any. Where are you going to find it then?”

The second prince said nervously, “From the information that I got from the Sky Fate Pavilion, the Crimson Fire Desert has it.”

Qingfeng Li was shocked after hearing the name Crimson Fire Desert. Even though Qingfeng Li was new to Lingyun, he knew a lot about the city in general.

There was a forbidden area near Lingyun named the Crimson Fire Desert. It was located to the north of Lingyun and was extremely dangerous.

Qingfeng Li heard from a lot of self-cultivators that the Crimson Fire Desert contained a lot of spirit treasures and elixirs and attracted a lot of self-cultivators to go there in hopes of meeting some fortuitous encounters.

But they all died when they set foot into the desert, with no one ever coming back out.

Because of it, the area was named the Land of Death. Rumors said that Crimson Fire Desert was home to an unknown powerful evil force.

Qingfeng Li looked at the second prince and said, “So you want me to go to Crimson Fire Desert with you?”

Awkwardness appeared on the second prince’s face and his hands began rubbing against each other.

The second prince knew that his request was kind of over the line. After all, the Crimson Fire Desert was too dangerous and was the number one forbidden area in Lingyun. It was even famous in the southern part of the Crimson Fire Continent because a lot of people had died there.

Qingfeng Li was about to shake his head and reject the second prince. Even though they were friends, he didn’t want to put his life in danger.

At this moment, Black Puppy came beside Qingfeng Li and grabbed onto his right leg.

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up and he asked, “Why did you grab my pants?”

Black Puppy said, “I used my nose to smell the area and there is an extremely familiar presence within the desert. We have to go there.”

Qingfeng Li’s eyes were confused. Black Puppy should know the danger of the desert, but what was there had actually made him ignore all of it.

Seeing the look on Qingfeng Li’s face, Black Puppy whispered, “I smelled the presence of Sky Devouring Snake. He is wounded and needs us to save him.”

Qingfeng Li knew how sensitive Black Puppy’s nose was, as it was able to smell any familiar presence within a thousand miles.

The puppy and the snake had been together for a long time. If Black Puppy said the snake was there, then it was there.

Qingfeng Li knew that he must get to the desert and save Sky-Devouring Snake because he was one of his best friends. The two had experienced too much together and it had helped Qingfeng Li a lot, he couldn’t just watch the snake die in the desert.

After some thorough thinking, Qingfeng Li said to the Second Prince, “I will go to the desert with you. When are we going to go?”

The second prince was baffled at first, but excitement immediately filled his eyes after.

The second prince didn’t think Qingfeng Li would have accepted his request. Even though he knew how dangerous the Crimson Fire Desert was, he still accepted.

The second prince felt that Qingfeng Li was way too nice. In order for him to become the future king, Qingfeng Li would actually disregard his own safety. It was worth it to become friends with someone like Qingfeng Li.

The second prince saluted Qingfeng and said, “If its convenient, we will leave tomorrow.”

“After all, the competition has started between my older brother and me. He also ordered a lot of people to go into the Crimson Fire Desert. Whoever can get the fruit will become the future emperor.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. He wanted to get there fast because Sky-Devouring Snake couldn’t wait that long.

After chatting a bit more and giving Qingfeng Li a map of the Crimson Fire Desert, the second prince went back to his palace.

The second prince still had to gather other people. Qingfeng Li was an important member, but he also gathered other powerful self-cultivators to protect them.

After the second prince left, Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy went back into their room. Qingfeng Li took out an emperor level elixir and gave it to Li Yang. He told her to consume it.

Li Yang looked at Qingfeng Li with excitement and appreciation before she consumed it and began cultivating to absorb the elixir.

The emperor level elixir became a powerful surge of vital essence and entered her eight extraordinary meridians, skins, muscles, and bones. Then it gathered at her lower abdomen and finally became golden; she quickly reached the spirit-emperor level.

Qingfeng Li then gave her a spirit-emperor level method and told her to stabilize her power level.

It was all thanks to Qingfeng Li that Li Yang was able to achieve the spirt-emperor level. If it wasn’t for him, she didn’t know when she would be able to achieve it.

Li Yang was extremely happy, and tears began falling from her eyes. Her biggest wish when she was back on Mercury was to achieve the spirit-emperor realm, and now it was finally granted.
