第三千七百二十四章 田小剑的选择

In other words, his situation was not much different from Lin Xuan's. [Latest Chapter Reading]

At the beginning of the exchange fair, he had indeed found some urgently needed treasures.

Although the prices were outrageous, it didn't matter to Tian Xiaojian at all. After all, his cultivation experience over these years was rich, and he had also obtained the treasure from the Demon Overlord of the demon tribe. His wealth far exceeded that of ordinary domain experts.

With a bountiful harvest, Tian Xiaojian was still in high spirits. He could advance to the Tribulation Transcending Stage sooner.

The idea sounded good, but reality turned out to be quite fantastical.

In the Immortal Pool Holy Land, domainexternal heavenly demon actually infiltrated, and not just one; they had killed several cultivators attending the Peach Banquet.

Tian Xiaojian was lucky. He didn't encounter any domainexternal heavenly demon in his first few moments there.

Given his personality, he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to provoke trouble.

So Tian Xiaojian chose to observe from a distance.

He quietly retreated to one side.

Of course, he wasn't going to take advantage of the chaos for a small gain and offend the Rain Mist Business Alliance.

In such circumstances, it was wiser to look after himself. He wondered if this unexpected turn would affect the upcoming auction.

Tian Xiaojian still looked forward to the immortal peach fruit.

But now that things had reached this point, he could only wait and see what happened.

He felt a bit resentful and anxious. At this moment, the voice of the Demon Overlord rang in his ears.

"Jiannv, why are you standing there? This is a golden opportunity given by heaven; hurry up and follow me out of here."

"Where to?"

Tian Xiaojian was taken aback and hurriedly used mental communication.

"Of course, to find the immortal peach fruit."

"What. Find the immortal peach fruit? Father, did I hear you correctly? Where can we find it?" Tian Xiaojian was stunned.

The Demon Overlord chuckled.

"Stupid boy. You're so smart in daily life; why are you being foolish now?"

"Please explain further!" Tian Xiaojian adopted a humble and eager-to-learn expression. After all, his relationship with the Demon Overlord was one of shared interests—his gains were his gains, and his losses were his losses.

"All right, let's get to the point. Jiannv, where do you think the immortal peach fruit comes from?"

"It... naturally, it grows on a peach tree."

"Then where is that peach tree?"

"..." Tian Xiaojian fell into thought but quickly added: "Father, if what you say is true, then this peach tree must be in Immortal Pool."

"Not bad. You're teachable."

The Demon Overlord's face showed satisfaction. "You're right; it's in Immortal Pool. Now that things are chaotic here and Li Yutong has disappeared, you might as well take advantage of the chaos instead of waiting for the auction."

"..."

Tian Xiaojian was immediately hesitant. Indeed, the prospect painted by the Demon Overlord was tempting, but he needed to consider how feasible it was before risking everything.

"Father, even if there are domainexternal heavenly demon causing trouble here, this chaos is only temporary. Those who dare to stir up trouble in Immortal Pool are seeking their own death. Am I too rash going out to find the peach tree now?"

"I don't know where the peach tree is, but such a precious treasure wouldn't be left unprotected by Fairy Yutong. There must be countless restrictions and guards. If I can't get the treasure, I might end up trapped there."

"You're overcautious. It's either boldness with careful planning or being overly fearful. Since I told you to find the immortal peach fruit, I wouldn't have overlooked these details."

"Correct. Approaching the peach tree is extremely dangerous under normal circumstances, but now it's the right time. As for where the peach tree is, don't forget that in my previous life, I was the Demon Overlord. This Immortal Pool Holy Land isn't a place I haven't been to; how could I not know?"

"Those restrictions and guards are indeed formidable, but breaking them isn't impossible. Of course, it depends on luck, but if you follow my instructions, you have at least a fifty percent chance of success. Even if you can't get the peach fruit, returning safely without being discovered is always possible."

"..."

The Demon Overlord's persuasive words didn't sway Tian Xiaojian. Given his nature, he liked to make decisions on his own and wasn't easily swayed.

"Why are you still hesitating? I've already assured you that I won't harm you. Besides, if you don't go find the peach tree, do you think you can secure it at the auction?"

"You might not succeed; immortal peaches rarely appear in auctions, even during the Peach Festival. Even if they did appear this time, would you be certain of securing them? Although you've inherited my treasure and are wealthy, these old monsters have lived for millions of years. Ordinary domain experts aside, even Immortal Kings, True Demons, or Primordial Beasts like Naelong could outmatch you in wealth."

"Jiannv, after all this trouble to get here, would you rather miss the immortal peach fruit?"

"All right, I'll go with you."

Tian Xiaojian's eyes flashed with determination. He finally looked resolute.

Firstly, what the Demon Overlord said was correct; secondly, he wasn't a coward. The principle of seeking wealth in danger was something he understood well.

Most importantly, he knew that the Demon Overlord wouldn't betray him.

With this confidence, he decided to take a risk.

"Jiannv, making such a choice is best. Otherwise, I would be utterly disappointed in you," the Demon Overlord's chuckling voice echoed, his face showing extreme satisfaction: "We shouldn't waste time; let's leave here immediately. We can only get the peach fruit from the fire. If we wait until these domainexternal heavenly demon are eliminated, taking advantage of the chaos will become a distant dream."

"Agreed!"

Tian Xiaojian was also a resolute cultivator who wouldn't hesitate after making a decision. He used concealment and energy conservation techniques to quietly leave the valley during the chaos.

...

No one noticed. On the other side,

The battle was intense.

Wujiao Wang and Fairy Yutong both opened their domains, but not continuously. Doing so would consume too much mana; no one would be that foolish.

As the top experts in the spirit realm, they used their domains to perfection—deploying them only when necessary for attack, defense, or movement, maximizing their effectiveness while conserving mana.

Details determined success or failure. This was evident from both of their exceptional abilities. RL
