Chapter 1228: Chapter 766 Immortal Fruit Ripens

Wu Youyou held a strange gourd in her hand; however, when she returned to the training ground, she couldn’t calm her mind at all.

At this moment, Wu Youyou’s mind was filled with thoughts of the immortal tree and Immortal Fruit, especially when she remembered the seed of the immortal tree that she had seen in Chu Mo’s hand; she even drooled with craving. The fragrance of the Immortal Fruit was simply too tempting; while she was training from a distance, she smelled that mysterious scent, so she scampered over immediately.

However, the immortal tree was now only half a meter tall. Even if the tree was very magical, it would probably take some time before it could bloom and bear fruit, and it was cold winter now; she wondered if the sapling would freeze to death.

With that thought, Wu Youyou could no longer contain her impatience and immediately turned around to run towards the back row of villas. She hadn’t even left the training ground when her body was fixed in place by a mysterious force. Shortly after, without waiting for Wu Youyou to react, a breathtakingly beautiful woman already stood in front of her.

“Yuanyuan, you are not practicing martial arts diligently and are always distracted. When will you complete the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique? I have told you before, the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique is very special, requiring nine cycles of cultivation foundation dissolving to succeed. My previous cultivation to the pinnacle of Class A took a full fifty years after nine cycles, and you started dissolving your foundation when you were half a step from Grandmaster’s pinnacle. Although your future achievements will definitely surpass mine, have you thought about how long it will take to undergo nine cycles of cultivation at half-step Grandmaster?”

“Most martial artists get stuck at half-step Grandmaster, their lives halted at Class A. You, although talented, only have a one in three chance of successfully advancing to half-step Grandmaster. Even without counting this time, you need eight more chances to reach half-step Grandmaster, the probability of succeeding until the end is only one in twenty-four. In such a situation, wasting time is simply wasting life…!”

Qin Lan, as Wu Youyou’s master, treated this young girl with extraordinary affection. Similarly, because of the special nature of the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique, Qin Lan paid even more attention to her disciple than an ordinary master would.

She herself was a cultivator of the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique and naturally knew the difficulties of this Cultivation Technique. Wu Youyou chose a path that was several times more difficult than her master’s, so Qin Lan dared not slack off in the slightest.

Wu Youyou’s face immediately showed disappointment.

She knew Qin Lan meant well. Otherwise, with Qin Lan’s status and position, why would she care about a little girl like herself?

It’s just that she had heard such words countless times, to the point that her ears could nearly grow calluses.

Of course, the current Wu Youyou was no longer the mischievous, rebellious, and stubborn little girl she used to be. She could discern right from wrong and knew who really cared for her.

So even though Qin Lan was stern, Wu Youyou did not dare to retort and obediently returned to the training ground to practice to her limits.

A moment later, Qin Lan’s figure slowly vanished.

Wu Youyou knew that her master had recently taken a Heavenly Spirit Pill, and her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, now reaching the mid-level pinnacle of Great Grandmaster. Although there was still a gap to become an upper-level Great Grandmaster, Qin Lan kept practicing hard to absorb more of the Heavenly Spirit Pill’s Spiritual Power.

If it weren’t for her consideration for Wu Youyou, Qin Lan would be at a critical juncture of life and death, not emerging unless she broke through.

Half an hour later, with sweat dripping from her forehead, Wu Youyou once again stopped her movement. Although she was practicing here, she kept thinking about the immortal tree at the bottom of her heart.

After another half hour of practice, with the thought of whether the immortal tree had grown taller again in her mind, Wu Youyou could no longer bear it. She muttered softly, “Mr. Chu asked me to take care of the immortal tree; I am not slacking off, just fulfilling Mr. Chu’s order.”

Finding a rightful excuse for herself, Wu Youyou then sneaked away, scurrying to the back row of the villa.

When she arrived next to the immortal tree sapling and compared the height with her hand, to her disappointment, it seemed the tree had not grown taller than when she left it an hour ago.

She knew she was being impatient, but she couldn’t bear to just leave. Hesitating for a moment, Wu Youyou finally gritted her teeth and took out the gourd hanging on her. As she carefully opened the gourd, a faint golden glow emitted from the bottle’s mouth.

Pointing the mouth of the bottle at the immortal tree, she carefully dripped a drop of golden liquid onto the tree leaves. In the next moment, something miraculous happened. As the golden liquid touched the small sapling’s branches and leaves, the entire sapling visibly grew one centimeter taller and sprouted a few more leaves and branches.

Excitement flashed in Wu Youyou’s eyes as she dripped a second drop of golden liquid, and the sapling grew taller once more. However, when Wu Youyou was about to drop the third drop, she suddenly stopped her action.

Mr. Chu had once instructed her that only one drop of the golden liquid could be dripped each day; would anything go wrong now that she had dripped three drops at once?

Immediately sinking into nervousness, Wu Youyou carefully observed the sapling, noting that besides the branches and leaves growing more robustly and the sapling getting a few centimeters taller, there were no other changes.

Once assured there were no issues with the sapling, Wu Youyou’s heart gradually calmed down.

However, she was after all an eighteen-year-old girl, curious by nature, and once assured of safety, she became restless again.
