Chapter 535 - 535 Picking Metal Spirit Fruit



535 Picking Metal Spirit Fruit

The whole small tree was golden, as if it was cast from gold. It was more than perfect, and even its leaves were pure gold. On its surface, there were traces of golden vein lines, which were exquisite.

A gust of wind blew, and the branches’ leaves swayed gently, giving off a crisp sound of metal rubbing against each other like wind chimes.

This small tree was not very tall, only about the height of a person. It did not have many branches, but it manifested strong Metal Laws.

The aura of the laws seemed to be the embodiment of the Art of Metal. Looking at it gave one a sense of enlightenment, but at the same time, one could also feel threads of Sharp Qi on the soul with numb and terrible pain.

The most important thing was that more than a dozen golden fruits were hanging on the tree.

These fruits weren’t large, only the size of walnuts. On the surface, there were deep, dark golden patterns intertwining on them, making them look extremely mystical. There was even a divine light circulating within them.

“This is the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree and the fruit it bears. It’s said that these fruits contain the purest Metal Origin Laws and can even be refined into divine weapons. Also, a top-rank powerhouse used the metal spirit fruit to refine a divine weapon called Metal Spirit Pearl, which is magical,” Ye Qiu said with an excited tone.

These fruits were too precious and rare. The most valuable treasure here was the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree, and the ultimate metal seemed nothing compared to it.

“Eighteen metal spirit fruits!”

People moved forward and saw eighteen metal spirit fruits on the tree, which were golden and emitted the same origin aura. Any one of these treasures’ value was beyond measure, and there were eighteen of them here. They couldn’t even imagine how much they were worth.

Moreover, these fruits were emitting a faint strange aura. They should be ripe and could be picked at any time.

These were real treasures!

“Country Lord, let me help you pick them!” Zhao Yun said.

He was also worried that the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree might have some hidden danger, so he volunteered.

He took a step forward, reached out, grabbed a metal spirit fruit, and pulled it with force.

What?

“What’s going on?”

He had thought that picking a fruit would be like a walk in the park, but out of his expectations, the fruit to not move at all. Even if he used all his strength, the fruit was still on the tree.

It was as if he had not grabbed a fruit but a mountain, which was motionless. He could not pull it off, and there was a look of embarrassment on Zhao Yun’s face.

In the end, even if he pulled the fruit with all his might and activated his genuine Qi, it still didn’t work.

“How is this possible?”

Zhao Yun’s reaction made everyone have a shock in their eyes.

“Don’t waste your energy. It’s useless. As far as I know, picking metal fruit requires a special technique, and we can’t treat them like ordinary fruit. It’s the same for the other five elements fruits,” Ye Qiu quickly explained to save Zhao Yun from the awkward situation.

He then smiled and said, “Among the five elements, there are mutual promotion and restraint. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Metal counters wood, metal begets water, fire counters metal, and earth begets metal. Therefore, to pick the metal spirit fruit, one must follow the principle of the five elements’ mutual restraint. One could only knock it with a tool of fire attribute, and it would fall naturally. However, there was also a need to pay attention to the utensils used. They had to follow the law of the five elements and use an earth attribute vessel to hold it. Otherwise, the metal spirit fruit will hide when it touches metal and wither when it touches fire. Only an item with the earth attribute can keep its origin and spirituality intact!”

The higher the grade of the spirit fruit, the more particular the method of picking it was.

“I see!”

Li Xiang nodded. If it wasn’t for Ye Qiu, he wouldn’t have known about the knowledge and might have picked the spirit fruit by force. Till then, it would probably cause a lot of damage to pluck these precious treasures.

After that, he followed Ye Qiu’s method and used a fire attribute item to knock on it. Then, he used a box made of stone to store it. Within a few minutes, he picked all eighteen metal spirit fruits.

In the end, Li Xiang stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree, silently saying, “Collect!”

In an instant, the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree was sent to the third level of the Tower of Stars, Green Lotus Combat Sword Plane.

“The roots of the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree are tougher than the ultimate metal, so they were not affected by it and were easily pulled out. The ultimate metal was like a scabbard, and the foundation was the combat sword. It did not take much effort to pull it out. As for Green Lotus Combat Sword Plane, it’s also filled with Metal Origin. The entire plane is filled with a limitless sword and metal aura. It’s a perfect place to store these fruit.”

He had just given it a shot and not expected to successfully pick the fruit.

However, with the disappearance of the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. Even the luster of the ultimate metal under their feet had dimmed.

It was obvious that the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree was the core of the metal land. Without it, it was nothing but an ordinary land.

At this moment, the Metal Spirit Fruit Tree landed in Green Lotus Grotto-heaven and immediately took root. After the entire space trembled with a loud rumble, even Qinglian Excalibur trembled slightly and sang joyfully.

If it wasn’t for Li Xiang’s control, the entire grotto heaven would have been out of control and upgraded to a plane.

Li Xiang controlled the advancement of the grotto heaven and waited for the Tower of Stars to calm down before he raised his hand and handed Fu Mingxue a stone box.

“Brother Fu, this is for you!”

Fu Mingxue was stunned for a moment. Looking at the stone box in his hand, he was thrilled.

He knew it was the box for the metal spirit fruit earlier. After opening it, he saw a flash of golden light. It was a metal spirit fruit.

He had already heard the value of this metal spirit fruit during the conversation and expected to receive it as a reward from Li Xiang after making more contributions in the future. Much to his surprise, it was a gift for him.

This was a great gift, but the last thing he wanted was to owe someone a favor.

However, this thing was too important to him. Moreover, thinking about it, he realized that he owed Li Xiang too much. Instead of refusing the metal spirit fruit, he held it in his hand.

However, he seemed hesitant.

“I mean…”

“You’ve already reached the bottleneck of a breakthrough and just need another Law. This metal spirit fruit is just right for you. Take it, and don’t overthink. This is a gift for you, and I don’t want you to owe me anything. The more powerhouses from the Human race fight against the Bug race, the better. The stronger you are, the better it will be for the Kingdom of Dawn and me. Don’t worry. I would do this for anyone else in the same situation!” Li Xiang gave him a faint smile and said with a calm expression.

Fu Mingxue grabbed the stone box and nodded. Without saying anything, he put the box away.
