Saint White Lotus said: "Well, Sister Mingzhu has already rejected Yue's request, so don't worry too much."
Yue Mingzhu nodded helplessly: "It's just a temporary refusal, but it may not be possible next time."
Xia Qingchen laughed and said, "Go back and rest. You can pick ancient soul fruits tomorrow. You must rest well."
If he has deep meaning.
Yue Mingzhu was surprised: "Why do you emphasize resting well? Isn't it just tasting an ancient soul fruit?"
Xia Qingchen said: "We'll know tomorrow."
"Sell it out!" Yue Mingzhu stuck out her tongue, took the White Lotus Saint on her arm, and jumped away.
Just outside the courtyard, in a corner that Xia Qingchen couldn't see.
The two women immediately separated and looked at each other.
"Hmph! For the sake of brother Qingchen, I'll forgive you once." Yue Mingzhu hummed softly, and returned to the room with her little hands on her back.
The White Lotus Saint looked at her back and murmured: "I will return Xia Qingchen to you as soon as possible."
In her mind, Xia Qingchen and Yue Mingzhu are the ones who like each other.
Let’s talk about Xia Qingchen.
That night, he entered the secret room and continued to practice martial arts.
After many days of preparation, he improved rapidly.
"Man and sword unite!"
With one strike of the sword, the bright sword shadow, which was five feet long, fell down.
A half-foot-deep dent was left on the stone wall of the secret room.
Xia Qingchen was very satisfied with this.
Immediately put away the sword, sit cross-legged on the spot, and recuperate.
The next day.
Gongzixiang came to Shuiyunjian in person, came to the secret room, and asked Xia Qingchen: "Ancestor Xia, today is the time when the ancient soul fruit is ripe. Ancestor please come."
Xia Qingchen nodded and opened the door to the secret room.
Young Master Xiang waited with a smile, and out of the corner of his eye he naturally caught a glimpse of the half-foot-deep sword mark on the stone wall.
He looked surprised: "Has anyone else lived in Shuiyunjian?"
"No, what's wrong?" Xia Qingchen asked confused.
Gongzixiang pointed to the sword mark and said: "The stone wall of the secret room is made of black steel sand. It is indestructible. It can leave such a deep sword mark, at least at the sixth level of the middle star level."
He glanced at Xia Qingchen, but did not connect him with Jianhen.
"If you have such a level of cultivation, you probably don't need to worry about Xia Houjie." Young Master Xiang sighed.
Xia Qingchen shrugged: "Worried? Not really."
Within five days.
He never thought about it.
"Okay, the Ancient Soul Fruit is important." Young Master Xiang said.
soon.
Several people gathered together.
Except Ouyang Zhen, everyone else arrived.
They came to the island in the middle of the lake again.
We went straight to the center of the island in the middle of the lake, in front of an extinct volcano.
The foot of the volcano is covered with icy limestone left countless years ago.
Not a blade of grass grows here.
Only in a stone crevice, an ancient tree with a hundred-foot-long flame grew slowly.
Black flames burned on the trees, and the intense heat could be felt even from a great distance.
In the crown of the tree, dark red, lava-like fruits loomed.
"Is that the Ancient Soul Fruit?" Wu Jinlong's eyes were filled with intense heat.
Xu Yuan was also filled with excitement: "If you swallow one in the middle star position, you have a chance to break through two levels of divine objects."
The two of them were in awe.
A discordant tone came.
"Breaking through two levels is really whimsical."
I saw Xia Houjie walking towards him surrounded by young tribesmen.
He acted condescendingly and played with taste.
Xu Yuan's expression froze.
Isn’t that right?
Not only the rumors were like this, but he checked the ancient books afterwards and found the same was recorded in them.
Gongzi Xiang walked down the steps to Xu Yuan and spoke to him: "It's the first time we meet Mr. Xu. Why is it strange that he doesn't know anything about it?"
He turned to Xu Yuan, and also to Xia Qingchen and his companions: "Breaking through two levels is the most ideal state. In fact, it is almost impossible to achieve it."
Wu Jinlong felt strange: "Why?"
He was about to swallow the ancient soul fruit, so he had to ask in detail.
Gongzixiang pointed to the ancient soul fruit tree: "Different people pick different ancient soul fruits."
Wu Jinlong and Xu Yuan looked stunned.
The fruits are all the same, so why are there differences after picking?
"There is only a moment from the time when the ancient soul fruit matures to when it decays! Within a moment, the essence of the ancient soul fruit will quickly drain away." Young Master Xiang said.
"When picking the ancient soul fruit, it will feel threatened and automatically release illusions. If the spirit is not strong enough, it will fall into the illusion and be unable to extricate itself, which will waste time and cause the ancient soul fruit to decay."
"On the contrary, those with strong mental power can pick the ancient soul fruit instantly, obtain its essence at its peak moment, and swallow it. Only in this way can it be possible to break through to the middle star level."
It turns out that picking ancient soul fruits is also related to spirituality.
Yue Mingzhu and White Lotus Saint were both stunned.
No wonder Xia Qingchen reminded them yesterday to take a good rest and replenish their spirits.
Xu Yuan frowned and said, "Is the illusion very powerful?"
Otherwise, how could that young master say that breaking through two levels is fanciful?
Xiahou Jie chuckled: "In my Xiahou Divine Sect, the only one who can pick off the ancient soul fruit within ten breaths is the ancestor. Do you think it is powerful?"
The ancient soul fruit within ten breaths is in the best condition.
Once exceeded, the essence will disappear.
Xu Yuan and Wu Jinlong's faces turned slightly pale.
Ancient Soul Fruit is much more troublesome than imagined.
It is unrealistic to try to break through two levels in a row through it.
"It's not bad to just break through one level." The two quickly adjusted their form and said to themselves.
Who knows.
Xia Houjie chuckled: "Don't say it too early. If you are not strong enough, you may not be able to get the Ancient Soul Fruit of the same level."
Xu Yuan frowned: "There is no need to underestimate people, Xu's mental power is not as weak as you think."
He hated Xia Houjie's eyes.
Just like a rich man looking down at a beggar, he is full of contempt from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, you'll know later." Xia Houjie laughed it off.
He stood aside.
He looked sideways at Xia Qingchen, half-smiling but not smiling: "Ancestor Xia, you too, try to get a good-quality Ancient Soul Fruit, so that you have a chance to take my life."
Xia Qingchen was indifferent and said nothing.
In his eyes, Xia Houjie was already a dead man.
"Ancestor has arrived!" a high-pitched cry came out.
Under the protection of the four divine generals, the ancestor of Xiahou came under the tree.
He was listless and lying on the armchair drowsily.
He reluctantly opened his eyes and said: "Ancestor Xia, the Ancient Soul Fruit must be picked by yourself to be effective. Later, you will have to rely on yourself. I can't help you."
"Understood!" Xia Qingchen said.
He looked at Patriarch Xiahou thoughtfully.
His illness is probably an act.
It’s just that I don’t know why I have to deliberately disguise it.
Ancestor Xiahou nodded slowly. When he noticed that one of the Ancient Soul Fruits began to shine, he said, "This one is almost ripe. Who will pick it?"
However.
No one responded.
Because everyone in Xiahou Shenmen knows that the first mature ancient soul fruit has the lowest effect.
It is extremely uneconomical to harvest it.
Seeing no one, Xia Houjie said calmly: "Old ancestor, we are a guest from afar, why don't we let Mr. Xia try it first?"
Each person can only pick one Ancient Soul Fruit.
If Xia Qingchen picks this one, he will lose the opportunity.
Hear the words.
Xia Qingchen stood there with his arms folded and said calmly: "If I were the first, you wouldn't get a single Ancient Soul Fruit."
(I’m not thinking smoothly, so I’ll update twice today and update ten later.)
