Ji An moved to Ayun's side, looked at the fruit as deep and black as ink, and smiled.
"An unexpected blessing. I wonder whether this fruit is meant to be eaten or used."
Using Soul Nurturing Incense to strengthen Soul Power was a slow process. If a spirit fruit could strengthen Soul Power with immediate results, it would be a precious treasure to every cultivator.
The only pity was that the spirit fruit was merely Fifth-Tier Low-Grade. Its effects on him might not be very good.
Ayun replied with a grin, "There's no need to worry about that at all. Once the spirit fruit ripens, we'll naturally find out."
Ji An smiled. "That makes perfect sense. Are you sure there are two fruits?"
"Yes. I checked carefully three times already."
Ji An stroked his chin in thought. He planned to seek out Xuan Shuang Sanren when the spirit fruit was close to ripening and ask whether there were any pills made with Soul Nurturing Fruit as an ingredient.
Eating this sort of spirit fruit directly was too wasteful. If Xuan Shuang Sanren had neither such pills nor a pill formula, he would consume one fruit himself and decide whether to sell the second based on the circumstances.
Based on his experience planting other Fifth-Tier spirit fruit trees, the fruits should ripen in seventy or eighty years. If luck favored him, he might obtain Soul Nurturing Fruit again before entering the Vast Sea Realm.
Half a month later, Ji An arrived at Que Yue Sanren's cave abode and took out a Storage Bag.
"Fellow Daoist, I have come to repay my debt. This is one thousand jin of Fifth-Tier Low-Grade Yellow Emperor's Virtue Earth. Please weigh it."
He had refined three thousand jin of Yellow Emperor's Virtue Earth from the soil
