”Isn't this a strange fruit?” Chu Zhiyuan reh he had never encountered a strange fruit before, he was still relance
”Yes! This is a strange fruit!” Chu Feng frankly admitted
”What?!”
When they heard his affir and Chu Zhiyuan showed a look of surprise They could no longer remain calm as both of them were astounded
They knehat hefty price so like this could be sold for
Shuntian was the trading center of the north; it was one of the country's largest cities Things like strange fruits were rarely sold at stores, and on the shelves of the shop that did sell these fruits, they were usually sold at a hefty price
It was said that even the ones with the lowest quality were still sold for eight million Earth coins, or forty million Jiuzou dollars at least!
Therefore, how could they not be surprised when they saw that their son had brought back for the it
”Feng… where did you get this?” wang Jing's voice trilled
”I brought the calmly replied He unfolded his hand so that they could have a better look at the legendary fruits
In his hand, there were twelve pine nuts in total Every one of the all alluring to the eyes of the beholders In addition to the visual enticeave off a pleasant smell It soothed the person's minds and heart

”Rest assured, le spot of a bruise oncomforted
”These are some invaluable fruits Their worth cannot be measured by money,” Chu Zhiyuan said He understood what these seeds were capable of
Fruits that were borne on a grass were already sold at an exorbitant price Even the cheapest ones still cost forty-nine million dollars

Because it could make the one who consumed a master in every possible field
”This is not the entire pine cone They are only the nuts, but they should suffice your need,said
People like Kong Kim became what they were because they had found and consue fruit, but the pine tree in Taihang Mountains had borne a whole bunch of pine nuts This would help many people to evolve all at the sa Kim
Ordinary people normally would only need four to five pine nuts Beyond that nuo to waste It would stop functioning as a catalyst to help enhance one's body constitution
This see predestined The true purpose of the purple pine nuts was to evolve a group of people than to only let one reach the acme of perfection
But even so, the coreater than the fruits that were borne by the grasses

”Yes!” Chu Feng affirive his parents soh no-one could ever know for sure, who or ould be the strongest in the end, Chu Feng at least wanted to reassure theerous world outside safely and unhindered
”Then I could set my mind at rest I know that what happened today wasn't an accident It was someone's botched atteht do so stupid or act rashly Therefore, I chose to hide the secret from you,” Chu Zhiyuan said
They had been troubled bywas not right this tireorried about his life
But right now, he could finally put his unsettled mind at ease
”Mom, dad, you don't need to be bothered by what happened today, nor should you be worried or concerned I will help you resolve it,” Chu Feng said He tried to put theirwords
But inside hier and hatred This was not an accident, as his father had just proven So to kill him
Chu Feng grew resentful This was not the first tier One time after another, the attacks were incessant Whatever intentions that these people harbored were unforgivably evil He swore that he would eradicate every person that had had posed as a threat to the safety of his family He would trace these people back to their roots!
Even at ti's father still tried to cover it up He feared that his son er as well
Chu Feng's was feeling guilty Clearly, those people were co for him
”What a horrid person thatwas furious
”Do you need these seeds to help yourself to improve your body constitution?” Chu Zhiyuan asked
”I don't need the seeds now,” Chu Feng informed them
”That's good then Sure! I will eat these pine nuts” Chu Zhiyuan nodded
Chu Feng held back his anger, reentle and even-tempered in front of his parents He tried to free them from worries ”Dad, didn't you say that those mutated people were just a bunch of sadistic beasts? You sounded quite negative about the idea back then How co the fruit?”
”It was because I knew that I would never have the e fruit to helpto co words to make myself feel better,” Chu Zhiyuan said with a s his own shortcos The father and the son were very similar in this respect
”One day, this world will become a complete chaos, so to stay alive, one must have the ability to protect himself,” Chu Zhiyuan solemnly said, ”there are no other alternatives left for us to choose; even if it co on you, like a horn on your head or so on your skin, does it reallyyou want is to stay alive?”
”Do people actually grow horns after eating this?” wang Jing looked pale She was a wo passed her years of youth, she still cared a lot about her appearance
”Don't worry I won't forsake you for having so on your head,” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile
”But I do!” wang Jing threw his husband an angry glance
