Chapter 59: Mystic Earth Fruit!

It was unknown who, but an uproar erupted among the crowd when someone mentioned the Rank 3 <Mystic Earth Fruit>.

"Am I hearing it right?

"A Rank 3 <Mystic Earth Fruit!> And it's one of Thousand Year Old at that? Doesn't that make it one of the best even among all the Rank 3 natural treasures?" A man in the crowd questioned in doubt.

He was too shocked to feel any envy and jealousy at the moment.

Just pure..., astonishment!

The same could be said for many others.

The expressions on their face were the best evidence. All but dumbfounded.

"You heard it right," Elena stated solemnly.

"The shape of a persimmon, deep rust and golden color, the exterior looked like reptile scales but also smooth with no blemish.

"Not to mention this thick earth element wafted the air the moment the fruit appeared till now. But if you look carefully, there is also the faint conception of an Earth Golem gleaming mysteriously on the fruit. That is no doubt a true Thousand Year Old Mystic Earth Fruit!" Elena explained.

"Based on the association's various records,

"The <Mystic Earth Fruit> is extremely rare and valuable. With various uses and could also be consumed directly. Once ingested, there is a slight chance the said person will be able to obtain the Earth Elemental affinity or strengthen the existing one. And this one is of the thousand-year-old!"

Out of everyone present, she was the most surprised one. After all, they just interacted with each other a moment ago.

Really, what are the odds?

Soon, the composure of the Adventurers returned.

Their eyes flared with tremendous greed and covetous desire. But no one dared to make a move to steal the treasure in front of their eyes, not here, not in the Adventure Association's building.

Fighting here is not allowed!

If anyone dared to break this iron rule, the association would revoke all their rights and privileges. Furthermore, they will have twelve hours trying whatever they want, whether running or hiding.

After that, the association would issue a kill order, and the wanted person will be hunted down.

For most, the only outcome was death!

"Grandma, this is for you." Myah stuffed the <Mystic Earth Fruit> into Mu Suyin and smiled innocently.

Hearing the chatters from the crowd, Myah knows that the fruit in his hand was something of great value. His grandma has taken great care of him all this time.

Not only has she saved his life, but she also teaches him the way to become stronger.

Myah has always wanted to give her something, but he was troubled.

Before this, he doesn't have anything. Now that he luckily obtained the best prize, Myah decided to give it to her without hesitation.

Smiled softly, Mu Suyin put away the <Mystic Earth Fruit> and stroked his head. His sudden action touched her greatly. "Our affair here is done. Let's go now. To the smithy."

While Mu Suyin doesn't have any use with the fruit, she thinks Myah could still use it later.

It's an excellent natural treasure!

"W-wait..." Unexpectedly, Myah held her sleeve and showed a pitiful expression. "Grandma... do you think I can tr—"

Flick!

"Ouch!"

As if knowing what he wanted, Mu Suyin directly knocked on his brow with a flick of her finger and said strictly, "Nope, absolutely not. Even if you show me that face— I won't buy you another ticket. Get on Bumpkin quickly. What is with that reluctance look? We will go right now!"

"Hehe hehe, okay!"

...

Just as everyone started formulating plans in their mind, Mu Suyin gave them a casual glance. Contrary to the way she looked at Myah, only indifference filled her eyes at this moment.

An invisible but unbearable pressure weighted down their heart and shook them to the core.

Being Adventurers for years, they have all experienced multiple life and death experiences, and this time, this was an extremely familiar feeling.

It was as if they were looking at death itself!

Unwittingly, Mu Suyin's oppressive aura intimidates them all into lowering their head in trepidation.

It was as if she was saying, 'Try something funny, and I will kill you.'

Just how much strength much she has, and how many lives have she kill to possess such a powerful and frightening aura?

Under her suppression, everyone was thoroughly terrified, and the greed in their eyes just vanished like a puff of smoke, gone with the wind.

Previously, they appeared like a pack of cunning wolves, but they now feel no different from a flock of sheep under this mysterious woman's gaze.

At this moment, even the simple act of breathing has become an arduous task.

Under the wave of apprehensive and fearful gazes, Mu Suyin takes Myah and leaves beyond the door.

After a long while, everyone gradually recovered. But no one has any thoughts of retaliation. To be more precise, they didn't dare to. It would be no different than courting death.

All treasures would be useless if they lost their lives.

They all understood the apparent intention—this was only a warning!

"My gosh!"

"What a monster!"

"Even now, the image of a sea of corpses and red blood still played vividly in my mind, unbelievable..."

"Who would have thought that someone of this caliber would appear in this place."

—

Soon, the news of a mysterious and powerful expert and the event that transpired at the Adventure Association quickly spread around town like wildfire.

Through the almighty power of gossips, many pieces of information are added and removed.

Thus, one little extra detail leads to another, and the story becomes more and more exaggerated. And for a long time, what happened today will undoubtedly remain a popular talk of Yellow Town's residents.

—

After leaving the Adventure Association, Mu Suyin and Myah leisurely roam the neighboring area.

Being the heart of the town, one could find almost everything around this part if they know the right place to look.

Their goal was to find a smithy.

Along the way,

Various stores and workshops are mounting on both sides of the streets, with people walking in and out continuously. The flow was like a vicious cycle.

Occasionally, they stopped by a few food stalls as per Myah's request.

With the single silver coin given to him by Old Fei, he managed to buy a few candied apples for later and other small bites.

Naturally, he was happy, especially when the stall owner gave him an extra candied apple for free. One has to know that it cost ten copper coins!

The little guy was in a good mood.

...

In no time, it was already midday, and the blazing suns reached their highest mark.

Upon following the hammering sounds somewhere from the cornered distance, My Suyin and Myah soon found themselves inside a disordered smithy.

The place was boisterous with 'clank-clank!' noises of beating hammer.

Moreover, random chunks of metal and tools jumbled everywhere on the floor like trashes.

Then, there were also the multiple burning furnaces that endlessly produced red sparks floating in the air. Compared to the flaring heat outside, the temperature here was way worse, like a world of scorching lava.

"Grandma, can I stay outside?" Myah asked hurriedly and wiped away the sweats on his forehead. "It is so hot in here."

"No!"
