Chapter 251 Harvesting the Spirit Fruit Tree, Deciding to Enter the Inner Enclosure

After asking her question, Wenwen looked around, not daring to let Aying see her expression. After all, Aying was a divine bird, and it would be embarrassing if the bird saw through her gossipy nature.

There's a saying that goes something like this: as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

However, it's best to avoid awkwardness if possible; isn't it better to just have fun normally?

Ah Ying didn't keep her waiting long, and replied with a sigh, "Yes."

"What is it? A spirit fruit or a spirit herb?"

"neither."

"Ah, none of them, then why did you say there were?" Wenwen's voice was a bit loud, startling the birds flying by the roadside.

Aying suddenly pointed to a tree where the bird had just been standing and said, "Master, that's a spirit fruit tree. You can try it; it's quite good."

Spirit Fruit Tree?

Several people heard this and looked over.

This is a tall tree with a huge canopy that spreads out like a big umbrella. The fruit on the tree is bright red and looks about the size of a jujube. A bunch of fruit hangs down, and from a distance, it looks as cute as a bunch of candied hawthorns.

What kind of fruit tree is this?

Wenwen was not ashamed to ask questions. Her small courtyard was not a celestial library and would not have all kinds of books. It was normal that they did not recognize the fruit tree. If you don't know, don't pretend to know. Just ask humbly and no one will blame you.

"Red algae tree".

"Ahem, ahem—is this such a down-to-earth name the one we thought it was?" Wen Chengbin couldn't help but ask.

Aying: "Of course not, it's the 'zao' in seaweed. It's just one character different, but the taste is completely different."

Wenwen picked a bunch and shared them with everyone. Well, the fruit has a unique flavor, with the texture of egg yolk pastry, the aroma of pineapple mixed with cucumber, just like eating vegetarian snacks. It tastes good as a snack, and I think the whole family will like it.

"Well, it's delicious."

"Why does it smell like seafood?"

"Nonsense, the character 'algae' in seafood means seafood, don't be so smug."

"Since we're lucky enough to find it, let's pick it and take it home."

After Wenwen finished speaking, she began to pick the fruit. With a flick of her hand, a ball of spiritual energy split into four or five threads of spiritual energy, which coiled around four or five bunches of spiritual fruit.

The others saw this and joined in. In an instant, the people under the tree each took a spot and used their spiritual energy to pick the fruit according to their cultivation level.

After a while, all the fruit on the tree was picked clean, and they didn't even leave behind any of the fruit that the birds had pecked at.

After picking the spiritual fruits, the group couldn't wait to grab a handful and start eating.

Wenwen was enjoying her meal when she suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy. At the same time, an unknown substance fell on her head, her arm, and her body. When she looked up, she saw a flock of birds flying overhead, a dense, large swarm.

Holy crap, this is a bird bomb!

The bird probably emptied its recent reserves before struggling to fly away.

As a result, none of them survived.

Aying covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master, you picked all the fruit, that's why they're acting like this."

Wen Chengbin smelled the odor on his body and said with disgust, "Ugh, I couldn't escape it before, and I still can't escape it now. This is outrageous."

Wen Chengjian: "You've made progress, but others have made progress too."

What I'm saying is that the bird that led the way was also at the third level of Qi Refining, and it was followed by a group of helpers at the first and second levels of Qi Refining. If they really fought, they wouldn't be able to defeat Wenwen and the others. So, they had to use a surprise attack and have them all run away together.

The birds had already flown far away, and Wenwen and the others didn't want to chase after them anymore. They sighed as they watched the birds fly away, and with a wave of their hands, they cast a cleansing spell on themselves.

Since the fruit is so popular, should she dig up a sapling and plant it? With this thought in mind, Wenwen wandered around the fruit tree.

"Little sister, what are you looking for?"

"Find some saplings, dig up a few to plant, and see if they can survive."

"Makes sense."

Upon hearing this, Aying immediately poured cold water on their enthusiasm, saying, "Do you think spirit fruit trees are so easy to grow?"

Wen Chengjian: "Isn't it difficult to grow? Aren't they thriving here?"

Aying: "Because there is spiritual energy here."

Wen Qilin: "The valley also has a spiritual energy."

Aying: "There is also sacred land here."

Wen Qiyuan: "...At worst, we can dig up some spiritual soil and take it back with us."

Wenwen and Wenchengbin ignored the questions and answers from those people, focusing solely on finding the spirit tree seedling.

"Oh dear, there's one here."

"Oh, there are some there too."

After finding a few, they walked a little further away to search, and found some low-level spiritual herbs and plants, as well as some wild vegetables and mushrooms. Although these vegetables contained very little spiritual energy, they were still considered spiritual vegetables, which was a harvest for them. So they put them all into their storage bags as soon as they found them.

Ah Ying also tried to persuade everyone to give up, saying, "It's really hard to grow, it's a waste of effort. If you don't listen to the elders, you'll suffer the consequences."

Wenwen retorted, "As the old saying goes, 'Whether there are dates or not, let's shoot first and see.' How will we know if it can grow if we don't try? What if it does?"

Ah Ying was exasperated. "Even if it survives, it might not bear fruit like this."

Wen Chengbin laughed and said, "If it doesn't bear red fruit, what if it bears green fruit? Wouldn't that make it a tree of green algae? Hahaha... Maybe it will grow green algae, which would be like seafood hanging on a big tree. Just thinking about it is quite interesting, hahaha..."

"..."

Wen Chengbin got excited and turned into his husky nature again, laughing non-stop, it was almost unbearable to watch, while the others walked forward.

Wenwen leaned closer and asked, "Aying, do you know where there are any good things around here? Why don't you take us to see them and let us see them?"

A sly glint flashed in Aying's eyes. "You really want to go? There are powerful monsters there."

"How strong? Didn't you say I could beat you? I'm not afraid."

"A Qi Refining Level 5 Iron Claw Wolf Demon."

"Iron Claw Wolf Demon, Level 5!"

Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly gathered around, wanting to speak up and dissuade them, but then felt it was inappropriate. They had already made their decision when entering the mountains, and it was not the Wen family's style to go back on their word now.

Once they embarked on the path of cultivation, they understood that the world of cultivators was actually more cruel than that of the mortal world. Some cultivators would kill and plunder treasures and commit all sorts of evil deeds in order to climb the ranks. Although demonic beasts were terrifying, compared to cultivators, they were nothing but small fry. At least demonic beasts did not resort to tricks and schemes.

These are only first-tier demonic beasts now. What will they do if they encounter higher-tier demonic beasts in the future? Are they going to desert? How could they? The Wen family vowed never to desert. If they wouldn't desert, they would face them head-on. They would start from this moment, from hunting demonic beasts, and begin their training.

Wenwen comforted everyone: "Dad, Second Uncle, Brothers, believe me, I can do it."

Wen Qilin said directly to Aying, "Aying, let's go, lead the way."

Wen Chengbin, as always, laughed and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up, it'll get dark soon if we dawdle any longer."

Wen Qiyuan patted him on the shoulder, "You're the most talkative one, chattering away all day long."

Then, the five people and one bird quickly headed towards the inner perimeter of the Yanqian Mountains.
