“I need more of these fruits,” Alex said.
The high priestess was worried. “Lord Saint, are you sure it doesn’t matter?”
“No. I’m simply struggling a little as I refine the curses from your people. These fruits contain only helpful elements and won’t harm me…”
“Fine, I’ll go get them right now!”
She then instructed the villagers. “Shado, Chelly, take a few people with you to the ancestral forest of the back of the village and pluck some wild fruits. Let’s pluck ten baskets of them!”
Shocked once again, Alex’s hand trembled.
She just casually said ten baskets of fruits. How many heavenly law fruits were actually inside?
After a short while, the heavenly law fruits arrived. They had really plucked ten baskets, with at least several hundred fruits in total. Alex thought he must be dreaming when he saw so many heavenly law fruits.
The next second, the furnace of golden cores in his body suddenly flew out of the cardiac acupoint and appeared above the basketfuls of heavenly law fruits.
The brilliant light the furnace emitted fiercely enveloped a basketful of heavenly law fruits, dragging all of them into it before starting refinement.
Buzz!
As space shook, the rules of heaven and earth poured out, forming a stream of power of great ancient cultivation invisible to the naked eye. When it rushed into Alex’s body, his acupoints continuously emitted fried-bean-like explosions and continued the development.
Ten, twenty, thirty…
Ninety nine!
Once the developed acupoint in the body had reached the ninety ninth, the breakthrough stopped.
Or rather, there was no way out.
The one-hundredth acupoint was on the other side of the formation of acupoints, so it was no longer possible to break past it.
At first, he just wanted to trigger the tool spirit of Persephone’s Folly Bridge. To his surprise, Requiem Clock said, “Thanks!”
It sounded like a real dude.
Persephone’s Folly Bridge screamed… “Rockefeller! Have you forgotten how I saved you before this?”
“I’ve saved you many times. If it weren’t for me, you’d have died ages ago!”
“You’ve embezzled my rations now. Do you have any humanity..?!”
Alex dug his ears and sealed his divine sense, so he could no longer hear the ancestor’s cursing.
When he opened his eyes, a shocking scene greeted him. Without knowing when it was, his daughter Bubbles was sitting in a basket of heavenly law fruits, gobbling them down till her mouth was full of juice.
“Oh, my goodness!”
