Chapter 1053: Windfall from Nowhere
In an instant, the crowd, which had fallen into a slight silence because Zhu Fei had slain the fierce burly man, began to stir restlessly once more.
However, this time, even though people's hearts were excited and eager, no one dared to make the first move.
After all, nobody was foolish, everyone knew that whoever dared to step forward first at this moment would inevitably become the focus and target of everyone else.
And among them, some people's gazes subconsciously turned towards Zhu Fei in the near distance, their eyes flashing as if anticipating something.
Seeing their reaction, Zhu Fei immediately sneered coldly inside.
Did they really think he was a brainless impulsive fool? They're actually waiting for him, hoping he'd make the first move.
Though with Zhu Fei's current strength and trump cards, he was unafraid of the Golden Immortal Practitioners present, yet he would never engage in something so clearly contrived for others' benefit at his expense.
As time dragged on, some people present finally began to show signs of impatience.
Before, when the Daze Fruits were not yet ripe, many present were not particularly worried.
First, because unripe Daze Fruits usually didn't attract anyone's attempt to take them, and second, they wouldn't draw the attention of those with ulterior motives.
But things were different now; once ripe, the Daze Fruits would emit a unique fragrance.
And this fragrance could be detected first by cultivators, and even some monsters would be attracted to it.
"Whoosh—"
At this moment, someone in the crowd finally couldn't hold back and swiftly darted towards one of the ripe Daze Fruits to grab it.
As the distance to the Daze Fruit grew shorter, a look of elation appeared on the face of this cultivator.
But at that moment, an incredibly sharp blade force suddenly traversed the space, reaching the cultivator almost instantly!
The cultivator didn't even have time to react and was immediately slashed in the chest by the blade force with a "puff".
Instantly, the cultivator vomited blood and was sent flying, his face displaying shock and anger, shouting, "Wang Ming, you ambushed me!"
The cultivator known as Wang Ming showed no expression; after repelling that cultivator with one strike, he turned into a beam of blade light and swiftly charged towards the earlier Daze Fruit.
"Swish—"
Before the others could react, that Daze Fruit was already in Wang Ming's hands.
He then swiftly and decisively vanished from the spot without any hesitation.
Zhu Fei watched this scene, and his eyes shone subtly with light.
This person has such a decisive mind, ruthless methods, and immense daring.
By now, everyone had fully reacted from the earlier change.
Nobody hesitated anymore as they scrambled, employing their methods, rushing towards the remaining eleven Daze Fruits.
Only Zhu Fei refrained from rushing to snatch those Daze Fruits; instead, he began communicating with the Creation God Tripod inside his Purple Mansion's Niwan Palace, connecting a trace of opportunity to the Daze Fruit tree.
After all, given how long this Daze Fruit tree had been standing here, Zhu Fei would never believe no one had thought of claiming it for themselves during this time.
Since someone wanted to claim it, yet the tree still stood here, it suggested that transplanting this tree wasn't easy.
At present, Zhu Fei could only rely on the Creation God Tripod, wondering if he could utilize its extraordinary properties to successfully transplant it.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
It was then that the Creation God Tripod deep within Zhu Fei's Purple Mansion suddenly began to vibrate gently.
At the same time, Zhu Fei suddenly realized his Immortal Essence was being rapidly consumed.
With the consumption of his Immortal Essence, Zhu Fei was pleasantly surprised to find that his connection with the Daze Fruit tree became remarkably close.
He could even clearly sense its breathing and the circulation of its surrounding energy.
It seems there indeed is hope, Zhu Fei thought joyfully to himself.
Since there's a chance to transplant this Daze Fruit tree, those Daze Fruits naturally become insignificant.
Zhu Fei began focusing completely on how to transplant the Daze Fruit tree, paying little attention to the current contests.
Gradually, Zhu Fei felt his Immortal Essence nearing exhaustion.
He quickly retrieved several Pills to restore Immortal Essence and continued his current endeavor.
Several moments later, just as Zhu Fei was about to fully embed his consciousness into the Daze Fruit tree, he suddenly heard a strong whistling sound in his ear.
His eyes instinctively focused, and he turned to find, to his astonishment, two Daze Fruits rapidly flying towards him!
Behind those two Daze Fruits, five cultivators were in fast pursuit.
Damn! Is this for real?
Zhu Fei instantly understood the scene before him was because of the scuffle among those five cultivators, and their clashing Qi Force sent the two Daze Fruits flying toward him.
Since it was a windfall, Zhu Fei certainly saw no reason to pass it up.
In the blink of an eye, a large hand suddenly appeared before Zhu Fei, snatching the two Daze Fruits into the Divine Tripod Space before the five could even react!
"You...!"
The five men behind were taken aback by this change, their expressions quickly turning sour.
Three of them managed better; after a polite gesture to Zhu Fei, they immediately turned themselves towards the remaining Daze Fruits.
But the other two, with dark looks and vicious gleams in their eyes, weren't as reasonable.
Among them, a man in a long robe even said to Zhu Fei, "Fellow cultivator, those two Daze Fruits were ours. Would you kindly return them to us? You will be rewarded."
"Oh, and how do you plan to reward me?"
Upon hearing the robed man's words, Zhu Fei let out a cold sneer inside.
Did they really think him a fool? Such a poor excuse, and yet he had the nerve to say it.
If they intended to exchange goods with him, as long as the items were decent, Zhu Fei wouldn't mind a trade.
But the issue was that the two showed no intent of trading anything with him at all.
The reason being, if they were sincere about exchanging the Daze Fruits, they should have offered their items right after speaking.
What kind of behavior was this? Having to prompt them clearly showed no intent for a deal.
