“Mm.”
Xu Taiping followed the words and pulled off a pod from the bean stalk, and then carefully opened it with his hand.
“Fairy, what is this？”
After the pod was opened, Xu Taiping saw that it was not beans, but crystal beads exuding a crystal-clear luster.
“These are spirit crystals, the crystallization of the spiritual energy contained in this land. In the future, when you practice, you can hold one in your mouth and cooperate with the prescription I gave you. Even a skeleton can quickly practice.”
Fairy Lingyue said very confidently.
“Really？”
Xu Taiping couldn’t help but blurt out.
“It’s not really a difficult thing for ordinary bones to practice. It’s just that you are located on this continent, and many cultivation inheritances have already been cut off, resulting in the situation where ordinary bones cannot practice.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded disapprovingly, and then continued to say：
“Among the treasures gestated by the Earth Store Fruit, this spirit crystal is actually the lowest grade. It’s just that this land is too barren, so it can only gestate treasures of this grade. Even if it is allowed to grow for a longer period of time, it can only make the grade of the gestated spirit crystal better and cannot gestate a real magic weapon with magical powers.”
After hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully and then asked again, “If I plant this seed on the Seven Peaks, can it gestate the magic weapon with magical powers that the fairy mentioned？”
You understand at once. If this self were not a wisp of remnant soul, I would want to accept you as a disciple.
This Xu Taiping, the more Fairy Lingyue looked at him, the more she liked him.
Xu Taiping was a little embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head awkwardly.
“However, if you want the Earth Store Fruit to bear more powerful treasures, in addition to planting the seed on the Seven Peaks where the spiritual energy is more abundant, there is one more thing that you and I need to do.”
Fairy Lingyue said again at this time.
“Which thing？”
Xu Taiping hurriedly asked.
“Taiping, you first pick the remaining two pods on the bean stalk and then peel them and hold them in your palm.”
Fairy Lingyue didn’t rush to explain but pointed to the remaining two green pods on the bean stalk.
“Okay.”
After choosing to believe in Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping became extremely decisive in doing things. He did not hesitate to pick the two pods and peel them open.
After peeling the two pods, Xu Taiping discovered that, as the current Fairy Lingyue had said, these two pods also contained grains of spiritual crystals that resembled soybeans.
“Fairy.”
Xu Taiping put away his few soybean spiritual crystals, and then held up the remaining few and handed them to the shadow of Fairy Lingyue.
He would not take a single one that he had promised to others, and he would not give an extra one that belonged to him.
This scene made Fairy Lingyue nod secretly.
She once again secretly praised in her heart：
“At such a young age, he is cautious in doing things but not afraid of them. He is even more straightforward and free and easy when doing things. He is indeed one of us.”
However, she did not say this to Xu Taiping. She just nodded to him and then opened her mouth and sucked in the few soybean spiritual crystals in Xu Taiping’s hand.
“Sizzle…”
Accompanied by a slight sucking sound, Xu Taiping only saw that the seven or eight soybean spiritual crystals in his palm instantly turned into wisps of purple qi, like a river converging into the sea, and were sucked into the mouth of the shadow of Fairy Lingyue.
And after the Spirit Moon Fairy absorbed the purple qi transformed by these several soy bean spirit crystals, Xu Taiping clearly felt that her figure had become much clearer and no longer swayed with the wind like the mist.
“Thank you, little friend Taiping, for prolonging my life.”
The Spirit Moon Fairy did not stint on her words of gratitude.
“The fairy doesn’t need to be polite. This is a deal between you and me.”
Xu Taiping had a composed look and shook his head calmly.
“That’s right.”
The Spirit Moon Fairy nodded in agreement, and then pointed to the bean stalk below and said：
“Look at what changes this bean stalk has.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping lowered his head to look and was very surprised to find that the bean plant that was just full of vitality had now completely withered and was like a wild grass.
“Fairy, this bean plant has withered. How should we obtain the seeds？”
Although Xu Taiping was a little surprised, he wasn’t scared to the point of being shocked because he knew that the fairy in front of him must have a way.
“Regarding this issue.”
The Spirit Moon Fairy smiled.
“It is the second thing I just told you that you need to do.”
She continued to speak.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately showed a respectful listening appearance, and his eyes seriously stared at the Spirit Moon Fairy in front of him.
The Spirit Moon Fairy didn’t keep it a secret either. She directly informed Xu Taiping：
“Every time the Earth Store Fruit bears fruit, when all the fruits are picked, it will wither on its own. Even if we wait until the next year, it won’t bear fruit again.”
“To make it bear fruit again, we must use the Rootless Fire to burn this withered plant. When it is completely burned to ashes, its seeds will grow in the ashes. So we all call this step ‘Burning the Seeds’. ”
Lingyue’s answer undoubtedly surprised Xu Taiping again.
However, more than the surprise in his heart, what he cared more about was something the Spirit Moon Fairy mentioned – the Rootless Fire.
“Fairy, what is the Rootless Fire？”
Xu Taiping asked.
The Spirit Moon Fairy seemed to be waiting for Xu Taiping to ask, so after hearing his question, she showed a gratified smile again and then explained：
“The so-called Rootless Fire, as the name implies, is a kind of flame that doesn’t need to be ignited with the help of foreign objects.”
“There are two kinds of Rootless Fire. One is born in nature, and the other is refined by cultivators with true qi and techniques. We call it True Fire.”
“The Rootless Fire born in nature is also called Spirit Fire. Such a divine thing can be encountered but not sought.”
“So the only rootless fire you can find is the true fire refined by cultivators. And the true fire refined by cultivators is often stored in magic treasures and talismans.”
If it was just to explain the rootless fire, Fairy Lingyue naturally wouldn’t need to explain it so carefully. Obviously, her words were meant to guide Xu Taiping’s cultivation.
“Thank you, Fairy, for your guidance.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping felt that he had benefited a lot and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
“So, Fairy, you want me to look for the talisman that stores the true fire, right？”
He then confirmed with Fairy Lingyue.
“That’s right.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded with a smile.
“Although the true fire talisman is not a rare thing, and the first incineration of the Earth Store Fruit doesn’t require a true fire of high grade, with your current situation, you probably don’t have the money to buy it. So you can either refine the true fire yourself when your cultivation achieves success, or work hard to manage this medicinal garden and exchange for it when you earn enough merit rewards. There is no need to rush for a while.”
Fairy Lingyue suggested to Xu Taiping.
“Fairy, don’t worry. I will work hard to cultivate and also work hard to manage this half-mu medicinal garden, and strive to obtain the true fire for incinerating the seeds as soon as possible.”
Xu Taiping nodded seriously.
