Before Wang Baole could finish his sentence, his eyes widened like everyone else's. He couldn't even stand properly and had to hold onto the altar beside him for support. His breathing was uneven, and his vision was blurry. That was especially so as his brain started to feel dizzy.
"It's poisonous?!"
Wang Baole wailed in his heart. His body shuddered, and suddenly, all the dizziness and blurry vision converged on his spirit. At this moment, his spirit let out a loud roar that no one else could hear.
Amidst this loud roar, his spirit expanded as if it had been stimulated. It was also as if it had been fed a great tonic. In the blink of an eye, it suddenly erupted as if it had been catalyzed.
Spirits below the Planet realm were originally formless and existed in the physical body. It was impossible to tell where exactly it was because it was everywhere. To a certain extent, the physical body was just a carrier for the spirit.
But now … as the fruit melted and absorbed, as his spirit erupted, Wang Baole suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if … he could sense his spirit. At the same time, this clone of his seemed … to be unable to support his spirit!
This was because his spirit had indeed been greatly nourished at this moment, causing it to almost break through in the blink of an eye. It had expanded so much that it had exceeded the limits of what his body could support.
This feeling was like wearing clothes that were originally very fitting but had shrunk by a size in an instant. Hence, the tight feeling made Wang Baole very uncomfortable. After a long while, he managed to stabilize himself and stopped holding onto the altar. Instead, he tried to raise his right hand …
But after the command to do so was given … although he instantly raised his right hand, Wang Baole felt that his body's reaction was a little slow. But he soon understood that it wasn't his body that was slow. It was his spirit that had become stronger, so his reaction speed had also increased.
"This fruit … is good stuff!" After understanding all this, Wang Baole was overjoyed. In fact, he knew very well that the success rate of advancing to the Planet realm seemed to have nothing to do with one's divine spirit. That was because there weren't many natural items in this world that could allow one's divine spirit to erupt at the Spirit Immortal level. In fact, there was a huge correlation between one's divine spirit and one's cultivation breaking through to the Planet realm.
It could be said that this fruit had increased his chances of making a breakthrough by more than half. As for its other uses, Wang Baole wasn't an apothecary, so he didn't know the details of the fruit.
But it didn't matter. Someone had told him!
The one who told him was the masked woman!
"This fruit is called the Soul Spiritual Fruit. It only grows in the Graveyard of Stars and is almost non-existent in the outside world. However, among the Never-Ending Wonder Fruits, this fruit is known as the number one supplementary item for a Spirit Immortal to break through to the Planet realm!"
"Although it's only used to enhance a cultivator's divine spirit and push it to the limit, in fact, it has another hidden effect. That is … the chances of fusing with Immortal Stars and even special stars will also be higher!"
After the masked woman spoke slowly, Wang Baole's body shook when he heard her words. Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up another fruit. As for the others, they obviously already knew about this, but they were still shocked at this moment.
The reason for their shock wasn't because of the masked woman's words, but because they had recovered from their previous shock. They went from being stunned to being in an uproar and disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
"He actually got it … Before this, only the Third Prince of the Never-Ending Clan had succeeded. This fruit … Damn it, why didn't the Emissary of the Graveyard of Stars stop him?!"
The uproar caused the silence on the ship to turn into an uproar. Most of the prodigies present stood up directly. When they looked at Wang Baole, the madness and jealousy in their eyes were extremely intense.
That was especially so when they saw Wang Baole pick up the second Soul Spirit Fruit and eat it in a few bites right in front of them. They could not control themselves and went into a frenzy.
"What a waste of a heavenly treasure. Xie Dalu, stop, this fruit can't be eaten directly …"
"For a cultivator, eating one of these Soul Spiritual Fruits is enough. Eating more is useless!" As the surrounding prodigies hurriedly spoke up, Wang Baole also noticed that the second fruit he ate had almost no effect. Even so, the fruit tasted really good. Hence, Wang Baole coughed and picked up a third fruit in front of everyone. This time, he ate slightly slower.
This scene caused everyone to go crazy, especially Li Linzi. At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot. He had never imagined that Meng Hao would actually be able to eat the fruit. However, he still felt that something was wrong.
"Could it be … could it be that the Emissary of the Graveyard of Stars won't stop me if I go over a second time?" Even though the thought seemed ridiculous to him, the desire in his heart made him clench his teeth and charge towards the altar where Wang Baole was at with a flick of his body.
There were three to five other people who also rushed over, and their thoughts were similar to Li Linzi's. They moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to step onto the altar when suddenly, the paper human cutout rowing the ship raised its right hand and waved. Instantly, the force that had stopped Wang Baole from approaching appeared again. It blocked everyone's path and pushed them fiercely.
Amidst the booming sounds, Li Linzi and the others shuddered violently and were sent flying backwards. One of them even had blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth due to the recoil. When the others saw these people being sent flying backwards, they gasped and recovered from their frenzied state a little.
"Eee? Who would have thought that there would actually be idiots here? Don't tell me you people don't know, Li Linzi. From ancient times until now, only two people have ever gotten a Soul Spiritual Fruit from the Graveyard of Stars. Don't tell me you think you're the third?" After eating the third fruit, Wang Baole reached for the fourth. Then, he disdainfully threw back at Li Linzi's words.
"You!" Said Li Linzi, an unsightly expression on his face. However, he seemed to be stubborn, as if he were confident that he would succeed if he tried a second time. Therefore, he once again shot toward the altar.
"You want to try again? Li Linzi, I really admire your courage. Keep it up! " With that, Wang Baole picked up a fifth fruit. This time, he didn't eat it, but rather, tossed it back and forth in the air, looking like he was asking for a beating. Then, he looked at Li Linzi, who was charging toward him. As he neared, the paper doll waved its hand to stop him, and he was sent tumbling backward.
This time, the paper doll seemed to be trying to punish him. It pushed him even harder, causing blood to spray out of his mouth as he tumbled backward. When he landed on the ground, he staggered a few paces, his face pale. However, when he looked at Wang Baole, both his expression and his eyes shone with intense resentment and frustration!
He was indeed aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. He had to admit that everyone was different … The others could tell that the Emissary of the Fallen Star Sect was obviously biased. Therefore, the scene of Wang Baole rowing the boat until he achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation when he first boarded the boat appeared in their minds again.
"Why?!?!?"
"This is too much!"
"He helped him achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation base and even helped him board the ship. He didn't even care that he killed someone and stole his spot. Now, he's the only one allowed to eat Soul Spiritual Fruits, and he seems to be eating them as he pleases … Could this Xie Dalu be the Son of Fallen Star?!"
The strong imbalance made everyone feel extremely helpless. They watched as Wang Baole ate the fifth fruit in his hand and picked up the sixth, looking as if he was going to finish all the fruits. They all forced themselves to calm down. As various thoughts ran through their minds, the masked woman, who had previously told them about the effects of the fruit, suddenly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, I'm willing to pay three million Red Crystals for one fruit.
"How much?" Wang Baole was just about to take a bite, but when he heard that, his eyes widened. He instantly opened his mouth, but he didn't continue to bite. Instead, he stared at the masked woman.
"Three million Red Crystals. This is the Xie Family's Red Crystal Card. As a member of the Xie Family, you should know that there are exactly three million Red Crystals in there!" As she spoke, the masked woman raised her right hand and took out a red jade token. She instantly threw it in the direction of Wang Baole.
When Wang Baole heard that, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to catch the jade token. Although he didn't recognize it, he had seen someone take out something similar in the Xie Family's marketplace. The only difference was that the amount was not so large.
Therefore, as his heart pounded with excitement, he looked at the fruit with teeth marks in his hand, then looked at the remaining one on the altar. Suddenly, his heart was filled with endless regret.
"Heavens, how many Red Crystals did I eat? Fifteen million Red Crystals?! I, I … I should have sold them earlier! "
