"The number of Tai'an fruits that need to be handed over every year is thirty, and the extra ones can be kept for yourself, as a benefit of guarding the post."
"On average, you can save two Tai'an fruits every year. In Tianxuan Mirror, the price of Tai'an fruits is generally around 90 to 100 contribution points."
"So if you add it all up, the reward for being the acting guard is not low." He Zhenghao introduced Li Fan with a smile.
Li Fan nodded. Although He Zhenghao used some tricks, his words were true.
Among the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, those who can earn 1,000 contribution points every year during the Qi Refining Period are definitely very rare.
In this case, He Zhenghao ate meat and took Li Fan to drink some soup.
"I would also like to thank you, senior." Li Fan cupped his hands and said.
"It's easy to say, easy to say. You are from the island I guard, and it is my duty to support you. As long as you improve your cultivation in the future, it will not be in vain for me..." He Zhenghao was talking, and suddenly paused.
He let out a light sigh and looked at Li Fan with a slightly surprised tone: "Have you broken through to the middle stage of Qi refining?"
Li Fan was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party could see that he had used the Hidden Qi Talisman.
He nodded immediately and admitted generously: "Yes. I have a close relationship with Xiao Heng. He left a water attribute technique for me before he went out. This technique is very compatible with me, and I have made rapid progress in practice. In the past few days,
Just broke through."
"Haha, little friend, I act very cautiously. If it weren't for my special skill, I almost wouldn't have noticed. Is it because I used the Hidden Qi Talisman?"
Li Fan nodded.
"It's understandable. After all, you can never go wrong by being careful. In this world of immortality, there are really a lot of people with ulterior motives..." He Zhenghao was talking when he suddenly noticed that Li Fan looked at him in a strange way, and he quickly said, "Haha."
Opened the topic: "I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with that Xiao Heng, and he even left a special skill for you."
"Xiao Heng is truly a genius. He has only been practicing for a few years, and he is almost ready to build a foundation. His future is limitless!" Apparently He Zhenghao has been paying attention to Xiao Heng, and he was filled with emotion and envy when he talked about it.
.
"It is not impossible to achieve a golden elixir or even a Nascent Soul in the future. My little friend, you have an irreversible relationship with him, and you are truly blessed."
He Zhenghao said, his tone becoming more and more enthusiastic.
"It's a blessing to meet a senior." Li Fan boasted casually.
When He Zhenghao heard this, he laughed and was very happy.
At this moment, he stopped and turned to look in a certain direction in the city: "By coincidence, a Taian fruit is ripe now. I will show you how to pick this Taian fruit."
Li Fan nodded and followed He Zhenghao to a house.
Before entering the yard, I heard bursts of crying and howling.
After walking in, Li Fan discovered that there were more than a dozen human-faced fruits kneeling in the house, wearing linen, mourning, and white clothes.
In a coffin in the center, there lies a fruit with a human face that looks like it is sleeping soundly.
The fruit closed its eyes, tilted its mouth, and showed a strange smile, while its body remained motionless.
None of the people in the house noticed the arrival of Li Fan and the other two, they were just grieving for the departure of their relatives.
This scene in the field looks a bit funny and scary.
As he got closer, Li Fan smelled a strange fragrance coming out of the coffin.
He Zhenghao came to the coffin, muttered something, and raised his eyebrows towards the smiling face inside.
A burst of soft light shrouded the smiley face fruit slowly rising from the coffin and floating in mid-air.
Then it slowly shrank and turned into a small bright red fruit.
As the Tai'an fruit took shape, the fruits with human faces in mourning clothes all suddenly became quiet.
The white mourning clothes on their bodies slowly disappeared, and the expressions on their faces gradually changed from grief to confusion.
After looking around blankly for a moment, the fruits finally dispersed in silence.
"How?" He Zhenghao handed the Tai'an fruit to Li Fan.
"It's very strange." Watching this scene of picking Tai'an fruits made Li Fan feel a little uncomfortable for some reason, so he just reluctantly replied.
Li Fan took the Tai'an fruit in his hand and observed it carefully.
The fruit looks similar to the apple in my memory, but the color is even red and a bit dazzling.
And a steady stream of aroma wafts out from the Taian fruit.
This aroma seemed to penetrate into the depths of people's souls. Li Fan swallowed involuntarily when he smelled it.
"My little friend hasn't eaten this Tai'an fruit yet, why not try it first." He Zhenghao suggested.
"Things that increase longevity have a natural attraction for monks like us. The longer it lasts, the greater the temptation." He Zhenghao looked at Li Fan's hesitant look and added with a smile.
Sure enough, the effect of the fragrance seemed to accumulate. As Li Fan hesitated, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
Aroused by the aroma, a sense of hunger wells up from deep inside.
So, after a moment, Li Fan no longer hesitated and swallowed the Tai'an fruit whole.
The feeling of hunger disappeared immediately. Although it was only a small one, Li Fan still burped after eating it, as if he had eaten a big meal.
Li Fan checked his [Huanzhen] panel and found that the upper limit of biological age had increased by 5 years.
Smacking his lips, Li Fan reminisced about the taste of Tai'an fruit: "This is the first time I have encountered this strange thing that can increase longevity. It is really extraordinary. It just looks a little weird. It looks like a human.
Terrified."
He Zhenghao responded with a smile: "This Tai'an fruit was transformed by humans, of course it looks like it."
Li Fan's expression suddenly froze.
Suppressing the turmoil in his stomach, Li Fan asked with some horror: "Are all Tai'an Guo in this city real people?"
He Zhenghao was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Fan's reaction.
However, after all, Li Fan had just entered the world of immortality not long ago, so he could understand it, so he continued to explain: "Strictly speaking, Tai'an fruit is a fruit, not a human being."
Li Fan was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he still had concerns: "What does it mean to change from a human being?"
"This is about the origin of the Tai'an fruit." He Zhenghao took Li Fan and flew back to the top of the city.
"Five hundred years ago, Tai'an Island was just a very ordinary island. There were no valuable specialties in the waters around the island, and there were only a few thousand mortals living here for generations."
"I don't know how many small islands there are in the sea of clouds."
"But one day, everything suddenly became different."
"First, the mortals on the surrounding islands discovered that they had not seen the residents of Tai'an Island for a long time. Businessmen on the island occasionally interacted with each other before, but they have not been seen for more than a year."
"Driven by curiosity, some people sailed to Tai'an Island to find out."
"Who would have thought that after several waves of people went there, they never came back."
"Realizing that something was wrong, people quickly reported the matter to the island guard at the time."
"The guard at that time was already a monk at the Golden Core Stage. Even so, he fell into deep fear after seeing what happened on Tai'an Island."
