The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Chapter 427 The Worry-Free Flower Tree, a Pure Divine Soul Seed (Please Subscribe)

At this time.

Hua Ling, who had just come to her senses, smacked her lips, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. She turned to look at Zhu Yu, who was examining the divinely bestowed fruit. She stepped closer and said with a smile, "Ju Feng, this is something Hua Ling specially exchanged for you. Lord Ye Lian said that eating this Wuyou Flower and Tree Divinely Bestowed Fruit will make you smarter. Ju Feng, you are already very smart, so you will definitely become even smarter after eating it."

"Become smarter—"

Zhu Yu paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Yes, eating it will definitely make you smarter."

According to the analysis of "True Sight".

This divinely bestowed fruit, named the Worry-Free Flower Tree, has the extremely rare effect of purifying the soul. A pure soul brings many benefits, one of which is sharpening the mind.

This divinely bestowed fruit has a great effect on the "original body".

If refined into a pill, its effects would be sufficient to cleanse away the lingering ailments and impurities caused by the pills he took during his Qi refining process.

With the addition of elixirs that stimulate the release of spiritual power, the daily upper limit of condensed spiritual particles will inevitably increase significantly, greatly shortening the time required for the body to break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

"Hanabishi is truly a lucky worm—"

Zhu Yu sighed inwardly. Thinking of this, he was even more determined not to let Hua Ling break through so hastily. He didn't want to be 100% sure, but he needed to be at least 70% or 80% sure.

Thinking of this, he looked at Hua Ling and said, "Thank you, Hua Ling. Ju Feng likes this gift very much."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ling's eyes immediately narrowed with a smile. She mimicked Zhu Yu's gesture, seemingly trying not to laugh. Ku Ku chuckled, "If Ju Feng likes it, that's good. Next year—"

Before it could finish speaking, Zhu Yu interrupted, "Don't bring it next year."

Fearing Hua Ling might misunderstand, he looked into its deep blue eyes and said earnestly, "Giant Peak really likes Hua Ling's gift, but this Lord-level divine gift isn't cheap, is it?"

Even ordinary Lord-level Divine-given Goji Berries are worth 1.5 million Life Stones. A top-tier Divine-given fruit like this, which involves the soul, would probably cost tens of millions of Life Stones.

Zhu Yu silently calculated for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling. If things went as he thought, Hua Ling might have to give up all her savings to buy the God-given Fruit of the Wuyou Flower Tree.

Then, realizing that it was preparing to break through to the Mountain Lord realm, he hurriedly asked, "Hua Ling, how many Life Stones did you spend to buy this divinely bestowed fruit?"

Hua Ling blinked, looking rather guilty, and said, "I didn't spend any Life Stones, it's just—it's just—"

"No flowers? What does that mean?!"

Seeing that it was stammering, Zhu Yu urged it to ask.

Seeing his anxiety, Hua Ling was startled and honestly confessed, "Hua Ling traded it with Lord Ye Lian for pickled 'Xifu Begonia' divinely bestowed fruit."

Worried that Zhu Yu might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "After purchasing the Water Willow Fruit, Hua Ling didn't have enough left to buy all of the Giant Peak's Divine Fruit. She figured since selling it to Lord Ye Lian was the same as selling it, she might as well use the amount of 'Xifu Begonia' Divine Fruit she had made to exchange for one Divine Fruit with Lord Ye Lian—"

After saying that, Hua Ling lowered her head and whispered, "If Ju Feng doesn't like it, Hua Ling can talk to Lord Ye Lian—"

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the problem was a lack of capital. He had almost mistaken Hua Ling for making her final arrangements. Coming to his senses, he looked at the silent Hua Ling with her head down and said with amusement, "It's just capital, Ju Feng will lend it to you—"

Realizing he didn't have any Life Stones in his pocket, he quickly changed his mind and said, "I'll give you all the divine fruits this season. Once you sell them, you can give them to Giant Peak."

Hua Ling suddenly raised her head, staring wide-eyed at Zhu Yu, but then shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, Hua Ling can't—"

Zhu Yu waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "Don't say anymore, just leave it at that."

"But--"

Hua Ling was at a loss for what to do.

Zhu Yu didn't dwell on this matter any longer, but instead asked about the auxiliary methods for breaking through to the Mountain Lord realm.

Hua Ling was a little confused by his question, and stammered, "It's just about eating a water plum, a divinely bestowed fruit—"

"That simple?"

Zhu Yu didn't believe it and asked, "Then wouldn't many insects from the giant flea tribe have gone to see the Mother Goddess?"

Hua Ling blinked, looking bewildered, and said, "Yes." Seeing Zhu Yu's glare, she shrank back and whispered, "Wouldn't it be better to go see the Mother Goddess—"

Zhu Yu glanced at it speechlessly, ignored it, and turned to leave. As if remembering something, he picked a white-tailed pear, a divinely bestowed fruit, and then left the array space with the somewhat bewildered Hua Ling.

Before leaving the array space.

He asked Hanabi about the price of the White Tail Pear, a gift from the gods, and how well the pickled "Xifu Begonia" fruit was selling.

It was quite different from what he had imagined.

Although the White Tail Pear, a divinely bestowed fruit, is a special and superior divine gift, its price is not sky-high; one fruit is worth 50,000 Life Stones.

When the topic of pickling the "Xifu crabapple" fruit came up, Hanabi became excited and launched into a long, rambling explanation.

in short.

All the insects that tried the pickled "Xifu crabapple" fruit fell in love with its unique flavor.

One hundred pickled "Xifu crabapple" fruits, a gift from God.

More than ten of them were sold at the market price of 15,000 Life Stones for the Divine Fruit, while the rest were sold at a higher price of 20,000 Life Stones at the suggestion of Lord Ye Lian.

And it sold out very quickly, with many more insects already pre-ordered.

This allowed Hanabi to make a considerable profit.

It was for this reason that Hanabi was able to exchange 30% of the "Xifu Begonia" divinely bestowed fruit for a top-grade divinely bestowed fruit.

Zhu Yu silently calculated that if it was only a 30% share, without increasing the yield of the divinely bestowed fruit of the "Xifu Begonia", it would take Lord Ye Lian at least twenty years to recoup his costs.

However, if we look at the worst-case scenario...

Since Hanabishi failed to defeat the mountain lord, this deal seems quite worthwhile—

Zhu Yu shook his head without thinking much about it. As soon as he left the array space, he saw the Moon Elf stand up and kick the array barrier with her leg.

Eyes facing each other.

The moon elf awkwardly withdrew her leg, remained silent for a few moments, and then said, "Well, the fusion of the body wasn't quite complete—"

Zhu Yu didn't expose it, gave it an understanding look, flapped its wings and flew down, handing over the divinely bestowed white-tailed pear fruit in its hand, and said, "Mount Crescent, could you please tell Giant Peak about the 'Life Realm' and how to break through to the Mountain Lord Realm most steadily?"

"This is--"

The moon elf's eyes lit up as she accepted the divinely bestowed fruit from the White-tailed Pear. Sensing the spiritual essence contained within it, she immediately determined that it was at least a high-grade divinely bestowed fruit.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but gasp, and its gaze towards Zhu Yu suddenly changed.

The higher the grade of a divinely bestowed spirit seed, the more difficult it is to be born; similarly, the higher the grade of a divinely bestowed spirit seed, the greater its value.

Leaving aside other matters...

With this divinely bestowed spiritual seed, which is at least of superior grade, Zhu Yu can undergo at least six transformations once he advances to the Mountain Lord realm.

The six-year-old mountain-lord insectoid warriors are considered the backbone of the insectoid warriors in the entire Tiannan region.

"Lucky bug—"

The moon elf felt a pang of sadness, and the divinely bestowed fruit in his hand no longer tasted sweet. Before his true form perished, he had only cultivated three divinely bestowed fruits. Apart from the inherited divinely bestowed fruit, the others were all low-grade divinely bestowed fruits.

But this high-grade giant winged wasp actually possessed a top-grade divine gift, how could it not be envious and jealous?

Take a few breaths to calm down.

It slowly told Zhu Yu and Hua Ling about the "Fate Realm" and their experience of breaking through to the "Mountain Lord Realm".

As the moon spirit narrated.

Zhu Yu gradually understood what the "Fate Realm" was all about.

The name "Life Realm" is obviously related to the Zerg's "Life Sac".

According to the Moon Elf, the "Fate Realm" is a space where the "Fate Sac" nurtures the "Realm Seed," and it expands as the insect ages.

The "Fate Realm" can not only store things, but also take in the "Fate Seeds" it nurtures, and not only will it not affect their growth, but it will also accelerate their growth.

And most importantly.

At a certain cost, the "Life Realm" can cultivate divinely bestowed spiritual seeds.

As for breaking through to the Mountain Lord Realm.

The moon elf also shared her experience.

A normal breakthrough is like what Hua Ling said: buy a divinely bestowed fruit, consume it, and then undergo a dormant transformation.

The result is that there is a 90% chance of meeting the Mother Goddess.

The abnormal one is to eat divinely bestowed fruits, eating large quantities of them until he can't eat anymore.

Such extravagance naturally yields outstanding results.

The probability of breaking through to the Mountain Lord realm is at least 70%.

Zhu Yu asked how much it would take to eat until you couldn't eat anymore.

The moon elf was also straightforward, stating that different races have different needs, and that it only needed to eat one hundred divine fruits.

He finished speaking.

The moon elf raised the divinely bestowed fruit in her hand, and said expectantly, "The other ninety-nine divinely bestowed fruits—"

Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "Next year, the quantity isn't enough this year—"

Upon hearing this, the moon spirit nodded without asking further questions. It could wait a year or two. After thinking for a moment, it reluctantly handed back the divinely bestowed fruit, saying, "Then give me the giant peak next year—"

"it is good."

Zhu Yu was taken aback, nodded, and accepted the divinely bestowed fruit, the white-tailed pear.

Just as he was about to take the dazed Hua Ling back to the array space, he heard the Moon Elf say, "Jufeng, if you're not in a hurry, you can wait for Cai Ling to return before breaking through to the Mountain Lord Realm. Maybe there will be a pleasant surprise—"

Having said that, the moon spirit didn't linger and turned to leave.

"surprise--"

Zhu Yu watched the Moon Elf's departing figure, his eyes thoughtful. Coming back to his senses, he patted Hua Ling and said with a smile, "Come on, Hua Ling, let's go pick some fruit—"

"Kukuku—Let's go—"

Upon hearing about picking fruit, Hua Ling immediately became excited.

Not long after.

Two piles of divinely bestowed fruits were piled up in the central array space: one pile was the divinely bestowed fruit of the white-tailed pear, and the other pile was the divinely bestowed fruit of the crabapple.

"One, two—"

Hua Ling excitedly counted the number of divinely bestowed fruits.

Zhu Yu watched from the side, and after it finished counting, he said with a smile, "Hua Ling, do you remember last year when Ju Feng said he had a surprise for you? —"

Before it could answer, it beckoned and said, "Come with me."

After saying that, it spread its wings and flew towards the array barrier on one side.

Hua Ling followed curiously, and after passing through the array barrier, her gaze involuntarily fell on the nine strange plants in the center of the space.

Sensing the aura it emitted, it rubbed its eyes, turned to look at Zhu Yu in shock, and stammered, "That—that's a divinely bestowed spirit seed?—"

Seeing Zhu Yu nod, it immediately became excited.

"Jufeng, you're amazing!"

"good."

Zhu Yu nodded reservedly, then led Hua Ling to the "Empress Bamboo Fungus," ignoring its ramblings, and pointed to the divine fruits, saying, "Hua Ling, this giant peak is not for sale."

"Uh-huh."

Xin Xin Hua Ling wasn't angry at all, and said happily, "Keep Ju Feng to break through to the Mountain Lord Realm." As if she thought of something, she added, "Or, Ju Feng can also keep the White-tailed Pear and the Divine Fruit of the Western Crabapple."

Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "I'll sell the white-tailed pears and crabapple blossoms for you, and these Queen Bamboo Fungus fruits are for you to use when you break through to the Mountain Lord Realm."

"ah?--"

Hua Ling was stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously, "No need, no need, Hua Ling has the divinely bestowed fruit of the water bayberry, keep the giant peak for yourself."

Zhu Yu didn't speak, she just looked at it.

As Hua Ling spoke, her voice gradually weakened.

Zhu Yu then said, "Hua Ling, please accept it without worry. The Empress's bamboo fungus is a gift from the water element, and it suits you very well."

He paused for a moment, then said, "As for me, Hua Ling, come with me."

Before Hua Ling could speak, he took it and took it for a walk around the array space where the "Hyacinth" and "Heavenly Mushroom" were located.

Once we return to the central space...

Hua Ling was still in a daze for a long time.

Seeing its appearance, Zhu Yu smiled inwardly. After it came to its senses, he chuckled and said, "Now you know that Giant Peak has no shortage of divinely bestowed fruits, right?"

"Uh-huh--"

Hua Ling nodded vigorously. Five divinely bestowed spirit seeds were more than enough for some medium-sized insectoid tribes. Giant Peak was truly amazing.

Zhu Yu said nothing more, but handed it the spider silk bag containing the divinely bestowed fruit of the "Empress Bamboo Fungus," then pointed to the divinely bestowed fruit of the "Xifu Crabapple" on the ground and said, "Hua Ling, you pickle the divinely bestowed fruit of the 'Xifu Crabapple,' Ling Mi is on the table, and Ju Feng will process the flesh of the divinely bestowed fruit of the 'White-tailed Pear.'"

Hua Ling clutched the spider silk bag, her expression conflicted. When she saw Zhu Yu glaring at her, she hurriedly nodded.

"Okay, Hanabi will take care of it right away."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the goods and found bottles and jars, and began to pickle the "Xifu crabapple" divine fruit with a clanging sound.

While processing the flesh of the "White-tailed Pear" divine gift, Zhu Yu thought about how to transfer the hyacinth divine gift fruit and the worry-free flower tree divine gift fruit to his "main body" once they ripened.

The search for the giant weevil caravan will have to be postponed for the time being.

According to the Moon Elf, the reason Cai Ling went out was most likely to find him a "World Seed" that was even more precious and rare than the God-given Spirit Seed.

He had to wait for Cai Ling to return at Jufeng Mountain.

If he could actually find the "World Seed" and break through to the Mountain Lord Realm with a split-point spirit, he would have completely established a stable foundation in the Insect Realm.

The Zerg have a long lifespan.

This foundation will accompany him for hundreds or thousands of years, adding bricks and tiles to his path to immortality.

Soon, Zhu Yu thought of something else.

Should we bestow divine gifts upon his good neighbors to help him break through to the second stage?

After thinking about it, I can help, but I have to wait until he breaks through to the Mountain Lord Realm.

Time passed slowly.

On the table to the side, there were many small bottles filled with "the divinely bestowed pulp of the White Tail Pear," and the ground was also covered with bottles and jars filled with pickled "the divinely bestowed fruit of the Malus spectabilis."

Then, at Zhu Yu's urging...

With a somewhat uneasy feeling, Hua Ling left Jufeng Mountain carrying the three divine fruits.

Zhu Yu escorted it all the way down the mountain until the drumbeats were no longer audible before returning to the mountaintop. After thinking for a moment, he set up an altar and first transferred the divinely bestowed fruit of the Worry-Free Flower Tree to its original body.

"Hopefully, Cai Ling can find the 'Boundary Seed'—"

"That will be a great help to the 'original body' then—"
