Shen Luo sneered inwardly and immediately followed the Mirage Monster. The Restriction-Breaking Formation left outside promptly disintegrated, its flags and formation plates turning into streaks of light that followed him and vanished into his sleeve.
He sped forward with all his strength and flew out of the passage in the blink of an eye. The lush Ginkgo Divine Tree stood right before him, rich spiritual energy washing over his face. It carried a strange medicinal fragrance that rivaled even the Ginseng Fruit of Wuzhuang Temple.
The Mirage Monster had already darted to a spot on the Ginkgo Divine Tree where a spirit fruit gleaming with golden light grew at the tip of a branch. It was a Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, and he swept his hand out, sending a stream of blue light to envelop it.
Seeing this, Shen Luo also set his sights on another nearby Ginkgo Spirit Fruit. Moon Shadow light blazed beneath his feet, and brilliant starlight appeared along his legs. With a flicker, he crossed twenty to thirty zhang and appeared beside the fruit.
He raised his hand and released a stream of blue light, plucked the spirit fruit, and swiftly placed it inside a green jade box. Numerous branchlike spirit patterns were engraved on the box, which was clearly no ordinary object.
The Ginkgo Spirit Fruit was not yet fully ripe. Once removed from the Ginkgo Divine Tree, its spiritual energy would slowly dissipate, so it had to be stored in a special container. This jade box was a specially made container from the Divine Wood Forest that he had obtained from Wuman'er. Its surface was engraved with the Wood Spirit Sacred Runes passed down through generations in the Divine Wood Forest, which stabilized spiritual energy and made it ideal for storing spirit fruits and flowers.
