Chapter 498: Taking the Pill
Fragrance filled the room.
The Nine-Illusion Heavenly Orchid bloomed brilliantly, its petals radiant with dew.
Qin Sang sat by the jade pool, absentmindedly trailing his fingers through the spring water, lost in thought as he recalled his earlier conversation with Wandering Man.
Restoring his foundation was only one of the Purple Cloud Fruit’s many effects. For other cultivators, especially demonic beasts, such a natural treasure was something they would stop at nothing to obtain.
Wandering Man had discovered a vague lead while at the sect. The Taiyi Core Sect had always paid close attention to every kind of spiritual herb; whether rumors were true or not, they would gather information and investigate.
To verify it, Wandering Man had first hidden himself for several years within the Yuling Sect’s stronghold at Immortal Demon City.
Immortal Demon City was the largest immortal cultivation city closest to Heavenly Demon Hill within the Small Cold Domain. It was said to be built with the support of Heavenly Demon Hill and served as a bridge between the demonic beasts and the immortal cultivators of the Small Cold Domain.
This alone showed how close the Yuling Sect was to Heavenly Demon Hill.
In the end, Wandering Man had even joined a merchant caravan and infiltrated Heavenly Demon Hill several times. Though he spoke lightly of it, Qin Sang could easily imagine how perilous those experiences must have been.
Since ancient times, humans and demons had struggled to coexist not merely because of prejudice.
Thus, it had taken Wandering Man all these years to finally confirm the existence of the Purple Cloud Fruit. Yet the exact details would only become clear once they saw it with their own eyes.
Wandering Man had agreed to accompany Qin Sang first, then pursue his own business afterward.
