Melaleuca Japonica was a bit surprised and said, "Eagle Fruit is precious, but it can still be found. You can find it in the Baicao Tang Medicine Hall on the mountain and in the many spiritual material shops in Kunwu City at the foot of the mountain. You don't need my help."
Su Qingjun smiled and seemed a bit embarrassed. She said, "Martial Uncle, my master means that I like freshly picked Eagle Fruit the best."
Melaleuca Japonica was startled for a moment. She looked pensive and suddenly lowered her head to open the lid of the jade box in her hand. She took a look inside and her expression changed slightly. Then, she became silent. After a moment, she sighed and said, "It seems that Senior Martial Brother Muyuan really has great expectations for you."
Su Qingjun slightly bowed her head with a smile on her face. She didn't explain further and just said softly, "I sincerely ask Martial Uncle to fulfill my wish. Qingjun can't thank you enough."
Melaleuca Japonica closed the jade box in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll arrange this. You can go now. There will probably be news in a few days. I'll let you know when the time comes."
Su Qingjun bowed deeply to her and said with a respectful expression, "Thank you, Martial Uncle."
Melaleuca Japonica sighed and got up to avoid her. Then, she went forward to hold Su Qingjun's hand and walked out with her. She said, "Qingjun, your future is promising and your achievements are limitless. You really don't need to be so polite to an old woman like me. I can't accept it."
Su Qingjun shook her head and said, "Martial Uncle, what are you talking about? I …"
Melaleuca Japonica smiled and waved her hand to stop her. She said, "It's okay. We both know what to do. Anyway, I'll remember this. Just wait for my news."
Su Qingjun nodded and thanked Melaleuca Japonica again. Then, she smiled and said goodbye to Yi Xin who came out behind Melaleuca Japonica before leaving.
Watching the beautiful woman's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Yi Xin couldn't help but show a trace of envy. She said to Melaleuca Japonica, "Martial Uncle, Sister Su is really amazing. Whether it is cultivation, talent, appearance, or bearing, she's perfect."
Melaleuca Japonica smiled and didn't say anything. Then, she turned and walked back to the room.
Yi Xin followed up and asked curiously, "Oh right, Martial Uncle, why did you have such a big reaction when Sister Su said she wanted fresh Eagle Fruit?"
Melaleuca Japonica snorted and said, "What do you know? There's a lot of knowledge in that sentence."
Yi Xin was instantly interested. She pulled Melaleuca Japonica's arm and said with a smile, "Martial Uncle, tell me about it."
Melaleuca Japonica rolled her eyes and said, "Make tea!"
"Okay, okay." Yi Xin smiled and quickly poured the cold tea. Then, she made a new cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Melaleuca Japonica. Then, she said with a smile, "Martial Uncle, teach me. Let me broaden my horizons."
Melaleuca Japonica took a sip of tea and sighed. "The Eagle Fruit has many uses. Although it's precious, it's not a particularly rare spiritual ingredient. It's nothing much. However, there's something special about this kind of spiritual fruit. When it ripens, it naturally emits a pure spiritual energy. When the petals open, the energy will spread out for about ten minutes. If you eat the Eagle Fruit during this time, the effect will increase by ten percent. "
"Ten percent?" Yi Xin said in surprise.
"That's right. Only ten percent." Melaleuca Japonica said calmly, "Because no one can pick the Eagle Fruit at the right time to eat it, all the Eagle Fruits on the market are picked and preserved. Since there's not much difference in effect, no one cares about it."
Yi Xin looked outside the door and said, "Then why did Sister Su … her Shifu tell her to eat fresh fruits?"
"That's what I was talking about." Melaleuca Japonica smiled and said, "Her Shifu, Masato Kihara, really has high expectations of her. She spares no effort in even these minor details. In this way, if there are no accidents, her foundation in the future will be almost perfect. At least in the Yuanying realm, maybe she'll have a little more confidence."
Yi Xin was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head and sighed. "Different people have different fates. Sister Su is really lucky."
"Lucky …" Melaleuca Japonica looked at her and smiled faintly, but didn't say anything.
…
The light and shadow distorted in mid-air. After a while, Lu Chen's figure appeared in the tree hole.
Atsu, who was lying on the ground and feeling bored, suddenly raised its head. It barked and limped over.
At this moment, some of the white cloth on Atsu's body had been removed, but more than half of its body was still tied up. It looked a little miserable. However, Atsu's tenacious and amazing vitality was once again displayed at this moment. After receiving treatment from Lu Chen, such serious injuries began to rapidly improve. Now, it could even walk with some difficulty.
Lu Chen squatted down, hugged Atsu's head, and patted it. Then, he first checked its various wounds, nodded, and took out a bag of meat and threw it to it. Atsu immediately barked with joy, wagged its tail, and then lowered its head to eat.
Lu Chen sat down and patted its head. Then, he said, "You must be suffocated here. Bear with it a little longer. When your injuries are healed, you will be able to leave soon."
Atsu raised its head and looked at him. It rubbed its head against his hand and then lowered its head to continue eating the meat. However, after a few bites, it suddenly raised its head and stared at Lu Chen with its only eye. It let out a few low growls.
Its sharp, snow-white fangs were revealed at the side of its mouth. Even its eyes seemed to be cold.
It was just like those bloodthirsty and crazy black jackals on the Black Armor Mountain in the Land of Chaos. The ancient bestiality hidden in the depths of blood seemed to be emitting from this black dog bit by bit.
Lu Chen looked at it quietly. After a while, he said faintly, "Don't worry. We will take revenge eventually."
Atsu looked at him. After a while, it wagged its tail, and then lowered its head to eat the meat again.
Lu Chen sat at the side and watched it eat non-stop. He watched as the white cloth gradually recovered its vitality and its shiny black fur, as well as the aura of a wild beast that was gradually revealed. Lu Chen remained silent.
…
It was another day when the morning light shone down. The fresh air turned into a gentle breeze, blowing over the top of the Flowing Fragrance Garden. Most of the handyman disciples came here on time to work, so did Lu Chen. But this day was a little different from usual. Jin Dan Friar, who was in charge of this area, came here with another female practitioner, Melaleuca Japonica, who had white hair and a ruddy complexion. They then picked eight people according to the name list and told them not to plant their own spirit herbs for the time being. Together, they came to the other side of the garden to a relatively independent and wider spiritual field.
There were many trees planted in this spiritual field, all of the same kind. Some had already borne fruit, and the fruits were different from the others. They were green with red, oddly shaped, and somewhat resembled an eagle's beak.
Lin Sheng did not immediately lecture them. Instead, he had been standing on the side with Melaleuca Japonica, whispering to them.
The other eight handyman disciples stood silently beside the spiritual field, many of them looking puzzled.
Lu Chen was among the eight. Coincidentally, He Changsheng was also there.
When he turned around to look at the people around him, he saw He Changsheng. He Changsheng seemed to be looking at him as well. For some reason, He Changsheng looked much better than before. He no longer had that flustered and exasperated look on his face, nor did he have that violent temper. He looked much gentler.
He even smiled at Lu Chen and nodded at him when Lu Chen looked at him. But if one looked closely, one would vaguely find that there was a trace of strange doubt hidden in the depths of He Changsheng's eyes. He also seemed to be secretly watching Lu Chen, as if he wanted to see something from Lu Chen.
But in contrast, Lu Chen did not seem to have anything strange at all. He had been standing there quietly. Occasionally, he would meet He Changsheng's eyes, and he would nod calmly and politely. He was neither angry nor close, just the same as usual.
He Changsheng looked at Lu Chen for a long time, and the doubt in his eyes deepened.
After a while, Lin Sheng ended his conversation with Melaleuca Japonica. It seemed that he had a clear idea of what was going on. He stood up and began to speak to the eight handyman disciples that he had gathered.
The content of his speech was not too complicated. It was nothing more than a rare two-vein spiritual material, the Eagle Fruit, planted in this spiritual field. Because someone in the sect was in urgent need of this material, everyone was required to carefully cultivate it. If it was planted well, there would naturally be a reward, and the reward would be twice as much as usual. In addition to the usual harvest rewards, spiritual stones would be directly given to the person who planted the best.
At this, the handyman disciples were all moved. In terms of rewards alone, this was unprecedented. And some people could also see that this time, the eight people called over by Lin Sheng were almost the best in spiritual power cultivation among the handyman disciples in the Herb Garden.
Obviously, this task assigned by the sect this time was for the one with the best results.
With this tacit understanding and requirement, the eight people quickly got into the mood and went down to the spiritual field.
Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction. He walked to the edge of the field and said to Melaleuca Japonica, "Senior Sister Yan, what do you think?"
Melaleuca Japonica smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. It's a pity that this kind of thing could actually be done by the Foundation Establishment disciples. After all, the handyman disciples have low cultivation, and their control of the five elements of spiritual power is still lacking. "
Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't? But as long as the official disciples have a bit of talent, they all see this kind of farming and mulberry planting as lowly and menial work. Even if they have nothing to do, they would definitely not come here to do this. Otherwise, if it was spread out, it would be a great humiliation. They would only feel that their status would be greatly lowered, and they would not do it even if they died. Sigh, I don't know how this trend started. What a pity. "
Melaleuca Japonica was a little helpless and said, "That's true. Forget it. Anyway, now that it's like this, we can only pick the tall ones from the short ones. Let's choose the best one."
Lin Sheng smiled and said, "That's the only way."
