Chapter 722: Chapter 438: Mutated Spirit Fruit

Some boys stared, captivated, at the graceful and charming Su Yue. Some girls muttered to themselves in envy, "That woman is gorgeous."

Su Yue was long used to the reactions of passersby. She ignored the gazes directed at her from all around.

Just then, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her right hand, opened her phone’s camera app, and aimed the lens at the empty campus, snapping a picture. Then, she sent the photo to a certain someone whose contact name she had changed to "Blockhead."

"I’m off work. Now I’m going to meet my friend and go to a party."

After sending the photo, Su Yue sent another message.

According to her plan, the certain someone would surely ask questions out of curiosity after receiving the message. Then, she could very naturally ask him for a favor—to come pick her up later.

A captivating smile graced Su Yue’s lips. She watched her phone screen, waiting for that certain someone to reply.

When the passersby saw the charming smile appear on the face of this beautiful woman—with her fair, delicate skin, extraordinary aura, and stunningly curvaceous figure—they were all, men and women alike, momentarily lost in a daze.

Toward strangers, Su Yue’s attitude was lukewarm, her aura cool and distant.

Her inner warmth and playful mischief were only ever revealed to her friends, her family, and a certain blockhead.

"Huh?"

’It’s been so long, why hasn’t he replied? What could he be busy with?’

She had originally planned for that certain someone to reply, which would create the perfect opportunity to ask him to pick her up later. However, her message vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, getting no reaction whatsoever. This completely disrupted Su Yue’s scheme.

"Sigh... Forget it. I’ll go meet Wang Ling first. When he messages me back later, I’ll ask him to pick me up then," Su Yue muttered. She put her phone back in her bag and walked toward a spot where she could hail a cab.

Soon, she flagged down a taxi by the roadside. After getting in, she gave the driver the address and left the school gate.

As the beautiful figure departed, the somewhat reluctant passersby finally dispersed.

...

In the treacherous wilderness, on a plain dyed red by the setting sun, a massive five-meter-long creature lay on the bank of a small river.

At this moment, the enormous creature showed no signs of life. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the fatal wound was on its head.

An incomparably sharp Spiritual Longsword had pierced through the massive creature’s head, exiting through its chin. Blood flowed from the wound, dripping from the sword’s tip.

"Phew..."

Panting heavily, Lin Li gazed at the Mutant Beast, its head pierced by the Spiritual Longsword he had thrown, now completely dead. He muttered to himself.

"This Porcupine Beast that awakened a Speed Superpower sure can run. If any other Cultivator had tried to chase this thing, they probably would have run out of stamina before they could even catch it."

After he spoke, Lin Li regulated his chaotic breathing, then walked forward and pulled his Spiritual Longsword from the Porcupine Beast’s head.

Looking at the red and white matter staining the blade, Lin Li wrinkled his nose in slight disgust.

He bent down and stored the recently deceased Second Order Middle Stage Porcupine Beast in his Mysterious Small Island. Then he turned and walked toward the small river nearby.

The brilliant red sunset stained the entire plain, and the slowly flowing river reflected the disappearing sun.

Sunlight glinted on the sparkling water. Lin Li squatted by the riverbank and plunged his Spiritual Longsword, still stained with red and white matter, into the water, swishing it around vigorously.

SPLASH, SPLASH, SPLASH...

The water churned. When Lin Li pulled the Spiritual Longsword back out after a good stir, the red and white matter staining its surface had been completely washed away by the river.

With a thought, Lin Li stored the clean Spiritual Longsword in his Mysterious Small Island.

Immediately after, a Spirit Fruit that looked like a cherry tomato appeared in his hand.

After a busy afternoon, his Spiritual Energy had been greatly depleted. Less than twenty percent remained in his Dantian.

The journey home from the treacherous wilderness could hold some unexpected encounters.

To avoid being caught off guard by a lack of Spiritual Energy if something happened, Lin Li decided to eat a Spirit Fruit to recover some of his energy, just in case.

CRUNCH.

He popped the bright red Spirit Fruit, which looked almost identical to a cherry tomato, into his mouth. Sweet and sour juice flowed over his tongue.

Soon after eating the Spirit Fruit, a warm current appeared from nowhere. This abundant Spiritual Energy from the fruit circulated rapidly through his body once before completely flowing into his depleted Dantian.

"Haaaah..."

Lin Li slowly exhaled. After eating the Spirit Fruit, he felt a faint warmth spread through his body.

Besides his depleted Dantian recovering a portion of its Spiritual Energy, the fatigue and soreness in his limbs were also somewhat alleviated.

The Lingzhi on the Mysterious Small Island, which was covered in Spirit Fruits, hadn’t grown any taller these past few days, but the number of Spirit Fruits on its branches had increased significantly.

Moreover, these Spirit Fruits now had an additional effect besides restoring Spiritual Energy: they could also soothe muscle soreness caused by prolonged physical exertion.

’That Spirit Plant has been growing on the Mysterious Small Island for a while now, and the Spirit Fruits it produces actually have this extra effect. Has it mutated? How incredible.’
