Chapter 35: Golden Spirit Fruit

  Shen Xiang was increasingly eager to visit those sects, but in those sects, even ordinary warriors at the 8th or 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm were only outer disciples, which showed just how great the competitive pressure within those sects was, let alone the Taiwu Sect.

  "The conditions of Taiwu Gate are really harsh, can I become a true disciple?" Shen Xiang muttered to himself.

  "Of course, you are the one with the Yin-Yang Spiritual Pulse, and our Shifu has personally taught you. As long as you're willing to work hard, you will definitely become a powerful figure in the future." Bai YuYu said resolutely, she had great confidence in Shen Xiang.

  Shen Xiang waited for a moment, and Hua Yueyun returned. She had changed into a purple dress, without the previous subtle temptation, which made Shen Xiang feel somewhat disappointed.

  "This is what you wanted and the spirit money!" Huayue Yun placed the spirit money ticket and some paper packages wrapped with medicinal materials on the table.

  Shen Xiang didn't even nod, and directly put it into the storage bag. He still trusted Huayue Yun very much, which also made Huayue Yun secretly happy in her heart.

  "Are you still going to participate in the Wangcheng Martial Arts Conference? The Nanwu Kingdom is indeed within the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Gate." Huayue Yun asked, looking concerned about Shen Xiang.

  Shen Xiang thought for a moment and said: "I'll participate, but I won't join the Zhen Wu Men. I'm only going for that Zhen Yuan Dan!"

  Watching Shen Xiang leave, Hua Yueyun shook her head and sighed softly, with a sense of loss in her beautiful eyes. In the past, she could make this naive young man obey her with just a few words, but now she not only said a lot, but also dressed very attractively, yet still failed to move Shen Xiang.

  Shen Xiang sold the thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Ganoderma for 400,000 Grand Spirit Coins, then used 100,000 Grand Spirit Coins to buy a large batch of matured spirit medicine. Among these medicines, the most precious one was the pit of the Golden Spirit Fruit!

  Jīn líng guǒ is a top-grade spiritual fruit, as precious as qiān yè guǒ. It's said that it only bears fruit once every thousand years. Both its pulp and skin are extremely useful, especially when added to the refining of high-grade elixirs. Not only can they increase the quality of the elixir, but also raise the chances of successful condensation.

  Shen Xiang is now buying the Golden Spirit Fruit pit to plant the Golden Spirit Fruit. The fruit pit was originally used for alchemy, and no one had ever thought of growing a tree from it, because it would take an extremely long time. Even if it were planted, they would have to wait a thousand years for it to bear fruit once.

  But this is nothing for Shen Xiang, he has accumulated a lot of dragon spittle in these days, and with continuous watering, he can soon grow the Golden Spirit Fruit tree.

  Shen Xiang buried the seed in the small courtyard, then took out a jade bottle filled with dragon spittle. Since he was only cultivating one seed, there was no need to dilute it with water, so he directly dripped it into the soil where the Golden Spirit Fruit pit was buried.

  Just a drop, a large amount of spiritual energy suddenly surged in, seeping into the soil, and saw a tender bud emerging, Shen Xiang seeing this was effective, continued to carefully drip the dragon's saliva.

  Every drop that falls will bring a large amount of spiritual energy surging in, and the spiritual energy hidden underground also rushes into the golden spirit fruit. The dragon's spittle itself contains rich life force, and now it can make the small tree absorb a lot of spiritual energy to accelerate its growth.

  Shen Xiang only now understood why Su Mei Yao had always been reminding him, telling him not to leak out the news of Long Yan's matter, otherwise it would be very troublesome. Now he deeply felt the severity of this heavenly art, his heart was excited and restless, as long as he was given time, even a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine wouldn't be a difficult task for him!

  After finishing a whole bottle of dragon's saliva, the golden spirit fruit pit had turned into a small tree as tall as a person, and this was only after using it for less than half a day!

  "Alas, it's still inconclusive!" Shen Xiang said discontentedly.

  Su Mei Yao hummed softly: "You should be content, if it were under normal circumstances, at least five hundred years would be needed to grow like this. You'd need to collect a month's worth of dragon spittle just to get this tree to bear fruit."

  As long as the result is achieved, Shen Xiang will have several Golden Spirit Fruits. At that time, announcing nationwide and using the Golden Spirit Fruit as a reward to recruit alchemists would be an easy task. It's possible that a group of alchemists will even rush to join in droves.

  "Little one, you should start collecting the medicinal materials for the Lian Zhu Ji Dan now. Although you have the Yin Yang Spiritual Pulse and the Cultivation Divine Technique, entering the True Martial Realm won't be a problem, but if you want to progress quickly and stably, the elixir is necessary!" Bai Youyou said.

  Zhū jī dān, a lower-grade elixir of the Xuan level, is mainly used to stabilize the foundation, strengthen the physical body, and enhance the purity of true energy. Taking it before entering the True Martial Realm will make it easier to advance to that realm.

  Shen Xiang pouted and said, "I can only refine ordinary middle-grade pills now. That's a mysterious grade pill! Even when I broke through to the Mortal Martial Realm, I'm afraid I still didn't have the ability to refine it!"

  "Ignorant little demon, as long as you can refine a high-grade spiritual pill, you can refine a foundation-establishing pill! The foundation-establishing pill is only classified as mysterious grade because of the rarity of its medicinal materials, but its refining difficulty isn't great." Bai Youyou coldly snorted.

  Shen Xiang now has Qian Guo and Qian Nian Beast Dan, only lacking three rare spiritual medicines to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. With his Dragon Saliva Technique, as long as he has seeds, he can infinitely cultivate spiritual medicines. Later on, no matter how many Foundation Establishment Pills he wants, it won't be a problem. This is something that can sell for a lot of Spiritual Money!

  Thinking of this, Shen Xiang was excited, of course, for now he still needs to improve his strength, the stronger his strength, the better the catalytic ability of Longyan Gong, and refining high-grade Dan also requires a good flame.

  At night, Shen Xiang disguised himself and left the royal city, coming to a distant mountain forest outside the city. The true energy here is more dense, which can speed up his cultivation.

  Shen Xiang possessed the Yin-Yang Spiritual Pulse, and with just a blink of his eyes, he could feel the dense spiritual energy within tens of miles around him. As soon as he activated the Taiji Divine Technique, these spiritual energies immediately surged into his body, then were refined into the Five Elements True Energy, compressed and stored in the five positions within his Dantian...

  The sky was still dark, but Shen Xiang had already woken up. He practiced in a place with dense spiritual energy, which not only allowed him to cultivate more true energy, but also condensed more dragon crystal. This was also the reason he came to the suburbs.

  The majestic Shen Xiang, involuntarily started practicing his fist in the mountain forest. In the dimly lit woods, only green and red lights crisscrossed, constantly flashing out, transforming into tiger heads, rumbling through the air with a deafening crash. Each punch's power stirred up a gust of wild wind, and the mud on the ground rolled back like waves. When his fists hit the trees, they emitted bursts of explosive sounds, capable of blasting apart trees that two people could barely wrap their arms around.

  "This is the top-notch martial art 'Tianhu Bao Sha Quan', Shen Xiang has the Four Symbol God Technique, but his current level can only learn some simple techniques inside, although the power is not bad, it's not enough to use."

  Only when familiar with the display of martial skills, can one be in control during battle, freely releasing and retracting. Shen Xiang now feels the thrill of thick true energy being released from his body, and through his martial skills, transforms it into a powerful and ingenious force that blasts out, making him feel extremely comfortable.

  Looking at the trees that were blasted apart by him, looking at the pits on the ground that were punched out of thin air, Shen Xiang secretly sighed in his heart. He was only a sixth-level Mortal Martial Realm cultivator, yet he possessed such strength. Ordinary people were like ants in his eyes, and even those of the same level as him found it difficult to withstand his fierce "Tianhu Burst Killing Fist".

  "If I enter the True Martial Realm, how much stronger will my power be?" Shen Xiang thought of this and his heart couldn't help but surge with an inexplicable excitement. He increasingly yearned for powerful strength, which made him suddenly filled with fighting spirit.
