Chapter 1229: Chapter 766 Immortal Fruit Ripens_2

Her gaze fell upon the gourd in her hand, and after a gentle shake, she knew that if she continued watering like this, even if she used up all the golden liquid inside the gourd, the Divine Tree sapling would probably only grow to the height of her chest, far from blossoming and bearing fruit.

However, to give up like this would mean a sheer waste of time if she watered it once a day.

The Divine Tree clearly would only grow when watered; there was no change at all at other times. Watering it once a day for fifty days would result in a growth of fifty centimeters, and watering it fifty times a day would also yield a fifty-centimeter increase.

Thus, if she followed Mr. Chu’s instructions, it would truly be a waste of time.

Of course, she did not dare to easily refute Mr. Chu’s commands.

She stood in place, hesitating for a long time before her eyes lit up with a solution.

No sooner said than done, Wu Youyou hurried to her living quarters, and when she returned, she had another bowl in her hand, along with a large bucket of purified water.

Wu Youyou opened the purified water, poured half a bowl, and then carefully took the gourd before gingerly adding a drop of golden liquid to the bowl. As the golden liquid merged with the water, the half bowl shimmered with a golden luster.

She licked her lips tentatively, as if with a guilty conscience, Wu Youyou carefully picked up the bowl and cautiously tasted a sip. However, the taste seemed no different from ordinary water.

After licking her lips and not detecting any anomaly, she took two big gulps and then carefully poured the remaining water over the sapling.

However, Wu Youyou was disappointed this time; she had thought her method would make the sapling grow faster, but alas, after pouring the half bowl of water, the sapling had still only grown by half a centimeter.

“It seems that the dilution method doesn’t work. What exactly is this golden water? It’s certainly not Innate True Qi. I experimented with it when I was a Half-step Grandmaster, and Innate True Qi is not like this at all.

Could it be Spiritual Power? Unfortunately, I’m not a Celestial God. If there were a Celestial God here, we could verify if it’s Spiritual Energy… Ah… Master Tianya, you’ve arrived!”

Before Wu Youyou’s widened eyes appeared Master Tianya, donned in a white robe, his entire being emanating an otherworldly aura as if he had materialized out of thin air.

“You’re looking for me?”

“Master… no, Senior Tianya, I… I was just…”

It was precisely with Tianya’s assistance that Wu Youyou had successfully advanced from a Level A to a Half-step Grandmaster. That’s why Wu Youyou always addressed Tianya as Master.

However, Tianya clearly had no intention of taking disciples. After his repeated refusals, Wu Youyou no longer dared to call him Master to his face.

She licked the corner of her mouth lightly. She hadn’t noticed it just before, but now, Wu Youyou suddenly realized a warm current flowing inside her after having drunk two mouthfuls of water mixed with the golden liquid.

At this moment, Tianya’s gaze was fixed on the bowl in Wu Youyou’s hand, which still had a few drops of liquid left in it.

His eyes slightly narrowed, Tianya gestured with his hand and the bowl flew to him out of thin air. His expression suddenly turned solemn as he softly said:

“Condensed Spiritual Power… Strange, what makes this bowl contain such purified Spiritual Power, allowing it to condense into a liquid form without dispersing? Such a feat, under the heavens, I’m afraid only Mr. Chu is capable of it.”

As Tianya voiced his contemplation, Wu Youyou immediately widened her eyes and whispered:

“So it really is Spiritual Power.”

As her words fell, she immediately picked up the mineral water in front of her and poured it straight into the half-full bowl.

Tianya’s expression changed instantly. He was about to scold Wu Youyou for her folly, for even just a few drops of Spiritual Power in the bowl would drive a Great Grandmaster-level Martial Artist to desperation.

But in the next moment, as Wu Youyou opened the gourd in her arms and the golden radiance spilled out from within, a tremor involuntarily shuddered through the twitching corners of Tianya’s eyes.

As a Half-step Celestial God, Tianya had long achieved a state of desirelessness, ordinary matters simply couldn’t shake his core; yet, when he saw that golden liquid completely condensed from spiritual power, even he couldn’t help but sharply inhale a breath of cool air.

Then, under Tianya’s stunned gaze, Wu Youyou carefully poured a drop of golden liquid from the gourd, and instantly, the clear water in the bowl fused with the golden liquid, resulting in a bowl of miraculous elixir imbued with pure Spiritual Power materializing before them out of thin air.

Although Tianya was also a Half-step Celestial God with Spiritual Power within him, his Spiritual Power wasn’t pure, thus he was utterly incapable of merging it into water.

And such a bowl of water containing Spiritual Power, if known to a higher-ranked Great Grandmaster, they would definitely be willing to pay any price to obtain it.

Because if these higher-ranked Great Grandmasters consumed this bowl of Spiritual Power water, their bodies would bear the mark of Spiritual Power, and the possibility of advancing to the realm of a Celestial God would increase by a whole ten percent.

As Tianya was feeling extremely moved inside, Wu Youyou beside him suddenly spoke up:

“Senior, if you infuse your Spiritual Power into this bowl of water, I can make use of it!”

“Nonsense…” Being ordered around by a junior, Tianya was naturally displeased, yet when his gaze fell upon the gourd in Wu Youyou’s hands emitting golden light, after a moment’s hesitation, driven by curiosity deep within, Tianya stirred his own Spiritual Power and with a light tap of his fingertip, the surging Spiritual Power within him instantly merged into the water in the bowl.

Normally, Tianya’s Spiritual Power couldn’t condense in water, and would disappear without a trace as soon as it was released from his body, but now, because there was already a drop of pure Spiritual Power in the bowl acting as a guide, his Spiritual Power perfectly fused into the water.

A moment later, a faint golden glow emitted from the bowl, a result of the saturation of Spiritual Power.

Next, what made Tianya widen his eyes even more was that Wu Youyou suddenly picked up the priceless bowl of Spiritual Power water and carefully poured it over the sapling beside her. Just as Tianya wanted to burst out scolding the girl for wasting resources, something even more astonishing happened.

The sapling in front of them, under the nourishment of the Spiritual Power water, actually grew at a visible speed.

“It’s grown four centimeters, four times taller than before, this method is effective!”

Seeing the taller sapling, Wu Youyou at this moment was brimming with excitement. She repeated the process, blending half a bowl of water with a drop of Spiritual Power liquid, then looked eagerly at Tianya across from her.

Sensing that something was about to happen, Tianya remained silent. He stretched out his finger again, fully channeling his inner Spiritual Power into the water.

After that came bowl after bowl of Spiritual Power liquid continuously being poured onto the sapling, which had originally been half a meter tall, but after numerous waterings, soon shot up to one meter in height. However, afterward, the Divine Tree no longer grew taller, but its branches and leaves began to flourish incredibly.

By the thirty-fifth time Wu Youyou poured the Spiritual Power liquid into the bowl, Tianya beside her had already turned pale, his entire body even seemed to teeter.

Even with his terrifying strength as a Half-step Celestial God, his Spiritual Power was nearly drained at this moment, and recovering back to his full strength would probably take at least half a month.

Gently waving his hand, just as Tianya was about to shake his head to stop her, Wu Youyou suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed:

“It’s bearing fruit… the Divine Tree is beginning to bear fruit… Senior, the Divine Tree has started to bear fruit, just hold on a little longer, soon we’ll be able to taste the delicious Immortal Fruit.”

Tianya’s gaze shifted to the miraculous fruits in front of him, indeed, among the lush foliage, a few small fruits had begun to emerge.

Although Tianya’s Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted at this point, he still clenched his teeth and even at the cost of expending his Origin Power, he spurred his Spiritual Power into action.

As the Spiritual Power water continued to pour, a total of five fruits on the tree’s crown were also slowly growing in size.

As Wu Youyou poured the last drop of Spiritual Power liquid into the bowl, Tianya, now pallid, desperately channeled the last of his Spiritual Power into the bowl as well.

Then, as Wu Youyou poured the final drop of Spiritual Liquid over the fruits, the next moment, five fist-sized fruits finally matured, an enticing fragrance instantly spread far and wide, with the Emperor Xuan Villas at the center, nearly the entire city could smell this fragrance.

And at that moment, the previously cloudless sky above the city suddenly began to flash with lightning and thunder!
