Chapter 46 Dragon Blood Fruit
Teacher Yu speaks gently yet firmly, which always makes people believe in her.
Gu Qing, holding Xiao Yunduo, stood up from her chair. "Teacher Yu, this is my responsibility and purpose in coming here, so I won't shirk it. I'll need your help then."
The two walked out chatting and laughing, and those secretly watching from outside could immediately guess that Gu Qing had indeed leveled up.
This wasn't unusual, but it wasn't normal either. People would discuss it for a while, but Gu Qing didn't care. She isolated everyone by herself.
Chen Xingheng saw her come out and quickly stood up. "Qingqing."
Gu Qing came over and linked arms with him. "The test results are in, and I have indeed been promoted one level."
Chen Xingheng's face immediately broke into a smile. He knew he was the smartest and luckiest person, so he had chosen the most capable wife.
After saying goodbye to Teacher Yu, the two did not take the flying vehicle, but instead slowly strolled towards the Legion Shop.
There are many offices nearby, so there's a constant flow of people. This is the busiest time of day, so walking around here is just like being in a busy downtown area, which is quite interesting.
Occasionally, various shops are interspersed among them, and quite a few people come and go, but because it is the central area B and C, it is difficult for people to enter.
Therefore, most of those coming and going were men, with far fewer women. So, men's gazes would linger a little longer on a man like Chen Xingheng, who could be carried by a girl.
Gu Qing tried her best to ignore these stares, while Chen Xingheng thoroughly enjoyed the envious, jealous, and hateful looks they gave him as they entered a supermarket selling food.
Gu Qing let go of Chen Xingheng and strolled inside through the doorway. "Xingheng, shouldn't we treat everyone to dinner?"
"Yes, but didn't you say it was just a small banquet? I'll invite our team over then, um, about 20 people."
"Then I'll invite Qiao Xue, Chu Lan, Teacher Yu, Teacher Ruan, and Li Liang and the other two. That makes quite a few people."
Chen Xingheng helped him push the shopping cart. "So, when should we treat everyone? I need to go back to the team and order some meat from the alien beasts."
"If it can't be done tomorrow, we need to inform them in advance so that they have time for the day after tomorrow or the day after that. We can get things done as soon as possible so we don't have to worry about it."
Gu Qing picked out some specialty snacks, threw them into the shopping cart, and then walked to the beverage section, first choosing some drinks that girls like to drink.
She then turned around and hooked her arm around Chen Xingheng's, saying, "I don't know much about what your friends like to drink. You can pick out as many as you like."
After browsing around, Gu Qing bought quite a few decorations. She really liked these little things; she hadn't paid much attention to them before because she was busy, but now that she saw them, she wanted to collect them.
I picked out a few, but I wasn't satisfied, so I plan to go back and find some more online.
After paying for the items, they stored them in their spatial storage. The two then went to a nearby shop, whose entrance was decorated in a quaint and luxurious style.
The signboard is made of rare, original wood and reads: Qiu's Trading Company.
Although Gu Qing had only been in this world for a short time and had been focused on cultivation, she still had some understanding of this trading company.
After all, most of the supplies he bought online came from this trading company. The Qiu family dealt in various products related to exotic plants and beasts, ranging from simple energy foods to pure and purifying substances, and then to extended energy medicines and energy weapons.
It can be said that he has enormous assets and a wide network of connections.
Upon entering the store, there is a huge dragon fruit in the center. The tree is about three meters tall, with a rough trunk and winding, rugged branches.
There were no leaves on it, but rather white, yellow and red fruits hanging on it. To the untrained eye, it might look like a decoration.
However, as everyone in the interstellar community knows, this is a famous purifying plant. It has very demanding growing conditions, with the initial seedlings taking three years to grow.
It will take three years for the leaves to grow and for the flowers to bloom. This process takes a full two years, and if no mistakes are made, it will bear fruit after two years.
The fruits change from red to yellow and then to white. Once they turn white, they are fully ripe and can be harvested to make purification pills.
Purification pills can purify the mental pollution of fighters.
This fruit tree doesn't have a specific grade; the fruit it produces is graded by age, with the fruit from the first year being mostly grade one.
In the second year, there is a possibility of a Level 2, and in the third year, there is a possibility of a Level 3, but one-third of them will become Level 2. In the fourth year, there is a possibility of a Level 4, one-third of them will become Level 3, and the rest will all become Level 2.
And so on. This tree produces a lot of high-grade fruit, making it a purification plant that interstellar purifiers often plant.
Every 10 years, a pure seed will grow from the dragon blood fruit tree, and the older the tree, the better the seed's survival rate and growth.
However, there is also a downside: from the day it is planted, it cannot tolerate any pollution. If the pollution level exceeds 3, it will stop growing; if it exceeds 5, it will wither and die; and if it exceeds 10, it will die directly.
Therefore, such large mature trees are usually guarded by high-level purification masters. Otherwise, if the pollution level suddenly spikes, it will die in no time.
Gu Qing observed the tree and realized that it had been bearing fruit for more than three years, making it an important asset wherever it was.
Even in the wild, there are high-level mythical beasts guarding it.
However, the fact that it is now displayed in the lobby of this store shows the store's strength.
But thinking about it, it's understandable. This company has already opened a store on a newly developed planet, which shows how deeply rooted and well-established the Qiu family is.
As soon as the two entered, a live waiter came over and asked, "Gentlemen and ladies, are you looking to buy or sell?"
So they also do acquisitions! But then again, if it's just a shop here, what else could they sell if not for acquisitions? After all, they control the contribution points, but the bulk of the business still goes to the legion.
