CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: LITTLE ZI BREAKS THROUGH!

Under the golden resplendence of the Bodhi Tree, the surface of the Cyan Stone Pool was shrouded in mystical mist, with rippling waves.

Nangong Luo’s golden tiger body was now completely submerged in the pool rich with Spiritual Qi.

She sat motionless, eyes closed, focusing her mind to run her cultivation technique, greedily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

As Nangong Luo continued her inhalation and exhalation, the surrounding spiritual mist slowly flowed towards the Cyan Stone Pool, forming a small spiritual qi vortex above it, spinning continuously.

The surging spiritual qi entered her body, like rain after a long drought, nourishing the tiger body, and was refined into strands of spiritual power, coursing through her entire body’s meridians, ultimately gathering together.

Nangong Luo’s cultivation thus slowly advanced, and her aura underwent a significant transformation.

At this moment, Little Zi was lying on top of Nangong Luo’s head, enjoying the Bodhi Golden Light falling upon him, with a face full of comfort and contentment.

The Bodhi Golden Light, after being scattered by the spiritual mist, transformed into strands and scattered on the patches of purple scales.

The golden light fused with the purple, and at that moment the scales suddenly became lively, the purple and gold colors undulating like flowing water.

The purple and gold light flowed continuously, very dazzling, making the little beast look extremely extraordinary.

After spending so many days together, the relationship between Little Zi and Nangong Luo had evolved from unfamiliarity upon their first meeting to extreme familiarity.

Initially, Little Zi only recognized Jiang Che as its master and avoided Nangong Luo, keeping a distance and not interacting at all.

Until, Nangong Luo presented a piece of Spirit Fruit.

This little foodie’s eyes lit up instantly, and his favorable impression of Nangong Luo soared, and as time went, they became familiar with each other.

Sometimes, when Little Zi felt bored staying next to Jiang Che, he would run over to Nangong Luo’s side.

The sound of heavy footsteps came.

A majestic tiger slowly walked out from the spiritual mist and stopped in front of the Cyan Stone Pool.

At this moment, before Jiang Che, a stable purple Thunder Ball was suspended, inside which floated a heap of brilliantly glowing spirit fruits.

These spirit fruits were of varied colors and diverse types.

As the Thunder Ball dissipated, the spirit fruits all fell to the ground.

Jiang Che gently pushed with his tiger paw, moving the scattered spirit fruits onto the Qing Shi beside him, gathering them together.

After finishing, he glanced at the pool where Nangong Luo and Little Zi were, then turned away and lay down not far away, closing his eyes to rest.

These days, besides sleeping, Jiang Che was busy collecting Spirit Fruit for Nangong Luo and Little Zi.

Although the Peach Grove contained a plentiful amount of Spiritual Peaches, enough for them to eat for a while.

But spiritual peaches don’t grow back instantly after being eaten up, there will eventually come a day when they’re all gone.

And sitting back and consuming everything was unwise.

Thus, Jiang Che had a sudden inspiration, deciding to gather more Spirit Fruit.

Perfectly, Changbai Mountain was originally a Spiritual Land, further influenced by the Bodhi Holy Tree, its Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi dense, with extraordinary creations, producing a great many spiritual medicines.

With such good things right before his eyes, there was naturally no reason not to take them.

Thus, Jiang Che frequently left the valley these days, wandering everywhere.

He wandered deep through Changbai Mountain, very fortunately encountering some "hospitable" fierce beasts.

From their hands, he acquired quite a few free Spirit Fruits.

Including these spirit fruits and spiritual peaches, Jiang Che prepared a portion every day for Nangong Luo and Little Zi’s cultivation.

After all, to enable the little sister and Little Zi to quickly break through, these Spirit Fruits were essential.

And as long as they break through, Jiang Che could receive tenfold feedback and enhance his strength again.

Jiang Che now had a deep urgency in his heart for an enhancement in strength.

Feeling anxious inside.

Throughout this journey, Jiang Che had long understood a truth.

Strength is everything!

In such a grand upheaval, a chaotic world, without strength, you were just a piece of meat in someone else’s mouth, to be eaten whenever they desired.

Only by having immense strength can one roam unrestrained and live freely.

Just like the Bodhi Holy Tree, the Giant Ape Race, although they obtained such a precious thing.

Unfortunately lacking strength, they couldn’t protect it, and wasn’t it snatched away by Jiang Che?

Let alone how many fierce beasts Jiang Che had slain along the way and how many Spirit Fruits he seized from them.

All of this was because he was at Tier Two, the strongest in power.

Jiang Che constantly reminded himself that he was just a step ahead.

With Spiritual Energy Revival, opportunities abound on this land, the fierce beasts living here couldn’t always remain at Tier One.

It was only a matter of time before beasts broke into Tier Two!

What Jiang Che needed to do was to quickly enhance his strength and advance to Tier Three.

In this way, he could continually maintain an overwhelming advantage.

As the sun set behind the western mountains, the time gradually reached evening.

The golden sunset and the Bodhi Holy Tree’s golden light together dyed the mystical mist in the depths of the valley golden, looking extremely magnificent.

Nangong Luo slowly opened her eyes, ending this session of cultivation.

These days, Nangong Luo wished there were twenty-four hours a day to keep cultivating continuously.

This place was a cultivation treasure land, with rich spiritual qi, both precious and rare.

Her gaze swept around.

At first glance, she noticed a pile of spirit fruits by the Cyan Stone Pool.

Besides the spiritual peaches, there were quite a few other Spirit Fruits and spiritual medicines.

Little Zi was now lying nearby, squinting with a smile, happily munching on a spiritual peach.

Nangong Luo’s gaze remained calm.

"No need to think, this must have been done by Big Brother!"

During this period, Big Brother would always leave the valley and return with numerous Spirit Fruits.

"Big Brother is always like this, finding Spirit Fruits but not eating any himself, giving them all to me and Little Zi!"

Nangong Luo lamented in her heart, feeling that her Big Brother was too good to her, too generous.

In her previous life, she witnessed countless times where humans killed each other over a piece of Spirit Fruit, fighting to the death.

And now looking back at Big Brother, he gave away all obtained Spirit Fruits.

Nangong Luo had refused before, wishing Big Brother would keep some for himself.

But it seemed of no use, her Big Brother was unyielding, unmoved by Spirit Fruits, insisting to leave them all for the two of them...

"Big Brother, I won’t disappoint you! Once I rise in this chaotic world, I will definitely repay your kindness!"

Nangong Luo looked at Jiang Che, napping not far away, feeling touched, her gaze extremely determined.

"Little Sister, your effort to break through is the greatest return to Big Brother!"

Jiang Che lay on the ground, his eyelids moved, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Moments later.

"Chirp!"

Little Zi flopped on the Qing Shi, lying sprawled out, with his little belly stuffed with three big spiritual peaches, round and bulging, letting out a distressed sound.

Nangong Luo, looking at Little Zi’s state, felt an amused laugh in her heart.

"This fellow is truly greedy... Huh? What’s this..."

Suddenly, purple light erupted from Little Zi’s body, growing stronger and starting to shine brightly.

It appeared like a purple ball of light, enveloping Little Zi within.

Little Zi’s aura was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, stopping only after breaking through a limit.

The purple light gradually faded, revealing Little Zi inside with eyes tightly shut.
