Chapter 2394: The Two Shocked
The moment this voice rang out, Elder Qi and Gu Yue were both stunned.
Immediately afterwards, their eyes revealed a look of shock.
Zhou Yu had just broken through to the Integration Realm, while they had long been seasoned Integration Realm experts.
However, the moment Zhou Yu’s Divine Thought Communication descended, that profound and solid feeling made them sense an indescribable oppression.
This feeling, they had only experienced on seniors of higher realms.
Could it be that this new Integration Realm cultivator could actually rival a Tribulation Crossing expert?
Impossible!
Although they didn’t understand, they dared not show the slightest disrespect to this cultivator they had never met.
After a moment of shock, Elder Qi took a deep breath and said:
"Then, the two of us will intrude."
After speaking, the two of them floated over to Zhou Yu’s cave residence.
When they arrived, Zhou Yu was already standing at the entrance.
Seeing the two of them, Zhou Yu smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoists, please come in!"
Elder Qi and Gu Yue, upon seeing Zhou Yu’s face, couldn’t help but show their shock once more.
Although at their realm, changing one’s appearance was not difficult at all.
However, while appearance can be easily altered, the aura of life on one’s body cannot be changed.
An ancient monster who has lived for a thousand years, no matter how young they appear, their life aura is still around a thousand years and cannot be concealed.
And they could tell in an instant, Zhou Yu was definitely not over two hundred years old.
To reach the Integration Realm before the age of two hundred, what kind of concept is this?
This is simply a prodigy.
The two were increasingly shocked in their hearts.
At the same time, they politely cupped their hands towards Zhou Yu.
"Excuse the disturbance."
Afterwards, the two followed Zhou Yu inside.
After sitting down, Zhou Yu casually waved his hand, and two plates of Spirit Fruits appeared in front of them.
Zhou Yu smiled and said:
"My humble abode is simple and crude, nothing much to entertain you with."
"Just some Spirit Fruits, please have a taste."
Looking at the Spirit Fruits in front of them, Elder Qi and Gu Yue didn’t think much at first.
However, upon picking up one piece.
The Spirit Fruit in their hands suddenly emanated a visible Dragon-shaped Qi.
Elder Qi’s fingers slightly trembled, and then his pupils widened, filled with disbelief.
"This is... Dragon Blood Fruit?"
At this moment, Gu Yue beside him also noticed the anomaly of the Spirit Fruit in her hand.
She too showed a look of shock.
Examined it carefully.
Then, even her breath became rapid.
"It really is Dragon Blood Fruit."
Zhou Yu slightly smiled.
"Fellow Daoists have sharp eyes, this fruit is indeed Dragon Blood Fruit."
This Dragon Blood Fruit was something Zhou Yu accidentally obtained a hundred years ago while on a mission from the high-ranking officials of Fengyuan City to leave for Bone Forest just before an Alien Race siege.
The greatest effects of this Dragon Blood Fruit are twofold.
First, it aids Void Refinement Realm experts to break through their bottlenecks.
Second, it enhances the physical strength of cultivators.
For Integration Realm experts like Elder Qi and Gu Yue, breaking through bottlenecks is naturally not an issue.
However, consuming multiple Dragon Blood Fruits can still continuously enhance their physical strength.
To them, it is an invaluable treasure.
And at this moment, there were ten Dragon Blood Fruits placed in front of each of them.
This gesture is truly astonishing.
No wonder the two were so unsettled.
However, for Zhou Yu, this was not difficult to achieve.
Back when he obtained the Dragon Blood Fruit, Zhou Yu had collected the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, and transplanted it into the Four Directions Realm.
Utilizing the incredible powers of the Four Directions Realm, to put it simply, Zhou Yu now enjoys an abundance of Dragon Blood Fruits.
Elder Qi and Gu Yue couldn’t care less about maintaining face.
They immediately devoured the Dragon Blood Fruit in their hands.
Sure enough, a pure Dragon Blood Power instantly spread within their bodies.
They merely circulated their cultivation technique slightly, and this power was refined.
Following this, they felt a slight enhancement in their physical bodies.
With excitement, Elder Qi and Gu Yue looked at Zhou Yu, hesitant to speak.
Zhou Yu guessed their intention and smiled:
"Fellow Daoists, you may take all these Dragon Blood Fruits with you."
"Hahaha..."
Elder Qi, unconcerned about losing face, said directly:
"Thank you so much, Daoist!"
As he spoke, he quickly stowed them away.
While Gu Yue wasn’t as unrestrained, she too hastily collected them.
After doing all this, Elder Qi seemed a bit embarrassed and cupped his hands towards Zhou Yu.
"I am an elder of Fengyuan City, my surname is Qi, Qi Xuande."
"This is Daoist Gu Yue, the head of the Gu Family."
"May I know your name, Daoist?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said:
"My surname is Zhou, Zhou Yu."
Upon hearing this name, Elder Qi’s face froze.
This name seemed familiar.
But he couldn’t remember at the moment.
At this time, Gu Yue spoke:
"I had previously heard from a branch head of my Gu Family that Daoist Zhou was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Integration Realm. I was planning to gather some Spiritual Medicine to personally deliver them to Daoist Zhou to assist his breakthrough."
"I didn’t expect I was a step too late."
"However, Daoist Zhou’s single breakthrough demonstrates extraordinary talent; it is truly worthy of celebration."
Gu Yue’s words not only subtly expressed goodwill towards Zhou Yu, but also equated to offering Zhou Yu a favor.
Moreover, it invisibly drew them closer to each other.
This shows how adept she was at handling things.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu laughed and said:
"Daoist Gu, you are too kind."
"I was merely trying to break through and was fortunate to succeed on the first attempt."
"By the way, I just broke through the Integration Realm and still have many uncertainties. I wonder if the two of you could help clarify them."
"Of course, having been at the Integration stage for many years, although I dare not claim expertise, we do have plenty of experience. Feel free to speak, Daoist Zhou; we can exchange insights."
Elder Qi said proactively.
Zhou Yu chuckled; without any reservation, he immediately began exchanging insights with the two.
At first, Elder Qi and Gu Yue thought they might have some advantage in this aspect.
They also considered exchanging experiences as a way to repay Zhou Yu for the fruits.
But as the discussion deepened, Zhou Yu’s unique insights in many aspects, especially concerning the Primordial Spirit and Body Refinement, were unheard of by them. After the exchange, they gained greatly.
In many ways, they even felt enlightened.
After the exchange, the way they looked at Zhou Yu had already taken on the respect typically shown to a senior.
Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for clearing up my doubts."
Elder Qi and Gu Yue both smiled wryly and quickly responded with a salute.
"Ashamed, indeed."
"We should be thanking Daoist Zhou for the guidance."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and did not speak more on the issue.
Instead, he changed the topic.
"Fellow Daoists, there’s one more thing I would like to inquire about."
"Have either of you heard of the Netherworld?"
