Chapter 230 Troops Picking Spiritual Fruits

The distant mountains are dark blue, and the nearby colors are smoky

A hazy drizzle enveloped the mountains, and the spiritual fruits in the mountains behind Ye Zhen's home began to ripen.

Early in the morning, the family finished their practice and started working in the mountains.

It was a rare occasion for Ye Zhen to complete a breeding mission, so her superiors specially approved a short vacation for her, just three days.

The company's affairs are handled by professional managers, and Ye Zhen occasionally conducts spot checks.

The fruit trees in the back mountain have mutated too much, and many have turned into low-level spiritual fruits.

Ye Zhen has set restrictions here, and no one can go up without a leader. Naturally, the villagers don't know the situation inside the mountain.

Soon, people from the state arrived to harvest the fruits.

Because Ye Zhen had made arrangements in advance, many fruit trees and plants were planted in not only the back mountain, but also the deep mountains and valley areas that had been occupied before. In addition, the mountains had been transformed by Ye Zhen, so the spiritual energy was abundant and there were many low-level spiritual fruits.

After hearing about the large quantity, the superiors dispatched a special transport train, and all the supplies were prepared to be sent to Kyoto in an expedited and preserved condition, and then distributed to personnel in various regions according to their contributions.

The train was still parked outside waiting. The number of people who could enter Shanbei Village had been told to the village chief, and now a row of large trucks were driven in.

Judging from the people driving the car, they were all martial artists. Ye Zhen guessed that they were troops.

It seems that the country attaches great importance to these fruits, vegetables and medicinal materials, there are so many practitioners.

The leader stood straight with a stern expression. He was already middle-aged but still had a strong aura. There were dozens of people beside him. Ye Zhen only recognized Professor Liu and Professor Sun.

"Ye Zhen, take us up the mountain quickly. I heard there are many plants you cultivated yourself there."

Professor Sun had long coveted the rare plants that covered the mountain at Ye Zhen, but unfortunately the little girl usually stayed in the research institute and was busy with research and development, so he never had the chance.

This time, when he heard that Ye Zhen's fruit trees were ripe, he immediately reported to his superiors and asked to follow. The reason was ready-made: to find research and development inspiration for the second super plant.

Professor Liu and Professor Sun have been good friends for many years and work in the same unit. How could any of his actions escape his eyes?

It came right after.

The two old men smiled and said, "Let's take a look and help with the harvest!"

Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the arms and legs of the two old men, feeling very suspicious.

There were many green plants on the mountain. Ye Zhen took the lead, pinching his fingers and leading them to change directions, circling left several times, turning right three times, and finally circling back and forth around an ordinary tree.

There were some young guys who didn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to speak out in the team. Seeing that the captain looked calm, they tried to suppress their curiosity.

After going around the tree and turning over a few stones, Ye Zhen finally entered a bush of thorns and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"!!!"

This magical scene stunned everyone.

The young people in the team opened their mouths so wide that they could stuff an egg into them.

Father Ye looked calm as he stepped into the thorn bush and disappeared.

Ye Ma and the others followed. Professor Sun and Professor Liu looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and decided to fight it out. The worst that could happen was that they would get a few thorns in their wounds!

The thorn didn't prick me, I just felt enlightened.

With green mountains and clear waters, lush green trees and bright flowers, it is a place of natural beauty and the air is bright. This is truly a fairyland on earth!

The two old men were so shocked by the sacred mountain Yushu that they were speechless.

"Captain, this...?" Someone looked at the thorn bush.

Some people went around to the other side and saw a stream in front of them. There was nothing else except this bush of thorns. Several people just disappeared out of thin air.

This is unbelievable.

The picking team was secretly frightened, but only the middle-aged man remained calm, because when they received the task in advance, they had carefully revealed Ye Zhen's supernatural powers.

And he was warned not to ask too many questions and just to pick the fruits.

When they first received the task of picking the fruits from the harvest, they were puzzled as to why they had to be sent here. Although they were not special combat soldiers, they were still considered capable in the army.

Isn't picking fruit a waste of talent?

Now he understood.

The middle-aged man waved his hand to signal everyone to follow, and he took the lead and stepped into the thorn bush.

The people behind naturally followed without hesitation.

After a while, all the people waiting for Ye Zhen had arrived. Without even bothering to introduce themselves to everyone, he led them one by one to pick the ripe spiritual fruits.

Zhu Jingmei, Dragon Blood Apricot…

Who has ever seen a fruit that emits a halo? Everyone was curious and picked the fruit carefully.

Ye Zhen took out a folding space box carved from jade from the storage talisman.

Putting each variety in a box is normal for the Ye family members who have seen so many of them, but it is not the same for others.

I just felt dizzy and dreamy all day today.

Professor Sun couldn't hold it in any longer, so he walked over to Ye Zhen and asked curiously:

"Ye Zi, what is this? How can it hold so many things? The box doesn't look that big."

It was indeed not big, a light green box the size of a palm, with a crystal clear appearance, obviously a high-grade jadeite, but he watched as everyone stuffed the fruits that had just been picked from several trees into it.

At this point, Ye Zhen did not intend to hide it and revealed the secret directly:

"This is a storage box, specially used to store spiritual fruits. I carved a storage symbol inside it, so the internal space is not small."

She added, "There's probably a thousand cubic meters in there."

Looking at everyone's fiery eyes, Ye Zhen continued to pour cold water on them.

"The storage box can only be used by me, you cannot." Because except for the Ye family members, no one else has practiced cultivation, and the box cannot be opened without spiritual energy in their bodies.

"All right."

Everyone looked away and continued picking.

Having seen such miraculous things, why would some fruits that I have never seen before be so surprising?

Ye Zhen smiled, and when everyone had picked all the spiritual fruits halfway up the mountain, the storage boxes were all full. Ye Zhen threw the boxes into the storage talisman and generously gave each person a few spiritual fruits to eat.

As for these spiritual fruits, some people took a small bite and put it away carefully, while others ate them directly.

Professor Sun just ate it directly, and with his contribution, he would definitely get a share later.

The effect of the spiritual fruit could be felt immediately. The two old men no longer felt sore in their waists and legs. They also broke out in sweat and their skin became rosy.

"Ye Zi, what are we doing..." The two old men curiously felt the changes in themselves.

"It's okay. This is just a minor physical problem. It will be fine after a while."

Ye Zhen chuckled as he spoke: "It's time to take a break, let's continue. There are still some big ones waiting to be picked."

The mutant fruit is not a spiritual fruit. It is huge in size and its effect is slightly inferior to that of the spiritual fruit, but quantitative change leads to qualitative change. It is big.

Except for Ye Zhen, everyone in the group opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the giant tree in front of them.

"Is this durian?" Professor Liu muttered to himself, rubbing his eyes hard.

Who knows? Have you ever seen a durian as tall as a person? Have you ever seen a durian tree 40 to 50 meters high, covered with durian fruits of all sizes?

A strong smell wafts into your nose. Those who like it can't wait to run over, but those who hate it have already felt dizzy and their heads swollen from the smell.

"Yes, this is the mutant durian, and there are several more!"

Ye Zhen also looked up. These fruit trees were huge and it was difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

With a leap, Ye Zhen jumped onto the tree and shouted:

"You guys just pick the durians from the lower branches, and I'll pick the upper ones."

Everyone was numb to seeing Ye Zhen fly up directly, but they didn't expect that Grandpa Ye would also fly up.

"Hey, I'll help too."

"You old man have old arms and legs, aren't you afraid of breaking your legs?"

Grandma Ye complained below, pulled her clothes tightly, and flew up in the blink of an eye.

The people below stared blankly, and after a moment of silence, they looked at Ye's father and mother.

Dad Ye felt embarrassed, but Mom Ye held her head high, leaped up the tree and followed him.

This durian tree has a huge crown, and one tree occupies most of the hillside.

Ye Zhen had set up a formation before. The mutant trees were huge in shape, and each had its own formation. They did not disturb each other and competed to grow.

The people who stayed below, in groups of two or three, took the knives that Ye Zhen had prepared in advance, and chopped the fruit stalks, which were as thick as an adult's calf.

The Ye family members on the tree moved quickly. Each of them had a storage box and could cut a durian with one knife.

Now, everyone in the Ye family, except younger brother Ye, has entered the Qi Refining stage, and Grandma Ye is the most powerful, having reached the third level of Qi Refining.

This made her very proud, and she showed off in front of Grandpa Ye every day.

In this way, after picking the fruits from one durian tree, I moved on to the next one. In the process, I picked giant jackfruits, peaches as big as washbasins, red bayberries as big as baseballs, and bunches of bright red lychees...

There are various varieties, regardless of season or environment.

"This is impossible in nature, because I have set up different formations inside to adjust the environment, so fruits of different seasons can mature during this period of time."

Ye Zhen explained to the curious Professor Liu and Professor Sun.

But she was kind-hearted, "I will ask my superiors to build a formation like this in our research area, so that it will be convenient for research."

"Okay, that's good! Let's go together later."

Professor Sun quickly interjected and said that such good things must be available at the Agricultural Science Institute!

Professor Liu nodded heavily in agreement.

We were busy until the afternoon. With the help of the Ye family, we picked the tomatoes quickly. After picking all the giant tomatoes in the valley, we looked at the flowers all over the valley.

Professor Liu was too embarrassed to express his desire to break off some branches to take back for cuttings.

"Break it, dig up the one you like, it's a waste to leave it in the valley anyway."

Who else but wild bees and butterflies can see this beauty?

Ye Zhen didn't care. She hadn't been to this valley for a long time. Ever since she buried the spiritual marrow, the valley has been full of spiritual energy, and the flower seeds, fruits and vegetables that she had sown before have grown in batches.

There are so many variations in it that it is impossible to tell what species it is based on the color and shape of the flowers.

As soon as Ye Zhen finished speaking, the middle-aged man in the army blushed and said that he also wanted to take a few trees back.

Not to mention Professor Sun, as soon as Ye Zhen finished speaking, he picked up a hoe and dug up the small flower seedlings he had long been eyeing.

"Dig it, dig it, just take what you can take away."

She is quite generous.

After waiting for everyone for a while, Ye Zhen ate a tomato while Professor Liu happily held a few flower seedlings and exclaimed:

“It was worth the trip!”

He treasured the flower in his arms very much. It had a delicate fragrance and was emerald green in color. It looked like an orchid and he loved it.

"Get ready, we'll go down the mountain later."

The middle-aged man also held a few flower seedlings. He glanced at the sky, looked at the valley where all the flowers had been picked, and prepared to lead the team down the mountain.

Ye Zhen smiled mysteriously, "There's still a mountain of things that haven't been picked yet."

Everyone was shocked. "What! There's more?"
