Chapter 95 The Yang Yuan Fruit Ripens

So that's how it is—this is the source of nutrition. It seems I overlooked it. The effects of this stuff are probably not just for me; it will likely have an effect on most other people as well.

However, it's best not to reveal this for now.

Otherwise, Li Yuan worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it.

By the way, when the Extreme Yang Grass bore fruit before, it triggered a temporary passage between Earth and the Savage Realm. Could it be because of this Yin-Yang power?

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he tried to take out the Extreme Yang Grass.

The moment it was taken out, the Yangyuan Fruit immediately stopped growing, and the red halo on its surface slowly dissipated, but the Yangyuan Fruit itself continued to glow.

At that very moment, the surrounding space distorted slightly, as if it were about to form an independent space.

However, perhaps because this is not a node connecting to the Wilderness Realm, no temporary world passage appeared.

Li Yuan was somewhat disappointed, as he had hoped to create a temporary passage and then take the opportunity to hunt some creatures in the Wilderness Realm.

However, although the temporary world passage did not appear, a special field slowly emerged inside the prefab house as space distorted.

Within this space, the sense of time seems somewhat blurred, which is very strange.

But apart from that, nothing else has changed.

We can study this later; let's wait until the Yangyuan Fruit matures first.

To prevent any problems with the Yangyuan Fruit, Li Yuan quickly sent the Jiyang Grass back to the Dissolving Factory space.

After returning to the Dissolving Factory space, the Extreme Yang Grass immediately began to absorb Yin energy and primordial nutrients again, and the Yang Yuan Fruit also began to grow again.

They should be ripe before dawn.

He was certain in his heart.

Time passed by, second by second.

Inside the prefabricated house, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his consciousness sinking into the dissolving factory, closely monitoring the changes in the Extreme Yang Grass.

As the Yin energy and residual primordial nutrients from the three-ton mutated creature's corpse were continuously absorbed by the Extreme Yang Grass, the cyan Yang Yuan Fruit was growing and changing color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From the size of a grape, it slowly grows to the size of a jujube.

The color also gradually changed from cyan to reddish, then to deep red and purplish-red.

In the end, it turned golden yellow, a color similar to the one Li Yuan obtained in Linjiang City.

He could clearly feel that the energy contained in that fruit was accumulating and condensing at an astonishing rate.

At 5:30 a.m., the Yangyuan fruit was fully ripe.

It was a golden fruit, about the size of an egg, with a faint golden sheen on its surface, emitting a strange fragrance.

Hearing it is invigorating.

Li Yuan carefully picked the Yang Yuan Fruit off the Extreme Yang Grass, and then took out the sealed box that had previously contained the incomplete Heart of Life from the Dissolving Factory.

This box is made of a special material that can isolate energy fluctuations and preserve valuable items.

He put the Yangyuan fruit into the box, closed the lid tightly, and then put it back into the space of the dissolving factory.

"It's finally ripe."

Li Yuan looked at the box in his hand and felt a surge of emotion.

This period of time feels like a dream.

It took him less than a month to go from an ordinary person to someone with the strength of a level nine astral omen.

All of this stems from that mysterious "equipment panel".

Next, we will ensure that the cleaning work in Donghe City is completed smoothly.

He might take this opportunity to win over Lu Jiayin.

In any case, for me now, Yang Yuan Fruit is no longer a scarce item.

As long as there are enough mutated creature corpses, one might be able to continuously produce this treasure.

However, according to Lu Jiayin's previous statement, each person can only eat one of these treasures; eating more than one is useless.

Because apart from the first one, any extra Yang Yuan Fruit can only be used to replenish Yang energy.

But what exactly is yang energy? Li Yuan is still not entirely clear about it.

He glanced out the window; it was already getting light.

After a quick wash, he left the prefab house and headed straight for Lu Jiayin's command tent.

Inside the command tent, Lu Jiayin was sitting behind a makeshift desk, looking at the documents in her hands.

She was wearing a dark blue uniform, and her face showed signs of fatigue.

Clearly, she didn't get a good rest last night either.

As the deputy team leader, I must be very busy.

"Good morning, Deputy Team Leader Lu."

Li Yuan lifted the tent flap and went inside.

"Li Yuan? What brings you here so early?"

Lu Jiayin looked up, somewhat surprised to see Li Yuan suddenly arrive.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Li Yuan walked up to her and said bluntly, "Today should be the last day of the cleaning work, right?"

"That's right."

Lu Jiayin nodded: "According to the plan, the main roads of Donghe City should be completely cleared by this afternoon. What's wrong?"

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Li Yuan took the sealed box out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.

A strange fragrance instantly filled the air.

Lu Jiayin's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the golden fruit in the box: "This is—a Yang Yuan Fruit?!"

Although she had never eaten Yangyuan fruit, she had seen pictures and videos of it.

Therefore, she recognized it at first glance; it was definitely a Yang Yuan Fruit.

"That's right."

Li Yuan nodded: "These are Yang Yuan Fruits cultivated by the organization behind me."

Seeing Lu Jiayin's shocked expression, he smiled slightly and continued, "As long as you can ensure that the cleaning work in Donghe City is completed perfectly today, this Yangyuan Fruit is yours."

"You—you mean it?"

Lu Jiayin's voice trembled slightly.

Yangyuan Fruit!

This is a legendary spiritual fruit!

A divine item that instantly enhances one's strength upon consumption.

Given her current condition, she only needs one pill to reach the early stage of the Innate Realm.

If a peak-level expert were to obtain such a treasure, one pill might be enough to break through a bottleneck and directly enter the Inner Core Realm.

This is the wonder of divine objects; they can enhance strength in a short time, almost ignoring bottlenecks.

She had dreamed about this before, but she also knew that obtaining it was extremely difficult.

The reason she dared to make a deal with Li Yuan before was mainly because she knew that Li Yuan had an Extreme Yang Grass, which had the potential to cultivate into Yang Yuan Fruit.

But now that the real Yang Yuan Fruit is in front of her, she feels a sense of unreality.

"Of course, I never lie, nor do I have the time or inclination to."

Li Yuan looked at her and said, word by word, "However, I have a condition."

"you say!"

Lu Jiayin quickly asked.

"I need you to make sure that there are absolutely no mistakes in today's cleaning."

Li Yuan said earnestly, "I know the authorities promised to finish the cleanup by today, but I need..."

It's a "perfect finish," leaving no blind spots.

He paused, then added, "The special, eerie item belonging to the organization behind me can exert a certain effect after the city is thoroughly cleaned, helping us deal with the eerie streetlights. But if the cleanup isn't complete, the item won't work."

Tomorrow is the day he has to deal with the eerie streetlights, and he needs to make sure he's up to par.

He would be more confident if he could do this with the strength of the Devourer level.

Of course, he didn't intend to confront the streetlights head-on; rather, he reasoned that with increased strength, his nerve reactions and perception would also be enhanced.

At that time, you will be able to more easily discover the strange rules or loopholes in the streetlights.

It's pointless to fight the supernatural with brute force; the only way to combat such things is to use rules to defeat rules.

His real reliance is the equipment panel.

"Does it have to be a truly perfect ending?"

Lu Jiayin suddenly understood, and then nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll personally oversee it! I absolutely won't let any link go wrong!"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Li Yuan closed the box and put it back in his pocket: "Once you complete the mission, this Yang Yuan Fruit will be yours."

"good!"

Lu Jiayin stood up, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "I'll go arrange it right away!"

With that, she strode out of the tent, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began issuing instructions.

She had never felt so close to the Yangyuan Fruit before.

Based on her multiple collaborations with Li Yuan, she believed that Li Yuan would not lie to her.

Therefore, she was full of energy and drive.

Li Yuan watched Lu Jiayin's energetic back as a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

With Lu Jiayin, the deputy team leader, personally overseeing the work, there shouldn't be any more problems with the cleaning.

Soon it was time for the superpowered individuals and sanitation workers to enter the city to clean.

As Lu Jiayin had predicted, she personally oversaw the operation, keeping a close eye on every step of the cleaning process.
