Chapter 2039: Chapter 2007: Beast-Eared Girl

The entire area surrounding the Spirit Releasing Abyss fell into a silence, even those lingering around to pick up treasures dared not make a sound, as if afraid of disturbing Li Chen.

Even more terrifying was that, due to the low profile of these people, their hearts seemingly became much calmer. Some cultivators originally overwhelmed by greed and nearly invaded by the Nether Demon Qi also gradually stabilized their Dao Hearts.

When someone reaches a certain level of strength, the things they can accomplish often exceed their own expectations.

And Li Chen was precisely such an existence that had surpassed a certain level!

The entire Spirit Releasing Abyss inexplicably fell into stillness because everyone knew that a very powerful presence had appeared here.

"It’s just a virtual shadow, killing it is still too boring." Li Chen shrugged, chuckling as he shook his head.

Although it was just a virtual shadow, it burst out with the powerful strength of the Ninth Order, even if only for one strike.

However, Li Chen knew that if he truly faced such a level of opponent, such an attack could be continuously unleashed.

Of course, this was also because Li Chen rated it using Mo Daoyi as a standard.

When Mo Daoyi attacked his defense formation, he used a continuous barrage to break through his Defense Array layer by layer, making Li Chen naturally think that Ninth Order Experts should start with that level of power.

This also resulted from Li Chen having no formal mentor; otherwise, with a Ninth Order mentor, he’d know that there are also differences among Ninth Order Experts, and these differences are considerable!

Powerful like Daiyu Heavenly Venerable, capable of crushing over ten peers of the same Ninth Order rank, while weaker like the Progenitor just now, who got destroyed and nailed by an Eighth Rank Shen Heaven Realm cultivator like Li Chen with one strike.

"Now, does anyone still want the things in my hand?" At this time, Li Chen looked around, casually assessing treasures like Shadow Soul and Void Inscribed Profound Gold, drawing envious glances.

However, their gaze stopped at mere envy, daring not to covet further.

They hadn’t known earlier but realized after Li Chen’s action that he was truly a Super Expert. For such an expert to not rob your treasures already showed considerable restraint, daring to covet what he holds would truly mean courting death.

"I’m actually a very approachable person." Seeing no one spoke, Li Chen couldn’t help but chuckle: "If you want it, we can talk about it."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, some couldn’t help but be intrigued.

It wasn’t because of anything else, but from the information implied in Li Chen’s words.

The treasures in Li Chen’s possession were indeed extremely precious, but their value depended on the individual. To some, they might only be collectibles, but to others, they were irreplaceable!

Among these people, several strong individuals had been eyeing certain treasures with envy, having searched for them for a long time to no avail.

"Senior!" At this moment, a beast-eared, adorably charming girl approached: "I want the Mind-controlling Fruit in Senior’s hand. Of course, it would be a fair exchange. Anything Senior asks for, as long as I have it, I am willing to trade."

"A trade, huh..." Li Chen chuckled, scrutinized the beast-eared girl up and down, and then nodded: "It’s not impossible." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Once upon a time, Li Chen was merely among the lowest tier of cultivators. In the blink of an eye, he was now being called ’Senior.’

Moreover, for cultivators, seniority is mostly divided by cultivation level, while actual age is not of much concern. With his current cultivation, many would likely call him Senior.

However, the beast-eared girl seemed to misunderstand Li Chen, blushing as she quickly retreated a few steps: "This... this won’t do."

Li Chen paused, then realized.

Seeing the blushing beast-eared girl, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Hearing Li Chen’s laughter, the beast-eared girl couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, yet for some reason, upon hearing his hearty laughter, she found him less intimidating.

Earlier, how domineering Li Chen seemed when he nailed the Progenitor’s shadow?

Silence reigned in all directions, and no one dared to speak up. But now, it seemed this human Senior wasn’t that hard to talk to.

Thinking this, the beast-eared girl couldn’t help but take another look at Li Chen.

Other cultivators around also couldn’t help but look at the beast-eared girl with envy. No matter how they looked at it, Li Chen seemed quite fond of this young lady. For a strong presence like him to notice someone, how many low-born or even insignificant cultivators dream of such a thing?

As long as Li Chen remained here, surely no one would dare to trouble this beast-eared girl.

To garner the attention of such a powerful presence, anyone wanting to target the beast-eared girl would have to reconsider themselves.

"Don’t worry, I have no interest in your body." At this moment, Li Chen gradually stopped his laughter, smiling at the beast-eared girl: "Having called me Senior, if I pursued you, wouldn’t that make me a cradle-robber?"

"Information." Li Chen snapped his fingers: "What I want is simple, information about the Spirit Releasing Abyss. Whether ancient anecdotes or legends, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s information about inside the Spirit Releasing Abyss, the more the better."

"Legends and anecdotes?" Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the beast-eared girl couldn’t help but be stunned.

She had speculated on many things, even considering that Li Chen might demand something exorbitant, yet the Mind-controlling Fruit was too useful for her, thus she mustered the courage to come forward. She hadn’t expected Li Chen’s condition to be so simple.

"Do you have any?" Li Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The beast-eared girl replied excitedly: "And there are quite a few."

"No rush, take your time, I have all the time in the world." Li Chen nodded with a smile: "As long as what you say is useful, this thing is yours."

With that, Li Chen produced an exceptionally crystal-clear fruit.

This fruit was the Mind-controlling Fruit the beast-eared girl mentioned.

The Mind-controlling Fruit has a wide range of uses: it can assist in cultivation, strengthen the Dao Heart, and increase soul power, aiding cultivators to enter the Soul Realm early. Overall, it’s considered a versatile and highly sought-after Spirit Fruit.

Its broad utility and extremely scarce production make countless cultivators covet the Mind-controlling Fruit.
