Chen Nan was extremely excited. After passing many tests, she finally saw the Ningshen Fruit Tree.
Taking long strides, Chen Nan rushed towards the Ningshen Fruit Tree.
But!
When he came closer and took a closer look, he discovered that there was not even a single fruit on these three trees, but only three flower buds, one on each of the three trees.
"this……"
Chen Nan was stunned for a moment.
He is here to pick the Ningshen Fruit, but the tree has just bloomed and the fruit has not yet come out. What should he do?
Seeing Chen Nan standing there stupidly, the black-haired chicken rushed over: "Boy, what's wrong?"
Chen Nan pointed to the flower buds on the three trees and said nothing.
"Damn, it hasn't grown yet!"
The black-feathered chicken was stunned. It had just bloomed now. How long would it take to wait for it to grow?
Chen Nan was extremely anxious, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered something.
Back at the bottom of the cliff, Xuan Tianji had told him that the Condensation Fruit was a magical medicine for psychics. People who truly love each other must water it with their blood before it can blossom and bear fruit. This is why he could only come to get the medicine in person.
"I'm confused!"
Chen Nan took out a long sword and cut a gash in his palm, and blood immediately flowed out.
Thinking of Su Qingqing, Chen Nan poured blood on one of the concentration fruit trees. In an instant, the flower buds glowed with light, white light spread out, and the flower buds opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, all the petals fell off, and a heart-shaped fruit appeared in front of me, crystal clear and only the size of a soybean.
Chen Nan knew that the fruits had just begun to bear fruit and they had to wait until the fruits were completely mature before they could be picked.
So he used his internal energy to force the blood in his body to flow out from the wound and pour it on the Ningshen Fruit Tree.
As Chen Nan's blood dripped, the Ningshen Fruit tree was filled with glowing lights. The Ningshen Fruit grew even faster. In two minutes, it grew to the size of a thumb. However, due to excessive blood loss, Chen Nan's face was already pale.
The Condensation Fruit that originally looked crystal clear turned a blood-red color after being watered with blood. That was the essence of Chen Nan's blood.
"Boy, you don't want your life, stop it!"
Seeing Chen Nan's continuous bloodletting, his face was as pale as ever before, the black-haired chicken wanted to stop him. However, Chen Nan's current cultivation level was much higher than his, and no matter how hard the black-haired chicken tried, he could not shake Chen Nan in the slightest.
.
Chen Nan gritted his teeth and insisted, "As long as the Ningshen Fruit can mature, it's okay for me to bleed a little."
"Are you a pig? Even if you bleed dry and lose your life, you can't make it mature all at once. You can only do it slowly." The black-feathered chicken yelled, but as soon as it finished speaking, Chen Nan plopped down.
He fell to the ground with a sound and fainted.
"You kid is doing something evil!"
The black-haired chicken kept cursing, banged his head on Chen Nan a few times, tapped his acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, and then used his internal power to refine the elixir into a concoction for him to drink.
"He, how come humans are so stupid as you? You really think that your own blood is free of charge. If I had known this, Master Chicken shouldn't have come with you and let you fend for yourself. Now you let Master Chicken come here?"
Take care of you, damn, I’m so mad at Chicken Master.”
The black-feathered chicken kept walking back and forth, pointing its wings at Chen Nan's nose and yelling curses. It looked really funny.
Chen Nan was in coma for three full days.
Three days later, at noon, the sun was shining in the sky, and Chen Nan woke up leisurely.
In the past three days, although Heimaoji kept feeding him water and refining elixirs for him to take, the excessive blood loss was different from ordinary injuries and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Chen Nan shook his groggy head and stood up: "Damn chicken, how long have I been sleeping?"
"Three days, damn it, you are exhausted to death." The black-haired chicken looked depressed and said angrily: "You should rest for a while first, this Concentration Fruit is not so easy to mature."
After looking at the concentration fruit that was as big as a thumb, Chen Nan nodded.
Since he could no longer bleed for a short period of time, Chen Nan practiced martial arts and allowed his body to recover. He went to the forest outside to cut down some trees, built a thatched house in the concentration orchard, and stayed here day and night, just in case.
Half a month later, Chen Nan felt that her body had almost recovered, so she drained blood again.
With the lessons learned from his last coma, this time he grasped the right measures. After reaching the limit of what his body could bear, he stopped. The concentration fruit, which was originally the size of a thumb, more than doubled in size.
After tearing off a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, throwing it into his mouth, crushing it and swallowing it, Chen Nan began to meditate and practice Qigong.
During this period of time, he practiced harder than ever before, because while practicing, he not only strengthened his physique, but also accelerated the recovery of his lost blood.
From then on, Chen Nan would have bloodletting done every half month.
After he drained the blood three more times, the Ningshen Fruit finally matured and grew into a heart-shaped fruit the size of a table tennis ball. It was crystal clear and had a faint red color.
Although it was grown by watering with blood, the fruit exudes a charming fragrance without the slightest smell of blood.
After picking the fruit, Chen Nan counted it with his fingers.
More than three months have passed since I left home.
It took more than half a month to practice the sword in the forest, and after arriving at the Ningshen Orchard, it took two and a half months to pick the Ningshen Fruit. Now it has been three months and five days.
The originally cold winter season is now in full bloom.
After taking some elixir, Chen Nan walked out with the black-feathered chicken without caring about his lack of energy and blood.
After returning to Famous Medicine Villa, the old friend of Heimaoji told Chen Nan that the so-called fifth test was to test his true feelings and see if he was willing to use his own blood to water the Condensation Fruit Tree.
Because the Ningshen Fruit is a magical medicine and the fruit tree is psychic, if the emotions are not true, those buds will never bloom and bear fruit, and even if they wait for hundreds of years, there will be no change at all.
Under the leadership of the old man, Chen Nan went to meet the owner of Mingyaoshan Villa.
After expressing his gratitude, Chen Nan said goodbye and left, eager to return home to see how his girl was doing.
When going down the mountain, the black-feathered chicken said: "Boy, do you think that Gongsun girl is still waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain?"
Chen Nan shook his head and said: "It's been more than three months, I must be gone."
"I bet she hasn't left, she's definitely still waiting," the black-haired chicken said confidently.
Chen Nan shrugged and ran down the mountain in large strides.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Chen Nan saw someone building a thatched house with bamboo and wood not far from the mountain gate. He subconsciously thought of Gongsun Yudie. She should be waiting for him here, right?
Chen Nan was thinking about it when the two young men guarding the mountain gate came towards him: "Brother Chen, the girl who came with you before has been taken back by her disciples. Before she left, she asked me to tell you
