The moment Lu Yu said that, the sword-wielding male cultivator leading the group immediately smiled awkwardly with some embarrassment.

Seeing the other party’s response, Lu Yu decided not to waste any more time and said directly to the male cultivator, “Enough. If you guys can’t produce anything of corresponding value to this Crimson Spirit Fruit, then I guess there’s nothing left for us to talk about!”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he straightaway waved his hand and collected all seven Crimson Spirit Fruit on that Crimson Spirit Fruit Tree and put them into his interspatial ring.

When he saw Lu Yu putting away all the Crimson Spirit Fruits, the sword-wielding male cultivator became anxious immediately. Despite the attempts to dissuade him by the four companions behind him, he stepped forward to block Lu Yu’s way.

“Brother, please give us one last chance. We are willing to exchange all the things in this interspatial ring plus that legacy plaque for two Crimson Spirit Fruits!”

After hearing this, the corners of Lu Yu’s mouth finally curved up slightly, and his heart also felt somewhat tempted.

“You have to let me see what you have inside this interspatial ring first.

Otherwise, what happens if you take an empty interspatial ring to trick me?”

When the sword-wielding male cultivator heard Lu Yu’s request, he hurriedly tossed the interspatial ring in his hand directly to Lu Yu.

“Brother, please take a look at this. Our Lin family definitely do not engage in that kind of act where we don’t keep our word!”

Lu Yu caught the interspatial ring thrown over by the other party, and dripped his blood directly on it to assert ownership.

Before he tossed the interspatial ring to Lu Yu earlier, the sword-wielding male cultivator had already deactivated and relinquished his ownership of the interspatial ring.

With the successful acknowledgment of the new owner, all the things within the interspatial ring were displayed in Lu Yu’s mind.

As he sensed the resources and treasures of tremendous value within the spatial ring, Lu Yu could not help feeling curious about the identity of these five people.

“Hmm, not bad. I can trade with you guys using these things plus that whatever plaque. But I should at least know who I’m dealing with!”

Lu Yu toyed with the interspatial ring in his hand as his eyes wandered over the face of the sword-wielding male cultivator carelessly.

The sword -wielding male cultivator hesitated for a moment when he heard Lu

Yu’s query. Thereafter, he cupped his hands at Lu Yu and replied slowly,

“Brother, we are from the Lin family. The reason we want to exchange two Crimson Spirit Fruits with you is we need them to treat our Lin family’s Great Elder.”

After the sword-wielding male cultivator announced where he hailed from, he stared closely at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was very familiar with the Lin family that these five people hailed from.

The Lin family was an influential family spanning many generations that was even larger than the four great families. Its family members were similar to those in the Song family in that all were members of the Flame Country’s military forces.

However, what surprised many people was that although the Lin family was a more powerful behemoth than the four great families, the family’s members were very self-disciplined.

Compared to the other three great families where most of the family members were arrogant and tyrannical, the conduct of the Lin family was many times better.

After learning that the five people were from such a family, Lu Yu inevitably had more respect for the five people in front of him.

When he thought of this, Lu Yu no longer hesitated. He straightaway retrieved the two Crimson Spirit Fruits from his interspatial ring and tossed them through the air to the sword-wielding male cultivator.

“These two Crimson Spirit Fruits are yours! In life, there’s always a chance to meet. We’ll meet again if fate allows it!”

After dropping such a sentence, Lu Yu’s figure disappeared from the spot at the same time.

Along with Lu Yu’s disappearance, the legacy plaque also vanished from the hand of the sword-wielding male cultivator.

Looking at the spot where Lu Yu vanished, the sword-wielding male cultivator then looked at the two Crimson Spirit Fruits in his hand. He shook his head with some amusement and a wry smile.

“Had I known that our Lin family’s reputation was so useful, I should have announced our family name right at the beginning. Then I would have no need to be on tenterhooks!”

The sword-wielding male cultivator muttered as he put away the two Crimson Spirit Fruits into his coat.

When they saw their big brother in this state, the two men and two women behind who accompanied him couldn’t resist slapping their foreheads helplessly.

It seemed that their big brother was deeply mesmerized by the youth who just handed them the Crimson Spirit Fruits.

After leaving that patch of mountain forest, Lu Yu took out the legacy plaque he had exchanged with those few people from the Lin family.

As he scrutinized that legacy plaque that resembled a block of ordinary rock, Lu Yu began to feel some regret.

“Sigh! Why did I agree to let them exchange the fruits using such a piece of crap!”

“If those two Crimson Spirit Fruit were still there, I would have been able to break through to the Grade 9 War General in one breath this time. Isn’t it much more reliable than this whatever legacy plaque?”

“Forget it, forget it! It’s my fortune if I can get it. If not, it’s my fate. Why should I care so much? Let’s see if I am able to locate this legacy first!”

As Lu Yu spoke, he put away the legacy plaque in his hand into his interspatial ring.

After putting away the legacy plaque, Lu Yu noticed the darkening sky. He found a cave and made a campfire.

After warming up the dry food by the campfire, Lu Yu grabbed the fresh water stored in the interspatial ring and hastily settled the problem of dinner.

Just as Lu Yu settled the issue of his dinner, at this moment in the military base outside the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, those few Grade 5 War General cultivators from the Nie Family who had been sent out of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm by Lu Yu were standing in front of an old man with their heads bowed in a respectful manner.

Looking at the five Grade 5 War General cultivators with a pathetic look on their faces, the old man’s expression was very unpleasant as he roared loudly in rebuke.

“What a bunch of trash! He was just a Grade 5 War General cultivator. Even when the five of you combined forces, you were still killed off by him! ”

“You tell me. Did the family provide you with so much that you have forgotten even your own last name?”

“How did our Nie family raise such a bunch of useless, incompetent losers like you? All twenty-two of you!”

“Even under the protection of the five of you, the whole bunch was all kicked out of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm by one mere Grade 5 War General!”

The furious old man did not even give the five Grade 5 War Generals a chance to explain. He kept up an endless tirade at the five people.

As they endured the old man’s castigation, the five Grade 5 War Generals wanted to explain themselves initially. However, when they recalled this old man’s violent temper, they all chose to shut their mouths obediently in the end.

They simply stood there meekly, and allowed the old man to keep venting the anger in his heart.

Finally, after reprimanding the five people for almost half an hour, the old man stopped his tirade as he tried to catch his breath with big gasps.

Looking at the old man who was a bit out of breath, the very perspicacious leader of the five Grade 5 War Generals hastened to bring a cup of hot tea to the old man.

When the old man saw that the leading Grade 5 War General still had the presence of mind to pour a cup of tea for him, the expression on his face relaxed substantially.

“Hmph! Looks like you still have some common sense, you brat. But this matter is still not finished!”

“I would love to spare you guys this time. But before I came, the Patriarch had already spoken.. You can be spared the death sentence, but you can’t escape the live punishment!”
