Chapter 148: Chapter 1: The Fruit Ripens, The Contest Begins
As several sea turtles equivalent to the middle stages of Qi Cultivation clashed with the jellyfish.
Not long after, those desk-sized sea turtles in the second echelon reached the mid-mountain side.
Then they joined the fight together.
Although the jellyfish possessed significant toxicity, it was clear that these turtles, which fed on jellyfish, had considerable immunity to the toxins.
Soon, a few 10-meter-wide jellyfish were completely overwhelmed and torn to shreds by the turtles.
And the jellyfish at the foot of the mountain, even with numerical superiority, were not very effective against the turtle predators.
They were being devoured by the turtles incessantly.
However, Fang Yun didn’t have the energy to pay attention to the battle between the turtles and jellyfish at the foot of the mountain at this moment.
After tearing apart the jellyfish, the turtles set their sights on the Five Elements Plants beside Fang Yun.
With their short, stubby legs, they began to charge towards the mountain peak.
Fang Yun’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and with a thought, the Spiritual Insect turned into a dazzling white light, heading straight for the head of one of the sea turtles in the middle stage of Qi Cultivation at the mountain base.
In just a flicker, the Spiritual Insect reached the head of the turtle.
Distracted by the allure of the fruits of the Five Elements Plants, the turtle failed to react in time and was pierced in the head by the Spiritual Insect.
The body that was charging up the mountain began to tumble back down after a pause.
Fang Yun only glanced at the turtle that had fallen down the mountain.
Then he turned his gaze toward the other middle-stage Qi Cultivation turtles.
Under Fang Yun’s guidance, the Spiritual Insect instantly flew towards another turtle.
However, as the first turtle died, the rest awoke from the lure of the fruits.
Seeing the white light of the Spiritual Insect flying towards them, they all opened their mouths, sending a volley of blue water arrows towards the white light.
Compared to the speed of the Spiritual Insect, the arrows were much slower.
But with so many turtles launching water arrows at once, it created a certain obstruction for the Spiritual Insect.
By the time it dodged the arrows and approached the middle-stage Qi Cultivation turtles.
The turtles had already withdrawn their limbs and heads into their shells.
This left the Spiritual Insect at a loss for what to do with them.
Seeing this from a distance, Fang Yun was somewhat surprised by the turtles’ battle wisdom.
However, by retracting their heads and limbs into their shells, while they avoided the attacks of the Spiritual Insect.
They also handed the initiative to Fang Yun.
Although it wasn’t easy for him to harm the turtles inside their shells.
It didn’t mean he had no way to deal with them.
Glancing at the fruit of the Five Elements Plants, which was losing its colorful radiance, it seemed that maturity was not far off.
Thus, Fang Yun continued to rest his left hand on the Five Elements Plants, continuously infusing them with Life Essence Qi.
At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and grasped the vine roots.
Mana from deep within his body was instantly channeled into the vines.
With a gentle flick of his hand, the vines extended towards the mid-mountain side in an instant.
They wrapped around the several Qi Refinement middle-stage turtles, and with another flick, tossed them high into the air, sending them plummeting down the mountain.
Above this mid-mountain section, the ground was at least a few hundred meters away, and the turtles, weighing at least several tons.
Falling from such a height, even for demon beasts, would likely cause serious injuries.
Sure enough, with a few muffled thuds, the turtles smashed into the ground below, creating several deep pits.
From this height, Fang Yun clearly saw blood flowing from the turtles’ noses and mouths.
They struggled continuously at the bottom of the pits, but climbing out was obviously not easy.
With these leading turtles dealt with, the rest at the early Qi Cultivation stage posed no real problem.
Those turtles that had extended their heads and limbs were left to the Spiritual Insect.
For those that had retracted into their shells, Fang Yun simply used the vines to toss them all down to the foot of the mountain.

Soon, all the turtles on the mountain had been tidied up by Fang Yun.
However, although it was easy to deal with them, the turtles did not seem to fear Fang Yun’s methods.
Instead, they charged up the mountain fearlessly and incessantly.
They quickly reoccupied their position on the mid-mountain side.
Therefore, Fang Yun had to continuously wave the vines in his hand, sweeping these turtles back down the mountain.
Just as he thought that the turmoil caused by the fruit of the Five Elements Plants would be easily resolved.
Five large ships appeared on the distant sea.
They were heading towards the island at breakneck speed.
Simultaneously, with a cry like that of a baby, a wide-mouthed giant creature several dozen meters long surged onto the shore from the nearby sea.
Then, without any hesitation, it used its short limbs to slide quickly in the direction of the volcano.
As it moved, the crying from its mouth never stopped.
Affected by these sounds, the remaining jellyfish on the island burst open one after another.
Their bodies’ water splashed in all directions.
Similarly, the turtles on the island began to bleed profusely from their heads, and after a brief struggle, they perished en masse.
Fang Yun stood on the volcano, watching in astonishment as the giant creature, resembling a huge baby fish from his previous life, moved swiftly towards his location.
He hadn’t expected there to be such creatures similar to those of his previous life in the ocean.
Moreover, there are such means of attack, clearly, Fang Yun is somewhat wary of the soundwave attacks demonstrated by the giant dollfish.
However, compared to the dollfish before his eyes, it’s those fast-approaching boats in the distance that truly warrant Fang Yun’s concern.
After all, judging by the speed of those boats, they are definitely not carrying ordinary people.
In this world of cultivation, if they are not ordinary people, then they can only be cultivators.
Fang Yun himself is a cultivator, so he naturally knows how difficult his fellow cultivators can be.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun glanced at the fruit of the Five Elements Plants that was about to ripen.
Thus, without paying any more attention to the sea turtles halfway up the mountain, he poured Life Essence Qi into the Five Elements Plants in his hands with all his might.
Luckily, the fruit of the Five Elements Plants was already nearing ripeness when the giant dollfish began its charge up the mountain.
The fruit of the Five Elements Plants in Fang Yun’s hands had finally ripened completely.
The ripe fruit was still milky white in color, and if there was any difference from the previous fruit,
this fruit seemed more translucent compared to the last.
Beneath the milky white skin of the fruit, one could vaguely see a milky liquid circulating.
When squeezed, it felt a bit squishy.
It smelled faintly of milk too.
Although he really wanted to swallow the fruit in one bite,
at this moment, he still suppressed the impulse.
After all, once the fruit was picked, the Five Elements Plants would enter a state of death, transforming into an abundance of Life Essence Qi.
And at this time, didn’t Fang Yun want to defend against the enemy’s attacks using the roots of the Five Elements Plants?
Moreover, in his original plan, Fang Yun also intended to use the confrontation with the enemy this time to develop the defensive capabilities formed by the roots of the Five Elements Plants.
Under such circumstances, he certainly couldn’t pick the fruit of the Five Elements Plants.
With the fruit’s maturation, Fang Yun beckoned lightly, and the Five Elements Plants shrank, re-entering his Dantian.
Then, the roots of the Five Elements Plants stretched out from his Dantian and around Fang Yun, transforming into a pale yellow Earth Attribute.
A portion of the roots extended continuously, forming a pale yellow Light Shield that enshrouded Fang Yun.
After the Light Shield formed, the remaining roots covered it layer by layer, eventually encasing Fang Yun securely within.
Having completed this step, Fang Yun peered through the deliberately left gaps between the roots at the giant dollfish that had charged up the mountainside, feeling a sense of security.
Just at this moment, perhaps because the fruit had fully matured and then retracted all its fragrance and fluctuations,
it caused the Spirit Salamander to come to its senses completely upon reaching halfway up the mountain.
It abruptly halted its charge up the mountain, then shook its large head in confusion.
It sniffed the air once again.
In its large eyes, a hint of perplexity flashed by.
Then, looking at the yellow energy shield atop the mountain, the Spirit Salamander’s eyes filled with apprehension.
It hastily retreated a few steps, but upon looking back, it also saw the five large boats that had already docked on the beach.
This immediately left the Spirit Salamander in a dilemma.
After hesitating, the Spirit Salamander moved to the opposite side of the volcano and then hid behind a large boulder, peeking out at the yellow energy shield on the mountaintop and then at the five large boats below at intervals.
It wanted to see which places seemed safer.
Fang Yun, observing the giant dollfish’s movements, could clearly see the anthropomorphic emotions flashing in its protruding large eyes.
He was surprised at the intelligence exhibited by this demon beast.
However, since it did not continue to charge up the mountain, Fang Yun did not bother with it anymore.
After all, compared to the cultivators who were about to arrive, this demon beast was indeed not much of a threat.
On the other side, aboard the five boats that had docked on the beach,
Lin Zhenfeng squinted his eyes, quietly observing the yellow Light Shield above the volcano.
He then looked at the densely packed dead marine creatures on the beach
and the jellyfish and sea turtles that littered the entire island.
He turned to the short and chubby middle-aged man beside him and asked, “Chang Fu, what do you think?”
The short and chubby middle-aged man raised his head to look at the yellow Light Shield atop the mountain and cautiously said, “Young Master, judging by the commotion on this island, there seems to be a rare treasure of genius presenting itself.
It’s likely a precious Spiritual Medicine.
It’s just that someone has already beaten us to the punch!
To be on the safe side, we should first capture the Spirit Salamander alive before making other plans!”
Lin Zhenfeng listened quietly to the middle-aged man’s words, then nodded, “You make sense, in theory, we should indeed capture the Spirit Salamander alive first before considering the matter of this Spiritual Medicine.
However, now that the Spirit Salamander is on the mountain, it’s already within my grasp, there can be no accidents.
But this suddenly emerged Spiritual Medicine is obviously a gift from the heavens to me; it is said that one’s refusal of heaven’s gifts would lead to misfortune.
The things given by the heavens, if I do not take them, I would be unworthy of this opportunity.
Regarding the concerns you mentioned, I am aware of them.
However, on our Lin Family’s territory, there’s no possibility for those foreign powerhouses to appear.
If they were really powerful, they wouldn’t be sneaking around like this!
I reckon it’s at most a fortunate Loose Cultivator!
For such a Loose Cultivator, possessing too good a treasure is actually a curse.
As a good deed, this Young Master will help him hold onto it!”
