Chapter 556: Decisive Action!
"Why is this woman like this?!"
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yu felt somewhat puzzled. He instinctively followed the woman's gaze and scanned with his spiritual consciousness.
In the next moment, his pupils constricted!
Golden Scale Fruit!
Since obtaining the Immortal Abode, he had always been very attentive to information about spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Combined with many years of alchemical pill refining experience, he could recognize a wide variety of both common and rare spiritual herbs.
Even some of the legendary spiritual objects from ancient times, Liu Yu had heard of to some extent; after all, he didn't just read those numerous tomes for nothing.
Thus, the instant he saw the "Golden Scale Fruit," its name and detailed effects naturally emerged in his mind.
At that moment, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement!
He wasn’t concerned about the fact that it could extend the "Golden Time" effect for a hundred years; with his current age and cultivation level, continuous supply of elixirs, reaching golden core pinnacle at four or five hundred years old was not difficult.
What he valued was its benefits for body refinement.
For an ordinary golden core cultivator, consuming one could barely reach the threshold of condensing yuan ying. Therefore, if he consumed one, he should be able to break through to the mid stage of the third level in body refinement, right?
Thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and he almost felt an impulse to immediately grasp the "Golden Scale Fruit" in his hands!
But after careful consideration, he calmed down.
His body refinement had already reached the pinnacle of the third stage. There was no bottleneck in breaking through to the mid stage of the third level; he only needed about ten years of precipitation for it to happen naturally.
Even if he was a bit anxious, utilizing that treasured "Power of the Sun," he could very likely complete the upgrade.
"Looking at it this way, the 'Golden Scale Fruit' which is so sought after by ordinary golden core cultivators doesn’t seem that important to me?"
The thought passed through Liu Yu's mind.
With that in mind, his greed dissipated, and he gradually calmed down.
The most important thing now was to head to the Central Domain to find the follow-up for the "qingyang skill."
Zhuo Mengzhen's discovery and Liu Yu's pondering were merely a matter of an instant.
After a breath, due to fluctuations in her mood, Zhuo Mengzhen's aura produced a significant disturbance. Caught off guard, she still transmitted a hint of it through the "azure soul veil."
This hint of aura was very subtle, much fainter than the rich aura of the demonic crocodiles in the swamp.
However, due to the difference in species, and since it belonged to a golden core cultivator, it was still quite "conspicuous."
"This is bad!"
Zhuo Mengzhen reacted and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, her azure soul veil’s spiritual light brightened.
The transparent shield that covered the five people instantly solidified a considerable amount, effectively preventing the aura from spilling out.
But that hint of leaked aura ultimately couldn’t be retrieved!
At this moment, Mu Yunyan, Old Daoist of the Azure Tower, and High Sword Cold also reacted, but they could only watch the situation unfold.
Including Liu Yu, the five held their breaths, and even the escape light stopped.
They deeply understood the danger of the moment and hoped not to be discovered. They wished that after a few breaths, that hint of aura would naturally dissipate.
But sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways; the more one fears something, the more it happens.
One breath, two breaths…
In Liu Yu's spiritual perception, after about two breaths, two waves of third-stage spiritual pressure suddenly appeared in the center area of the Golden Scale Fruit Tree.
Soon after, two demonic consciousnesses swept over, one in front and one behind.
"We've been discovered."
In the next moment, Liu Yu's expression turned somewhat grim.
