Chapter 487 Divine Gift of Maturity, Extraordinary Rainbow Diamonds, Spotted Trade (Please Subscribe)

Insect world.

The southern wilderness stretches to the Moonlit Plain.

Bailang River, a sacred place.

If you look down from the sky, you can see it.

Starting with a river with sparkling white waves, there is an area of ​​about 10,000 square kilometers, which is devoid of large shrubs and divided into nearly a thousand sections by crisscrossing dirt roads.

at this time.

Location of Bailang River.

Under a giant banyan tree that is over ten feet tall.

A three-headed dog, nearly two zhang long, with three heads, was lying sprawled out under a tree, fast asleep, its snores rising and falling, creating quite a lively scene.

At this time.

A large-winged wasp, nearly ten feet long, with wings that looked like it was meticulously carved from the finest white jade and shimmered with golden threads, flew down from the sky.

It was Zhu Yu who was out inspecting the "sacred land".

Looking at the three-headed dog, Kuroko, snoring loudly under the tree, she glared at it with annoyance.

"This guy has gotten lazier and lazier ever since he was promoted to mountain lord—"

Look up.

The riverbank was not far away.

Towering trees stand tall, including sacred plants of "Sapindus mukorossi", "Acacia leucocephala", and "Ziziphus jujuba" that are over ten feet tall.

They are not far apart.

Then stand spirit plants such as "Sea Witch Ulva", "Blood Source", "Golden Peach", "Flesh Ganoderma", "Giant Jade Mushroom", "Sour Jujube Shrub", "King Banana", and "Blueberry Berry".

At the center.

A pond was also excavated.

The enormous lotus leaf of "One Leaf Lotus" sways in the pond, while twelve pink and white lotus flowers, each as large as a house, bloom with astonishing charm.

The past year.

One by one, the life seeds transformed into the Mountain Lord level.

They completely demonstrate the difference from ordinary spirit species; they become taller and larger, the number of fruits they bear increases exponentially, and the beneficial energy contained in the fruits also increases significantly.

Up to now.

Like common varieties such as "Soapberry", "Southern Jujube", and "Silver Acacia", the fruits are plump and tempting, and they are not far from ripening.

"That's wonderful! We can plant the seeds once the fruit ripens!"

Looking at each and every seedling, Zhu Yu was filled with joy at the impending harvest. Suddenly, as if sensing something, his eyes lit up.

"Is it ripening yet—?"

Turning to look at the Five Elements Formation space on the riverbank, I flapped my wings and flew inside. I quickly cleaned my aura in the space where miscellaneous items were piled up, then turned and plunged into the adjacent formation space.

Upon entering.

Then, in the center of the space, there grew a "Xifu Begonia" that was about five zhang tall and about the thickness of a person's embrace. Its branches were winding and twisting like a dragon, and its old bark was like scales.

Hidden among its jade-green branches and leaves are fruits the size of a baby's fist, resembling jelly with alternating green and yellow hues.

At this time.

A gentle voice, filled with joy and tenderness, rang out.

"Jufeng, you're so handsome—"

"The crabapples are almost ripe; let's give them all to the giant bee—"

"Jufeng, Haitang feels this place is too small, which is why the fruit is also small. Haitang wants Jufeng to bear big, sweet fruit. Could you expand this space a bit?"

"This place is ten times larger than Jufeng Mountain."

"And have you forgotten? This time you bore a high-grade fruit, not a mountain lord-level fruit, which is why it's so small—"

Zhu Yu flew forward, gave a brief explanation, and took out life stones from the spider silk pouch on his chest, scattering them around the roots of the Begonia macrocarpa.

"Oh, Begonia forgot—"

"The giant peak is too small; the crabapple tree wants to bear you big fruit—"

The crabapple tree, blessed by the gods, seemed somewhat disgusted with the fruit it bore. Just as it was about to say something more, it paused, and its gentle voice suddenly became somewhat high-pitched.

"It's ripe, it's ripe—"

The words fell.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged and gathered, pouring into the small apple-like fruits. As the spiritual energy flowed in, the green and yellow fruits gradually transformed into red.

Upon seeing this.

Zhu Yu quickly detonated the life-giving stone beneath its roots.

A verdant, life-giving energy, like a thin mist, flowed into the crabapple tree, and its fruit began to transform at an even faster pace.

Not long after.

A fruity aroma, reminiscent of both apples and hawthorns, filled the air.

Once each fruit has completely transformed into a ruby ​​red color, the gathered spiritual energy suddenly disperses, leaving only the fragrance of the fruit.

"It's ripe—"

Zhu Yu was overjoyed, took flight, and counted the divinely bestowed fruits of the crabapple tree one by one.

They counted it several times.

Finally, it was confirmed that the crabapple tree was blessed with 1,800 fruits, of which 1,765 were like carved red jade and fully ripe, while 35 fruits were shriveled and blackened, and were bad fruits.

Although they are all high-level divinely bestowed fruits that are only half-developed.

But Zhu Yu was still very happy.

Seventeen hundred fruits—so many divinely bestowed fruits—can not only satisfy the needs of the "original body" but also meet the needs of the upcoming Flower Diamond.

In the end, you might even be able to save some money.

May Firetail, Baldhead, and White Hair break through to the Mountain Lord Realm.

Just as he was thinking this.

A gentle, melodious voice, seemingly bestowed by the gods, drifted over from the crabapple tree.

"Jufeng, will the crabapple tree still bear small fruits in the future?"

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need, the crabapple will bear big fruit next time."

"Jufeng, you're so kind—"

"The crabapple tree will bear big, delicious fruit for you to eat—"

The crabapple tree was very excited, its branches and leaves swaying and tinkling. Then it said, "Giant Peak, the crabapple is tired and wants to see the scenery and bask in the sun. Can you open this cover?"

"Can--"

Just as Zhu Yu was about to say something, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he casually replied, "I'll show you in a bit—"

After saying that, he turned around, flapped his wings, and flew away from the array space.

After cleaning himself of the divine aura of the Begonia flower that had clung to him in the array space where miscellaneous items were stored, he turned and plunged into the array space beside him.

The space is over 300 square meters.

Inside, there was a large amount of bamboo, most of which was rotten.

And in the center of the tofu skin.

Nine mushrooms, each about half a meter tall, stand upright.

Its branches are as white as snow, and its caps are lake blue with a light blue ring hanging down from the top, resembling a skirt-like fungal net.

And that is "Queen Bamboo Fungus".

Zhu Yugang entered.

A magnetic, arrogant voice rang out.

"Jufeng, are you here to help me give birth to my child?!"

Zhu Yu was rather helpless with this "Empress Bamboo Fungus" who was so engrossed in the novel, and nodded perfunctorily, saying, "Yes, Empress, you should have a baby soon—"

"How dare you!"

"What child? He's a dragon's offspring!"

Empress Zhusun snorted angrily and said, "I am so tired. Pull me out. The book says that children born lying down are smart. I want to give birth lying down too—"

"The book also says that babies born standing up are stronger—"

Zhu Yu casually replied, flapped his wings and flew close, immediately crushing a hundred Life Stones and scattering them down.

"Really?--"

Empress Zhusun was skeptical, but in the end she chose to believe Zhu Yu, saying, "Then I will stand here—"

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly exclaimed, "It's born! It's born—"

next moment.

Spiritual energy surged and gathered, pouring into the nine Queen Bamboo Fungus plants, causing the white jade-like fruits on their canopies to quickly turn from white to blue.

A moment of effort.

A unique, refreshing aroma of fungi filled the air.

With the miraculous beauty of the crabapple blossoms preceding me, I am no longer overjoyed, only satisfied with the bountiful harvest.

It flapped its wings and flew closer, counting them in detail.

Although the Empress Bamboo Fungus God has not yet been promoted to Mountain Lord, he did not comb the fruit too hard. Its branches have nine buds, each bud bearing sixty fruits, totaling five hundred and forty fruits.

There were only ten bad fruits, but a total of 530 good fruits were obtained.

"Now we have the divinely bestowed fruit of the crescent moon—"

Zhu Yu was thinking about whether to go see the Lord of Crescent Moon Mountain when he suddenly sensed something, and his eyes lit up with joy.

"Three happy events have arrived!"

Before the Empress Zhusun could recover and ask for a new storybook, she turned around, flapped her wings, and flew away from the array space. After briefly clearing her aura, she flew into another array space.

Upon entering.

A voice, seemingly low and sorrowful, came from behind.

"Sazgei, did Ban's Eye of the Moon plan succeed?! Has the outside world become an illusion? Are you still Naruto's Sazgei?!"

Zhu Yu's joy instantly turned into speechlessness.

"You're more dramatic than the Empress, Hyacinth—"

Suppressing his speechless emotions, he flapped his wings and flew to the entrance of the wind tunnel. He took out one Life Stone after another, crushed them, and sprinkled them under nine peculiar mushrooms that were pale blue in color and shaped like straw hats.

She had just replied, "Hyacinth, how are you feeling?"

A few moments of silence followed.

Hyacinth's deep voice rang out.

"This is very bad—"

"Um?--"

Zhu Yu was taken aback, thinking that something was wrong with it, so he quickly checked it out. It turned out that the hyacinth was perfectly healthy and had no problems at all.

"Sass-gei, Naruto has been defeated by Ban—"

The hyacinth's voice remained low and showed no signs of ripening.

Zhu Yu was speechless for a moment, regretting telling it about the "Will of Hegemony", and quickly told it the ending.

"Project Eye of the Moon has failed."

"Ban was almost kicked to death by Kai in the night."

"Ban was ripped out of his heart by Black Zetsu, then parasitized by an old woman, and finally defeated by Sasuke and Naruto—"

As he spoke, he raised his arm, clenched his fist, and encouraged, "Naruto, you must believe in yourself, you are the best—"

"Giant Peak, what did you just say? Armor? That Armor with the bowl cut, he almost kicked Ban to death? And his heart and lungs were ripped out by Black Zetsu? Wasn't he Ban's pet? —"

Hyacinth is no longer depressed; all that remains is deep skepticism about the plot.

Zhu Yu chuckled inwardly and urged, "When your fruit is ripe, I'll draw you a whole book of 'The Will of the Overlord' someday."

"Really! Jufeng, you're so kind—"

Hyacinth was overjoyed.

Immediately, a passionate and energetic voice rang out.

"Nightbringer!—"

The strong wind suddenly stopped.

Nine peculiar mushrooms, pale blue in color and shaped like straw hats, suddenly had swirling vortexes appear on them.

In less than two breaths.

Fruits the size of rice grains, shaped like jade and glass, were ejected from the swirling wind.

Zhu Yu raised his hand and waved it, and the invisible spiritual energy of heaven and earth intercepted the divine fruits, scooped them up, and delivered them to him.

A short while later.

The whirlpool dissipated, and a sudden gale arose.

Hyacinth's voice sounded weakly.

"Kufeng, don't worry about Hyacinth. Go and draw! Draw the entire 'Will of Hegemony'!"

"Okay, Hyacinth, you should rest well. Once you're rested, you can transform into a Mountain Lord-level being—"

Zhu Yu nodded, gave a few words of advice, and then, urged on by the hyacinth, flapped his wings and flew away from the formation.

Arrived at the array space where miscellaneous items were piled up.

I did a quick inventory.

Hyacinths also failed to advance to the Mountain Lord level, and their fruit yield was low.

Its fruiting pattern is the same as that of the Queen Bamboo Fungus.

Perhaps due to a low mood, there were slightly fewer fruits, with a final yield of 508.

"Not bad, not bad—"

After counting the fruits, Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction.

After carefully storing the divinely bestowed "Hyacinth" fruit, he thought for a moment, cleansed his aura, and turned to enter the adjacent array space.

o

The space is over a thousand square meters.

The area is covered with a luminous white fungal carpet, with fine mycelium coiling and extending into the air, supporting a golden-white sphere that emits a luminous white glow.

Regarding his arrival.

The "Chaotian Mushroom" seems to have been a divine gift, as if it had never been seen.

"This shy little guy—"

Zhu Yu smiled inwardly, flapped his wings and flew into the air, scooped up the dodging "Upward-Facing Mushroom" Shenci, checked its condition to make sure it was alright, gently stroked the soft, warm, pinkish "Upward-Facing Mushroom" Shenci, and said with a smile, "Upward-Facing, did you miss your master—"

The "Heavenly Mushroom" swayed shyly, its powdery surface becoming even more pronounced, and a weak, childlike voice rang out.

"No--"

"Hmm? Is the little guy not going to want to get in the sun and rain? —"

"think."

"That's more like it."

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction, having teased the shy "Face-Up Mushroom" Shenci, and was in a great mood.

Immediately, he connected his divine sense with the formation and condensed more than a dozen rhomboid water mirrors, refracting the sunlight into the formation.

Gazing at the "Chaotian Mushroom" bathed in sunlight and rain, a divine gift.

Zhu Yu smiled, turned around and left the formation, cleaned himself of any remaining aura, and flew to the two crimson formation barriers.

I raised my hand and touched it.

Even with his current powerful physique, he felt a surge of heat.

"Didn't you say you were just going to take a nap? How come you've been sleeping for half a year now—"

Zhu Yu withdrew his arm, looked at the array barrier, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After he nurtured the "Fire Date" into a divine gift, Cai Ling told him that she wanted to take a nap, which he didn't pay much attention to at first.

But Cai Ling slept for longer and longer periods without any sign of waking up. At first, he was able to enter the array space to check, but as the flames spread, he could no longer even go in.

Fortunately, the flames did not continue to spread outwards.

Otherwise, he would have to consider moving the divinely bestowed spirits to a new home.

"Could Cai Ling be breaking through to the Lord level?

Zhu Yu looked worried and stood there for a while. Seeing that the barrier's color hadn't faded, he turned around and entered the space where the "Xifu Begonia" was divinely bestowed, and began to pick the fruit.

Not long.

After he had finished picking both of the divinely bestowed fruits, he piled them up.

As soon as they stepped out of the array space, they saw Firetail, White Hair, and Blackie chatting idly under the banyan tree.

"Firetail, White Hair, you're here—"

Zhu Yu flapped his wings and flew closer, calling out to him.

Just as I was about to mention the divinely bestowed fruit, Firetail said, "Giant Peak, Baldy's grandson sent word that the wild Giant Peak grape spirit seeds on Giant Peak Mountain are ripe. Are we going to hire spirit beasts and insectoid warriors from 'Giant Peak Market' to harvest them?"

Then, it slapped its forehead and said, "Oh, right, there's also a Ladybug Zerg warrior called Spotted who wants to find Giant Peak and makes a deal with him."

"Spotted ladybug warrior—"

Zhu Yu was puzzled for a moment, then immediately remembered who it was.

Last year, when the "Kyoho Grapes" ripened, it traded one "Sweet Potato" spirit seed for another "Kyoho Grape" spirit seed.

"Shall we make a deal?"

After thinking about it, I decided to go anyway.

Although he didn't think Spots could bring out anything of value, he was quite impressed with him and thought it was worthwhile to befriend him.

"Let's go take a look—"

Having made up his mind, Zhu Yu instructed the three-headed dog Hei Zi to guard the house, then flapped his wings and flew away as a streak of light, heading straight for "Giant Peak Mountain".

Firetail hurriedly jumped onto White Fur's back and followed.

"Kyoho Mountain".

The ripening of wild Kyoho grapes has attracted a large number of wild beasts, as well as spirit beasts and insect warriors, to gather at the foot of the mountain.

They were quiet, waiting as they always have.

When Zhu Yu appeared.

One voice after another rang out.

"The magnificent giant peak has arrived—"

"Kyoho, Peanut wants to help you harvest the fruit—"

"Even the wild dogs want to help the giant bee harvest its fruit—"

"And deer antlers—"

"——..——"

Zhu Yu listened to the sounds rising and falling below, but instead of finding it noisy, he felt very happy.

If this continues for a few years, he will be able to recruit these familiar spirit beasts and insect warriors to work for him in the White Water River Spirit Land.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and grabbed.

Suddenly, five "Kyoho Grapes" rose into the air, and with a wave of the hand, the dense fruits fell like rain.

Wow—so many—

"A magnificent, towering peak—"

Seeing this, Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction, flapped his wings and landed, and said to the Firetail, White Fur, Bald Head, Black Big White Two, the Hummingbird Couple, and the White Feather Couple who followed him, "If you see any good spirit beasts or insects, let them pick the Giant Peak grapes. The pulp is theirs, and you can share the fruit equally."

Looking at the cheering and happy spirit beasts, he smiled inwardly, then turned to the "Ladybug" warrior in the corner and asked, "Spotted, what kind of deal do you want to make with Megaloceros?"

Spotted strode forward, raised his head, and said, "Giant Peak, Spotted has found a wild, divinely bestowed spirit plant—"
