Chapter 17: Maturity
Looking at the red heart fruit tree again, the red heart fruit tree at this moment has been wrapped tightly in the white miasma, if you use the naked eye to watch, you can't see the situation inside the miasma at all, fortunately, Ye Jialuo is using the formation field to investigate, through the mirror image in the spiritual sea, I saw strands of white miasma converging towards the nine red heart fruits, the skin of the red heart fruit is slowly turning purple, once the red heart fruit turns dark purple, that is the time of ripeness.
The ripe red heart fruit is not red, but dark purple, only the heart part of the fruit is red, and it is the heart of the fruit that can play its due role, and the flesh part is no different from the ordinary spirit fruit.
The miasma extracted from the spirit gathering array is majestic and thick, and its richness is not known how many times stronger than when the cave is opened, and a piece of red can be seen when the cave is first opened, but now the entire spirit gathering array is shrouded in white miasma, and the red light of the fire crystal is completely engulfed.
Yejialuo was sure that this red heart fruit tree was definitely not the first time to bear fruit, because the miasma in this fire crystal was too thick, and the miasma had already emerged through the mountain when it was first discovered, and this was not the first time that the fruit could be caused, only when these fire crystals and the abdominal wall of the mountain were eroded to the point that they could no longer absorb the miasma will spill out.
Fortunately, these miasma has no tendency to spread outward, no matter what, the change is in the Spirit Gathering Array, otherwise Yejialuo will also avoid its edge, and Yejialuo can see that the miasma in the Spirit Gathering Array is converging towards the Red Heart Fruit through the formation field, and the nine Red Heart Fruits are slowly absorbing the miasma, and the color on the skin of the fruit begins to change to purple.
An hour passed, the miasma coming out of the fire crystal was decreasing, and the miasma in the spirit gathering array was not so strong, and Zi Yan could faintly see the flickering red light of the fire crystal.
"It smells so good!" Zi Yan, who was waiting boredly, suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, shrugged her little Yao nose like a heavenly carving, looked at the Spirit Gathering Array with wide eyes, and involuntarily took two steps closer to the Spirit Gathering Array.
This fragrance Ye Jia Luo also smelled, this is a peach-like fragrance, as if to tell others that it is very sweet and delicious, Ye Jia Luo knew that this was a sign of the ripeness of the red heart fruit, nodded faintly and said: "When the red heart fruit is ripe, it will be more fragrant!" ”
This fragrant fragrance became more and more fragrant, and the sweet smell at this time had filled the entire cave, and the miasma in the Spirit Gathering Array had also become thinner, and I don't know how long it took, a stronger aroma overflowed from the Red Heart Fruit, and it had spread towards the outside of the cave in an instant.
"It's almost ripe, and it's still a little bit hot!" Ye Jialuo estimated for a while, and waited until the red heart fruit absorbed these miasma to mature, Ye Jialuo was also a little lucky, fortunately, he had some thoughts on this fire crystal mine to extract all the miasma in it, otherwise this time the red heart fruit would not be able to ripen, and it would take a little more effort.
What Yejialuo didn't know was that the aroma of the red heart fruit continued to spread outward after rushing out of the cave, which could be said to be fragrant for hundreds of miles, but it was precisely because of this that it caused a riot of nearby demon beasts.
The demon beast is very sensitive to the breath of heaven and earth spirits, and when they smell this fragrance, they understand that there is a treasure of heaven and earth, and they all smell the fragrance one by one.
"Roaring ......" At this time, five demon beasts have gathered outside the cave, this demon beast is the first to smell the fragrance and rush to come, and it happens to gather at the entrance of the cave at this moment, they have found the source of the fragrance is this cave, but several demon beasts met outside the cave, and they were all on guard, and no one let anyone.
The demon beasts in this square circle are just sixth-order general realm demon beasts, these demon beasts understand from this fragrance that the things in the cave are of great benefit to their own cultivation, and in the face of such opportunities, there are several parties competing for each other, and no one is willing to give in, this kind of low-level demon beast thinking is relatively simple, since no one is subject to anyone, then there is only to do it.
"Miss, there's a monster approaching!" Zi Yan listened to the roar of the beast at the entrance of the cave, obviously not just one head, listening to the rich voice, she knew that her cultivation had reached the same level as herself, and her body couldn't help but tremble, one or two heads were fine, if she was blocked by a large group of demon beasts at the entrance of the cave, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape by then.
Ye Jialuo took a look at the entrance of the cave through the formation, and found that they were all some sixth-order demon beasts, too, if it was a high-level demon beast, it would not come, after all, the sense of the demon beast was very keen, although it didn't necessarily know what appeared in it, but with the breath of this red heart fruit, he could judge whether it was beneficial to himself.
At this time, there were already six demon beasts at the entrance of the cave, one was a land bear, two wind wolves, a spotted tiger, a two-headed python, and a toad.
"It's just garbage, calm down, don't be nervous!" Ye Jialuo retracted his mind and opened his closed eyes, and Zi Yan immediately saw the gossip circulating in Ye Jialuo's eyes, and the mysterious runes flashed on the gossip.
"Yes, Miss, I see!" Zi Yan didn't know what Yejialuo's strength was, but it seemed that she hadn't disappointed herself since this time, but it was unexpected, since Yejialuo said it was rubbish, it must be rubbish.
"Well, don't mess with me, if you want to die, it's not bad for me to collect some materials!" Ye Jialuo's voice was a little cold, and there was a trace of murderous intent in her eyes, Zi Yan looked at Ye Jialuo's eyes and involuntarily took two steps back.
Ye Jialuo didn't know why her killing intent was so heavy, maybe it was a few years of black house life in that world, maybe it was because she was crippled since she was a child, she didn't have the strength to feel anything before, and she was not qualified to resist and complain, but now she has walked out of a bright road, and everything she has experienced has changed her state of mind.
"Hum" At this moment, the fiery red light of the Gathering Spirit Array flickered, and I saw that the miasma in the Gathering Spirit Array had been devoured by the nine Red Heart Fruits, and the formation patterns on the Spirit Gathering Array had also been converted from white miasma to fiery red fire spiritual power, and then seeing that the nine Red Heart Fruits had turned into dark purple all over the body, Ye Jialuo closed his eyes and said to Zi Yan: "Prepare the jade box, this Red Heart Fruit is about to ripen!" ”
Hearing this, Zi Yan took out a jade box from the space ring, this jade box is made of cold jade, and jade is generally used to hold elixir spiritual objects in the Luotian Continent, because jade has a good preservation effect, the jade box that Zi Yan took out is a little smaller than the face plate, but it is more than enough to hold these nine red heart fruits.
"After the red heart fruit is ripe, you must pick it in the shortest possible time, not more than ten breaths!" Ye Jialuo himself can't pick it with his own hands, because there are already many demon beasts outside the cave, although they are all stalemate with each other now, but at the moment when the red heart fruit is ripe, they will definitely be bee chrysalis, although the strength of these demon beasts is not strong, and it is impossible to pose a threat to Ye Jialuo, but there are no less than thirty demon beasts outside, and it will always be a waste of time to clean up, and the time to pick the red heart fruit is only ten breaths, and Ye Jialuo must stop them to fight for Zi Yan for these ten breaths.
"Why is that, is it still going to disappear?" Zi Yan blinked her watery eyes.
"The Red Heart Fruit can only be picked within ten breaths after it is ripe, otherwise the Red Heart Fruit will be transformed into a poisonous fruit in an instant!" Although Ye Jialuo can't look down on it, it's because she can't use it even if she is a formation cultivator, but it is undeniable that treasures like the Red Heart Fruit that have no side effects to improve a great realm are still very scarce, although they are only limited to below the Shuai Realm, they are also priceless.
Chixinguo Yejialuo can't look down on it, but it doesn't mean that she is willing to waste or spoil the demon beasts, Yejialuo thinks about bringing it back to Yejiazhuang to deal with Fu Bo is also a good choice, if it is a good nighthouse, the future of the future is uncertain, even if it can't, it will increase a few handsome realm monks in a short time, don't underestimate the handsome realm monks, Zi Yan is only a general now, Yejiazhuang is in a corner of Yunzhou, and Shuai Realm is also a master in such an environment.
Among the nine red heart fruits, Zi Yan needs one, and Ye Jialuo also plans to leave one for Xiao Cui, after all, Xiao Cui has taken care of herself for so long and delayed her cultivation, which is also what she deserves, so there are still seven pieces, even if the children of Yejiazhuang can't use it, let Fu Bo take it to auction and sell it for a sky-high price, Ye Jialuo as the eldest lady of Yejiazhuang, since there is a chance, it is also appropriate to do something for Yejiazhuang, so Ye Jialuo will not allow these red heart fruits to be ruined by demon beasts.
"When the red heart fruit is ripe, you just pick it in the shortest possible time, and I'll intercept the demon beast!" Ye Jialuo looked at the red heart fruit that had matured and solemnly admonished Zi Yan.
"Demon beasts?" Zi Yan was taken aback when she heard this, and then she thought that there were a lot of demon beasts outside the cave, and said, "Miss, how can this be done, or I'll intercept the demon beasts, and Miss will pick the red heart fruit!" ”
Ye Jialuo raised her eyebrows, pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Do you think your strength is stronger than me?" ”
"But there are too many monsters outside......
"It's okay!" Ye Jialuo waved her hand to interrupt Zi Yan, and said disdainfully: "No matter how much garbage there is, it's just a pile of garbage, it's just a matter of time to clean up!" ”
At this moment, the red heart fruit burst out with a stronger fragrance, this fragrance is different from the previous fragrance, this is a fragrance like a hundred flowers incense, it is very intoxicating, Ye Jialuo knows that this is the red heart fruit is ripe, if ten breaths of time pass when the red heart fruit becomes a poisonous fruit, it is not intoxication, but temptation, Ye Jialuo saw the red heart fruit ripe and immediately shouted to Zi Yan: "Hurry up and pick it!" ”
After Ye Jia Luo finished speaking, he activated the shape-shifting array and transferred a shadow to the entrance of the cave, and Ye Jia Luo's mind moved, and the next moment he disappeared into the cave.
Zi Yan didn't dare to slack off when she looked at Ye Jialuo's disappearing figure, picked up the jade box and performed the leaning technique, and rushed out towards the red heart fruit tree.
