Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's straightforward question, Gu Xinxin shyly fiddled with the corner of her clothes…
A second later, she spoke softly, "It's nothing, I... I just can't figure out what you're doing right now!"
Hearing such a hesitant, soft query, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "I believe not only Xinxin, but all of you have no idea why I'm doing this right now!"
"Yes! We are all confused!"
Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, everyone quickly spoke out…
At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was indeed right, they really had no idea what he was actually doing!
With a faint smile, Hu Xiaobei said, "Initially, I planned to explain to you all, but after thinking it over, I feel there's no need to explain because soon, you'll find out for yourselves!"
"We'll find out ourselves?"
Murmuring to themselves, Gu Xinxin and the others exchanged curious glances…
"Yes, it won't take more than a few minutes!"
Hu Xiaobei said with a smile before walking away.
They wanted to ask more but soon gave up…
They knew that since Hu Xiaobei said so, he must have absolute confidence…
Just like that, time ticked away second by second…
"Isn't he just playing with us! It's been several minutes, and yet there's no change!"
Five minutes later, many young people started getting anxious…
At this point, one of the taller young men looked towards the distant land…
Soon, his eyes widened…
After quickly rubbing his eyes, he exclaimed in shock, "Everyone... everyone look over there! Look over there!"
Hearing such an incredulous shout, they all turned their heads curiously, and the next second, their pupils slightly shrunk!
The reason was that they saw many green sprouts appearing on the open ground ahead…
"What's... what's happening here?"
Stunned, they all moved closer, and soon discovered that the ground was indeed sprouting various green shoots.
"How is this possible!"
They exchanged a glance, murmuring with shock!
The reason for their astonishment was their knowledge that this area was bitterly cold, and any crops planted here would require a long growth cycle!
Yet now, these seem to have skipped any cycle, since Hu Xiaobei had just scattered these seeds five minutes ago…
Hearing their incredulous remarks, Hu Xiaobei chuckled…
Because he had anticipated their current shock, Hu Xiaobei was not surprised at all…
"Xiaobei, are these sprouting from the seeds we just picked?"
As Gu Xinxin asked urgently, those who had gathered the seeds with her were also staring at Hu Xiaobei in dumbfounded amazement.
They were truly shocked to the core at this moment…
Seeing their astonishment, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and said frankly, "Yes! These seeds are indeed the ones you collected earlier!"
"My god! They really are!"
Receiving confirmation, they turned back again.
Seeing them grow larger, they muttered in intense interest, "Xiaobei, please... tell us how you did this!"
They were now watching Hu Xiaobei with bright eyes, convinced that he must have done something earlier, otherwise there was no way these could have grown so large...
Understanding their thoughts, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand gently and said, "I didn't do anything! The change is because the soil here is very good…"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei mention the soil, Gu Dong, who was sitting nearby, spoke up, "Xiaobei, you must be joking! If the soil was really good, then the Linglong Fruit trees I planted earlier wouldn't have died!"
Hearing this rebuttal, Hu Xiaobei didn't rush to explain…
Instead, he curiously asked, "Grandfather, did you recognize this seed when you first found it?"
Hearing this question, Gu Dong thought it over seriously for a moment.
Soon, he lightly shook his head, "No, when we found this seed, we truly didn't know what kind of seed it was."
"Grandfather, then... how did this become called the Linglong Fruit tree?"
Looking at Gu Dong with surprise, Gu Xinxin asked curiously from the side.
Glancing at Gu Xinxin, Gu Dong thought for a moment, "It's called Linglong Fruit because the seed looks crystal clear! Truthfully, your grandma and I had never seen such a seed before, so we genuinely didn't expect it to survive back then!"
Back then, Gu Dong and his wife were patrolling outside the valley when they spotted the sparkling seed.
Out of curiosity, they picked up the seed.
After returning, they carefully studied the seed but reached no conclusions regardless of their efforts.
Even after searching through all the library books, they still had no results.
Helplessly, they named it 'Linglong Fruit'.
After naming it, they carefully planted it in the yard, originally without expecting it to survive, but surprisingly it sprouted days later.
"So that's how it is!"
Hearing Gu Xinxin's words of realization, Gu Dong nodded!
Soon, his eyes sparkled as he excitedly asked Hu Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, do you know something about this tree?"
Gu Dong suspected Hu Xiaobei must know something, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked earlier.
"Yes, I know some details!"
While saying this, Hu Xiaobei turned to look at the dying tree…
Having heard the name Linglong Fruit earlier, Hu Xiaobei recalled some things…
But he wasn't entirely sure.
After some analysis, he completely confirmed his suspicion…
The tree was not actually called Linglong Fruit, its original name was Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit…
This is a tree that requires very high Spiritual Energy…
So, earlier Hu Xiaobei didn't expect it to survive here, which is why he hadn't recognized it…
"Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit?"
Upon hearing the name from Hu Xiaobei, everyone frowned.
Because none of them had heard of this name before.
Seeing everyone's look of astonishment, Hu Xiaobei gently said, "It's normal not to know, I don't know much about it myself!"
While speaking, Hu Xiaobei explained its features in detail.
After listening, they furrowed their brows tightly…
Soon, Gu Dong voiced the common doubt in everyone's mind, "Xiaobei, is there perhaps a mistake? If this Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit truly requires high Spiritual Energy, there's no reason it could survive here." Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
They knew that while their Valley of the Wicked harbored some Spiritual Energy, it wasn't to a high degree, so logically, the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit shouldn't be able to survive here.
"Indeed, the Valley of the Wicked's Spiritual Energy isn't great, but the Spiritual Energy here is good because all the seeds I scattered earlier have sprouted!"
Hearing this, they turned around and saw those seeds Hu Xiaobei had scattered earlier had indeed all sprouted, some had even grown quite tall.
At this rate, soon, they might truly blossom.
"Could there be an unknown Spirit Vein here?"
Murmuring to themselves, they all started observing seriously, but soon they all shook their heads because everything indicated that there was no hidden Spirit Vein here, merely an ordinary place…
Understanding their implications, Hu Xiaobei gently spoke, "You don't need to search anymore, there's no Spirit Vein, the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit has grown for different reasons!"
