Chapter 160 (continued)
Jiang Yuqing watched intently, generously pulling out Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill without the slightest hesitation.
[Shock Points from Niu Da +5 points.]
[Shock Points from Niu Er +5 points.]
Jiang Yuqing remained unfazed by the Shock Points displayed by Little Ox's family.
He was filled with wonder what these Sand Fruit seeds could grow into!
Finally, the first Sand Fruit Tree ripened in the Little Ox family's backyard.
The Sand Fruit Tree is surprisingly small.
Like the Sand Fruit Clan, this Sand Fruit Tree is only one meter tall, but its trunk is quite thick, with an estimated diameter of 15 centimeters.
Its most distinctive feature is its branches, which are twisted and gnarled like dragon claw locust trees, with small, snow-white fruits hanging on them.
The Little Ox swallowed hard. "This fruit smells so good!"
Jiang Yuqing were also quite surprised. "Wow, what a rich fruity aroma!"
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
This was also the first time Li Yang had ever seen Sand Fruit. This fruit was not like the Sand Fruit with the same name that Li Yang had in her previous life, but rather looked more like a large cherry.
On the tree trunk, which resembled dragon claws, were clusters of two snow-white fruits.
They are about the size of a pigeon egg, and their shape and outline are very similar to cherries, only the color is different.
The small Sand Fruit are snow-white, very translucent, and you can even faintly see the pit inside.
The pit is a warm yellow color; at first glance, it looks like the yellow wick inside a small white lantern.
As expected of a purified Star Plant, it looks incredibly cute.
However, this Star Plant doesn't seem to have any offensive capabilities, but it does possess defensive power at the Fifth Grade level.
Li Yang used a large amount of Power of Starlight to ripen it, so this Sand Fruit is a solid Fifth Grade Realm.
However, the amount of Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill required was simply too much.
Normal planting certainly can't be done like this; even Jiang Yuqing couldn't withstand such a huge drain.
A thought suddenly occurred to Li Yang.
Harvest, harvest...
If you only harvest the Sand Fruit, will the Sand Fruit Tree still survive?
Li Yang unleashed the Scythe of Ice, precisely harvesting the Sand Fruit hanging from the tree.
[Lifespan +20 years.]
[Lifespan +20 years.]
[Lifespan +20 years.]
More than 20 messages appeared consecutively on the system panel!
Li Yang looked at the small Sand Fruit that had fallen to the ground; sure enough, there were more than 20 bunches!
It really is possible to gain lifespan simply by harvesting Sand Fruit!
This adds up to a considerable amount of lifespan.
Even if a tree only bears 20 or so bunches of small Sand Fruit, it still provides Li Yang with a lifespan of over 400 years.
If 10,000 plants could be planted, wouldn't Li Yang be able to reap a lifespan of over 4 million years?
Li Yang's heart was pounding, her mind filled with thoughts of—she'd struck it rich!
Seeing her expression, Jiang Yuqing was incredibly curious and kept asking, "How was it? How was it?"
He doesn't understand!
All he saw Li Yang swing his sickle down, and countless snow-white Sand Fruit tumbled down.
The scene was quite beautiful, but... what exactly surprised Li Yang so much?
Li Yang cleared her throat; of course, she couldn't talk to him about lifespan.
She picked up a Sand Fruit and asked Sister Longevity directly, "I want to know its purpose."
"Do you want to consume 400 years of your lifespan to perform this query?"
Li Yang was speechless. She had just reaped the rewards for over 400 years, and Sister Longevity had precisely targeted her.
"Consumable!"
[You have spent 400 years of your lifespan conducting meticulous analysis and research on the white Sand Fruit, and have finally obtained a detailed report, which is as follows...]
Suddenly, a detailed report appeared before Li Yang's eyes.
In that instant, it was as if she had truly been studying the fruit in some other space for 400 years, which was why she was able to give such a detailed report.
Sand Fruit are edible, but it is not recommended to eat them if your cultivation level is below the Third Grade Realm, because the Power of Starlight they contain is too abundant and may burst your Star Aperture.
Executors at the Third Grade Realm or above can slowly recover their Power of Starlight after consuming Sand Fruit.
Although the recovery speed is much slower than that of the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill, it can last for a whole day and can be used in combination with pills like the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill.
Small fruit, big results; Li Yang thinks he can make a profit just by selling Sand Fruit!
She first told Jiang Yuqing about the effects of eating Sand Fruit.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
He exclaimed excitedly, "What else? What else?"
Li Yang knew he wanted to generate Shock Points, so she didn't hide anything from him and told him step by step.
Sand Fruit is undoubtedly a high-quality material for alchemy. If it is used to refine Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill, the effect would probably be doubled.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
The pit of the Sand Fruit is exceptionally hard, and because of its small size, it is well-suited for being crafted into unique concealed weapons.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
These are just appetizers; the real main course is only just being served.
Among the pile of Sand Fruit, one was a completely different color from the others.
These Sand Fruit were all the same color when they were hanging on the tree.
The moment Li Yang harvested it, it seemed as if a force surged from the tree trunk and rushed onto the Sand Fruit, turning it a deeper yellowish-brown.
Li Yang knocked it open, and a Star Core fell out.
Jiang Yuqing: "!!!"
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
He wouldn't be so surprised if it were just a single Star Core falling, since Blue Crystal Soil has this characteristic.
However, the effect of Blue Crystal Soil is that it can only drop ice-type Star Core.
With Jiang Yuqing's current mental strength, he could see through the differences in this Star Core at a glance.
The ice-type Star Core emanates a chilling aura; anyone whose spiritual energy touches it will feel its biting coldness.
However, the Star Core in Li Yang's hand did not emit cold air; instead, a faint yellow halo was emanating from it.
Jiang Yuqing: "This, this is..."
Li Yang was also quite surprised. She hadn't expected Jiang Yuqing's mental strength to be so high, that he could see through her at a glance.
If one's mental strength is insufficient, the Star Core in front of them will still appear as a red Star Core, and it will be difficult to see the yellow halo.
[Shock Points from Li Yang +1 point.]
Jiang Yuqing hadn't seen any Shock Points in a long time, and couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
Li Yang avoided the Little Ox family and said to Jiang Yuqing in his Spirit Sea, "This is another effect of Deep Star Water; it gives Star Plant a chance to drop earth-type Star Core."
Jiang Yuqing gasped. Even though he had suspected it beforehand, he was still deeply shocked when he saw it for himself.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
He stammered, "You... you've discovered another batch of Blue Crystal Soil!"
Jiang Yuqing shook her head again and said, "No, these two can be used together, so the drop rate..."
Li Yang picked up another white Sand Fruit.
Jiang Yuqing looked closely and quickly noticed the difference.
The color of the Sand Fruit didn't change much; only by using one's spiritual power could one sense the faint chill emanating from it.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
After Li Yang broke it open, a red ice-type Star Core indeed fell out!
Two Star Core on one tree, that drop rate is... way too high!
Moreover, this Sand Fruit Tree is different from the Jade Peach Tree. The former can yield fruit multiple times. Although we don't know exactly how many times it can be harvested, even just one more harvest would be very productive!
However, Jiang Yuqing's shock was yet to come!
Li Yang picked out another Sand Fruit. The color of this one hadn't changed much, but if you looked closely, you could faintly see a pale yellow hue.
Jiang Yuqing was stunned. "This... this..."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
After breaking it open, Li Yang said, "This is a dual-elemental Star Core of ice and earth."
Although this Star Core is of purple quality, it may be more valuable than a red Star Core because it has two attributes.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
He felt his legs were so weak he could barely stand.
Jiang Yuqing had long anticipated a massive wave of Shock Points, but he never expected that the shock Li Yang brought him would still far exceed his imagination.
Li Yang stared at the dual-element Star Core in her hand, quite curious about its attributes.
With no one else around, she directly used her lifespan to appraise it.
Star Skill Name: Earth Dragon of Ice.
Star Skill Grade: Fourth Grade.
Star Skill Description: After use, it can condense the Power of Starlight into an ice dragon. This ice dragon has a natural affinity for soil and can quickly travel through the soil. The farther it travels, the more Power of Starlight it consumes.
Li Yang: "!"
Although the name of the Star Skill is old-fashioned, its effect is quite good.
Ice dragons were also found in the previous ice-type Star Core. Ice dragons have a strong slowing effect. Once they hit an enemy, they can not only deal damage, but also stun them and slow down their movements.
Now, this Earth Dragon of Ice also has the ability to traverse through the earth, making it even more powerful in actual combat and impossible for enemies to defend against!
Li Yang couldn't help but wonder, could there be Earth Scythe of Ice?
The name may be unpleasant, but if her Scythe of Ice has such an effect, then harvesting will be much more efficient!
Jiang Yuqing asked, "What are the effects of this Star Skill?"
Li Yang explained it to him.
Jiang Yuqing couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing, absolutely amazing!"
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
Li Yang put away the Earth Dragon of Ice and looked at the Earth Star Core.
She murmured softly, "I wonder... if I can unlock the racial talent of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain."
Jiang Yuqing gasped, asking, "That Earth Escape Technique?!"
Li Yang nodded.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
