Chapter 758 - 355: Returning Home! Vermilion Fruit Tree! (Part 2)

Tang Ruobing suddenly laughed, this joke was too funny—he who had successfully slain a Divinity, had once envied an elite-level Spiritualist.

"To be precise, it’s a reinforced elite."

Ye Mingqiu corrected.

He did not shy away from the past, nor did he intend to sever his ties with his former self, after all, it was part of the journey of life, just a different scenery.

Walking on the old path, Ye Mingqiu took Tang Ruobing’s hand, saying, "Do you know? At that time, it wasn’t until senior year that anyone in our Support System became a Spiritualist, and that person was Xia Qingxue; no one else succeeded."

"For other systems, becoming a Spiritualist is a simple matter, but for a Support System lacking inherent strength and combat capability, it is also a threshold..."

"Although the benefits over here are comparatively better, the problem is that it is difficult to convert benefits into combat power, and ultimately, few people become Spiritualists."

"It is indeed difficult."

Tang Ruobing slightly lowered his head, unintentionally glancing at the hand being held, his mood slightly changed, this feeling was quite peculiar.

While others were still in graduation season, worrying about their life futures, they had already successfully entered the War Academy and even signed a free contract, enjoying top-notch treatment.

"Let’s go home, I kind of miss home."

Tang Ruobing said with a smile.

"Yes, let’s go home."

....

And this so-called home was the training room they first used together, it was Ye Mingqiu’s exclusive training room, and also Tang Ruobing’s exclusive training room, there was no difference as both had lived here.

"Is this... a Vermilion Fruit Tree? How did it grow so tall? The person you invited is not bad!"

Ye Mingqiu marveled.

In the training room, a Vermilion Fruit Tree over three meters tall stood proudly.

Its trunk was as straight as cast dark red jade, the bark was delicate, warm and glowed with faint golden patterns that flashed with breath. The bark resembled a layer of semi-solidified blood membrane, gently touched, ripples of light flowed. The branches were few, but each stood upright, its color rich but not garish in crimson, with golden spiritual veins flowing internally.

Ye Mingqiu approached the Vermilion Fruit Tree and discovered the tree slightly trembled, a leaf quietly fell toward him, seemingly the Vermilion Fruit Tree’s blessing.

"This is...?"

He accepted the leaf for inspection, the leaf’s shape was a narrow heart-shaped, the surface was in deep wine-red, the leaf veins flickered with golden threads, very mysterious.

[Crimson Fruit Tree Leaf (Anomaly)]

Tier: Tier One

Type: Material

Effect: After soaking in water and consuming, energy cap +5.

Supplement: The Vermilion Fruit Tree, after absorbing multiple resources, underwent a transformation, with its pharmacology greatly altered, the leaf’s energy is gentle, even weaker Spiritualists can easily absorb it.

"This is good stuff."

Ye Mingqiu couldn’t help but smile, just a single leaf, soaking in water can boost energy cap by 5 points, the actual fruit would only have a stronger effect.

Moreover, more importantly, ordinary attribute enhancement items usually specify an enhancement cap, yet this leaf has no cap, perhaps it’s not that the Spirit Realm forgot to mark it, but its upper limit is inherently high, beyond the range Ye Mingqiu needs to know.

He turned his head, looking at Tang Ruobing, smiling and said, "From where did you find such an expert?"

"Just an old friend of mine."

"Xiaoguang?"

"Yes."

Tang Ruobing nodded slightly, simultaneously walking to the Vermilion Fruit Tree, gently supporting the tree with her hand, feeling it slightly cool, the texture unlike touching a tree but akin to touching a precious gem.

Subsequently, she retrieved some top-grade materials for cultivating trees from the Storage Space, like rare spiritual liquid, and nutrient-rich fertilizer.

Seeing this, Ye Mingqiu on the other side also took out a few Tier Two Insect Race specialty [Life Crystals], which are the Insect Race’s biomass long-distance transport tool. They convert biomass into [Life Crystals] and transport to other places, then expand invasions using the energy within [Life Crystals].

This is something only top-level Insect Race can have, generally, weaker Insect Race cannot use them.

Beyond that, Ye Mingqiu also took a few starlight stones brought from the Endless Divine Remains World and tossed them under the Vermilion Fruit Tree.

This fruit tree’s growth to this extent was likely influenced by the fragments of Divine Blood he previously obtained from the Little Spirit Realm, causing its essence to change, leading to an abnormal transformation, partially elevating its life level, turning it into what it is now.

Ye Mingqiu could sense it.

The present Vermilion Fruit Tree is not a simple tree; it possesses strong life force and a slight self-awareness; if it continues to grow this way, in future it might become a towering tree?

As for its nutrients, initially cultured with Divine Blood crystals, and the absorption was quite effective, can be fed more later.

Hmm...

Ye Mingqiu took out the Divine Remains left by Tier Two Divinity Aiden, absorbing its Divine Blood to nourish the tree, causing the tree to emit radiance, seemingly absorbing.

The absorption process is arduous because it is Tier Two Divinity’s Divine Blood, requiring a lot of time for a Tier One Vermilion Fruit Tree to slowly absorb; once fully absorbed, it should further evolve.

"Come sit."

Ye Mingqiu sat under the tree, gently leaning.

He patted the vacant spot beside him, Tang Ruobing naturally sat next to him, then, both leaned together under the tree, enjoying the serene ambiance.

The Vermilion Fruit Tree’s branches slowly descended, as if intending to embrace the two, but the speed was extremely slow, indeed it had a peculiarly distinct feeling.

Ye Mingqiu raised his head, looking at the slightly trembling Vermilion Fruit Tree, always feeling this tree is not simple.

Feeling...

"I wonder when this tree will bear fruit, when it does, it should be quite something?" Tang Ruobing smiled quietly.

She gently leaned on Ye Mingqiu’s shoulder, closed her eyes, a small hand naturally waving in the air, and at a certain moment, Tang Ruobing suddenly opened her eyes, curiously looking at the tree behind.

For she found, within herself, the Power of the Ancient God seemed to have inadvertently diminished a bit.

If it were ordinary people, they might think it’s a misperception, directly ignoring it, but Tang Ruobing was different; she trusted her control over energy and did not believe she would leak energy.

Thus...

A guess arose in Tang Ruobing’s heart, the fruit tree possesses the ability to absorb energy, and this absorption is not in the ordinary sense, for it can absorb powerful energy.

She slightly frowned, then raised her hand, putting it on the trunk and slowly infusing a bit of the Power of the Ancient God.

Beside her, Ye Mingqiu silently watched, curious about what would happen.

Only the pitch-black energy overflowed, injected into the Vermilion Fruit Tree, the light of the tree dimmed slightly, yet its inherent power increased, and a wine-red leaf quietly fell, landing in Tang Ruobing’s hand.

"Hey, this seems like an equivalent exchange."

Tang Ruobing looked at the leaf in her hand, her face lit up with a bright smile.

Ye Mingqiu pondered and raised his hand, injecting a bit of [Holy Power] into the Vermilion Fruit Tree.

Soon, the same thing happened, the Vermilion Fruit Tree accepting indiscriminately, directly absorbing the [Holy Power], and a leaf fell again, presented to Ye Mingqiu.

They exchanged glances

A simultaneous smile appeared on their faces

Afterward, they together injected a large amount of energy into the Vermilion Fruit Tree, causing the leaves to fall in a heap, filling the ground, leaving it an energy-filled barren tree.

The flashing speed of the Vermilion Fruit Tree’s surface light had considerably slowed, seemingly feeling weighed down, the previously gifted materials were placed in the root soil, allowing choice whether to absorb actively.

But this time was different, the energy injected into the tree had to be borne by the tree itself.

"Look, this tree is so amusing."

"Mm, yes."
