Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1061 - 440: The Spirit Fruit’s Hidden Power (2)

"Now that Elder Sima Ling has inspected my Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact, your sect must produce those four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits for my friends and me to inspect meticulously!"

"If they turn out to be authentic, the supreme Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact I hold will naturally pass to your sect!"

As Lin Xuankong declared this, over twenty Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect promptly displayed broad smiles.

Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect unfastened a Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch from his waist, parted its mouth, and tilted it delicately. In an instant, four round fruits radiating distinct Immortal Yuan waves tumbled out, rolling with a ’gugu lulu’ noise.

Witnessing this sight,

Lin Xuankong instinctively rose and inspected them closely.

At his side, Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal Guang Ling’Er, White-forehead Qilin, and Cyan-forehead Qilin all turned their eyes to the four fruits upon the table.

Lin Xuankong observed intently, confirming the four fruits bore nine stripes upon their husks, weaving complex designs, while releasing an enchanting Immortal Yuan aura that soothed the Heart Spirit!

Regrettably, Lin Xuankong’s Cultivation tenure had been short, focused mainly on the Path of Array Formation, Path of Artifact Refining, and Path of Immortal Techniques, with scant familiarity to the Immortal Realm’s myriad wondrous fruits and Spirit Medicines. Though he perceived these four Spirit Fruits far surpassed common varieties, he remained unable to verify if they were the fabled Immortal Realm’s Fourth-ranked Divine Marvelous Spirit Fruit—the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit!

Therefore, after brief scrutiny, Lin Xuankong looked toward Guang Ling’Er, Guang Yu’Er, Cyan-forehead Qilin, and White-forehead Qilin nearby, inquiring:

"These four fruits look exceptionally remarkable; might they be the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits that ripen only once every few thousand years?"

Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin gave faint headshakes. These Qilin Race Little Demon Kings had lingered mostly with Immortal Lord Luoshui after entering the Human Race Immortal Realm, rarely venturing beyond the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage Mini World. Familiar with Luo Water Immortal Sect’s and Boundaryless Mountain’s Spirit Medicines and Spirit Fruits, they had only learned of the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit from Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect tales and couldn’t affirm these matched the fruits displayed!

Guang Ling’Er eyed the encircling Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect Earth Immortals and remarked, "The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect companions wouldn’t present counterfeit Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits to Mr. Lin, right? Your status in our Immortal Realm matches that of any Strongest Immortal Lord now!"

At the same time, Guang Yu’Er knitted her brows and murmured softly:

"The look, stripes, scent, and spiritual essence of these fruits match closely to my master Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan’s descriptions. Yet, I wonder about the cracks on these four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits’ shells? Do they split naturally upon ripening? Sadly, the fruits’ intense fluctuations bar me from sending Immortal Yuan inside to probe!"

Hearing her words, Lin Xuankong’s gaze sharpened, then he promptly invoked his Nine Gates Celestial Eye.

His Nine Gates Celestial Eye had attained a deep realm, particularly after a hundred years cultivating in the New Luo Water Array inside the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage—akin to almost twenty thousand years of training. This prolonged immersion elevated his Nine Gates Celestial Eye to nearly match veteran Demon Lords from Profound Yin Demon Sect!

In general,

Such a Nine Gates Celestial Eye realm could effortlessly pierce through ten-thousand-mile-deep mountains unimpeded.

However, upon engaging his Nine Gates Celestial Eye and directing it at one Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit among the four, he shockingly discovered the Spirit Fruit’s husk obstructed its piercing power!

Evidently, these truly rank as the Immortal Realm’s fourth-place Spirit Fruits; else, how else such profound Spirituality!

Lin Xuankong mused inwardly.

Still, Guang Yu’Er’s earlier question led Lin Xuankong to focus his Nine Gates Celestial Eye upon the tiny crack on the Spirit Fruit, gazing within.

As he peered,

Lin Xuankong’s heart jolted uncontrollably,

The power of the Nine Gates Celestial Eye followed that incredibly thin crack, and right then, Lin Xuankong shockingly realized the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit shell was hollow inside, lacking any fruit pulp!

Evidently, this was a Spirit Fruit with its pulp removed, the shell secretly refined and sealed back together!

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuankong stayed quiet yet kept directing the Nine Gates Celestial Eye's gaze at the tiny cracks on the other three Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, finding them equally empty within!

Strangest of all, the four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit shells abruptly started radiating far more intense unique Immortal Yuan waves.

Right at that instant,

The Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin both suddenly emitted muffled groans,

Cyan-forehead Qilin furrowed its brow, "Something’s wrong; my head is spinning! It’s too bizarre; since I broke through to the Initial-Grade Demon King Realm, I’ve never experienced this kind of dizziness where my Divine Soul feels suppressed and I can’t stir my Immortal Yuan!"

White-forehead Qilin’s brow furrowed, its gaze landing on the four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits pulsing with powerful waves. "No, the oddity lies in how these four Spirit Fruits’ fluctuations suppress a cultivator’s Divine Soul. This suppressive force rivals the Immortal Yuan suppression from our Qilin Race’s Qilin True Words. How could the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit possess such power? It’s absolutely suspicious!"

As it said this, its massive Qilin eyes gleamed with a savage glint aimed at the twenty-eight Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect nearby.

At the same time, those Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect had smirks curling at their lips, each displaying a creepy grin.

Among them,

Sima Ling, the one who called himself the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, let out a soft chuckle,

"You know the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit mimics the effects of Seven-leaf Spirit Tea, holding one-third of its diverse spiritual benefits, but you don’t realize the fruit shell harbors other wondrous powers!

Of course, that’s not your fault,

When top Immortal Lords across the Immortal Realm trade with our Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect for Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, they get only the pulp. Only our Sect’s successive Elders and Sect Leaders know that activating the shell with Immortal Yuan unleashes potent soul suppression, making anyone who inhales the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit shell’s aroma have their Divine Soul quelled and drift into sleep!

Moreover, this sleep state aids cultivators, letting those affected swiftly heal certain Divine Soul wounds during an hour’s rest. While it falls short of the Celestial Demon Blood Fruit’s miraculous Divine Soul recovery, it outshines all other Spirit Medicines in the Immortal Realm by a thousand times!"

No sooner had the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect’s Second Elder Sima Ling finished his words,

"Thud" "Thud" "Thud"

Three heavy thumps resounded on the ground as the massive bodies of the Qilin Race’s two Little Demon Kings, Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin, plus the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s attendant disciple Qu Yunxiang, collapsed and fell into deep slumber.

Thankfully, these two spiritual beasts and one Earth Immortal showed no signs of grave harm, instead appearing to sleep peacefully with steady breaths and stable Immortal Yuan pulses. The Little Demon King Cyan-forehead Qilin was even snoring blissfully.

Yet, at this sight, Lin Xuankong, Guang Yu’Er, and Guang Ling’Er—who hadn’t yet fallen asleep— all displayed solemn faces and promptly began channeling their Immortal Yuan.
