525: Leave the instance! The consequences of the Sky Patrol's forced search!

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect Dungeon, Ruins City area.

A crashing sound echoed!

Dense dark clouds pressed down upon the canopy of the Jianmu Tree.

The clouds covering 30,000 kilometers unleashed a torrential downpour after a flash of lightning and thunder.

Su Lie stood on a branch of the Jianmu Tree, watching as some dry, withered branches, nourished by the rainwater, unexpectedly burst forth with new vitality.

They plumped up at a visible speed; the shriveled, ancient branches were reborn.

The dark green leaves gradually washed away the dust, transforming into vibrant emerald leaves.

The Jianmu Tree began to shake.

The 30,000-kilometer area it covered experienced a violent tremor.

But the ground did not crack, nor were any buildings damaged.

Through communication with the Jianmu Tree, Su Lie learned that it was stretching its shriveled roots.

He also discovered.

In some courtyards and Gardens protected by arrays within the Ruins City, a large number of flowers were blooming, and fresh, emerald green grass was growing.

"The plants you see were all nurtured by me!"

At this moment, the voice of the Jianmu Tree sounded in Su Lie's ear: "Benefactor! The immortal dew has begun to condense. You can start collecting it from the topmost leaves! But you need to prepare a sufficiently large bottle!"

"I am already prepared!"

Su Lie replied, and he flapped his great desolation wings and flew up.

In the blink of an eye.

He arrived at the top of the Jianmu Tree's canopy.

By then, the torrential rain had gradually lessened, turning into a dense drizzle.

When the dark clouds dispersed, sunlight poured through.

And when the rain quietly ceased.

Through the sunlight, Su Lie saw a drop of crystal clear dew, emanating a natural fragrance, condensed on the tender green leaves at the top of the Jianmu Tree's canopy.

Although the dewdrop looked small on the leaf, a single drop of immortal dew was actually half the size of a person.

Su Lie held the bottle and approached the tip of the leaf.

Before he could make his next move, the Jianmu Tree actively curled the leaf, tilting its end upward.

Clink!

A drop of immortal dew entered the bottle in Su Lie's hand.

Just like that.

Su Lie, like a diligent bee, quickly flew between every single leaf.

He continued collecting until 11 o'clock the next day.

Only then had he collected 100,000 drops of immortal dew.

Su Lie stopped, looked around in a daze, and suddenly asked the Jianmu Tree: "Jianmu Tree! Have I completed my mission?"

"Wait two more days, my roots are still stretching! It needs time!"

The Jianmu Tree's gentle voice sounded: "Perhaps I will need one more rainfall, and I must trouble you again! To avoid wasting resources by asking the mist rule to assign you a mission, this is all I can do! Please forgive me!"

"You certainly know how to save!"

Su Lie nodded silently after hearing this.

The Jianmu Tree chuckled: "I was subjected to parasitize by the God of Filth for many years and long ago ran out of capital! This time, inviting the mist rule to ask for your help also required me to give up two descendants that I protected with my life! I hope you and the mist rule will treat them well!"

"Don't worry! When the Jianmu saplings arrive with me, they will definitely eat well and drink well! And they will have dedicated people to tend and care for them!"

Su Lie immediately replied.

Whoosh!

The Jianmu Tree excitedly manipulated its branches to bow to Su Lie: "This old one thanks the Benefactor in advance! There is still some immortal dew on the tree that can be collected; you may take it all!"

At this moment.

It actually took the initiative to expend power, guiding and gathering the immortal dew that had not yet been collected on the leaves.

When Su Lie looked up, he saw a long river surging toward him.

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out the god-grade glass bottle.

In just over ten minutes.

Su Lie had managed to collect the remaining tens of millions of drops of immortal dew on the tree into the glass bottle.

Currently.

The immortal dew in the glass bottle was like a vast ocean.

After putting the bottle into his storage slot, Su Lie then questioned the Jianmu Tree: "Well, you old tree! Since you possess such power, why didn't you help me yesterday!"

"Benefactor, please don't be angry! This old one had just escaped yesterday and was physically exhausted and weak! After recuperating until today, I have only recovered a fraction of my strength! If it weren't for your rainfall, this old one would have had to consume its origin to condense the immortal dew for you!"

The Jianmu Tree apologized repeatedly.

Su Lie laughed heartily, finding the Jianmu Tree quite interesting, so he went to a branch, sat cross-legged, and began conversing with it: "Jianmu Tree! You lived during the Immortal Dao era, can you tell me about the past?"

"No problem! No problem!"

The Jianmu Tree was happy to communicate with Su Lie and began recounting things that interested him.

One man and one tree conversed like this for two days.

On the third day.

The Jianmu Tree once again pleaded: "Benefactor! Please bring down rain one more time! The soil where my deepest roots reside is still dry! This old one miscalculated earlier, my apologies! My apologies!"

Su Lie waved his hand: "We are friends regardless of age; there's no need for this!"

Saying that.

Su Lie once again used his rain-summoning Skill.

This time, he also used his rain-summoning Talent 3 times.

Only then was the entire 30,000-kilometer area covered by the Jianmu Tree completely enveloped in a torrential downpour.

After the rain passed.

Just as Su Lie was about to ask the Jianmu Tree if it needed more rain.

A notification from the mist rule popped into his vision.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully completing the rainfall mission!]

[Reward: 1 Jianmu sapling! 1 Flat Peach Tree sapling!]

[Buzz!]

[This mission has activated the double reward rule from your title, Mission Maniac!]

[Note: Since the Jianmu Tree is a unique World Tree, the mist rule cannot grant you two Jianmu saplings, therefore the reward for 1 Jianmu sapling has been exchanged for 1 Flat Peach Tree sapling!]

In the blink of an eye.

Two palm-sized crystal balls appeared in Su Lie's hand.

Sealed inside the crystal balls were the two plant saplings.

The Jianmu sapling emitted a golden light; its trunk was straight like a pillar, and the bark had natural patterns.

The Flat Peach Tree sapling, however, emitted a soft white light; its trunk was slightly twisted, and its bark was similar to that of an ordinary peach tree.

Su Lie looked at the two treasures in his hands and lowered his head to speak to the Jianmu Tree beside him: "Thank you, old tree!"

"Haha! Benefactor, you mustn't! This is what you deserve! Furthermore, the Jianmu Clan cannot be trapped here until death.

For my daughter to find a kind owner is also her fortune!"

The Jianmu Tree responded to Su Lie with a smile.

Su Lie nodded.

Only then did he look at the two saplings in his hand.

[Jianmu Sapling: Red God-level Quality: Rule World Tree; An adult Jianmu Tree can connect Heaven and Earth, drawing down boundless starlight and silver moonlight, and can protect countless living beings born from the tree; it is a natural core for arrays.

Primary Resource: immortal dew;

Note: The Jianmu Sapling requires a deity with the Farmer profession to plant it.

Note: The Jianmu Sapling possesses its own spirituality.

It will only allow its roots to enter the soil and follow the arrangements of an owner it recognizes, otherwise, it would rather die than submit.]

... [Flat Peach Tree Sapling: Red God-level Quality: Rule Longevity Fruit Tree!

It can grow into an adult top-tier Flat Peach Tree, maturing once every 9,000 years, producing 1,200 Purple-Veined Yellow-Core Flat Peaches each time.

Consuming the Flat Peach grants 1 million years of Lifespan and awakens the Attribute: Fortune!

Note: The Flat Peach Tree Sapling requires a territory that has undergone a second advancement to be planted.

Note: Flat Peach pits, after being nourished by special innate divine water, will germinate, take root, and grow into new Flat Peach Trees.

Note: The Flat Peach Tree can be planted in any area of the Mist Main World.

Please take anti-theft measures.]

... "Good! Good! Good! Although this Flat Peach Tree sapling isn't as good as I imagined, it is still an extremely rare resource!"

Su Lie was instantly overjoyed after reading this: "And the Flat Peaches from this Flat Peach Tree can also be nourished by the fountain of eternity or the Titan Thunder Pool!

At that time, two different kinds of Flat Peaches can be produced!"

He hurriedly placed these two supreme treasures into his storage slot.

Immediately after.

He looked at the gains from the previous two days.

In that battle.

He had once again obtained 100 million basic resource treasure chests.

After stacking.

His total gain from this Dungeon trip was 113,300,030 god-tier basic resource treasure chests.

He had obtained a total of 1.9 trillion and 10 million Level 9 monster crystals.

Of these, 100,000 monster crystals came from the kills achieved by Su Lie's Thunder Arrow Skill.

The remaining monster crystals were dropped after the dragon flame, enhanced by the Pyre Master Skill, killed the Flying Maggot Demon Insect.

When his Skill was stacked with the special Treasure Refining critical hit effect of the dragon flame, it allowed Su Lie's attacks to possess a 10,900x Treasure Refining critical hit rate.

What Su Lie regretted was.

The Flying Maggot Demon Insect did not drop any Skills or Talents.

At the same time.

Su Lie also gained 200 million experience points.

This experience was stored within the experience orb.

Currently, the total experience in Su Lie's experience orb was 1,097,236,314 points.

Besides this, Su Lie also obtained massive growth resources, Skills, Talents, attribute orb, lifespan pearls, as well as various bloodlines, resources, and so on.

He briefly glanced at the resources in his storage slot.

Su Lie then turned his head to look toward the Mist area.

At this moment, the Jianmu Tree said to Su Lie: "Benefactor! That area is a trap created by the little bird people of the Xuntian Clan using the rules.

99.9% of the lives that enter die inside!"

"Moreover, whether the beings are alive or dead inside, the moment they enter that Mist, their memories will be copied by the rules!"

"At that time, those bird people will use these memories to select suitable opponents and plan their schemes!"

"You carry great treasures; if you enter there, you will surely die!"

Its words were identical to the intelligence Su Lie had read from Lei Tianmu's memory.

Su Lie nodded: "I need to leave now! Goodbye!"

He had long prepared his plan for departure.

His two objectives for coming here had been accomplished.

It was time to leave.

"Benefactor! Farewell!"

The Jianmu Tree bid farewell to Su Lie.

Subsequently.

Su Lie used the talisman token given to him by the Xuntian Clan.

Buzz!

The next second, the token disappeared, and Su Lie returned to the VVVVIP VIP box.

Just as he was about to leave the box.

Creak!

A well-dressed Xuntian Clan youth pushed the door open and walked in.

Behind him rushed in two squads of three-turn rank deities from the Xuntian Clan.

As soon as they entered, they surrounded Su Lie.

This person politely said to Su Lie: "Respected Guest! Our Xuntian Clan has lost an important treasure.

Please take out your storage equipment and grant us permission so we can inspect it!"

"Hmm? Where is Reap? Is this how you treat top-tier Guests?"

Su Lie frowned and asked coldly.

The attendant laughed heartily and said to Su Lie: "The esteemed Guest may not know!

Reap, as well as his father Lei Carp, have been expelled!

These two have already left the Xuntian Clan! This area is now supervised by me, Lei Zhen!"

"Whether you are a top-tier client or the most common Guest!"

"Today you must accept our inspection, or don't blame me!"

Saying that.

Lei Zhen took out a sealing divine talisman and said fearlessly: "If you cooperate, you can avoid the pain of sealing!

If you don't cooperate, then I can only apologize!"

"Hmm?"

Su Lie's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and he secretly thought: "Could this be related to that mission?"

He absolutely could not allow the other party to seal him with a sealing divine talisman.

He had too many secrets!

If the other party had malicious intentions and used the deprivation divine talisman on him.

That would be terrible!

Moreover, if he willingly allowed himself to be sealed, it would be equivalent to easily handing his life over to the other party.

This was also something he was unwilling to do!

Thinking of this.

He decided not to resist.

After all, this was the Xuntian Clan's territory.

Since the opponents came prepared, they naturally wouldn't rely only on the forces visible here.

Therefore.

Whether he resisted or not was irrelevant to the Xuntian Clan.

Furthermore, this was the Virtual Street.

If he initiated a fight, he would inevitably be punished by the mist rule.

This was simply not worth the loss.

After a round of internal consideration.

Su Lie made a concession.

Feigning anger, he took out a storage ring and two storage pouches he had seized from the Dungeon and threw them to the opponent: "Your Xuntian Clan is truly a model for the Virtual Street! Very good! Very good!"

He immediately shouted loudly: "mist rule! Xuntian Tower is forcibly searching a Guest's storage equipment, are you not going to intervene?"

Lei Zhen cleaned his ear, smiled slightly, and secretly sighed: "Damn! What an idiot! The mist rule is so busy, how could it hear your summons?"

He casually tossed the storage pouches to the person beside him for inspection.

Lei Zhen took out a jade mirror from his storage equipment and shone it on Su Lie.

A flash of light appeared on it, and the mirror surface was empty.

He then turned to look at the attendants, and after confirming that Su Lie's storage equipment did not contain the resources they were looking for.

Only then did Lei Zhen lower his stance slightly and say to Su Lie: "Apologies, Guest!"

Su Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he did not respond, still feigning anger.

Lei Zhen then returned the storage equipment to Su Lie, and he also handed a Mist Points card to Su Lie: "Guest! We are truly sorry!

This is Xuntian Tower's apology gift, a 1 billion Mist Points card.

After use, it will be directly deposited into your account!

Please accept it!"

It was also at this moment that a punishment from the mist rule appeared in the sight of everyone in the entire Virtual Street.

[Buzz!]

[Lei Zhen, General Manager of the Xuntian Tower in Virtual Street, privately searched a Guest's storage equipment, infringing upon the Guest's rights in Virtual Street and violating the Virtual Street rules.

A public judgment announcement is hereby issued across the entire Virtual Street!]

[The mist rule specially punishes Xuntian Tower: 100 positive Mist Points, General Manager Lei Zhen, along with the executing personnel and oppressive personnel, are sentenced to death, to be executed immediately!]

[The Guest who received unfair treatment will receive 100 positive Mist Points as compensation for the unfair treatment received in Virtual Street!]
