Chapter 929: The Sapling of The Primordial Tree
“That’s right. We were also puzzled, but it still sprouted nonetheless! The leaves that have grown out are still fiery red. They look like us!” The Little Fire Spirit Beast said proudly.
Yun Chujiu pounced to Di Beiming’s side and asked with a trembling voice, “Prince Charming, what color are the leaves of the Primordial Fruit?”
Di Beiming thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t seen it before but it is said that the leaves of the Primordial Tree are special. They are fiery red.”
Yun Chujiu immediately laughed out loud, “Hahaha! Those who are blessed are truly fortunate! My prince, the Primordial fruit has been found, Hahaha!”
Yun Chujiu’s laughter gave everyone and the other beasts a fright. Has this fellow gone mad?!
“Little Jiu, Little Jiu?” Di Beiming called out a few times. Yun Chujiu, who was in a state of ecstasy, finally calmed down a little.
“Prince Charming, the seed of the Primordial fruit was eaten by the little Fire Spirit Beast. It actually… It actually… Hehe… It actually germinated in their cave!” Yun Chujiu said excitedly.
Di Beiming was also surprised. This was too much of a coincidence. No one had ever known how the seeds of the Primordial tree germinated. He did not expect that it needed to be swallowed by a Fire Spirit Beast before it could germinate. No wonder the Primordial tree was so rare.
The seeds of the Primordial tree were already rare enough. Add to it the rarity of finding a Fire Spirit Beast. The chances of putting the two together and getting a Fire Spirit Beast to swallow the seeds of the Primordial tree would be even smaller. He did not expect that the conditions would be met by the Black Thing.
Yun Chujiu tried hard to suppress her excitement. She did not even eat a single mouthful of the roasted meat. She took out a bunch of other things from her storage ring and fed them to the Fire Spirit Beast. Then, she anxiously asked them to bring her to see the Primordial Tree.
When they arrived at the Earthen Fire Cave, Yun Chujiu muttered, “Wouldn’t it be a pity if all the Earthen Fire was extinguished? I didn’t expect the Fire Spirit Beasts to tell me that they could make the extinguish Earthen Fire and then rekindle it.” Yun Chujiu clicked her tongue in wonder, no wonder the Fire Spirit Beasts were called exotic beasts. There was indeed something unusual about them.
After the four big Fire Spirit Beasts extinguished the Earthen Fire, the four of them entered the depths of the Earthen Fire Cave. As expected, they found a fiery-red sapling in a corner.
Not only were the leaves fiery-red, but even the stem was also fiery-red. The leaves flickered with a ruby-like l.u.s.ter. At a glance, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary spiritual plant.
Yun Chujiu jumped with joy. No matter how she looked at it, things had worked out in her favor. When she thought of the fresh and sweet taste of the Primordial fruit, she almost drooled.
However, Di Beiming frowned and said, “Little Jiu, don’t you need the Primordial fruit to refine the Universal Essense Cleansing Pill? Even if you have this Primordial tree, it’s useless.”
Yun Chujiu said with a smile, “Hehe, my Prince Charming, I have a secret weapon. Watch carefully!”
Di Beiming was puzzled, ‘Secret Weapon? No matter what secret weapon you have, this little sapling can’t possibly bear any Primordial fruit, right? It was said that the Primordial tree would bloom once every thousand years, bear fruit once every thousand years, ripen once every thousand years. That’s a total of three thousand years worth of waiting! We’d be nothing but bones in the ground by then.’
An Feng and An Yin shook their heads secretly. Although Miss Jiu was always able to do things that surprised us, she was probably in over her head this time. While she was extremely capable, it was also impossible for the young sapling to bear any Primordial fruit at that time.
Yun Chujiu first activated the isolation array to prevent any spiritual energy from leaking out. Once such a spiritual fruit has matured, it would definitely emit a strange fragrance. It was better to not cause any unnecessary problems.
After Yun Chujiu was ready, then, she used her spiritual sense to say to the Strange Gra.s.s in a pleading manner, “Strange Gra.s.s, it’s time for you to show off your skills. Give master a few drops of the juice that can accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs. Don’t worry, master will not take it for free. Once the Universal Essense Cleansing Pill is refined, I will feed one to you as a reward.”
