Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 85 The Secret to Breakthrough

After a few minutes of waiting, the tree man reappeared at the city gate. With a crack appearing on his chest, Li Mu and the other two leaped out from inside him.

"Is the experiment going smoothly?" Yao Chengcheng walked forward, concern in his eyes, and asked Li Mu.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows. "Some minor incidents occurred, and their strength is not enough to deal with them." He paused and continued, "But I have found a solution. There is something that can significantly improve their strength in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuaikang curiously leaned over and asked, "What is so magical?"

Li Mu chuckled and said, "It's a plant I recently transformed. I haven't had time to tell you yet."

He paused, looked at Yu Shuaikang, and asked meaningfully: "A Sao, I remember you are still at the peak of the third level, right?"

Yu Shuaikang nodded, "Yes, it may be difficult to break through in a short period of time."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's great. The four of you come with me to the laboratory. This plant will be of great help to you all."

He walked in front and waved to the four people behind him, signaling them to follow closely.

"I haven't been to Lao Li's laboratory yet. I don't know what's inside."

"But according to his abilities, it's probably filled with all kinds of plants."

Behind Li Mu, Yao Chengcheng whispered to Yu Shuaikang.

"You guessed it right. I've been there once before. There were branches, leaves, seeds and other things made from plants, as well as a small number of finished plants."

Yu Shuaikang also replied in a low voice.

……

Yao Chengcheng couldn't help but marvel, looking around the dazzling array of plants in the room, thinking: "So this is what Lao Li's laboratory looks like!"

This space was very different from the image of a laboratory in his mind. He had expected to see all kinds of sophisticated instruments and bottles and jars, but here there were only plants, from common vegetable crops to short shrubs to mysterious plants that seemed to come from tropical rainforests. The whole environment was more like a miniature botanical garden.

Li Mu ignored the surprised expressions of the four people behind him, walked calmly to the flower stand, plucked four bright red fruits from a small tree about several dozen centimeters high, and then called out: "Stop looking, come over here!"

Upon hearing the sound, the four people immediately gathered around Li Mu, and their eyes all fell on the fruit in Li Mu's hand.

Yu Shuaikang asked shamelessly: "Old Li, is that thing you are talking about cherry tomatoes?"

Although the other three were a little hesitant, they eventually shifted their gaze from the fruit to Li Mu, curiosity revealed in their eyes.

Li Mu looked at everyone calmly and replied, "Although it is indeed transformed from cherry tomatoes, but -" At this point, he deliberately paused, and then asked, "Have you heard of Zhuguo?"

"Do you mean these fruits are red fruits?" Yao Chengcheng hit the nail on the head, revealing the deep meaning of Li Mu's words.

"Yes, it is the Red Fruit." Li Mu nodded in acknowledgement.

"But isn't the red fruit a fruit that only exists in myths and legends?" Yao Chengcheng asked doubtfully.

After hearing this, Li Mu smiled mysteriously and replied: "Who can tell the difference between true and false?"

Li Mu continued to explain: "The age of these four red fruits is not very high, probably only a few months.

Therefore, eating them will not instantly give you a hundred years of power or eternal youth. However, even so, they still store a wealth of source energy.

These energy sources are pure and flawless, and are extremely easy to absorb. They are the best aid for breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation."

After learning that the Red Fruit could help break through the bottleneck, Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo's breathing quickened, and they looked at the Red Fruit with eyes full of desire.

However, they did not ask any questions because they understood that since the city lord had shown them the red fruit and told them its effects, they would naturally have a share.

Sure enough, the next scene was just as they expected.

Li Mu handed the four red fruits in his hand to everyone and said, "Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo, each of you take one to help you break through the third level; Ah Sao, you take one to help you break through the fourth level; Cheng Cheng, you take one to increase your cultivation speed."

Without any hesitation, everyone stepped forward to take the red fruit and examined it carefully. After careful observation, they discovered the many differences between the red fruit and the cherry tomato.

The appearance of the red fruit is quite similar to the cherry tomato. However, although both are red, the color of the red fruit is darker, tending towards the deep red of cinnabar.

When you hold it, it feels as warm as jade, and the surface exudes a faint gorgeous luster.

Overall, the red fruit does not look like an ordinary fruit, but rather like a piece of red jade carefully carved into a handicraft. Its unique magic reveals its extraordinary temperament.

After a while, Li Mu looked at Yao Chengcheng and said, "I know you are not eager to improve your strength, but the heavy workload has indeed affected your progress in cultivation.

Once you have some free time, you should take the Vermillion Fruit as soon as possible to make up for the time you lost in cultivation due to work."

Yao Chengcheng nodded slightly. He knew very well that the speed of his strength improvement was indeed a bit slow. At the beginning, he and Yu Shuaikang broke through to the third level at the same time. However, now, Yu Shuaikang is close to the fourth level, while he is still in the middle of the third level and there is still some distance before breaking through to the fourth level.

"As for the three of you, come with me. There is a place that is more suitable for you to break through."

The place Li Mu mentioned was exactly his bedroom, where several source plants were planted, gathering source energy far more than other places.

This kind of environment is not only suitable for cultivation, but also an ideal place to break through the bottleneck of cultivation.

After saying that, Yao Chengcheng left, and Li Mu took Yu Shuaikang and the other two to the bedroom.

After a few breaths, they walked up the stairs to the twelfth floor of the City Lord's Mansion, which was Li Mu's bedroom.

As soon as they entered the door, they felt the extraordinaryness of this place: the source energy content in the air was far higher than other places!
The source energy content of each area is graded. Ordinary areas are only level one, but Li Mu’s bedroom is as high as level three, or even higher.

This huge difference couldn't help but arouse the curiosity and exploration of the three people.

Without waiting for them to ask, Li Mu directly told them the reason.

“The reason why the source energy content here is so high is because there are several source plants. These source plants will automatically gather the free source energy between heaven and earth, allowing them to grow faster.

For us, being in such an environment can also help us absorb a large amount of source energy more quickly and make it easier to break through bottlenecks.

I have too many things to do right now, and I haven't had time to help these source plants reproduce. When I have some free time in the future, I will quickly build a large training ground for everyone to practice with."

Li Mu explained.
