Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow and said, “Do you really want to know?”
Tang Shijun nodded eagerly, her charming face looking somewhat innocent at this moment.
She somehow reminded Gu Qingluan of the big white wolf she had looked after on the Island of No Return.
She smiled sweetly.”You’ll find out in a few days!”
“Ah! Qingluan, you’re so naughty!” Tang Shijun exclaimed, feeling a bit frustrated. Her high hopes had led to disappointment.
“These are the spiritual fruits that were just delivered from the back mountain today. Give them a try, they taste even better than honey fruits.”
A seemingly ordinary black fruit was offered to Tang Shijun.
The contrast between the snow-white jade fingers and the black fruit was striking, making her hand appear even more beautiful, as if the plain-looking fruit had suddenly become more appealing.
On the table, there were two plates of spiritual fruits. One plate held Tang Shijun’s favorite honey fruits, which were sweet, juicy, and had a rich brown color that was clear and shining. They were visually appealing and had an exquisite taste.
So much so that the adjacent plate of slightly less colorful spiritual fruits paled in comparison.
Therefore, from the moment she entered the room, Tang Shijun had her eyes fixed on the honey fruits, eating one after another, with no interest in the small black fruits.
Now, hearing Gu Qingluan’s words, Tang Shijun immediately took the black fruit and put it in her mouth.
She had complete trust in Gu Qingluan; she believed whatever she said.
As soon as the black fruit entered her mouth, her teeth gently pierced the thin skin, releasing a cool, sweet juice filled with spiritual energy that spread throughout her mouth.
Tang Shijun’s eyes widened in surprise.
The delightful taste that her taste buds experienced made her feel as if she were in the heavenly palace, sipping on nectar and dewdrops, and she couldn’t help but be enchanted.
Before she could savor it fully, the fruit was already in her stomach, leaving only a faint, sweet aftertaste.
“This is even more delicious than honey fruits!” Tang Shijun exclaimed in amazement. Her hand reached out honestly, grabbing a handful of the black fruits. At first, she thought about devouring them all in one go but then reconsidered, feeling that it would be a waste to gobble up such excellent spiritual fruits in haste. So, she lifted her other hand, took one, and placed it into her mouth.
“Mmm, it’s incredibly delicious! Oh my, how can there be such heavenly spiritual fruits in the world?” She sighed with closed eyes, her face filled with awe.
Gu Qingluan silently chuckled.
Having known each other for so long, Tang Shijun’s true nature was evealed. While she appeared to be a stunning and assertive beauty on the surface, she was, in reality, a straightforward foodie.
As long as one didn’t want her to dwell on a particular topic, one could easily divert her attention by offering her some delicious food.
“This is called Wu Shen Fruit. Don’t be fooled by its unimpressive appearance; it’s even more nourishing than ginseng. Don’t eat too many at once; I’m afraid your body might not handle it,”
Just as Gu Qingluan finished speaking, Tang Shijun was shocked, exclaiming, “My cultivation suddenly improved!”
In that instant, her cultivation went from Earth Realm 7th stage to Earth Realm 8 th stage!
She looked at the remaining Wu Shen Fruit in her hand, then back at Gu Qingluan, her expression somewhat stunned.
“It should be the Wu Shen Fruit taking effect. I forgot to mention that when you eat Wu Shen Fruit for the first time, it has significant benefits for cultivators, and the improvement in cultivation is quite noticeable,” Gu Qingluan said calmly.
Tang Shijun quickly placed the Wu Shen Fruit she had casually squeezed in her hand back into the plate. “How could you forget to mention such an important matter? Oh no, I’ve wasted these precious spiritual fruits like this? If the Wu Shen Fruit had consciousness, it would be furious!”
“You can rest assured; these Wu Shen Fruits haven’t reached sentience yet.”
Moreover, in a place like the Cloud Plains Continent with scarce spiritual energy, the chances of fruits reaching sentience were very slim, almost impossible.
“Is sentience the key point? The key point is that I just ate so many Wu Shen Fruits! These are much more precious than things like Arcane Spirit Pills. Consuming pills can have side effects and be harmful to the body, but there are only benefits to eating spiritual fruits. If these Wu Shen Fruits were put up for auction, how much money could they fetch?”
As a young lady of the Tang family, Tang Shijun naturally wasn’t lacking in wealth.
But even though she wasn’t lacking in wealth, she wasn’t completely oblivious to money, able to remain unfazed and indifferent to it.
After getting to know Qingluan, she realized that her previous knowledge was too shallow and ignorant.
She didn’t know some people could be this extravagant!
Even the back mountain of Jun Residence was comparable to a treasure mine.
the spiritual fruits growing there were so coveted that disputes could erupt to the extent of physical confrontations.
However, her previous understanding was still inadequate.
As an example, Honey Fruits did have spiritual energy and were beneficial for cultivation, but their effects weren’t as noticeable.
But the Wu Shen Fruit’s effect was incredibly significant.
There was a full plate on the table, and there was another plate placed besides Little Yuanxi and Xiaonan.
If she were to convert this to silver, how much would it be worth?
She just took a few bites; how many taels of silver did she consume?
Her excitement was getting the attention of Little Yuanxi and Xiaonan.
Gu Xiaonan asked curiously, “Why do we need so much money? The spiritual fruits from our family’s back mountain can’t be bought with money. Besides, we’ve planted five Wu Shen Fruit trees on the back mountain. If we can’t finish eating them, we can sell them.”
Tang Shijun was speechless..
