727 A bad Feeling
When they arrived at the orchard, Qin Xi saw two fruits growing on the tree. The fruits were bright red, as red as blood. The strange black totem on them made it look demonic and mysterious.
Qin Xi walked over and couldn’t help but look at the fruit. After a moment, she reached out to touch it, but she realized that there seemed to be a protective membrane around the fruit that prevented her from getting close.
She frowned and recalled that this tree had once diluted her Mystic True Qi. After thinking for a moment, she tried to circulate the Mystic True Qi in her body while touching it.
As expected, the tree seemed to be very familiar with her Mystic True Qi. As she approached, the membrane slowly opened. Qin Xi’s eyes lit up and she quickly plucked a fruit.
Jiu Yuan leaned over curiously. “Can this thing be eaten? Why do I have a bad feeling when I look at the pattern on it? It feels uncomfortable!”
Qin Xi, on the other hand, was the opposite. She had an urge to smell the alluring fragrance emitted by this fruit, as if someone who had been hungry for a long time had suddenly seen delicious food.
Unknowingly, she took a bite in adrift.
As soon as she took a bite of the fruit, a rich fragrance filled her mouth with a hint of coolness. It instantly slid down her throat, and right on the heels of that, a warm current flowed down her throat.
Qin Xi immediately felt warm and comfortable. She closed her eyes and was intoxicated. When she opened her eyes, she was left surprised and shocked.
“What’s wrong? Is it poisonous? I knew it. This fruit looks very strange.”
Seeing the change in her expression, Jiu Yuan thought that the fruit was poisonous.
“No…” Qin Xi opened her mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.
The effect of this fruit was simply extraordinary. Just a small bite could help her advance two stages in cultivation. If she swallowed it all, she would probably be able to reach the fifth realm in one go. Even if she couldn’t reach the fifth realm, she could at least reach the peak of the fourth realm.
It had to be noted that the higher one cultivated the Mystic Medical Technique, the more difficult it would be to cultivate it. Last time, after devouring the cultivation of the Yin family’s Patriarch, she accidentally advanced a stage. After that, she even took many spirit pills. Unfortunately, she still couldn’t break through to the fifth realm.
Unexpectedly, this fruit gave her a pleasant surprise. Without saying a word, she swallowed the entire fruit and sat cross-legged to digest the spiritual energy contained in it.
As time passed, Qin Xi’s aura gradually rose and she vaguely reached the threshold of the fifth realm. However, as the sky gradually darkened, she still did not move.
The more Jiu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He called out softly, but Qin Xi seemed to have turned off her five senses and could not hear him at all.
His heart skipped a beat. He raised his voice and called out twice, but Qin Xi still did not react.
This time, Jiu Yuan was certain that something was wrong with Qin Xi. For a moment, he did not know what to do. Just as he was scratching his head, Qin Xi’s face gradually changed from a blush to a bloody red. She staggered around as if she was drunk, but she did not fall down.
Jiu Yuan was clueless. Seeing that her condition was getting worse and the sky was getting darker, he gritted his teeth and decided to look for Han Shi.
On the other side, at the winery construction site.
Han Shi was eating with the construction workers.
The vegetables they ate were all shipped over from Shangwan Village’s greenhouse. After eating this vegetable, the fatigue in their bodies was swept away. Moreover, they were energetic every day and were very efficient at work.
