Chapter 1231: Chapter 767: Double Power_2

Moreover, the Immortal Fruit is a heavenly treasure that countless people seek but cannot obtain; if I am too cautious, I may inadvertently cause mishaps instead.

With this thought, Chu Mo hesitated no longer. He opened his mouth wide and, imitating Wu Youyou, bit off half of the Immortal Fruit in one go.

As a peculiar fragrance wafted to his nose, Chu Mo only felt a highly pure Spiritual Power surge from his belly through every limb and bone in an instant. In just a moment, his previously depleted Spiritual Power was replenished, and the residual Spiritual Power began transforming his meridians. At this moment, a touch of wild joy flashed in Chu Mo’s eyes as he sat down cross-legged and began desperately refining the terrifying Spiritual Power.

However, before starting the refinement of Spiritual Power, Chu Mo took one last look at Wu Youyou opposite him…

Seeing that she had swallowed an Immortal Fruit without any awareness, and that the exceedingly pure Spiritual Power was dissipating without a container to hold it, Chu Mo suddenly felt a heart-wrenching sensation.

The Immortal Fruit consumed by Wu Youyou could even allow a senior Great Grandmaster to advance to a Half-step Grandmaster, but after she took it, most of the Spiritual Power was completely wasted, and she couldn’t even utilize one percent of it…

With a heavy sigh in his heart, Chu Mo sighed deeply and then closed his eyes; if he couldn’t see it, his heart wouldn’t hurt so much!

While Chu Mo was focused on refining the Spiritual Power, Chu Mo had already returned to the study on the third floor of Emperor’s Mansion Villa Number One.

He placed the three fruits in front of him, gave them a careful look, and asked in his mind:

“System, are these three fruits Immortal Fruits?”

“Responding to the host, these are only semi-mature Immortal Fruits, because the divine tree was grown in haste and did not go through the regular growth of seven-seven forty-nine days, so the fruits produced are only half-formed.

If they were fully mature Immortal Fruits, there would be extraordinary phenomena when the Immortal Fruits ripen, with three bolts of heavenly lightning descending to strike the fruits. Only those Immortal Fruits that withstand the baptism of heavenly lightning are truly mature and perfect.”

As the voice of the system in his mind concluded, Chu Mo suddenly remembered the recent thunder and lightning.

Only at this moment did he understand why the thunderstorm was so bizarre earlier, but it was also precisely because these were semi-mature Immortal Fruits that the heavenly lightning coalesced but dispersed automatically instead of striking down directly.

If the heavenly lightning had fallen, Chu Mo feared that both Wu Youyou and Chu Mo would have been severely injured, and even his own Emperor’s Mansion Villa Number One might have been implicated.

While he felt relieved in his heart, he also harbored some regrets.

However, after a moment’s consideration, and looking at the Immortal Fruits in front of him, Chu Mo asked again:

“System, right after I picked the Immortal Fruits, the divine tree withered entirely. Can that divine tree still blossom and bear fruit to its limit?”

“Replying to the host, the divine tree is not dead, but has entered a dormant state. As long as the host continues to irrigate it with Yaochi Water, Immortal Fruits can be obtained again.”

Having received the answer he wanted, Chu Mo was able to put his mind at ease.

There is only one seed of the Immortal Fruit; if that divine tree had just died like that, it would have been a great loss.

However, Chu Mo also had a plan in mind; if he wanted to continue nurturing Immortal Fruits, all he needed to do was to exchange for Yaochi Water from the system’s shop for irrigation.

But this time, he certainly could not entrust the task to that girl Wu Youyou again.

He must find someone meticulous and truly trustworthy for the job.

As Chu Mo pondered in silence, his nose caught a whiff of that peculiar scent again.

Swallowing saliva quietly and unable to endure any longer, Chu Mo directly picked up a fist-sized Immortal Fruit and bit down on it.

Instantly, an even richer fragrance drifted through the room, and at the same time, a gentle warmth swept through his limbs and bones.

At this moment, Chu Mo suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. He concentrated and then recalled that previously, when he obtained the Sharira from Shaolin Abbot Grandmaster Zhishang, whenever he faced danger, the Sharira would automatically safeguard him by releasing a strange energy to protect him.

It was only recently that Chu Mo understood that the energy contained within the Sharira was not solely Spiritual Power but also the mental strength of generations of Shaolin monks.

Unlike the Sharira, whose energy would return after protecting him, the energy from the Immortal Fruit circulated within his body and then most of it slowly vanished, leaving perhaps not even one-thousandth remaining in his body, a much greater waste compared to the average person Chu Mo, let alone someone like Wu Youyou.

If Tianya were to witness this scene, watching an Immortal Fruit capable of creating a Half-step Celestial God being squandered carelessly by Chu Mo, one wonders if he would actually cough up blood.

Of course, Chu Mo couldn’t care less about Tianya’s feelings. He gulped down the fist-sized Immortal Fruit in no time.

However, clearly one Immortal Fruit was far from enough even to fill the gaps between his teeth. Just as he was reaching for the second one, he noticed Qin Lan’s resentful gaze fixed on him from beside his window.

The hand that was already halfway there stopped abruptly.

Then, Chu Mo, who had been ready to gobble down the next fruit, chuckled and said:

“I was going to save one for you anyway, now that you’re here it saves me the trouble of sending for you, come and take it.”

With those words, he tossed an Immortal Fruit out of the window.

Qin Lan, who had been floating in midair, clearly did not expect Chu Mo to be so generous. An invaluable treasure like the Immortal Fruit was tossed out of the window as if it were just trash.

Even for a mid-tier Great Grandmaster like Qin Lan, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, her body staggered, and she nearly couldn’t control the surge of Innate True Qi within her, almost falling from the sky.

Still, as a Grandmaster-grade Martial Artist, Qin Lan quickly recovered from her initial shock, used her True Qi to envelop the Immortal Fruit immediately, and held it carefully in her hands as if it were a fragile treasure.

After sweetly smiling at Chu Mo, she transformed into a shadowy figure and then vanished from sight instantly.

Obviously, she had seen the scene of Tianya absorbing Spiritual Energy and knew the value of the Immortal Fruit; with it, her advancement to a higher-tier Great Grandmaster was almost a certainty…!

By this time, Qin Lan had already left to seclude herself for cultivation and would probably not appear for a while.

Chu Mo, observing the last Immortal Fruit, fell into deep thought.

There were only five Immortal Fruits in total. Wu Youyou and Tianya took two, and that was perfectly reasonable.

As for Qin Lan, her help to him had indeed been substantial. Chu Mo could not forget that in the laboratory of Longevity Club, when the first test subject, the elderly Situ, was critically ill, Qin Lan did not hesitate to use her Origin Power to save him and managed to pull Situ back from the brink of death, but at the expense of a vast amount of her own Origin Power, leaving her almost depleted.

Therefore, for Qin Lan, no reward would be considered excessive.

After consuming an Immortal Fruit, although he could not absorb Spiritual Energy like other Martial Artists, under the transformation by the Spiritual Energy, Chu Mo could distinctly feel his body becoming lighter, and there was an invigorating sense to his entire being.

He gently stretched his muscles, and his body immediately resonated with a crackling sound like popping beans.

Chu Mo clenched his fist lightly, then he smashed it fiercely onto the solid wooden desk before him. Accompanied by a huge noise, he felt as if he had inexhaustible strength.

“Although this Immortal Fruit is only a semi-finished product, my strength has at least doubled!”

Muttering to himself, Chu Mo then set his eyes on the last Immortal Fruit, as a sudden idea came to the bottom of his heart.

If he could mass-produce such Immortal Fruits, what in the whole world could resist the temptation of the Immortal Fruit?

Even compared to the second Longevity Pill, the difference would be immense against the marvelous powers of this fruit.
