Three Sun's Fruit

For the first time, Chu Mu's sword was stained with human blood.

Shaking off the blood on the tip of the sword, his expression was calm as he swept his gaze over the bodies of the four scattered swordsmen. His eyes were like the water in an ancient well, without any ripples. He did not feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable because it was his first time killing someone.

"Swordsmanship is the art of killing. I am indeed a person born for the sword." Muttering to himself, he closed his eyes and stood quietly, letting the breeze blow past. His hair and clothes fluttered as if riding the wind: "The feeling of killing ferocious beasts and killing people is completely different. It seems that the bottleneck of my swordsmanship has loosened."

He remembered that on earth, his master once told him that there was a swordsmanship grandmaster in the early years. His breakthrough was completed on the battlefield. Killing people, from a swordsmanship grandmaster to a swordsmanship grandmaster, and passed down a sentence: Swordsmanship is the art of killing.

Immediately, he opened his eyes and walked towards Liu Tao's body. He searched his body and took out some things from his chest.

"More than a hundred taels of silver, three Qi Nourishing Pills, four Qi Recovering Pills … … and some other things … …"

Qi Recovering Pills, as the name suggests, were pills used to recover sword energy. Its value was a little higher than Qi Nourishing Pills.

After putting all these things into the bag, Chu Mu looked at the swords of the four scattered swordsmen. There was a big sword, a short sword, and two black iron swords. Chu Mu did not like the big sword and short sword, but the two black iron swords were similar to the fine steel sword, but the degree of damage was more serious than the fine steel sword, so he could only throw them away.

At this time, his nose smelled a fragrance that seemed to have a trace of warmth.

"The Three Sun's Fruit is ripe." Chu Mu immediately showed a touch of joy and strode towards the Three Sun's Grass.

The red fruit in the middle of the three leaves of the Three Sun's Grass emitted a burst of warm fragrance. It was bright red, as if it was about to burn.

He immediately took out the Hundred Herb Illustrated Handbook, flipped to the page of the Three Sun's Grass, and carefully looked at it.

Although he had looked at it before and memorized it, he only looked at it in general and had a general understanding. He did not go deeper.

"This is a bit troublesome." Closing the hundred sketches, he frowned slightly. "Once the Three Suns Fruit ripens, it must be sealed and preserved in a high-quality jade box. Only then can it retain its temperature, which is also its medicinal properties. Otherwise, it will lose its temperature. Once the temperature was lost, the medicinal properties would be lost. However, I don't have a high quality jade box. These four loose swordsmen's jade boxes are only incense wood boxes. They can only store ordinary spiritual medicines. "

"Although I can exchange the Three Sun's Fruit for 100 contribution points and five Qi Gathering Pills if I bring it back to the Sword Sect, the conditions don't allow it, so I can only consume it now." The Sword Light flashed, just in time to flick the Three Suns Fruit that had fallen off naturally into the air. It drew an arc in the air, rolled, and fell into his mouth.

Immediately, he sat down cross-legged and placed the fine steel sword on his legs. His thumbs and index fingers were interlocked and placed on his knees. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, eliminating all distracting thoughts. He circulated the sword qi according to the [Qi Cultivation Sword Qi Manual].

After ripening, the Three Sun Fruit would naturally fall off. At this time, its temperature would start to drop bit by bit. The Three Sun Fruit's medicinal properties were in the temperature, and a drop in temperature meant that the medicinal properties were lost.

Therefore, Chu Mu could not wait to eat the Three Sun's Fruit, so as to avoid losing too much of its medicinal properties.

After the Three Sun's Fruit fell into his mouth, he sat down cross-legged and started to circulate the sword qi. At the same time, he lightly bit into it. He felt a warm current flowing out, filling his mouth with a rich fragrance.

It was as if he had suddenly drunk a mouthful of scalding hot and rich flower tea. With a gulp, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed the Three Sun's Fruit juice, which flowed rapidly through his throat into his body.

Hot, very hot. His skin instantly turned red, and a trace of steam rose from his body like smoke. The Three Sun's Fruit juice flowed through his throat into his body, turning into a torrent of energy. It was scorching hot, as if magma was surging fiercely, rushing into his body and wreaking havoc.

Chu Mu's willpower was definitely superhuman. He felt as if there was a fire burning in his body, growing stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to burn him to ashes from the inside out. Under such circumstances, an ordinary person would have already lost their mind, and would not be able to circulate the sword qi properly.

However, he endured the high temperature and maintained a clear mind, wholeheartedly moving the sword qi. It was as if the torrent of heat in his body that was about to burn his internal organs and bones into ashes did not affect him at all.

On the Hundred Herb Illustrated Handbook, there was a note in red that the Three Sun's Fruit juice had an extremely high temperature. To consume it, it had to be combined with some other medicine that lowered the temperature. Otherwise, it could burn the internal organs, meridians, and so on. It could even burn the brain, turning the person into an idiot.

However, Chu Mu did not care. This was because on Earth, in order to practice his swordsmanship, he had gone through many trials and tribulations. This kind of high temperature was nothing to him. Even though he had changed his body, his soul was still his. Furthermore, because of the fusion, he had become even stronger.

Therefore, his willpower, his mind, and his soul could completely withstand the burning of this high temperature. He could even ignore it.

He wholeheartedly controlled the sword qi, circulating it one small cycle after another. Compared to the torrent of heat from the Three Sun's Fruit, Chu Mu's sword qi appeared very weak. It was like comparing a stream to a river.

However, Chu Mu's sword qi was incomparably condensed and pure. When it collided with the torrent of heat, not only was it not defeated, it even cut open the torrent of heat. Furthermore, as it was transported, it absorbed and condensed traces of the torrent of heat and transformed them into sword qi. This caused the sword qi to rapidly grow at a speed that could be felt.

As for his meridians, they also suffered slight damage from the torrent of heat from the Three Sun's Fruit. However, as the sword qi passed by, the scorching energy merged into his meridians. Not only did it heal the damage to his meridians, it also became even tougher.

Not long after, it had already circulated thirteen small cycles.

The limit of the fourth stage of the Sword Qi Realm was ten small cycles. When he broke through to the fifth stage of the Sword Qi Realm, the limit increased to thirteen small cycles. However, the torrent of heat from the Three Sun's Fruit had not been completely absorbed yet.

He felt that he could continue to carry it.

The fourteenth small cycle, the sword qi increased slightly … the fifteenth small cycle … the sword qi increased slightly …

The sixteenth small cycle, the meridians began to emit a tearing pain. Chu Mu knew that the limit was fifteen small cycles. This was his current limit. If he continued to forcefully carry it, it would only cause irreparable damage to his meridians.

"It seems that I can only stop here. The remaining medicinal effects can only be dispersed." When he opened his eyes, they were as clear as a mountain stream. There was also a trace of sharpness in them. He opened his mouth and slowly exhaled. This breath was white and carried a scorching heat. It shot out like a sword.

As this breath shot out, the medicinal effects of the Three Sun's Fruit in his body quickly dissipated.

"At the late stage of the fifth stage of the Sword Qi Realm, the strength of my meridians has increased. I can now carry two more small cycles. The effects of one Three Sun's Fruit are actually so strong." Chu Mu was inwardly speechless.

Five Qi Gathering Pills would definitely not be able to raise his cultivation to the late stage of the fifth stage of the Sword Qi Realm, nor would it be able to strengthen his meridians.

To Chu Mu, there was still a difference between thirteen small cycles and fifteen small cycles. Fifteen small cycles meant that his sword qi cultivation efficiency was three times that of someone of the same stage.

…

"Where did that bastard Chu Mu go?" Wu Qiang said with a murderous aura as he killed a low level ferocious beast with his sword. Blood splattered everywhere and dripped onto the corner of his mouth.

He liked Wang Feng. Yes, ever since Wang Feng saved his life, he had liked Wang Feng. Thus, when he saw how much Wang Feng hated Chu Mu, he also hated Chu Mu. It had already been ten days since Wang Feng asked him to enter the Hundred Beast Valley. He had killed many ferocious beasts, but he still had not found Chu Mu. This made him somewhat anxious and impatient.

"Damn bastard. If I find you, you're dead." There was darkness in Wu Qiang's eyes, and there was a kind of perverted pleasure in his tone. "I will break the tendons in your arms and legs, and then leave thirty-two wounds on your body, making you howl in despair. Finally, I will kill you, cut off your head, and bring it back to Senior Brother Wang. Senior Brother Wang will be very happy."
