Qin Xiao communicated with Jianmu's consciousness with a somewhat strange expression. Although it was a bit halting, Qin Xiao managed to understand what the other party meant.

"So, you're sure you can digest it, right?"

"Yes, yes, my master."

"Alright then, it's up to you."

After Qin Xiao finished speaking, he and Ilya and the others stepped back a bit.

The roots of the Jianmu tree quickly began to move spontaneously, tightening their grip.

A hazy green light seeped from the roots, and the entire clump of wood shrank at a visible rate.

"Master, what's going on?"

Bai Ling asked curiously, but because of Jianmu's consciousness issues, it was difficult for Ilya and the others to understand what he was saying.

"Jianmu said this stuff tastes good and can be absorbed."

After waiting for about five minutes, Slovic and Ye Qingya also came over.

Seeing Slovic's weakened state, Qin Xiao gestured for Ling'er to treat him.

As a ray of spiritual light entered her body, her enhanced healing abilities proved highly effective, and Slovic was instantly restored to her normal condition.

Looking at Qin Xiao's indifferent expression, Slovic's slightly dark face looked a little awkward, but he still forced a smile.

"Thank you for your treatment."

Qin Xiao ignored her, focusing instead on Jianmu absorbing the wooden bear. Slovic looked somewhat embarrassed, but remained silent to avoid making a scene.

After explaining the current situation to Ye Qingya, about half an hour later, Ilya and the others had also cleaned up the scattered spirit crystals.

The absorption of the Jianmu tree was finally coming to an end. As the roots contracted back, Qin Xiao quickly looked towards the Demon Realm space.

The enormous Jianmu tree swayed gently in the starry sky. Although no sound could be heard, the tree's joy was palpable.

Soon, within the tree canopy, a glimmer of golden-red light, drawn from the tree's veins, flowed to a branch and slowly condensed.

A red fruit visibly grows larger, suspended on a branch, and in the blink of an eye, under the deliberate nutrient supply from the tree, it develops, grows, and falls off.

"Master, Master, it's done."

Qin Xiao, with a strange expression, took out the fruit that Jianmu had presented to him from the demon realm.

The identification skill is activated.

Mysterious Fruit: A fruit containing pure flesh and blood power and divine power; consuming it can greatly enhance the corresponding talent or skill.

Holding the bright red fruit in his hand, Qin Xiao's mind raced with a thousand "Holy crap!" thoughts.

Goodness, Jianmu has been growing for so long, but that Life Essence skill has never been activated. Qin Xiao once thought it was because its level was not high enough and it might need to grow further.

The price was high for a long time because there were no raw materials, right?

Qin Xiao felt the fruit in his hand was a bit too hot to handle. After all, according to his estimation, it must have come from purifying the divine power of the Crimson Lord within the Wooden Bear Abari.

However, the Crimson Lord is not an ethereal being; this thing has actually met Qin Xiao before.

Will there be any side effects if I eat this fruit?

After all, this behavior is like stealing the power of a god, exploiting a deity, and it's hard to say what the consequences will be.

"Xiao Qin, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qin Xiao's changing expression and strange look, Ye Qingya couldn't help but ask.

Qin Xiao handed her the fruit. "This fruit was made by my beast tamer. The raw material was that bishop from earlier. I guess it absorbed the divine power from his body. What should we do with it?"

After speaking, Qin Xiao looked at her hopefully. "Mayor, you've eaten more salt than I have...you must have a way, right?"

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Ye Qingya's eyes widened.

"Are you sure? This is a fruit created by absorbing divinity?"

Ye Qingya had seen Qin Xiao's terrifying giant tree before, but she never expected it to have this ability. It seems that the tree is even more terrifying than she imagined.

This is the power of a god! No matter what the means, stealing the power of a god is something that platinum-level beings like them can't possibly do.

Ye Qingya was at a loss for what to do.

Eat it? I dare not. Throw it away? What a waste.

Now, one person's confusion has turned into two people's confusion.

Ye Qingya thought for a moment, "How about... we find a strange beast to feed it and see what happens?"

Slovic's eyes widened, revealing a hint of anxiety.

"Please wait, this...this fruit is edible."

Ye Qingya and Qin Xiao both looked at her curiously, somewhat puzzled.

Slovic's expression was conflicted, as if he had made up his mind, and he spoke.

"Actually, our royal family also has this kind of fruit. The Transformation Fruit we gave you before was similar, but that was just an inferior version of this divine fruit."

He still looked suspicious when he saw the two of them.

"I can't go into specifics, but the royal family has the means to cultivate this fruit. As long as the divine energy is pure, it has unimaginable benefits for the person who consumes it."

"But if we consume this fruit, won't the god who was fleeced come after us along the thread?"

Slovic shook his head.

"Although divine energy originates from a certain god, pure divine power is merely a higher level of energy."

Judging from this, the last trace of spiritual energy from these evil gods has been purified; what remains is pure, high-level energy that can be consumed.

At this point, Slovic added another sentence.

"Even if we were to pursue them, it would be to investigate the lost spiritual energy and the 'culprit,' not the pure energy of this fruit."

At this point, Slovic looked at Qin Xiao with a hint of inquiry and curiosity in his eyes, as if asking what being created this fruit.

Qin Xiao was a bit flustered. If they chased after them, wouldn't they just go straight for Jianmu?

So here's the question: can the enemy track down Jianmu? And if they do, can they break through to the demon realm and infiltrate?

That probably won't work. You have to remember that he took the Jianmu tree into the demon realm space right in front of the evil god's consciousness.

It seems the other side couldn't find the location of Jianmu either.

Of course, it's also possible that the spirit of the Pillar of State slapped Him hard across the face, stunning Him so much that He didn't have time to react.

Or perhaps it was because at that time only a wisp of divine consciousness descended and paid attention, and the power was not comprehensive?

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much. Anyway, unless there are special circumstances, Qin Xiao won't release Jianmu for her.

After receiving the fruit from Ye Qingya, Qin Xiao was in a dilemma. Since it was edible, who should eat it?

It seems I don't have any flesh-and-blood abilities or related talents in my beast taming system.

"Mayor, are any of your abilities related to flesh and blood?"

Ye Qingya shook her head. "No, my talents are fire and fusion, and my beast taming is also mainly fire-based. Even the beetle's abilities are not related to flesh and blood."

Qin Xiao stroked his chin and looked at Ilya and Bai Lingyouyou.

"Actually, you can eat it together with the Transformation Fruit to enhance the life energy of the Transformation Fruit. It might even allow the Beast Tamer to fully transform ahead of time."
