Chen Fei had already taken Xuan Ti Fruit twice before. By the third time, its effects had inevitably diminished.
However, Chen Fei did not need the portion of the Xuan Ti Fruit that enhanced comprehension of cultivation techniques.
Any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures valued by those in the Mountain Sea Realm and capable of raising cultivation contained effects that improved perception and understanding of techniques.
Many Mountain Sea Realm cultivators even prized this aspect most, considering the vast primordial energy contained within the spiritual materials to be secondary.
