Chapter 662 - 662 Dragon-Patterned Carp
Nonetheless, even for Qilin, her Heavenly Tribulation only lasted for 15 days. It was similar for the rest of the geniuses.
The longest one was still within 25 days.
On the other hand, Lin Mo’s Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a month, which was the longest Qilin had ever heard of.
“Oh right, this is for you. You can break through after eating it.”
Qilin handed over a scale-covered fruit, and a strong bloody smell emerged.
The smell made Lin Mo’s head sink, and he almost fainted.
“What kind of fruit is this?” He had never seen it before, but the power it contained was extremely terrifying.
“I don’t know. The smell of blood is too strong, so I can’t eat it. You can have it.”
Qilin spread out her hands. This was something she obtained after transcending her tribulation. A divine forest was nurtured within the tribulation clouds.
After she passed her tribulation, she entered the forest and picked one.
The next moment, the tribulation clouds moved violently and chased her out. The forest completely dissipated after that.
Qilin was regretful because there were many fragrant divine fruits in the divine forest.
If she could only pick one, then she would have suffered a great loss. She had picked one that could not be eaten.
“I’ll take a look first.” Lin Mo stored the scale-covered fruit in the system space.
[Snake Scale Fruit, a heaven-grade tier 9 divine fruit. It can purify the bloodline of a snake-type demonic beast and increase one’s cultivation. If eaten by a non-snake demonic beast, it can increase less than 20% of the power of their bloodline.]
This was a heaven-grade tier 9 divine fruit, but its effects were not suitable for Lin Mo and Qilin.
“This is a Snake Scale Fruit. It can only be eaten by a snake-type demonic beast. It’s not very useful for us to eat it. It’ll be a waste.”
Lin Mo shook his head and sighed, reprimanding the little girl for not observing properly. She had taken a useless reward from her Heavenly Tribulation.
“How could it be…?” Qilin was dejected as she sat on the rock, filled with regret.
“Learn your lesson. Don’t be greedy in the future.”
Lin Mo patted Qilin’s head and comforted her.
Even so, it was also at this moment that he felt the spiritual Qi in Qilin’s body that was as vigorous as the ocean.
“You… The fifth level of the Almighty realm?”
Looking at Qilin’s realm, Lin Mo’s mouth was wide open in shock.
He did not expect the rebound to be so fierce. Qilin directly reached the fifth level after the tribulation…
“Hehe, I’ve eaten so many divine medicines and elixirs. It’s normal for me to reach this realm.”
Qilin smiled and was very proud.
Lin Mo was speechless. ‘So this is how it is. The others must be the same. They must’ve gained more than me.’
He handed Qilin a few spirit fruits, and Qilin happily took them and ate them like normal fruits.
Lin Mo then began to check his physical body and found that it had become abnormally strong.
Other than that, there was nothing strange about his body. His meridians were stable, and his flesh and blood were very active.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the runes on his bones had disappeared.
He clearly remembered that the Kun Peng’s arts were engraved on them, which was also why his physical body was so strong.
‘Do I need immortal Qi? Or a similar great opportunity?’
Lin Mo was puzzled. He had a feeling that some kind of treasure was being hidden, but he could not find it at the moment.
‘Well, it’s on me anyway.. I’ll think about it next time…’
If Lin Mo could not find it, then he would not. He brought Qilin out of the mountain and fed her the Immortal Dew in a jar.
Even with Qilin’s physique, she could only drink two or three mouthfuls.
She had obtained many benefits from her tribulation, and this Immortal Dew was just to make up for her regret of not being able to eat the Snake Scale Fruit.
“This is good. I feel like my soul has sublimated.”
Qilin was extremely satisfied. The Immortal Dew was too delicious. It cleansed everything, and the feeling of her soul subliming was wonderful.
It was a pity that she could not drink too much of it, or she would explode and die.
“The universe’s spiritual Qi is gathering. There must be a supreme treasure forming nearby.”
As Lin Mo walked, he felt the changes in the surrounding spiritual Qi and guessed that there must be a treasure nearby.
At the end of his vision, there was an auspicious Qi rising from the ground, and the spiritual Qi of the universe was moving rhythmically.
He and Qilin strolled along the direction of the universe’s spiritual Qi and finally arrived at a valley. The stone walls around them were as smooth as jade and emitted a precious light.
In the middle of the valley, there was a divine spring that overflowed with light. Divine multicolored light filled the sky, showing endless auspicious signs.
“A pot of water from this divine spring is equivalent to an elixir of earth-grade tier 9…” Lin Mo was shocked.
“Who are you? How dare you come here to steal the treasure?”
“Hmph, there are only the two of you, and you dare to fight for the treasure here? Are you tired of living?”
In the valley, a group of people confronted Lin Mo and Qilin. When those people saw Lin Mo and Qilin walk in, they all pointed their spears at them.
There were more than 30 people here, and they were divided into three groups of forces. Under the three forces, no one dared to act rashly.
Lin Mo did not respond. He looked at the divine spring.
...
He found some water plants swaying in the clear spring water. They were just ordinary water plants, but they were of spirit grade tier 9.
Despite that, those were not worth his time. What was truly valuable was the creature swimming in the spring water.
It was a golden, slender fish that was two meters long. Its scales were golden with a tinge of white. It swam in the water, and Lin Mo was in a daze.
He had a premonition that it was not a fish, but a True Dragon…
“Am I mistaken…?”
Lin Mo shook his head. It was clearly a fish. If it was a True Dragon, these people would not be so calm.
“Go away. You’re just two rogue cultivators. How dare you lay your hands on the Dragon-patterned Carp?” Someone on the side shouted.
Two of the young men had lost their patience. They released their auras and intended to scare Lin Mo and Qilin away.
“What’s a Dragon-patterned Carp?” Qilin asked curiously.
She drooled as she looked at the fish in the spring water. Its name had the word ‘dragon’ in it. If it was made into soup with the divine spring, it would probably be tasty…
“The Dragon-patterned Carp is a rare treasure in the world. Its meat is fresh and tender, and it is best used to make soup. If it is paired with divine medicine, it can maximize the effects of the divine medicine. It is a delicacy passed down from ancient times.
...
“It is said that in ancient times, there was a dish related to the Dragon-patterned Carp, the Emerald Dragon Carp. It is known to be the most delicious food in the world…”
Lin Mo explained the Dragon-patterned Carp in detail.
He could not help but drool at the end, let alone Qilin the foodie.
“Wow, it’d be a crime to miss such a delicacy…” Qilin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Her guess was right. The creature was edible, and there was a special recipe for it.
“Don’t think about it. We don’t have the recipe for the Emerald Dragon Carp, so we can’t make it. We can only make soup.”
Lin Mo felt a little regretful. If it were not for the harsh conditions of raising a Dragon-patterned Carp, he would be a little reluctant.
“It’s such a pity…” Qilin felt very regretful.
At the same time, she swore to herself that he would collect all the recipes in the world and not miss anything next time…
“Hey, you two, don’t go too far!”
An angry voice interrupted the conversation between Lin Mo and Qilin.
The 30 over people present were all furious, and their eyes were fixed on them.
This was a Dragon-patterned Carp, a rare treasure in the world. When used in conjunction with divine medicine, it could double the medicinal effects of the divine medicine.
However, Lin Mo and Qilin seemed to be focusing on different things…
