Chapter 697 - 283 The Greatest Noble Family_3
"Without practicing cultivation, you’re born this way. You just need to eat to grow. I tried to teach you to eat, but your constitution was too poor. You couldn’t eat anything, and even if you did, you couldn’t digest it. There’s nothing I can do," said Han Ling’Er helplessly.
Li Xiu was a bit speechless. Born this way—could she be a child of the divine?
Seeing Li Xiu’s frustrated look, Han Ling’Er laughed, "That’s why I said we’re a bit different. My way of growing isn’t suitable for you. Some things can’t be forced. Since then, you can learn whatever you want as long as you’re happy."
Li Xiu thought about it and realized it was true. Afterward, Han Ling’Er didn’t make him eat those strange things anymore, and whatever he wanted to do, she let him, unless he did something wrong. Most of Li Xiu’s childhood wishes were fulfilled. Although he had no parents, his childhood was very happy, not tragic at all.
Li Xiu and Han Ling’Er talked about some other things and, seeing it was almost dinnertime, they returned to the old house.
Han Ling’Er said she wanted to cook for them, but how could Li Xiu let her do it? He quickly stopped her and did the cooking himself.
Han Ling’Er had already told Li Xiu that she would go to that road tonight, not knowing when she would return, so he didn’t spend the night at the old house and prepared to travel to White Night City overnight.
Before leaving, Han Ling’Er put a pendant around Li Xiu’s neck, saying it was a gift from her father that could ensure safety. She told him to always wear the necklace when she wasn’t around.
The pendant was just a red string with a gold coin hanging on it, nothing special, and there was no light energy fluctuation.
After bidding farewell to Han Ling’Er, Li Xiu and Chu Jun headed towards White Night City together.
Halfway there, Chu Jun suddenly screamed and fell off the demon spirit mount.
Everyone was shocked and quickly went to see what was wrong with Chu Jun.
But before they could reach Chu Jun’s body, they saw Chu Jun’s White Lotus emerge. It grew rapidly under Chu Jun, turning into a giant lotus, constantly emitting divine light, like a volcanic eruption.
The lotus petals wrapped around Chu Jun’s body layer by layer, and the light grew more intense.
"What’s happening... how did it suddenly become super spirit..." Everyone looked puzzled at Chu Jun, wrapped in the lotus.
Li Xiu and the others knew that Chu Jun had been A-level and hadn’t even reached S-level, so how did he suddenly become super spirit?
While they were puzzled, Demonic Light began to rise from Ah Fei and Sha Chu as well, and they were surprised to find their levels quickly increasing.
While Li Xiu was still confused, he saw magic light also blooming on the bodies of Chu Qi and Li Qingyi.
Chu Qi’s Symbiotic Contract emerged and also began to achieve super spirit.
Magic light sparkled on Li Qingyi’s body, with the light veins constantly condensing, leaving Li Qingyi overjoyed.
"Such vast light energy... where is it coming from..." Li Qingyi suddenly thought of the strange fruit she ate today.
Only Li Xiu felt nothing, as he hadn’t eaten that fruit.
The terrifying energy pushed Ah Fei and Sha Chu to S-level, and they too began to achieve super spirit.
Li Xiu realized where the problem lay and could not help but smile bitterly: "Oh my sister, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you had such a good thing? They got all the benefits, and I didn’t even eat one."
Li Xiu used to be scared by the strange things that Han Ling’Er made him eat, so he didn’t dare eat today, not knowing it would result in this.
Magic light on Li Qingyi disappeared first, and she looked at Li Xiu and said, "What on earth did sister give us to eat?"
"How would I know," Li Xiu said. If he knew, it wouldn’t have been Chu Jun eating three alone.
Li Qingyi glanced at Chu Jun and the others and said with a strange expression, "I have heard of something. Legend has it there’s a Gem Tree in Celestial City. The Gem Fruit it bears, if one can eat it, will allow the Trial Taker to gain abundant light energy and rapidly upgrade levels... but no one has truly seen the Gem Tree. It’s only documented in Demon Kingdom texts, and many people think it’s just a myth from the Demon Kingdom."
"Before I came, I only had three light veins, and now I have thirty-six. I’m afraid the fruit sister gave us is akin to the Gem Fruit," Li Qingyi said, looking at Li Xiu and asking, "Li Xiu, what’s your origin?"
"What origin could I have? Just an ordinary person," Li Xiu couldn’t explain and simply didn’t bother. Looking at Li Qingyi, he asked in return, "How could you condense thirty-six light veins? If I remember correctly, the best Light Condensation Technique in Demon Text should only condense twelve light veins, right?"
"The Light Condensation Technique I practice is not from the Demon Text Institute; it’s from my father," Li Qingyi said, seeing Li Xiu unwilling to say more, and she didn’t inquire further.
On the other side, Chu Qi had already succeeded in becoming super spirit, as well, and the light energy on her body gradually faded away.
Ah Fei and Sha Chu also succeeded in becoming super spirit, but only Chu Jun’s lotus continued to rise with demonic light.
Li Qingyi and the others increasingly felt their earlier guess was correct. The fruit given by the sister was extraordinary. Chu Jun ate three and obtained far more energy than the rest, thus lasting so long.
"Sister truly is like a fairy!" Chu Jun exclaimed in excitement when the lotus returned into his body, "My Child Silent Strange Power Mantra has been perfected, and the super spirit limit has reached one hundred percent."
In a flash, becoming super spirit, with a super spirit limit of one hundred percent, and condensing twenty-eight light veins, Chu Jun realized he had made a fortune.
Ah Fei and Sha Chu had only just become super spirit, not yet condensing light veins and still far below Chu Jun, but their super spirit limit reached one hundred percent.
Chu Qi condensed twelve light veins, still fewer than Chu Jun’s, but she also reached the super spirit limit of one hundred percent.
"Li Xiu, it turns out your family is the biggest noble family. With such a fairy-like sister, randomly handing out some fruit that’s so astonishing, no wonder you’re so powerful," Chu Jun said, looking Li Xiu up and down.
