Chapter 748: Pink Bottom Pear Orchard
The fifteen nascent soul realm elders were certainly not expecting such a change to happen in the Millennium forest.
The humans powers living around the millennium forest did know that the forest had some sources of spirit Qi in it. But due to the threat of the beasts, they never deemed it worth to enter the innermost area.
It was after all, known that the sixth ring where the rulers of the forest lived was the source of the spirit Qi. The few that had visited it had said that while it was better than the normal spirit Qi density of air, with the threat of the beasts and the harsh condition, it was not worth heading there.
Besides, the millennium forest brought them more resources in other forms such as beast materials and spirit herbs. So destroying the forest for the spirit Qi rich area wasn’t much of a viable option anyway.
But now… now they were blown away.
“This spirit Qi… this is on the level of our sect’s seclusion grounds for the core disciples?” One of the nascent soul realm elders belonging to a sect stated.
All of them could feel their meridian surging with spirit Qi.
“This speed… its over four times than normal for me!” The nascent soul realm elder from the Luguo kingdom said, feeling amazed.
The fifteen nascent soul realm cultivators all frantically looked around, wondering if there really was a natural treasure nearby. The fully expected that the high concentration of spirit Qi was caused due to some natural treasure and not just an overall increase in the forest.
To them, the latter was absurd, and there was no chance it would happen.
Fifteen sets of spirit senses spread around the area, speedily searching for anything that was rich in spirit Qi.
“THERE!” one of the sect’s elders shouted. “A Pink Bottom Pear!”
All the nascent soul realm elders looked towards the area he was pointing at and rushed there.
Lo-and-behold, there it was… A Pink Bottom Pear.
Just as its name suggested, the Pink Bottom Pear was a spirit fruit that had its lower half colored pink, while its top was a ripe yellow. It was a high grade spirit fruit that could help even nascent soul realm experts.
While it was weaker than the pills at the same level, the best thing about it was that it could be consumed as it is without needing to refine it. Compared to the time and effort spent in refining a pill of equivalent level, a spirit fruit like this was rather good.
Another plus point to it would be the lack of pill toxins as well.
“It really is a Pink Bottom Pear.” The nascent soul realm elders confirmed.
But they were in for a surprise.
“NO WAY!” The nascent soul realm elder from the Pale Marble Kingdom exclaimed. “There are more trees!”
That man forgot about his companions and flew in the direction.
“I’ll keep it for now. We’ll decide later on how to divide it.” The nascent soul realm minister of the Ling Kingdom stated.
Since he was somewhat of a leader here, it was fine with the other nascent soul realm elders. To them, if there was a chance of more resources, it was worth putting the fruit at hand at side.
The fourteen nascent soul realm elders flew in the direction where the nascent soul realm elder from the Pale Marble kingdom had gone and saw something that left their jaws wide open.
“HEAVENS!”
“ANCESTOR’S WHISKERS!”
They were left utterly stunned at what could only be described as an entire orchard of Pink Bottom Pears. It was as if the one lone Pink Bottom Pear they had seen before was just a random tree that had barely managed to grow out of the orchard.
Here the Pink Bottom Pear trees were tall and robust. There were tens of ripe Pink Bottom Pears hanging on their branches while there were even more of the fruits that were still unripe.
They looked at the rows upon rows of trees and couldn’t even imagine how they grew here.
“How many are there, even?” One of the nascent soul realm sect elders wondered.
“Ninety six… ninety nine… hundred and eight… THERE ARE HUNDRED AND EIGHT TREES!” Someone counted.
“How is this even possible…?” the elders were left stunned.
A few elders looked at their hands and counted on their fingers before feeling woozy.
“This… just these trees alone are worth twice the assets my entire Lily sect has…” one of the nascent soul realm elders said, finding it absurd.
He was from a lower mid level sect that was located near the territory of the Luguo kingdom named the Lily sect. They specialized in growing spirit herbs and spirit fruits, mainly and supplied to the nearby powers.
The estimation of the nascent soul realm elders of the Lily sect was the most authentic appraisal that the others could agree with.
“We shall divide this all equally!” One of the nascent soul realm elder said hurriedly.
“Yes! Yes! We have to do it that way!” The others agreed.
But just as one of the elders was about to lay his hand on a Pink Bottom Pear hanging from the tree, the minister of the Ling kingdom shouted.
“HALT!”
The elders stopped in response and looked towards the minister.
“What’s the problem, minister?” The nascent soul realm elder from the Lily sect asked.
A few others though, had different thoughts popping up in their heads.
“Don’t tell me the Ling Kingdom want’s to get a bigger share?” One of the sect elders asked.
The representatives from the Luguo Kingdom and Pale Marble Kingdom too shared a similar expression and looked at the minister.
“That’s not it…” The nascent soul realm minister of the Ling Kingdom said.
~gulp~
The other two nascent soul realm elders beside him swallowed their saliva, feeling pressured from the looks of everyone around them.
If they decided to attack together, there was no way they would be able to survive here.
