After transplanting the spirit fruit trees, Liu Changxu returned home and saw his mother, whom he had not seen for several days. Sensing that her aura had grown considerably stronger, he asked, "Mother, have you broken through to the eighth layer of Qi Refinement?"
His mother, Lin Yulian, said excitedly, "Yes! I just broke through. I've finally caught up with you."
"Congratulations on reaching the eighth layer of Qi Refinement, Mother!" Liu Changxu said happily.
As he spoke, Liu Changxu took two jade boxes from his Storage Bag and placed them before his mother.
Lin Yulian was delighted. My son is so filial-he always keeps his mother in his heart. Let's see what lovely things he brought me.
She opened one jade box, revealing six thumb-sized spirit fruits, as beautiful and translucent as sapphires. An unusual fragrance wafted into her nose and mouth.
"Are these Blue Crystal Fruits?"
Liu Changxu nodded in reply.
"These are very rare spirit fruits. My son certainly has good luck!"
As she spoke, she opened the other jade box. Before she had fully lifted the lid, a refreshing fruit fragrance filled the air.
Joy welled up in Lin Yulian's heart as three spirit fruits, as vivid and luscious as rubies, came into view.
"Second-tier lower-grade Bodhi Fruits?"
His mother, Lin Yulian, immediately exclaimed in astonishment.
"Yes, Mother! They just haven't fully ripened yet," Liu Changxu replied.
Lin Yulian hurriedly closed the jade box again and put it into her Storage Bag. She had to honor her son's filial gesture.
Then Lin Yulian took her son's hand and asked, "How did you obtain such precious spirit fruits?"
Liu Changxu briefly recounted to his mother what had happened over the past few days.
Listening to her son's account, Lin Yulian felt that he had truly grown up.
