Luffy waited nervously for Li Quan to answer him.

He really wants 10,000 years of ginseng, eating the whole root will make him stronger, and it is his dream to become the first One Piece of the Heavenly Brand. This dream was so close to being realized, if it wasn't a step too late, he would have used the money he had exchanged for this Devil Fruit to buy one. It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, compared to strength, money is nothing!

In Luffy's expectant gaze, Li Quan nodded slowly and replied, "Yes." I have one request, though. ”

"What kind of requirements?" Luffy asked excitedly.

"I'm going to grow this Devil Fruit tree." Li Quan said.

"Uh, trees?" Luffy couldn't help but be stunned, and the expression on his face became colorful, "But, but! I didn't know that the Devil Fruit was grown on that tree. Or, on a different condition? He said in a consultative tone.

Li Quan shook his head non-negotiably, and said in a resolute tone: "I can do without the Devil Fruit, but I want that tree." If you can get me a tree with Devil Fruits, I can get it...... Well, I'll exchange 3 sticks of 10,000-year-old ginseng with you. ”

"So many of three?" Luffy was immediately excited, nodded again and again and agreed, "Okay, I'll go to sea to find it!" You'll find it! I'll get back to you when I find it! ”

After saying that, he hung up the communication in a hurry, and presumably set off to find the tree with the devil fruit on it.

What does Li Quan want for this tree trunk? Submitted to the system, of course. The system only recognizes the whole plant, it doesn't matter who you are with the Devil Fruit or not, only a single fruit is not enough, there must be a whole tree as a sample.

Maybe it was his luck, or Luffy's luck, and only a week later, Luffy contacted him again.

"Hello revered level 6 merchant boiled water! I found the Devil Fruit Tree you wanted! Shall we just swap them? In the picture, Luffy excitedly pointed to a tall strange tree behind him, which was still planted in the soil, and couldn't wait to say to Li Quan.

"Absolutely." Li Quan nodded and said. There was a plane terminal to distinguish the true from the fake, and he believed that this was the real Devil Fruit Tree.

The deal was completed quickly.

Li Quan exchanged 3 10,000-year-old ginseng for this Devil Fruit Tree. Because it is a barter, this transaction will not be included in the profit statistics, which is a pity.

"Great!" Luffy held the 10,000-year-old ginseng and danced, "Eating them can improve my strength a lot!" Thank you very much, you will always be my Luffy's friend! He said to Li Quan with a sincere face.

Li Quan added friends with the other party in an easy-going manner, and the two sides ended the communication.

What appeared in front of Li Quan was a big tree ten meters high, iron blue all over, with strange spiral patterns growing on the tree. There is no fruit on the branches, but this is an authentic sacred tree that can produce Devil Fruits, as long as it is cultivated and ripened a little, it is not easy to produce Devil Fruits?

The Devil Fruit is a very peculiar and magical fruit in the One Piece world, and anyone who eats the Devil Fruit will gain a superpower. The superpowers carried by each Devil Fruit are unique and different. It is said that only one person possessed this ability at the same time, and it was not until the death of the person who possessed one ability that the ability reappeared in other Devil Fruits.

Li Quan rejected a ready-made Devil Fruit in exchange for a tree that could grow Devil Fruits. Whether this is a loss or a gain will have to wait for him to cultivate this fruit tree.

When he came to the tall fruit tree, he put his hand on the trunk, stroked the strange spiral lines on the trunk, and then silently said "submit" in his heart, and the tall demon fruit tree immediately disappeared and was transferred to the system space.

Lin quickly made an identification that the arrival of this Devil Fruit Tree had added great species diversity to the system space, allowing Li Quan to gain 1,000 contribution points.

Due to the peculiarity, only 1 Devil Fruit Tree seed can be exchanged in the system space at a time, instead of several thousand at a time like other plants.

Li Quan immediately exchanged for a level 10 demon fruit tree seed, put it into the system cultivation garden, and began to optimize and cultivate it.

Needless to say, the optimization direction is, of course, the growth rate type. According to Luffy, it takes a long time for the Devil Fruit to grow, and if you want to see the results quickly, you need to increase the growth rate by at least 100 times. This is easy for Li Quan.

The optimized Devil Fruit Tree was quickly baked, and in the system plantation, the mutant tree that had been transferred in quickly produced a tree full of strange-shaped fruits. It looks like a pineapple and is covered with spiral textures. There are patterns that look like pomegranates, and the surface of the same strange looks. There are also triangular Devil Fruits, some that look like the moon, and some that simply string after bunch, all of which have strange and peculiar spiral patterns on their surfaces.

"This is the Devil Fruit?" Li Quan took a fruit the size of a football that looked like a pineapple, and exclaimed, "I just don't know if it will be useful if I eat it?" What kind of abilities do I get? Or is it because of the different planes, you can't get anything? Maybe the fruit will fail......"

Anything that is possible is there until you actually try it.

Fortunately, he can try boldly and is not afraid of being poisoned, because he has a unique affinity for plants, and the plant energy in his body can dissolve any plant toxins. That's what Lynn told him.

As for the side effects of consuming Devil Fruits, he couldn't swim from now on, Li Quan didn't care at all. Because he was a landlubber.

"Then I'll eat first as a respect!" Li Quan picked up the fruit, took a bite of it, and chewed, "Sweet and sour." ”

A Devil Fruit was quickly consumed, and Li Quan found that there seemed to be no change in his body.

"Is it not working?" Li Quanzheng was puzzled, and suddenly his face changed, becoming red, and then there was a burst of abdominal pain. A message that seemed to come to him as if it was born rushed into his mind.

Half an hour later.

Li Quan opened his mouth and breathed for a while before he smiled bitterly with sweat and said, "It's actually this ability......"

He remembered that Luffy ate a rubber fruit in One Piece, and the ability to give Luffy was the ability to stretch or contract any part of his body at will, such as stretching his arms, raising his legs, or......

In addition to the rubber fruits that Luffy ate, there are also thousands of various kinds of devil fruits, all of which bring unique abilities, and some of them are quite strange. Until the fruit is eaten, no one knows what the fruit contains. Li Quan didn't expect that the one he ate was the most bizarre one, called "Egg Fruit".

This egg fruit gave him a strange ability to turn into a ...... Uh, eggs. That's right, eggs. From now on, he will be able to turn into an authentic eggman in battle, wearing an eggshell and evolving when he takes fatal damage. As you evolve over time, your strength will continue to grow.

In fact, it's a very powerful Devil Fruit. In addition to the fact that the shape is a bit unsightly, Li Quan is still very optimistic about the ability attribute alone.

However, no matter how strong the ability attribute is, he is determined not to use it. The thought of turning into an egg in front of everyone in battle chilled his whole body, and he lost his face.

Unless it was a last resort, he made up a hundred determinations that he would never use this trick in normal times.

"It would be nice if I could change my ability again, but unfortunately, a person can only eat the next Devil Fruit once in his life, and even if he eats it again, his ability will not change." Li Quan looked at the fruitful plantation of the system, and there were at least dozens of fruit trees with various colors and shapes on it, and sighed at the trees.

To say that this deal has lost money is not true. Devil Fruits can add an ability to people out of thin air, the most important thing is that they are common to all planes, and they must be very well sold. Some plane merchants who are willing to gamble to give themselves an extra ability must not be in the minority.

With the Devil Fruit Tree, it is equivalent to saying that the Devil Fruit of the One Piece World has also become a rotten street commodity for him. In addition to 10,000-year-old ginseng, it has opened up another source of wealth.

Of course, you can also sell Devil Fruits to countries around the world, so that each country can secretly train a superpower force to fight against alien civilizations. In short, there are many uses.

Although he failed to add a practical ability to himself, Li Quan was not disappointed. In fact, as long as he wanted to, the plane market was so prosperous, whether he cultivated truth or practiced magic was no longer empty talk. But these did not match his own greatest ability, the ability brought to him by the system was already strong enough, and the potential was unlimited, he only had to dig deep to obtain the power that was not weaker than cultivation or magic.

The Devil Fruit episode has come to an end. In the next few days, Li Quan spent every day in the plane market studying how to dig deep into his system capabilities and borrow external forces to accelerate the progress of existing capabilities.

Since acquiring the system, the various abilities unlocked by traversing the system can be roughly divided into two main categories strictly speaking.

One is the Plant Legion and the other is the auxiliary class.

Li Quan felt that if he used the setting in the game as an analogy, he was like a summoner. There is a little bit of melee combat ability, and a little bit of ranged magic ability, but the most proficient is summoning the little brother, followed by a variety of convenient support classes and life-saving skills.

The plant army has come a long way with the addition of acidic melon gentlemen and Ferris cacti.

Support skills, such as perceptual plants, immune hallucinations, and immunity to plant toxins, are relatively fixed, and there is little room for improvement other than the perceptual plants that can increase their range.

It's a life-saving skill, Li Quan thinks that as a summoner type, he has the most important skill besides summoning plants. After all, if his body is hanging, it is useless to summon a little brother who is stronger than he is. He has to fight against an alien civilization, and the danger can be imagined.

The plant fusion unlocked by the level 9 system is Li Quan's most important means of preserving his life.

Plant fusion can only be regarded as a support skill in the initial stage, and it helps him refine his control over the plant army by possessing plants.

And when it comes to intermediate fusion, it immediately becomes a powerful fast teleportation ability that combines support and life-saving. It is no longer limited to the transmission of consciousness, but even the ontological body can be transmitted between all plants within a controllable range at will.

Imagine that when you are fighting, you can suddenly appear behind the enemy unnoticed, or when you need to retreat and escape, you can instantly teleport hundreds of kilometers away, making the enemy sigh. It's touching when you think about it. This is what he decided to achieve in fifty years, before the arrival of an extraterrestrial civilization, anyway. This will give him great confidence. To be honest, he was also afraid of death, he was not a hero in the first place, he was once just a small person, but now he told him that he may be the last and only line of defense for all mankind to have hope of resisting alien civilizations, and he is also very square in his heart. To say that you are not afraid is that it is a lie.

Therefore, the sky and the earth are big, and life is the greatest. However, at present, he can only let the plant fusion progress to the peak of the primary stage for the time being, and he has tried his best, if he wants to go further to the intermediate stage, it seems that he can only rely on external help.

His longer-term plan is to complete the advanced stage of plant fusion within a hundred years.

The primary stage is the transmission of consciousness, the intermediate stage is the transmission of the physical body, and the advanced stage is the transmission of life.

The fusion of high-level plants will allow him to fuse his life into all the plants within a certain range, which is equivalent to transforming all the plants in this range into his natal clone. Hundreds of millions of natal clones, as long as there is one survivor, he will not really die. This is the ultimate meaning of life-saving skills!

It must be difficult to achieve high-level integration. But fortunately, now there is a plane market, and there are many secrets in the high-level market that he has not discovered. Taking a step back, if you can't find it in the high-level market, there are rumors that there is a higher-level market that Level 7 merchants will be allowed to enter, which is probably where the "gods" trade. He doesn't seem to be particularly far away from a level 7 merchant either.

Perhaps a hundred years later, even he himself will become a god in the truest sense of the word. When the time comes, no matter what bullshit alien civilization is, he dares to come and catch all the ships and go to Africa to dig coal.

In his heart, Li Quan kept rummaging through the market, using the search function to query useful commodity information. It's not that the search function is not powerful, but there are too many products on the plane market. I don't know how many planes there are in the big plane, and the merchants of all planes are trading here, and God knows how many items are gathered in the entire plane market. Finding what he was looking for was still a physical job.

At this moment, Li Quan's eyes suddenly fixed on an inconspicuous commodity, and he let out a surprised "huh".

Then he immediately turned his head to ask Lin, who was reading a book carefully, and asked, "Lin, I remember that you seem to have said that the Heart of Source is the condensation of the original power of a plane. Wouldn't it help us if there was a fragment of a plane right now, saying it was a plane related to plants? ”

Lin looked up from the book, and her pretty face was rarely puzzled: "Plane...... Fragments? ”
