Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 122 Harvest! The Spiritual Thorn!

Zhu Ge remained in a state of apparent enlightenment.

As a result, he learned the unique skills, instincts, and traits of other animals.

The Cloud Realm is vast, far more expansive than Zhu Ge had ever known it during his mortal years.

This means that there are more lives among them than one can imagine.

Monsters, wandering ghosts, wild gods and spirits, all became Zhu Ge's teachers.

Of course, teaching Zhuge comes at the cost of one's life.

The result is that Zhu Ge is indeed integrating all the martial arts techniques he has learned.

What he didn't know was that his ability to achieve this was rare even in the entire Yunjiang region, and even in the entire Dasheng.

This is thanks to the fact that he lived in an era of information explosion in his previous life, which enabled him to have this kind of understanding.

Most people in the Great Sheng Dynasty, like the Swallow Venerable who created the Xu Family Swallow Fist, would draw inspiration from one or two things and then concentrate their martial arts heart.

We don't care whether it's strong or not, or whether it's suitable or not.

For most people, breaking through to the second realm is already quite an achievement.

Just like the scholar Yu before him.

Yu Xiucai lived in the isolated Jianshan Village, and his overall understanding of the world was limited to Honghe Prefecture, or even Yuanyang City.

For him, it was already quite an achievement to break through to the second realm and become a "scholar" of Confucianism and Taoism.

It should be noted that the gentleman was only a "scholar" at the time, yet he was able to bless Jianshan Village for decades.

Now, Zhu Ge's knowledge determines that he will inevitably be stronger than most people.

But it also means that his path to the second realm will be more arduous and difficult.

However, he was not afraid.

They experienced the fungus god and the fisherman in the straw raincoat.

Having experienced the unwavering arrogance of the Kunpeng, the deep scheming of the Spider, and even the "existence" of the Earth Cicada.

All of this made him no longer afraid to move forward, even if the road ahead was full of thorns.

"Bang!!!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Ge knocked down the second-realm tiger in front of him.

Then, with practiced ease, he removed tendons, skin, bones, and soul.

Then he looked at the thicket of thorns in front of him.

Behind the thicket of thorns was a fruit with a dark green halo, hanging from a thin tree branch that looked like a taut fishing line, struggling to stay afloat.

This is a low-grade Spirit-level fruit, guarded by this second-realm tiger.

However, these thorns look poisonous; only a fool would touch them.

Zhu Ge prepared to bypass the thorns and then picked the fruit with the dark green halo in front of her.

Regardless of whether the fruit is at the Spirit level or not, Zhu Ge should obtain it.

According to the old man's tradition, this fruit, when crushed and stewed with some poisonous insects, can increase physical strength.

Moreover, this fruit is cultivable and is one of the most common fruits in Yunnan, known as sour papaya.

Originally, sour papaya was just an ordinary ingredient. When stewed with poisonous insects and chicken, it was made into a dish similar to medicinal cuisine, which was good for the body.

And now, the singer's blessing is a spiritually superior sour papaya.

If you combine it with those spirit-level poisonous insects and monster chickens, the effect will be excellent.

"puff."

Once the fruit was picked, the taut, thin tree trunk quickly withered and turned to ashes within seconds.

Zhu Ge didn't mind and prepared to go back to prepare sour papaya stewed chicken.

"My lord, these thorns are also low-grade spiritual plants." At this moment, Hua Liusha's rolling red mist emerged from the tiger's body and then returned to Zhu Ge's mind.

Basically, the souls of the demonic beasts are all given to Hua Liusha to devour.

"Low-level spiritual level?"

Upon hearing Hua Liusha's words, Zhu Ge's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned her gaze to him.

He was too far away to notice the scent of the thorns.

Hearing Hua Liusha's words, he immediately moved closer.

This clump of thorns was only about the size of a sofa, and each of its sharp thorns had a faint purple tinge, clearly indicating that it was poisonous.

Logically speaking, Zhu Ge's body, forged by the "Great Sun Glass Body," should not be damaged even if one walks through it.

But he had no intention of going inside.

Who knew that these thorns possessed a certain ability to conceal their aura, so that even though Zhu Ge was right in front of them, he couldn't tell that these thorns were actually spiritual objects.

What else is there to say?

Zhu Ge immediately took action and pulled out all the thorns.

His body would indeed not be broken.

However, this is only because he is special; other monsters would probably still die if they encountered him.

This can be seen from the faint traces of bones in the soil beneath the thorns.

Zhu Ge planned to take all these thorns back and plant them around the valley.

If any uninvited guests happen to intrude, they can then enjoy the pain of these thorns.

"Huh? There's only one thorn bush?"

Zhu Ge pulled at the back and discovered that all the thorns were connected together.

Although it appears to have many roots, the thorns growing from these roots have merged into one, and the branches are connected, just like a banyan tree.

However, this did not affect anything. Zhu Ge uprooted them all and then stroked his chin, examining the land in front of him.

"Little sister, do you think—could this be spirit soil?"

Zhu Ge looked at the soil in front of her, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

Not only did an ordinary sour papaya transform into a spirit-level sour papaya, but even a clump of thorns nearby turned into a spirit plant.

There must be something special about this!

It should be noted that normal spiritual plants require a large amount of spiritual energy.

This results in a situation where there are very few competitors around the spirit.

For example, the three mulberry trees in the valley could not grow very large in the small space they were in.

"Spiritual Land?"

Hua Liusha was also somewhat curious: "Brother, do you mean that this soil is very likely to be spiritual soil?"

"Even if it's not spirit land, it will have other special features." Zhu Ge narrowed his eyes.

It's highly likely to be spirit soil, less likely to be something else, and extremely unlikely to be because of the excrement or fertilizer from that second-realm tiger.

However, tigers in the second realm are everywhere. The one they just killed wasn't anything special; its innate ability was the tiger's roar.

Therefore, the most likely explanation is that this land has something special about it!

Since it was possible, and there wasn't much danger at the moment, Zhu Ge naturally decided to dig on the spot.

Do it if you want to!

Zhu Ge and Hua Liusha started together.

Zhu Ge was quick at digging; he casually picked up a thigh bone from a second-realm demon beast and started digging.

Hua Liusha then directly transforms into red mist and enters the interior of the land.

A moment later, red mist rose from the soil.

"How is it?" Zhu Ge asked.

"Brother, I can't sense anything unusual," Hua Liusha replied.

Can't you sense it?

Zhu Ge nodded and continued digging.

He planned to dig three feet into the ground, collect all the soil in a straw bowl, and take it back. He would then make a control group and conduct experiments to see if the soil was useful.

Better to arrest the wrong person than let one go!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Zhu Ge dug shovel by shovel, and with his strength and stamina, he dug several cubic meters in no time.

However, at that moment, Zhu Ge suddenly sensed something was amiss.

"Could this feeling be—"
