Chapter 47: Harvest (1/2)

Chapter 47: Harvest

In a dimly lit cave, a figure sat cross-legged, slowly opening its eyes.

After a month of recovery, the figure couldn't help but marvel at the formidable life force of Immortal Cultivators.

Broken bones had seamlessly rejoined, and lungs nearly sliced in two had fully healed.

Now with some free time, the figure began to inspect the spoils, pouring the contents of a Storage Bag onto the ground.

Firstly, there was the golden Flying Sword that had nearly killed him. Unfortunately, it was a Metal Element Flying Sword, and despite being usable, it didn't fully align with his Spiritual Roots, limiting its power.

Among the items spilled from the Storage Bag, a pile as tall as a person caught his attention, mostly comprising various spirit fruits.

Upon careful counting, there were over thirty varieties, and combined with those Wang Hong had collected, there were over forty types of spirit fruits.

Especially eye-catching were a dozen jade-white, crystal-clear fruitsthe white crystal fruit. According to the books, consuming these second-tier spirit fruits refined a cultivator's Spiritual Energy, eliminating impurities.

This was a rare find; he had scoured Azure Void City without coming across a shop selling them.

Pure Spiritual Energy could enhance the power of Magical Arts, prolong battles, and even increase the success rate of Foundation Building.

After sorting the remaining spirit fruits, Wang Hong discovered they were all first-tier, without any exceptionally precious varieties.

He gathered the spirit fruits into a pile and continued sorting through other items. Astonishingly, there were over fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Ding, the cultivator he had defeated, left Wang Hong deeply impressed. For a loose Qi Cultivator, having a few hundred Spirit Stones was considered wealthy. Were all treasure hunters this promising?

Additionally, there were several Jade Scrolls. One detailed a unique body movement technique called "Shifting Positions," likely Ding's evasive skill that allowed him to float twelve feet away in a peculiar manner.

Another Jade Scroll contained Ding's primary cultivation technique, the "Sharp Gold Decision," irrelevant to Wang Hong.

There was also a scroll recording the experiences of a Foundation Building cultivator, including details about his later years spent in Mist Wind Gorge, cultivating spirit fruits and brewing Spirit Wine with trained spirit monkeys.

Realizing there was a cave mansion of a Foundation Building cultivator in the depths of the orchard, Wang Hong connected the dots that the substantial Spirit Stone sum must have been the cultivator's fortune.

Ding, it seemed, was too greedy. Despite obtaining a substantial amount of Spirit Stones, he still coveted the fortune, ultimately giving away his life.

Additionally, there were cultivation techniques like "Soft Water Art," a manual on controlling insects and beasts, and a guide on brewing high-grade Spirit Wine.

High-grade Spirit Wine was rare, difficult to obtain due to precious ingredients, secret recipes, and the lengthy brewing process spanning decades.
