Chapter 49 A Crimson Fruit

  When Wu Rui said he would stay for a while, Ah Niu and his clansmen were overjoyed. They even forgot about the original coronation ceremony and hurriedly invited Wu Rui to visit their stone cave as a guest.

  However, Wu Rui felt the dense spiritual energy in the forest and was not in a hurry to return to their residence with them. Moreover, although it was afternoon on Earth, Osen Star was a brand new day, so he said to Ah Niu: "Not for now, I want to take a walk around, you can arrange someone to accompany me."

  When Wu Rui said this, the eyes of the people below were filled with eagerness.

  "Wu Daifu is a god, I can follow you, the entire Rhinoceros Forest I am familiar with." Ah Niu hastily spoke up, jokingly, an opportunity to come into contact with a god, he certainly wouldn't let slip away.

  "Alright!" Wu Rui was casual, quietly taking away the ginseng on the altar before leading Ah Niu to walk towards the dense forest ahead. After all, this ginseng was offered to him, and now that he had taken it, it was only right. If he left it there, it would be a waste, watching hundreds of years' worth of ginseng being ruined, Wu Rui would absolutely not stand for it.

  The trees in the primeval forest are very tall and majestic, some even reaching heights of over a hundred meters. The base of the trunk is like a house, and if you hollow out the trunk, it would be a natural skyscraper. Of course, you wouldn't have to worry about lightning striking you before you dare live there.

  "The original planet, rich in spiritual energy, as long as it's not sick or accidental, can live for over a hundred years!" Wu Rui couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. When was the earth also a cultivation holy land? But now? The air in the city is so turbid that it's hard to live, and there are countless toxic substances. As for cultivation, don't even mention it, the decline of the True Realm is pitiful!

  Why is this? The direction of development has gone wrong, technology has indeed brought many conveniences to people, but it has been pushing the earth towards its end. Although the situation has improved somewhat now, it is still worrying.

  Now the planet of Osen is on the starting line, if it is allowed to develop freely, it is unknown which direction it will evolve in. It may be technology, martial arts, or even cultivation... Now, Wu Rui has the ability to intervene and even directly specify the final direction of this beautiful planet. However, is this good?

  Nature is the Way.

  However, since the dimensional clinic has transported itself here, it has already become compatible with the 'nature' of the Osen star, and in principle, the decisions it makes are also part of the natural way.

  How to choose, Wu Rui was momentarily bewildered.

  Wu Rui slightly shook his head, temporarily putting aside his thoughts and focusing on the present. However, he suddenly felt a fragrance wafting before him, which made his spirit quiver. He pointed to a direction on his right side and said to Ah Niu: "Let's go take a look over there!"

  "Ah... " Hearing this, Ah Niu was somewhat embarrassed. Seeing Wu Rui's inquiring gaze, he could only truthfully say: "Doctor Wu, there is a cliff just several hundred meters away from here."

  "Never mind, let's go!" Wu Rui took the lead and walked forward without saying a word. Along the way, he would occasionally stop to pick some herbs, such as Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, ginseng, and other commonly used medicinal materials that were everywhere to be seen, and they were not of low grade either, which made Wu Rui often unable to help but stop and pick some.

  This task only has ten days, and the task content will take up most of the time. It's also unknown whether he can come again in the future, so Wu Rui wants to collect as many Chinese herbal medicines as possible. If he can encounter a spiritual medicine, that would be even better.

  "Be careful, Mr. Wu! There's a big leopard ahead!" Just as Wu Rui was absorbed in his thoughts, Ah Niu, who was following behind, hastily reminded him loudly.

  "Big Leopard?" The name was somewhat unfamiliar to Wu Rui, he raised his head and took a glance, suddenly understanding that it was just a leopard, only the term used was different. But honestly speaking, the physique of this leopard in front of him was indeed more robust than ordinary leopards on Earth, also a breed that Wu Rui didn't recognize.

  Tiger Wu Rui had also fought one-on-one, so the leopard didn't mind, and continued digging up a ginseng from underground, saying indifferently: "Don't bother with it."

  "Could... could it be rationalized?!" Ah Niu was so anxious that he almost cried, his legs were a bit weak. The Rhinoceros Forest, as its name suggests, had the most rhinos, and other ferocious beasts were relatively rare. Unexpectedly, they encountered a fierce leopard right now.

  "Roar!!!" As expected, a shocking roar soon came from the front, and Wu Rui even heard a rapid running sound.

  However, Wu Rui remained calm and carefully dug up the thousand-year-old ginseng from the ground and put it away. Only then did he look up to see that the leopard had already arrived ten meters in front of him, its teeth bared as it pounced forward, bringing with it a gust of wind.

  "Leopard meat is delicious!" Wu Rui couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, and with a casual hand, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out with force.

  "Bang!" "Aaaaah!!!!!!......"

  The leopard in mid-air let out a miserable cry, fell straight to the ground, convulsed for a few moments and then stopped moving, apparently having given up its last breath.

  "... Ah Niu's mouth had already become an 'O' shape, only then did he remember that the person in front was a god, invincible, how could he be afraid of the big leopard? From now on, he didn't make another sound, carefully following behind."

  "Tonight's dinner is ready!" Wu Rui smiled, and with a flick of his wrist, the leopard on the ground was sucked into the Minna ring. If he were on Earth, Wu Rui might not have killed the wild leopard so casually, after all, one less life would be a loss. But here on the undeveloped planet of Osen, the number of fierce beasts was no less than that of humans, and naturally, there was no such concern.

  After a few minutes, Wu Rui finally brought A Niu to the end, and indeed there was a cliff in front of him, with no bottom in sight. The front was like a fairyland, shrouded in mist, covering up the scenery below the cliff. It was a human fairyland, really intoxicating.

  But what Wu Rui had smelled earlier was the fragrance of fruit, which was just below the cliff. When he bent down, he saw a patch of bright red.

  Seeing the red color halfway down the cliff, Wu Rui's eyes also turned red instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhu Guo!"

  Not bad, the fruit fragrance comes from the red dates below!

  Actually, there are also zhū guǒ on Earth now, and some have been planted in the old man's spiritual garden, but they are not of high grade and are scarce. However, on this cliff halfway up, a large area is actually covered with them! Moreover, it's just the season when they're ripe, and from afar, they look like a patch of mature lychees!

  Heavens! This is actually a longan, not a lychee!

  "Ah Niu, just wait for me here!" Wu Rui left a sentence of instruction, then eagerly jumped down.

  "Ah......" Ah Niu was startled at first, but then he saw that Wu Rui's body just floated gently downwards, and only then did he put his heart back in his stomach.

  At this moment, Wu Rui was already standing in mid-air on the cliff, looking at the fiery red ocean in front of him with a bright red face.

  The inferior red fruit tree bears fruit once every ten years, the middle-grade one bears fruit once every hundred years, the top-grade one bears fruit once every thousand years, and the extreme-grade one bears fruit once every ten thousand years. Although the ones in front of us are not of the highest quality, to be precise, most of them are inferior, but some have upgraded to middle-grade, and there is even a sapling of top-grade red fruit tree. Due to its tall stature, it has already matured for some time with over ten bright red fruits on top.

  With a thrill in her heart, Wu Rui cautiously approached that top-grade crimson fruit.

  "Hah!!" However, just as Wu Rui was about to reach for the top-grade crimson fruit, a sudden tearing sound came from in front of him.

  Wu Rui felt a sense of danger at this moment and knew it was the guardian spirit beast of Lingguo, so he slapped out with his palm while rapidly retreating backwards.

  "Slap!" "Hiss!!"

  A snake head the size of a bowl emerged from the stone cave, its scales had solidified and shone brightly like a dragon from afar. However, on top of its head was a missing scale, stained with blood, which was clearly caused by Wu Rui's previous strike.

  The glasses snake, but it's an evolved glasses snake king. Its body is as thick as a bowl, its body is over ten meters long, and its scales shine like phosphorescence, like a dragon. Two dragon-eye-sized eyes shoot out intimidating light. However, due to Wu Rui's attack earlier, the glasses snake king also feels danger, and under its stern gaze, there is a hint of fear.

  "What a formidable Snake King!" Wu Rui was secretly shocked, the strength of this glasses-wearing Snake King was almost on par with that of the Golden Elixir stage, truly formidable.

  But thinking about it, I can understand that there are so many red fruits here, and they are all monopolized by it alone. Don't mention more, just eating one every year will naturally make its strength soar, if there is a cultivation method to match, I believe it has already ascended to the dragon and become immortal!

  However, Wu Rui also had his doubts. Zhu Guo's fire spirit energy was very violent, let alone a pair of glasses snake, even if it were him, he wouldn't dare to take high-quality Zhu Guo casually, otherwise, there would be a great possibility of exploding and dying... Of course, Wu Rui now has the fire spirit pearl, so this aspect is not a concern.

  Could it be that this glasses snake king already possesses spiritual intelligence? Can distinguish which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten.

  A sudden flash of inspiration, Wu Rui suddenly thought of a possibility. Legend has it that there is a kind of spiritual grass that can give animals great wisdom directly, but this is just a legend in the cultivation world. Wu Rui had never seen it before, could it be that there really was spiritual grass nearby?

  Thinking of this, Wu Rui's mind moved and he tried to send a mental message to it, greeting: "Hello, Snake King."
