Chapter 114 Invitation

 The Shuo berry is not a particularly precious spiritual fruit. Its spiritual energy is only light, but its taste is truly unique.

It can be said that except for some top-quality spiritual fruits, the taste of berries is definitely the best among ordinary fruits.

In addition to eating it directly, it is also suitable for making into dishes, which gives it another flavor.

Many restaurants like to use berries to make magical dishes and sell them. There are often a lot of diners and the supply is often insufficient to meet the demand.

Berries are seasonal fruits, only available within ten days or so a year, and must be eaten or made into food within three days of picking, otherwise they will rot.

Even putting them in a Qiankun bag didn't work. The Qiankun bag clearly had a freshness-preserving effect, but once the berries were put in and then taken out, even for just a moment, the delicious taste would immediately be reduced by half, which was very distressing.

Therefore, people who come to pick berries usually eat them as they pick them. They eat a portion for themselves first to enjoy themselves and make the trip worthwhile, and then they immediately sell the rest to other monks and restaurants.

Mo Jiuwei had never eaten berries since she came to Xianlai Sect. Liu Feng and the others knew that she must like this kind of fruit, so they asked them to come together when the fruit was ripe, as a way to relax and have fun together.

"We have been walking for so long and haven't seen a single berry. Those people are too greedy."

Meng Ling pouted, looking a little unhappy.

They had been walking for almost an hour. They had seen a few berry trees along the way, but they were all bare, without a single fruit left!

This was really ridiculous, because the fruits ripen in batches, and it was impossible for all the fruits on the tree to ripen at the same time. And they came early, so it was unreasonable not to see any fruit.

This proves that someone picked the raw fruits.

"Maybe it's because even though the raw fruit doesn't taste good, it can be preserved for two more days, which is better than going home empty-handed," said Du Yue.

Raw fruits will mature after being stored for a few days, but the taste will be worse than those that ripen naturally.

If they were in their shoes, they certainly wouldn't pick the raw fruits, as it would be a pity to pick them too early.

But other people obviously don't think so. To them, what they picked is theirs. As for whether it tastes good or not… they can sell it for money anyway, right?

"We won't return empty-handed, will we?" Ji Qingqing smiled bitterly.

"It shouldn't be. Didn't we see some cultivators in the center? At least there will be some there." Liu Feng said, "Let's go, and move faster."

It doesn't matter if they can't eat the fruit, but Jiuwei can't make this trip in vain.

If that doesn't work, just spend money to buy some from someone else.

[Hmm... don't panic, we haven't picked all of them yet, there are some to eat. ]

[Just take your time to stroll around. ]

Mo Jiuwei yawned and thought to herself.

As they walked, other monks passed by them from time to time. Everyone was in a hurry, as if they would not be able to pick any if they were a step late.

Another hour passed, and now half a day had passed, and they still hadn't seen a single berry.

Wow, they were all picked up so cleanly that there is no time to find some fresh ones!

Moreover, along the way, I only saw people coming but no one leaving, so they had no place to buy even if they wanted to.

"Go that way!"

Mo Jiuwei suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to a path.

[There is a huge berry tree there, but no one has discovered it yet. ]

Everyone was happy to hear this.

It would be great to have fruit trees that no one has discovered, because that means there will be ripe fruits!

The more ripe the berries are, the sweeter they are, and they are simply incomparable to those raw fruits.

So the group turned around without hesitation.

This road is a bit difficult to walk on. The terrain is narrow and the road is very rugged. The most important thing is that there are too many forks in the road. You have to choose a fork after walking a few steps.

"left!"

"Go straight!"

"left."

Mo Jiuwei stretched out her little hand to point the way and choose the direction for them.

I turned left and right like this, and soon, before I saw the berries, I could already smell their scent.

"Wow, it smells so good, I'm drooling."

The younger Meng Ling couldn't control his saliva, and his eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

Now there was no need for Mo Jiuwei to point out the direction, as they had already found the location of the berry tree on their own.

This is a crooked tree with its roots in the cracks of the rocks. Because of the obstruction of the rocks, its growth shape is very strange.

But this does not affect its ability to bloom and bear fruit. The three-meter-tall tree is full of green-skinned fruits as big as fists, many of which are dyed pink.

The pink berries are a sign of ripeness, while those that are completely green are raw fruits.

"Great! There are at least thirty or forty ripe ones here!" Du Yue looked up and counted them roughly. The more he counted, the happier he became.

Okay, with these, their trip wasn't in vain.

Yi Xingyun jumped up and picked up the largest and ripest fruit in his hand, "Uncle Master, this is for you."

Respect the old and love the young. Although the little sister is the most popular, we cannot ignore the elders.

"You are so thoughtful. Give this to Jiuwei and I will pick mine myself." Liu Feng smiled, then jumped up and picked one in each hand.

"Jiuwei, eat quickly." Yi Xingyun handed it to her with a smile.

But Mo Jiuwei pushed Yi Xingyun with her little hand, and just pushed the fruit in front of Chen Lan, "Lan, eat."

Chen Lan was stunned, her heart suddenly softened, and then her eyes turned red.

As early as when she valued Mo Jiuwei more and more, Chen Lan felt that the void in her heart was filled, and now she felt that her heart was even hotter, as if something hot was about to burst out.

She touched Mo Jiuwei's head with a hoarse voice, "Jiuwei, be good, you eat this, and Senior Sister can pick it yourself."

Mo Jiuwei then chuckled, hugged it and started biting it.

Although her teeth were not as good as those of adults and she could only take small bites while others could take big ones, she still tasted sweet.

"Mmm, how sweet!"

She took a bite, and her mouth was full of juice. The sweetness was mixed with a hint of sourness, which just neutralized the greasy pure sweetness, giving it a unique flavor.

Everyone picked some fruits to eat. After eating one or two, they wanted to put the rest in a basket and take them back to Xu Yihan.

They only picked the ripe ones and left the green ones alone.

Although no one comes here now, perhaps they can still wait for the right person.

"Immortal Palace!"

Mo Jiuwei saw them using a basket and reminded them in time.

"Immortal Palace?" Liu Feng turned around and looked at her.

Mo Jiuwei nodded heavily.

[The Immortal House can be stored permanently and the taste will not change. ]

[After all, the Immortal Palace is not an ordinary space. ]

Everyone couldn't help but feel delighted and handed it to Mo Jiuwei, asking her to keep it.
