Chapter 796: Chapter 1: Ginsengfruit

Yunmeng Marsh, Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror.

As a hidden Blessed Cave Heaven behind the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, various longevity fruit trees have already been planted here.

If the Jasper Pool Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens is planted with mature Flat Peaches, a genuine "large-scale orchard" in the true sense.

Then this is the "experimental field" for cultivating and grafting new varieties.

Wherever one’s eyes go, all kinds of strangely shaped herbaceous plants can be seen, including special varieties that leave a deep impression at a glance or even make one shudder.

Besides, the enigmatic Nvman, resembling fairies dwelling among the flower clusters and fruit trees, are particularly striking.

These second-generation Nvman have practiced the Divine Power of "manifestation outside the body" for many years to perfection.

Each Nvman is an independently existing individual, yet they form a magical consciousness network, becoming part of a larger collective.

Especially after cultivating their manifestation outside the body, each split Nvman strengthens the collective consciousness.

By now, Nvman can even be considered one of the hardest existences to kill in the Three Realms.

Wherever the Profound Garden Barrier covers, Nvman traces will certainly be found.

Even within the Jasper Pool Heaven of the Celestial Realm, Nvman act as protectors of the Immortal Peach Orchard.

However, driven by their usual curiosity, many Nvman in the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror are gathered around a strange large tree.

This large tree is located on a branch crown right next to the "Undying Tree."

By rooting into the "Undying Tree," this large tree receives nourishment far exceeding other longevity fruit trees.

Considering the "Undying Tree" was personally planted by the Tao Ancestor as the longevity Dao Fruit and is the core of this Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror.

This large tree receiving nourishment from the "Undying Tree," in a sense, can already be seen as an unusual offshoot of the "Undying Tree."

"Is this the Grass Returning Pill?"

"It indeed looks quite disgusting..."

"No wonder the Tao Ancestor called it ’Ginsengfruit.’"

"Could it be that our cultivation method is wrong?"

...

The Nvman habitually whispered amongst themselves until Xiluo appeared in the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror.

From afar, Xiluo in the form of a Red Leopard leapt directly from the towering Undying Tree.

At the moment of landing, she transformed back into human form.

The ribbon behind her floated like clouds, making Xiluo appear as if she were a Celestial Maiden.

"Is this this time’s result?"

Looking slightly bewildered at the "fruit" hanging from the treetop, Xiluo’s voice was unmistakably tinged with disappointment.

At this moment, the "fruit" hanging on the treetop was undeniably a warped human figure.

It appeared outwardly like a barely month-old infant.

Yet, hideous roots connected its back and head to the large tree.

Moreover, this "baby’s" features were twisted, its face ugly, and it faintly emitted a sinister aura.

Just standing under the tree, a foul smell rushed forth, prompting Xiluo to frown involuntarily.

Clearly, compared to normal Ginsengfruit, the one Xiluo cultivated not only lacked longevity effects, but could potentially bring unknown negative impacts.

"Wasted all these years of effort..."

Muttering softly, Xiluo made a hand sign with one hand and lightly tapped.

The next moment, the Ginsengfruit suddenly opened its eyes, falling off the treetop.

At the instant it opened its eyes, an unstoppable hostility erupted, like a beast wanting to pounce at Xiluo.

However, Xiluo was well prepared; without even raising her head, the ribbon behind her shot out, binding it in mid-air.

"Ah!"

Evidently a mindless monster, the Ginsengfruit emitted a human-like roar of anger.

Seeing this, nearby Nvman revealed expressions of excitement.

If Xiluo hadn’t been there, one daring Nvman might have already tried to touch it.

After all, for these death-defying Nvman, trying to interact with new things like the Ginsengfruit was much more interesting than experiencing death.

"It isn’t your toy..."

"If you’re really idle, maybe you can help me watch over the other Elixirs of Immortality?"

Understanding Nvman’s personalities well, Xiluo immediately pulled the Ginsengfruit back to her side, then turned to speak to them helplessly.

In the current Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror, failures like the Ginsengfruit among "Elixirs of Immortality" are not rare.

Even with the number of Nvman now, it’s challenging to fully grasp the growth situation of these "Elixirs of Immortality."

On one hand, this is because the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror is just too vast and is constantly expanding.

Even though Nvman have practiced their manifestation outside the body, monitoring the entire Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror immediately is challenging.

Xiluo actually considered introducing other creatures to manage the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror.

However, considering the allure of Elixirs of Immortality for average beings and Wang Shu’s firm opposition, this idea was naturally not going to pass Li Boyang’s approval.

On the other hand, Xiluo’s mode of cultivating Elixirs of Immortality has already undergone drastic changes.

For cultivating Undying Elixirs, Xiluo has achieved automated hybridization and breeding projects,

No longer needing the help of Great Aeon God and Divine Monarch Lingguang to cultivate barely usable new varieties.

Actually, within the current Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror, those automated hybridized and bred Elixirs of Immortality numbers are still increasing exponentially.

The tasks of Nvman and Xiluo are to select viable optimized and mass-producible good varieties from the numerous hybrid species.

For normal people, this is undoubtedly a very daunting problem.

From this grotesque growing Ginsengfruit tree, you can see.

Not all Elixirs of Immortality in the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror are as safe as Flat Peaches.

Choosing genuinely worthy varieties to cultivate and then continually optimizing and mass-producing them is also a hugely expensive endeavor.

Only Xiluo, with a "Primordial Spirit of Destiny," having unconditional support from Hundred Lands Mountain Range and Li Boyang, is eligible for such an extravagant and absurd selection project.

Even so, watching that still-struggling Ginsengfruit, Xiluo couldn’t help but fall into thought.

—Is there still any necessity to cultivate this thing at all?

Compared to the Flat Peach tree with extensive growth potential.

The sole advantage of Ginsengfruit is that it doesn’t need to be eaten; just smelling it can add three hundred and sixty years to one’s lifespan.

Beyond that, whether in terms of variety, growth cycle, life-extending effect, or overall yield, Ginsengfruit is far inferior to Flat Peaches.

Now it seems, these defects probably need a further increase in cultivation difficulty.
