“Is your hundred tastes fruit sweet?”
“Sweet.”
“Turn your face over.”
“Alright, the taste is a bit strange....”
Xiao Li had just taken a bite of the hundred tastes fruit. He guessed his handsome face probably looked like a twisted pig’s face right now, so he turned his head to the side.
How should he put it? He tasted ‘Vicissitudes’ (vicissitudes of life) from this fruit. Is this a taste a fruit should have?
He really shouldn’t have eaten food given to him by Ice Cube....
But then again.
How could a cold and aloof Ice Cube hold a heart out to you? What kind of cadre could withstand such a test?
“When I eat it...”
Ying Bing took another small bite of her fruit, her cheeks moving slightly. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
“It’s quite sweet.”
“Then I’ll try yours.”
Li Mo suspiciously leaned his head over, took a bite of the fruit in her hand, and then looked as if he had eaten a black plum or a large plum, his expression contorted.
“Ice Cube, you’re killing a thousand enemies and harming yourself a thousand....”
Li Mo opened his mouth, wanting to spit it out.
Slap—
A delicate hand covered his mouth, cold to the touch.
Xiao Li’s eyes widened. He clearly saw the girl’s lips slightly curved, with a faint dimple.
Ice Cube had learned to be bad. freёwebnovel.com
Since she didn’t play by the rules, Xiao Li didn’t have to be a gentleman either.
“This fruit...”
Ying Bing was about to explain, but a warmth came from her palm, like a subtle electric current, flowing through her entire body.
She couldn’t help but purse her lips and subtly retract her swan-like neck.
“Humph, humph...”
Xiao Li was feeling smug.
Suddenly, he felt a warmth surge from his Dantian, reaching his heart.
What flowed into his heart, causing ripples in his heart lake... was it emotion?
He seemed to see a young man and woman standing under the Marriage Tree. He was full of vigor, saying he would go to Nanguan to achieve great deeds and return home to make her a general’s wife. But when the young woman returned, only a white mourning dress remained, and she hung a bamboo plaque on the treetop.
There were also childhood sweethearts, happy and complete, who promised to be together for life under the Marriage Tree, but were separated by war. They reunited under the tree to pray when their hair was white, yet they didn't recognize each other.
There was also a young monk who skipped morning lessons to play, but under the Marriage Tree, he met the most beautiful and dreamlike Azure Luan bird he had ever seen in this world.
Later, he became the abbot of Hanging Temple, spending half his life trying to forget that single second...
These were the tastes he had savored.
“This fruit contains the power of all living beings, the hundred flavors of life, hence it’s called the hundred tastes fruit.”
“It has a miraculous effect on strengthening the Yi Soul.”
Accompanying the girl’s voice was the clear radiance of the Taiyin and the divine light of the Jade Phoenix.
Thus, in the ocean of emotions, Li Mo’s original heart no longer wavered.
Maintaining the Ming Jiaolong body, or any other Yao Race transformation, had always been ineffective when cultivating the Yi Soul.
But Li Mo now felt his Yi Soul stirring.
And the effect was immediate, surpassing all the Heaven And Earth Treasure he had eaten before.
The cold little hand was also removed.
“Power of all living beings?”
Xiao Li could finally speak normally.
“Yes, by receiving incense and the beliefs of others, one can accept the power of all living beings.”
Ying Bing curled her fingertips, putting her small hands behind her back, and said nonchalantly:
“The method of ‘Guan Shen’ usually involves devouring the power of all living beings to strengthen the Yi Soul.”
“Like those Half-demons, for example.”
Li Mo pondered.
He finally knew what he had seen on the Wuling that day. No wonder they asked Wu Dameng to act; by analogy, fear would also generate the power of all living beings.
When those common people became afraid, they would worship and rely on the so-called Wuling even more, providing more faith.
He had only taken two bites of the hundred tastes fruit, and the strengthening of his Yi Soul was visible to the naked eye.
If he could obtain it long-term, how fast would his cultivation progress be?
As if sensing his thoughts, Ying Bing said seriously:
“This shortcut has great drawbacks; otherwise, the Demon Summoning Sect wouldn’t be a demonic sect.”
“Ah? Then the fruit we ate...”
“The hundred tastes fruit blossoms and bears fruit over thousands of years and is extremely pure. Eating one is fine.”
Li Mo finally relaxed.
Looking at the fruit in his hand, he knew this thing was very precious. If he ate it all, he probably could break through a realm.
He tried to force himself to eat it, but he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to help but throw up.
“Ice Cube, help me.”
“Hmm.” Ying Bing thought he meant Dual Cultivation, so she reached out to take his hand.
Li Mo shook his head, pouting: “Here.”
He figured covering it himself wouldn’t be very effective.
Ying Bing pursed her delicate lips: “You can cover it with something else; it’s the same.”
“This fruit is too unpalatable. If it’s not with something delicious, I can’t eat it.”
Li Mo was serious. He had just thought about the entire process of eating that bite of hundred tastes fruit.
“?”
Ying Bing looked at him expressionlessly. Why didn’t he just ask her to put her foot in his mouth?
But she lowered her gaze and thought for a moment. In the end, she couldn’t resist his gentlemanly demeanor. She just considered it touching his face.
“No sticking out your tongue...”
“I promise!”
Li Mo said decisively, his eyes firm.
Unless he couldn’t help it.
And so.
Xiao Li and Ice Cube’s new Dual Cultivation position +1.
“Hmm? What are they doing?”
Murong Xiao had been looking for Li Mo for a long time. He was about to leave the Southern Frontier with Hanging Temple soon and wanted to bid farewell to Brother Li.
Wu Qing, Murong Feng, and his parents came with him. They immediately stopped when they saw the scene before them, and casually pulled back their son who was about to go forward and ask questions.
“They are cultivating.” Murong Feng coughed lightly.
“Hmm?”
Murong Xiao looked at his parents in confusion. Not to mention seeing it, he had never even heard of such a cultivation posture.
But his mother also nodded. Since both parents said so, Murong Xiao believed it.
“I wasn’t full yet. I wanted Brother Li to make some more food, his food is so delicious.”
“And now?”
“It seems I’m not that hungry anymore.”
Murong Xiao looked at his loving parents, and the two cultivating nearby, and rubbed his shiny bald head.
Suddenly.
A faint ripple came.
“Breaking through? Are they really Dual Cultivating?”
Murong Feng was stunned.
“Wu... Li Mo, this little fellow, has reached the fourth aperture of Guan Shen?” Wu Qing’s eyes widened slightly.
Murong Xiao: “?”
So it wasn’t just now?
A childhood not fooled by parents is incomplete. At this moment, Murong Xiao’s childhood was much more complete.
Congratulations.
The next moment.
The divine light of the Jade Phoenix burst forth. Li Mo decided to strike while the iron was hot, taking advantage of the momentum of breaking through to the fourth aperture of Guan Shen to continue perfecting his Seventy-Two Transformations.
And Ying Bing, to gather the Divine Intention of a hundred birds and condense the Phoenix God, also needed to accept the many true spirits within the jade phoenix god.
The divine light shone brightly, and many true spirits manifested, creating a myriad of phenomena that illuminated the Water Clan’s Grotto-Heaven.
“Dad, Mom, you...”
“Son, don’t talk, Guan Shen.”
Murong Feng immediately pressed his son down, making him sit cross-legged.
Wu Qing, on the other hand, went to inform the other Water Clan members, telling ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) them to quickly come closer to absorb the divine jade true spirits and enhance their Bloodline Power.
