Chapter 1649: Perfect Control

Mu Lingxi swallowed the Heartmoon Saint Fruit and sat on the side to meditate.

Zhang Ruochen handed the wooden jar to the eight-armed spider king and other creatures so they could pick the fruit. Whether they could succeed or not depended on their own abilities.

Zhang Ruochen guarded Mu Lingxi while staring at the water of the saint pool.

Those who dared to borrow the wooden jar were all extraordinary beings. Some of their performances stunned him.

For example, the eight-armed spider king actually spat out colorful string and wrapped around the saint tree. He used the web’s strong pulling strength to fly across the water. His hand shot out like lightning and the next moment, a Heartmoon Saint Fruit was in the jar.

The colorful web had five different types of flames that countered the coldness of the Extreme Yin Pluto Ice.

Other types of spider webs would probably freeze before reaching the saint tree and fall into the water.

“Five-colored Divine Spider race, Five Elements Fire.”

Zhang Ruochen was subtly surprised. This ugly fellow had such a shocking background.

As expected, no one at the G.o.d-Naming Platform Conference was ordinary.

The young girl with snowy-pale skin was both anxious and annoyed to see cultivators keep picking the fruit. How could she have thought that two cultivators who didn’t even have invitations would have a container made of divine wood?

A while later, Mu Lingxi refined the Heartmoon Saint Fruit. Her entire body shone with white light and she had a joyful expression. “I have 300 more Rules of Saintly Way. It’s like months of cultivation. Even my physical strength has improved.”

“It’s that amazing?” Zhang Ruochen was happy for her.

For a half-step Saint King, this Heartmoon Saint Fruit was a priceless treasure and could improve their cultivations vastly. It was also beneficial for first and second step Saint Kings.

Of course, the effect wasn’t that great for those above the third step!

After all, even the weakest third step Saint King had 30-40,000 Rules of Saintly Way. Gaining 300 Rules of Saintly Way was nice, but it wasn’t enough for them to risk their lives for.

“You should try to pick a fruit too,” Mu Lingxi said. “You might be able to reach the second step at once.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. he gazed toward the eight-armed spider king and the others. Some cultivators were sitting cross-legged on the ground, refining the fruit that they’d just picked.

Others had tried countless times and all failed. They had sad and disappointed expressions. They looked toward those who were refining the fruit with envy.

Sometimes, you would brush shoulders with a great opportunity just because you were a bit too weak.

Eleven beings in total borrowed the wooden jar from Zhang Ruochen, but only seven succeeded.

A first step Saint King with a snake head returned the jar to Zhang Ruochen, sighing. “Thank you for your help, but unfortunately, I’m not strong enough. I couldn’t pick the Heartmoon Saint Fruit of my dreams.”

“I’ll return the saint stones to you.”

Zhang Ruochen accepted the wooden jar with one hand while he took out the storage bag with his other.

The snake-headed being quickly waved his hand. “I used those saint stones to rent the wooden jar. Whether I succeeded or not, I should not take the saint stones back.”

He wasn’t someone without a vision. He knew that there were many saint fruits in the G.o.d-Naming Platform that needed saint wood in order to collect them.

Thus, he had to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Ruochen. He couldn’t cut off his path just for these small benefits.

“Okay.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t push further. He put the saint stones away and picked up the wooden jar, walking toward the saint pool.

The snake-headed being and other cultivators all looked at Zhang Ruochen’s back. They all thought, Is he finally going to pick the Heartmoon Saint Fruit?

Earlier, they could tell that this human wasn’t ordinary.

Now, he was about to really pick the fruit, so they naturally had to observe him. Perhaps, they would be able to see just how skilled he was.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to attract too much attention, so he didn’t use spatial power. Instead, he took out a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon whip and clutched it. He prepared to wrap the whip around the trunk.

It was similar to what the eight-armed spider king had done.

Seeing his intention, the snake-headed figure warned, “Sir, you must not.”

“Why not?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“The Extreme Yin Pluto Ice’s Qi can freeze Holy Qi. As soon as the whip flies out, it’ll freeze. Only the First Yao power can fend off the cold, but it’s too aggressive. When it touches the tree, it’ll probably destroy the tree and all the fruits.”

“That makes sense.”

In the distance, that young girl scoffed, looking at Zhang Ruochen as if he was stupid.

Zhang Ruochen ignored her. He thought carefully and tied the wooden jar to the end of the whip.

Sizzle, sizzle.

He added Holy Qi into the whip. It started flying like a wriggling snake and brought the wooden jar quickly toward a fruit on the white tree.

All the beings there shook their heads, thinking that Zhang Ruochen would fail.
