At that moment, in a quiet room in a villa on Giant Island, Xia Ping was cultivating in seclusion. He had no idea that his affairs had stirred up so much commotion outside.
For Xia Ping, the most important thing now was improving his martial cultivation.
Money and fame were merely worldly possessions. What mattered most was his own strength.
Once he grew strong enough, fame and treasure would come flocking to him.
Just then, Xia Ping gently waved his hand and took out the Silver Fruits and Purple Blood Ginseng he had obtained from the Shark Demon King's treasury, placing them in front of him. The air filled with the rich fragrance of spiritual medicine, lifting his spirits.
Ordinary people who smelled such a potent medicinal fragrance would find their illnesses driven away and their lives prolonged.
"I wonder what effect this Silver Fruit, which takes ten years to flower, ten years to bear fruit, and ten years to ripen, will have?" Xia Ping picked up a fruit and ate it.
The Silver Fruit melted as soon as it entered his mouth; he didn't even need to chew. It seemed to turn into silvery liquid that flowed down his throat, through his stomach and intestines, and deep into his body.
Boom!
Xia Ping immediately sensed the fruit being refined by the astral energy within him. It transformed into an extremely cool current that flowed through the countless meridians in his body.
This spiritual fruit had absorbed the energy of the deep sea and taken a full thirty years to ripen. One could imagine how potent the medicine within it was. It could add several years' worth of cultivation to a Grandmaster.
It also contained yin energy that nourished the body, repairing the minute damage caused by battle and cultivation.
