Their commission was suspicious.

When Chen Luo picked the fruit and absorbed the essence of the plants and trees generated by the excessive abundance of plant energy in Jianmu Cave, the tree branch, which was over a meter tall, began to emit a vibrant green color.

Jingyuan seemed to hear the entire Jianmu tree emitting a mournful cry.

Then a flower bud appeared on that tree, which was over a meter tall.

The flower bud grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye and slowly bloomed.

Just a dozen seconds later, the flower bud fully bloomed, then withered completely, and then produced a small fruit.

"Is this fruit absorbing the life force of the Jianmu tree?" Jing Yuan keenly sensed something.

“That’s right, this bud was taken from the World Tree, but even so, it’s enough to suppress the Jianmu. In the days to come, it will use the Jianmu as a nutrient pack, constantly absorbing life and abundant energy to bear this fruit.” Chen Luo showed Jing Yuan the World Tree fruit in his hand.

However, the fruit of the World Tree is not like the fruit that grows on the real World Tree, which contains a world within it, but only a life force so vast that it can regenerate a person.

The World Tree transplanted by Jianmu Nei is more like a second-generation World Tree.

However, since Chen Luo's World Tree was not very large to begin with, the seeds it produced were not large enough to create a new World Tree, so it could only be considered a semi-finished product.

"Take this fruit away..." Jing Yuan forced his head away.

Jingyuan couldn't suppress his urge to eat the fruit again, but it was a fruit that grew from the Jianmu tree...

If you eat this, something terrible might happen.

"There's no need to be so averse to this fruit. Although it was nourished by the nutrients of the Jianmu tree, after being purified by the Tree of Life, it is simply an energy aggregate. Consuming it can extend one's lifespan by a thousand years and elevate one's life stage to a higher level, with effects no less than a thousand-year-old peach... probably."

Chen Luo had never seen a peach tree before, so how would he know what effects a peach tree could have?

So...do you want to eat?

"No, no need!" Jing Yuan refused firmly.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

"I really don't want to!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Here you go." Chen Luo tossed the fruit of the Tree of Life in his hand directly to Jing Yuan.

The mouth is too upright.

Your instincts are more credible than what you say.

No one can refuse this fruit, as long as their level of life has not yet reached its highest point.

The Tree of Life was the name Chen Luo gave to this tree, which grew from the tender shoots of the Tree of Life planted in other places.

Although the World Tree is still too immature and the potential of its buds is not high, it is still something that fell from the World Tree, so suppressing the Jianmu tree should not be a problem.

However, the fruits produced can only be consumed and will not show any tendency to grow into a global phenomenon.

However, besides being consumed, this fruit can also be buried in the soil as a nutrient pack to provide nutrients for the growth of the World Tree.

Because this is the fruit of the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Life originates from the World Tree, the World Tree can also directly absorb the fruit.

Jing Yuan, as if possessed, finally caught the fruit that Chen Luo threw to him.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Jing Yuan didn't want to, but he felt that even a scratch on the fruit would be disrespectful to this divine fruit.

"Here you go!" Jing Yuan, whose expression was as varied as if he had opened a dye shop, gritted his teeth and threw the fruit back to Chen Luo.

Jing Yuan still dared not eat the fruit, after all, it grew from the Jianmu tree.

Moreover, Jing Yuan had no need to eat this fruit.

Chen Luo said that if Jing Yuan had any problems with his demonic body, he could come to Chen Luo. If he wanted to live a little longer, he could also come to Chen Luo, and Chen Luo could help him materialize his soul for free, as long as Jing Yuan was willing to contribute his willpower to help Chen Luo cultivate...

As long as you have the will, anything is possible.

However, if Chen Luo is treated as an NPC for farming Soul Materialization, and those Cloud Cavalry soldiers come to Chen Luo to farm items, then after they obtain Soul Materialization, they will also be prohibited from joining the Immortal Boat Battlefield... This is what Chen Luo requires.

Whether you cultivate soul materialization or not, it won't help the Immortal Ship, so wouldn't it be a waste of time?

After Jingyuan made the choice to discard the fruit, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

I resisted the temptation...

Although it's fine not to resist this temptation, how can Jing Yuan, as the general of the Immortal Ship, be led by the nose like this?

This is also a test of one's character!

Jing Yuan, a smile playing on his lips, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Luo, who was smiling even more broadly.

Something is wrong!

Something's very wrong!

Jing Yuan suddenly realized something: he might have sent a commission to Chen Luo because he was too eager.

That's not the point. The point is that I put in the effort, but I didn't get anything in return.

"You didn't want this yourself." Seeing Jing Yuanchao looking over, Chen Luo hugged the fruit to his chest.

"..."

Jing Yuan then remembered something else: when Chen Luo gave the fruit to Jing Yuan, he didn't seem to have used his River God abilities.

Does this mean that Chen Luo never intended to give the fruit to Jing Yuan?

Or were they certain that Jingyuan would return the fruit?

"Chen Luo, have some decency!"

"One fruit a day is not the limit of the Tree of Life, but the limit of the Jianmu tree. The Jianmu tree is extremely closely related to your Luofu Immortal Ship. If I were to take the Jianmu tree away, it would inevitably have a significant impact on the Immortal Ship, and would also cause considerable panic. I can use the Armory Box to repair the entire Immortal Ship to mitigate the former impact, but the latter..."

"So after much thought, I've come up with a way to help your Luofu completely suppress Jianmu, preventing it from regaining its ability to cause trouble, without causing any panic."

The Immortal Boat Jianmu had long been one of the landmarks of the Luofu Immortal Boat, so its sudden disappearance would be rather strange.

Although this landmark isn't exactly a good thing, taking away the timber still requires waiting for approval.

Because the higher-ups at Immortal Ship could not determine whether Chen Luo would commit any evil deeds after taking the Jianmu. Moreover, the Jianmu was closely related to Immortal Ship.

Even if something is not good, he will not give it away easily.

How strange!

It's something you don't want, but others want it and you don't give it to them.

"So that's why you used the life force of the Jianmu tree to nourish the Tree of Life in order to obtain this fruit of life?"

“That’s right. It’s a win-win situation, so why not do it? The Jianmu tree is just sitting here anyway. Besides, taking one life fruit a day won’t have a big impact on the Jianmu tree; it will only weaken it little by little each day. Maybe before long, the Jianmu tree will completely wither and become just a decoration,” Chen Luo said.

The miracles of abundance are difficult to eradicate; each immortal ship contains a miracle of abundance, such as the miracle of abundance on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship, which is a moon.

In Li Sushang's words: The abundant miracles of your Luofu Immortal Ship are not as beautiful as the abundant miracles of our Yaoqing Immortal Ship!

The biggest problem with Jianmu for the Immortal Ship is that although the tree trunk is dead, its roots are still intertwined, and it seems to have become one with the entire Luofu Immortal Ship.

Taking away the Jianmu tree would have a significant impact on the Xianzhou people, but turning it into a dead tree would not be a problem.

Even if Jianmu dies, its branches won't shrink much and won't affect the overall layout of the Immortal Ship.

As Chen Luo said, the maximum that the Immortal Ship can bear is the one life fruit that the Tree of Life can produce per day, not the maximum that the Tree of Life can produce.

If the Tree of Life wanted to, it could easily produce four or five fruits a day.

Furthermore, there's no rule that only one Tree of Life can be planted on a Jianmu tree!

Theoretically speaking, it's feasible to squeeze the entire Jianmu tree dry in one day.

“Then this fruit…” Jing Yuan looked at the fruit, hesitating to speak.

"There are truly no side effects. I guarantee this in the name of my titles: Envoy of Abundance, Envoy of Hunting, Envoy of Destruction, Envoy of Pleasure, and Envoy of Preservation. If I am lying, may these five Star Gods..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I believe you!" Jing Yuan interrupted Chen Luo, afraid that Chen Luo would say something disrespectful.

After all, among the messengers Chen Luo mentioned earlier, there was one of his own patrolling star gods!

"Is it too late for me to get that fruit back now?" Jing Yuan asked.

“It’s too late, you didn’t want it yourself.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"..."

"Just kidding, here you go." Chen Luo threw the Fruit of Life into the illusory river of time and then tossed his physical body to Jing Yuan.

Chen Luo had already lost so much money, so naturally he didn't care about one or two more fruits of life.

If Chen Luo really wanted to make money off Jing Yuan, he should have sold the Corrupted Gold Coins for 100 Paradise Gold Coins instead of just 10 Paradise Gold Coins.

Jing Yuan caught the fruit of life and nodded.

This time, Chen Luo seems to genuinely want to give it.

Based on Jing Yuan's understanding of Chen Luo, if Chen Luo didn't throw the items into the river and reinforce them multiple times, Jing Yuan wouldn't feel secure obtaining the Fruit of Life.

There's definitely something fishy going on!

"What can I do with it?" Jing Yuan asked, looking at the plump, juicy fruit in his hand, a fruit that made one want to devour it at first glance.

"There are several ways to use it. For example, you can eat it directly, juice it, or can it. Or would you like me to peel it for you? But that will cost extra!"

Women leave their IDs, men strive for self-improvement!

It's one thing to peel fruit for Xiaoshi, but Jingyuan, how can a man like you have such a girlish heart?

"...I'm asking about the different uses of this fruit and its effects."

"Oh, you're asking about that? It's delicious! This fruit is absolutely delicious!"

"..."

"The biggest advantage of this fruit is that it tastes good. Other than that, it has minor advantages such as granting immortality, improving life level, curing difficult diseases, and replenishing energy."

"...Did you reverse the extra effects and the greatest advantage?"

"No. Because I can do those little advantages too, but this fruit is so delicious that it's unparalleled. Its greatest advantage is its deliciousness. Really, believe me. If you don't believe me, try it."

"Forget it, how can we just eat such precious fruit?"

"Hey, you really are... I'll just give you another one tomorrow, hurry up and eat it." Chen Luo threatened, clenching his fist.

"No, no need. I feel fine right now."

"Jingyuan, you don't want anything to happen to the Luofu Immortal Ship, do you?"

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Jingyuan bit into the fruit.

Although I don't know what Chen Luo is planning to do, I figure that eating this fruit won't have any side effects, and Chen Luo said he'll give me another one tomorrow, so I can eat it if I want.

Who doesn't like getting something for free?

"Ah~~"

Chen Luo moved a little further away from Jing Yuan, who was making the strange noise, with a look of disgust.

"Why are you acting like you've taken some kind of drug when you're just eating fruit?"

Chen Luo watched as Jing Yuan devoured the fist-sized fruit in a matter of seconds with incredible speed, then turned to look at the other two fruits in Chen Luo's hand.

Jing Yuan swallowed hard.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and Jing Yuan's eyes glazed over for a moment before returning to normal.

Chen Luo forcefully suppressed Jing Yuan's complicated thoughts.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"It's delicious."

"What else?"

"My body... is getting hot." Driven by his biological evolutionary instincts, Jing Yuan couldn't wait to devour the entire fruit after taking his first bite. However, after finishing it, Jing Yuan realized that he seemed to be too weak to handle the nourishment.

I should only eat one bite.

Just a small bite.
