Chapter 276
Perhaps because of the surrounding mountain cliffs sheltering the area, there was no breeze. As soon
as they walked into the valley, they immediately felt that the air around them was a little warmer. The
valley was not large .Soon, both of them arrived at the deepest area of the valley. The area was lush,
and all kinds of trees and flowers were growing there. They were flourishing, even though it was winter.
Fade Chen immediately observed all the trees and plants, looking for the Sacred Fig Tree. As they
walked through the dense vegetation, Fade carefully searched around, and tried to identify the different
trees. Master Xie also looked on the other side. But after some time, they couldn’t find any trace of the
Sacred Fig Tree. The situation felt strange to them. Master Xie said, "Mr. Chen, I have done some
research. The Sacred Fig Trees are generally tall and large. They often grow more than 20 meters in
height. If such a large Sacred Fig Tree exists in this valley, it should be obvious. However, we haven’t
found anything yet. It could be a coincidence that the wooden branches from the Sacred Fig Tree
appeared at the entrance of the valley." Hearing this, Fade couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t want to
admit that this could be true. However, after searching for a while, he had to agree with Master Xie’s
assessment. There was a high chance that he was correct. "Let’s search for it again!" Fade said, and
he continued to look around At this time, the sun had completely risen. The rays of the sun crossed the
mountain ridge and shone into the valley. Suddenly, the temperature in the valley became higher, as
though there were flames surrounding them. Even Master Xie, who was a highly skilled martial artist,

at the sun in the sky, and his eyes fell on a stone wall below him. Then, Fade walked toward the stone
wall. As soon as he approached the place, he felt that the air was warmer, and he felt heat waves
rushing toward him. Fade couldn’t help but feel delighted. He stamped with energy on the stone wall.
Suddenly, the stone wall was split open by the huge force he exerted, and a large cavern appeared
below him. In this hollow cavern, a Sacred Fig Tree of more than ten meters high was growing
luxuriantly. The tree was flourishing with leaves and branches. Although it was not exposed to sunlight,
the leaves were verdant green, which caused them to look fresh.
Fade became even more excited, because there were more than a dozen small fruits hanging on the
tree. The size of the fruits were similar to the size of fingernails. The fruits glowed brightly, and he could
feel the heat emanating from them. are the Figs!" "The Sacred Figs, he jumped into the cavern with joy.
said, and Then, Master Xie jumped in as well. He was surprised to see the huge glowing tree. It was as
though he had seen a legendary holy tree. Fade was not in a hurry to pick the Sacred Figs. Instead, he
circled around the Sacred Fig Tree and observed it carefully. He had a rough understanding of the tree.
It was at least five hundred years old. It could survive in this cavern, which was sealed by the stone
wall. Fade couldn’t help but sign in admiration. While Fade was marveling at the Sacred Fig Tree, his
eyes traced the roots of the tree, and he was shocked again because he found that there was a
crimson thread in the roots of the Sacred Fig Tree. This thread grew along the roots upward and crept
all the way to the center of the Sacred Fig Tree huge trunk. "This crimson thread should be the reason
of the growth of this Sacred Fig Tree." Fade thought. At the same time, he followed the roots of the tree
to search for the source of the thread. Along the way, the roots ran deep into the soil below. Fade
focused his inner energy on his hands and turned them into two small shovels, digging up the soil
quickly. He dug all the way down along the roots of the Sacred Fig Tree. With a clinking sound, Fade
felt that he had reached a solid object. He began to dig carefully along the edge of that object. Soon, a
red stone in the size of a fist was dug out by Fade. The stone was smooth and bright, as though it was
transparent. It seemed like there was crimson liquid flowing inside the stone. Moreover, heat was
emanating from the red stone. "This, this is the Strengthening Ruby ."Fade said. Looking at the stone in
his hand, Fade couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. An extremely surprised expression appeared on his
face. The Strengthening Ruby was a type of stone which was fiery in nature. Under the surface of the
stone was a layer of scorching liquid, which was the essence of the Strengthening Ruby At this
moment, Fade finally understood why this Sacred Fig Tree could grew so luxuriantly without sunlight. It
was due to this Strengthening Ruby. The thin, crimson line on the roots of the Sacred Fig Tree was the
sign that it was absorbing the energy of the Strengthening Ruby The Sacred Figs from the Sacred Fig
Tree which had absorbed the energy of the Strengthening Ruby would be more powerful in effect. Even
for Fade, they would be considered valuable treasures. In addition to this fact, the discovery of the
Strengthening Ruby also gave Fade a huge surprise. Prior to all this, Fade had brought back the young

was one of the nine cold objects that Fade needed. But because the growth of the Nine Leaf Ice Flower
depended on a special environment, it needed to be cultivated in a burning environment. Then its
growth would be stimulated Therefore, after Fade dug up the Nine Leaf Ice Flower, he always utilized
warm jade with his "Burning Po Suns" to maintain the growth of the Flower. of Nine Although the effects
were acceptable, the growth of the Flower was obviously not as effective, if one compares with the
growth utilizing fiery objects of nature. Therefore, the Strengthening Ruby could be buried in the ground
to provide a fiery environment for the growth of the Nine Leaf Ice Flower. At the thought of this, Fade
felt joy in his heart. He didn’t expect to find the Strengthening Ruby coincidentally while he was
searching for the Sacred Figs. It was like killing two birds with one stone. He kept the Strengthening
Ruby and refilled the hole he had dug with soil. Then, Fades eyes fell on the Sacred Fig Tree. The
Sacred Fig Tree was more than ten meters high and had luxuriant branches, but there were only a
dozen Sacred Figs. Each Fig was considered the essence of the Tree Therefore, it was very difficult for
the tree to bear each of them. Carefully picking up a total of sixteen Sacred Figs, Fade did not leave in
a hurry. Instead, he smashed the stone wall above the Sacred Fig Tree, allowing the sunlight to enter
and facilitate the growth of the Tree. After all, the Strengthening
Ruby had been dug out. If there was no sunlight, the Sacred Fig Tree would probably wither and die
After smashing the stone wall, Fade obtained a few tiny jade stones and buried them around the roots
of the Sacred Fig Tree. He injected several rays of energy into them, and this created a simple way for
the tree to absorb the energy it required for growth. After that, Fade and Master Xie jumped out from
the cavern..
