The Spiritual Fruits Strengthened the Body
Was there a choice?
No!
From the moment the lady had a showdown with Luke, he knew that he had no choice.
Who could refuse Miss Juel and get out of here alive after learning of her wild hopes?
Fortunately, the conditions offered by Flora were relatively lenient, not to mention the secret provision of spells, the monthly salary was also in accordance with the level of the hangers-on. All these resources were directly given by the lady instead of going through the Juel family's accounts.
In addition to the identity nameplate that was used to save his life when he had to, he was still an ordinary servant of the Juel family outwardly.
Out of the basement, Luke had several secrets of spells in his mind, and at the same time he had two thumb-sized stones in his hand, glittering and translucent but emitting amazing spiritual energy.
The inferior spiritual stone contained rich spiritual energy, from which cultivators could directly absorb spiritual energy to supplement themselves. The market price was 200 spiritual coins.
"There are altogether three small spirit gathering arrays in my family, which can gather the spiritual energy in the residence and slightly improve the cultivator's cultivation progress. One of the arrays is here. I have to receive guests today. You can practice here until tomorrow morning, and it will not be convenient for you to come after tomorrow." Speaking of which, Flora paused, then said "Cherish it well" and went out.
The gate was closed!
Luke was stunned in situ for a long time, a little depressed:
Although it was said that the master teached the trade, but apprentice's skill was self-made, she was not so irresponsible!
However, at the thought of the several secrets of spells handed over to him by the lady, he felt a raging fire mounting up within his heart burst into flames again.
The Juel family held the only free auction market for a thousand miles around. Most of the spells obtained from ruins and down-and-out cultivators circulated from here, and the stock was amazing.
Although most of them were incomplete and useless, which were of little or no value, there were also some good secrets left.
Flora supported a newcomer for the first time and made a real effort. She took out all the secrets of spells that she thought were useful and let Luke choose.
Most of these were spells that have been heard before:
"Water Control Art", "Fire Control Art", "Tongue and Sword Art", "Fireball Art", "Ice Art", "Fire Separation Art", "Rain Distribution Art", "Activation Art"...
They were all the most basic secrets of spells, not of high grade and relatively easy to master.
If an ordinary person saw so many secrets of spells, he would definitely choose offensive spells to strengthen himself, but after thinking about it, Luke found that the most useless ones were offensive spells.
The Juel family had a exalted position in the Violet Cloud Town. No one dared to look for trouble in their place. Moreover, even if he practiced these spells, he could not surpass Sam and other hangers-on of the Juel family in a short period of time.
"Although it sounds good that the lady said she would support me unconditionally, the resources cannot be shifted away towards me too much. Once I don't show the corresponding value in a short period of time, I'm afraid the lady's enthusiasm will be shaken. Therefore... I must make my existence prominent and prove the correctness of her support for me."
For this reason, Luke did not hesitate to choose "Water Control Art", "Rain Distribution Art" and "Activation Art, and finally symbolically chose an offensive art, the "Tongue and Sword Art".
Spiritual energy bred swords, which could reach as far as 10 feet when he opened his mouth to spit. The longer he accumulated his energy, the greater his power was.
"Let's start cultivating."
Luke sat down and decided to start with the "Water Control Art" that Elena had mastered. Even Elena and the other maids could easily master it, which should be very good for getting started.
He held the breath and concentrated.
To put it bluntly, it was to operate according to the formula of the spells, empty the mind, get rid of distractions, and then gather and control spiritual energy with the sense.
To do two things at one time!
It was easy.
Almost all young people on earth could do this.
Listening to songs while doing homework or doing something else, and the two did not interfere with each other.
"It's very simple."
Luke recited the formula silently, emptied his mind, and he soon realized that a force appeared around his body out of thin air, which became clearer and clearer, and its connection with him became closer and closer... Even if he did not open his eyes, he could still see clouds of water elements rapidly floating and piecing together into an increasingly large sphere.
Did it work?
Hey, the volume of this water ball seemed to be larger than that of Elena.
"Is it because of the spirit gathering array?"
Luke's face lit up, he was excited while he vaguely guessed the reason why it went so smoothly .
"It's strange."
"Elena clearly felt very laborious and consumed a lot after casting the spell once. Why don't I feel this way?"
Luke thought strangely that he could only attribute it to the spirit gathering array.
This was indeed the case...
The spirit gathering array itself could gather a certain amount of spiritual energy nearby, when people cast spells in the array, especially a basic art with very low consumption of spiritual energy, they consumed and absorbed spiritual energy at the same time. There was almost no consumption with the increase and decrease, so he did not feel any difficulty.
Luke was a paranoid.
Since he began to practice, he must practice until he mastered it skillfully!
Seeing a pot of small spiritual fruit tree in the room, he instantly held the water ball and imitated the movements of Elena, watered the leaves one by one slowly.
On the one hand, spiritual energy kept losing;
On the other hand, the spirit gathering array continuously injected spiritual energy into the body to supplement losses.
He didn't feel the burden at all.
Luke was quickly immersed in the subtle control of the "Water Control Art", as if he felt everything under his hands through a microscope, clearly felt the joy of every drop of water element, and felt the delightful stretching and growth of the spiritual fruit tree after being watered...
Interesting!
Luke's face showed a look of joy.
In addition, he was very interested in plants and fruits from an early age, and helped his parents as a fruit vendor for several years, he was soon immersed in the joy of helping the spiritual fruit tree grow.
The spirit gathering array provided spiritual energy continuously!
Luke did not notice that each time the water ball in his hands separated a part to water the leaves and trunks, the missing part was quickly supplemented by the spirit gathering array and restored to its full volume.
Luke was not aware of this abnormal situation and continued to urge the growth of spiritual tree tree.
A few minutes later.
A small flower bud blossom appeared on the spiritual fruit tree.
Luke's eyes brightened, he was even more delighted. He knew that spiritual fruit tree was about to enter its mature period and he worked harder now.
Time went by bit by bit...
As flower buds covered the branches one after another, Luke's waist and legs went numb slightly before he noticed that a long time had passed.
"It turns out that the spirit gathering array has this function?"
Luke saw the water ball in his hands was still the size as when the spell was just cast. His eyebrows puckered slightly but soon relaxed, and he continued to devote himself to the growing of the spiritual fruit tree.
He had come this far, so he couldn't retreat at this time!
For paranoid people, although it was quite a waste of time, there would always be a clutter in their mind if they did not complete the whole process.
Cultivation was all about a mind free of distractions. Naturally, one must start well and finish well!
Go on!
More than an hour passed, the spiritual fruit tree grew a small circle stronger, and the first green fruit slowly turned from green to pink...
"Almost there, almost there!"
And the second one, the third one...
Luke completely forgot the time and tirelessly continued to water the spiritual fruit tree and stimulate the growth of spiritual fruits. He watched one fruit after another turn from green to red, which was giving off a faint fresh and sweet smell.
For the first time, he saw full fresh spiritual fruits hanging all over the branches, and his mouth watered unconsciously.
"I helped the growth of the spiritual fruits. It should not be a big problem for me to eat this pot of fruits."
Seeing the last fruit completely turned red and the fragrant spiritual fruits were heavily pressing down on the spiritual fruit tree, Luke could not help swallowing saliva and stretched out his hand to pick one.
"Huh?"
"This fruit is quite full."
Luke realized for a time that the spiritual fruit was bigger and heavier than the ones he usually saw in the market, but didn't think much of it. He stuffed the whole fruit into his mouth, chewed it in silence, and his mouth was filled with fragrance.
"Woo!"
"Delicious!"
Luke felt his whole mind became cool and refreshing, but his body was warm, much like the feeling of "cool head and warm feet" described in the medical arts.
He heard and saw clearly, and had clear thinking;
The soreness of the waist and legs caused by continuous working for several hours had dissipated and was replaced by endless warmth and comfort.
Cool!!
Once you tasted delicacy, you would like to try it again. Luke picked another fruit and put it into his mouth. His whole body remained warm...
Luke did not find that a trace of black impurities was secreted from the pores on his skin, which was completely decomposed by the effect attached to the spirit gathering array in the room as soon as they came out.
If the people of the Juel family were here, they would certainly find that the spiritual fruit tree that came from the last auction had already blossomed and yielded fruits impressively, and had officially reached the age of 500, producing even better "essential spiritual fruits".
The "essential spiritual fruits" could only appear in a sect and had the effect of raising the upper limit of cultivators' energy and strengthening their physique. In addition, the value of the first batch of essential spiritual fruits was even more immeasurable-because in order to break through the 500-year period and completely change the quality, the first batch of essential spiritual fruits would contain several times the spiritual energy of ordinary "essential spiritual fruits".
On the market, an ordinary 'essential spiritual fruit' was worth 10 inferior spiritual stones, and a 'essential spiritual fruit' of the first batch was worth 50 inferior spiritual stones.
Even a cultivator could reap considerable benefits by eating an essential spiritual fruit, not to mention Luke, who had only come into contact with the way of cultivation.
Flora was kind of unlucky, the 500-year-old spiritual fruit tree, which had been carefully cultivated for several years and had not blossomed and borne fruit, was stimulated to bear fruits by the paranoia Luke in a muddle-headed way. Moreover, all fruits were eaten up without mercy. His physique was immediately greatly improved, the impurities in the body were removed, and the upper limit of energy reached the level of the peak of second-grade cultivators at one stroke.
Naturally, Luke did not know this. He just thought the fruits tasted good, but he was not full. On the contrary, he felt hungrier and hungrier.
In fact, it was an illusion brought by the enhanced carrying capacity of his body after the impurities were removed from his body.
After eating more than 40 essential spiritual fruits in one breath, Luke vaguely noticed something was wrong with his body!
He was light on his feet and even heard the maids talking in a low voice in the garden hundreds of meters away.
"Elena, your brother Luke hasn't come out of the lady's room yet."
"Yes."
"Strangely enough, the lady never recruits male servants, why is she suddenly so interested in your brother Luke? And she even left him in the room for half a day... does he serves the 500-year-old spiritual fruit tree bought from the auction?"
"How is that possible? He is only a mortal."
Hearing this, Luke sweat like rain!!
