Royal Collection
Princess Ji Rouyu's Plum Palace Garden has a large sea of plum blossoms. Along the way, there are countless waterside pavilions and pavilions, carved railings and jade buildings. Among them, there are nine plum pavilions specially used to enjoy the scenery, located among the boundless sea of plum blossoms. .
The young martial arts cultivators followed Princess Ji Rouyu along the pavilions and corridors in the garden, chatting while walking in the snow and admiring the plum blossoms.
Not long after, they came to the first plum platform, a pavilion with "Purple Flame Plum Pavilion" hung all over.
I saw that the surroundings of this attic were shrouded in a large sea of purple flame-like plum blossoms, and the scenery was wonderful. Each plum blossom is like a small purple firework hanging on the branches. Countless plum blossoms are like a vast sea of purple flames, which is shocking.
Walking in this sea of purple plum blossoms, the coldness of winter suddenly disappears completely, leaving only the warmth of spring sun.
Although King Wu was not afraid of the coldness of winter in the twelfth lunar month, he still felt completely comfortable walking in this sea of purple flames and plum blossoms.
"Is this the Purple Flame Plum, a fire variety that blooms in winter?"
"This plum blossom is quite magical. In the coldest time of the twelfth lunar month, it actually blooms with fire-type flowers. It is an extremely rare species!"
All the young martial kings followed Ji Rouyu to the Purple Flame Plum Pavilion. Looking around, they saw a sea of purple flames all around, and they couldn't help but praise her.
There were almost no plum trees of this variety in the Zixuan Dynasty, and they could only be seen in Ji Rouyu's Plum Palace.
Ji Rouyu smiled and said: "This is Purple Flame Plum, a fire-type plum blossom. It is a special plum species taken from the distant Red Flame Mountain. This plum blossom is not suitable for growing in the imperial dynasty. I used a special method to transform the environment here. , only then can it be planted. The plum blossoms are like purple flames, with a sense of warmth. Walking among the plum blossoms feels like the warm warmth of spring."
Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue also followed everyone to the Ziyan Pavilion.
In the center of this plum pavilion, there is a stone table as big as ten feet.
Ye Fan saw a half-foot-sized jade box placed on the stone table.
The jade box contained a fire-colored fruit, vaguely shaped like a fire dragon, exuding an unusually rich and alluring fragrance.
The fragrance was so tempting that even the martial kings present couldn't help but feel a strong desire to eat it when they smelled the fragrance.
His heart couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"What kind of treasure is this? Why is it so tempting!"
Cao Hong couldn't help being shocked. You know, King Wu's restraint is very strong. It must be something extraordinary to be able to give King Wu such a strong appetite.
"Never seen it before!"
"I'm afraid it's a high-level strange spiritual fruit, worth a lot of money!"
All the young people shook their heads. Even the young King Wu who had seen the big world, and even the children of aristocratic families, most of them had never seen this kind of fruit.
Of course, there are a few people in the royal family who have seen this object, but they laugh and say nothing, and are not in a hurry to solve the mystery.
Ji Rouyu looked around and smiled at the young people, "It would be quite boring to just appreciate the plum blossoms. So every year for the plum blossom banquet, I specially prepare some playful games for everyone to have fun. In the plum garden Each of the nine plum terrace pavilions has a precious treasure from the Zixuan royal treasury, specially taken out as an addition to this game. Everyone can participate, there is a game in each plum terrace, and the winner can get a royal treasure. Treasure. The spiritual fruit in the jade box in front of Zi Yanmei Pavilion is the first treasure. I wonder who knows this thing?"
Finally, her eyes fell on Ye Fan, and she wanted to see if Ye Fan knew this mysterious treasure, and asked with a smile: "I often hear people say that Brother Ye is knowledgeable, can he know this thing?!"
Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said: "This should be the Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit!"
"Is this the Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit?"
"A strange fruit used to increase longevity? It's such a magical thing!"
"How dare Brother Ye assert that this thing is the Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit?"
All the young martial kings couldn't help but look shocked.
Ye Fan nodded lightly, "I have seen the picture of this thing in a certain mysterious fruit book, so I know a little bit about it. According to reports, this fruit is produced from the fire treasure of Huo Liuli Island in the East China Sea. The output is extremely low, only about Producing one is a tribute to the Zixuan Royal Family. This fruit has the powerful effect of prolonging life. Taking one will increase your life by ten years. However, it is only effective after taking the first one, and it will be of little use if you take it again."
"Ten years of life?!"
"It's so magical, no wonder it has such an alluring fragrance!"
All the young people showed expressions of shock and admiration.
For these young martial kings in front of them, most of them are geniuses. They are still young and have made rapid progress in cultivation. They do not have high desire for mysterious treasures such as increasing longevity.
However, this item can be dedicated to the elderly ancestors, elders, and elders of the family. It is definitely an excellent gift, and the effect is far better than any other treasure. Even the young disciples of the Martial Saint Family are in great need of this kind of profound fruit.
If a Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit is exchanged for the favor of the elders of the Wusheng Family, it will definitely be worth every penny for these juniors.
It can be said that the value of a Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit is absolutely no less than that of a fourth-level king-level top-grade mysterious weapon.
Princess Ji Rouyu spent a lot of money to host this Mei Tai Banquet.
However, what surprised them even more was that this was a tribute exclusively for the Zixuan Royal Family. The royal family's collection of mysterious treasures was rarely spread to the outside world. Ordinary martial arts cultivators might not even have heard of it, let alone seen it. Ye Fan actually recognized it at a glance. The depth of this knowledge was amazing.
"It's exactly this thing. Brother Ye is really knowledgeable and knows all the strange things! Let's use this Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit as a prize to play a small game! Let me think about it, what kind of game should we play to test everyone? Strength..."
Ji Rouyu couldn't help but smile in admiration and looked at the crowd, wondering what game to play.
All the young martial arts cultivators in front of me are the best in the dynasty, so this question must be of a high standard. Asking easy questions showed that she was not good enough. But the questions are too difficult. If no one can do it, it won't work.
In previous years, this was the most intense time of competition among the young martial arts cultivators at the Mei Tai Banquet. They had already been gearing up to display their unique skills and show their strength in front of everyone.
But now, there was a strange silence in Ziyanmei Pavilion, and no one spoke.
All the young martial arts kings were staring at the jade box, waiting for the princess to give the question, but their thoughts were all on Ye Fan.
If they don't bring down Ye Fan, they may not have the chance to get such a treasure.
"Princess Rouyu, you always come up with the game question for the Mei Tai Banquet every year, and everyone has no objection. However, if this year's game question is a test of everyone's combat effectiveness, there is no doubt that Brother Ye will come out on top, without any suspense. Others have lost the joy of walking in the snow and admiring plum blossoms! I have a small suggestion for the princess' reference!"
You Chujie suddenly interrupted and smiled lightly.
"Brother You, please tell me!"
Ji Rouyu was quite interested.
"In any game, everyone is only more skilled and sophisticated in skills and techniques. They are not allowed to use any vitality or spiritual power. The display of physical strength must also be controlled within 10,000 kilograms."
You Chujie smiled.
As soon as these words came out, all the young people were stunned.
Such a restriction is equivalent to tying up everyone's hands and feet, lowering them to the lowest level of cultivation strength. Then only pure skills are left to compare.
"This idea is quite novel... What do you think?"
Ji Rouyu pondered for a moment and couldn't help but look at the young people, wanting to ask for their opinions. If too many people objected, she wouldn't be able to change the rules of the Mei Tai Banquet rashly.
"Of course, we agree with Senior Brother You's suggestion!"
"What a great idea! This way, the game will be purer and more interesting!"
"Just do it this way!"
Most of the young people reacted immediately and agreed.
This is the suggestion put forward by You Chujie, the senior brother of Zixuan Guojiao, and it seems to be fair to everyone. But it was actually beneficial to most of the King Wu and detrimental to Ye Fan.
As the legendary Martial King, Ye Fan is undoubtedly the most outstanding in combat ability. Even the fifteen Royal Guards King Wu can't join forces. Everyone here should not expect to win against him in a head-on battle.
Although Ye Fan's martial arts system is extremely strong, it is impossible to master all skills, and there will always be areas where he is not as good as others.
The one to two hundred young martial kings who participated in the Mei Tai Banquet were all the best among the martial arts families and martial arts cultivators of various forces in the Zixuan Dynasty. The most top genius martial kings in all aspects could always suppress Ye Fan in various techniques.
There are nine plum terraces and pavilions in total.
If Ye Fan gained nothing at the Mei Tai Banquet and all the royal treasures were taken away by other young King Wu with his superb skills.
The Mei Tai Banquet has great influence among the young martial arts cultivators in the imperial city and is the most famous banquet. Once this result spreads, it will undoubtedly have an effect. In fact, Ye Fan may not be much better than the top group of talented young people in the Zixuan Dynasty.
This is tantamount to announcing that there are still many talented young people in the Zixuan Dynasty, and everyone does not need to focus on Ye Fan alone.
Most of the young King Wu present understood this truth and naturally expressed their agreement.
There are still a few people who are opposed in their hearts, but seeing so many people supporting it, they can only respond with silence.
Ye Fan himself has no objections, he can play whatever he wants.
Ji Rouyu thought for a while, came up with an idea, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will make the first move, which involves the martial arts system: You are not allowed to come out of the Ziyan Pavilion, you are not allowed to use your own beasts, and you are only allowed to take action once. . Whoever picks back the most purple flame plums without any damage to the plum blossoms will win! The winner will get the Fire Dragon Life Extension Fruit!"
The young people couldn't help but frown and think quickly.
The Purple Flame Plum Sea around Ziyan Pavilion is thousands of feet long, with countless plum blossoms. It is necessary to pick as many complete Purple Flame Plum Blossoms as possible.
But the premise is that no one can take a step outside the Ziyan Pavilion.
In addition to the restrictions You Chujie mentioned before, he cannot use his vitality or spiritual power, and his strength is limited to ten thousand kilograms.
Then, the only thing that can be used is mysterious weapons, such as flying knives, mysterious bows and arrows, rope hooks, etc., to use physical strength and skills to pick plum blossoms in the distance.
Who can win depends on everyone's respective skills.
