Chapter 370 Huang Zhongli matures Huang Zhongli matures faster than...

The speed at which the yellow plum matured was beyond Ye Lu's expectations.

Before Ye Lu had even had time to wait, Huang Zhongli's strange plant consciousness contacted him and told him that it had officially matured.

Although Ye Lu felt that what Huang Zhongli said before might be true, he was still a little hesitant. When he really arrived in front of Huang Zhongli's strange plant, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Ye Lu looked up at the three fruits above.

The fruit is the size of a palm-sized apricot, growing on the crown of the Huangzhongli tree. It is bright yellow and looks like three small suns among the lush green leaves. Countless strange powers burst out from the pale yellow fruit, then gather and condense inside the fruit. Unknown patterns are also drawn on the surface of the fruit, and the patterns change with the changes of the strange power.

The Green Pine Strange Plant had already been in the sky directing the medicine-pounding rabbits to block the strange beads at the roots of the Huangzhongli tree.

Although the big rabbits cannot do some overly delicate work, they can still do some rough work, and they do it very well. Not to mention that Qingsong did not let them crush the strange pearl, but only instructed them to put the strange pearl at the root of the Huangzhongli tree. They did a very good job.

The crystal clear strange beads piled up into a small hill at the roots of the trees. There was no need to wait for long. As soon as the strange beads were placed on the ground, countless tender white tree roots crawled out from underneath to crush the strange beads and began to absorb the strange power.

The two fruits on the crown of the tree began to ripen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The aroma in the air became stronger and stronger.

In the end, Ye Lu could smell the rich and refreshing fruity fragrance even when standing under the tree.

Qingsong's consciousness landed beside Ye Lu. It saw all the changes in the Huangzhongli fruits. Naturally, it also saw that the two Huangzhongli fruits turned dark yellow at the last moment. It breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, they are ripe."

"If it's not mature yet, there may be no more strange beads to use on the mountain. We can only go to He Village at the foot of the mountain to ask for some." Qingsong said with relief.

As a top-level companion strange plant, Huang Zhongli is worthy of its status as an innate top-level spiritual plant in its previous life. Even though it has changed the world and identity, it has to pay a huge price every time it wants to bloom and bear fruit. The destiny of this world is still quite tolerant and allows Huang Zhongli to continue to bloom and bear fruit on the premise that it is a little weaker.

But in this way, they would need to consume even more strange beads.

This time, Huang Zhongli spent nearly 300,000 Blood Grudge-level Ghost Pearls on Chengmu, not to mention that the stored Qingyou-level Ghost Pearls were almost all used up. Not many Huangli-level Ghost Pearls were spent. It's not that he didn't have time, but mainly because the Huangli-level Ghost Pearls had too little ghost power, and the three brothers didn't need them for their cultivation. Most of the stored Huangli-level Ghost Pearls were used to cultivate ghost plants, so there weren't many. If there were any Qingsong, they would probably have all been consumed.

In other words, the maturity of Huangzhongli this time has consumed Chongshan’s savings over the years.

And it's just right? If it weren't for the six scarecrow beads, Qingsong suspected that Chongshan's savings over the years would not be enough for the yellow plum to bloom and bear fruit once.

Ye Lu was surprised: "All spent?"

Qingsong nodded: "Yes, didn't you see that except for some of the medicine-pounding rabbits planted in the orchard, all the other rabbits are here? They are all here to deliver the strange beads."

When he said this, Qingsong's tone was full of helplessness.

"If the flowering and fruiting of Huangzhongli this time were not so special, we should have informed Hecun long ago, and at least we could have gotten more strange beads from Hecun. Fortunately, your family has always had good luck, and the strange beads stored in the mountain are just enough." Otherwise, if the fruit failed at the last moment, even Qingsong would have felt regretful.

Fortunately, they were lucky and actually succeeded.

Huang Zhong's strange plant consciousness finally awakened from the shock of the ripening fruit.

The pale yellow strange plant's consciousness floated in front of Ye Lu, and it said in a tired tone: "I didn't expect that I could bloom and bear fruit again."

"Fortunately? It finally worked." As he spoke, Huang Zhongli's tone became much happier.

"I'll give you both fruits. I'll fall asleep later." Huang Zhongli looked at Ye Lu and asked, "Because of my special situation, the strange power contained in the two fruits is not the same. Some contain more and some contain less. The fruit at the top of the tree canopy has the strongest effect. The fruits below have only two-thirds of the effect of the fruit above. Have you thought about how to distribute the fruits?"

Huang Zhongli didn't need to wait for its companions to see it, it said it itself. If an innate spiritual plant wants to mature in such a short time, it must pay a certain price. For example, it would be very good if it could produce one mature fruit, even if there is a second fruit, it will be incomplete.

Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and did not explain directly to Huang Zhongli. Instead, he turned around and looked in a certain direction behind the mountains.

The spiritual consciousness of Huang Zhong Li Guizhi floated above Ye Lu's head. As a companion Guizhi, it could clearly sense the emotions of its companion. It looked in the direction the companion was looking.

In the distant direction, it can sense a powerful and violent strange force fluctuation in the galaxy? It is approaching this side quickly.

As the strange power fluctuations got closer and closer, Huang Zhongli slowly recognized the identity of the visitor.

Huang Zhongli Guizhi's spiritual sense listened to the bursts of bird calls coming from the back mountain and already knew the identity of the visitor. He suddenly realized: "So it's for this kid? It's not impossible."

"So should I give him a big fruit or a small fruit?"

"Give him the big one." Before Ye Lu could speak, he heard the familiar voice of the ghost scholar behind him. He calmly interrupted him and replied to Huang Zhongli: "Give the small one to Brother Lu."

Ye Lu frowned. This was different from what he expected. Ye Lu had planned to give the smaller one to the ghost scholar and the larger one to the playful man.

Although the Ghost Scholar is now a deity, he is still the weakest among the three. The little Huang Zhongli just makes up for his lack of strength.

Ye Lu turned his head to look at the ghost scholar, and just then he saw that the black-haired scholar had a different expression from his usual gentle expression. It was more serious and more unquestionable.

"I don't need it." The ghost scholar said firmly.

Ye Lu frowned even more tightly.

The ghost scholar acted as if he didn't see Ye Lu's disapproving expression and continued to state his own conclusion: "I've calculated that I don't need to do anything in this disaster. This means that even if I eat this batch of Huangzhong plums, it will be useless. Only you and Ah Xi can eat them."

Ye Lu was silent.

In order to prevent Ye Lu from not believing him, the ghost scholar continued to explain: "I came up this time because of the instinctive reaction of the gods. Believe me, this is within my responsibility, and I know it better than anyone else."

Ye Lu made a "tsk" sound, because he really sensed the sincerity in the ghost scholar's words, and the ghost scholar did not lie.

Ye Lu was very disappointed in his heart, because because Huang Zhongli was his companion strange plant, he was not really eager for Huang Zhongli. After all, as long as he lived long enough, he would be able to eat the fruit of the companion strange plant sooner or later. But Ah Gui must be much more anxious than him.

The ghost scholar seemed not to notice Ye Lu's dissatisfaction, and continued calmly: "Don't look at me like that. Anyway, the yellow plum is your companion plant, and I will be able to eat it sooner or later."

There is no need to rush for the time being.

"Now-----" The ghost scholar said and turned around, just in time to meet the gorgeous big bird rushing over from a distance.

Following his instinct, Axi the bird rushed towards the place with the most fragrant and best smelling food. His instinct told him that what he wanted most was there. But when he really arrived at the destination, the situation was beyond his expectations. Axi the bird never thought that he would see everyone on this mountain.

He almost thought that some accident had happened.

Especially, the ghost scholar was looking at him with a smile on his face. When he came over, he happened to see the ghost scholar turning his head, as if he had estimated that he would turn his head when he arrived. The smile on the corner of the ghost scholar's mouth was still the kind of tricking smile that Ximingren was most familiar with. Ximingren didn't know how many times he had seen the ghost scholar kill the enemy with such a smile, and now the ghost scholar was facing him with such a smile again.

The big bird Axi was so frightened that the feathers on its head flew up.

“Jie?!”

"You can give it to him now." The ghost scholar said softly.

Ye Lu's brows slowly relaxed. There was no other way. The ghost scholar explained everything very clearly. Although Ye Lu was not very satisfied with the result, he had no choice but to do as the ghost scholar had arranged.

Ye Lu could only pick two Huangzhongli fruits from the tree crown. As expected, they were just as the Huangzhongli strange plant's consciousness said, one big and one small. The big one was almost the size of a palm, and the small one was only the size of a child's fist. The difference in size of the two fruits alone was huge.

"Eat first." Ye Lu handed the largest yellow plum fruit to Ah Xi Bird and said in a concise and shocking way that in the current situation, any weirdo who is familiar with the current situation on the mainland would know what is going on. In addition to Ah Xi Bird's recent changes, the disaster that Ah Xi Bird will encounter next will definitely be extraordinarily difficult, and it must recover its original strength as soon as possible.

The feathers on Axi Bird's head tilted, and it seemed even more confused.

Ye Lu did not explain too much and continued to push the dark yellow fruit in his hand towards the big bird Axi.

"eat."

Only then did the big bird Ah Xi swallow the fruit doubtfully.

The big bird Axi had just eaten a yellow plum in front of everyone. After it slowly closed its eyes and its breathing gradually stabilized, the whole bird nestled in front of Ye Lu.

Another moment.

What happened to everyone present? As if they sensed something, their faces changed and they all looked in a certain direction.

The Green Pine Strange Plant's spiritual consciousness is the highest level and strongest among all the people present. Its talent is the wood element with the most vigorous vitality. It can be said that it is the most sensitive to that breath.

Qingsong was the first to sense the desolate breath emanating from somewhere far away. This desolate breath was still expanding, as if it had captured the breath of the enemy here and was constantly spreading towards this side.

"He seems to have come out." Qingsong said with a sigh, the breath of the mortal enemy. If the breath of the big sun cub was something that made the tree disgusted, then this breath was the existence that made him angry.

Huang Zhongli also sensed it.

The dark yellow strange plant's consciousness looked at its companion not far away and said slowly: "Alu, you can eat the small fruit. It's just right. I'm about to fall into a deep sleep, which can help you absorb the power of the fruit."

The atmosphere of desolation is spreading quickly indeed, but it will take some time to really get out. This period of time is the time they can buy.

Qingsong also looked at Ye Lu.

Ye Lu sighed: "I know."

When it really came to the moment of life and death, Ye Lu still knew the right and wrong.
