Chapter 1230: Chapter 767: Double the Power

The sky over the magic city, which was originally calm and sunny, suddenly became overcast with dense clouds. In the next moment, before anyone could react, the city center of the magic city suddenly started flashing with lightning and booming with thunder.

There was no heavy downpour. The terrifying lightning came quickly but departed even quicker. As countless pedestrians in the magic city hastened their pace looking for places to hide from the rain, the dark clouds overhead suddenly dispersed, and the warm sunshine once again bathed the earth. Even a faint rainbow hung in the sky.

Inside the Emperor Xuan Villas at this time, the atmosphere was one of solemnity.

Hundreds of professional bodyguards, who had been hidden around, suddenly appeared, and even the Great Grandmaster Qin Lan, who was in closed-door cultivation, leaped into the air, vigilantly alert to every move in the surroundings.

However, following the strange phenomenon, what came next was not an abrupt attack; the entire Emperor Xuan Villas remained as tranquil and peaceful as before. Moreover, when a faint scent slowly started condensing, centered at Emperor’s Mansion Villa Number One, the entire area within ten kilometers was completely enveloped by a strange delightful fragrance,

At this moment, amidst the alertness of numerous bodyguards, the figure of Chu Mo finally appeared in the backyard of the villa.

He looked straight at the short Immortal Tree in front of him and the five Immortal Fruits on it emitting a magical fragrance, feeling somewhat confused for a while.

According to the previous description by the system, the Immortal Tree needed at least forty-nine days to grow. Chu Mo had previously given Wu Youyou fifty drops of Spiritual Water, just to have her take care of the Immortal Tree for forty-nine days.

But now, he had only been away for two hours, merely spending some time reading in the study, and the Immortal Tree had already grown, and what’s more miraculous, the Immortal Fruits had already borne fruit.

He looked at the excited Wu Youyou in front of him and gently asked:

“How did you do this?”

Wu Youyou, staring intently at the Immortal Fruits in front of her, swallowed hard before carefully saying:

“I just diluted the Spiritual Water you gave me with ordinary purified water and then watered the Immortal Tree with it!”

As soon as her words fell, Chu Mo immediately said in disbelief:

“That’s it?”

“Yes, just that!” Wu Youyou insisted, but after a moment, when she saw the look Chu Mo gave her, she seemed guilty and slowly lowered her head, then whispered:

“Well… I just asked Senior Tianya to infuse some Spiritual Energy… then used water filled with Spiritual Energy to irrigate the Immortal Fruits…”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo turned his eyes to Tianya across him. Seeing that this Half-step Celestial God now looked pale due to excessive consumption of Spiritual Power, even appearing hesitant to speak, Chu Mo sighed softly and shook his head, saying:

“Such nonsense.”

Wu Youyou, being a naive girl, naturally could be scolded by Chu Mo, but Tianya, being a Half-step Celestial God, deserved some respect, so Chu Mo refrained from saying much.

Turning his gaze back to the Immortal Fruits in front, Chu Mo noticed that although the Immortal Fruits on the tree were ripe, each was only the size of a fist, at least a size smaller than the one rewarded by the system previously. As time passed, the originally spreading fragrance also began to slowly fade, making the fragrance emitted by these five fruits somewhat inferior to the previous Immortal Fruit.

This was the first time Chu Mo encountered such a situation, and he didn’t know whether the frivolous actions of Wu Youyou and Tianya, who directly rushed the maturation of the Immortal Tree and fruits, were to blame, or if it was just because the system’s rewards were special and the real Immortal Fruits were just like this.

Unable to figure it out, Chu Xuan chose not to ponder it further.

He knew once the Immortal Tree ripened, it needed to be harvested and consumed quickly; otherwise, if more than twenty-four hours passed, the energy stored in the Immortal Fruits would diminish until completely gone.

At this moment, the peculiar fragrance had already attracted many onlookers, and Chu Mo did not want to cause further complications. He directly stepped forward, then carefully plucked the five fist-sized fruits.

As the last fruit was picked, a magical scene occurred. The branches and leaves of the Immortal Tree in front of them instantly fell off, and the previously one-meter-tall tree instantly withered.

Chu Mo did not know what was causing this and intended to consult the system thoroughly upon returning, so he did not delay any further. However, just as he was about to step away, he saw Wu Youyou’s widened eyes.

Stopping in his tracks, Chu Mo thought, since these five fruits had ripened so quickly because of Wu Youyou and Tianya’s efforts, and since the Immortal Tree could only last for twenty-four hours and could not be preserved for long, even if he could at most consume one, the remaining four fruits would be a waste in his hands.

With this thought in mind, he tossed one fruit to Tianya, and then, with Wu Youyou’s eyes wide open, Chu Mo slightly curved his lips, handing another fruit to the young girl.

As Chu Mo left with three fruits in his hand, holding one fruit, Wu Youyou swallowed hard. Without caring much, she directly stuffed the fruit into her mouth. As Wu Youyou bit down, an incredibly delicious fragrance instantly spread. At this moment, everyone in the Emperor Xuan Villas who smelled the fragrance simultaneously swallowed saliva.

Tianya, watching Wu Youyou gobble up the fruit without any preparation, slightly opened his mouth, originally wanting to remind her not to waste the precious fruit, but then he thought that since it was also his first time seeing such Immortal Fruits, even he did not know the proper way to consume them. Naturally, he could not instruct the young girl.
