After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower
Chapter 107 - 105: Spirit Fruit

Chapter 107: Chapter 105: Spirit Fruit

Li Pan wasn’t sure exactly what kind of Spirit Plant it was; it was her first time planting a Spirit Plant. She knew the names of some, but not what they looked like. She would have to wait until they grew up to find out.

It was a pretty relaxed day; Gu Ye and Gu Yun had gone shopping at the base.

Only Xue Dong was at home, and she planned to mark the new Spirit Plants. She had had a minor upgrade recently, gaining the ability to teleport through space, and her spiritual power had increased significantly, so she felt somewhat confident this time.

"Xue Dong, I plan to mark the new Spirit Plants. Would you mind keeping watch over me?" she asked.

"Are you confident?" he asked.

"Last time I upgraded, my spiritual power doubled. I think it shouldn’t be too difficult," she replied.

"Okay, then give it a try," he consented.

Xue Dong nodded and sat down not far from her, watching over her.

Li Pan brought a clay pot over, containing a very small seedling with tender green colors. It was one of the several seeds given by the orphanage director.

Pei Yuan determined it to be a Spirit Plant, and likely not of a low Rank either; otherwise, it wouldn’t have consumed so much of her Wood Power to sprout such a small amount. Even the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit grew faster than this.

It was the slowest growing among the few Spirit Plants, and Li Pan had decided to mark it, having made ample preparations this time.

Li Pan began to gently probe the pale green plant with her spiritual power. The plant did not resist, nor did it refuse or eagerly accept.

She continued to increase the fusion strength of the Wood Element Factor, slowly releasing emotions of warmth and happiness to it with her spiritual power.

After a while, the plant finally responded slightly, a kind of nod.

Only then did she start to increase the transmission of her Wood Power. She channeled more and more until she was almost depleted, finally succeeding in leaving a bright mark.

The plant gently swayed, sending her a bit of energy—a mere trace—but it made Li Pan feel refreshed all over, and her spiritual power was quickly replenished, returning to its peak state.

Xue Dong watched her with concern, seeing her energy levels going from high to depleted and then quickly back to their peak, which he found quite strange.

"So this is called the Earth Dragon Fruit Tree, bearing the Earth Dragon Fruit," she said.

"That impressive, huh?" he replied.

Xue Dong had never heard of this fruit.

"Let me look it up."

Li Pan had also never heard of it; she was young and there were many Spirit Plants and Spirit Fruits she hadn’t seen.

A search on her phone, and she actually found it on the base’s webpage.

"Here it is, look, brother," she exclaimed excitedly, showing him the phone.

"Let me see," he said.

Earth Dragon Fruit, a Tier 1 Spirit Fruit, brown in color, with a rough, textured surface. The Earth Dragon Fruit is rich in Earth Attribute energy, which can enhance Earth Element abilities. It is widely used in cultivating Earth Attributes and in making medicines, significantly improving the abilities of Earth Element cultivators.

Looking at the exchange price, a whole string of zeroes. Even with Li Pan’s high Contribution Points, she couldn’t afford a single one.

"Incredible, this is amazing stuff," he remarked.

After reading it, Xue Dong looked at Li Pan, and though the plant was of the Earth Element, it was definitely a top-grade Spirit Plant.

"Let’s take another look at the Five Elements Fruit."

"Okay, let me find it. Here it is."

The Five Elements Fruit, depending on the ability of the cultivator, determines the rank of the fruit. A Tier 1 Five Elements Fruit can bear fruits with the power of the Five Elements. Eating any kind of fruit can grant a power; for example, eating a Water Element Fruit can make one a Water Power user. It has been determined that the talent is at least S-rank. The younger the age, the higher the talent acquired; the older one is, the lower the talent.

The exchange price is astronomical and requires resources in exchange. Our base does not have this kind of Spirit Fruit.

"Pan’er, your Five Elements Fruit is so amazing,"

"It is quite amazing, but the key is that I might not be able to cultivate such a powerful Spirit Fruit, and there’s more."

"Generally, Five Elements Fruit, when cultivated to the later stages, if the power input is insufficient, can downgrade, turning into a fruit rich in the Five Elements Power. Eating it can aid in the cultivation of superpower users but can no longer increase talent in ordinary people."

"So that’s how it is, no wonder they say this fruit is a bit useless. Cultivating it is just too difficult."

"You just focus on cultivating it well; whatever the outcome, we won’t lose out, so don’t feel pressured. We can’t fully control these Spirit Plants, so don’t mind it."

"Good, luckily the imprinting was successful today. Now that I have two kinds of Spirit Plants, we shouldn’t lose out too much no matter what."

"Right, Pan’er is a little lucky star, the luckiest girl."

Xue Dong looked at her with a smile in his eyes and a gentle face.

Li Pan tilted her chin up, smiling proudly, "I also feel that I’m pretty lucky. If there were Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, I think it could be very useful. But if I really have the Spiritual Fruit, I plan to first leave a few for the children in the base’s main courtyard and the orphanage who haven’t awakened to any superpower. What do you think?"

She was already basking in her future plans. It’s alright to have beautiful dreams.

"Good. When the time comes, your opinion will definitely be taken into account when distributing them. We prioritize our own people first, and the boss will be thrilled. He wouldn’t find fault with you."

"That’s true, Uncle pampers me the most. I’m hungry."

"I’ll go heat up some food, Gu Ye made Steamed Rice Flour Meat. Let’s reheat and eat it, and there’s also Eight-Treasure Rice. Do you want some? I’ll also prepare some vegetables."

"Let’s keep it simple; we finish what we eat without leaving leftovers."

"You go pick some fruit for everyone to eat; we should add some vitamins with all the meat we’re having."

"I’ll get some pears from the cave then. Let’s stew some pears with rock sugar; the kids will be back soon."

"Sounds good."

The children went to play at the base and would be teleported back to the cave in the afternoon. With this portal, it’s incredibly convenient. Not having a place to live isn’t a problem; they can just zip back in a minute.

The Eight-Treasure Rice that Gu Ye made was delicious, complete with all sorts of ingredients like red dates, peanuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, dried apricots, and the like; made with proper glutinous rice from their own production, it was deliciously sweet and tasty to eat.

For dinner, they ate braised lamb with stewed abalone. The combination of these two ingredients together was surprisingly delicious, bringing out a strong umami taste. Each time they made this dish, it was well-loved by everyone.

They took some fresh pears, as well as some frozen pears. Frozen pears have a different flavor, similar to eating ice cream, akin to pear-flavored ice cream.

The fireplace in the house was still quite warm, tending to make them easily overheat. They kept a good supply of fruit, especially frozen pears, which were always eaten the fastest. In the dead of winter, sitting around the stove and eating a juicy frozen pear, sucking on the sweet and icy pear juice, was incredibly refreshing.

However, they couldn’t eat too much, or it could easily lead to diarrhea. Hehe!

In the following days, Li Pan focused on the two Spirit Plants every day, supplying them with superpower. The Spirit Plants really devoured superpower; they consumed more than half of the available power. The reserves for a high-level superpower user were quite substantial; she was not far from achieving Zhenhua, but certainly not as close as Pei Yuan.

But it was not an excessive distance either. Yet, even so, just looking after the two Spirit Plants was almost all she could manage. The remaining power was just enough for the transport to the medicinal materials, and there was no surplus power for the fields.

She had to rely on Crystal Cores for recovery. Now, the first thing every day was to supply power to the Spirit Plants and medicinal materials, ensuring they were well fed before she could slowly begin to recover.
