Chapter 16: Centennial Red Fruit
Life in the Lin family's ancestral mountain has always been peaceful and harmonious, and Lin Changqing gradually grew up in such an environment.
Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Changqing was now in the space, looking at the fully ripe red fruit in front of him. He was so excited that he could hardly control himself, and it took him a while to calm down.
He took out the two jade boxes he had prepared, and put four of them in the smaller one. This was for himself and Chuyi.
The big jade box contains twenty pieces. This will be given to grandpa, who will distribute them to family members and will also deal with the rest.
Lin Changqing will make it clear to Grandpa that safety is the first priority. There will be a lot of these things in the future, so there is no need to take risks.
A treasure like the Hundred-Year Red Fruit cannot be taken continuously. Just like my second uncle had already eaten one, some of the medicinal power is still hidden in his body.
Then you have to wait for a while until it is completely digested before you can eat another one. Otherwise, eating it will waste your spiritual energy.
As for what Lin Changqing ate, it was more like Lin Changliu ate it than Lin Changqing. At that time, let alone the medicinal power hidden in the body, the blood and flesh were almost sucked dry, what else could be hidden.
After putting away the jade box, Lin Changqing couldn't wait to go out to find his grandfather.
He pulled Grandpa into the secret room and sealed it. He reached out and patted the storage bag, and took out the large jade box. With an unconcealed smile on his face, he handed the jade box to Grandpa and asked him to open it and take a look.
Grandpa looked at Lin Changqing with a puzzled expression, opened the jade box and looked at it. His eyes immediately widened. He looked back at the seal of the secret room and was relieved when he found that there was no problem.
He cast a spiritual eye spell on himself and looked at the jade box. Yes, there were still twenty hundred-year-old red fruits inside, not an illusion.
He was very familiar with this thing, having been in contact with it for almost forty years.
It was hard to believe this was true. He knew too well what this meant. It meant at least half a foundation-building pill. If given to his family, it meant that all of them would be able to quickly reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Grandpa looked at Lin Changqing, and Lin Changqing nodded.
Lin Fandao probably understood something in his mind.
Lin Changqing said, "Grandpa, you should come forward and distribute these things to the family members! You can also deal with the extra ones.
There will be a lot of this stuff in the future. So don't take any risks when handling it. Safety is the most important thing."
Grandpa tried to calm down his excitement and said, "I understand! First give one to each of your parents, your second uncle, and your aunt.
I will take the rest to other large markets and entrust Wanbao Pavilion to sell or auction them.
Wanbao Pavilion is spread throughout the entire world of immortal cultivation, and no bad rumors have been heard about Wanbao Pavilion.
This is the safest choice, but Wanbao Pavilion will charge a 10% fee. "
Lin Changqing nodded and said, "As long as it's safe, is Grandpa's Centennial Vermillion Fruit of no use to you?"
Grandpa shook his head, stroked the jade box and said, "It's a little useful, but it's a waste to give it to me. I can only get the equivalent of two or three Lingyuan Pills in medicinal power."
Three top-grade Lingyuan Pills only cost three hundred spirit stones, and the auction price of this hundred-year-old Zhu fruit is between 1500 and 2000 spirit stones. Even if Wanbao Pavilion takes a 1350% cut, there will still be 1800 to spirit stones.
So we can’t use it this way, every bit of savings counts.”
Lin Changqing said with a serious face: "Grandpa, don't waste it. Another batch will mature in a little over half a year, and we will have a lot in the future.
Don’t be afraid of wasting it. I will only feel relieved if your strength is high.”
Grandpa's hands trembled when he heard this, and it was obvious that he was very excited.
Grandpa said to Lin Changqing with a serious face: "Don't say such things in front of anyone again.
This includes your future Taoist partner. Do you understand?
You should know it yourself. Actually, you shouldn't have told me. There are so many magical secrets in the world of immortal cultivation that you can't even imagine. The more people know, the more dangerous it is.
As far as I know, there are people who have clairaudience and soul-searching skills, which may know your secret. So don't talk about it anymore in the future." Lin Changqing nodded and said seriously: "I understand, Grandpa. I won't do it again in the future."
Grandpa nodded and asked, "Is there anything you need?"
"Yes, we need seedlings or seeds of high-grade spiritual plants and medicinal herbs. We also need some spiritual stones." Lin Changqing quickly listed what was needed.
Grandpa thought about it, nodded and said: "Inside the Baicao Garden, there is actually a small area hidden by the formation, and there is a third-grade top-quality earth soul fruit tree in it.
I found it by chance in a dangerous place when I was traveling after I successfully established my foundation. It was a small seedling that had just sprouted when I found it.
It has been incubated for more than 40 years, and it is just beginning to bloom. Grandpa may not even be able to wait until it matures and bears fruit. If I give it to you, will it be useful?"
Lin Changqing thought about it and nodded: "It should be useful, but it will require more spirit stones."
Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand. I will give priority to collecting high-quality seedlings and spirit seeds for you."
Coming out of his grandfather's house, Lin Changqing thought for a moment and came to the family scripture pavilion.
He easily found the area of classics about spiritual plants and began to look for records about the Earth Soul Fruit Tree.
After searching for a while, I finally found a related book. I found a comfortable seat and began to carefully study the relevant information about the Earth Soul Fruit Tree.
The Earth Soul Fruit Tree is a third-grade, top-grade spiritual plant. It takes three hundred years to bloom, three hundred years to bear fruit, and three hundred years for the fruit to mature. The recuperation period is one hundred years. The entire cycle takes a thousand years. No wonder Grandpa has been nurturing it for decades but it is still just in the flowering period.
The fruit is purple and has a light fragrance that is refreshing. A maximum of twelve fruits are produced at a time.
It is a supreme treasure for Purple Mansion cultivators to increase their soul power. It can be directly swallowed and refined to increase soul power. It is effective if swallowed multiple times.
It can also be refined with the Ice Crystal Flower to create the third-grade top-grade elixir, the Earth Soul Ice Heart Pill, which has the miraculous effect of suppressing inner demons and enhancing soul power.
If a cultivator in the foundation-building stage is lucky enough to obtain the Earth Soul Fruit, he cannot swallow it all at once to refine it. If he swallows it all at once, his sea of consciousness may be broken. It is recommended to adjust the number of times you call it according to the strength of your soul power.
Basically, it is recommended to take it in eight times in the early stage of foundation building, in four times in the middle stage of foundation building, and in two times in the late stage of foundation building. You can adjust it according to the actual effect.
It doesn't mention how to take it during the Qi Refining Stage, so I guess people think that one can't get the Earth Soul Fruit during the Qi Refining Stage!
Qi Refining cultivators basically have to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before those with strong mental power can awaken their spiritual consciousness in advance.
It is already very impressive for the spiritual consciousness of the Qi Refining Stage to reach ten feet. Ten feet is equivalent to 30 meters.
The effective range of Lin Changqing's fireball technique is only fifteen meters, and this is the result of his strong mental strength in two lifetimes. If Lin Changhao, Lin Changjie and others were to come, the range might be just over ten meters.
The range of the divine consciousness in the early stage of foundation building is about 120 feet, in the middle stage of foundation building it is about 250 feet, and in the late stage of great perfection it is about 500 feet. By analogy, it is only possible to fly a sword for hundreds of miles to take someone's head when you reach the golden elixir stage.
In fact, when Lin Changqing heard about the Earth Soul Fruit Tree, the first person he thought of was Lin Changliu.
Because of the serious loss of his essence, Lin Changliu's consciousness is very weak now. The Earth Soul Fruit has the effect of enhancing soul power. If Lin Changliu takes it, it should have some effect.
Thinking of this, I felt a flash of joy in my heart.
However, Lin Changqing knew that this was Lin Changliu's feedback to him, and he was used to it. It was not strange at all.
Moreover, Lin Changqing also wanted everyone in his family to take the Earth Soul Fruit, and he had already thought of a way.
Try it yourself first to determine the right amount. Anyway, your own sea of consciousness cannot be broken. At worst, you can just use the space mark to transfer the excess soul power into the space. You can't break the space!
There is another question, that is, Lin Changqing's practice method, the Five Elements Return to Origin Sutra, only has the Qi Refining Stage part. When Grandpa goes to Wanbao Pavilion, he can ask if there are any subsequent practices, or find other practices that suit him to replace them.
I'll tell Grandpa about it next time I see him! Grandpa should be busy distributing the Centennial Red Fruits now.
This time, my aunt should be able to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and my mother should be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. My second uncle may have to wait for a while before he can take it again.
It's a pity that my father has gone out to hunt monsters. Otherwise, he could have advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining. I hope he can come back safely soon.
