As theywalked through the dense vegetation, Fade carefully searched around, and tried to identify the differenttrees. Master Xie also looked on the other side.

The Sacred Fig Trees are generally tall and large. They often grow more than 20 meters inheight. If such a large Sacred Fig Tree exists in this valley, it should be obvious. However, we haven’tfound anything yet. It could be a coincidence that the wooden branches from the Sacred Fig Treeappeared at the entrance of the valley." Hearing this, Fade couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t want toadmit that this could be true. However, after searching for a while, he had to agree with Master Xie’sassessment. There was a high chance that he was correct. "Let’s search for it again!" Fade said, andhe continued to look around At this time, the sun had completely risen. The rays of the sun crossed themountain ridge and shone into the valley. Suddenly, the temperature in the valley became higher, asthough there were flames surrounding them. Even Master Xie, who was a highly skilled martial artist,had a layer of sweat on his forehead. But at this moment, Fade raised his head suddenly. He glancedat the sun in the sky, and his eyes fell on a stone wall below him. Then, Fade walked toward the stonewall.

The fruits glowed brightly, and he couldfeel 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 asthough he had seen a legendary holy tree. Fade was not in a hurry to pick the Sacred Figs. Instead, hecircled 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 stonewall. Fade couldn’t help but sign in admiration. While Fade was marveling at the Sacred Fig Tree, hiseyes traced the roots of the tree, and he was shocked again because he found that there was acrimson thread in the roots of the Sacred Fig Tree. This thread grew along the roots upward and creptall the way to the center of the Sacred Fig Tree huge trunk. "This crimson thread should be the reasonof the growth of this Sacred Fig Tree." Fade thought. At the same time, he followed the roots of the treeto search for the source of the thread. Along the way, the roots ran deep into the soil below. Fadefocused his inner energy on his hands and turned them into two small shovels, digging up the soilquickly. He dug all the way down along the roots of the Sacred Fig Tree. With a clinking sound, Fadefelt that he had reached a solid object. He began to dig carefully along the edge of that object. Soon, ared stone in the size of a fist was dug out by Fade. The stone was smooth and bright, as though it wastransparent. It seemed like there was crimson liquid flowing inside the stone. Moreover, heat wasemanating from the red stone. "This, this is the Strengthening Ruby ."Fade said. Looking at the stone inhis hand, Fade couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. An extremely surprised expression appeared on hisface.

Each Fig was considered the essence of the Tree Therefore, it was very difficult forthe tree to bear each of them. Carefully picking up a total of sixteen Sacred Figs, Fade did not leave ina hurry. Instead, he smashed the stone wall above the Sacred Fig Tree, allowing the sunlight to enterand facilitate the growth of the Tree. After all, the Strengthening
Ruby had been dug out.
