Chapter 51 Smiling Face Fruit
"The number of Tai'an fruits that need to be handed in every year is thirty. The extra ones can be kept for yourself, as a benefit of guarding the post. Google search to read"
"On average, you can save two Tai'an fruits every year. In Tianxuan Mirror, the price of Tai'an fruits is generally around 90 to 100 contribution points."
"So if you add it all up, the reward for being the acting guard is not low." He Zhenghao introduced Li Fan with a smile.
Li Fan nodded. Although He Zhenghao used some tricks, his words were true.
Among the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, those who can earn 1,000 contribution points every year during the Qi Refining Period are definitely rare.
In this matter, He Zhenghao ate meat and took Li Fan to drink some soup.
"I would also like to thank you, senior." Li Fan cupped his hands.
"It's easy to say, easy to say. You are from the island I guard, and I have the right intention to support you. As long as you improve your cultivation in the future, you will be worthy of me..." He Zhenghao was talking, but suddenly paused.
He let out a soft sigh and looked at Li Fan with a slightly surprised tone: "Have you broken through to the middle stage of Qi refining?"
Li Fan was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party could see that he had used the Hidden Qi Talisman.
He nodded immediately and admitted generously: "Yes. I have a close relationship with Xiao Heng. He left a water attribute technique for me before he went out. This technique is very compatible with me, and I have made rapid progress in practice. In the past few days, Just broke through.”
"Haha, little friend, I act very cautiously. If it weren't for my special skill, I would have almost not noticed it. Did I use the Hidden Qi Talisman?"
Li Fan nodded.
"It's understandable. After all, you can never make a big mistake by being careful. In this world of immortality, there are really a lot of people with ulterior motives..." He Zhenghao was talking when he suddenly noticed that Li Fan looked at him a little strangely, and he quickly said, "Haha." Opened the topic: "I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with that Xiao Heng, and he even left a special technique for you."
"Xiao Heng is truly a genius. He has only been practicing for a few years, and he is almost ready to build a foundation. His future is limitless!" Apparently He Zhenghao has been paying attention to Xiao Heng, and he was filled with emotion and envy when he talked about it. .
"It is not impossible to achieve a golden elixir or even a Nascent Soul in the future. My little friend, you have an irreversible relationship with him, and you are truly blessed."
He Zhenghao said, his tone becoming more and more enthusiastic.
"It's a blessing to meet a senior." Li Fan boasted casually.
When He Zhenghao heard this, he laughed and was very happy.
At this moment, he stopped and turned to look in a certain direction in the city: "By coincidence, a Tai'an fruit is ripe now. I will show you how to pick this Tai'an fruit."
Li Fan nodded and followed He Zhenghao to a house.
Before entering the yard, I heard bursts of crying and howling.
After walking in, Li Fan discovered that there were more than a dozen human-faced fruits kneeling in the house, wearing linen, mourning, and white clothes.
In a coffin in the center, there lies a fruit with a human face that seems to be sleeping soundly.
The fruit closed its eyes, tilted its mouth, and showed a strange smile, while its body remained motionless.
None of the people in the house noticed the arrival of Li Fan and the other two, they were just mourning the death of their relatives.
This scene in the field looks a bit funny and terrifying.
As he got closer, Li Fan smelled a strange fragrance wafting out of the coffin.
He Zhenghao came to the coffin, muttered something, and pointed his eyebrows at the smiling face inside.
A burst of soft light shrouded the smiling face fruit slowly rising from the coffin and floating in mid-air.
Then it slowly shrank and turned into a small bright red fruit.
As the Tai'an fruit took shape, all the human-faced fruits in mourning clothes suddenly became quiet.
The white mourning clothes on their bodies slowly disappeared, and the expressions on their faces gradually changed from grief to confusion.
After looking around blankly for a moment, the fruits finally dispersed in silence.
"How?" He Zhenghao handed the Tai'an fruit to Li Fan.
"It's very strange." Seeing this scene of picking Tai'an fruits, Li Fan felt a little confused for some reason, so he just reluctantly replied.
Li Fan took the Tai'an fruit in his hand and observed it carefully.
The fruit looked similar to the apple in my memory, but the color was even red and a bit harsh.
And a steady stream of aroma wafts out from the Tai'an fruit.
This aroma seemed to penetrate into the depths of people's souls. Li Fan swallowed involuntarily when he smelled it.
"My little friend hasn't eaten this Tai'an fruit yet, why not try it first." He Zhenghao suggested.
"Things that increase longevity have a natural attraction for monks like us. The longer it lasts, the greater the temptation." He Zhenghao added with a smile as he looked at Li Fan's hesitation.
Sure enough, the effect of the fragrance seemed to accumulate. As Li Fan hesitated, its fragrance became stronger and stronger.
Aroused by the aroma, a sense of hunger welled up from deep within.
So, after a moment, Li Fan no longer hesitated and swallowed the Tai'an fruit whole.
The feeling of hunger disappeared immediately. Even though it was just a small piece, Li Fan still burped after eating it, as if he had eaten a big meal.
Li Fan checked his [Huazhen] panel, and sure enough, the upper limit of biological age had increased by 5 years.
Smacking his lips, Li Fan reminisced about the taste of Tai'an fruit: "This is the first time I have encountered this strange thing that can increase longevity. It is really extraordinary. It just looks a little weird. It looks like a human. Terrified."
He Zhenghao responded with a smile: "This Tai'an fruit was transformed by humans, of course it looks like it."
Li Fan's expression suddenly froze.
Suppressing the turmoil in his stomach, Li Fan asked with some horror: "Are all Tai'an Guo in this city real people?"
He Zhenghao was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Fan's reaction.
However, after all, Li Fan had just entered the world of immortality not long ago, so he could understand it, so he continued to explain: "Strictly speaking, Tai'an fruit is a fruit, not a human being."
Li Fan was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he still had concerns: "Then what does it mean to be transformed from a human being?"
"This is about the origin of the Tai'an fruit." He Zhenghao said while taking Li Fan back to fly above the city.
"Five hundred years ago, Tai'an Island was just a very ordinary island. There were no valuable specialties in the waters around the island, and there were only a few thousand mortals living here for generations."
"I don't know how many small islands there are in the sea of clouds."
"But one day, everything suddenly became different."
"First, the mortals on the surrounding islands discovered that they had not seen the residents of Tai'an Island for a long time. Businessmen on the island occasionally interacted with each other before, but they have not been seen for more than a year."
"Driven by curiosity, some people sailed to Tai'an Island to find out."
"Who would have thought that after several waves of people went there, they never came back."
"Realizing that something was wrong, people quickly reported the incident to the island guard at the time."
"The guard at that time was already a golden elixir stage monk. Even so, he fell into deep fear after seeing what happened on Tai'an Island."
