Chapter 788 Five Elements Tree
Chapter 788 Five Elements Tree
Wang Wan’er approached and said to Ling Feng, "According to my guess, the fruit on this tree might carry the attributes of the five elements, and these different colors represent the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng looked up, remembered the Five Elements Bead in his hand, took it out for comparison, and discovered that the colors really corresponded!
"Five Elements Fruit?"
Muttering to himself, Ling Feng raised his head, "Then, what use could this thing have?"
"I’m not sure yet, but I believe it will definitely be useful!" Wang Wan’er spoke.
Ling Feng nodded, thinking to himself that if the fruit really contained the Power of the Five Elements, it indeed would be a valuable item!
The fragrance of flowers was overwhelming, a scent none of them had ever encountered before, giving a refreshing sensation that deeply delighted the senses.
Consequently, Li Shiyun couldn’t help but say, "Even if it didn’t bear fruit, just the fragrance of the flowers could be made into a special perfume."
"That’s right, wait until I figure out how to expand the planting range, and then I can produce this perfume for all the sisters!" Wang Wan’er nodded and said.
Ling Feng’s attention wasn’t on the perfume, he looked up to see the flowers fully bloom, and couldn’t help but ask, "Does this thing need pollination to bear fruit?"
"It shouldn’t be necessary, just wait and see," Wang Wan’er replied.
After another ten minutes, the flowers began to wither, and soon the petals fell one by one, immediately turning the ground into a canvas of multiple colors.
Li Shiyun stepped forward to pick up a petal, smelled it, and laughed, "Now we’re in luck, we can make perfume with these petals without destroying the flowers!"
Hearing this, the other girls approached as well, picking up petals and taking a sniff.
Indeed, the floral fragrance was still present, and perhaps due to the maturity, the scent had become even more intense!
The girls now had something to keep them busy, squatting down to gather the petals, planning to make perfume later.
When Ling Feng saw the greenish fruits growing on the tree, he looked at Wang Wan’er, "How long until these mature?"
"I’m not too sure, but it feels like it would take at least a few hours?" Wang Wan’er answered.
"That’s perfect, I need to discuss some important matters with you!"
Ling Feng smiled and relayed Chen Ping’s words to her.
Wang Wan’er was initially surprised after hearing it, but she quickly reacted and asked, "How should I report to the Security Bureau, without holding anything back?"
"You decide how to handle it, and if you really can’t make a decision, you can discuss it with everyone," Ling Feng said, feeling that he might not have the time to keep an eye on the plants all the time.
"Okay."
Wang Wan’er nodded, then suggested, "Should we name this tree the Five Elements Tree?"
"No issues, if the fruit is useful, you can start preparing for mass cultivation," Ling Feng said after a moment, taking a box out of his ring and handing it to Wang Wan’er.
"Leave it to me!"
Wang Wan’er nodded, visibly pleased.
Four hours later, the fruits on the Five Elements Tree began to change color, slowly turning into the color of the flowers.
When the color change was complete, Wang Wan’er informed everyone that the fruit had matured!
Li Fei’er looked on with curiosity, "Can these be eaten?"
"I’m afraid not."
Ling Feng smiled, leapt up, his figure flashed atop the tree, and he plucked a few red fruits.
No sooner had he touched them than he felt an intense sensation, which made him startle!
After landing, the girls crowded around, curiously examining the red fruit in his hand.
The fruit was about the size of an apple, thoroughly red, and seemed like tiny clusters of flames.
"Make way, everyone."
Ling Feng said as he threw a fruit toward the open space in the distance!
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a blaze ignited instantly, turning into a massive fireball!
"Uh..."
Seeing this, Li Fei’er was dumbfounded, then stuck out her tongue, "I’m glad I didn’t eat it, or I might have been burnt to death by now!"
"Not only is this thing inedible, it’s also somewhat dangerous, Wan’er, you must be careful!" Ling Feng warned.
"I know."
Wang Wan’er nodded, "As long as you don’t focus spiritual power on it, it won’t transform!"
Ling Feng laughed, "Since you know, then I’m relieved."
To activate the power of the Five Elements within the fruit, one indeed needed to infuse it with spiritual power, otherwise, throwing it would have no effect, it would only smash the fruit.
Looking up, Ling Feng glanced at the other fruits and quickly picked them as well.
The blue one contained the Power of Water and could turn into a mist when thrown.
The golden one had the power of metal, which could transform sand and rocks into metal, the type was not fixed, it was random.
As for the fruits of wood and earth power, the effects were not very noticeable, presumably they would be miraculous when targeting something specific.
Knowing this was enough, Ling Feng quickly plucked all the fruits from the tree and placed them in five piles on the ground.
No sooner had he finished picking than Li Fei’er pointed at the Five Elements Tree and said, "Look, it’s still growing!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng turned his head to look and indeed saw the tips of the five branches growing!
"What’s going on?"
Not just him, even Wang Wan’er was a bit dumbfounded, unsure of what had happened.
But soon, a black sphere started to emerge from the tips of the branches, and it was then that Wang Wan’er exclaimed, "That’s its seed!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then he understood.
The Five Elements Fruits did not have the ability to reproduce; they were merely the functional products produced by the tree, while the real fruit was the black sphere at the top of the branches.
Without a doubt, that contained the same type of seed he held in his hand!
With this, the Five Elements Tree could be truly mass-produced!
In his excitement, Ling Feng thought to himself, It seems that the seeds from beyond the heavens grow into fun things, all of which can add strength to me!
It’s just a pity, he had no idea who was responsible for this, and what their motives were.
Having witnessed the marvel of the Five Elements Tree, everyone was filled with curiosity about the remaining eight types of seeds, wondering what they would grow into.
But, as a precaution, Ling Feng decided to plant them one by one to avoid any chaos if something went wrong.
By the time he came out of the Nine Heavens, it was already deep into the night at home.
No one followed him out, it was just Ling Feng by himself, so after washing up, he quickly fell asleep.
The next day, he had agreed to begin a new round of training with Zhou Yi, but as soon as dawn broke, Ling Feng was awakened by a huge commotion.
The noise wasn’t coming from his doorstep but from inside the village, so he quickly dressed and stepped out, taking a look in front of his house.
And Ling Feng was stunned in an instant!
Large machines had suddenly appeared in the village, excavators, bulldozers, and heavy-duty sand trucks!
With Li Shiyun not around, Ling Feng had no clue what had happened, so he hurried over, and upon seeing Aunt Guihua in the crowd, he quickly asked, "Aunt, what’s all this about?"
