Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 139 Huge Harvest
Zhou Qing put the fruit to his mouth and suddenly noticed that Qing Yuan's eyes were fixed on the fruit in his hand, and drool was already dripping from the corner of her mouth.

He stopped what he was doing and laughed, "Why don't you pick one and share it with me?"

Qingyuan said, "I live here, so I can eat whenever I want."

As she spoke, she deliberately turned her head to the side, refusing to look at the fruit in his hand.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "I see there are only a hundred or so fruits here, but there are at least several thousand disciples of the Longevity Sect. I'm afraid not everyone can get one. I think only cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can be allocated one."

"You wouldn't be giving me your share, would you?"

Qingyuan didn't deny it. She laughed and said, "It's no big deal. I'll just take the old man's food from now on. He has a lot of food, and he can't finish it all every year. So it's all for me."

Zhou Qing shook her head, thinking to herself, "How could there be a problem with not being able to finish a few fruits? It's probably something that Master Qingmu intentionally left for her."

He broke the fruit in his hand, handed half to Qingyuan, and said with a smile, "Half for each of us."

Qingyuan took half of it, and the two of them clinked their glasses lightly, as if they were drinking.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind hospitality."

Qingyuan laughed and said, "There's no need for thanks between good friends."

After saying that, the two put half of the fruit into their mouths.

The longevity fruit was soft and sweet, and Zhou Qing ate it in the blink of an eye.

He felt a warm current flowing through his body, which quickly disappeared without a trace, but he couldn't feel what specific effect it had produced. He just felt that his overall state had changed, but he didn't know the nature of the change.

Zhou Qing subconsciously released his magnetic field sensor to see if the magnetic field had changed, but to his surprise, he found that the range of the magnetic field had expanded by two feet and its intensity had also increased significantly.

This discovery surprised and delighted him.

He had never had a way to actively enhance his magnetic field; he only knew that the magnetic field would increase as his cultivation level improved.

Unexpectedly, he has now found another way to improve.

However, the question of why this longevity fruit can enhance the magnetic field is something he needs to investigate carefully.

If you can discover the essence, you can figure out which aspect of his traits the enhancement of his magnetic field is related to, and then you can supplement your own related traits accordingly.

"How is it? How does it feel?"

Qingyuan looked at him expectantly.

Zhou Qing said, "I feel much better overall, but I don't know why?"

What are the specific benefits of this fruit?

Qingyuan said proudly, "The Longevity Fruit can increase the potential of life."

Zhou Qing asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Qingyuan said, "I'm not very clear about it either. I just heard the old man say that people and all living things have life potential, and the depth of that potential determines their lifespan."

"Cultivating immortality can enhance a person's life potential, thus extending lifespan to infinity."

"Our Longevity Sect's Longevity Fruit can enhance life potential. If a mortal eats one of these fruits, it can probably extend their lifespan by one or two years."

"It's a pity that only the first one or two fruits have the best effect, and the effect gradually weakens afterward. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with the arduous cultivation; I could just eat the fruits to achieve immortality."

Zhou Qing was initially shocked by the effects of the Longevity Fruit, but then asked doubtfully, "I asked you before if the Longevity Fruit increases lifespan, but you said it didn't. However, from what you've said, it is indeed a treasure that increases lifespan." Qingyuan replied, "Life potential is naturally related to lifespan, but it is not the same as lifespan."

"Living a hundred years in a state of lingering on the brink of death is completely different from living a hundred years in a strong and healthy state."

"Increasing life potential is more like elevating life itself to a higher level. It not only increases your lifespan but also makes you healthier, more resilient if injured, more energetic, and more mentally sharp. It's an almost all-round improvement, which is why I say it cannot be equated with a treasure that increases lifespan."

Zhou Qing understood this time.

The Longevity Fruit is more powerful than I imagined.

Human vitality is like a bucket of water; increasing life potential is like enlarging that bucket.

In the cultivation world, there are many ways to influence life force, the most famous being wood-elemental magic, many of which can replenish life force and allow people to recover from injuries quickly.

These magical pills and similar substances only replenish the water in the original small bucket, thereby improving a person's recovery ability, while the Longevity Fruit directly expands the capacity, achieving the effect of advancing one's realm.

Zhou Qing finally understood the essence of his magnetic field enhancement.

The magnetic field is directly related to one's life potential; the deeper the life potential, the stronger the magnetic field.

After figuring this out, Zhou Qing's eyes turned red. He looked at the longevity fruit above his head and wondered how much he could improve if he ate all of them.

It's a pity I can't eat it, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be killed instantly by the enraged Aoki Makoto.

Moreover, the fruits that follow usually don't have the same strong effect as the ones that came after.

What a pity...

Zhou Qing shook his head regretfully.

Seeing his annoyed expression, Qingyuan assumed he hadn't had enough. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "How about I go pick another one for you?"

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you'll really get scolded if I pick any more."

He then remembered that Qingyuan had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and this should be the first time she received her share, which she used to entertain her friend.

Even Zhou Qingxin, who was as firm as a rock, couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He thought to himself that he shouldn't have let the other person sleep in the bamboo forest. At least he could have set up a small bed in the yard.

Qingyuan chuckled and said, "That's nothing. I get scolded a lot. The old man is only good with words. As long as I cry and beg, he won't have the heart to scold me."

This kid really knows how to deal with his old father.

Zhou Qing inexplicably sensed that beneath Qingyuan's cheerful exterior lay a lonely atmosphere. Master Qingmu was too strict with her, to the point that she rarely had any friends. Her naive nature was probably related to this.

Zhou Qing didn't want to stay in the cave any longer.

The immortal fruit above his head was incredibly tempting; he didn't want to suffer here any longer.

The two turned and walked towards the cave entrance.

Tonight's harvest was truly unimaginable. Not only did I eat the Longevity Fruit, which enhanced my life potential, but it also strengthened my magnetic field abilities.

More importantly, he finally understood the essence of his enhanced magnetic field.

The reason why each advancement in one's realm is accompanied by an enhancement of magnetic field abilities is because advancement in realm can expand a person's life potential.

Since the Longevity Fruit of the Longevity Sect can expand life potential, Zhou Qing felt he could reasonably deduce that there must be other means, such as cultivation techniques, spells, or elixirs, in this world that can expand life potential.
