793 – Swiftly Growing A Gold Thread Fruit
The moment the Yang Spring Water and Yin Spring Water left the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, they collided inside the ball of light and emitted a large amount of fog. However, that fog could not escape outside of the ball of light. The Treasure Seeking Beast quickly lifted the ball of light and walked back to the medicinal herb with the four-petaled leaf before closing its hands.
As the Treasure Seeking Beast closed its hands, the mist within the ball of light began to shrink. At the bottom of the ball of light, a drop of milky white liquid slowly formed and dripped down.
“Pu”, that drop of liquid landed gently on the four-petaled leaf herb. Lan Xuanyu, Er Ming, and Qian Lei had been watching the Treasure Seeking Beast perform these actions. At this moment, they felt as if the four-petaled leaf herb had a life of its own and shook violently.
In the next moment, the four-petaled leaf herb began to tremble slightly. The originally ordinary-looking grass actually became transparent, and the leaves then stretched out and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Pu! Another drop of milky white liquid fell and the four-petal leaf herb grew even faster.
!!
The originally four-petaled grass gradually grew a fifth, sixth, and seventh petal. Although Lan Xuanyu wasn’t very knowledgeable about Heaven and Earth treasures, as the successor of the School of Life who had an affinity with life energy, he was extremely sensitive to it. He could clearly feel that the life energy of this ordinary herb was increasing crazily.
On the surface of the leaves, there was a red thread on each leaf. It was bright red like blood and immediately made the herb look different from the rest. Another drop of milky white liquid fell. The herb’s growth speed increased once again. It was initially only five inches tall but in just a short while, it grew to two feet tall.
Under the illumination of the many seven-petaled leaves, a small fruit gradually formed on the main stem in the center and began to take shape. The ball of light in the Treasure Seeking Beast’s hand had already dried up and no more milky white liquid dripped out. The Treasure Seeking Beast’s aura had clearly weakened and even its face had turned slightly pale.
The fruit only stopped growing when it was the size of a fist. What appeared before everyone’s eyes was a vermillion fruit with seven golden threads on its surface. It emitted a faint fragrance and was obviously not an ordinary fruit......
The Treasure Seeking Beast’s hands emitted a faint white light as it carefully plucked the fruit. It turned around and ran to Lan Xuanyu and raised the fruit over its head. “Master, please use it.” Lan Xuanyu took the fruit and felt that it was warm and soft in his hands. The temperature was higher than his body temperature, and he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What is this?” The Treasure Seeking Beast said proudly, “This is a Golden Thread Fruit, also known as a seven-petal Spiritual Fruit. It can strengthen one’s foundation and body, and is most suitable for treating internal injuries for those who were injured at their source. At the same time, it can sort out the blood vessels and nourish the meridians.”
“It’s a pity that the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well here is man-made and not a real divine spring. Otherwise, I might have been able to nurture a nine-petal Spiritual Fruit and could be considered a Heaven and Earth treasure.” Er Ming came over at this moment. He concealed the shock in his heart and asked, “How old is this seven-petal Spiritual Fruit?”
The Treasure Hunting Beast replied in disdain, “This can’t be considered a Heaven and Earth treasure in my eyes, it’s just a fruit for my master to eat.”
“As for age, what do you guys know about Heaven and Earth treasures? The most important thing is their maturity. Different Heaven and Earth treasures have different maturity depending on their age. The best time to harvest them is when they are about to give birth to intelligence but have yet to do it. It is because once they developed intelligence, they become truly intelligent life forms. If they were forcefully plucked, you would have to face karma. According to the rules of the Divine Realm, such spiritual fruits can already cultivate by themselves and thus can no longer be consumed as Heaven and Earth treasures. In the human world, it could be considered a soul beast.”
Er Ming said doubtfully,” When a Heaven and Earth treasure grows to 10,000 years, it is possible for it to gain sentience. Once it reaches 100,000 years, it will truly have a strong effect. Doesn’t that mean that 100,000-year Heaven and Earth treasures cannot be consumed? “
The Treasure Seeking Beast’s expression became even more disdainful.” What do you know? First of all, not all spiritual herbs can gain sentience. But that doesn’t mean that these spiritual herbs weren’t good. On the contrary, these spiritual herbs that can’t give birth to intelligence are more beneficial for nourishing the body. After all, all its nutrients are on its own body and don’t have to be used to evolve in another direction. Furthermore, with me around, it wouldn’t matter if a spiritual herb can’t gain sentience. Let alone 10,000 years, even if it was hundreds of thousands of years old, as long as I don’t let it gain sentience, it definitely won’t. Otherwise, why do you think I was in charge of taking care of the immortal herbs in the Divine Realm? Why do you think there are divine springs and immortal spiritual energy in the Divine Realm? Isn’t it very easy for immortal herbs to develop intelligence? But if all the immortal herbs were to develop intelligence, what could the gods use to nourish and cultivate in the Divine Realm? The Divine Realm wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many deities. I’m saying that you’re ignorant, but don’t take it badly because it’s the truth.’
Er Ming wasn’t bothered by the Treasure Seeking Beast’s tone. Instead, he smiled widely and said, “Treasure Master is right, I am indeed inexperienced in this aspect. Then can you cultivate all the Heaven and Earth treasures here until they reach maturity?” Lan Xuanyu stood at the side and was a little speechless. This senior Er Ming didn’t seem to be as honest as he appeared.
This Treasure Seeking Beast could really cultivate immortal herbs, and he even used honorifics. The Treasure Seeking Beast ignored him and said, “No, didn’t you say that I’m a swindler? What does a swindler know about immortal herbs?” Er Ming chuckled. “There is no swindler here, only Treasure Master. If you have any requests, you can ask for a treasure.”
The beast rolled its eyes and looked at Lan Xuanyu. “Master, do you want to help him?” Lan Xuanyu looked at Er Ming and said, “Senior, I saw that Treasure Master’s aura weakened after obtaining such a spiritual herb. I’m afraid there’s no way to nurture too many weapons.”
“Plop,” the Treasure Seeking Beast knelt down and gave Lan Xuanyu the fruit. “Master, Master, don’t call me Treasure Master, I can’t bear it. Just call me Little Trea.” Lan Xuanyu was somewhat helpless. He stretched out his hand and pulled it up from the ground, then handed over the Golden Thread Fruit in his hand. “You seem to be a little weak, eat it.”
The Treasure Seeking Beast shook its head. “You eat, you eat. I am by your side and can absorb your bloodline aura. You eat it to replenish your energy, and I will naturally absorb the excess energy, so you eating it is equivalent to me eating it. It’s fine if you eat more. With me mediating the medicinal effects of these spiritual herbs, I guarantee that it will only benefit your body.”
” I can help you absorb what ordinary people can’t.” Qian Lei kept staring at the Treasure Hunting Beast. Upon hearing its words, he blurted out, “You can even help absorb energy.”
He was a little regretful now, as if this Treasure Seeking Beast was really quite useful as it rolled its eyes at him. “If you don’t know, go to the side. Don’t you dislike me?”
“No, no, when did I ever dislike Treasure Master? Who is that?” Qian Lei smiled apologetically. “Treasure Master, I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai.”
“No need to say that, I was using you. Even if I followed you, I would have been able to get out by myself. I can’t follow anyone else other than my master, so you don’t have to regret it.” The Treasure Seeking Beast placed its hands behind its back and spoke with disdain. “Let’s get down to business, go to the side.” Er Ming pulled Qian Lei to the side and squatted in front of the Treasure Seeking Beast. “Treasure Master, what is that milky white liquid you just made?”
He and Da Ming were very clear about the process of constructing the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, so they were naturally very familiar with this place. However, they had never made the spring water here look like the milky white liquid. It was obvious that the spring water in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well had changed and nourished the spiritual herbs, allowing the Golden Thread Fruit to grow.
