The one who arrived, carrying deadly energy and numerous golden light dots, returned to the Shura field, impatient to refine them.
Following the previous line of thought, as long as he could absorb and refine these fortune fruits, even the Heavenly Emperor would be no match for him.
But at this moment, Lu Fang, the Ten-Faced Rakshasa, arrived.
"Congratulations, my lord, a bountiful return!"
"Hahaha, come, come quickly, I'll give you a few to refine and improve your cultivation!"
The one who arrived was particularly happy and casually handed a few golden light dots to Lu Fang.
"Thank you, my lord. But how will you deal with these fortune fruits?" Lu Fang asked as he accepted the fortune fruits given by the one who arrived.
These golden light dots were indeed fortune fruits. As soon as he approached them, he felt the essence-cleansing and marrow-cleansing aura.
Previously, his lord would also reward some fortune fruits. Although not many, they were quite effective in improving his cultivation.
This expedition must have been very smooth. Otherwise, his lord would not be so generous as to casually give him a few fortune fruits from the golden light dots.
The moment he received the golden light dot, Lu Fang saw that there were many fortune fruits inside.
"Directly refine and absorb them, what else is there to do?" the one who arrived said directly.
"I heard that my lord had a great harvest this time, especially killing Fu Ruhai and destroying the Manual of Fortune, which is truly satisfying!" Lu Fang said.
He first flattered the one who arrived, as the details of this battle quickly spread back to the Shura field.
The news was reported by a little ghost who had been collecting information outside. Although Lu Fang was not present, he knew exactly what had happened.
"I heard that in this Manual of Fortune, besides fortune fruits, there are things more valuable than fortune fruits."
"More valuable than fortune fruits? What is it? Tell me quickly!" The one who arrived became even more interested.
"Please allow me to open this golden light dot and take a look, my lord."
After speaking, Lu Fang looked at the one who arrived, who casually raised his hand, signifying his agreement.
Lu Fang reached into his golden light dot and grabbed something.
This scene piqued the interest of the one who arrived, and he stared at Lu Fang without blinking.
A moment later, Lu Fang held a finger-joint-sized object and showed it to the one who arrived.
"This is it, it's called a fortune root. If it's used to nourish these myriad souls, then your great enterprise will advance further."
"Oh, hahaha. Good, good!" The one who arrived had just agreed, then casually asked, "Such a good thing, shouldn't I just refine it directly?"
Upon hearing that the fortune root was more valuable than fortune fruits, the one who arrived naturally thought that its refining effect would be even better, and he could not afford to waste it.
Training those souls was merely to enhance his prestige. As for strength, as long as he was powerful enough, he could simply swap positions with the Heavenly Emperor.
Lu Fang, as the primary strategist for the one who arrived, naturally had his own exceptional insights.
He explained the intricacies and his lord's future ambitions to the one who arrived. The one who arrived listened with deep understanding and agreed to follow Lu Fang's advice.
The fortune roots obtained would be used to train souls, and the souls would be used as tools to seize more fortune fruits; of the fortune fruits, three-fifths would be for the one who arrived to refine, one-fifth for nourishing Duoming, and one-fifth would be distributed to a few capable subordinates to improve their cultivation.
With all arrangements made, Lu Fang gathered the fortune roots. Among them, one fortune root was particularly special. It was Fu Ruhai's fortune root, shaped like a bamboo shoot. Lu Fang placed it in the center of the training disk, and it quickly became the focal point.
The nourishing effect of the fortune roots began to show within two to three days. The one who arrived personally tested the souls, and their combat power had significantly increased compared to before.
According to Lu Fang's plan, the one who arrived prepared to go into seclusion for a period. As for collecting fortune fruits, he would send out a soul to test the effect after some time.
...
Fortunately, Liu Sandao stopped Bai Suxiang, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get home for a while.
As soon as they landed, she heard her phone ring.
Bai Suxiang picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from her mother.
"Mom! ... Oh, I was on a business trip these past few days, and that place had no signal... Okay, okay, I'm back, I'm coming back now! ... Good, I love it the most, don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
Bai Suxiang thought her phone call had been heard by Liu Sandao and was about to ask if he wanted to come to her house as a guest, when she noticed him rummaging through something in the corner of the room.
Bai Suxiang tiptoed over, wanting to see what mysterious things he was up to.
Liu Sandao had no family and naturally did not understand human family life. Although he heard Bai Suxiang call for her mother, he did not hear their conversation.
Because he was thinking of finding a good fruit quickly to extend the life of Fu Ruhai's soul crystal, he kept flipping through the Manual of Fortune.
Perhaps he was engrossed in reading, or perhaps he knew there was no one else in the room, he didn't even notice Bai Suxiang approaching.
"What is this Manual of Fortune for?"
Bai Suxiang asked.
Liu Sandao was slightly startled but did not panic.
"This can help us smoothly determine who has fortune fruits and in what quantities."
"Really? Can I take a look?"
Bai Suxiang said and leaned closer to look.
"You couldn't before. However, since you already know our identities, of course you can."
Liu Sandao said calmly.
"There are so many names here, who are we looking for?"
Bai Suxiang saw that the pages were densely packed with what seemed like names, all identical.
The names initially appeared different, but the more she looked, the more they seemed the same, even appearing horizontally and vertically before Bai Suxiang's eyes.
The more Bai Suxiang tried to see the names clearly, the faster they seemed to jump.
"Ah!"
Bai Suxiang felt dizzy and cried out, recoiling and covering her eyes tightly with her hands.
"What's wrong?" Liu Sandao asked with concern.
He didn't know why this was happening. The Manual of Fortune was generally invisible to mortals. He had thought that since Bai Suxiang had a connection to immortality, she should be able to see it, but he hadn't expected this to happen.
"It's nothing, I'll be fine after resting." Bai Suxiang replied.
As she spoke, she was already feeling much better. As long as she didn't stare at the Manual of Fortune, her eyes didn't hurt as much.
"It seems you can't look at this for now. I'll tell you when I find it."
"Okay. By the way, my mom asked me to come home. Do you want to come along?"
Since she couldn't look at it, and her mother had asked her to come home, Bai Suxiang casually said this.
If Fu Ruhai were here, he could have resolved much of the awkwardness. Liu Sandao was not accustomed to dealing with mortals and declined Bai Suxiang's invitation.
In the past, Bai Suxiang would have been angry, thinking he was ungrateful. But now, things were different; all the questions had been answered.
"Alright, if that's the case, I'll go home first. If anything comes up, remember to call me!"
Bai Suxiang said, made a phone gesture with her hand, and then picked up her bag and went home.
