Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 68: Spiritual Fruit

The next day, Fang Hong drove the vehicle he obtained from the Zhao State Cultivator, speeding towards the middle area of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden.

While on his way, Fang Hong didn’t forget to pay attention to his surroundings.

This seemingly lifeless barren plain actually held hidden secrets, bringing him unexpected surprises from time to time.

Indeed, as he traveled, he successively discovered ten spirit medicines.

These spirit medicines were all four to five hundred years old, each radiating Spiritual Qi, and Fang Hong’s eyes lit up instantly upon seeing them.

With such a harvest in this peripheral area, he couldn’t help but secretly speculate that the spirit medicines in the middle area would be even more abundant.

It seemed this trip to Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden would be fruitful!

As he was thinking this, Fang Hong’s gaze inadvertently caught some green shadows in the distance.

He thought he had seen wrong, but as the distance gradually closed, he confirmed it was an oasis!

Fang Hong’s heart rejoiced; an oasis must have a Spiritual Vein with abundant Spiritual Qi, and perhaps even more precious spirit medicines could be found there!

He unhesitatingly drove the vehicle, speeding towards the oasis.

...

After nearly half an incense stick of time, Fang Hong finally arrived in front of this oasis.

He put away his four-wheeled vehicle and entered the oasis using the Wind Control Technique.

The sight before him filled him with awe; tall trees were lush and green, with dense foliage, and the entire oasis was vibrant, forming a stark contrast to the barren plains outside.

As Fang Hong ventured deeper into the oasis, he cautiously extended his Divine Sense to the surroundings, checking for medicinal materials or Demonic Beasts.

"Rustle..."

Just as Fang Hong had not gone far into the oasis, a subtle sound came from ahead.

Fang Hong’s heart tightened; it seemed his thoughts had materialized.

He looked closely and saw, in a nearby burrow, scarlet scorpions crawling out!

These scorpions were massive, each the size of an adult’s head, covered in a hard red carapace, which was also adorned with sharp barbs.

"So, they are Red-Armored Scorpions, excellent!" Fang Hong, upon seeing the dense swarm of scorpions, was not afraid; instead, he grew excited.

This group of Red-Armored Scorpions was not weak, all of them being Level 3 Demonic Beasts, and their numbers were vast, estimated at about five hundred.

If an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Late-Phase Cultivator encountered them, he would probably have fled in terror long ago.

But in Fang Hong’s eyes, these Red-Armored Scorpions were all spirit pills that could enhance his cultivation!

Fang Hong’s expression calmed down. Once the Red-Armored Scorpions came within a certain range, he quickly took out the Formation Disk and four Formation Flags of the Four Symbols Formation from his storage bag.

"Go!" Fang Hong lightly shouted, throwing the Formation Flags around him forcefully into the four corners. The Formation Flags arced through the air and firmly embedded themselves into the ground.

Immediately after, he quickly took out two spirit stones, gripped them tightly with both hands, and began to activate the Formation Disk.

The movements were smooth and practiced.

"Boom!"

As Fang Hong’s magical power was injected, a small Four Symbols Formation rose from the ground, instantly enclosing the five hundred Red-Armored Scorpions.

The Four Symbols Formation Spirit quietly emerged within the formation, majestic and imposing.

"Bang bang bang..." The Four Symbols Formation Spirit was very powerful. Batches of Red-Armored Scorpions were crushed to death, their bodies lying scattered on the ground, utterly defenseless.

They struggled frantically, attacking the formation with their pincers and barbs, but they could not break through the sturdy formation barrier.

After all, Fang Hong’s set of Four Symbols Formation artifacts was refined from four types of Level 4 Demonic Beasts. Both in terms of materials and power, it was far superior to the set used by the Xiao Family mother and daughter.

Let alone this group of Level 3 Demonic Beasts; even Level 4 Demonic Beasts would not be able to withstand the power of such a formidable formation.

Under the formation’s attack, the Red-Armored Scorpions let out piercing hisses, attempting to break free from the formation’s restraint, but all was in vain...

In less time than it takes to eat a meal, this aggressive swarm of Red-Armored Scorpions was completely wiped out.

Their bodies lay scattered within the formation, a scene of devastation.

Fang Hong nodded in satisfaction, a relieved smile on his face.

He gently waved his right hand, and a surge of magical power emanated from his palm, retracting all the surrounding Formation Flags.

Against this type of group Demonic Beast, a formation was indeed the most effective method.

Without any delay, Fang Hong quickly took out his demon gourd and absorbed all five hundred Red-Armored Scorpion corpses into it, refining them into spirit pills.

He harvested a total of five hundred Level 3 Spirit Pills—a great harvest!

After dealing with this group of Red-Armored Scorpions, Fang Hong continued deeper into the oasis.

Since Red-Armored Scorpions appeared here, there must be other Demonic Beasts as well.

As he walked, Fang Hong reached the center of the oasis.

A clear blue lake appeared before him, its water crystal clear to the bottom, and the Spiritual Qi here was noticeably more abundant than in other parts of the oasis.

"That is!" Suddenly, Fang Hong’s gaze was drawn to a small tree, about ten feet tall, on the opposite bank of the lake.

This small tree grew on the far side of the lake, its leaves gray, surrounded by shimmering spiritual light, clearly a Spirit Tree!

Most importantly, Fang Hong saw two gray fruits on the tree, strangely shaped, looking like two iron spheres.

"It’s an Heavenly Body fruit tree! Excellent, excellent!" Fang Hong’s heart immediately filled with joy; he had recognized the origin of this Spirit Tree. To be precise, it was a Spiritual Fruit Tree named "Heavenly Body Tree."

This tree flowers every hundred years and bears mature fruit every five hundred years, and the Spirit Fruit it produces is called "Heavenly Body fruit."

Fang Hong learned about this information from books in the sect’s Scripture Pavilion. This Heavenly Body fruit is not very effective for increasing magical power, but it can strengthen tendons and bones, enhancing a Cultivator’s Physical Body strength, making it a rare Spirit Fruit.

However, Fang Hong was a little puzzled; logically, when an Heavenly Body fruit tree flowers and bears fruit, there shouldn’t be only two fruits on the tree.

Fang Hong felt a subtle sense of unease in his heart, so he cautiously extended his Divine Sense to the bottom of the lake...

Sure enough, he discovered two hidden auras lurking at the bottom of the lake, and these two auras were not weak; they should be two Level 4 Demonic Beasts!

A faint smile appeared on Fang Hong’s lips. He pretended to be nonchalant and walked to an open space by the lake, seemingly casually observing his surroundings, but in reality, he was secretly setting up the Four Symbols Formation around him.

As Fang Hong walked, suddenly, with a resounding "bang," the lake surface violently broke open, and two dark figures leaped out from the bottom of the lake, launching a surprise attack on Fang Hong!

Fang Hong had sensed them earlier, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly dodged to the side, easily evading the ambush.

Once he steadied himself and looked closely, he saw that they were two toads.

These two toads had strange appearances, one male and one female, their entire bodies a peculiar silver, covered with black patterns.

They were enormous, nearly two zhang in size, especially the male toad, whose aura was even more powerful!
