On the Benefits of Scientific Fruit Tree Cultivation for the Ten Great Spiritual Roots

Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to pick an apple.

"May I ask, Young Master, what kind of Spirit Fruit is this?"

"This is an apple, symbolizing peace!" Jiang Ping replied.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded secretly. This apple was indeed not bad. He would try it first.

He took a big bite.

Zhen Yuanzi was instantly filled with shame.

The taste was sweet and sour, crisp and juicy!

In all his years of cultivation, he had never eaten such a delicious Spirit Fruit.

Hongyun, oh Hongyun, you really didn't lie to me.

It's all your exaggerated expression that made me mistakenly believe you were deliberately belittling my Ginseng Fruit.

Munch, munch, he ate the apple in a few bites.

Within a few breaths, Zhen Yuanzi's spiritual sense stirred.

He felt a subtle, inexplicable change within himself, but he couldn't quite grasp it yet.

After sensing carefully, he was overjoyed.

His karma was gradually dissipating!

This major problem that had always troubled and worried him was inexplicably resolved today.

Because of his karma, he had long hesitated to fully sever his three corpses.

As his karma thickened, it was accompanied by immeasurable tribulations.

The path to the Great Dao was fraught with danger.

Who would have thought that today would bring a turn for the better.

His own calamities had also been resolved by more than half!

The Great Dao was promising in the future!

Zhen Yuanzi was extremely excited, and suddenly, a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

"What is spoken becomes reality!"

This was the method of a true master!

He had seen through my deep karma from the start, so from the moment we met this morning, he had been secretly guiding me.

Including the Ginseng Fruit I spat out, and Hongyun's strange behavior.

All of this was part of the master's grand plan.

Otherwise, I would have definitely eaten that peach, or that beautiful bunch of grapes, and missed out on this apple.

I simply don't believe that there are Spirit Fruits in the Primordial Era that can resolve karma.

The reason it could dissolve my karma was all thanks to the master's prophecy that the apple symbolized peace!

What earth-shattering divine ability this was! A single sentence, a few words, could actually change my path!

The master is truly mysterious and unfathomable. Such divine abilities are almost comparable to the Heavenly Dao!

Terrifying, truly terrifying!

He couldn't imagine such a realm at all.

Zhen Yuanzi was filled with emotion, and his gaze towards Jiang Ping became even more reverent.

"How did it taste?" Jiang Ping asked with a smile.

Zhen Yuanzi said earnestly, "Mm, it's indeed delicious. Young Master, I apologize for my previous rashness. I was truly short-sighted to not know that such delicious fruits existed in the Primordial Era."

"Haha, Mister Da Yuan, you flatter me. To cultivate this kind of fruit, it only requires some simple techniques."

Jiang Ping was immensely proud. It seemed the Guide to Scientific Fruit Tree Cultivation that the system gave him had some merit.

The fruits he cultivated were praised even by people in the Primordial Era. Although they couldn't be used for cultivation, I could sell fruits in the future.

Zhen Yuanzi was shaken upon hearing this. The master's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.

Was he going to teach me the technique for cultivating Innate Spiritual Roots?

Zhen Yuanzi re-examined the fruit trees, his heart beginning to burn with excitement.

If the master could truly teach me the technique for cultivating Spirit Roots, I would properly cultivate the Ginseng Fruit tree when I returned.

In the future, I could increase the yield and quality of Ginseng Fruit, consume a few more myself to increase my cultivation, and use the rest to exchange for Spirit Treasures and Spirit Pills with other fellow Daoists.

Then I could use this resource to rapidly improve my cultivation level, and my future path to the Great Dao would be unimpeded!

"Young Master, do you know this technique?"

Jiang Ping chuckled and took out a book from his embrace, the Guide to Scientific Fruit Tree Cultivation.

"Take a look when you have time. Just follow the operations in here."

Zhen Yuanzi took it and quickly flipped through the first few pages.

The more he read, the more alarmed he became.

The techniques recorded in this book were simply unheard of and seemed incredibly profound.

It seemed he would need to go back and study it thoroughly.

Zhen Yuanzi was deeply impressed and immediately thanked Jiang Ping, "Thank you, Young Master. Why would you give me such a precious book instead of keeping it for yourself?"

Jiang Ping waved his hand and said indifferently, "Take it. I don't need it anymore anyway."

Hongyun's eyes immediately turned red with envy. This was unbearable. If Zhen Yuanzi learned this technique, wouldn't he become even more arrogant?

No, I have to get some benefits out of this.

He quickly transmitted his voice, "Zhen Yuanzi, you have to make a copy of this book for me. I want to study it when I get back too."

Zhen Yuanzi disdainfully replied, "You don't have a Ginseng Fruit Tree, so why would you learn this? Stop trying to join the fun and go somewhere cool to relax."

Hongyun snorted coldly, "I don't care. Whoever sees it gets a share, or I'll spread this news around and see what you do!"

Zhen Yuanzi gritted his teeth and angrily rebuked, "Good for you, Hongyun! You've finally revealed your true colors. You're such a despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

Hongyun sneered, "Aren't you afraid I'll expose your true face right here and now, letting the esteemed figure know that you have a Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

Zhen Yuanzi was instantly furious. He forced himself to endure and said, "Alright, I'll make a copy for you when we get back. Now, shut your stinking mouth!"

Hongyun felt smugly pleased. Hmph, Zhen Yuanzi, did you really think I couldn't handle you!

"My lords, would you like some more fruit?" Jiang Ping asked again.

Although Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun desperately wanted more, they absolutely dared not eat another bite.

Their bodies had already reached their limit. If they ate one more bite, they might not be able to suppress it, and that would be very bad.

Zhen Yuanzi pondered, it would be better to leave today and come back alone later. After all, Hongyun was too unreliable. He worried that Hongyun might slip up and cause trouble.

Hongyun also considered that Zhen Yuanzi was sinister and cunning. With him around, he wouldn't gain much benefit either. He would leave for now and come back on his own if he had the chance, to properly curry favor with this esteemed figure.

With their minds made up, both of them bid farewell to Jiang Ping.

"Young Master, I apologize for the intrusion. I had wanted to stay a few more days, but you've seen the condition of my brother, Little Hong. His mind is unstable, and I need to take him to find some accomplished experts to see if they can cure him," Zhen Yuanzi said, cupping his fists.

Jiang Ping looked at Hongyun sympathetically and chuckled, "Little Hong, don't give up on treatment. Come back to see me when you're better. We have some fate between us."

Hongyun was inwardly furious and forced a dry laugh, "Certainly, certainly. Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. We shall take our leave now."

"Alright, be safe," Jiang Ping said with a smile, waving his hand.

"Take care, Young Master," Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun said with smiles as they turned to leave.

Watching the two walk away, Jiang Ping leisurely returned to his small courtyard.

Not long after Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had left, Hongyun suddenly became extremely regretful.

What a pity, such a pity.

The orchard was full of fruit pits, and he had forgotten to pick them up.

Zhen Yuanzi mocked him, "Look at your ambition."

"Hmph, farewell. I'm ashamed to be associated with you!" Hongyun snorted coldly.

The two parted ways, heading in opposite directions.

A short distance away, a dark figure slowly appeared, its two emerald green eyes looking towards Jiang Ping's small courtyard.

A few breaths later, the dark figure gradually dispersed and flew towards the Heavenly Court.
