Chapter 512 – Emperor Fruit
TL : GoldenLung
The length of a day on this planet was about the same as the Mother Planet. As for the time difference, it was impossible to calculate it after an interstellar trip.
Lan Xuanyu took a look at his injuries. That big white tiger was still sleeping soundly with one hand covering his eyes. It looked quite adorable.
Lan Xuanyu walked over and rubbed its big head before pinching its face. He then opened the door and walked out of his dorm.
After arriving yesterday, he was simply too tired and didn’t eat much. Right now, he was a little hungry.
At this moment, it was quiet outside. Lan Xuanyu stretched his body in front of his room and moved his limbs to warm up his stiff body.
The life energy here was abundant and rich, but it was obviously not on the same level as the Mother Planet. He took out an Endless Life Fruit and placed it in his mouth as he silently felt the life energy nouris.h.i.+ng his body. With the rich life energy from the Endless Life Fruit, his hunger disappeared.
Just then, a clear voice came from behind. “What are you eating?”
When Lan Xuanyu turned around, he saw that the big white tiger had appeared behind him without a sound.
“A type of fruit, a specialty of our Douluo Planet.” Lan Xuanyu took out the Endless Life Fruit from his mouth and gestured in front of it.
The white tiger’s eyes widened and its nose twitched. It sniffed and suddenly stuck out its tongue and curled it towards Lan Xuanyu’s hand.
Lan Xuanyu was already on guard against it. He leaped back and avoided it immediately before stuffing the fruit back into his mouth.
“Human, why are you so petty! I don’t even mind your saliva on it,” the white tiger said angrily.
Lan Xuanyu scoffed. “It’s very expensive, why should I let you eat it? Also, you slept on my bed for the entire night and I didn’t even have a place to sleep.”
The white tiger grinned. “You’re stingy, stingy. Can this king trade with you? I want to eat that fruit of yours.”
Lan Xuanyu asked, “What do you want to trade?”
The white tiger tilted its head and thought for a moment. Then, a dark blue light flashed on its body and a tiger claw was extended. It patted the air lightly and actually produced a silver light. Then, it extended its claw into the silver light and grabbed a few fruits.
Lan Xuanyu focused his gaze and saw that the string of fruits was a greenish-purple color. The color of the skin was thick and not transparent, but it emitted a faint fragrance.
“What is this? Grape?” Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.
The white tiger said in annoyance, “What an ignorant human. This is the Emperor Fruit. After eating it, it can allow one to become a saint and live forever.”
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes. “It would be weird if I believed you. Become a saint and live forever. Try harder to fool me.”
The white tiger blinked. “I’m not lying. I became able to speak only after eating this. They told me that eating this would allow me to live forever. I didn’t like purple at first, I only like blue. I don’t want purple things.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at it in surprise. “You became able to talk after eating this ? Let me see.”
As he spoke, he took the string of fruits from the white tiger’s paw. There were over ten fruits on it, and it felt a little heavy in his hand. The fragrance also became stronger.
It was a unique fragrance that Lan Xuanyu had never felt before. He focused on sensing its changes and quickly realized that this fruit was different because his spiritual power was unable to detect the interior of the fruit. That layer of skin that didn’t seem too thick actually completely concealed the aura of the fruit.
‘What fruit is this? What the h.e.l.l is this Emperor Fruit?’
“Do you want to trade ? One for one.” The white tiger rolled its eyes and asked.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and returned the fruit to it. “I’m not trading it. Your effect is unclear, but my Endless Life Fruit contains extremely rich life energy. I don’t dare to eat this. I don’t know if there will be any side effects if I eat it. What if it’s poisonous?”
The white tiger said anxiously, “You really don’t know good stuff. This is an Emperor Fruit! Originally, only the elven royal family could eat it. The bloodline of the elven royal family would become diluted after being pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. They relied on this fruit to purify their strongest bloodline. Naturally, it was the bloodline of the Elven King. We traded for this, and other than the one that I ate, there’s only this bit left. You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
“Purify the bloodline?” Lan Xuanyu was stunned. He looked at the fruit again and was immediately moved.
According to Nana, his bloodline should have the power of the dragon race, similar to the Dragon G.o.d bloodline, but it also had the power of the Blue Silver Gra.s.s. All along, his bloodline power had been constantly growing and becoming stronger. If his bloodline could also be purified, didn’t that mean that his bloodline power would become purer and stronger? If that was the case, then this Emperor Fruit was really good stuff.
Furthermore, he wasn’t the only one who needed it; it was also useful to his teammates!
“I don’t know you, how can I believe what you said? How about this, I’ll take a risk too. You use this string to trade for one of my Endless Life Fruits, I’ll give you a brand new one that I’ve never eaten before.”
As he spoke, Lan Xuanyu’s wrist flashed and a small silver box appeared in his hand.
The small silver box looked extremely exquisite. There were convex carvings on it that looked like the Eternal Tree. There was also Shrek Academy’s design below it that was meticulously crafted.
Different Heaven and Earth treasures required different storage methods, and Endless Life Fruits were most suited to be stored in items made of silver. This box was naturally customized as well. As the quant.i.ty of Endless Life Fruits produced was quite large, the academy specially designed this.
Lan Xuanyu opened the box and revealed an emerald green fruit that was extremely transparent. It was a completely new fruit that he had never eaten before.
Upon seeing this fruit, the white tiger’s eyes widened and its blue eyes were filled with desire. It could clearly feel that this fruit was very, very beneficial to it. It was even more beneficial than the Emperor Fruit. More importantly…
“You have to give me this box too, look at it.” The white tiger raised its head excitedly and looked at Lan Xuanyu hopefully.
“You want the box too? This won’t do. This box is a Divine Tool from our side and is specially used to store this fruit. Without the protection of this box, we have no way of storing it and its spirituality will disappear. I can give you the fruit, you just have to eat and digest it. But this box won’t do. Without it, I won’t be able to store this fruit in the future.” Lan Xuanyu immediately rejected it righteously.
“Box, I just want this box, it’s so beautiful! There’s even a green gem embedded on it, what is that?”
There were some green gemstones embedded in the box. Fragments of Life Crystals contained a certain amount of life energy, but compared to the Life Crystals produced by the Sea G.o.d Lake beneath the Eternal Tree, they were considered defective. But to the white tiger, they were especially beautiful.
Lan Xuanyu said, “This is a Life Crystal, a crystal that can only be formed by condensing the densest life energy. Don’t you have some here?” He was a little surprised at this. The Elven Planet had such a dense life aura, it would be abnormal if it didn’t have any Life Crystals.
The white tiger said, “There is, but it’s different, it’s different. There is a difference, I can feel it. I just want this box, you can give it to me together. I will trade all of my Emperor Fruits to you. A person can only eat three Emperor Fruits at most, you can even sell some to others.”
