Fire Elemental Plane, Blazing Flame Monarch.
Grimm sat quietly in the secret chamber, quietly flipping through the Book of Darkness. From time to time, some incomplete words and damaged spell models would appear on the exquisite pages.
Every time this happened, Grimm's eyes would flash with a blue light, and he would forcefully memorize it and store it in the A.I. Chip's database.
After so many years of accumulation, the amount of information stored in his mind was uncountable. If not for the A.I. Chip silently organizing and summarizing everything, it would have been difficult for him to find treasures and high-grade knowledge from the tens of thousands of broken pieces of information.
However, just as he was tirelessly sacrificing his spiritual energy to exchange for the scattered knowledge in the Book of Darkness, a familiar ripple of spiritual energy lightly touched the Wizard's Pagoda's defences.
It was persistent and resolute, filled with the feeling that it would not stop until it reached its goal!
Grimm sighed, and finally opened up a gap in the defences.
The aura of Guman Reis's remnant soul spread in once more.
"Hey, kid, I've thought of something good!"
"Think … Lord Guman Reis, you've already thought of five or six good things. But if it's not in some dangerous place or a damaged plane, and if it's not a Red Dragon or a Divine Abomination … I can easily get my hands on any of them! " At this point, Grimm could not help but let out a cold grunt, "Tell me, why should I continue to trust you?"
"Kid, you have to understand this old man as well! My soul has been shattered, and I'm now so weak that I can't do anything. It's even difficult for me to recover my previous memories … "At the mention of this, Gmanreth's remnant soul was filled with complaints.
"Stop, stop, stop …" Grimm hurriedly cut it off, afraid that it would talk non-stop like before, as if it was the reincarnation of a talkative person. "If you have anything to say, just say it. If not, I'll be busy myself!"
"Don't, kid. I've really thought of something good this time, and it's something that you can use at your current level …"
"There's no ancient Red Dragon guarding the door?"
"No! I guarantee there isn't … "
"It's not in some dangerous place?"
"No! You're thinking too much. The Fire Elemental Plane doesn't have that many dangerous places … "
"Then tell me about it …"
"Have you heard of the Blissful Fruit?"
"Blissful Fruit?" Grimm hesitated for a moment. The A.I. Chip in his mind quickly searched through the information and found something. "Are you talking about the fruit of bliss that can stimulate one's spiritual force and cause hallucinations for a short period of time?"
"It's good that you know about it. That saves me the trouble of explaining it to you … Let me tell you, ordinary Bliss Fruits do have serious side effects, but the Bliss Fruits I'm telling you are improved and have the powerful effect of enhancing one's mental strength!"
"How's the effect?" Grim immediately perked up.
Right now, he didn't lack resources, treasures, materials, or knowledge. The only thing he lacked was time. He needed a long time to slowly meditate and accumulate, to slowly increase his spiritual power. As long as his Spiritual Power reached the required level, he would be able to advance to Level Six.
Therefore, when Grimm heard that Kieran had a way to quickly raise his spirit, he immediately paid attention.
"When I obtained these Bliss Fruits, I was already at the 8th rank. Its spiritual power increase was useless to me, and I only used it as a pastime. As for you … I estimate that a hundred will be enough for you to reach the 6th rank. "
"Really?!" Grimm's eyes were filled with shock, and he immediately asked impatiently.
"Where are the Bliss Fruits you mentioned? How many are there? How do I get them? "
"The Bliss Fruits require extremely harsh conditions to grow, so they naturally can't be placed in the fire elemental plane. Back when I was the Lord of the Flames, a powerhouse from another plane gave me a resource pocket dimension. There's a lot of them in there. After so many years, there should be a lot of stock in there! " However, Gumen Lys' remnant soul suddenly turned and said, "Kid, as long as you offer me a shard of divinity, I'll have the energy to open the resource pocket dimension and take out the Bliss Fruits. How about this, you'll be fine, I'll be fine, and everyone will be fine … "
"You mean that if I offer up a shard of divinity, you won't be able to give me anything?" Grimm hesitated, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
"Kid, there's a price to pay for everything. If you want the Bliss Fruits, you'll have to take a certain amount of risk. Moreover, I'm just a remnant soul, and if I want to recover, I'll need much more energy than you can imagine. A shard of divinity is far from enough … Do you think I'll spend so much effort just to cheat you of a shard of divinity? Hehe, it's not that I want to build a good relationship with you, but you want to get the level 6 Bliss Fruits with a mere shard of divinity? Hmph … "
Hearing the other party's bluff, Grimm could not help but be tempted.
If it was another wizard with only one or two shards of divinity, they would not dare to try it even if they were beaten to death. They would definitely not act without a reward, and they would insist on exchanging the goods at the same time.
However, Grimm still had six shards of divinity with him.
With such an ample purse, he had the confidence to give it a try!
After hesitating for a long time, Grimm finally offered up a shard of divinity on the altar in the Wizard's Pagoda. Previously, he had chosen the consciousness of the fire elemental plane, and this time, he had chosen the remnant soul of Gumen Lys.
As the World Altar swallowed the shard of divinity, the remnant soul that was hiding in an unknown place suddenly raised its neck and let out a long cry that would make one's imagination run wild.
"Stop shouting and quickly give me the item!" Grimm urged impatiently.
"What's the hurry? I'll give it to you right away!"
As a strange light and shadow fluctuated above the altar, a crack inexplicably appeared in the void, revealing a miniature resource secret realm. It was separated by an illusory screen of light, and it was difficult to see what was inside.
However, just as Grimm was bewildered, a small opening appeared in the screen of light, and a group of white specks of light poured out like raindrops. They landed on the altar and formed a small hill.
Soon after, the screen of light closed, and the void returned to normal. Everything disappeared without a trace!
Grimm silently observed the void, and it was the first time he experienced the wonders of the Void Secret Realm. After a long while, he lowered his head and observed the items he had traded.
They were white, translucent berries that were the size of a fist. They had thin skin and no seeds, and milky white flesh flowed within.
The moment they appeared, the entire area was filled with a strange fragrance that refreshed the mind.
Raising his nose to take a whiff, it was indeed refreshing!
"Kid, these are the fruits of bliss that you deserve. We're even now … "Gumen Lys' remnant soul gave him a simple explanation before swaggering off.
Grimm scanned them, and the A.I. Chip quickly came up with an accurate number.
Twenty!
Gumen Lys seemed to have said that eating a hundred would allow him to advance to rank 6. There were only twenty before him, and it was obvious that Gumen Lys was targeting his weakness. He wanted to use these fruits to swindle away all the shards in his possession.
Such thoughts were obvious, but Grimm did not mind.
To be honest, if he could use five shards to advance to rank 6 in a short period of time, it was a worthwhile trade.
Since Gumen Lys was so concerned about the shards, could they be of great help to his remnant soul?
Filled with endless daydreams, Grimm put away the fruits of bliss and returned to his residence.
In a secret room, Grimm impatiently pierced a fruit of bliss with his dagger and extracted the strange milky white flesh from within.
He would not completely trust that elusive remnant soul, and he would have to test it himself to see if it was effective. In any case, with the A.I. Chip, he would definitely be able to detect the effects of the fruit.
With the aid of an intricate alchemy laboratory and detection spell formation, Grimm quickly came up with an answer that made him extremely excited.
It was effective … It was really effective!
Gumen Lys' remnant soul had not lied. The fruit of bliss did indeed have the strange effect of stimulating the spiritual space, causing one's spiritual force to increase explosively. However, its powerful hallucinogenic effects were also very serious.
Even with Grimm's mental fortitude, it would probably take him more than a month to get rid of the hallucinogenic effects of the pill. From this, it could be deduced that Gumen Lys had used these fruits as a hallucinogen back then.
With the powerful spiritual force of high-ranked creatures, as well as the strict control they had over their own spiritual force, it was almost impossible for them to dream!
Hence, if he wanted to indulge himself, he could only rely on the powerful hallucinogenic 'poison fruit'!
After discovering that there were no problems with the fruit of bliss and that it was as effective as the remnant soul had said, Grimm did not hesitate and immediately swallowed one.
It had to be said that the might of a rank 6 hallucinogenic 'poison fruit' was indeed shocking. Once it entered his stomach, Grimm was immediately dragged into an illusory and realistic illusion by the terrifying effects.
This terrifying effect lasted for two days before Grimm was able to break free from the illusion with the A.I. Chip's stimulation and guidance. However, if the effects were to act up a second time, Grimm would probably be trapped for a longer period of time.
In order to resist the hallucinogenic effects, Grimm swallowed many potions that increased his spiritual resistance in one go. Only then did he rely on his own efforts to slowly expel the negative effects from the fruit of bliss.
It took Grimm a month and a half to expel the harmful effects from the first fruit of bliss. In this arduous and long struggle against the hallucinogenic effects, Grimm's spiritual force had increased by leaps and bounds.
