From Cao Guo Feng’s description, the Nine Nether First Young Master was truly wild. To think that while establishing a private space, he was still planning to use this place as a starting point to connect to other spaces. How grand… Jun Mo Xie was so impressed by that person from 10,000 years ago that he almost prostrated himself in admiration…
“Essentially, the inside of this place is not different from the Xuan Xuan Continent in any way. The Misty Illusory Manor can be said to be in another big world! Or perhaps, it may be slightly smaller than the Xuan Xuan Continent, but there’s no big difference!”
Cao Guo Feng said with a smile. “So the Misty Illusory Manor that the people describe as a small place, just a mere manor… is actually all incorrect and wrong! How could the Misty Illusory Manor be compared to a mere three Holy Lands?”
Cao Guo Feng delivered this line with a sense of pride. From the way Jun Mo Xie saw it, it was to be expected.
The Misty Illusory Manor controlled a giant world on its own; were the three Holy Lands capable of that?
“It has been unbearable staying for the past couple of days. I wish to go out for a walk; may I?” Jun Mo Xie requested.
“No problem!” Cao Guo Feng agreed without any hesitation. “But your body has not fully recovered yet, so don’t wander too far. I’ll send two people to accompany you to go for a walk, but don’t tire yourself too much. Remember to come back earlier.”
“Understood.” Jun Mo Xie agreed casually, yet he was thinking. I wonder if there is any distinction of territories or countries… going out for a walk… I’ll take it as a tour…
“Right, there is one more thing you must remember… Don’t go to that Main Palace of the Misty Illusory Manor for now.” Cao Guo Feng reminded. “That’s the place you walked out of after you had recovered from your injuries. That place is the foundation of the Misty Illusory Manor, and there are countless rare treasures within it. They are all the rich inheritances the Nine Nether First Young Master left behind back then… but there are also countless dangers!”
He warned seriously. “If it is discovered that someone attempted to go near that place or think of vandalizing it… they will be killed regardless of who they are! Even if you are my disciple, or the owner of the Free and Natural Physique, the protectors of the place will show no mercy. It’s your first time here, so you don’t know the rules. If you cause any trouble, no one can save you.”
“Oh the Main Palace of the Misty Illusory Manor is the place where the fruit is produced, right?” Jun Mo Xie asked ‘innocently’. “That fruit is really horrid in its taste! It can’t even compare to an apple. It only smells good, but its taste is so bad it makes people gag. Is there really anyone who wants that thing…”
“Stinking brat! What nonsense are you blabbering!” Cao Guo Feng was shocked. “That fruit is the treasure of the Manor. God knows how many people dream of having it one day. You dare to say it tastes horrible? This old man has spent 800 years in this place and has never eaten it before! Don’t be so ungrateful. Count your blessings…”
Saint Emperor Cao paused before continuing. “But the tree of that fruit is not in that Palace… Didn’t you grow up in the mountains? How can fruit trees grow in the palace?”
“But Palaces have all their own gardens and stuff; this is common knowledge…” Jun Mo Xie said.
“What common knowledge? You know nothing! Those are only flower gardens. How can they grow spiritual fruits! Who has ever seen a giant tree that reaches into the heavens being planted in a palace?” Cao Guo Feng chided, not knowing to laugh or cry.
“Oh, so that tree is pretty big ah.” Jun Mo Xie continued to fish for information.
“Of course! That three is already 10,000 years of age. How could it be small?! Even a ginseng will grow into a human shape after 10,000 years! What more the Seven Color Holy Tree that already had thousands of years of age when it was replanted here?”
“Then… a tree that is 10,000 over years in age… the fruits will fall when ripen and will wither and become books. Since it’s been 10,000 over years, it should have developed into an entire orchard by now right? Why haven’t you gotten to eat it with your high status? This doesn’t make sense ah!” Jun Mo Xie said in a roundabout manner.
“Do you think that this is an apple or hawthorn? If this thing is so easy to grow then we’d have a whole orchard by now! But until now, we could only successfully nurture two, and these are only alive… only the original tree can bear fruits even now… and we can only harvest once every 500 years… And there are only fourteen fruits each time! If we calculate in groups of seven, there are only two batches that are produced every 500 years! And the accumulation of 500 years, half of it has been used on you! And here you are, talking big!”
Cao Guo Feng said harshly.
“So little? How can there be so little?!” Jun Mo Xie cried out in surprise. This time, he wasn’t acting it! Only two batches in 500 years… this level of efficiency was a little too low?! Even the Great Immortal Zheng Yuan’s Ginseng Fruit could produce thirty each time… not even to mention Queen Mother of the West’s peaches of immortality… 1

Two… how could it be enough? And it seemed like they only had one batch left…
“Such a rare treasure of the world; how much of it do you think there is?” Cao Guo Feng said crossly. “Furthermore, for the past 2000 years, one of the batch of the fruits that were harvested are provided to the three Holy Lands. As providence for the All Seeing Eye of Qiao Ying… This means that every 500 years, there is only one batch produced! Thousands of years, we only managed to accumulate three or four batches of them, you had already eaten up one entire batch on your own. What more do you want?”
Jun Mo Xie looked at Cao Guo Feng flabbergasted.
Then if that was the case… then what use is there for my trip this time? Even if I plunder it all… it’s only three batches… it’s absolutely not enough to go around, and it’ll attract the endless pursuit of the Misty Illusory Manor…
If Cao Guo Feng knew who he was taking in, he’d definitely fly into a rage. Immediately firing this precious disciple he had just taken in!
“Go for a walk. From today onwards, you’ll be living in the Misty Illusory Manor. Under most circumstances, if your cultivation is not at that of a Spirit Xuan, I will not let you out. Even if you go out, you must conceal your identity appropriately…”
Cao Guo Feng laughed before continuing. “Actually, in this place, there is not much difference from the Xuan Xuan Continent. It is also where the pugilistic world exists. This is something that you must know. But just that under the suppression of the Misty Illusory Manor, no one dares to behave recklessly, that’s all.”
“To think that it’s like this! Then how many people are there in the Misty Illusory Manor all together?” Jun Mo Xie asked curiously.
“We never calculated properly, but there should be a few million. Oh right, when you go out there, you must remember one thing. There are some people that you must not offend. At least, before you are strong enough, you mustn’t provoke them.”
“Must not offend?” Jun Mo Xie’s brows unconsciously twitched. “Who are they? Are the forces behind them powerful?”
“Someone that even my disciple cannot afford to offend would naturally have immense forces behind him. The very first of the list is a youth that wears black clothing everyday. This child is surnamed Zhan, called Zhan Yu Shu. This person is the great-grandson of the Chief Elder of the Misty Illusory Manor, Zhan Tian Ya. Elder Zhan can be said to be highly respected in the Misty Illusory Manor, and his Xuan Skills are extraordinary, already surpassing the level of regular Saint Emperors. But this Elder has a bad habit: he is extremely overprotective and dotes on this great-grandson of his especially. So no one dares to offend this Zhan Yu Shu in the Misty Illusory Manor. And do not stir up such a big trouble for a small thing; it’s not worth it…”
Cao Guo Feng sighed. “Actually, not only Zhan Yu Shu. No one in the Misty Illusory Manor dares to carelessly provoke anyone from the Zhan Family. This also caused the Zhan Family to become one of the big families in the Misty Illusory Manor aside from the Main Palace. Actually aside from being overprotective, he is really not a bad senior…”
Jun Mo Xie nodded his head and said, “Zhan Yu Shu, a young man dressed in black. I’ve remembered it.”
Cao Guo Feng chuckled, feeling heartened, thinking that his beloved disciple had already remembered his warnings and would definitely not go and provoke that Zhan Yu Shu. But how would he know that since Jun Mo Xie found out that there were only those few pieces of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, he was already full of rage that fueled his gut. Then plus the depression that overwhelmed him, if he didn’t take this opportunity to vent it a little, how could he rid this feeling of frustration?
Don’t offend?
F*ck! This daddy dares to offend the entire Misty Illusory Manor! In my blatant process of offending, how could a mere Zhan Yu Shu count as anything?!
“You said that there were a few people just now; I believe there are others right?” Jun Mo Xie asked, full of interest. His expression was very sincere and humble, as if he really intended to remember them and absolutely would not go and provoke them.
Whereas in fact, what he was scheming was that he would definitely remember them carefully and naturally go and offend those that he could not offend. He would also absolutely go and provoke those that he didn’t offend after creating a suitable opportunity!
Wrecking havoc and turning this place upside down then escaping out of this place…
“There is indeed one more person. This person is also a young man. He is more inconspicuous than this Zhan Yu Shu, so he is ranked second. But this person is more ruthless than Zhan Yu Shu. Although he doesn’t take action easily, if he does, it will absolutely ruthless and decisive, easily taking away someone’s life. So you must be extra careful when dealing with this person… especially when it comes to women, if possible, try not to clash with him! Youngsters are full of sap and are most likely to clash in respect to these areas. But you must know, your goal is to stand at the top of the world, not to gather beauties as your wives!”
Cao Guo Feng said this in an odd tone, as if he detested this. “You have the legendary Free and Natural Physique; everyone in the Misty Illusory Manor is aware of this. The world outside will definitely pay even more attention to you. All of us old fellows know your potential, but those young juniors, anyone of them were at the top of the world before your sudden arrival, so naturally they won’t be able to accept it. And… because of your physique, I believe that may girls… will be interested in you.”
Cao Guo Feng’s expression when saying this was full of glee and pride, as if he were looking at his own handsome son who would have no problems looking for a wife. “You can choose, and you can also not choose. You must know that because you just recovered from your grave injuries, we have rejected many visitors these past couple of days. Otherwise, all those people who are looking for you to become their son-in-law will have been queuing for a long time outside now…”
Jun Mo Xie’s jaw dropped. It was merely a Free and Natural Physique; no matter how heaven-defying it was, it was just a unique type of physique right? Like a rare blood type on earth, that’s all. But over here, it was in such high demands to this extent…
