One Wasn't Enough to Get a Taste, So I'll Have Another
"Certainly."
The system voice sounded, then changed the subject:
"No."
"You humans all have a habit of hoarding things. The seeds of this Supreme-Grade Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit cannot be grown in your world, yet some people collect them specifically, probably waiting for an opportunity to cultivate them in the future, so..."
Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile:
"So, you just brought it over, right?"
The system paused for a moment, then corrected itself:
"Based on my comprehensive assessment, these seeds have a higher probability of being successfully planted if stored with the owner."
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.
The system's analysis seems quite reasonable!
It's truly an Eager to Help Others -friendly system.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi began to examine the description of the Supreme-Grade Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
It is indeed quite different from the ordinary Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
Simply put, a cultivator in the state of an old man might be able to return to the cultivation state of a middle-aged man by eating more Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit, but the upper limit would be about the same.
The Supreme-Grade Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit, however, requires an even greater step.
Back to being a kid!
If we use a hundred to symbolize lifespan, then it ranges from eighty to eighteen.
"If I eat more of the best quality ones, I wonder if I can return to the state of cultivation I had when I first came out of the furnace."
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.
However, he did not continue to devote himself to this.
According to the system, given their current situation, even ordinary Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit wouldn't be enough.
Not to mention, the Supreme-Grade Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit requires other conditions to grow.
"However, this at least achieved a certain degree of freedom in Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit."
With a thought, a Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit appeared in Lu Changzhi's hand.
Just as he was about to eat, Lu Changzhi remembered something.
Then, he got up and went into the Trial Formation Stele.
Now, after so many days.
Qi Zhan showed little reaction to Lu Changzhi's entry, remaining as quiet as a piece of wood.
He realized that the more he resisted and struggled, the more excited the kid seemed to become.
That's not a big deal, the problem is, this kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
So I gave up resisting and let them toy with me.
After all, it was torture, but at least it didn't seem like he wanted to end his own life.
Be patient and wait for an opportunity.
When the time is right, I'll see how I turn the tables and sing my heart out!
"Look."
Lu Changzhi approached Qi Zhan, flipped his hand, and the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit appeared in his palm.
Qi Zhan glanced at it, his eyes flickering slightly, but he said nothing.
This trick has already been used; it can no longer harm you.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi raised his hand and put the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit into his mouth.
"You!"
Qi Zhan finally couldn't help but speak.
They actually ate it!
I've painstakingly raised them for so many years, but they never got to eat them.
This kid just stole it and is even eating it right in front of me!
This is intolerable!
Lu Changzhi wasn't paying attention to Qi Zhan's reaction; at this moment, he closed his eyes and carefully savored the taste of the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
Well, how should I put it?
Leaving aside the effects and benefits of the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
It is indeed a delicious fruit.
Um.
Tasty.
On the other side, sensing the fluctuations in Lu Changzhi's aura, Qi Zhan was already certain.
This kid really ate it!
Besides anger, there was also a sense of despair.
But soon, a cold smile appeared on his face:
"He's still just a kid, wasting such a precious thing! Eating it so early on, you'll regret it when you need it later!"
Back then, in order to find a way to cultivate this Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit, he consulted countless ancient books and put in a great deal of effort, knowing full well how precious this thing was.
It is almost unparalleled in the world.
And when you actually need it, finding it becomes incredibly difficult...
After some self-reflection, Qi Zhan felt somewhat more at ease.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi clicked his tongue.
"No wonder you value this fruit so much; it tastes quite good."
"It's a pity there's so little."
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhan snorted coldly:
"Kid, wait until you realize its value..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Changzhi flipped his hand.
In the palm of his hand lay yet another Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
At the same time, Lu Changzhi murmured:
"One doesn't taste like anything, let's have another one."
Qi Zhan abruptly stopped speaking, then his voice rose five octaves:
"Impossible!"
"Boy, are you trying to fool me with illusions?!"
You've already eaten it, how could there still be any left!
Lu Changzhi glanced at Qi Zhan:
"You've been cultivating the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit for most of your life, don't you know whether it's real or not?"
One sentence immediately silenced Qi Zhan.
Right now, both his senses and his intuition are telling him this.
This is absolutely true!
This kid actually has a second one!
At this moment, Lu Changzhi and made a single stroke.
Instantly, the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit was split in two and presented before Qi Zhan.
"Look how tempting this fruit looks."
"And this juice is truly plentiful."
Lu Changzhi enthusiastically helped Qi Zhan feast his eyes.
Qi Zhan, the victim... no, the beneficiary, stared intently at the fruit, his eyelids seemingly disappearing.
His chest heaved violently, like a giant bellows, his breathing rapid and forceful.
Although it has no physical body, it retains the same characteristics when it gets excited.
A drop of juice slid off the fruit, streaking across the sky under Qi Zhan's gaze, before landing on the ground with a soft plop.
Qi Zhan's entire soul trembled violently, almost to the point of madness.
How could you have a second one!
Qi Zhan spoke with difficulty, his gaze fixed on the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
Lu Changzhi put the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit into his mouth, and while eating it, he said:
"Oh, this."
"I was lucky; I found it on the roadside."
His words were full of casualness and indifference.
This time, Qi Zhan completely lost his composure.
Hearing the system notification in his ear, Lu Changzhi had a thought and exited the Trial Formation Stele.
Seeing Qi Zhan's menacing appearance, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but wonder if the other party would jump up and bite him if he stayed any longer.
"However, it's becoming increasingly difficult to gain Luck Points."
Leaving the Trial Formation Stele, Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly.
You can obtain it by sparring with Qi Zhan using the Imperial Dragon Soul-Suppressing Bell- Suppressing Bell at the beginning.
Later on, it became less effective.
As a result, the timeframe deviated somewhat from the expected one.
"However, even if it's slower, it won't make a difference of more than a few seconds."
Lu Changzhi glanced at the system and said softly.
I just don't know what this so-called opportunity related to me will be.
Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi didn't continue thinking about it.
Now that fruit isn't so scarce, it's time to get some for our ancestors.
Like our Old Ancestor Gu, so much time has passed, yet he still hasn't taken that final half-step.
Clearly, it only increases lifespan, but aptitude is obviously not affected as a result.
Right now, it's just right.
After drinking the Life Spirit Spring and eating the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit, let our ancestors truly strive for another few thousand years!
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in Lu Changzhi's ears again:
"Greetings, Your Excellency. There is new information regarding a potential opportunity for your esteemed companion, Qin Jiuxiao. Would you like to view it?"
