Chapter 263 The Wonderful Uses of Gengyan Fruit

Wenwen didn't know how many fruits the old turtle had.

According to the old turtle, the number of fruits produced each time is uncertain, ranging from three to five. This time, ten fruits were produced at once, which is the most ever produced. Therefore, the old turtle was overjoyed and, in addition, wanted to lure them to the bottom of the sea. It felt that it had a stockpile in its nest, so it simply ate them all in one go.

Now that Wenwen has asked for its stock, the old tortoise, for the sake of its ideals, is going all out. With a wave of its hand, it takes a large seashell from a pile of things in the corner.

Upon opening the shell, five Gengyan fruits were revealed inside.

The fruit has a fruity aroma, but it's not strong enough. The originally translucent yellow and white fruit is no longer as bright as it was when it was first ripe. At this time, the fruit looks rather dull, with a lifeless yellow hue.

Aying said disdainfully, "Hey, you old turtle, you didn't store it properly, it's almost spoiled, how can it still be used?"

The old turtle argued, "You can't use it there. Don't pretend you know what you don't. It just doesn't taste as good as it did at first, but it still has some effect."

Wenwen, unashamed, asked, "How do you know if it's still effective? How can you verify that?"

The old turtle proudly recounted his accidental discovery: when juice flows onto the water's surface, a halo appears, and cultivating under this halo can help improve one's cultivation level.

So that's why the old turtle looked so blissfully basking in the sunlight when I saw it in the pond.

Wenwen was very curious, and so were the others.

The old tortoise called out, "Master, would you like to give it a try? Everyone should give it a try! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Aying was immediately displeased. "You're giving me face. You still call me master? You're a demon beast. How can a demon beast call someone 'master' without a contract? Do you even understand the rules? You've been cultivating for so long and you still have no knowledge."

The Wen family members listened as Aying lectured the old turtle as if he were her grandson, constantly belittling him. It was strange that the old turtle could tolerate it all.

The old turtle complained, "That's why I want to go out and broaden my horizons with my master! So, you have to take me out! Staying at the bottom of the pond all the time really makes me so ignorant, right, master?"

Wenwen...

You've already said everything, what else can she say?

However, the old tortoise's ability to climb the pole is quite impressive. Since it wants to form a contract, then so be it. Anyway, there's enough space, one more won't make it crowded.

So, Wenwen used her spiritual power to prick her fingertip, and a drop of blood, driven by the spiritual power, approached the old tortoise. Instantly, it turned into a blood mist that surrounded the old tortoise. Wenwen immediately cast a spell to form a demon beast blood pact with the old tortoise.

Thus, the old tortoise officially became Wenwen's demon beast.

Wenwen used her spiritual power to encircle a sea area around her, setting up a barrier, and asked, "...Grandpa Turtle, how do I use this fruit?"

The old turtle was instantly amused by the address "Grandpa Turtle." No one had ever called it that before; it was always addressed as "Old Turtle" or "Old Softshell Turtle." It had never heard anyone call it that before, and at that moment, the old turtle felt quite pleased.

Actually, Wenwen was also a little hesitant about this title. As the saying goes, "a tortoise lives for a thousand years and a turtle for ten thousand years," let alone an old turtle that has lived for hundreds of years and has cultivated itself. Giving it a respectful title is not excessive.

"Master," the old tortoise called out willingly, "It's like this... you can put the fruit..."

Next, Wenwen put away the four fruits, but took out only one. She used her spiritual power to extract the juice and sprinkled it directly on the water. Instantly, a halo appeared on the water. This halo looked different from the halo under the sunlight at the pool before, but the people sitting in the halo immediately felt the surging spiritual energy within it.

Such a rich and vibrant spiritual energy is something that no one has ever seen or heard of before.

Perhaps this is what they call fate.

The group quickly sat down and entered a meditative state.

Just as the old turtle said, opportunity knocks but once.

The halo lasted for a day and a night.

Wen Qilin had just advanced not long ago. He had originally jumped to the late stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, and with the help of the halo, he reached the peak of the late stage of the fourth level. He himself could hardly believe that his speed of advancement was so fast.

Wen Qiyuan had just reached the early stage of the fourth level, but with this halo, he directly reached the late stage of the fourth level.

Wen Chengjian broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

Congratulations! Thanks to Geng Yanguo, these three have risen to prominence almost overnight.

However, the biggest beneficiary was Wenwen. Originally, she was at the late stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining, but she broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. The spiritual pressure that overflowed when she broke through shook everyone off balance. Fortunately, the old turtle helped to block it, thus preventing her family members from being accidentally injured.

After her cultivation level stabilized, Wenwen opened her eyes and felt the surging power in her body. Joy quickly spread throughout her body. She had finally reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which meant that she had entered the later stage of Qi Refining and that she had taken another step closer to Foundation Establishment.

The old tortoise flattered him promptly, "Master is amazing! You easily advanced to the later stages. You are truly a young talent, a young talent indeed..."

Wenwen...

Is this how the word is used? It seems so.

"Haha, Grandpa Turtle is right. Well, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now. Is there anything else you need to pack?"

"Leaving already? So soon?" The old turtle looked at its underwater palace, where it had lived for hundreds of years, feeling a little reluctant to leave. However, the vast world outside always attracted it. The old turtle tossed its head and said firmly, "There's nothing to pack. Let's go."

Aying would argue with him, "No, you don't want that stuff in the corner anymore? You don't want any of it?"

Wen Chengjian: "Yes, Uncle Turtle, there are still quite a few of those that are still usable."

Old Turtle: "I don't need anything anymore. If you like, you can take it all."

"Really? You really don't want it anymore? Don't go back on your word later."

The Wen family members, including Wen Wen, had long coveted the things in the corner. For the newly established Wen family, cultivation resources were extremely scarce. They wanted to bring home anything that had even a little bit of use. They were sure that the rest of the family would fight tooth and nail over these things.

The old tortoise waved its hand, not caring at all, "No need, you can take it all. Oh, right, there seem to be a few jade slips over there, what kind of cultivation technique was it again? I forgot, I found it in another sea area, you can look carefully. As for the other medicinal herbs and monster bones, you can decide for yourselves, how much you can take depends on your ability, hahaha."

Wenwen thought to herself, "Who do they think they are? I'll give my family a piece of my mind."

In the blink of an eye, the pile of items in the corner disappeared, obviously stored in Wenwen's spatial storage.

The old tortoise glanced at it, looked suspicious for a few moments, and then ignored it.

After they finished packing, they left the palace. Wenwen asked, "Grandpa Turtle, may I take this coral with me?"

"Take it, take it, there are plenty of these in the ocean." Hey, what a boastful tone.

After saying that, the old tortoise suddenly grew larger and said to everyone, "Everyone, get on and sit down. I'll take you somewhere."

Wenwen: "Where are we? Grandpa Turtle, you're not going to sell us out, are you?!"

"Haha, I'd need to have the guts to do that too."

Wen Chengjian: "Grandpa Turtle, do I need to buy a ticket to ride your underwater spaceship this time?"

"...You brat, why do you have to bring that up? Buckle up..."
