Chapter 4630 Nine-Precious Fruit
Chapter 4630 Nine-Precious Fruit
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu was taken aback, then asked with a wry smile, "Why does Yue'er say he's pitiful?"
Yue'er looked up at her mother, her innocent eyes blinking. "Because I don't talk to him much, so he just sits there quietly. He doesn't talk to anyone else either. And he often stares into space, like he's thinking about something."
She continued, "But when Yue'er talks to him, he's very happy. He smiles, and he lets me call him Master. He also gives Yue'er delicious fruit to eat. Mother, Yue'er secretly saved it for you, even though Big Brother and Little Brother don't get any. They're for you to eat." Like a cunning little fox, she pulled the fruit she had hidden from her space and presented it to her mother as if it were a treasure.
"This is... a Nine-Precious Fruit?"
Feng Jiu stared at the spirit fruit in shock. It was an orange-red fruit, the size of an adult's fist, shaped like a budding flower. The fruit's shape was formed by nine segments of flesh, and its tip was a vibrant red. It emitted a faintly alluring and refreshing fragrance. Just smelling it made one feel invigorated, as if bathed in gentle spirit energy.
Feng Sanyuan, Feng Xiao, and the others looked at the fruit with surprise. They had seen many precious spirit fruits, but none like this. However, "Nine-Precious Fruit"? From Feng Jiu's reaction, it seemed exceptionally rare.
"Mother, what is the Nine-Precious Fruit?" Yue'er asked curiously, blinking her beautiful eyes.
Feng Jiu smiled and shook her head. "Yue'er, it seems this 'strange uncle' is quite something. I've only seen Nine-Precious Fruits in books; I never imagined..."
"Mother, Yue'er ate two on the way!" She held up her chubby little finger, beaming with pride. "This is the third fruit, but Yue'er didn't want to eat it, so she hid it before the 'strange uncle' saw. He doesn't know!"
"Little Nine, is this fruit precious? What does it do? Can Yue'er eat two of them and her body handle it?" Feng Xiao asked.
Feng Jiu chuckled. "This fruit is extraordinary. It's considered the ultimate immortal fruit. If a mortal smells it, their lifespan increases by a hundred years. If they take a bite, even a mortal without a spiritual root can enter the world of cultivation. And if a cultivator eats it, their lifespan increases by a thousand years, and their spirit energy becomes more abundant and pure."
Seeing their astonished expressions, Feng Jiu continued, "Not only that, but if a dying person eats it, they can be revived and their strength restored to its peak. According to the books, it takes 9,000 years to grow, 900 years to bloom, 900 years to bear fruit, and another 900 years to ripen. That's why it's called the Nine-Precious Fruit. It's a fairy fruit, not a spiritual fruit, and is incredibly precious."
Yue'er's eyes widened, and she stretched out her little finger to count. "Yue'er ate two! One is a thousand years, and two are two thousand years." Then, looking worried, she asked, "Mother, will Yue'er still grow? Will she stay small forever and be two thousand years old?"
