Chapter 7 - 7: Fruits of the devil(2) (1/2)

Xiao Yan continued to stare at the fruits attached to the tree with clear shock and surprise expressions.

Five minutes later, he calmed down and moved closer to the tree while muttering.

”Devil fruit... Devil fruit... Devil fruit...” He said like a man who was possessed.

But when he came closer and able to see the fruits more clearly, he stood stone still.

'No. Those aren't bloody devil fruits.' They clearly wasn't now that he was close to look at them but not too close that he would cause the sleeping spirit beasts to wake up.

They weren't swirl like fruits but red fruits with yellow tribal markings. They don't seem to release any kind of fragrance, that might be because he was several feet away from them, but now that he was near the tree Xiao Yan felt the surrounding spirit energy around him to converge towards the tree more specifically, the fruits.

'I think I heard this type of fruit before from Tang San once or twice in his teachings to me about all kinds of medical and poisonous herbs. He said that those fruits are the so called, Purification Fruit. A rare type of fruit that makes anyone who ate one to have their meridians purified and strengthen the condition of their body to a peak state, depending on their age. Especially if their 10,000 years in age. They would have the person who ate the fruit to shed their old skin and create anew. Their blood, bone marrow and meridians will also evolved. Making them experience a sorta pseudo rebirth. But it can only work once and only for spirit masters that haven't gotten their spirit ring.' Xiao Yan thought as he surveyed his surroundings and the two sleeping spirit beasts.

It was supposed to be a rare type of fruit that all the famous clans and families in the entire Douluo Continent would instantly buy for 140,000 spirit gold coins just for a hundred year old one. The effects aren't the same as a 10,000 year old one but it can still help strengthen the eater's body condition. For a whole tree of it just standing right in front of him, isn't this lucky!

Xiao Yan's mouth turned into a huge blooming smile as he stared at the tree in greed. He was just a few seconds away to run up to the tree and grabbed all the fruits on it. Some of them he would give for his close friends and whatever remained of the fruits he would either sell or make it be a bribe for someone when he needed it.

But no. He didn't act on his impulse of being a human. Even if the greed of wanting the fruits was great, the need to survive was far more greater. Especially...

'This is suspicious as f.u.c.k!' He thought with a calculating expression.

A single tree fully bloomed of Purification Fruits? If this ain't a bloody trap then I'm either clearly reckless or retarded.
