The shopkeeper took out a bronze key then inserted it into the door With a loud clicking sound, the two sides of the door slowly opened
A rich life energy ca out the moment the door to the Dracohouse was opened It per as if all the pores in the body were being relaxed
This so-called Dracohouse was only a s else here Wait, to be exact, there was an old tree planted in the yard as well
This old tree did not look very exceptional at first, but despite being only three feet tall, it gave the feeling that it was shouldering the sky It had been growing for who kno many years Its dried bark reseh as steel
It seemed that even if the sky was about to collapse, the tree would be able to lift it up
Li Qiye circled around it and eventually, his eyes fell onto the few leaves His expression turned serious
“It isat the tree
“Dracofruit…” The shopkeeper looked at the tree as well: “Sir, where are these fruits? Sorry, my old eyes do not see well anymore”
He pointed it out for the shopkeeper The shopkeeper finally saw a Dracofruit There was indeed a fruit a the sparse leaves It was the size of a thumb and seemed to have matured, yet it did not fall down It was indeed hard to see without careful observation
“There are two of therowing on the tree before
“There were two before, did someone pluck one?” Li Qiye asked
In fact, he didn’t really e since the descendants of the Xu Clan were all mortals They wouldn’t be able to pick the fruit
“Hmm, I really did not pay attention to this” The shopkeeper shook his head: “I didn’t know that these fruits were there before, so I don’t know if someone had taken one”
Li Qiye looked at the fruit and casually asked: “Have any outsiders been in here? I’ about cultivators”
The shopkeeper pondered for a : “That can’t be true Sir, the ancestral teachings say to not le with cultivators Moreover, only our children are allowed inside this place”
The shopkeeper thought about it a bitabout cultivators, then the only one that has come here should be the Ancestral Aunt This ritten down in our family records The Ancestral Aunt stayed here for a period of time Normally, ouldn’t stay in this place since we aren’t used to the rich air I think only our Ancestral Aunt was here before”
“Is your Ancestral Aunt still alive?” Li Qiye had to ask
The Ancestral Aunt hter of the Xu Ancestor; a happy little girl forever scarred by the vicious war
Nevertheless, she was once very powerful After the war's end, her cultivation was right behind the Xu Ancestor’s
“Hmm, I don’t really know There are no records in our clan about her” The shopkeeper shook his head
Li Qiye said: “Go do your thing I will stay here for a couple of days If you need anything, you can coreed before leaving
After he left, Li Qiye stood before the ageless tree and quietly conterion Mountains The Ancient Ming tried their best back then and still couldn’t obtain the iteon Dynasty was even built here to rule this land That iteon Mountains were considered very dangerous by others, but keep inof the past wanted the itereat secret was buried here at the Hidden-dragon Mountains and Godwar Mountains

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head: “Sir, I’m afraid you misunderstood Our Xu Clan only has a winehouse here, we don’t have an inn Our Xu Residence is only for fauests”
