In the evening, when Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun returned, they first went to their space to pick some vegetables and fruits, and then went to the ranch to slaughter a pig and get some pork belly and ribs. They had almost finished eating the vegetables and meat at home, so this trip was a good opportunity for them to replenish their supplies.
That evening, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun returned to their space as soon as they finished dinner. As soon as they entered the space, Lin Qing couldn't wait to speak to the system.
"System, claim your back-to-school gift pack."
"Ding... Back-to-school gift pack successfully claimed! Would you like to open it?"
Lin Qing looked at the package in the system space and said softly, "Open it!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have obtained the following items: 1,000 yuan for books, a four-piece bedding set, a red peony porcelain basin, a toothbrush cup, a toothbrush, a red peony thermos, a set of golden needles, a book of herbal medicine, a packet of herb seeds, and five bottles of high-grade nutrient solution."
"Premium nutrient solution? Brother Nanxun, we're still a few bottles short."
Lin Qing never forgot the dragon scale fruit she planted, the closest fruit tree to them that could increase lifespan.
Gu Nanxun glanced at the warehouse. "I checked in with a few bottles earlier, and with these five you brought, we now have a total of 11 bottles left over! That should be about enough!"
“One bottle of high-grade nutrient solution can reduce the growth period by one year, so 11 bottles would take 11 years. Let’s see how long it will take for the dragon scale fruit to ripen.”
As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, she couldn't wait to teleport to the side of the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree, and Gu Nanxun followed closely behind.
Dragon Scale Fruit:
These are the seeds of a very delicious fruit from a magical world. They thrive in spiritual energy and can be planted with spirit stones and spirit spring water, or with jade rich in spiritual energy.
The Dragon Scale Fruit has a texture similar to dragon scales on its surface, making it very popular among people in the magical world. The fruit is not only delicious, but one fruit can also increase one's lifespan by 10 years. Due to the scarcity of seeds and the difficulty of cultivation, it is extremely expensive.
Dragon scale fruit: It will take another 10 years for the fruit to mature.
"Brother Nanxun, it will take another ten years for the dragon scale fruit to mature."
Lin Qing said to Gu Nanxun with delight.
"Hmm, it seems we can enjoy the fruits of the Dragon Scale Fruit today."
Gu Nanxun also said happily.
"Yes, after all these years, it's finally time to mature."
Lin Qing stared intently at the dragon scale fruit tree, her face filled with excitement.
"We will have more opportunities in the future."
Seeing Lin Qing's excited expression, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair to comfort her.
Lin Qing turned to look at Gu Nanxun, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face. "Yes! They will definitely have more and more benefits to enjoy in the future."
"Then... let's begin!"
Gu Nanxun patted Lin Qing's head and said with a smile.
Lin Qing nodded emphatically upon hearing this: "Okay, let's begin!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, for successfully using the advanced nutrient solution. The growth period of the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree has been reduced by one year."
"Ding... Dragon Scale Fruit, it will take another 9 years for the fruit to mature."
"Ding... Congratulations, host, for successfully using the advanced nutrient solution. The growth period of the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree has been reduced by one year."
"Ding... Dragon Scale Fruit, it will take another 8 years for the fruit to mature."
"Ding... Congratulations, host, for successfully using the advanced nutrient solution. The growth period of the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree has been reduced by one year."
"Ding... Dragon Scale Fruit, it will take another 7 years for the fruit to mature."
...
"Ding... Congratulations, host, for successfully using the advanced nutrient solution. The growth period of the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree has been reduced by one year."
"Ding... The Dragon Scale Fruit is ripe. Please pick it in time. If it is not picked, it will fall off on its own in 4 hours."
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance, their smiles growing wider as they looked excitedly at the four fruits before them.
"Can the system just harvest them directly?"
Looking at the fruit in front of her, Lin Qing cautiously asked the system.
"Yes, host, you can just pick them directly."
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then carefully picked the four fruits from the dragon scale fruit tree one by one.
Dragon Scale Fruit:
With a texture resembling dragon scales, this fruit is highly sought after by people in the magical world. Not only is it delicious, but each fruit can also increase one's lifespan by 10 years, and each person can only eat one.
"Brother Nanxun, it seems like each person can only have one!"
Looking at the description of the Dragon Scale Fruit, Lin Qing couldn't help but say regretfully.
"It's already pretty good. We still have peaches of immortality, and we can exchange dragon scale fruits for other fruits that increase lifespan."
Gu Nanxun was actually quite disappointed, but being able to extend his lifespan by ten years was already quite good. Therefore, after his disappointment subsided, Gu Nanxun calmed down and comforted Lin Qing.
"I know, it's just that I was a little disappointed to find that it was different from what I expected. If that's the case, we can each eat one, and then we can live to be 55 years old."
Lin Qing calmed herself down and said happily, "Today is a really good day, a day worth celebrating."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but smile. He knew that lifespan had always been a major concern for him, and now he finally saw hope.
Lin Qing handed a dragon scale fruit to Gu Nanxun: "Nanxun-ge, let's eat it together!"
Gu Nanxun accepted the dragon scale fruit from Lin Qing, the two smiled at each other, and then took a bite of the fruit together. The juice of the fruit burst in their mouths, and a sweet and refreshing taste quickly spread, as if carrying a spiritual energy that invigorated them.
"This is so delicious! It's the best fruit I've ever eaten," Lin Qing exclaimed excitedly, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
Gu Nanxun nodded in agreement. He could feel the changes in his body, as if a warm current was flowing through him, making him feel more comfortable and energetic than ever before.
"This Dragon Scale Fruit is indeed extraordinary. It lives up to its reputation as a fruit that can increase lifespan. It is truly remarkable," Gu Nanxun remarked with admiration.
Lin Qing nodded excitedly: "Yes, we've both gained ten years of lifespan now, it's amazing! What should we do with the other two, Brother Nanxun? Put them in the display case?"
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment, then said, "Well, let's put it in the display window for now! We can use it to exchange for fruits with the same effects."
Lin Qing nodded: "Okay, then I'll put it on the display window."
After finishing speaking, Lin Qing put the Dragon Scale Fruit on the display window, entered the points in the purchase points column, and noted that it could be exchanged for fruits, plants or pills with the same effect.
After putting the Dragon Scale Fruit on the shelves, Lin Qing looked at the seed in her hand and muttered to herself, "I wonder if this seed can be planted."
"We can try it out. We have the spiritual spring water, so it should be fine!"
Gu Nanxun looked at the fruit pit in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said.
"Okay... let's give it a try. We won't lose anything even if it doesn't grow."
Lin Qing nodded in agreement.
Next, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun carefully planted the dragon scale fruit pit in the soil and then watered it with some spiritual spring water.
