Chapter 427: Chapter 427 Spirit Fruit

Last time Li Xiaoyao left the little Peach Blossom Mountain, he had been thinking about finding some free time to come and plant the seeds. But it ended up being more than half a month before he had the opportunity.

This time he had the time, and it just so happened that Lin Yuanyuan was struggling with the issue of her family’s transformation direction, so Li Xiaoyao naturally brought her to take a look.

Li Xiaoyao had a plan in mind; it was very simple, to plant flowers and fruit on the little Peach Blossom Mountain—only the most common kinds.

The mountain top of Peach Blossom Mountain had an extremely rich spiritual land. Under such innate conditions, the cultivation of flowers, plants, and trees could achieve quite good results.

Of course, Li Xiaoyao’s ambitions didn’t stop there.

...

The flowers and fruit grown from ordinary spiritual land certainly contained Spiritual Energy, but the amount was quite small. Li Xiaoyao was preparing to set up a Spirit Gathering Array on the mountain top, which would double the effectiveness of the spiritual land. Anything that was grown here would have the effect of prolonging life.

There surely were other places in the world with spiritual land, but even so, Li Xiaoyao was confident that anything grown here would be unique.

Qian Zhengfa and Liang Wenshuo had their men wait at the foot of the mountain while a group of four made their way to the top.

The two knew Li Xiaoyao valued this mountain greatly, so on normal days, they had issued a strict order forbidding anyone from climbing Peach Blossom Mountain, with violators to be directly dismissed.

Under such punitive measures, no one would want to cross Qian, and naturally, only a few people knew of the existence of the spiritual land.

Muze City had just experienced a rain, making the mountain roads muddy and difficult to traverse.

Qian Zhengfa and Liang Wenshuo had often climbed the mountain recently and had consequently developed a decent physique. By comparison, Lin Yuanyuan was much less capable.

She, a young lady and a rich girl, seldom exercised. When had she ever walked such a difficult mountain path?

“Ah!” Lin Yuanyuan slipped and was about to fall when Li Xiaoyao reached out to steady her arm.

Lin Yuanyuan flung her arm, throwing off his hand, and said expressionlessly, “Thank you.”

Li Xiaoyao: “…”

It seemed this girl was angry.

Qian Zhengfa and the other exchanged glances, seeing the meaning in each other’s eyes, yet they tacitly maintained silence, walking far behind to leave space for the two of them.

An hour later, the four of them finally reached the mountain top.

Lin Yuanyuan stood on a patch of red earth, breathing in the fresh air, as if her entire person relaxed a great deal. The slight displeasure caused by Li Xiaoyao also gradually improved.

Li Xiaoyao, at some point, had come over and softly said, “Do you feel that the Spiritual Energy here is particularly rich?”

Lin Yuanyuan continued to ignore him, while Li Xiaoyao talked to himself, “What you’re stepping on isn’t ordinary soil, but spiritual land that contains Spiritual Energy. I’ve brought you here to show you something. This thing will directly change the main scope of the Lin Family’s operations in the future.”

“What thing?” As soon as it involved the development and transformation of the Lin Family, Lin Yuanyuan momentarily set aside her personal emotions.

Li Xiaoyao took out a few common fruit tree seeds, pointed his finger towards the red soil, and with a pulse of vigor, he shot a small hole in the ground. Then he dropped the seeds in and covered them with the red earth.

Lin Yuanyuan stared at the patch of spiritual land where the seeds were buried, her heart filled with many doubts, yet she did not voice them.

After a few minutes, the spiritual land still showed no reaction, and Li Xiaoyao frowned, saying, “The Spiritual Energy is still not enough.”

“You sit and rest for a while, I’ll be right over,” Li Xiaoyao said before turning and leaving.

Qian Zhengfa and another person stood not far from Lin Yuanyuan, their gazes following Li Xiaoyao the entire time.

Li Xiaoyao quickly circled the mountaintop, then nodded, took out a Spirit Stone, and tossed it to the ground at the Kun position, then walked over to the Kan position…

After making a round of the mountaintop, Li Xiaoyao had thrown down more than a dozen Spirit Stones. Ultimately, he went to the central position, broke open a part of the ground, and buried a pile of Spirit Stones there.

“Formation complete!” With a light shout, Li Xiaoyao suddenly clenched his hands into a seal, and strands of invisible energy burst forth from the Spirit Stones fixed in place, interconnecting to form a dome-shaped barrier of Spiritual Power.

An unceasing flow of Spiritual Energy converged from all directions, gathering within the Formation.

Lin Yuanyuan had the most direct feeling of this; she could clearly sense the nearly tangible Spiritual Energy in the air around her, continuously flowing into her mouth and nose.

Qian Zhengfa and Liang Wenshuo stared in astonishment at the sudden dramatic change atop the mountain. Although they didn’t understand what was happening, they could distinctly feel the surrounding air turning fresher and more comfortable.

Li Xiaoyao returned to Lin Yuanyuan’s side, looked down at the spot where the seed had been planted, and saw a sprout breaking through the soil.

The sprout was growing at a speed akin to fast-forwarding on a television, rapidly maturing.

In just a few minutes, under their astonished gaze, the sprout had already grown to the height of a person.

The growth continued; roughly half an hour later, the sprout had turned into a lush apple tree.

The apples, red and inviting, about the size of a fist, exuded an enticing fragrance that captured the senses.

“What’s going on!” The three of them stared in shock at the apple tree that had grown in just half an hour, their faces full of questions.

Li Xiaoyao casually plucked an apple and passed it to Lin Yuanyuan, saying, “Try it.” Then he said to Qian Zhengfa and the other person, “You two should try one as well, see how it is.”

Lin Yuanyuan took a skeptical bite, and rich juice spilled from the fruit’s flesh, fragrant and captivating. She was conquered by the flavor and couldn’t help but close her eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing this, Qian Zhengfa and Liang Wenshuo could not wait to take a bite themselves.

“Wow!” Liang Wenshuo’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at the ruby-like apples, revealing an unprecedented level of enjoyment.

“This rich fruity fragrance is just astonishing. This apple has an unparalleled fresh taste that makes one unable to stop at just one bite…” While Liang Wenshuo was still marveling, Qian Zhengfa had already finished one apple and was reaching for a second.

“Damn, eating so fast…” Liang Wenshuo couldn’t bother with sentimentality any longer; he devoured his apple in a few big bites and then went to pick apples as if robbing them.

Li Xiaoyao watched their reactions and knew that the fruit produced by the tree truly had surprising effects.

Lin Yuanyuan ate daintily but quickly. An apple that would normally take her five minutes to eat was gone in one.

“How is it?” asked Li Xiaoyao.

Lin Yuanyuan looked at the apple in her hand, then at him, and asked, “What’s going on?”

Li Xiaoyao pointed at the apple tree and said, “This is the transformation direction I suggested for you. What do you think?”
