The fruit tree of enlightenment!

“Let's plant it first!”

Xu Ying didn't think much of it; he could always ask Xu Father when he returned home.

He eagerly used his spiritual power to dig a small hole next to the Osmanthus Tree.

The remaining part of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree in his hand strangely moved.

“Interesting!”

Xu Ying's eyes lit up; he clearly felt that the remaining part of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree still had a residual consciousness.

Soon, the remaining part of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree was planted, and Xu Ying buried it well with soil.

While doing so, he also took out some water-element spiritual items from his Storage Pouch and dripped them onto the Enlightenment Fruit Tree.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!”

In a short while, Xu Ying saw that the Enlightenment Fruit Tree, which had just been planted next to the Osmanthus Tree, had come back to life.

Originally, the surface of the remaining part of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree was a dull gray, completely lifeless.

After Xu Ying planted it in this soil and it frantically absorbed those drops of water-element spiritual items, it began to grow fiercely.

“Does it grow so fast after successful transplantation?!”

Xu Ying quickly stepped back a few paces; the remaining part, originally the size of a palm, had already grown to over a meter tall.

It was even continuing to grow.

Just as Xu Ying was in a daze, he heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

The gate opened, and he turned to see Xu Father and the Xu Clan Leader returning home.

The three of them looked at each other, and then noticed Xu Ying's actions.

“Xu Ying, are you transplanting a spiritual plant?”

The Xu Clan Leader and Xu Father both saw the spiritual plant behind Xu Ying, and even watched it grow frantically right before their eyes.

For a moment, both of them were shocked and curious: what kind of spiritual plant was this?

Although there were many ways to ripen spiritual plants, this was the first time they had seen one grow so quickly.

“This exaggerated?!”

When Xu Ying turned around, he saw that the Enlightenment Fruit Tree behind him had already grown to three meters tall before it completely stopped.

On the branches of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree, the rudimentary forms of fruits had already begun to condense.

“At this growth rate, it probably won't take half a year for the first batch of Enlightenment Fruits to grow!”

Xu Ying stroked his chin, compared the growth state of the spiritual plant in front of him with his memories, and quickly made a judgment.

According to records, the Enlightenment Fruit Tree needed to grow for decades or even centuries to mature a batch of fruits.

“Father, is this soil some special spiritual earth?”

Xu Ying immediately realized the peculiarity of the soil where the Enlightenment Fruit Tree was planted and quickly asked.

“Uh!?”

Xu Father scratched his head, his gaze sweeping over the Osmanthus Tree, his thoughts drifting.

Soon, he remembered and said to Xu Ying, “Xiao Ying, if I remember correctly, this soil was left by your mother.”

“You had just been born then, and I originally intended to plant a spiritual plant for you, but after the Wang Family arrived, the plan fell through.”

“It was only later that I planted the Osmanthus Tree next to this soil.”

Listening to his father's words, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Ying.

He quickly realized the peculiarity of this spiritual earth; his mother came from an Eternal Family.

And her background was not small, so it was quite normal for her to have some precious items in her possession.

He just hadn't expected that after so many years, it would only be unearthed by him today.

Truly, everything is predestined!

“Xiao Ying, what kind of spiritual plant is this? Why does it grow so fast, and I've never seen this kind of spiritual plant before?”

The Xu Clan Leader also approached and asked kindly.

Xu Ying squatted down, grabbed a handful of spiritual earth, felt the special energy coming from the soil, and explained, “Clan Chief! This is an Enlightenment Fruit Tree!”

“Enlightenment... Pfft!”

“What did you say? An Enlightenment Fruit Tree?!”

The Xu Clan Leader had just repeated half of it, his mind agitated, almost spitting out his saliva.

He naturally knew the name of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree.

That was a treasure that could stabilize a Family, so how did it become so casually mentioned by this young man?

“Xiao Ying, don't lie to the Clan Chief. If this is an Enlightenment Fruit Tree, where did you get it?”

Xu Father, listening from the side, was also full of doubts.

Xu Ying casually rubbed the spiritual earth and said indifferently, “I found it in the Family's treasure vault.”

“Family's treasure vault?!”

The Xu Clan Leader suddenly remembered that he had taken the other party into the Family's treasure vault today to retrieve two useless items.

Now it seemed, how could they be useless? They were truly too useful.

The Enlightenment Fruit Tree had been gathering dust in the treasure vault for so many years, but it was found by Xu Ying's Wisdom Eye.

And he even successfully transplanted it; this was just too exaggerated!!

“Enlightenment Fruit Tree!”

The Xu Clan Leader now looked at the Enlightenment Fruit Tree before him, his eyes filled with longing and hope.

It would be wonderful if it could stay with their Xu Family.

As the Xu Clan Leader, he naturally meant what he said, and since Xu Ying had discovered and successfully transplanted it, he would not go back on his word.

Alas!

“Father, Clan Chief, there's one more thing I need to tell you.”

Xu Ying clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled at the two of them, “This Enlightenment Fruit Tree will trouble you to look after it!”

“The first batch of fruits will ripen within half a year. At that time, please leave half for me, and I hope the rest can be used to cultivate the young children within the Family!”

“This... Xiao Ying, this is an Enlightenment Fruit Tree. You transplanted it; if you take it to the Beidou Holy Land, it can even enhance your status and influence!”

The Xu Clan Leader was flattered but still advised with a pained expression, “Besides, our Xu Family cannot protect this thing!”

Xu Ying looked at the Clan Chief and said firmly, “No, Clan Chief, this Enlightenment Fruit Tree can only be planted here, planted in the Xu Family!”

“Putting aside the immediate benefits, it can help my development and that of my fellow clansmen. Looking further ahead, this is our Xu Family's plan for ten thousand years!”

“Besides, over these years, the Xu Family's kindness to our Family, I have always remembered. I am not an ungrateful person!”

“I am not only a true disciple of the Beidou Holy Land, but also a descendant of the Xu Family!”

Hearing Xu Ying's words, the Xu Clan Leader took a deep breath, his face already tear-streaked.

He was incredibly touched, and the pressure he had carried for so many years was also released a great deal at this moment.

The events of that year were done without expectation of reward!

He hadn't expected such a huge surprise after so many years.

The Xu Clan Leader's eyes showed emotion, and he finally said resolutely, “Xiao Ying, then I will accept your kindness, and I thank you on behalf of the future generations of the Xu Family!!”

“From now on, this courtyard of yours will be our Xu Family's third Forbidden Ground! If you ever want my position, I can hand it over to you at any time!”

Xu Ying quickly waved his hand and shook his head, laughing, “Clan Chief, don't mess with me! My future is the sea of stars, the Emperor's Path!”

“Whether the Xu Family can develop into an Eternal Family depends on your Wisdom Eye!”

The two looked at each other, immediately stopped flattering, and smiled.

Xu Father, watching his son now chatting and laughing, and giving such a huge surprise to the Family, had eyes full of comfort.

However, he sighed deeply in his heart, and then thought of the woman who haunted his dreams!
