The Spirit Fruit Ripens

After the meal, Shen Yi called the three of them and headed straight for Black Mountain.

Today's harvest was less; we only managed to kill two monsters before it was already noon.

Shen Yi turned back down the mountain first to check on the mutated red eggplant that was about to ripen.

The three stayed behind to continue hunting monsters.

After returning home.

Shen Yi quickly arrived at the vegetable patch where the mutated red eggplant was planted.

In the vegetable garden, two bright red fruits hung on the vines, their luster glistening and seemingly emitting a faint glow.

[Mutant Red Eggplant - Tier 1 Spirit Plant]

Maturity period: 100%

[Effects: Strengthens Qi and Blood]

……

It's ripe!

After the vegetable garden is upgraded to level 6, the effects of the traits "Increased Yield" and "Fertile" become even more powerful.

The yield of a mutated red eggplant plant has increased from one fruit to three.

Furthermore, the three fruits seem to be bound together by some kind of bond.

The first two fruits will share nutrients with the third fruit, thus achieving simultaneous ripening.

Shen Yi carefully picked the three mutated red eggplants, washed them, and took a bite of one of them.

A rich fruity aroma quickly spread in the mouth.

After the fruit entered his stomach, an energy no weaker than that of demon beast meat spread out and was refined and absorbed by the 'Netherfire Refining Technique'!

Not bad!

Shen Yi's eyes lit up, and he ate the mutated red tomato fruit in a few bites, his body's energy had reached its limit.

He immediately activated the Wild Bull Technique, continuously condensing his turbulent blood and qi, making his aura increasingly profound.

A moment later, it charged towards the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm!

boom!

The shackles were suddenly shattered.

Shen Yi's body trembled, and a sense of power surged forth from every inch of his muscles!

"What a potent medicine!"

Shen Yi opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise.

The energy of the mutated red eggplant fruit is not necessarily more abundant or pure than that of monster meat.

But he discovered one of the biggest advantages of the mutated red tomato fruit: it is easier for the human body to absorb.

That's why he was able to take this step smoothly and break through to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Shen Yi then examined the seeds of the mutated red eggplant fruit and found only four.

Without hesitation, I immediately planted them in a level 6 vegetable patch, looking forward to them sprouting and maturing.

At dusk.

Shen Kun and his two companions returned home and hurriedly found Shen Yi, panting as they said:

"Big brother, Liao Ning and his men actually got their hands on a black wildebeest!"

Shen Yi felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Tell me more.

"On our way back down the mountain, we heard a lot of noise coming from the north side of the village, so we went to check it out out of curiosity."

"It turns out that Liao Ning and those people from Yanling Village led seven or eight black horned horses back to the village, and everyone is gathered around watching the excitement."

"I heard they captured several wildebeest in the Black Mountain area today and have already brought them back to the village. They plan to continue capturing the rest tomorrow!"

Shen Kun looked on with envy.

"I didn't expect them to actually succeed."

"This is the first time I've ever seen a wildebeest. Those horses are so black and strong, taller than a person, they're so majestic."

Shen Yi's eyes flashed:

"It's good that they were able to capture the wildebeest; now that they have it, we also have a chance to get it."

"Big brother, what do you mean?" Shen Yuan understood.

"That's right, everything has a price. We can find a way to buy it from them."

Shen Kun asked doubtfully, "But will they agree to sell it to us?"

Shen Yi smiled.

Two mutated red eggplant fruits were taken out.

"The mutated red tomato fruit is ripe!?"

Upon seeing the two spiritual fruits, Guan Yue and the other two exclaimed in surprise.

They immediately understood Shen Yi's idea.

Guan Yue couldn't help but ask, "Shen Yi, are you planning to trade the mutated red eggplant fruit with them?"

"right!"

At that time.

Once he successfully cultivates the mutated red eggplant on a large scale and produces a batch of first-tier spiritual fruits that are easily absorbed by the human body, he doesn't believe Liao Ning and the others will be able to resist.

Knowing that they might also obtain the Blackhorn in the future, the three were immediately excited.

"Let them do their work. We just need to wait for the mutated red tomato fruit to ripen."

Resource exchange.

He possesses a treasure trove of spiritual plants, and only needs to wait for the right time to easily exchange them for the resources they have obtained through their adventures.

Shen Yi said casually, "You can eat these two mutated red eggplants to help you break through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm."

"Without improvement in your cultivation level, your work efficiency will also suffer."

Upon hearing this...

Shen Kun was immediately embarrassed.

They are already working very hard.

But ultimately, he was only at the second level of the Qi and Blood Realm, so naturally he couldn't compare to his elder brother and Guan Yue.

Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took the mutated red eggplant. "Big brother, what about you?"

"I just ate one and used it to break through to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm. You two should break through first."

Shen Yi said.

As their territory expanded, their work became more numerous and demanding.

He can't possibly take on most of the work by himself.

Moreover, the two mutated red eggplants are of far less use to him now than the human value of helping Shen Kun and Shen Yuan reach the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Moreover, the next mutated red eggplant will soon be ripe.

"Guan Yue, I'll share the next mutated red eggplant with you after it ripens."

Shen Yi turned to look at Guan Yue, who was standing to the side, and said.

"No need, I don't need it." Guan Yue waved her hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

Shen Yi ignored him.

Guan Yue is also one of his subordinates, and he cannot waste her. He must make the most of her value so that she can work more efficiently for him.

……

The next day.

Tang Jing, Liao Ning, and the others set off early, just like yesterday, and arrived at Shuangfeng Mountain.

Yesterday, they spent a lot of effort and time trying to drive the wildebeest herd into the trap.

Today all we need to do is transport them to the village.

Unfortunately, the wildebeest were quite wary, and only about one-third of them fell into the trap.

"If we can get the remaining twenty-odd black wildebeests back today, we'll have accomplished our mission."

As Tang Jing finished speaking.

Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

"There are a total of thirty-four black wildebeest, and we can get 30%, which is nine black wildebeest!" Liu Feng said excitedly.

"Ah Ning, our Black Mountain Village is about to take off!"

Liu Yu was also beaming with joy, "Even my father and the village chief hadn't been able to get such a precious resource as the black wildebeest before."

"It's mainly thanks to Yanling Village."

Liao Ning shook his head slightly.

"Alright, let's get moving. This place is close to the inner perimeter of Black Mountain, and it's fraught with danger. Let's try to get the Black Wildebeest back today."

Everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Just as everyone was working together to capture the black wildebeest in the trap, one of the black wildebeests suddenly broke free and immediately ran away.

"Quick, after them!"

Tang Jing's expression changed slightly.

Liu Dachuan and the others gave chase.

However, their speed was nowhere near that of the black wildebeest running at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, the black wildebeest had vanished without a trace.

Liu Yu stopped, panting, and looked down, suddenly noticing something familiar.

He went over and picked it up.

"Isn't this Uncle Lin Hui's water bottle?"

He remembered clearly that there was still a scratch he had left on it.

At this moment, there was still a clump of filthy hair with a foul odor clinging to the kettle.

His expression changed.

Uncle Lin Hui and the others are right here!?
