Chapter 52 The Thief Who Stole the Spiritual Fruit

After determining the fishing grounds, Shi Mo and Ao Qing came to Penglai Island.

Taoist Xingyun had already brought a large amount of corn and spiritual fruits and had a deal with Dong Wanggong first, but the main profit was naturally the spiritual fruits needed by the dragon clan.

After tasting the spiritual fruit and confirming that it was of good quality, and after some discussion to determine the spiritual materials needed to exchange for the spiritual fruit, Ao Qing sent Ao Guang to prepare them.

After Ao Guang returned, he did not delay for long and brought back a batch of seabed spiritual materials needed for the transaction.

After taking the shell-like storage magic weapon handed over by Ao Guang, Shi Mo used his spiritual sense to check the various seabed spiritual materials stored in it, and his eyes lit up:
"They say the four seas are rich, and the dragon clan is indeed very wealthy! The dragon clan has occupied the resources of the four seas, so how can they not attract the covetous eyes of the demon clan in the future?"

"However, this has little to do with me. I just need to trade with the dragon clan and earn more of their wealth and resources."

Shi Mo thought to himself that after the deal was done, he did not linger in Yingzhou Fairy Island for long. He said goodbye and left with the Taoist Xingyun, the incarnation of the kind corpse.

However, before leaving, Shi Mo still gave the dragon clan some corn.

Even though the dragons didn't seem to have much interest in corn, what if they tried it and fell in love with it? That would be a good business opportunity.

A qualified businessman must know how to sell products.

Within the fan-shaped area of ​​tens of thousands of miles in the east, south and west directions outside Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, in addition to large tracts of corn fields, there are also many orchards in the mountainous areas that are not suitable for large-scale corn cultivation.

In an orchard with a radius of hundreds of miles, accompanied by sword lights, wherever Taoist Xingyun, dressed in a Taoist robe shining with starlight, passed by, sword energy accurately left cuts on the appropriate branches of some fruit trees on the mountain.

Shi Mo followed closely behind, and with a wave of his hand, some small branches that had been cut for grafting flew over and fit into the cuts on the branches of the fruit trees.

Then Shi Mo sacrificed the life-snatching gourd and released a large amount of rain and dew that was full of green vitality, which healed the cuts on the branches of the fruit tree and the newly grafted twigs began to sprout and branch out.

In this way, with the efficiency of Shi Mo himself and the incarnation of Shanshi working together, the entire orchard was grafted in a short time.

From now on, as long as there are no problems with the fruit trees, this orchard can provide Shi Mo with a steady supply of grafted spiritual fruits.

Shi Mo would only personally undertake such large-scale grafting for those spiritual fruits that were difficult to graft and had good quality after grafting.

The grafting of more fruit trees was still completed by Jin Yan and other earth core fire dragons under the guidance of Shi Mo.

Of course, Shi Mo would not let them work in vain. After all, they could taste some spiritual fruits when they harvested the fruits after a busy period.

Moreover, those who perform well will have the opportunity to receive guidance and instruction from Shi Mo in their cultivation.

"Master!" Shi Mo and Taoist Xingyun, who had just finished grafting in the orchard, heard Jin Yan's shout.

Jin Yan, who turned into a golden light and flew over, said to Shi Mo anxiously, "Master, this is bad! Many of the fruits that were about to mature in our orchards have been stolen."

"What? Stealing fruits? My orchard has been robbed?" Shi Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, and at the same time, he was filled with doubts.
"Who on earth is so shameless as to be able to penetrate the defense of the earth vein restriction formation I set up and steal the fruit?" Shi Mo closed his eyes and extended his consciousness through the earth vein network. He soon sensed something and his gaze became sharp.
"This thief who stole the spiritual fruit actually set his sights on the spiritual fruit I stored in the underground spiritual veins. He is so greedy and so bold!"

With a thought, Shi Mo directly escaped into the underground vein network, and in a blink of an eye he came to an underground spiritual vein that stored a large number of spiritual fruits.

However, when Shi Mo just arrived here, he found that all the spiritual fruits originally stored here were gone, and at the same time, a yellow light was rapidly escaping along the earth vein network.

"Still want to run?" Shi Mo, laughing angrily, chased after him, then he used the Wind-Fixing Beads to stop the energy fluctuations in the surrounding earth vein network.

In an instant, the fast-flying yellow light suddenly stopped and slowed down, turning into a golden ancient tower.

"Is this aura a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?" Shi Mo frowned slightly in surprise as he felt the aura fluctuations of the ancient tower's full-blown power.
"Hidden in a tower? Such an innate spiritual treasure of defense is rare! No wonder you had the guts to steal my spiritual fruit. Do you think I can't do anything to you just by relying on this innate spiritual treasure?"

Shi Mo's eyes turned cold, and he directly flipped his hand and summoned the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus.

The lotus petals on the lotus platform that was growing rapidly blossomed and wrapped around the tower. Then the blood-red lotus fire grew stronger and directly burned the tower.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire is very special, between nothingness and reality, and can even penetrate the tower and affect the guy hiding inside.

"Ah, stop burning. I'm coming out. Spare my life." A painful cry for mercy came from the tower. After burning for a while, Shi Mo suddenly thought about it and subsided the flames rising from the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus.

Then, the tower, which was still wrapped in lotus petals, shrank rapidly, revealing a slightly plump man with a mustache inside.

"Huh? A mere Xuanxian? How dare you come to steal my spiritual fruit? How could you get a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to protect yourself?" Shi Mo was stunned when he saw the other party.

Shi Mo was speechless at the other party's low cultivation level and great courage.

"Rat?" Shi Mo then looked at the other party with a sharp gaze. After seeing through the other party's true form, he found that his true form was actually a big rat covered in golden light. He couldn't help but become more surprised.

"Senior, please spare me! Senior, please spare me! I just wanted to get some spiritual fruits to eat. I didn't know these spiritual fruits belonged to you, and I dared not offend you!" The slightly plump man trapped in the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Lotus trembled under Shi Mo's gaze, knelt down and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Seeing him like this, Shi Mo inexplicably thought of the word "cowardly as a mouse". It seems that even a mouse that has transcended the tribulation and transformed into a human form is not very courageous.

"You used the tower magic treasure to break through the formation defense I left behind, right?" Shi Mo said coldly:
"You don't look stupid. It's impossible that you didn't realize that these spiritual fruits, as well as the orchard you visited before, are owned by someone else. Yet, you still came to steal them. This shows that you knew you were wrong and still made a mistake! How can I forgive you then?"

"Senior, please spare my life! Duobao knows his mistake! I am willing to hand over the spiritual fruit, please spare my life!" The slightly fat man's face changed when he heard this and he kowtowed repeatedly.

Duobao? Shi Mo asked in surprise, almost unable to contain his expression, "Your name is Duobao? Is your tower spiritual treasure called Duobao Tower?"

"How did you know this, Senior? Could it be that this tower was left behind by you?"

Duobao looked up at Shi Mo in surprise, then his expression changed and he kowtowed quickly, saying, "Disciple Duobao, greetings to the teacher!"
