Chapter 1298: Chapter 726: In Turmoil Amidst the Wind (Part 2)

If your body’s meridians are like high-speed highways or even high-temperature superconducting maglevs, then your cultivation will be as efficient as Li Tongyun’s, yielding twice the results with half the effort.

The role of this Felicity fruit is probably to “pave the road.”

At this moment, the three Felicity fruit plants stood like three strawberry plants in the ground, looking especially cute, with the fruits ripened like cherries.

“Quick, quick, dig these three out with the roots,” Qing Chen instructed Zard. “Our luck is truly unmatched. Thanks to Da Yu, if he hadn’t chased us for more than two hundred miles, we wouldn’t have encountered such a thing.”

Taboo Land 008 is so vast that finding something like this is really rare.

It’s like being a ginseng seeker in the mountains; there may be plenty of ginseng, but whether you find it is another story.

Everything in Taboo Land is unowned, so finding something means you’ve profited.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and arranged, “These three Felicity fruit plants need to be watered with dew; at dawn every day, someone has to be there to irrigate them with a drop. These three fruits… let’s give Da Yu some to eat first, to see how many he needs to reach the limit.”

Da Yu paused for a moment, “Give them to me to eat? Are you really that kind-hearted? Is this stuff poisonous or something?”

“You can check issue 394 of Hu’s Information Agency, there is a detailed record of the Felicity fruit there,” Qing Chen said. “We… are friends now, aren’t we? It’s not just Felicity fruit; we’ll also give you Zhi Lanxing to aid your cultivation.”

Da Yu felt a bit awkward, “Ghosts are your friends.”

Actually, Qing Chen made this decision after careful consideration. First, Da Yu is deeply bound with Zard and Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu really likes the wilderness settlement, and if there’s an expert like Da Yu to help out, the people there might be a bit safer.

Secondly, Da Yu obviously belongs to a different faction than Chen Yu. If Da Yu can someday ascend to become a demigod, then his faction would have a foundation to contend with Chen Yu.

Qing Chen suspected that Da Yu’s identity might be very high, possibly even the son of the Chen Family Head. Otherwise, how could he have three Taboo items as trump cards, and each so effective!

Therefore, he’s not only giving Felicity fruit but also Zhi Lanxing!

Just now, although Da Yu chased them for more than two hundred miles, he never crushed the scroll in his hand, which indicates that Da Yu also acknowledged their status as teammates. He wouldn’t fight recklessly now.

Unless Zhong Yu shows up.

Qing Chen continued, “With things like the Felicity fruit, every time they mature, two-thirds should be used for propagation, and one-third for consumption, maximizing returns. It won’t take long for its output to be substantial. Then, it’s best to fully supply one person. One cultivation genius is stronger than a hundred cultivation waste products. With the aid of Zhi Lanxing, growth is exponential. After Da Yu finishes eating, the next one should be Nan Gengchen, followed by Liu Dezhu, Xiao San, Xiao Qi, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Nangong Yuanyu…”

Qing Chen planned, and Chen Jiazhang, who was listening nearby, heard him list out a long string of names, while Zard was carefully noting them down. Chen Jiazhang was puzzled, “Are we this large now?”

Da Yu sneered at the side, “Now, when describing Knights, you have to use ‘nest’ as a measure. Nest after nest, faster than a sow giving birth to piglets.”

“Uh, this,” Chen Jiazhang was stunned, “Has the era changed? How many Knights are there now?”

Qing Chen humbly said, “I have over a hundred disciples. By the way, Senior Uncle, how many disciples do you have?”

Chen Jiazhang: “…”

“Let’s go; we’re too far from Chen’s Army, unable to really control their movements,” Qing Chen said as he led the way back.

…

…

Eight hours later.

A group of over a hundred Fire Pit people slowly emerged from the forest, each carrying a herb-gathering bamboo basket, looking just like ginseng seekers from the mountains.

The Grand Elder said with great excitement, “When I found the Felicity fruit back then, I was about your age. At that time, the Grand Elder of the Fire Pit was ‘Jiang Chuluo’, it made him extremely happy. He said I was favored by the heavens and began nurturing me to be a Grand Elder. At 21, I became our Fire Pit’s Second Elder, quite the glory.”

Qin Yiyi asked, “Is the Felicity fruit useful for us Fire Pit people too?”

“Of course it’s useful,” the Grand Elder laughed cheerfully, “We, native Fire Pit folks, select three most gifted children every three years, as designated by the God, and then feed them the Felicity fruit. This way, when they complete the horn-cutting ceremony and receive the God’s blessing, they can gain more power. Yiyi, after gathering the Felicity fruit, why don’t you lead us for a little walk in the Taboo Land, see what kind of luck you have. Walk for three days and nights, and whatever you encounter, we’ll gather.”

There’s a specific practice for the Fire Pit’s herb gathering in the Taboo Land. The first three kinds have targeted goals for gathering, like the Felicity fruit, they come straight for it and then move on to the unknown.

After gathering the first three kinds, they must choose a God’s Child or Goddess to gamble on luck. Whatever they encounter, they’ll gather it; if not, they leave it.

Even if you know where rare herbs are, you can’t go back there.

This has been the tradition of the Fire Pit for years, signifying respect for nature, curbing human greed, not over-exploiting resources, and giving nature a chance to rejuvenate.

This method might seem pretentious, but the Fire Pit has upheld this habit for many years without ever breaking it.
