Ye Luo didn’t waste any words and directly took out a bright red fruit.
This was naturally one of the fruits Xin Lan had given him, but this fruit was somewhat special; it was for increasing longevity!
In the Cultivation World, any medicine that could increase longevity was a supreme treasure. Even if it only extended life by a few months, it would cause a bloodbath.
However, in the Zhongzhou Empire, it was a completely different story!
The citizens of the Zhongzhou Empire themselves enhanced their longevity through genetic modification, and other external means were considered mere supplements!
Therefore, Xin Lan merely researched this type of fruit!
Moreover, at the time, she told Ye Luo that this thing could extend life by at least five years, but it had no substantial effect! In fact, she didn’t even want to give this fruit to Ye Luo for experimentation; Ye Luo had insisted on taking it!
What a joke; although this item wasn’t valuable in the Zhongzhou Empire, in the Cultivation World, a fruit that could extend life by five years was a true treasure that would make people envious.
"What is this?" The elder immediately became puzzled.
This fruit seemed ordinary. Logically, if it were a treasure to increase longevity, it would emit a large amount of vitality, but this fruit neither radiated vitality nor even Spiritual Power!
That just proved it was an ordinary fruit with no effect for cultivators.
But he understood that Ye Luo would not be so bored.
"If you trust me, eat it and you’ll find out!" Ye Luo said with a smile. In fact, he was also a bit skeptical; this thing truly contained no vitality at all, could it really increase longevity?
Of course, he still had confidence in Xin Lan.
"I’ve already reached this point, what do I have to fear!" The elder chuckled lightly, took the fruit, and swallowed it.
Everyone was curiously watching him, wanting to see what changes would occur after he swallowed the fruit!
Soon, his physical body began to change.
Under his skin, it was as if worms were crawling, constantly wriggling, yet the elder’s face was filled with surprise! Despite the massive changes in his body, he didn’t feel any discomfort!
In reality, the Zhongzhou Empire was a technological nation; no matter what they researched, they considered comfort, even if it meant this fruit would not cause anyone pain.
"How can this be!" The elder soon exclaimed.
Without needing him to explain, everyone understood what had happened.
His previously withered aura gradually became vibrant, and his white beard gradually turned black!
Gradually, he changed from a frail old man to a spirited elder!
His longevity had increased not just by five years, but at least ten years!
Feeling his condition, the elder began to tremble with excitement, unable to find the words to express himself.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your great kindness!" The elder respectfully saluted Ye Luo, almost touching his head to the ground.
This was a great礼, more valuable than the kneeling礼 in the Demon Realm.
"Elder, there’s no need for such formality; the prosperity of Wudang still requires your efforts, and this is what I should do as Sect Leader!" Ye Luo said solemnly.
He knew that at this moment, the elder was truly loyal to him.
Ten years of longevity! Enough for him to break through again; even if he couldn’t, he could at least find a way to solve the issue of longevity.
At this time, the other two elders already had their eyes lit up. Ye Luo had previously mentioned solving their issues to make them normal cultivators, so wouldn’t that mean they could also enjoy that fruit?
"These are yours!" Ye Luo said with a smile, tossing two fruits over.
It seemed the effect of these fruits far exceeded Xin Lan’s expectations, and the experiment was a success.
The two elders quickly caught them, fearing they would be damaged, and immediately swallowed them, beginning to refine the fruit.
Ye Luo gave them a smile before ignoring them and going to the side of the middle-aged man.
"Now it’s your turn!" Ye Luo said calmly.
The middle-aged man paused, his expression immediately becoming complicated.
"Sect Leader, this!"
Clearly, the middle-aged man still didn’t trust him. Even though Ye Luo could produce the longevity fruit, it didn’t mean he had the power to remove the malevolent spirit.
Beside him, the Elder of Punishment wore a hesitant expression.
"Hold your thoughts steady!"
Ye Luo ignored him, and the next moment, the Fire Origin moved within him, and a pure Fire Origin shot from Ye Luo’s palm into the middle-aged man’s body!
Immediately, a piercing howl came from within the middle-aged man, and a shadow black as ink suddenly flew out of his body.
This was actually the ancient malevolent spirit!
However, now the ancient spirit was ablaze, its malevolent face twisted beyond recognition. Yet no matter how it struggled, it couldn’t escape the Fire Origin.
The Fire Origin naturally restrained such dark entities, being the bane of this malevolent spirit.
"You’re all seeking death!"
The malevolent spirit roared, suddenly charging toward Ye Luo.
Clearly, it had recognized that the Fire Origin was manipulated by Ye Luo.
"Sect Leader, be careful!"
The middle-aged man and the Elder of Punishment immediately shouted.
Ye Luo snorted coldly; this malevolent spirit was, in essence, just a trace of Divine Sense, and moreover, a remnant from Ancient Times.
Although the God Soul Power of Ancient Times was sharp, the problem was that Ye Luo’s Divine Soul had also been tempered in that ancient space! Its refinement was no different from an ancient Divine Soul.
Suddenly, a Soul Sword appeared above Ye Luo.
"Slash!" Ye Luo roared; the Soul Sword slashed down.
This Soul Sword was the attack method from that Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, though this was Ye Luo’s first time using it officially.
"How is this possible! This is Ancient God Soul Power!" The malevolent spirit exclaimed in shock.
However, before it could react, the Soul Sword had already struck its form.
The next moment, the malevolent spirit was enveloped in black mist, with its Divine Soul Power already half dissipated!
"I’m unwilling! I’ve persisted for so many years; how can I be annihilated!" It howled.
But its form had already been engulfed by the Fire Origin, leaving it no power to struggle!
The blazing flames burned for nearly half a stick of incense before subsiding, and during this time, everyone quietly watched the flames until they were extinguished and the Fire Origin was reabsorbed into Ye Luo’s body, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
