Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu shook his head. "This thing, you can't eat it. If you don't want this newly born artifact spirit to disappear just like that, you'd better not have any ideas about it."    

"Why?"    

The life and death compass was slightly surprised.    

However, Lu Yu would never create something out of nothing. The Compass of Life and Death quickly calmed down and took a closer look.    

It was an ancient Immortal Weapon, and it had a very strong perception ability. After carefully looking at it for a while, he exclaimed, "This isn't the Longevity Fruit! What a strong evil intent!"    

After saying that, the little brat ran to a corner of the storage bag and hid himself.    

Although it was an ancient Immortal Weapon, its courage was still very small. When it encountered this kind of evil intention, it didn't dare to approach it at all.    

Lu Yu shook his head with a smile and didn't pay any more attention to it.    

If it wasn't because Lu Yu had entered the Heavenly Court in the world of the Profound Heaven Scroll and knew a lot of secrets about the treasures in the Heavenly Court, he might have been confused by the Longevity Fruit in front of him.    

In fact, the news of the Longevity Fruit only came from the Dao Canon.    

The Dao Canon had gone through countless years of repair, but it was no longer the original content. Some of it had been added to the speculation of the later generations, so it could no longer be taken seriously.    

Although it was the seed of the Longevity Fruit Tree, it had used an extremely evil method to ripen it. The fruits it produced were also filled with evil spirits.    

The true Longevity Fruit was like a child, and its entire body was fragrant. It was white like jade, and it was warm and amiable.    

Even if one didn't eat it, just smelling it could prolong one's life.    

However, the environment to nurture the Longevity Fruit had long since ceased to exist.    

Even the Wang Clan wouldn't be able to find the Divine Land or the Water of the Jade Lake.    

The only way was to use this type of crooked path, use the souls and blood of countless creatures to continuously water this fruit tree to produce fruits.    

Although the Longevity Fruit could also increase one's lifespan and cleanse one's marrow, it also contained endless resentment.    

Those who died were unwilling to die. Endless resentment and karma finally gathered in the Longevity Fruit through the roots.    

"If I swallow it just like that, even if my body can withstand the medicinal effects of the Longevity Fruit, this resentment will consume a lot of merit." Lu Yu frowned and fell into deep thought.    

But soon, he felt relieved in his heart.    

Those people didn't die because of me. Besides, I have edified all of them. They should be considered their saviors. As the saying goes, return the favor. How could the resentment on top of this be applied to me?    

When he thought of this, Lu Yu immediately felt that his thoughts had become clear, as if he had thought everything through.    

Without any hesitation, he used the Time energy of the Compass of Life and Death to ripen the Longevity Fruit.    

Under the influence of the Time Law, the Longevity Fruit ripened at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

The originally green skin quickly faded and turned into a bright red color. It was extremely eye-catching and bright.    

After ripening, the Longevity Fruit had already completely transformed into a child's curled up appearance.    

However, the 'child' in front of him had his eyes wide open, emitting a dark glow.    

Anyone who looked at it would feel a chill run down their spine.    

"Roar - -"    

After seeing Lu Yu, the Longevity Fruit suddenly trembled violently and let out a piercing scream.
