Spirit Root Fruit

Amelia stood on the roof of her building. The cultivation manual her master had given her is mysterious even to him when he was still alive. Now that she has reached the second realm she has unlocked some mysteries. This manual is a little different because its refinement second realm will transform her body cell by cell, limb by limb until she becomes the best version a mortal body can possibly achieve in the low levels of cultivation.

She has changed from her overly immature features. She seems like a 19 year old young woman. Her body is taller by 2 more inches than last time. Now she is 5.9 tall. The body looks ripened with full breasts and round firm buttocks. The legs are tall and has firm muscles.

Her cold blue eyes are shining like starlight. The red cherry lips are full and pouty. She has a long white neck a contrast to the black hair that reaches below her waist. She is completely breathtaking.

Her mental power can cover half of main building. The power of her body alone is immense, Amelia broke through an entire realm to the refinement realm. The body strength will have a higher foundation now that she had consumed an entire body cleansing mystical fruit. The refinement realm is about refining the body and slowly casting away mortality. 

The mystical fruit bas increased Amelia's foundation and her body will get even stronger as time goes on. Her body is far more superior in sensing and drawing in spirit qi. Amelia knows this is not even close to the power held by the hidden families.

Although she has a good start, there is still a long way to go, which is why even as she has a lot of resources that can build armies and turn her into a behemoth in a short time, there is still a sense of crisis in her heart so all these miraculous things are well hidden by her for now.

She disappeared from the roof going to play with her puppy. Agatha is still refining the energy from the fruits. Hearing her approach, Agatha said in slight discomfort.

"Quickly put me back. I need clean energy."

Amelia complies knowing the snake has been out for too long and it is her fault. After playing with the small puppy, she went to see Mo.

"Leader, you grew up again?" Mo asked in surprise.

"What's surprising about that, I am still young old Mo."

"Right." Mo agreed.

"How are things?" Amelia got straight to the point.

"There are only 1800 people without the potential to awaken. Every other soldier who can awaken has awakened. With the daily cleansing, their power increases in leaps. We have people the overall average at level 4.

There are also the water power, they feel like they are useless in battle, which is a shame since we have over 700 people with water supper power." Mo said in a good mood.

"It isn't enough. Winter is coming more people are going to come here soon. Get me those 700 with water system and the most hard working 200 of those who are un able to awaken.

Old Mo worked fast and a list was compiled. Soon the hospital speaker announced names of those chosen to meet the leader in the meeting hall for a quick meeting.

She left and walked to the hall. On the way. She saw the families laughing and having a good time in the restaurant.

One of the outer buildings is almost full now and since the base is not complete, it is easy to find work in the base and pay rent.

Mo has made the call and soon the hall has 900 people waiting. When everyone came in and saw the new and improved leader, besides nervous they were very surprised.

"I hope everyone is here now. How have you all been?" Amelia smiled at them.

"Ah! I'm blinded...leader! You are so beautiful. Did you find treasure? How can you grow so much?"

"Yeah, look how big you've grown."

Laughter sounded after this one because she has grown big breasts.

"Alright, I thought you guys are sad that you don't have super powers but you seem fine."

"No, we are sad, so sad. Leader please console us." Fighting zombies outside have made them less scared of their powerful leader who always smiled at them.

They really shouldn't have been so stiff to this leader. Everyone saw the results of leaving the base from the abused women who came back and were refused to work in the main building.

"I want to speak with the water power users. There is a way for you to be able to use water in battle."

"Really?"

"Is this true?"

"Can we also kill zombies?"

"Yes, to all your questions now please settle down first. I will give you something because you are soldiers under my army but in fact this item is very limited so don't tell anyone about it." She took out a row of large containers with purple tomatoes inside.

"Only eat this fruit at the comfort of your bed. You might be passed out for days so have someone who will feed you a fasting pill. I call it a mental fruit, you will gain the ability to see and move things with your Mind after eating it. The fruit increases the power of your brain."

She took out an agreement. They will agreed to keep what happens in this hall a secret even from their closest person. After dropping blood on the agreement, even if they want to do it they have lost the ability to share this knowledge.

Amelia is not ready for the things she holds to be known everywhere. There is still that Shane guy. Amelia wants to be very low key. At least for now.

Exclamations rang in the hall.

"Don't doubt my things. When you have this mental power you can use your ability just like the ice king. His power was initially water super power." They all exclaimed again this time in joy.

The people without the power looked on in envy as the people each took one fruit and left. When they finished she collected the remaining containers into space.

"Now, back to you guys." The room became very silent.

"I have a way for you to gain supernatural power. Compared to them yours is really expensive. But since you are the shield that guards my base, I will be magnanimous and give this to you." Cheers shot through the roof.

They are screaming so loud that the hall seemed to be shaking. Amelia can feel their happiness and relief. She took out containers with fruits she has been harvesting in the space these days.

"Listen." They soon came down.

"Unlike those who were born with it, you get to choose which power you want. The first largest is the elements. The water, which I will also give you the mental fruit if you chose it. Take into consideration that mental power will make your power grow stronger and faster than normal people."

"Leader is encouraging us to take water." They laughed at this.

"No, I am not in fact, you can buy the mental fruit from me in the future so don't make such a decision based on something you can get."

"The leader is mighty!"

"I love the leader."

"What to do if your leader is the best?"

This meeting is filled with laughter and good mood.

"So, elements. There is earth. Best at defense even in high levels. More importantly the city will be built outside the wall, I will need builders...cough cough."

"Hahahaha..."

"Wind. Light as a feather, flexible movements. The power to attack is not as strong but if you have a high level of attainment you can cut through iron."

"Metal power. Just like earth, it is very sturdy. Honestly I don't recommend this one. But you might be the darling of the heavens and pull a miracle. However, if you have high mental power in the future, think flying knives. Awesome right?"

"The leader disdains this power, I don't choose."

"Yeah. Follow the leader."

"There is also fire, I don't recommend this one for women. The heat will alter your personality. A nice gentle lady is suddenly a hot headed lady with too much energy in bed."

"Hahahaha..."

"But it is ultimately your choice. I will support you no matter what choice you make. If you end up alone without a husband..." Amelia points at herself.

"I will help you move into an elder home soon to be built."

"Haha... the leader is so funny."

"Then there is this one. Ice. You can see the difference from the water fruit. You can have ice from the start without practice."

"Plant abilities." She made a throne made from vines with large Rose's at the top. She sat up high looking at them.

"The leader is so powerful."

"That's it I will choose plant type so I can have this in common with the leader."

"Hahaha...."

She waved and the throne disappeared as if it was never there. She looked at the people in front of her.

"The space ability is not available. Now come on and choose. There are 600 fruits there, which is triple your number so don't be in a hurry."

The words fell on deaf ears. Seeing them run up like hungry wolves made her speechless.

"Leader, can I get one even as I am not a soldier?" Old Mo rarely has greedy thoughts.

"Where are my secretaries?" Amelia looked at him lightly.

"They will report first thing tomorrow morning." Mo said proudly.

"Don't you have spirit root?" She asked an he nodded.

"This is yours." Amelia gave him a fruit. Looking at the different types on the containers he looked to her in question.

"It's space." The old man widens his eyes in shock. He really wants to have space.

"So you can store those fruits you steal from the orphans." Amelia said making old Mo choke of air.

The people finished choosing and went back to their seats. "Same advice as the other group. Good luck." Amelia took back the fruits into space. Not a single person stole another fruit. She smiled at this.

Going back to her place she found the nine kings waiting.

"Leader." They all greeted her.

"Come in. How are you all doing?"

"Not good, we hope the leader can help." Shadow king said.

"What seems to be the problem?" She knows these people are just probably making a small matter big.

"Three is crying about me choosing my team mates." Fire king said.

"First of all I made you all change teams every week so that you will assess the potential team mates but as kings, you can invite them to be your generals however, you can not and I repeat you can not force them."

"As you will each have 5 generals below you, each general will each lead an army of almost 100 soldiers. That is a lot of power. You need to choose someone based not only on your instincts but observations."

"In winter I will hold competitions in the base, the prices will be very enticing. Make sure the people you choose won't embarrass you."

"Leader. We will compete based on the team?"

"Yes."

"Remember, some gems are just covered by a bit of dust, once you pick them up and dust them."

As she spoke, she took a cup of diluted spring water and dropped a level two fire crystal nuclei inside the water. She then pulled it out a moment after.

They all gasped at the beautiful ruby in her hand. The crystal she put in the cup and the one she pulled out seem like two different items. The first one was gloomy and shrouded in black fog but the one she pulled out is bright red without at flaws no matter how you look at it.

Amelia threw it to the fire king Li Jie. "Is it blinding? It is so beautiful that all others are overshadowed by its magnificence."

She pulled out a blue one and put it in the same cup. "But in truth, all of them are breathtaking in their own way. All you have to do, Is look their way." She pulled it out and the results were just as amazing.

The blue color is deep and bright at the same time. Making it hard to look away. Amelia threw it to the ice king Yan Yan.

"There are 4000 soldiers in our base, don't just look at power. In this base, the weakest person today may be stronger than you tomorrow. Look at the person. Do they have the qualities of a leader? Do they consider the team mates?"

"Chose your own general and when you have them, come and take resources from me to raise their level to the very top. You can choose the weakest as long as they satisfy your requirements. The power, I can help you give that to them."

"Leader, my best choice doesn't have supernatural power." Li Jie said in embarrassment.

"I have something that will make them gain abilities. Find out what power do they like and come back to see me. That goes for all of you too. Those with no powers can be given abilities, those with water power will be able to battle like everyone soon."

"The water ability users are were given mental fruit by me so don't fight. There are plenty more choices to choose from. " She dropped a bomb with a smile.

"Leader, you are not joking?" Li Jie who rarely changes his face became dazed.

"I am serious. I let them choose between the elements. I didn't give them space, poison, shadow and light spirit root fruits."

"Was that the noise we heard from earlier?" Number three asked.

"Yes. They were very excited." Amelia said with a laugh.

"Thank you leader, this will make things very simple for us." Li Jie said for all of them.

"Are you now satisfied and won't fight anymore?" She saw them nod.

"Alright, I have a task for two or even three of you."

"What can we do leader?" Three asked with a happy tone.

"A group of people came today asking for an escort to bring villagers into the base. They live in the mountain villages, this trip will probably take a week or more to go and come back, this is why I want you to choose 10 people and travel there."

"I'll like to go. My powers are growing but I feel like I am at a stalemate. I need an opportunity." Aiming said with a firm expression. She wants to be a good leader too but her shadow powers are a bit hard to understand.

"Alright, take these bags. They have been prepared some time ago. Bring a few more people with space. Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"Now, report on your progress." Amelia said sternly.

The kings have each reached level 5 except for shadow who is still in level 4 and will advance soon. Li Jie is at level 6 and is about to advance. Their bodies are strong and healthy thanks to the bananas and the regular cleansing. When they finish.

"Alright from now on you can all eat these crystal nuclei directly. As you can see, they are purified and safe for consumption now. Tomorrow I will give those who are leaving drawings of plants to bring back if you see them."

She let them go out so she can start drawing. Although she hasn't seen them, she inferred from the novel description and put a clear picture.

It was already late when she finished, not wanting to be disturbed in the morning she made copied and put the papers and descriptions of each plant under the door for all nine of them. Yawning, she went to sleep.

In the morning the guys from the village wanted to talk to Amelia but space king Yue just laughed at them.

"She hates being woken up in the morning." Yue said looking at the handsome Wei Jin with an understanding. This guy must like their leader.

"Don't worry, you will see her sooner or later. You are going to be living here right?" Yue asked with a wide smile as if to say 'I understand you' but Jin thought he is just being friendly.

"Its the space king Ahhh!"

"Space king You are so handsome." Someone screamed in the crowd.

"Hahaha....Oh Space king, you are so handsome, I'm gonna faint looking into your multicolored eyes. Oh catch me.." Aiming laughs at Yue all the way.

Wei Jin looked at these people laughing and joking. He feels they may not be very reliable.
