âI need more of these fruits,â Alex said.
The high priestess was worried. âLord Saint, are you sure it doesnât matter?â
âNo. Iâm simply struggling a little as I refine the curses from your people. These fruits contain only
helpful elements and wonât harm meâ¦â
âFine, Iâll go get them right now!â
She then instructed the villagers. âShado, Chelly, take a few people with you to the ancestral forest of
the back of the village and pluck some wild fruits. Letâs pluck ten baskets of them!â
Shocked once again, Alexâs 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 Alexâs body, his acupoints continuously
emitted fried-bean-like explosions and continued the development.
Ten, twenty, thirtyâ¦
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.
Soon, the furnace was dissolved on its own. The ninety nine condensed golden cores returned to
Alexâs body and quieted down. Only then did the golden lake of holy energy somewhat timidly
reappear.
Unfortunately, Alex was, at this moment, already immune to the heavenly law fruits. No matter how
many fruits he ate, it showed no effect on him.
âBrat, youâve got lots of guts! Out of the many heavenly law fruits you have, you didnât even share one
with me!â
A voice suddenly rang in Alexâs mind. Persephoneâs Folly Bridge that he had previously failed to
contact popped up all of a sudden.
Alex scoffed and gave her the cold shoulder.
When he fell into the swamp, he had called on this ancestor, but she refused to come to his aid. Thus,
he made up his mind that he would ignore her in the future. She was all but a troll! Who could afford to
use this expensive and arrogant thing?
âHey, Iâm talking to you! Are you mute?â
âI donât want to talk to you. I canât afford to serve you!â As Alex said that, he deliberately channeled a
large portion of his divine power into the injured Requiem Clock.
âOh my, Bro Requiem Clock is still much more reliable. Bro, just tell me if you need any divine power.
Iâll prepare as much as possible for you!â
At first, he just wanted to trigger the tool spirit of Persephoneâs Folly Bridge. To his surprise, Requiem
Clock said, âThanks!â
It sounded like a real dude.
Persephoneâs Folly Bridge screamed⦠âRockefeller! Have you forgotten how I saved you before this?â
âIâve saved you many times. If it werenât for me, youâd have died ages ago!â
âYouâve embezzled my rations now. Do you have any humanity..?!â
Alex dug his ears and sealed his divine sense, so he could no longer hear the ancestorâs 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.
âOh, my goodness!â
