Chapter 136 - Yin and Yang Fruits

However, she usually did not like to drink tea, so she did not recognize what kind of tea it was.

Despite that, although she had never seen the black peaches in front of her, she recognized them according to various rumors and information.

They were the Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruits!

This name instantly appeared in Venerable Ning Jing’s mind.

This fruit had been mentioned in legends.

It was a special fruit from the supreme martial arts treasure, the Lightning Rod Tree, which could temper the physical strength of a martial artist. There was only a one in billion chance of it appearing.

It would only be produced by a mutated Lightning Rod Tree!

The tree was polarized. On one half of the tree, the trunk was green and the fruits were red. On the other half of the tree, both the trunk and fruits were black.

It was said that after the mutated Lightning Rod Tree bore fruit, it needed to be baptized by lightning nine times before it could completely mature.

After every lightning baptism, the two distinct halves of the tree would transform and swap places. The green trunk and red fruits would turn black, while the black trunk and fruits would turn green and red respectively.

Moreover, every time the tree transformed, a mysterious pattern would appear on the fruits, and the energy contained in them would directly double.

When nine special patterns appeared, the fruit would completely mature. At that time, the energy contained in them would be immeasurable and absolutely terrifying.

If the red Lightning Rod Fruit and the black Lightning Rod Fruit were eaten together, this could increase the energy contained in the fruits by several times and unleash a terrifying power.

It could help a peak-level Rank-9 grandmaster directly complete the transformation of their body. It could also temper the strong body of a Connate Venerable.

As for Wang Yi’s so-called ‘small gifts,’ the Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruits had already developed nine mysterious patterns and had completely matured.

However, what Venerable Ning Jing could not figure out was why did Fellow Daoist Wang had so many black Lightning Rod Fruits. And since he probably did not care much about such treasures.

Why wasn’t there a red Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit?

Wouldn’t it be a waste of a treasure if she only ate the black Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit?

If Wang Yi knew what the other party was thinking, he would definitely cry out in grievance. How would he know that this thing still needed to be used with a red Lightning Rod Fruit?

After all, it hadn’t been long since he transmigrated to this world. The previous owner of his body was just an ordinary person who had never come into contact with martial arts.

Furthermore, the Spiritual Food Catalog only recorded delicacies but not the usage and explanation of martial arts resources. Therefore, he did not know that the Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit needed to be eaten as a pair. Wasn’t this very normal?!

As this matter involved too many things, it could almost influence the future situation of the entire Langya Domain’s human race. Thus, Venerable Ning Jing had to be careful.

After pondering for a moment, Venerable Ning Jing said, “I haven’t thanked you for helping Wu Shuang advance to the top realm.”

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve brought such heavy gifts today. I really don’t know how to thank you!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, you’re welcome.”

“Fellow Daoist has guarded the Langya Domain alone for more than a hundred years, suppressing the beast race until they can’t even raise their heads. Countless human beings have been able to survive because of you.”

“Everyone will remember such achievements in their hearts. No matter what kind of treasure it is, it won’t be a valuable gift compared to you.”

What Wang Yi said was not exaggerated at all. If not for the presence of a Connate Venerable like Ning Jing, the entire human race’s condition in the Langya Domain would be thousands of times more difficult than it was now.

The flames of war would have probably long been ignited, and corpses would be everywhere. Human blood would dye the entire wilderness red.

How could there be a situation where humans lived in the city and the beasts occupied the endless wilderness?

Venerable Ning Jing was slightly shocked.

She wouldn’t have cared too much if anyone else had said this. She would just treat it as flattery.

However, these words were spoken by a Venerable. It was an affirmation from a supreme powerhouse of the same level as her.

However, it made her feel a little confused…

Venerable Ning Jing calmed herself down and said with a smile, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

“However, there’s something else that I would like to consult you about.”

Wang Yi sipped his tea and chuckled. “I don’t deserve being consulted. Fellow Daoist, if you have anything to say, just say it. I will definitely tell you everything.”

Venerable Ning Jing did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “May I ask if you still have the red Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruits?”

The Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit?

Wang Yi was slightly stunned. She should be referring to the fruits from the Lightning Rod Tree.

He just couldn’t understand how Venerable Ning Jing knew that there were red fruits.

Wang Yi suddenly put his hand to his forehead. He was really stupid.

Although he did not know the function of the so-called Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit, as a Venerable who had guarded the Langya Domain for more than a hundred years, it was normal for Ning Jing to know about the Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit.

Swoosh!

Red Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruits appeared out of thin air. Wang Yi turned to Venerable Ning Jing and asked, “Fellow Daoist, are you talking about this?”

Venerable Ning Jing couldn’t help but look happy. She reached out and took one of the fruits into her hand to observe it carefully.

At the same time, the joy on her face grew stronger and stronger. She said excitedly, “This is it! This is it!”

Upon seeing Venerable Ning Jing’s actions, Wang Yi asked in confusion, “May I ask what’s so special about this item, Fellow Daoist Ning Jing?”

Cough! Cough!

When Venerable Ning Jing heard this, she realized that she had lost her composure. She coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.

At the same time, it also resolved the doubts in his heart. It turned out that Fellow Daoist Wang did not know how to use the Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit.

Venerable Ning Jing casually picked up a black Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit and held it in her palm. Then, she said, “This treasure is called the Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruit. It is divided into Yin and Yang.”

“The red fruits make up the Yin, while the black fruits make up the Yang.”

“The Yang fruit and the Yin fruit have to be eaten together to unleash the true effect of the fruit.”

“One Yang fruit and one Yin fruit are probably enough for a peak-level Rank-9 grandmaster to complete the physical transformation and enter the Peak Realm.”

Hiss!

Wang Yi couldn’t help but gasp in shock. This was much stronger than his previous estimation. Two fruits could actually support his body to complete a qualitative change. There was a five-fold difference between his initial estimation and its actual effect.

Wang Yi could not help but feel a little emotional.

Indeed, knowledge was power and knowledge was wealth. If not for what Venerable Ning Jing had said, 80% of these fruits would have been wasted by him.

Although it did not take much effort to obtain these fruits, it was still a shame to waste them.

Venerable Ning Jing’s expression was slightly solemn as she said again, “May I ask Fellow Daoist…”

Swoosh!

A hundred red fruits appeared in the hall out of thin air. As Wang Yi waved his hand, they floated towards the main seat.

Venerable Ning Jing was stunned just as she opened her mouth. The rest of her words were stuck in her throat.

She originally wanted to shamelessly ask Wang Yi if there were more of the Yang Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruits.

However, she hadn’t expected the surprise to come so suddenly.

Before she could speak, Fellow Daoist Wang actually gave her a hundred Yang Nine Transformation Lightning Rod Fruits.

Wang Yi smiled and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Ning Jing.”

“These are my thanks. Please accept them.”

Of course, Wang Yi knew what Venerable Ning Jing wanted to say.

There was a saying that a good person would do a good deed until the end. Since he had already given her a gift, he might as well do it thoroughly.

Besides, Wang Yi was doing this not because he had so many of these treasures that he could just casually give them away. He had his own motives.
