Lonely Swordsman - C82

Lying horizontally on the equator of the Eastern Hemisphere, with an area of more than 50 million square kilometers, almost 15% of the land area of Clear Sky Star, it was more than 30 times the size of the Great Chen Empire, and was bordering dozens of countries of different sizes. The Great Chen Empire was one of them.

In the fog, the scenery was still unclear, and only dewdrops could be seen on the branches and leaves close by. In the distance, only a hazy silhouette could be seen, mixed together in a blur, and the sky that one looked up at seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze. The faint light of dawn shone, and everything was quiet, as if time had stopped here. Suddenly, the cry of a bird came from an unknown place, and this clear cry woke the world up. The forest suddenly became noisy, and the birds in all four directions also joined in the cry.

In the depths of the forest shrouded in white fog, five figures could be seen walking through the undergrowth with great difficulty. This was the Tianlan Mercenary Company that had come to train in the Savage Forest. Ever since he had accepted the mission at the Royal Mercenary House that day, he had taken the regular flight from Jinling to Nan An and arrived at the northwest border of the Savage Forest. Of course, the flights here were naturally not Earth’s planes. They were large-scale floating flying ships created by refining techniques, using the universal energy crystals as the power source. Of course, this was not something that Chen Jing could understand in a moment.

After the patiently explaining process, Chen Jing finally understood the gist of it. Besides being able to communicate with the energy field in the environment through soul force, a Xiantian martial artist could also establish a connection with the surrounding force field through array formations, thus manipulating the force field to achieve various purposes. Of course, the law of conservation of energy still existed, and therefore communication required energy. This kind of energy was a crystal, and a crystal was the most commonly used energy in the universe.

According to Einstein’s theory, the universe was filled with endless energy. Some of it was in the form of tangible materials, while most of it was in the form of formless energy. What Einstein did not know, however, was that when some material, or energy, existed in a special state, it attracted and gathered the energy around it, which was the reason for the imbalance in energy in the universe. According to the cultivation world’s saying, this special state was a formation, and formations naturally existed as well as man-made ones.

In a special place of array formations, such as the center of array formations or even the twisted nodes of array formations, as time passed, thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years from now, more and more energy would gather. When the energy density exceeded a certain limit, the energy would gradually liquefy and solidify, and the energy of these crystals would become the most commonly used and also the most important energy source in the universe.

As for Chen Jing and the others, they took the flight directly to the northwest border of the Savage Forest, the Bante Town, which was one of the over ten transfer service stations set up by the royal family for the purpose of training the mercenaries in the Savage Forest. It was about 200 kilometers away from the border of the Great Chen Empire and was one of the isolated islands controlled by humans in the Savage Forest.

… … The Tianlan Mercenaries had already left the Bante Town and entered the Savage Forest. (Clear Sky Star had 36 hours a day. They were divided into 12 hours, 12 hours, 24 minutes, and 24 seconds.) In addition, Clear Sky Star had 482 days a year, and there was a huge moon. They were divided into 12 months a month 40 days a month, and then divided into 4 halves, 10 days a day, 10 days a day, 10 days a day, 10 days a day, 10 days a day, 1 hour a day, 20 years a day, 30 years a year, the middle, and 40 years a year a year), but apart from the dense forest filled with brambles, there was also the dense forest of brambles. Other than ordinary wild beasts, Chen Jing and the others had not yet discovered a demon beast, since the difficulty of becoming a demon beast was much greater than becoming a human warrior. Of course, it wasn’t that Chen Jing and the others didn’t have any harvests, but they did pick a few stalks of medicinal herbs over a hundred years old. The biggest harvest was a stalk of Seven Leaf Grass Ganoderma over three hundred years old.

Kacha!” Feng Ziying, who had been opening a path ahead, cut open a vine that was as thick as an arm. He used his saber to brush away the dense foliage in front of him, and suddenly saw a bright light flashing in front of him. He could not help but feel excited as he slashed and hacked with his saber. Chen Jing and the others stepped forward to take a look and discovered that the light was coming from another canyon.

Seeing this, Chen Jing was naturally disappointed. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly turned around to find that the water was carefully observing the other side of the canyon.

“En, Second Brother, what did you find?” Seeing this, Chen Jing asked.

“Big brother, come here quickly. You have good eyesight. Take a look at the tree covered with fruits. Do you see a hint of gold among the leaves on the left side of the tree?” Water Melting said while staring at the other side.

“Okay, let me see.” Chen Jing observed the tree as he spoke. It was a massive, 50-meter-tall tree with lush foliage. Hundreds of green fruits hung from it. However, the fruits were not formed from the tree itself. At the bottom of the tree, a bowl-sized vine meandered upwards. At the top of the tree, dense vines grew out, covering more than half of the top of the tree. The vines were filled with dense fruits. Of course, this wasn’t what he wanted to see, so Chen Jing followed the direction of the water and looked towards the left side of the tree crown. “Brother, I saw a golden fruit the size of a duck egg.”

“Ah, really? Thousand Year Arhat Gold Fruit! “Big brother, we are rich.” After hearing Chen Jing’s confirmation, Aqua Water called out excitedly.

“It’s true, it’s true! Let me see, let me see!” Hearing this, the other three people became excited. They all looked over, but unfortunately, they didn’t have Chen Jing’s eyesight or soul consciousness. They could only see a touch of gold like the water.

“What is the Arhat Golden Fruit?” Chen Jing continued to observe as he asked, “There’s another one on the bottom left. This one is smaller, about the size of a green fruit. And on the right, there’s another one, about the size of a green fruit.”

“Really? Big brother, why can’t I see it?” Baoyu said anxiously at the side.

“Idiot. Big brother only used his divine sense, of course you wouldn’t be able to see.” Jiang Yuhan laughed beside him.

“Brother, is there really that much? “Ah, I’ve struck gold, I’ve struck gold, I’ve struck gold!” Feng Ziying also roared.

“Alright, I’ll go pick it back first. You guys can tell me more about the Arhat Gold Fruit.” With that, Chen Jing got up and flew over. Moments later, he retrieved the three golden fruits.

“Let me see, let me see, ah, it really is the Arhat Golden Fruit!” Seeing that Chen Jing had returned, everyone rushed forward to take a look.

“Alright, fourth brother, you have a larger jade box over there. Take it out and see if you can store it.” Water said when it was almost done.

Jiang Yuhan took out a jade box that was specially used to store spirit fruits from her backpack, and after she peeled the paper inside, she placed the spirit fruit inside.

The Arhat Fruit is a perennial vine. When the Arhat Fruit Tree grows for more than a thousand years, it will produce one or several Arhat Gold Fruits to consume the light energy accumulated by the plant over the years. After that, the plant would continue to slowly accumulate energy. After tens or hundreds of years, when the energy accumulation reaches a certain limit, the Arhat Golden Fruit will be produced again. According to the information, a thousand-year-old Arhat Fruit Tree would produce a Arhat Golden Fruit. Usually, between 20 to 50 years, a fruit would form, but the fruit was relatively small, only half the size of an ordinary fruit. Afterwards, as the tree grows older, the number of fruits and the size of the fruits will gradually increase, and the shape of the fruits will also change towards the Arhat. This is also the origin of the Arhat Gold Fruit’s name, but the interval of the fruits will also naturally increase. If the age of the tree exceeded ten thousand years, then the fruit of the entire tree would be the golden arhat fruit, and the fruits would also become the huge arhat sitting in meditation. Of course, the older the Arhat Fruit Tree, the longer it would accumulate energy, and the higher the quality of the Arhat Gold Fruit would be. Therefore, the water-soluble guessed that the age of this Luohan Fruit must be at least two thousand years old, and it should be over a hundred years old. The quality of the two small fruits should be at the peak of the Second Order, and the big one was definitely a Rank 3 Elixir!

The Arhat Gold Fruit was one of the most precious Spirit Fruits, it contained the purest light energy and was the top grade medicinal herb used to refine the Yuanyang Pellet. To a light attributed warrior, it was definitely a top grade spirit fruit that was hard to find even if one was to spend ten thousand gold.

Of course, they would not sell the Arhat Golden Fruits unless they had no other choice, after all, this kind of treasure could not be bought with money. If it were to be paired with other supplementary materials, it could be used to concoct a dozen or so Tier 2 and a few Peak Tier 3 Yuanyang Pills. Water Dissolution was of the Light Attribute, and was currently at the Earth Grade Initial Phase. If he could obtain these few high quality Yuan Yang Pills, he would definitely be able to advance to the Middle Stage in at most a month. To be able to make an Earth Level warrior directly advance a rank, that was a huge resource! In addition, the precious jade was also of the light attribute. Of course, one could also use it to advance in cultivation. However, the precious jade was still at the Bone Refining stage, so using this sort of top grade pill would be too wasteful. As for Jiang Yuhan and Feng Ziying, they cultivated in yin energy, so light energy was naturally useless to them. Of course, Chen Jing was also light attributed, it was just that he was already a universe level, level 2 or 3 pills wouldn’t be of much use.
