Yusuf Zuck had just plucked the nine Green Spirit Fruits when the tree instantly withered and then dissolved, its roots and trunk transforming into a wisp of green mist that disappeared without a trace.
The dew of merit had blessed the core of the Green Spirit Fruit with merit, bestowing it with life, and its life process was to solidify nine fruits, so when the nine fruits were plucked, the merit and vitality also immediately dispersed into the heavens and the earth.
Yusuf cautiously stored eight of the Green Spirit Fruits, placing them in a ring which was already a vacuum inside, suggesting they should be preserved for a long time.
He kept one for himself to consume, not knowing how many years it had been since he last ate, so the sweet taste as it entered his mouth, opening his taste buds, unexpectedly stirred in him the urge to cry.
