Truth be told, Lü Shu had never thought that a single Marrow Cleansing Fruit would have such a huge effect. It had actually allowed Chen Baili to directly advance to [A] class. Was this … the first [A] class in the world?
Based on what Chen Baili had said, it could be deduced that Chen Baili had been stuck at his bottleneck for several decades. This was all caused by his broken foundation. Now that his foundation had been restored, all breakthroughs seemed to come naturally to him.
Li Xianyi had once said that the bottleneck in this world was like a ceiling. When everyone was stuck there, they would feel that it was very difficult to break through. When the first person started to break through, it would be like a revolution in history, and the standard of the entire human race would start to rise once again.
From what Li Xianyi had said, breaking through to [A] class was no longer a matter of an individual.
After Chen Baili had broken through, there would naturally be a discussion within Tengra about breaking through the bottleneck. Then, with Chen Baili's prior experience, they would be able to improve as a whole. However, this was not a flourishing era for the cultivators of a country. When the [A] class in the country fought with other mutants and cultivation organizations, the other party would also come up with some rules and slowly begin attempting to break through.
Fortunately, this time, the cultivators of China were at the forefront of the world.
Lü Shu looked at Chen Baili, who was bowing before him, and felt somewhat complicated. He quickly helped Chen Baili up. "Tengra, there's no need to be so courteous … I'll remember this favor. Don't forget my contribution …"
"Negative emotion points received from Chen Baili, + 66."
In Chen Baili's imagination, a normal person would modestly decline, and then he would persist for a while, and then they would go back and forth for a few rounds … Yet, in the first round, Lü Shu had no intention of declining modestly.
However, he was not a hypocritical person. Since Chen Baili said that he would remember this favor, he would really remember it. Therefore, there were not many negative emotions. These negative emotions were purely aimed at Lü Shu's character, not at this matter.
Chen Baili stood up straight and handed the Marrow Cleansing Fruit to Lü Shu. "I don't need this anymore. It'll help you improve your aptitude. Why don't you take it and eat it?"
Lü Shu was shocked. How could he do that?! He had considered this problem before. Should he just tell Chen Baili that he would eat one and only give one to Chen Baili? This way, he could sneak one back to Li Xianyi and say that he found it in the ruins.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that it would not work. In Tengra, Earth Net's Grade-A and Grade-B aptitude were linked to spirit stones. If he ate it, Earth Net would definitely ask him to retest his aptitude. When that happened, the mystery of his aptitude would be exposed.
It would be fine if he was really Grade-A, but Lü Shu was not!
Back then, when he ate a drop of blood, a color that was not indicated on the colorimeter appeared on the sodium potassium alloy, which directly surpassed Grade-A aptitude! How was he going to explain to Tengra that the sodium potassium alloy that was as bright as the stars?
Therefore, he could not let Chen Baili eat the Marrow Cleansing Fruit in front of him. In fact, he could not let Chen Baili think that he had eaten it.
He really wanted to take this opportunity to give Li Xianyi a Marrow Cleansing Fruit. Just now, he suddenly remembered that Xiaoyu had heard the conversation between the Tengra Shi Xuejin and Li Xianyi. Tengra Earth Net had promised to give Li Xianyi if they found any treasures in the ruins that could make up for their foundation.
In that case … would they give this Marrow Cleansing Fruit to Li Xianyi as promised?
It seemed that all the agreements in this world were made to be broken.
However, Lü Shu felt that he could take a gamble. If he did not make the right bet, he would only lose 1,000 negative emotion points. If there was a Tengra like Chen Baili within Tengra Earth Net, which had a broken foundation and limited their cultivation, he would be making a contribution to ensure the internal stability of the Earth Net.
If he made the right bet, then Li Xianyi's problem would be solved.
Lü Shu even wanted to take this opportunity to see what Tengra Earth Net looked like, or to see if that Nie Ting Tengra was really as open and aboveboard as the rumors said.
It was only 1,000 negative emotion points. This thing was very rare for Chen Baili and the others, but it was not worth much to Lü Shu. Even if Li Xianyi did not get the Marrow Cleansing Fruit this time, he could still find an opportunity to give it to him in the future.
He took the gamble.
"Tengra." Lü Shu suddenly said righteously, "How can I eat such an important thing? Take it away, I can't take it! As the successor of socialism, I can't be so selfish! "
Chen Baili always felt that Lü Shu was strange, but he was clearly so righteous and selfless … Did he misunderstand this young man because of his preconceived notions?
No matter what, this young man was generally quite good. Tengra Earth Net was in need of such ambitious young men at its current stage of development. A strong young man would make a strong country!
Chen Baili sighed in his heart …
Lü Shu suddenly asked curiously, "Since this is a fruit, there should be a worry about expiration, right? How do you preserve it?"
"No problem." Chen Baili waved his sleeve, and a small jade box appeared in his hand. The old Taoist carefully placed the Marrow Cleansing Fruit into the jade box, then quickly closed it. Lü Shu felt that the spiritual energy waves on the jade box were very strong, so it was probably a treasure.
At this time, the pool of water that contained a huge amount of spiritual energy had already become transparent after Chen Baili broke through. The plant in the pool had also started to slowly wither after Lü Shu plucked the fruit. As the water flowed, it turned into a pile of sparkling powder that fell into the pool, then disappeared.
Lü Shu saw this scene and heaved a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that if he was lucky enough to obtain the formation core, he might even be able to come back and explore it in the future. In the end, now that Chen Baili had directly broken through to Grade A, Lü Shu felt that he no longer needed to worry about the formation core …
Fighting for the formation core with a Grade A expert … Just the thought of it made Lü Shu's head hurt.
It was good that the plant was dead, lest Chen Baili found it again in the ruins in the future. Eh, why did it bear a blue fruit again? Shouldn't it be red?
If that happened, Lü Shu would just chuckle …
Chen Baili suddenly brought up the old topic again. "Are you willing to take me as your master?"
This time, Lü Shu shook his head. "I still feel that my current situation is quite good. I appreciate your kindness, but awakening is enough. Cultivation is too tiring."
For him, cultivation was naturally tiring, but he had the willpower to persevere. However, he could not tell that to Chen Baili. He had originally wanted to help in the fight. After helping out, he should just leave. How cool would that be? Lü Shu thought happily.
However, this time, Chen Baili did not insist. His lifespan had already broken through again, and he no longer had to worry about turning into a pile of dust. There was still a long way to go.
Moreover, a forcibly picked melon would not be sweet. Chen Baili did not think about this matter for the time being. If he met Lü Xiaoyu again, he would ask that little kid …
