Lin Ke flew over to look and discovered that the lotus leaves were real, not illusions.
Looking back at the little girl, he saw her plucking the newly grown fruit and stuffing it into her mouth. That did not seem fake either.
Could such a miraculous thing actually exist?
The old Village Chief could no longer sit still at the sight either.
He had no idea whether sitting here did any good, but his lower back truly could not take any more.
"Everyone!"
"Come pick the fruit and harvest the lotus roots!"
"The immortal has bestowed his blessings!"
Lin Ke paid no attention to the mortals' cheers. His purpose in studying this Dragon Pearl was to increase his combat strength.
Now that this turned out to be its function, how was it supposed to strengthen him?
A growth-accelerating skill? Surely he could not put it into an Insect Formation to accelerate the growth of Spirit Insects?
Lin Ke looked at the pond. Apart from the lotus leaves...
There seemed to be no sign of the fish in the pond multiplying.
It appeared that this Flood Dragon's Dragon Pearl could only accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants and vegetation, not living creatures.
Otherwise, he would never have to worry about running out of Spirit Insects for his Insect Formation.
If that really were the case, he could wear down even a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator to death through wave after wave of attacks.
But now... perhaps he could attack with Mental Power, but if his opponent were an Illusionless Gu Sect cultivator carrying the Myriad Transformations Profound Nether Bell...
That would be another matter entirely.
The little girl rolled up her clothing into a pouch, holding more than a dozen bright red fruits inside.
She ran over to Lin Ke cheerfully.
