"Something beneficial to both the physical body and Soul Body, and preferably a Deity-level treasure..."
Upon hearing Mr. Liu's words, Ye Yunfei thought it over briefly in his heart.
"Mr. Liu, I obtained this kind of Golden Lotus Fruit within that Divine World. I don't know if it's useful," Ye Yunfei said directly, taking out a pale golden fruit and holding it in his palm for Mr. Liu to see.
Ye Yunfei recalled the time he and Su Qingluo had barged into the small mountain village where Mr. Liu lived in seclusion. Mr. Liu had not only refrained from making trouble for them but had instead given generous gifts to them both and even invited them to his home as guests.
And here in the Colorless Abyss, Mr. Liu had intervened to save Ye Yunfei.
So, although Ye Yunfei knew this Golden Lotus Fruit was undoubtedly incomparably precious, he brought it out anyway. If Mr. Liu needed it, Ye Yunfei would not hesitate to give it to him.
Returning kindness was one of Ye Yunfei's traits!
"This is... Young man, did you truly obtain this fruit within that Divine World? But that Divine World seemed to have been sealed with a powerful Deity-level magical ability; no treasures from within could be brought out. Even I wouldn't have been able to bring anything from that world out. How did you manage it?"
Seeing the Golden Lotus Fruit in Ye Yunfei's palm, Mr. Liu's eyes narrowed, and his expression became excited, yet also somewhat puzzled, not believing Ye Yunfei could have brought treasures out from that Divine World.
The scene where the old vine had presented Ye Yunfei with its essence blood and Golden Lotus Fruit had only been witnessed directly by the Dark Ancestor. By the time Mr. Liu arrived at Deity Luojiang's tomb, Ye Yunfei had already been sent away by the old vine.
"Senior, I'm not deceiving you. I really did bring this Golden Lotus Fruit out from that Divine World," Ye Yunfei replied.
"This Golden Lotus Fruit is incomparably precious! To think you were actually able to bring it out from that Divine World, it's simply unbelievable!"
Mr. Liu's Soul Power probed the fruit and began to discover that it seemed to contain an incredibly pure life force, with potentially immense benefits for both the physical body and the Soul Body—precisely what he needed. Moreover, this Golden Lotus Fruit was likely a Deity's treasure!
"Young man, may I take a closer look?"
The more Mr. Liu looked, the more excited he became. He reached out and made the request.
"Senior, I’m giving you this Golden Lotus Fruit."
Ye Yunfei could see Mr. Liu was extremely interested in the fruit; it was most likely the treasure he needed.
"Senior, to be frank, I obtained this Golden Lotus Fruit from the area near Deity Luojiang's tomb," Ye Yunfei said.
"What?!
You obtained this Golden Lotus Fruit near Deity Luojiang's tomb?! Young man, are you referring to this Divine Tomb?" Mr. Liu said, pointing a finger.
A golden divine tomb was simulated and appeared within this hazy void space, radiating waves of golden light. On the tomb was a stele inscribed with the words, "The Tomb of Deity Luojiang."
"Yes, that's the one. Senior, you know of this Divine Tomb as well?"
Ye Yunfei nodded in confirmation.
"Of course I know it, because I went there myself.
Young man, to think you actually managed to bring treasure away from that Divine Tomb. What skillful means!" Mr. Liu couldn't help but praise.
"Senior, it was merely a fortunate coincidence. I suppose I was just lucky," Ye Yunfei answered.
"In truth, luck is part of one’s own strength," Mr. Liu remarked.
"Young man, I indeed require this Golden Lotus Fruit because I believe it should benefit my wife. Are you willing to give it to me?" Mr. Liu asked.
"Senior, I have more here. You may take them all if you need," Ye Yunfei said, taking out seven more Golden Lotus Fruits and presenting them before Mr. Liu.
"You have this many more!" Mr. Liu was pleasantly surprised.
"Then, let's do it this way, young man. I will only take three.
If these Golden Lotus Fruits benefit my wife, three will already be sufficient.
If the benefits aren't great, there will be even less need for so many."
After a moment of thought, Mr. Liu took three of the fruits in total.
The old vine had gifted Ye Yunfei eight Golden Lotus Fruits. With Mr. Liu taking three, Ye Yunfei still had five left.
"Young man, thank you.
The reason I entered that Divine World within the Colorless Abyss this time was to find some Deity-level treasures. I never imagined I would ultimately receive them from you.
I owe you a favor."
Putting away the three Golden Lotus Fruits, Mr. Liu spoke gratefully to Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, please don't stand on ceremony.
Speaking of which, the kindness you've shown me is far greater," Ye Yunfei quickly replied.
"Hehe, you are a junior. How could I take advantage of you? All in all, I owe you a favor," Mr. Liu said. Having obtained the three fruits, his mood was excellent; he had a premonition these Golden Lotus Fruits would definitely benefit his wife.
"Do you plan to leave, or continue staying within this Colorless Abyss?" Mr. Liu asked.
"I intend to leave.
But there are still a group of people from our Light Faction in the Colorless Abyss. They are probably searching for me all over, and I must rendezvous with them before leaving."
Ye Yunfei considered briefly before answering.
Now, Ye Yunfei was starting to worry somewhat that the Light Faction members led by Elder Xue might have encountered the Dark Ancestor. Given the Dark Ancestor's terrifying strength, Elder Xue and the others would absolutely be no match.
"Very well. Who do you want to find? Let's hurry and go search for them now," Mr. Liu thought for a moment before speaking.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Ye Yunfei exclaimed in delight.
With an exceptional powerhouse like Mr. Liu accompanying him, Ye Yunfei’s confidence grew substantially.
"Give me the Soul Body auras of those people."
Mr. Liu requested.
Thus, Ye Yunfei immediately simulated the Soul Body auras of Elder Xue and those other Earth Immortal experts of the Light Faction and handed them to Mr. Liu.
"Let's go, to find them."
Mr. Liu said. With a flick of his sleeve, he brought Ye Yunfei along and vanished in an instant.
At the same time.
Elsewhere in the Colorless Abyss.
"The Ancestor has ordered that all these members of the Light Faction be captured alive!"
A large group of Dark Faction forces had completely surrounded Elder Xue and the other Light Faction members.
For some time previously, Elder Xue and the others had been searching everywhere for Ye Yunfei, intending to leave the Colorless Abyss together with him once they found him, and return to the Three Thousand Worlds. Although Elder Xue and these Light Faction members had been living in seclusion within the Colorless Abyss for a long time, after learning that the Dark Faction had once again started their War of Apocalypse, they all prepared to return and assist, fighting the Dark Faction together.
Just as Elder Xue was leading everyone in the search for Ye Yunfei, a large group of Dark Faction forces suddenly arrived, surrounding Elder Xue and the others, loudly claiming they were acting on the Dark Ancestor’s order to capture these Light Faction members.
"Prepare for battle!
Our Light Faction and the Dark Faction are fated mortal enemies. Since we've encountered each other, let us fight wholeheartedly!"
Elder Xue proclaimed firmly.
"Fight wholeheartedly!"
All members of the Light Faction shouted after Elder Xue, each one’s combat spirit boiling over.
In the distance, a stretch of space was shrouded in absolute darkness, with no trace of light and pitch black everywhere. Clusters of shadowy figures invisible to the naked eye stood within this dark space.
"Your Majesty, the Dark Queen, the two groups of people over there belong to the Light Faction and Dark Faction respectively. These two major powers are sworn enemies.
It is best if our Abyssal Realm refrains from interfering in the affairs of these two powers," one of the shadowy clusters said respectfully.
