Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1050 - 510: Obtaining the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree, Tier Eight Spirit Plant (Part 2)

"It takes thirty thousand years for this fruit to bloom and mature."

"The sheer volume of medicinal potency held within is truly beyond comprehension."

"I suspect that only those who have reached the Mahayana stage possess the status to benefit from such a Tier Eight spirit fruit."

"If this seed were to find its way into the hands of an ordinary cultivator, it would be utterly useless."

"After all, no cultivator could realistically afford to wait thirty millennia."

"However, I happen to possess an Immortal Dew Bottle that generates a mysterious, life-giving immortal dew."

"Perhaps by harnessing the essence of this dew, I can hasten the development of the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin in contemplation.

With this thought resolved, he bypassed any hesitation, opening the Gate of the Void to make a swift departure.

The situation had been handled completely on his end.

Lingering here served no advantage; it would be far more productive to return to the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm for deep Cultivation.

Swoosh!

In mere moments, Jiang Fan was back atop the Primordial Peak within the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

He arrived in the garden behind his estate, where a vast expanse of open land awaited.

It provided the perfect environment for planting the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree.

Jiang Fan hollowed out a pit in the soil and nestled the golden seed inside.

He then retrieved the artifact known as the Immortal Dew Bottle from his storage.

To be fair, it had been quite a long time since he last utilized this magical treasure.

Over the intervening years, a significant stockpile of immortal dew had gathered within it.

The timing was perfect for applying this essence to the seed of the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree.

Ever since he advanced to the First-Layer Void Refining stage, his progress in Cultivation had slowed to a crawl.

Under normal circumstances, decades of grueling labor might not even be enough to reach the Second-Layer Void Refining.

However, gaining access to the Profound Yellow Fruit produced by a Tier Eight spirit plant would change everything.

It would undoubtedly provide the boost needed to accelerate his Cultivation path rapidly.

He simply lacked the surplus of time required for slow, arduous progression.

Deciding quickly, Jiang Fan applied droplets of the shimmering immortal dew onto the golden seed.

As the liquid touched the surface, it flowed like fragmented jade descending from the celestial heavens; the translucent white drops, infused with eternal vitality, bathed the seed in a rhythm of pure spirituality.

Almost instantly, starlight-like golden pulses radiated from the seed, as if a long-dormant chaotic spirit core had been roused by the morning sun. Tiny fissures crept across the seed's shell, forming ancient, spider-web-like patterns.

Delicate white rootlets suddenly erupted, dancing in the air like butterfly wings dancing upon water, before plunging into the streams of spiritual Qi within the void, rapidly weaving themselves into a hidden network of nourishment.

"It has finally begun."

Jiang Fan watched intently as the golden seed surged with sudden, vigorous growth.

Within the blink of an eye, the sapling shot up as if invigorated by a springtime gale, its stalk piercing the sky with the resonance of rolling thunder. Layers of emerald leaves unfurled like intricately carved jade fans, each vein pulsing with a faint Profound Yellow glow, reminiscent of moonlight dancing across the surface of a pond.

In less than the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the sapling had matured into a grand, towering tree. Its trunk became so thick that dozens of men would struggle to encircle it, and its dark bark shimmered with a luster like fine mutton-fat jade. Branches stretched outward like dragons surveying the deep, covered in a dense foliage that blanketed the heavens.

Threads of celestial light hung down between the verdant leaves like silver filaments or glowing fireflies. A gentle breeze sighed through the branches, creating a soft, tinkling melody akin to ice hitting jade, a sound that lingered in the air indefinitely.

"This is extraordinary."

Jiang Fan pushed his spiritual sense toward the tree, observing the countless complex runes emerging on the bark, coalescing into what appeared to be a Supreme Dao Scripture.

Undeniably, the power of the immortal dew had drastically condensed the tree's growth cycles.

It had only been a short while, yet the tree had apparently transcended thousands of years of maturation—a truly miraculous sight.

What impressed Jiang Fan even more were the roots reaching deep into the earth, anchoring into the depths of the soil for thousands upon thousands of meters.

They were greedily siphoning the accumulated Spiritual Qi from the various veins within the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

Some root tips had even pierced through the dimensions, wildly absorbing energy directly from the void.

This, indeed, was the hallmark of a Tier Eight spirit plant.

They are beings capable of devouring not just the mundane Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, but also the raw essence of the void itself.

At this stage, such a plant is essentially a living, breathing powerhouse of nature.

Rumble~~

At this moment, the relentless expansion of the tree's roots triggered a subtle tremor throughout the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm and ripples in the surrounding void.

Wisps of primordial Profound Yellow Qi seeped from the roots and permeated the realm, significantly increasing the density and quality of the soil across the land.

In time, it was entirely possible that every inch of land in this Secret Realm would be transformed into potent Profound Yellow Spiritual Soil.

"What is happening?"

"What has that wretched human manipulated again?"

Deep within the realm, Little Kunpeng Ming, who had been resting, suddenly jolted awake.

It viewed the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm as its personal Kunpeng Nest.

As it progressed in its own development, its absorption of Void Energy had already caused profound changes in the area.

Not only had the internal dimensions of the realm expanded—promoting it to a Tier Six Secret Realm—but it had also evolved into a layered, complex habitat.

Much like a hive, the space was now divided into countless overlapping layers.

This was, in fact, the signature nature of a true Kunpeng Nest.

Any common intruder approaching the main palace would eventually be lost in a maze of spatial labyrinths, unable to ever locate the center.

While Little Kunpeng Ming was merely a hatchling, its innate mastery over space had already begun turning this realm into the true prototype of a legendary nest.

However, it would still require considerable time before it reached its final, immutable form.

"Impossible. Could that be a Tier Eight Profound Yellow Fruit Tree?"

"Rumor has it that this tree is the closest living thing to a true Immortal Plant."

"Even during the ancient eras, such a specimen was considered an invaluable treasure."

"If one could harvest a mature Profound Yellow Fruit, the concentrated Profound Yellow Qi inside would be enough to accelerate the growth of a True Spirit while refining its physique to perfection."

"Where could that human possibly have found such a relic?"

Little Kunpeng Ming stared at the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree atop the Primordial Peak.

It could plainly sense the heavy strands of Profound Yellow Qi emitting from the plant, each thread as weighty as a boulder.

For an ancient True Spirit like itself, the Qi offered was incredibly tempting.

Though it had long known the human possessed a formidable destiny and a habit of stumbling upon rare treasures, it never imagined he would acquire the legendary Profound Yellow Fruit Tree.

If it hadn't witnessed it occur with its very own eyes, it would have dismissed the possibility as utter lunacy.

"Continue."

Jiang Fan, however, remained focused and did not pause; he continued to drip the last of the Immortal Dew onto the tree.

Fueled by the supplement, the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree absorbed the essence as if consuming a grand feast of life energy.

It appeared to experience ages of growth in seconds.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter blurred into a single cycle of time.

As the tree's shadow deepened, seemingly freezing the flow of history, nine round fruits finally manifested at the tip of its branches.

Initially, they appeared as clear as green glass, but within moments, they shimmered with dual flashes of Profound Yellow. Their surfaces displayed flowing clouds, and deep within their cores, chaotic primordial energy pulsed like a spinning star.

Soon, the entire trunk, every branch, and the undersides of the leaves were covered in a flurry of shifting Profound Yellow Runes—some small and precise, others wide and majestic—all navigating the tree as if endowed with their own consciousness.

They flickered with ancient light, illuminating the chaos of creation, occasionally merging into the wood to enact the laws of the universe’s rise and fall.

As the runes circulated, the entire tree emitted a pressure so heavy that the surrounding void twisted and rippled under the strain.

The nine fruits remained suspended, growing progressively more brilliant under the runic reflection, looking like treasures pulsating with eternal charm, causing even the ambient Spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth to pause in reverence.

"It is done."

Watching the spectacle, a flash of excitement crossed Jiang Fan’s face.

To bring this tree to maturity and force the ripening of the nine fruits, he had exhausted his entire store of Immortal Dew.

But the result was worth every drop.

Equipped with these nine Profound Yellow Fruits, his path to reaching the peak of Void Refining would surely be unobstructed.
