The impression the fruits gave was also pretty ordinary, nothing special at all.
And the little tree was placed in a corner, as if it wasn’t valued much.
"Spirit Dao Fruit!" he murmured.
He even reached out, wanting to touch it, but then thought of something and immediately drew his hand back.
According to legend, before a Spirit Dao Fruit is fully ripe, it cannot be touched.
Once it comes into contact with human breath, it will fall off immediately and wither in less than a minute.
And then it has no value at all.
But once it’s ripe, it would be of considerable help even to Lin Xi.
The help lay in enhancing Spiritual Power.
The stronger a person’s Spiritual Power, the smaller the danger when breaking through realms, and their comprehension of Cultivation Techniques and the like would greatly improve.
In short, the benefits were unimaginable.
Even the old man didn’t know how to increase Spiritual Power.
Or rather, from the information Lin Xi knew, other than a few rare treasures and strange fruits, the growth of Spiritual Power relied completely on luck, or on the occasional gain from breaking through a major realm.
"How does Princess Consort Le have something like this?" He steadied his mood.
Because even in a Secret Realm, he had never encountered one; he’d even asked Xiong Haitao before, and no one in the Secret Realm where his family lived had ever mentioned a Spirit Dao Tree.
Which showed that this thing was absolutely a heaven-sent treasure.
Its value was hundreds of times higher than those so-called heaven-and-earth treasures Lin Xi had mentioned before.
Or rather, their values weren’t even on the same level.
Just then, Lin Xi heard footsteps, and when he turned he saw Princess Consort Le walking over.
Seeing Lin Xi already deep within her potted plants, Princess Consort Le’s face flashed with a hint of panic.
These flowers and plants, to her, were like family to a girl who loves pets.
At the same time she also noticed that although Lin Xi had already gone deep inside, he hadn’t broken or damaged a single thing.
She immediately felt much more at ease.
"Come out, quickly!" She was still a bit nervous as she spoke.
Because to raise these things to this state, she had truly spent an enormous amount of effort.
Lin Xi didn’t say much and came out from among the pots at once.
The moment he stepped out, he could see that Princess Consort Le looked even more nervous.
She looked like she was terrified he would brush against a branch or leaf.
"How did you get in there?" Seeing that Lin Xi had already come out and hadn’t touched anything, she asked in some puzzlement.
If it had been anyone else, she would definitely have exploded by now.
Lin Xi smiled. "These flowers and plants all look so exquisite, and I’ve never seen them before, so I went in out of curiosity to take a look."
"You like these too?" A hint of surprise flashed across Princess Consort Le’s face.
Because young people of Lin Xi’s age, especially boys, rarely liked this sort of thing.
This was usually something you only had the mood, time, and patience for once you were a bit older.
In an instant, the displeasure she’d felt toward Lin Xi just now eased quite a bit.
At the very least, he was a fellow flower-and-plant lover.
It was understandable!
Besides, she hadn’t told him beforehand that he couldn’t go in or touch anything.
"Of course I like them!" Lin Xi said.
He was a Divine Doctor—mm, there was almost no illness he couldn’t treat.
In other words, he wasn’t like those quacks outside, all reputation and no substance; he could truly live up to the title Divine Doctor.
So he’d dealt with flowers and herbs a lot.
Naturally, he’d grown fond of them too.
Hearing his firm answer, Princess Consort Le’s eyes lit up.
The two of them then started chatting about this subject.
To their surprise, both of them were basically at a master level in this area of knowledge.
Princess Consort Le in particular felt like she had suddenly found a soulmate.
So someone who usually didn’t like to talk suddenly became eloquent and talkative.
It went on to the point that Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu couldn’t help coming over to look for them, and only then did it come to an end.
