For some reason, Luo Susu glared at him a few more times.
Lin Xi certainly knew why, but he was really just discussing hobbies with Princess Consort Le.
He hadn’t actually started flirting or anything.
After all, he wasn’t too familiar with Princess Consort Le.
He wasn’t like when he first arrived in Chuzhou City, thinking every pretty woman he saw was his wife.
He felt that perhaps he’d seen too many pretty girls, especially those at the divine level, too many to count.
Gradually, he became a bit desensitized or not so impulsive.
This was actually a good thing.
After the three women left, he sat down on the nearby steps.
Then, he once again scanned the potted plants.
However, this time he didn’t see any rare treasures like the Spirit Dao Tree.
Or rather, among these potted plants, the Spirit Dao Tree was the only thing that caught his eye.
This rare treasure had another characteristic.
It thrived better in places with more dense Spiritual Qi.
The better it grew, the sooner its fruit would ripen.
Considering the degree of Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm, the Spirit Dao Fruit here would need about ten years to mature.
Here, in a small Spirit Gathering Array not owned by Princess Consort Le, it wouldn’t mature in her lifetime.
But Lin Xi smiled, he had the Jade Pendant Space.
In there, the Spiritual Qi is nearly dense enough to form a liquid.
So, if he put the Spirit Dao Tree in there, would the fruit ripen quickly?
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but smile again; it seemed perfectly prepared for him.
At that time, he certainly would consume one.
Which would definitely boost his Spiritual Power, giving some acceleration to his never-ending quest to advance to the mid-Innate stage.
As for how to ask Princess Consort Le for the Spirit Dao Tree?
He suddenly felt a headache.
After all, it’s a priceless treasure; would she give it away?
If he took it quietly, she might not notice since it’s in a corner away from attention.
Or perhaps taking it openly, disregarding her feelings, Princess Consort Le couldn’t do anything about it.
But both ways, if it were an enemy or bad person, he wouldn’t feel any mental pressure.
Currently, Princess Consort Le had no personal grudge against him and even helped teach his two girlfriends.
If he did so now, it would be too unprincipled and violate his personal principles.
"Forget it, I’ll just ask her later!" He muttered to himself.
No matter the cost, he hoped to obtain it.
Of course, if the cost violates his principles, he would rather do without it than compromise.
As for breaking through and increasing Spiritual Power, he thought it’s not an impossible task for him.
It would just require a bit more time.
About an hour later, the two women left the room with Princess Consort Le.
The women had faces showing they’ve gained a lot, repeatedly thanking Princess Consort Le.
Princess Consort Le seemed quite pleased, saying it was the least she could do.
The three women seemed much more familiar now than before.
After walking to Lin Xi, the two women said their goodbyes to Princess Consort Le as it was already quite late.
At this moment, Lin Xi looked toward the Spirit Dao Fruit in the corner and asked Princess Consort Le, "Princess Consort Le, may I have that little tree?"
His request took Luo Susu and Gu Xiaoxian by surprise; they didn’t expect Lin Xi to like this sort of thing?
But Princess Consort Le showed no surprise.
After all, she had just talked with Lin Xi for a while and knew he had an interest in these kinds of things.
She was curious though, "Why do you want that one?"
"And what kind of tree is it? I still don’t know!"
"I kept it because when I bought it, its fruit was always there."
"However, after five years, the fruit on the tree hasn’t changed a bit."
Saying this, she looked at Lin Xi expectantly, hoping he could provide an answer.
