Chapter 161: Blood Bodhi!

The two of them and the tiger walked deeper into the Black Water Ravine. After about a quarter of an hour, a huge cliff blocked their way.

"Eh, no way? We've come all this way and found nothing good!" Nanfeng Zhirou said dejectedly.

Ye Yuan also stopped and looked around, but found nothing useful.

All along the way, he had been observing the surroundings. If there were any heavenly treasures, they would definitely not escape his eyes.

But so far, he had found nothing.

"Could it be that the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python really just fancied this place and wanted to seize it? That doesn't make sense! With its strength, it could go deeper and occupy a better territory. Why choose here?" Ye Yuan was also puzzled.

"Hahaha... Aren't you the one who claims to know everything? Didn't expect you to slip up too! What was it—'knowledge is power'? Now knowledge has turned to bubbles, huh?" Nanfeng Zhirou taunted mercilessly.

She bore a deep grudge against Ye Yuan for repeatedly mocking her lack of brains.

Women hold grudges, and beautiful women even more so!

But every time, Ye Yuan's predictions were accurate, so Nanfeng Zhirou could never catch him off guard and refute him.

Now that Ye Yuan was finally at a loss, she naturally chose to kick him while he was down!

Ye Yuan's mouth twitched, feeling like he had dug a hole and jumped into it himself.

Still, he felt his judgment was correct. The question was, where was the heavenly treasure?

"Ye Yuan, please next time don't... Hey, White Light, where are you going?"

Just as Nanfeng Zhirou was about to continue berating Ye Yuan, White Light turned into a streak of light and dashed toward the cliff.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up. Could this little fellow know where the treasure was?

White Light reached the foot of the cliff, leaped up onto a rock, then jumped left and right as it climbed, as if walking on flat ground.

At a very high spot, White Light's figure flickered and suddenly disappeared!

Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou looked closely and saw a small hole there. White Light had gone into the hole!

"Could there really be something good?" Nanfeng Zhirou murmured.

At this point, she obviously guessed what White Light was up to, and couldn't help secretly cursing that White Light was just playing and wouldn't find anything.

Though White Light hadn't come out yet, somehow Nanfeng Zhirou's face felt burning hot.

"So it was hidden in such a secluded place. No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long. Who knew White Light had such an ability!" Ye Yuan was quite surprised by White Light's skill.

After thinking it over, Ye Yuan let it go. It was probably some kind of fruit; White Light might have caught its scent.

After a short while, White Light's figure appeared at the mouth of the hole again, but this time it was holding something small in its mouth.

White Light carried the small thing down the cliff and came to Ye Yuan's side.

In its mouth was a flower stem with a small fruit attached. It handed the thing to Ye Yuan and wagged its tail adorably, like a cute pet.

Ye Yuan smiled and patted White Light's little head as encouragement, then picked up the small fruit with some excitement, because he had recognized it.

"It's actually a Blood Bodhi! No wonder the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python lingered here—it was for this!"

Nanfeng Zhirou felt a bit embarrassed, but couldn't suppress her curiosity and secretly examined the small thing.

It was a blood-red small fruit that didn't look very remarkable. If it were up to her, she would probably have overlooked it entirely.

Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou hesitating to speak and sneaking glances, Ye Yuan couldn't help but find it amusing.

Knowing that girls have thin skin, Ye Yuan didn't provoke her further but explained, "This Blood Bodhi is a good thing! It's a third-grade medicinal herb and extremely rare! If the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python had taken it, it would probably have broken through to the second-level late stage."

Seeing that Ye Yuan wasn't going to turn the tables on her, Nanfeng Zhirou secretly sighed in relief, but still said stubbornly, "I didn't ask you to explain!"

"Alright, alright, it's me who likes to show off and insisted on explaining to you, okay?"

Only then was Nanfeng Zhirou satisfied, but she immediately couldn't help asking curiously, "Since this Blood Bodhi is so powerful, why didn't it eat it all this time?"

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Count it as unlucky. If I'm not mistaken, this Blood Bodhi wasn't ripe before; it only ripened in the last couple of days. Before it could eat it, it encountered the White Tiger and us, so we got the bargain. But if it had eaten it, it would have been a waste. Using it to refine the third-grade pill Bodhi Pill can unconditionally raise a Condensation Realm martial artist by one minor realm! And it has no side effects!"

Nanfeng Zhirou's mouth fell open after hearing this. Unconditionally raising a Condensation Realm martial artist by one minor realm—what did that mean?

For a Condensation Realm martial artist, even a tiny bit of progress required time to accumulate, let alone breaking through a minor realm!

Among the Condensation Realm martial artists in the Qin Kingdom, aside from the Academy Head and the Alchemist Guild's Wu Daofeng, who were at Condensation Realm second level, everyone else was at Condensation Realm first level.

Nanfeng Zhirou's father, Nanfeng Yi, the Qin Kingdom's sovereign, had broken through to Condensation Realm over twenty years ago but was still stuck at Condensation Realm first level.

This showed how difficult it was for a Condensation Realm martial artist to take even one step forward!

The Qin Kingdom had two senior grand alchemists, but neither could refine a pill that could directly raise a Condensation Realm martial artist by a minor realm. Yet Ye Yuan could!

If Ye Yuan placed a pill in front of these people, there would be only two outcomes.

One was that they would kill Ye Yuan and then fight to the death over the pill; the other was that they would follow Ye Yuan around, hoping to curry favor and have him bestow the pill on them.

Even the two senior grand alchemists would be tempted by the Bodhi Pill, wouldn't they?

When Ye Yuan said he could help Yuan Fei break through to the fourth level, Nanfeng Zhirou didn't have much of a concept because it was too far from her.

But being able to raise a Condensation Realm martial artist by one minor realm—that shock was too great for her.

Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan with longing, as if wanting to say something but holding back.

Ye Yuan laughed heartily, immediately knowing what she was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, this Blood Bodhi can refine at least ten Bodhi Pills. I'll leave one for your father!"

After Ye Yuan said this, Nanfeng Zhirou blushed, but still said gratefully, "Thank you!"

Ye Yuan teased, "You've never thanked me for anything concerning yourself, but you thank me for your father's sake. I'm truly flattered! But you know, I've just broken through to the Liquid Realm, so refining the Bodhi Pill will take some time."

This time, Nanfeng Zhirou didn't flare up but quickly shook her head and said, "No rush, no rush."
