Why didn’t it absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi?
Great Immortal Zhenyuan stroked his beard and smiled.
“This Ginseng Fruit Tree of mine is a Chaos Variant. It may seem like it is planted in this courtyard, but its roots penetrate the chaos, relying on the absorption of Chaotic Qi to form Ginseng Fruits.”
“Otherwise, this mere blessed land of mine cannot support the growth of the Ginseng Fruit Tree!”
Upon hearing this explanation.
Xuanqing had an epiphany.
No wonder he accelerated the Ginseng Fruit Tree twice, and there was no sign of any spiritual energy fluctuation around him. As it turns out, this tree doesn’t absorb energy from its surroundings at all.
“Young friend Xuanqing, as before, you can take these thirty Ginseng Fruits! ”
In a wave of his hand.
The Ginseng Fruits that just grew on the tree fell, just like before, floating towards Xuanqing.
This time.
Xuanqing only accepted fifteen.
“Please rake back these Ginseng Fruits, Superior Immortal, or my heart will not be at ease.” Xuanqing slightly bowed, speaking sincerely.
But Great Immortal Zhenyuan didn’t take back the fruits. Instead, he asked, “Young friend, can you still use your divine power?”
“I can use it!’1
“Good, then I’ll accept them. You may continue.”
Following that.
Under the extremely astonished eyes of Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
One round… two rounds… three rounds… five rounds… ten rounds….
A total of three hundred newly grown Ginseng Fruits were hanging on the tree like numerous stars.
However.
Xuanqings actions were not yet finished.
“Accelerate nine thousand years!”
[Ding! “9OOOO ingots]
“Accelerate nine thousand years!”
[Ding! “90000 ingots]
The number of Ginseng Fruits on the tree kept growing.
From the original three hundred… three hundred and thirty… three hundred and sixty… four hundred and eighty… six hundred… six hundred and thirty! “Alright, alright, that’s enough.” Zhen Yuanzi’s voice trembled slightly, “Young friend Xuanqing, quickly put away your divine power!”
He could already sense.
The Chaos Space where the roots of his Ginseng Fruit Tree resided had started to crack, evidently unable to bear such consecutive absorption.
If ir continued, then rhe Chaos Space might shatter, causing the Ginseng Fruit Tree s roots to dissipate along with ir.
“Alright, 1 will stop now!”
Looking at the newly grown six hundred and thirty Ginseng Fruits on the tree.
Xuanqing felt extremely fulfilled.
Adding up the previous two accelerations, there were a total of twenty-three, leaving him with less than two hundred thousand ingots.
“Great Immortal… should we still split these fruits two to three?” Xuanqing asked, focusing his voice.
“What two to three, I’m keeping a hundred to satisfy my craving, and you can take all the rest!”
Great Immortal Zhenyuan waved his hand.
Compared to the upgrade of his Ginseng Fruit Tree, these hundreds of Ginseng Fruits were of no consequence. He was merely keeping one hundred fruits to satisfy his taste buds.
“But…”
Seeing that Xuanqing was about to say something.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan directly interrupted him, firmly saying, “As rhe ancestor of the Earth Immortals, 1 must not take advantage of a junior!” “Do you understand that after your performance, how much enhancement my Ginseng Fruit Tree has received?”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing shook his head in confusion.
With his current level of cultivation, apart from being able to see more than six hundred new fruits on the tree, he knew nothing else.
“Living beings receive life easily, but overcoming tribulations is difficult. After this experience, this Ginseng Fruit Tree has gained a free two million years’ worth of cultivation.”
Zhen Yuanzi spoke with emotion.
Even for him, two million years is a vast number, equivalent to fifteen convention years.
It’s worth mentioning that,
In this world, one convention consists of twelve sessions, each session has thirty rounds, each round has twelve cycles, and each cycle lasts thirty years.
So one convention year equates to one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.
“Speaking of which, the improvement of the Ginseng Fruit Tree also significantly enhanced my Longevity Mountain due to the chaotic Qi emanating from it, raising the rank of this blessed land significantly,” Zhen Yuanzi pointed around with his duster.
Xuanqing was startled.
He closed his eyes, experiencing the changes around him.
Indeed.
Compared to when he just arrived, the density of spiritual Qi in Wuzhuang Temple has increased by more than double.
“The spiritual Qi has indeed increased, but 1 have a doubt. If the increased spiritual Qi is absorbed and cultivated, won’t it return to its previous state?” Xuanqing asked solemnly.
He recalled the event six years ago when Guanyin s Jade Dew, which contained Innate Energy, had erupted in Black Wind Town, causing it to briefly reach the level of a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
However, in less than a month, that spiritual Qi slowly dissipated, merging with the surrounding environment.
“Hahahaha-”
Laughing heartily, Zhen Yuanzi explained, “The increase in the spiritual Qi of this land is due to the Chaotic Qi which changed the land’s rank itself. It won’t just disappear like you’re thinking.”
After this explanation,
Xuanqing finally understood the reason.
It’s actually quite simple.
The eruption of Innate Energy in Black Wind Town was an external factor, which disappeared once depleted.
But the enhancement of Longevity Mountain was due to the nourishment of Chaotic Qi, which led to an evolution, increasing its maximum limit.
Then,
Zhen Yuanzi began picking the fruits.
With a wave of his duster, the starlike fruits on the tree were all drawn down, leaving only a hundred still hanging.
“Young friend Xuanqing, you can take these fruits!”
“In the future, once the chaos where the Ginseng Fruit’s roots reside is repaired, you can come and use your divine power again.”
In response to this,
Xuanqing no longer refused and put all the floating Ginseng Fruits into his Game Backpack.
“Thank you for your kindness, Great Immortal, 1 won’t disturb you any longer.” “Oh, don’t rush, young friend.”
Zhen Yuanzi was in high spirits. Seeing his young friend didn’t want to leave in such a hurry made him feel pleased.
“I plan to choose an auspicious day to give a Dao preaching and hold a Ginseng Fruit Banquet. If you’re not in a hurry, you might as well stay.”
“At that time, you may have the chance to consume the Ginseng Spirit Fruit.
Sense the Great Dao, and achieve the status of an Immeasurable Immortal!”
Upon hearing this,
“Thank you, Great Immortal. 1 will gladly follow your advice!1’ Xuanqing was overjoyed, and quickly raised his hand in a swearing gesture, deeply kowtowing.
No matter whether Zhen Yuanzi invited him in this way because of his good mood, or he wanted to promote his junior, he still owed him this favor anyway. Of course.
He was willing to owe this favor.
Because in interpersonal relationships, building a good relationship is not just about making the other person owe you. Sometimes, owing someone else is a good way to establish a relationship, and sometimes it s even better.
And so,
Xuanqing temporarily stayed in Wuzhuang Temple.
The so-called auspicious day was not about picking a good day randomly. For an existence like Zhen Yuanzi, any day could be considered a good day.
The reason for doing so was merely to delay time.
Sending out invitations requires time, and others also need time to come.
Finally.
Half a month later.
The Dao preaching and Ginseng Fruit Banquet held by Zhen Yuanzi was about
