Chapter 88: Jia Lan Temple
"I was about to tell Master Luo about this. On my recent return home, my father spent a fortune to purchase an unusual vermilion fruit from a foreign merchant. He claims it’s a great nourishment. After consuming it, the Yang Gang Qi inside my body greatly increased, and I’m close to reaching the state of Perfection.” A chill ran down Shen Luo’s spine, and he muttered under his breath that it’s finally happening. However, he showed an excited look.
As he spoke, a strong red light emanated from his body.
Luo Daoist wanted to reach out to sense the condition inside Shen Luo’s body. But seeing the red light on him, he lowered his hand, carefully observed the red light, and showed a surprised expression.
"Master Luo, once my Small Transformation Yang Skill is fully cultivated, I entrust the Pure Yang Sword Technique matter to you.” Shen Luo noticed Luo Daoist’s movements and quietly heaved a sigh of relief, but spoke as such.
"I’ve promised you, naturally I won’t go back on my word. But what type of Vermillion Fruit did you consume?” Luo Daoist stared at Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo had prepared a suitable response long ago and described a mysterious fruit that was oval, fiery red throughout, and had fiery patterns on its surface.
The description of the vermilion fruit wasn’t entirely fabricated by him. It was based on a spiritual fruit he had read about in a book named “Fire Origin Fruit” which was known to have the effect of strengthening foundations and fostering vitality.
However, he didn’t entirely describe it as Fire Origin Fruit either. He made some changes with 70% truth and 30% lies, so that Luo Daoist wouldn’t think he was lying and would be unable to confirm whether it was the Fire Origin Fruit therefore not seeing any inconsistencies.
"Based on your description, the fruit you ate could possibly be Fire Origin Fruit or even a different species. However, I can’t confirm it. Either way, you are quite lucky. It must be your destiny,” Luo Daoist remarked with surprise.
