The fact that the idiot was able to come back alive with the harvest was not something that could be explained by luck alone. This proved that he had the corresponding strength.
In the end, Hana was left with no choice but to admit it.
This guy was dumber than she had expected, but he was also stronger than she had expected.
Hana finally paid attention to Seiji's question after she calmed down.
How to eat the silver fruit?
"Let me check. Wait a minute."
Seiji nodded.
Then he wanted to go to the toilet. He got up and walked out of the door. He saw Little Shi standing by the door.
"Brother Seiji, what's with the phrase 'It's a miracle that you were able to return alive after using a wooden sword to fight against such a monster?'" Shika asked calmly.
Didn't he say that he wouldn't take any risks? She questioned with her eyes.
Seiji: "…"
He had just been ridiculed by his own sister, and now he had to appease his sworn sister.
However, his younger sisters were all very cute, and his sister-con soul was satisfied!
…
In order to eat the silver fruit, one had to first inject spiritual energy into it.
In other words, he used his own psionic power to assimilate the energy contained in the fruit before eating it.
If one didn't do this and ate it directly, most of the energy contained in the fruit would dissipate. Those who ate it would suffer from diarrhea or even illness.
After learning all this, Seiji was glad that he had asked Hana instead of impatiently eating the fruit.
The Silver Fruit takes effect immediately after being eaten, and the effect lasts for a period of time. During this period, one should not eat a second Silver Fruit.
In other words, it was a process of increasing one's spiritual energy and spiritual power. It was not an immediate increase in power after eating it. After eating it, the consumer had to "digest" it before eating a second one.
The effects of the Silver Fruit varied from person to person. Some people would experience a great increase in their cultivation after eating it, while others would only experience a small increase.
For the same Spiritual Ability user, the more they ate, the less effective they would be. In other words, the second pill would have a lower effect than the first, and the third pill would have a lower effect than the second … It was similar to certain drugs. The more you took, the less effective it would be.
"You found so many silver fruits, it'll take you some time to finish them all. I'll mail a 'Storage Scroll' to you. You can store the fruits in there. It'll slow down the loss of their energy, "Hana told him.
"Storage Scroll?"
"It's a scroll engraved with storage runes."
"Please attach an instruction manual. Thank you very much."
"There will be, idiot."
The cat-eared hat girl glared at the handsome boy.
"Don't be smug just because you managed to return unscathed from the Spirit Realm and even reap some rewards! Also, don't think about going there again soon. Eat the fruit first. "
"Okay, got it," Seiji replied with a smile. "I know I had a lot of luck this time, so I won't be too complacent."
"Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness." Hana retracted her gaze. "That's all for now. Good night."
The video call ended.
Seiji turned off his computer and walked out of the study. He took out a silver fruit from his backpack.
He injected his spiritual energy, and the fruit immediately emitted a faint silvery-white glow. It released a faint fragrance that smelled somewhat tempting.
Shika Kagura, who was at the side, smelled the fragrance and blinked his eyes.
When Seiji felt that it should be enough, he took a bite of the silver fruit.
The taste was sweet, similar to that of a peach. It was crunchy yet soft. If one had to describe it, it was like a mixture of biscuits and cream.
A warm feeling welled up in his stomach. It was a little comfortable.
He took several bites and finished it in a short while.
He felt the warmth spread from his stomach to his entire body, as if he was taking a warm bath. It was quite comfortable.
"It seems that there's no problem … but let's wait and see tomorrow. If I'm fine, you should eat one as well," Seiji told Little Shi.
"No need … Brother, you risked your life to find this. There's no need to share it with me." Shika shook her head.
"I want to share it with you. Just eat one. It's really delicious."
"No need. Brother, you should hurry up and take a bath, then go to sleep. "Little Shi turned around and left.
After Seiji watched her return to her room, he opened up his system and saw that his [Spiritual Power] stat was slowly increasing.
He didn't know how much it would increase by, but he hoped that it would be a good increase.
Afterwards, he put away the remaining silver fruits, took a bath, and went to sleep.
…
Darkness, red light, and faint sounds.
Seiji felt himself floating in midair as he used his hazy consciousness to recognize his surroundings.
This was … the time when he heard Genji's cry for help …
Just what was this place? What were these lights? And what was the sound that he heard?
Questions popped up one after another, but they disappeared as his consciousness became faint, just like last time.
The difference was that this time, it was as if something was pulling him in, and he was continuously floating in the same direction in the darkness.
The red light gradually faded, and the sounds faded along with it.
Seiji fell into complete darkness, and then he slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
He saw a black leaf.
Seiji blinked as he got up and looked all around him.
He was currently under a large black-leafed tree. Outside of this tree was a silver-white mist of light. He could faintly see something in the mist, but he couldn't see it clearly.
"Where … is this place?"
Just like Genji, was this someone's soul realm?
What was this mist of light? This black-leafed tree … it was quite similar to the one in the Forest Palace!
Could this be the Forest Palace?
"Transferring my soul to a Spirit World while I'm asleep … that can't be, right?"
Seiji felt that this was quite inexplicable.
Genji already felt that it was quite strange last time, and this time seemed even stranger.
Why did he come to such a place … could it be because he ate the silver fruits?
He didn't understand!
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows at the mist of light.
It was useless to just stand there and think about it. Should he try walking out and take a look?
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw a faint figure appear in the mist.
This figure was becoming clearer and clearer. It was evident that it was approaching.
Finally, a figure wearing a black hooded robe with a white fox mask on his face appeared.
"May I ask what your name is?" a gentle male voice spoke up. It sounded like a young man.
"Before asking for someone else's name, shouldn't you first tell them your own name?" Seiji responded with a classical response.
"I have no name. Some call me the White Fox. Some call me the Black Robe. Some call me the Guide … "
"Guide? Guide what path? "
"The path to the Soul World."
Seiji paused in surprise for a moment.
The Soul World … was a secret faction that cast the Midnight Spell!?
"Are you a member of the Soul World!?" Seiji questioned him.
"I am a member of the Soul World," the white fox masked man responded calmly.
"A member of the Soul World … what do you mean?"
"I exist in the Soul World, which is also the place where you are currently."
"What …" Seiji was astonished. "You're saying … that this place is the Soul World!?"
The white fox masked man nodded.
The "Soul World" that he mentioned wasn't the name of the organization. It was the name of the region. Now that Seiji understood this, he reflexively looked all around him and recalled what Summer Night had told him about the meaning of the term "Soul World."
A place where ghosts and demons gathered in the Netherworld that wanted to return to the real world … was this the place?
It didn't seem like it … no, he couldn't see it clearly.
"All I can see is this tree and the mist … Just what type of region is this? Why am I here?" Seiji looked at the white fox masked man again. "You said that some people called you the Guide. Who are those people? And who exactly are you? "
The white fox masked man fell silent for a moment.
