Their commission was suspicious.

Unlike when the seal was broken, when the seal was repaired, Dan Heng was unable to mobilize the authority of the Dragon Lord, and the waters of the ancient sea showed no signs of movement.

"Hmm, what's wrong? You look troubled?" Bai Lu asked.

Bai Lu was also very interested in Dan Heng, another reincarnation of the Dragon Lord, and her attitude was very friendly.

Danheng wanted to try again, but when Bailu Fulinxin began to recite the prayer in Danheng's tone, the ancient sea rippled.

Dan Heng's expression shifted, and then, together with Bai Lu, who had recited half a sentence, they began to restore the seal.

"To revive the Ruomu tree and quell the plague, the waters of the ancient sea, by the command of the Dragon Lord, shall suppress the Xuan Gen here!"

A flash of light appeared on the Jianmu Xuangen, and the dragon-shaped Jianmu Xuangen regained its magnificent and imposing appearance.

Moreover, a rainbow appeared on the dragon-shaped mystic root.

"You... you did it. No need for outsiders' approval, this alone is enough to prove that you are the true Dragon Lord." After doing all this, Dan Heng said to Bai Lu, who had always felt that she was not suitable to be the Dragon Lord.

"Is the seal on the Jianmu tree complete now?"

"Yes, now unless I reopen the Xuan Root seal, no one can enter or leave the Xuan Root. This is foolproof." Dan Heng nodded.

"Hiss!" A strange sound rang out, and a black crack appeared in front of the Jianmu Xuan Root.

"Who's so wicked? I was picking fruit, and they just blocked the door from the outside!" Chen Luo walked out of the Jianmu Xuangen in frustration.

"...Is this what you meant by 'absolutely foolproof'?" Bai Lu turned to look at Dan Heng.

"...He was the one who made the mistake."

"???"

P.S.: A new volume will be started in a couple of days, with chapters after chapter 2000 placed in the next volume. This won't affect your reading experience. It's not for any other reason than simply because I'm worried that having too many chapters in one volume might cause lag when you open the table of contents.

Volume Two (Chapter 2001~???)

Chapter 2001 White Dew: A Fruit That Can Make You Grow Taller? I Want to Eat It!

"Oh, I thought someone had closed the seal while I was picking fruit in the Xuangen," Chen Luo said, tossing the fruit of the Tree of Life in his hand.

Honestly, the user-friendly plugin didn't even remind me of this...

Although this was hardly a predicament for Chen Luo.

"What...did you plant in the Jianmu Xuangen?" Dan Heng couldn't help but ask, looking at the fruit in Chen Luo's hand.

How can this person touch anything? You can even use something as dangerous as Jianmu (a type of timber) as a fruit plantation?

Aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating it?

"As you can see, the fruit of the Tree of Life can extend one's lifespan by a thousand years... Just kidding. But adding a hundred or so years to one's lifespan is definitely achievable. Ah, I mean for the people of the Immortal Ship," Chen Luo explained.

The people of the Immortal Ship have strong vitality to begin with, so even if they eat the fruit of the Tree of Life that is formed by extracting power from the Jianmu tree, it won't be of much help.

However, the advantage of this fruit over the power of the Abundant Star God is that it has no side effects and will not produce anything like a demonic body.

"Ah..." From the moment Chen Luo appeared, Bai Lu's gaze remained fixed on the fruit of the Tree of Life in Chen Luo's hand, never leaving it.

Because the essence of the Jianmu tree and the Tree of Life is extremely high, ordinary people will have an urge to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life when they see it; this is an instinct of biological evolution.

But Bai Lu was different. As the Wisdom Dragon Venerable, although she hadn't fully inherited everything from Dan Heng, she was still a particularly outstanding member of the Wisdom Clan's immortal descendants, even if she only inherited a portion. Bai Lu kept staring at the fruit simply because it looked delicious.

Pure craving, ultimate enjoyment!

"Want some?" Chen Luo held the fruit of the Tree of Life up to Bai Lu's face, and just as she was about to take a bite, he suddenly took the fruit away.

"I want to eat..." Bai Lu wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Here you go." Chen Luo tossed the fruit directly to Bai Lu.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"I won't be polite anymore!"

"Ouch!" Bai Lu took a bite, only to find nothing.

Because the fruit of the Tree of Life had somehow reappeared in Chen Luo's hands.

“Oh, I just remembered, I think I reserved this fruit for Jing Yuan,” Chen Luo said.

"...Wah!" Bai Lu burst into tears.

This adult is really going too far!

What's the difference between you and those stinky adults who put candy in front of your mouth, ask if you want some, and then suddenly take it away or even put it in their own mouth when you want some?!

[Alright, alright, alright! Start by stealing the little girl's lollipop, then steal her fruit later. Don't forget your original intentions! Don't forget your original intentions!]

"Give the fruit to Bailu!" the pioneer roared.

Aren't you bullying a child?

And thinking about it more deeply, isn't Chen Luo just doing a lot of commissions?

Although I gave you the fruit, I didn't say you couldn't take it back... right?

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't mean to bully a child, but this first fruit does indeed belong to Jingyuan. However, I can pick a few more fruits for you. Wait a moment." After Chen Luo finished speaking, he put the fruits into his backpack and then plunged back into the Jianmu Xuangen.

For Chen Luo, the seal at the root of the Jianmu tree was practically nonexistent.

A moment later, Chen Luo came out carrying a pile of fruit and distributed them to everyone present.

Although Chen Luo originally planted only one Tree of Life in Jianmu, it did not prevent him from planting several more and then using the River of Time to accelerate their growth.

It won't take up much of Chen Luo's time.

The only one that might be injured is Jianmu, which has lost a lot of its power, but nobody cares.

Upon obtaining the fruit of the Tree of Life, Bai Lu's first reaction was to take a bite of it, fearing that Chen Luo would snatch it back.

After realizing that Chen Luo was indeed not making any moves, Bai Lu quietly and slowly began to enjoy the remaining fruit.

"It's delicious." Bailu nodded repeatedly, impressed by how delicious the fruit was.

Moreover, a warm current flows through Bai Lu's meridians, nourishing her body.

From a purely rational perspective, the Vidyadharas do not need to increase their lifespan in their reincarnation, so when they receive the fruit of the Tree of Life, they begin to help the other person increase other aspects.

such as……

"Is it just my imagination? I feel like Xiaobailu has grown taller." Xing tilted her head, holding the fruit.

"real or fake?"

"Really, this fruit can help you grow taller while you're still growing... maybe by about one centimeter?"

"Great! I want to eat more!" Bai Lu was very excited when she heard this.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"No, you should understand the principle that a weak body cannot tolerate strong tonics, Bai Lu, as a doctor. So... eat it tomorrow."

Chen Luo wasn't unwilling to earn raw stones; he was simply concerned for Bai Lu's health.

“…Okay.” Bai Lu nodded somewhat dejectedly.

"You're not going to make money off the raw stones?" Xing looked at Chen Luo with some surprise, as did Dan Heng.

"...You're making it sound like I'm guaranteed to make money just because I have raw stones. I still have some missions in my inventory that I could have completed but haven't." Chen Luo glanced at the two of them.

Chen Luo would not undertake these tasks unless it was a special occasion.

Let's just consider it a backup, hidden energy source.

The request to turn Loki into a puppet falls into this category, as does the request to kill the Night King.

The Night King is now filled with regret, deep regret.

Why did I accidentally post such a request? Now I have to worry every day that Chen Luo might suddenly have a fit and stab me to death.

"Bai Lu, do you want to eat the Fruit of Life because it tastes good or because it can make you grow taller?" Chen Luo asked, stroking Bai Lu's head.

Chen Luo liked to touch the little girl's head, as well as the doll's head; it felt very comfortable to rub.

Chen Luo once heard the Human Nature plugin complain that only otaku who have never touched a little girl's head would think that a little girl's head would make her feel comfortable.

But with the introduction of the head pat, this has become a reality.

"I want both!"

"Well... if you want to grow taller, come to the bar tonight and I'll bury you in the ground to help you grow. If you just want to eat it because it tastes good, come to the bar tonight; there's a banquet there, and there will be the Fruit of Life," Chen Luo said.

This is a celebration banquet that Chen Luo prepared for Alicia.

That indescribable drink was specially prepared by Chen Luo for this banquet, but Chen Luo dares not drink it now.

Once you drink it, it's hard to say whose bed you'll wake up in the next morning.

Chen Luo placed star cores on the gold and silver Jianmu wood he had taken from the gold and silver immortal boat and planted a large number of life trees, also in order to provide enough fruit platters for this banquet.

The bar is getting more and more customers, but considering the output over two days, it shouldn't be a problem for each person to get two Tree of Life fruits.

Adding more people wouldn't be a problem.

“However, since this is a bar, the Life Fruit will only taste good, it won’t help you grow taller,” Chen Luo said.

"I want to go!" Bai Lu immediately raised her hand.

"Alright, see you at 8 pm tonight." Chen Luo said, holding the remaining few Tree of Life fruits in one hand.

Ordinary fruits from the Tree of Life are enough to extend the lifespan of ordinary people by a thousand years, let alone the fruits from the Golden and Silver Trees of Life.

While the fruit of the Tree of Life (Gold and Silver Trees) can indeed extend lifespan for ordinary people, it's more likely that they will suffer from adverse effects due to the excessive nourishment...

Although the bar's patrons are not ordinary people, the fruit of the Golden and Silver Tree of Life greatly alters the level of vitality, which may cause some harm to the bar's patrons. Therefore, eating the fruit of the Golden and Silver Tree of Life in the bar is merely a matter of satisfying one's craving, as the vitality contained within will dissipate on its own.

waste?

There's nothing to waste.

After all, Chen Luo had prepared two fruits for each person.

The silver one is for indulging in culinary delights at the bar, while the gold one is for taking home and enjoying at your leisure.

"What do you think about treating everyone to Paradise Coins tonight?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

After all, once there's a fruit platter, there's bound to be a proper meal.

“I suggest you stop suggesting. Eating Paradise Coins in the bar without disabling safety mode won’t increase your soul capacity, and eating too many after disabling safety mode will cause soul mutation… Although Paradise Coins do taste good, why not eat other food?” Xing rejected Chen Luo’s suggestion.

"Alright... I'll check my inventory to see if there's anything high-end or nice. It's a rare occasion to hold a banquet in a bar, so naturally we should give everyone the most prestigious experience," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"So the most luxurious enjoyment you're talking about is feeding us lumps of iron?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You've eaten Paradise Gold Coins before. They're crunchy and delicious. Plus, you can use them to kill people."

“That’s the biggest problem,” Xing complained.

While Paradise Adventurers wouldn't need Paradise Coins to fight enemies—since they could simply buy a Doll Coin—Doll Coins would require real-name registration for future circulation, whereas Paradise Coins wouldn't.

Therefore, if an outsider wants to deal with a monster or invader, the best way is to use the Paradise Coins they bought to make bullets and then shoot the other party.

As long as the dollification content in the Paradise Gold Coin Bullet is high enough, you can directly turn the opponent into a Paradise Adventurer.

Paradise adventurers will not become invaders.

Therefore, the crisis was resolved.

However, while injecting Paradise Coins into someone's body will indeed cause their soul to mutate, it won't happen instantly. So it will take some time before they become a Paradise Adventurer.

For example... the Ninth Herrscher who was hit by two shots containing 600 gold coins each, for a total of 1200 Paradise Gold Coins.

“Alright, I’ll think of another way, but before that, I need to deliver the remaining two fruits to Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo originally planned to give the fruit to Jing Yuan, and then snatch it back from Jing Yuan to give to Fu Xuan, but since so many Life Tree fruits have been produced this time, there is no need to go through all that trouble.

"Then... goodbye?"

"Goodbye what? Don't you have anything to say?" Chen Luo asked while eating the raw stones after putting the fruit into his backpack.

The food they ate was the raw stone from the request Bai Lu had made earlier because she wanted to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life.

In Chen Luo's perception, this raw stone tasted even better than eating the fruit of the Tree of Life directly.
