Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

If the Green-scaled Python had been cautious from the start, with its defensive power, Lin Chen wouldn't have had the chance to injure it, let alone kill it; he might have even been in significant danger himself.

However, Lin Chen managed to kill it, which means the Green-scaled Fruit is now his!

Lin Chen set to work collecting all the materials from the Green-scaled Python, especially its snake skin, enough to make several pieces of armor.

After collecting everything, Lin Chen looked toward the cave's emerald-green Green-scaled Fruit, scanned the surroundings, and once he confirmed there was no danger, he walked straight to the Green-scaled Fruit.

On the tree in front of him were five Green-scaled Fruits, all glowing emerald-green. Three had a yellow line down the middle; Lin Chen knew that those with a yellow line in the middle were mature and ready for picking.

He picked the three mature Green-scaled Fruits, then thought to himself:

"The remaining two Green-scaled Fruits are also valuable, I can't let them go. They seem to be maturing in three or four days. I might as well wait; after all, the task's deadline can be met."

Having decided, Lin Chen looked at the Green-scaled Fruit in his hand; its appearance was smooth like an apple, but nearly transparent, revealing the emerald-green juice inside.

After looking around, Lin Chen thought:

"The task only requires one Green-scaled Fruit; I don't plan to sell the others, I'll use them myself."

With a plan in mind, Lin Chen walked straight to a clean spot inside the cave behind the Green-scaled Fruit tree, sat cross-legged, and took out a Divine Crystal from his Storage Ring to begin training.

As time passed slowly, Lin Chen's aura gradually stabilized, and the minor injuries he sustained previously were recovering. Under Xiaolian's devouring force, his vitality restored quickly, and his strength slightly improved.

"Ah, my vitality is fully restored, and my strength has reached the mid-phase of the third Divine Scholar tier."

Feeling his state, Lin Chen flipped his palm and took out a Green-scaled Fruit.

"Green-scaled Fruit, able to refine the body for training, expand meridians, and enhance cultivation, let's see if it's as miraculous as legends say."

With that, Lin Chen didn't hesitate and gently bit into the Green-scaled Fruit, allowing its emerald-green juice to enter his stomach.

As soon as the emerald-green liquid entered his body, Lin Chen immediately sensed a gentle power flowing through his meridians. But before he could absorb it, his Dantian suddenly stirred, and Xiaolian also sensed the power of the Green-scaled Fruit, awoke abruptly from her normal slumber, and Lin Chen felt a suction force. Within mere dozens of breaths, the emerald-green energy was completely absorbed!

Lin Chen, surprised by the situation, quickly checked Xiaolian, finding that she was not uncomfortable but seemed more vibrant, and even transmitted a Divine Sense to Lin Chen, indicating she wanted more of the Green-scaled Fruit's energy.

Lin Chen was a bit speechless; the Green-scaled Fruit meant to strengthen him was consumed by Xiaolian as if drinking water, making him feel a bit distressed. But then he thought, Xiaolian is part of him, and if she grows stronger, it's equivalent to his own strength increasing. With this thought, Lin Chen felt a bit better.

"Alright! Since you want it, let's see how much you can absorb!"

With that, Lin Chen took out the remaining two Green-scaled Fruits, and following the same process, they were absorbed by Xiaolian.

After absorbing the energy from three Green-scaled Fruits, Xiaolian appeared satisfied, with her tiny body emitting an emerald-green glow.

"That's it? Your aura hasn't strengthened at all?"

Lin Chen felt a bit depressed; after Xiaolian absorbed the essence of these three Green-scaled Fruits, it felt as if they had vanished into thin air. Although Xiaolian's condition looked great, her aura hadn't strengthened.

Just as he was feeling down, Xiaolian's aura suddenly surged, and emerald-green light began emanating from her body, blending into Lin Chen's body.

As this power flowed into Lin Chen's limbs, bones, and major meridians, Lin Chen instantly realized that the Green-scaled Fruit essence refined by Xiaolian was far superior to that which he could refine himself!

Though he had never consumed Green-scaled Fruit essence, this seamless integration without any body rejection was beyond the capability of low-level treasures.

Lin Chen distinctly sensed his vitality circulating more smoothly, his meridians becoming broader and sturdier, and his cultivation reaching the peak of the third Divine Scholar tier. If he had another Green-scaled Fruit, he was sure he could break through to the fourth tier!

Despite his desire, the two remaining Green-scaled Fruits weren't mature, and rising in cultivation too rapidly wouldn't be beneficial. His meridians and training aptitude improved, which was the true benefit of the Green-scaled Fruit.

Lin Chen stood up, his vitality circulating throughout his body, adapting to the new power. As he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something flash behind him.

He furrowed his brows with thought but couldn't resist his curiosity and proceeded deeper into the cave.

Upon entering further, Lin Chen realized the cave was vast and complex, having passed several junctions already, yet another crossroad lay before him.

Though marks were left along the way, Lin Chen still felt uncertain about these seemingly endless forks.

At that moment, Lin Chen suddenly noticed something flash, turning to see a silhouette seated against a nearby wall.

Lin Chen's heart tightened, but after probing with Divine Sense, he relaxed.

"Ah, it's just a skeleton; I wonder why it's here in the cave."

Curious about the skeleton's presence, Lin Chen walked over and crouched beside it.

The clothing on this skeleton had turned to strips, likely to disintegrate into powder with a breeze, yet the bones exhibited no sign of decay, merely covered in dust.

What drew Lin Chen's attention most was the ring on the left finger bone of the skeleton; with his keen eyes, he recognized it as a high-grade Storage Ring!

A Storage Ring from a mysterious powerful figure? I wonder what's inside!
