Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 190 — Light Natural Swordsman
After teaching Bailian basic knowledge, Zhou Yuan went back to training the girl in swordsmanship.
Linxia did not miss out on studying despite only paying attention from afar, as someone who knew Zhou Yuan early on he certainly knew Zhou Yuan's extremely high sword ability.
Two weeks had passed since Yun Feiyu's departure, Zhou Yuan continued to teach Bailian. Although only briefly but the increase of Bailian on the sword has grown rapidly.
This happened due to two factors, first Zhou Yuan was very good at patronizing someone then secondly because Bailian was a smart girl so he could learn quickly.
One day when Zhou Yuan and Bailian were doing match practice, suddenly a portal appeared in their midst.
Zhou Yuan was startled but could quickly calm himself down, there was only one person who could do so and that person was Yun Feiyu.
Sure enough, as the portal grew larger Yun Feiyu finally came out of it but with a messy condition.
The woman's hair looked tangled as well as the red dress she wore was torn in some places. Yun Feiyu's smooth skin also looked dirty and muddy.
"Grandma!"
"Auntie?!"
Zhou Yuan and Bailian were almost simultaneously shocked to see Yun Feiyu's condition.
"Ah, I'm sorry I must have bothered you guys to practice..." Yun Feiyu smiled widely as she patted her dirty dress. "There were a lot of things that happened when I picked up that orchid plant, although it was annoying but I was able to get a lot."
Zhou Yuan was actually more worried about Feiyu but after seeing it more clearly, even though it was dirty but there were no injuries on the female's body.
"Is Grandma okay?" Bailian asked in an anxious tone as he walked over.
"My condition is good Lian'er, I'm just a little messy." Yun Feiyu smiled gently as she stroked her grandson's hair to calm down.
Linxia soon approached after he came out of the house and saw Yun Feiyu had returned.
Yun Feiyu then turned his head towards Zhou Yuan before taking out a leather pouch from his spatial ring, zhou Yuan and Linxia's eyes instantly widened as he opened the leather pouch that contained a large number of Sun Orchid and Moon Orchid plants.
"Yuan'er, Xiaxia, I can only get this much but take it easy if it's less, I'll look for it again." Yun Feiyu explained.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, the amount Feiyu had given him was more than enough to break through to an even stronger level.
Zhou Yuan immediately thanked him very highly, he did not expect Feiyu would do all this for him even though the relationship of the two could be said to have just met.
"There's no need to thank Yuan'er like that, just think of it as a payment because you've taught my grandson the sword." Yun Feiyu smiled warmly.
Yun Feiyu also took out another leather pouch and it was given to Linxia, the girl felt moved and grateful.
"Thank you Auntie..." Linxia wiped away his tears because of Feiyu's precious gift to him.
"No problem, you also have to grow stronger Xiaxia." Yun Feiyu nodded slowly.
"If Auntie doesn't have anything to do with me, maybe I'll do some closed-room exercises."
Yun Feiyu smiled warmly, "Rather than in the room you should practice in the right place." Yun Feiyu said so while swinging his hand, before long a portal was formed.
"There is a suitable place for you to do closed-door training, Bailian used to train there a lot..." Feiyu then turned to Linxia, "Xiaxia, you can also come there if you want?"
"No Aunty, thank you, I'll practice next time." Although Linxia had enough resources to break through now but he chose to do so later.
Zhou Yuan then said goodbye before entering the portal, he himself was a little curious about the place Feiyu had appointed.
Zhou Yuan came out of the portal and found himself in the middle of the lake, Zhou Yuan was standing on a small land surrounded by a vast lake.
On the small land of Zhou Yuan there was a large cherry tree that was flowering beautifully. Zhou Yuan finally understood why this place was suitable to be a good place to do closed-door training. The cherry tree exuded an unusual energy aura, instilling emotions of calmness and making the mind clearer.
"I heard the teacher say that there is a tree that can release aura, it seems that what the teacher meant was this kind of sakura tree..." Zhou Yuan muttered softly as he looked at the sakura tree.
Zhou Yuan then put down the leather pouch containing the orchid plant while he sat leaning against the cherry tree.
"My strength will increase greatly if I extract all these orchids..." Zhou Yuan smiled widely before starting to consume one of them.
Zhou Yuan began to close his eyes and focus on absorbing the efficacy of the orchid in his body, the efficacy was very large, taking a long time until Zhou Yuan could absorb it entirely in one plant.
In addition to the increased strength, the power capacity within Zhou Yuan also continued to increase due to consuming the Sun Orchid over time.
Within a week Zhou Yuan had restored his strength that had been lost from using his forbidden tootokan for two consecutive times.
Zhou Yuan had returned to his original crystal realm level, he who thought it would take months in doing so but did not expect it to be pruned using these two resource orchids.
Although this is not the first time he consumed the plant but Zhou Yuan admitted that these two orchids have very terrible properties.
Zhou Yuan did not stop there, he continued to extract the Moon Orchid and Sun Orchid continuously.
His Sky King body that required a great deal of resource intake made Zhou Yuan would not experience any side effects from eating too many resource crops.
Zhou Yuan could feel how his body was like a thirst for resources, already dozens of orchids he had consumed yet there was no sign of him breaking through to the next stage.
Occasionally while in his training, Zhou Yuan found a rice box placed not far from him sitting down. Zhou Yuan guessed the one who put the rice was Feiyu using his portal ring.
Whether on the day that Zhou Yuan finally managed to break through again, this time Zhou Yuan could sense that there was some kind of barrier blocking his strength.
"Light Gate..." Zhou Yuan recognized the barrier as a gate of light.
The Gate of Light was the limiting point of a swordsman in the Crystal Realm to be able to break through to the level of the Light Realm.
This gate of light is what distinguishes the power of the Light Realm from the level of nature below. The Gate of Light identifies that those who managed to open it have reached a different level than a human.
