Chapter 354: Chapter 154: Star Source Spirit Fruit Ripens, Aptitude Soars!! (7,000 Words)

The second day.

Zhou Changwang hurried to the Spirit Field, eager to start casting the Annual Ring Skill.

With each casting of the skill, he paired it with Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid.

The age of the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree began to slowly increase.

One year, two years, three years...

When the tree’s age reached over two hundred seventy years, the Spiritual Qi required for each ring grew rapidly.

In the two hundred eighty-first year, it might require only thirty bottles of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid, but by two hundred eighty-two, it needed thirty-two or even thirty-three bottles.

Zhou Changwang still adhered to his planned rhythm, pouring in two hundred bottles of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid each time.

As the Annual Rings of the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree expanded, the fruits on it also grew larger and matured quickly.

The enticing fragrance of the fruits began to spread.

Then came the second day, the third day.

That day, just as Zhou Changwei was burying another batch of Spiritual Ore around the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree, he suddenly felt the Array tremble again.

His gaze turned cold.

He looked up.

Sure enough, there were several giant eagles hovering in the void.

Since a few days ago, when a giant eagle approached and was killed by his finger strike, these days, almost every day, a giant eagle approached, circling in the void.

Initially, their strength was relatively weak, mostly at the Mid Stage of Qi Cultivation.

But starting yesterday, a giant eagle with a strength equivalent to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation appeared.

Upon today’s observation, indeed, they appeared again.

There were three giant eagles, one at Mid Stage, and two at Late Stage.

"Perhaps it’s because of its reason?"

After glancing a few times, Zhou Changwang paid them no mind. These giant eagles, having been continuously trapped in the Array and slain by him, generally dared not approach too closely.

So, he turned his attention to the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree beside him.

With the increasing Ring Time of the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree, the fruit fragrance became more intense, attracting these Eagle Demons to approach.

"Indeed.

Demon Beasts have a very keen perception of Earth Treasures and can instinctively sense the corresponding aura.

Then they sit cross-legged nearby and wait in anticipation.

Firstly, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around Earth Treasures is often more abundant.

Secondly, when Earth Treasures mature, they often reveal the Power of Creation, greatly benefiting various Demon Beasts.

Thirdly, it is the Earth Treasures themselves.

Some can even directly enhance their strength..."

As his mind raced, Zhou Changwang understood.

Perhaps, it is because the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree is nearing maturity, and its unique fruit fragrance and aura have spread out, which attracted these giant eagles.

However, why giant eagles? And not other Demon Beasts?

Instinctively, Zhou Changwang felt puzzled.

Then, upon raising his head again and seeing the sharp, unmatched eyes of those giant eagles, he suddenly realized.

They can see through the mist of the Grand Array and directly see the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.

Precisely because of this, they approach continuously, wanting to seize it?

"Looks like I need to be cautious over the next few days.

The Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree is about to mature, and it must not encounter any mishaps." Zhou Changwang frowned.

Then he continued the cultivation.

Bottle after bottle of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid was injected into the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.

Then he would perform the Annual Ring Skill, aiding its growth.

One bottle, two bottles, three bottles...

Bang~!

Suddenly, a giant eagle swooped down, its sharp claws fiercely imprinted upon the Grand Array.

As the Spiritual Light trembled, the giant eagle spread its wings and quickly ascended.

"Bold!" Zhou Changwang sneered coldly.

With just a thought, a Geng Metal Golden Light shot forth.

Thud~!

Although the giant eagle ascended rapidly, the Geng Metal Finger still struck its wing, causing its body to tremble.

As it adjusted its stance, intending to flee swiftly, the second and third Geng Metal Fingers had already rushed over.

Thud! Thud!

One pierced its heart, the other penetrated its brain.

With the Grand Array quivering, opening a gap, the entire giant eagle fell into the Spirit Land.

The Spirit Dog barked excitedly, rushing up to bite the already dead giant eagle, dragging it towards Zhou Changwang to show off its success.

Meanwhile, the other two giant eagles in the sky seemed frightened by what they saw and swiftly ascended.

Hovering, they dispersed after a long time.

"Two hundred ninety-five years.

Just five more Ring Times, and this Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree will be completely mature." Zhou Changwang ignored the Spirit Dog, his eyes focused on the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.

After several days of cultivation, he finally nurtured it to the stage of two hundred ninety-five Ring Times.

Only five more Ring Times until it matures.

However, Zhou Changwang glanced at the remaining three hundred bottles of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid in his Storage Bag.

At this time, each year of growth for the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree required fifty bottles of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid, but three hundred might not be enough.

"Let’s give it a try!" Zhou Changwang thought to himself, deciding not to wait any longer and hurriedly started trying.

Bottle after bottle of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid poured in, then he commenced casting the Annual Ring Skill.

Two hundred ninety-six years.

Fifty-three bottles!

Two hundred ninety-seven years.

Fifty-seven bottles!

Two hundred ninety-eight years!

Sixty-two bottles!

Two hundred ninety-nine years.

Seventy bottles!

Yet, even after pouring all fifty-eight bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid into it, he still couldn’t achieve another year of Ring Time.
