Third Tier Upper Grade.
What kind of concept is this?
If compared to cultivators of the Human Race, it’s the Late Period of the Golden Core!
Though Dragon Blood Bodhi is different from ordinary Spirit Plants,
in the past, it was specially prepared by the Songyang Sect as a foundational fruit for their exceptional disciples during Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.
It actually doesn’t have much effect on Golden Core True Men.
But its grade is so high,
not to mention in Yan Kingdom, even across the entire Lingxu Realm, it is enough to incite jealousy and madness in Golden Core True Men, leading them to shamelessly fight for it!
Because, once you have this fruit, it’s equivalent to your own sect having a great chance of gaining an additional Golden Core True Man!
"Earlier, although I saw you all with Su Qingdai, I wasn’t sure in my heart. Unexpectedly, you’ve prepared a huge surprise for your master."
Chen Ye sighed.
After all, he only knew that Su Qingdai would obtain the Dragon Blood Bodhi, but didn’t know during which year or which Grotto Heaven trip she would get it.
He slightly opened one of the jade boxes.
Just a thin gap revealed an extremely rich crimson blood aura, refreshing the mind.
"Pa!"
Chen Ye quickly sealed the jade box again, fastening seven or eight restrictions to isolate the vitality, preventing the medicinal power from leaking.
"Yes, it’s indeed the legendary Dragon Blood Bodhi."
Chen Ye looked at the three disciples,
"Tell me, how did you get it? Around such Upper Grade Third Tier Spiritual Objects, there must surely be fierce guardians. You didn’t encounter any danger, did you?"
Zhiwei, with a calm demeanor and clear articulation, proceeded to narrate their experiences in the Grotto Heaven.
From how they unexpectedly met Su Qingdai and invited her to make medicinal cuisine, to Su Qingdai voluntarily revealing the whereabouts of the Dragon Blood Bodhi, and then the four joining forces to break the Blood Gathering Grand Array and slay the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer Scarlet-scaled Horned Serpent...
"I see."
After listening, Chen Ye couldn’t help but rub his brow.
Initially, he just casually hinted to Zhiwei, wanting the disciples to pay more attention if they ever had the chance.
Who could have imagined these girls would be so diligent, directly bringing the person along to lead the way, and the four of them jointly capturing the Dragon Blood Bodhi.
"Rest assured, Master, the disciples understand the principle of ’having a treasure can invite calamity.’"
Seeing her master’s changing expression, Zhiwei softly added,
"That Bodhi tree produced a total of three fruits. Su Qingdai had merit in guiding the breaking of the array, and she is a True Inheritor of Medicine King Valley, with a special status. Therefore, I decided to give her one fruit for her silence. Besides this, no outsiders are aware."
"You did right, there’s gain in sacrifice. Moreover, it’s just a Third Tier Spirit Fruit. The necessary boundaries should still be kept."
Chen Ye nodded with satisfaction.
He saw clearly, a Third Tier Spirit Fruit is indeed precious, but no matter how precious, it’s ultimately just an external object.
"Immortal Cultivation, in the end, is about cultivating this heart."
Chen Ye leaned back in the chair, his tone soothing, as he glanced at his three disciples,
"In the Cultivation Realm, there are many filthy acts where people turn against each other or stab each other in the back over a few Spirit Stones. If today you wanted to monopolize this fruit and burn bridges by silencing the one named Su, while I may cover for you, I would somewhat feel a sense of regret in my heart."
Zhiwei’s eyes slightly moved, a wave of warmth surged through her heart.
This is her master.
In Hunyuan City, many say the master acts eccentric, unaware of how the world works, daring to confront the guests of Ruins Country and disrupt the friendship between the two nations.
But in Zhiwei’s eyes, her master possesses the most impressive transparency and pride of the entire Cultivation Realm.
"Master! Master! And there’s this!"
At this moment, Qing Jun enthusiastically pulled another jade box from her bosom, her big eyes sparkling,
"Eldest sister said to leave that tree to others, but Qing Jun disagreed! Qing Jun brought back the unbloomed flower bud too! Though we don’t know if it’s edible, it sure will be useful to you, Master!"
"..."
Chen Ye took a look, and indeed it was a small flower bud.
Goodness, not only did they take the fruit, they even prematurely plucked the fruit that would mature hundreds of years later!
This girl truly has the trait of not leaving anything behind.
Although it hasn’t matured, it possesses some medicinal power, and barely holds some value in Spirit Stones.
"Ahem... splendidly done."
Chen Ye praised against his conscience, then pushed the jade box containing the Dragon Blood Bodhi back towards Zhiwei and Qing Jun.
"Master?" Zhiwei was taken aback.
"This Dragon Blood Bodhi may be an Upper Grade Third Tier, but its greatest effect is in reshaping the foundation for prodigies, solidifying the premise for Core Formation."
Chen Ye sternly spoke,
"My way diverges from that of the Dragon Blood Bodhi, eating it would be a waste. Yet for you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime divine object. Especially for Qing Jun, your unique constitution and robust vitality make the Dragon Blood Bodhi as if tailor-made for you."
These two Dragon Blood Bodhi were risked for by the disciples in the Grotto Heaven.
What face does Chen Ye have to consume them?
Moreover, he has proficiency panels, for Chen Ye, Golden Core can be achieved by just following the steps in cultivation.
As for the three disciples, though they are exceptionally gifted, the Golden Core is ultimately a significant bottleneck, with any slight negligence potentially halting their progress for many years.
Zhiwei hastily replied: "Master, my path doesn’t align with the Dragon Blood Bodhi either. Two fruits are here; one for Qing Jun is sufficient — we sought the Dragon Blood Bodhi because it’s meant for Qing Jun, just as the Celestial Burning Treasure Scroll is for Jin’er. As for the remaining fruit, let Master consume it to achieve Core Formation sooner."
"You girl, you usually seem insightful, how come you’re being stubborn now?"
Chen Ye, hearing this, tersely extended his hand, lightly tapping on Zhiwei’s smooth forehead.
"Hey..." Zhiwei covered her forehead, somewhat aggrieved, yet stubbornly looking at her master.
"This fruit is to help you establish your Tao Foundation, how could it not align with your path?" Chen Ye laughed.
