Peerless Taoist

An ear-piercing scream instantly tore through the surroundings.    

It was as though countless ghosts were crying out in pain. If a cultivator with a slightly weaker will were to hear the scream, they would feel panicked and confused, resulting in all kinds of distracting thoughts.    

The Compass of Life and Death covered their ears, not daring to listen.    

However, these sounds were unable to affect Lu Yu's will in the slightest. In just an instant, Lu Yu's eyes became clear, as if he did not hear this sound.    

Fortunately, Lu Yu had set up a formation to completely isolate the sound in the room, so it didn't reach the outside.    

"I was wondering how the Wang Family could be so at ease. They placed a treasure like the Longevity Fruit here with no one guarding it. It turns out that they did something to the Longevity Fruit."    

A purple light shone in Lu Yu's eyes.    

Under Lu Yu's gaze, veins that looked like blood vessels were reflected in the Longevity Fruit.    

These veins gathered together and formed a small black figure.    

This tiny black figure was hidden in the depths of the Longevity Fruit. Without the help of the Spiritual Sense, one would never be able to see it.    

This was a devil seed.    

If someone swallowed the Longevity Fruit without permission, they would immediately be eroded by the devil seed and become the puppet of the master of the devil seed.    

This was an extremely evil method. However, the materials and resources required to create a Demon Seed were extremely huge. Hence, very few people would use this method now.    

In order to protect the Longevity Fruit, it was understandable that the Wang Family would use these methods.    

"I say, why didn't you send someone to guard that place? I'm afraid that you already expected someone to snatch it. If this person didn't see through the plot of the Longevity Fruit, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the Demon Seed's control on the spot."    

Lu Yu carefully examined the Longevity Fruit in his hand, and a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.    

The Longevity Fruit was like many heavenly treasures, it contained a strong medicinal strength.    

This kind of medicinal strength was very hard for an ordinary person to absorb.    

If one forcefully absorbed it, it was very likely that one would suffer a backlash from the powerful medicinal strength, ultimately damaging one's body.    

But if a puppet were to swallow it, then it would be different.    

The Wang Family intended to have someone snatch the Longevity Fruit, then use the Demon Seed to control this person into a puppet. After that, they only needed to devour the magical power in this person's body.    

As for the damage to the Longevity Fruit and the grievous energy attached to it, it would fall on the puppet and had nothing to do with the Wang Family at all.    

What a scheme, what a scheme!    

"If it was someone else, I'm afraid that it would really be your Wang Clan's wedding gift in vain. But I, am different."    

Lu Yu held the Longevity Fruit in his hand and swallowed it without hesitation.    

The Longevity Fruit was still screaming, but when it fell into Lu Yu's mouth, it became silent.    

As soon as he swallowed it, a long stream of white gas gushed out from Lu Yu's nose.    

The white gas was like a dragon swimming in the clear sky. It lingered for a long time, showing the strength of the gas.    

This was the strange phenomenon caused by his entire body being filled with magic power to the extreme, accumulating and unleashing, and forming around his body.    

Every time Lu Yu broke through, it would be after sufficient accumulation. When the time came, he would naturally make a breakthrough. Currently, he was at the late Earth Immortal realm, the cultivation level. Although he had just broken through not too long ago, his cultivation base was still at the late Earth Immortal realm. * Hong Long...... *    

This Longevity Fruit was like a deep water bomb that suddenly dropped from the calm surface of the water, causing Lu Yu's magic power to boil.    

Rumble, rumble -    

Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder coming from Lu Yu's chest.    

As the sound of thunder spread out, the Qi around Lu Yu's body began to rise at an extremely fast speed.
