Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 824 - 455: Surprise! (Part 2)

"Yes, just one tree, very inconspicuous, and it bears very few fruits, at most a dozen a year, sometimes just one or two. The village only had six left, and I traded five thousand pounds of rice and five thousand pounds of flour for them."

"They even have people from the village watching over it."

"You kid know how to do business."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

If he really advanced rapidly in cultivation due to eating this fruit, then the fruit would be priceless.

He then took one out, placed it in his hand, and first examined it carefully with his spiritual power, still not finding anything unusual.

Finally, a blue light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly the scene before his eyes changed. Beneath the red flesh, near the core, were tiny gray particles embedded in the patterns on the core, seemingly one.

No wonder even his spiritual power couldn’t detect it just now.

"Could it be because of these particles?"

Chen Xuan speculated inwardly.

"No matter what, I’ll just eat one and find out. Qin Ke has already eaten one, and nothing’s happened."

He then directly stuffed the red fruit into his mouth and bit gently.

"Master, go slow, it’s really sour!"

"Damn, it’s so sour!"

Both spoke the word "sour" at almost the same time.

"Master, don’t blame me, I warned you."

Qin Ke suppressed a laugh, spreading his hands as if to say it had nothing to do with him.

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan glared at him, it was truly outrageously sour, so sour that the corners of his eyes twitched.

After recovering, he looked at the bitten fruit, and the particles on the section he bit were gone.

He then carefully sensed within his body and immediately detected the traces of those gray particles.

About a few dozen of them, wandering with the spiritual power through his body.

After one circulation, surprisingly, about a dozen particles were gone.

After several circulations, all these gray particles disappeared.

However...

"I don’t feel any change."

Chen Xuan muttered.

Looking at the fruit in his hand, his expression was very conflicted.

Qin Ke watched this scene as if looking in a mirror; he was the same back then, hesitating before finally swallowing it with closed eyes.

At this moment, Chen Xuan closed his eyes and swallowed all at once, then spat out the core, swallowing the flesh in one gulp without even chewing.

But even so, the sourness was... almost twisting Chen Xuan’s face.

After a few circulations, these particles completely dissipated.

Chen Xuan sensitively felt his body, but... he still didn’t notice any changes. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"How does Master feel?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Qin Ke immediately asked.

"No change."

Chen Xuan shook his head.

"I felt the same after eating it, but my cultivation did indeed become different."

Qin Ke recalled the situation at that time.

"Well, you’ll find out later. Is this the surprise you mentioned in your letter for your master?"

Chen Xuan asked. In his letter, he had confidently promised to bring back a big surprise.

Even if there was no Tongming Fruit, the sourness was indeed a surprise.

"Ah... this isn’t it, Master, look at this!"

With that, he pulled out another red wooden box from his breast, but this one was different from before, with arrays carved on it, and the array was still activated.

"What treasure needs to be protected with an array?"

Chen Xuan curiously asked.

"Just take a look, Master."

Qin Ke smiled and extended a hand, letting him see for himself.

"You sly devil, have you used this trick on many women? You’re so skilled."

This trick was absolutely perfect for dealing with women.

Discovering the surprise yourself felt entirely different from being told by someone else.

"Uh—"

Qin Ke was taken aback, then forced a bitter smile. His master’s mind truly could make connections from anything.

No woman in this world was worth him doing such a thing.

The only one would be Chen Xuan.

The person who changed his entire life.

Chen Xuan extended a finger, with his spiritual power swirling around it, then gently stroked the box, instantly unlocking the array.

"Master’s spiritual power and array expertise have grown stronger."

Seeing this, Qin Ke couldn’t help but exclaim.

Though he knew such an array wouldn’t stump Chen Xuan, the smoothness with which he unlocked it with a gentle stroke, without the slightest disturbance, truly amazed him.

He also noticed that every time he didn’t see his master for a while, his master’s strength would leap to a new level.

Whether before the Dao Realm or after, cultivation for him was as simple as eating or drinking.

He experienced no bottlenecks whatsoever.

"Is this what they call a monster?"

Qin Ke muttered in his heart, looking at Chen Xuan with even greater respect.

"Master is still the master."

Chen Xuan smiled at him, "Of course, seeing a disciple surpass their master would also be what a master wishes to see most."

"Please, don’t say such things, Master, it gives me so much pressure!"

Qin Ke waved his hands repeatedly; with his talent, surpassing Chen Xuan would be like courting death.

It wasn’t a matter of a lack of ambition, but it was simply impossible.

Chen Xuan smiled with his eyes but said nothing, his gaze then turning to the wooden box, slowly opening it.

Before his eyes lay four great herbs, quietly resting there.

"A hundred thousand years old!"

Even Chen Xuan couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

Hundred-thousand-year-old herbs were rare, nearly all in the hands of great experts; he, a mere Dao Realm expert, where did he get four hundred-thousand-year-old herbs?

"Where did they come from?"

"In the hundreds of counties in Molan Mansion, some ancient families have declined and retained heirloom treasures. It’s quite normal; I inquire about such matters in every county."
