LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 83: Eighth-grade, Blood Spirit Fruit Tree
Next, Li Wei saw the Li family members bring the bodies of the deceased from the Lantier Wu family and Master Shancai to the Spirit Herb Garden. They drained their blood to nourish the Beast Blood Fruit Trees.
Now, there were three Beast Blood Fruit Trees.
The first Beast Blood Fruit Tree, which had been transplanted earlier, was growing increasingly lush with branches and leaves, reaching a height of ten meters!
However, Li Wei no longer valued the Beast Blood Fruit Trees as much as before.
Beast Blood Fruit Trees can be sold for money, and similarly, the potions refined by Li Yaoqing are also very valuable. The most crucial point is that there's no need to worry about people discovering the potion recipes because the ingredients simply don't exist on Earth!
Just as Li Wei was pondering how to use the large sum of spirit stones he had earned, in the game, Li Dalong was draining Master Shancai's blood, letting it drip onto the largest Beast Blood Fruit Tree.
Suddenly, roots from the Beast Blood Fruit Tree burst out of the ground, piercing into the corpse's dantian. The roots, like the mouthparts of a creature, began to suck!
The Beast Blood Fruit Tree underwent a strange transformation.
It even caused a rain shower from the sky. The raindrops, falling on the lush branches and leaves, produced a mysterious, yellowish liquid!
[Congratulations! Your descendants used the blood of a Golden Core Mid-stage expert to nourish the Beast Blood Fruit Tree, causing it to undergo a mutation. It has absorbed the power of the Golden Core and is beginning to evolve-]
[Into an Eighth-grade, Blood Spirit Fruit Tree!]
[The Blood Spirit Fruit Tree has developed a low level of sentience. It senses the Li family's nourishment and will anchor its roots within the Li family's territory, offering them protection with its life!]
[The Blood Spirit Fruit Tree bears fruit every thirty years.]
"Holy sh..?"
Li Wei was stunned. This was the first time he had witnessed the transformation of a spirit tree!
The Blood Spirit Fruit Tree, like a child who had been hungry for centuries and had just eaten its fill, swayed its branches and leaves, conveying its joy.
"The Ancestor has bestowed great power again, causing the Beast Blood Fruit Tree to transform! The Ancestor's might is comparable to that of immortals and gods!"
Witnessing this scene, Li Dalong immediately took out the ancestral tablet and kowtowed repeatedly.
Li Wei, in front of the screen, no longer bothered to question Li Dalong's wild imagination.
He casually picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Yuexian, three. I want to eat three chickens!"
"Master, there are only two chickens."
Yuexian's helpless voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Then roast a duck!"
Li Wei hung up the walkie-talkie.
The Beast Blood Fruit Tree had become a Blood Spirit Tree, which meant that the fruits it bore would also have greatly increased efficacy!
Moreover, the evolution of plants is truly a special phenomenon, often requiring years of gradual growth. Even the oldest known tree on Earth is only in sixth grade, and that's because it was already nearly ten thousand years old when the spiritual energy revived!
Filled with immense joy, Li Wei continued to accelerate time, observing the Li family's growth.
He also took a glance at the event log.
In fact, this time's harvest included a lot of equipment!
[Your family has killed 16 experts from the Lantier Wu family, obtaining a large number of spoils of war!]
[Obtained a top-grade spiritual artifact: the Spirit-Infused Robe!]
This was the robe once worn by Wu Mengqiu of the Lantier Wu family, now appearing no different from ordinary cloth.
However, this robe was extraordinary. During the siege by numerous spirit beasts, Wu Mengqiu relied on it to withstand the full-powered attacks of all the spirit beasts before finally being killed. Even after being pierced, this robe could repair itself within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
[Spirit-Infused Robe]
[Capable of automatic restoration and independent shape-shifting. In times of crisis, the robe protects the wearer, withstanding a full-powered attack from anyone below the False Core Formation stage. It also keeps the wearer's mind clear and prevents all illnesses!]
The Li family gained another top-grade spiritual artifact.
And Li Dalong gave the Spirit-Infused Robe to Li Yaowen. After all, this girl often traveled outside, and had encountered danger several times. Li Wei had even used the ancestral tablet to kill a few assassins for her.
[Obtained low-grade spiritual weapons...]
[Obtained mid-grade spiritual weapons...]
[Obtained Yellow-grade cultivation technique: Life-Nourishing Eternal Light Cultivation!]
Only the cultivation technique obtained from the Wu family caught Li Wei's eye.
This technique allows for faster cultivation compared to the Qi Absorption Technique, but it's not as powerful as the Qi Refinement technique from the Skyveil Secret Manual. However, its advantage lies in its ability to slightly increase the cultivator's lifespan!
Apart from that, there was nothing particularly special for the current Li family.
[Congratulations! Your family has defeated the Lantier Wu family in battle.]
[Through the careful planning of your descendant, Li Yaowen, and in collaboration with the Gu family, you have successfully subdued a cultivation family in Lantier Town, allowing both your families to take over all of the Wu family's industries there!]
[Obtained a large amount of mineral resources!]
Li Wei quickly opened the map.
At this moment, on the map, in the northwest direction of Tailin Town, an area marked as "Lantier Town" had completely turned green!
"Ancestor, this is fantastic! Half of Lantier Town now belongs to us! The Gu family gets 40%, and the controlled family gets 10%!"
In the ancestral hall, Li Yaowen was already reporting the good news to Li Wei.
At this time, even though this young lady was wearing a top-grade spiritual artifact that could change its form at will, she still wore her usual scholar's robe. Even though she had overcome her frail constitution due to the spiritual artifact, she still liked to sit in a wheelchair. In her words, it was to deceive the enemy by appearing weak.
"Big Brother now has one high-grade spiritual artifact and two mid-grade spiritual artifacts. He's practically invincible at the early Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Second Sister will be overjoyed when she comes out of seclusion. Lantier Town has a medicinal herb garden, and we can add eight new types of spirit herbs. This means Second Sister can try making the eighth-grade potion from the 'Thousand Herbs Classic,' the Heavenly Essence Restoration Elixir!"
"And Third Brother, with five types of ore and the Lantier Wu family's stockpile accumulated over many years, our Forging Pavilion has enough resources to last for ten or twenty years!"
"We even gained the loyalty of a ninth-grade alchemist!"
The Li family's influence expanded once again!
With the support of two towns, the Li family basically wouldn't have to worry about resources for the next twenty years.
Li Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
They could even refine pills now! Adding to that greedy alchemist the Li family had acquired earlier, they now had two alchemists!
A year of bountiful harvest quickly passed.
[Year 43rd]
[Your family had a busy year, with a large amount of resources waiting to be utilized.]
[Your descendant, Li Yunlin, who is at the Skyveil Sect, has emerged from seclusion!]
[After five years of self-reflection and cultivation, he has broken through to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement and gained the trait: Silent Lone Wolf!]
[No matter what he faces, he can always endure and remain silent, like a lone wolf. In combat, his strength increases by 10%, and when cultivating alone, his cultivation speed increases by 10%.]
Looking at Li Yunlin, who had emerged from seclusion with a stubble and a newfound sense of composure compared to before, the corners of Li Wei's mouth slightly rose.
It seemed this young man had matured during his five years of cultivation.
"Silent Lone Wolf, huh? I like it."
