Chapter 291 - 291: Consuming The Crimson Spirit Fruit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the five Grade 5 War Generals from the Nie family heard the old man’s words, they froze in the same spot.
As a member of the Nie family, they knew very well the underlying meaning in the old man’s words.
Although it was good that they could avoid the death sentence, the punishment meted out by the Nie family to those members who did not complete their missions or fail in their missions could be a lot worse than death.
When they recalled the methods the family used to punish those who failed in their missions, the five fellows broke out in cold sweat.
Looking at the trembling bodies of the five people, their forehead covered densely with sweat, the old man said indifferently, “If the five of you don’t want to be punished, it’s not impossible, but, well.. ‘
Box
As the old man’s voice trailed off, he gave the five people a rather meaningful look.
When they saw the old man’s demeanor, the leader of the five people hurriedly took out his interspatial ring from his coat with some heartache and handed it to the old man.
“Elder, this is a small token of appreciation from the five of us brothers. I hope you will accept it, Elder!”
As the leader spoke somewhat against his will, he deactivated and relinquished ownership of the interspatial ring with a great sense of heartache.
Looking at the interspatial ring handed over by the leader, the old man’s face, which had been extremely grim, relaxed slightly.
Following that, the old man put the interspatial ring away and continued, “It seems that you lot still cared for the family! On behalf of the family, I will forgive you all for the time being!”
“But if this happens again, you won’t get to live anymore.”
After saying that, the old man stood up and vanished before the five Grade 5 War Generals.
Now that the old man had finally left, the five Grade 5 War Generals heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Their legs buckled under them and they fell to their knees on the ground.
“Big Brother, what should we do now
One of the Grade 5 War Generals said this to his big brother with some heartache.
The other three people next to him were also sitting there, somewhat paralyzed with heartache.
When he heard his own brother’s words, the leader of the five could not help but shake his head. Then he said with a long sigh, “We can still save up again if our savings are gone! But if we are captured by the family and dealt with in accordance with the family law, we will suffer a fate worse than death!”
“All right. Let’s pack up and get ready to escort the Young Master and the others back. We should not have come to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm this time in the first place…”
After the big brother finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room designated for resting for the cultivators who came to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.
With this instruction from their big brother, the other four had no choice but to pack up their things helplessly.
Meanwhile, back in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. At this moment, the sky had turned bright considerably. Sitting cross-legged in a cave, Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the sunlight spilling in from outside the cave, Lu Yu stood up and stretched himself.
“Sigh! Four days have passed since I came to this Primal Chaos Secret Realm, yet my cultivation level has only just broken through to the Grade 2 War
General level. If this progress continues, I’m afraid that by the time I leave the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, this limited level improvement will not be enough for me to deal with the big unforeseen event that Yao Xianming mentioned…”
Thinking of this, Lu Yu turned his gaze to the five Crimson Spirit Fruits he had just taken out of the interspatial ring.
“I have the Gluttony Talent, so I don’t have to worry about my foundation being unstable at all. Since this is the case, why not take this opportunity to increase some strength in one fell swoop?”
“When my strength goes up, I can also better seize the opportunities in this Primal Chaos Secret Realm!”
As Lu Yu said this, the thoughts in his mind gradually became more firm.
After spending these few days in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, Lu Yu also began to understand a truth.
Although the Primal Chaos Secret Realm was humongous, the opportunities contained in it were limited.
As more and more cultivators at the War General level enter, there would be less and less of these opportunities.
The only way to grab more opportunities was to have more strength than other people!
Without hesitation, Lu Yu picked up one Crimson Spirit Fruit and stuffed it into his mouth straightaway.
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten S-class Crimson Spirit Fruit.
Congratulations on obtaining: Health Vitality +500, Strength +500!]
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten S-class Crimson Spirit Fruit.
Congratulations on obtaining: Health Vitality +500, Agility +500!]
As the five notification rings from the Gluttony Talent rang out, Lu Yu activated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill to refine all the medicinal effects in the five Crimson Spirit Fruits.
Boom…
A muffled sound rang out, and the aura on Lu Yu’s body began to rise gradually. The health vitality in his whole body also expanded.
Immediately afterwards, the bones in Lu Yu’s entire body began emitting popping sounds.
Crack, crack..p
As the sound of bones popping gradually subsided. Lu Yu slowly opened his
eyes.
When he felt that the health vitality and power in his physical strength had multiplied by an unknown factor, Lu Yu could not help but smile slightly.
“The effectiveness of this Crimson Spirit Fruit is truly miraculous. Just these five fruits alone have elevated my strength to the Grade 5 War General level. If I had known, I wouldn’t have exchanged the fruits with those five members from the Lin family.”
As Lu Yu muttered to himself, he began to feel somewhat regretful.
Nonetheless, at the end of the day, Lu Yu had benefited a great deal out of this without exerting much effort.
After all, the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree was originally discovered by the five Lin family members first. If the Nie family did not intervene mid-way, Lu Yu probably wouldn’t even get a single Crimson Spirit Fruit out of the seven available!
Furthermore, although Lu Yu was short of two Crimson Spirit Fruits, he got the interspatial ring and the legacy plaque from the five members of the Lin family.
“For other people, one Crimson Spirit Fruit is sufficient for them to raise one cultivation level. But for me, I need two to level up.”
“Even if I am given two more Crimson Spirit Fruits, it will only allow me to break through to the Grade 6 War General level!”
With that, Lu Yu stood up. That was when he smelled the stench of his own body.
Under the powerful medicinal effect of the Crimson Spirit Fruits, Lu Yu not only achieved a breakthrough in strength, but even his physical body was thoroughly cleansed.
And this stench on his body was precisely the impurities and filth that were expelled after the cleansing of the muscles and bones.
When Lu Yu smelled the stench of his own body and saw the blackened clothes on his body, he felt a little disgusted with himself.
Thus, he ran out of the cave in a hurry, found a small stream near the cave and jumped in.
After ridding himself completely of all the filth on his body in the stream, Lu Yu felt more satisfied. He then took out a set of clean clothes from his interspatial ring to change into.
After changing his clothes, Lu Yu left the stream and returned to the cave. After packing up the rest of the dry food, Lu Yu walked out of the cave again.
“With my current cultivation level of a Grade 5 War General, I wonder if I can fight a powerful expert at the War Demigod level?”
“It’s a pity that there are no powerful experts at the War Demigod level coming into this Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Otherwise, it’s possible for me to try it out!”
Lu Yu shook his head with some regret. Following that, he headed rapidly into the deeper regions of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm..
