Chapter 193 – Incense Fruit!

The only problematic thing was that Wei Xiao Bei had already sunk a bit and needed to exert a bit of strength to get out.

“It seems that sir is actually a friend of the Ming Lun Envoy. This god apologizes.”

The local god was smiling as he cupped his hands and bowed toward Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei quickly struggled free from being sunk and let go of his previous fury. He quickly returned the bow, “It is a pleasure to meet you earth god. This humble one’s name is Wei Xiao Bei.”

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei was looking at the card hung on his neck as it glowed with blue light.

He realized that the local god had seen the details of the stone card.

“Oh, so it’s Sir Wei. I would like to invite Sir Wei to come into my humble temple to drink some tea.”

The local god became slightly more respectful at this moment, as if he was afraid of committing an offense against Wei Xiao Bei. As a result, he cordially invited Wei Xiao Bei inside.

Although Wei Xiao Bei did suspect that the local god would do something against him, he could not help but let out a bitter smile. If the local god wanted to harm him, the local god could have done so earlier.

After sorting out his heart, Wei Xiao Bei felt that there was no need to murder the opposite party. Moreover, he had a bit of trust toward the little girl, so he agreed.

The local god could not help but become happy when Wei Xiao Bei agreed. He immediately struck the staff on the ground. Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes blurred, and the next moment, it became clear again. However, he discovered that he was already in front of the temple.

“Honored guest, please come in.”

Following the local god’s voice, the tightly shut doors of the temple slowly opened. He noticed that behind the door stood two rows of people whose upper half of their bodies was human while the lower half was a black fog. Each of them wore gray-colored short gowns.

The local god led the way without stopping his mouth, “This small temple is quite remote, so no one had come here for a long time. Meeting an honored guest today truly brings light to my humble dwelling.”

“Xiao Si, quickly bring some tea. Xiao Wu, serve some local fruits...”

As the orders were transmitted, the mist people answered. Their bodies swayed as they left, leaving only four people to guard the door.

The local god already led Wei Xiao Bei into a big hall. The two of them sat down as the mist people served them.

Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze continue to be stuck on the mist people, the local god smiled and introduced them, “Sir Wei, these people are the Yin Ding below this god. Because their study is still quite shallow, they cannot act like humans yet. Compared to the Mountain Guards, they are nothing but a joke.”

Yin Ding?

Could they be the messengers under the local god?

Wei Xiao Bei pondered while he praised a few words.

It was clear that this local god valued reputation. After hearing Wei Xiao Bei’s praise, he became happy and immediately invited Wei Xiao Bei to try the tea and fruits.

Even if the local god appeared amicable and the tea’s fragrance permeated the entire place, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare become careless. He immediately used [Status Appraisal] to look at the tea. Since it was not aimed at the local god, he should not be able to notice it.

When he inspected the tea, he knew that it was a good idea to have followed the local god inside.

Name: Fortune Tea

Description: The tea leaves of this tea was carefully made the the local god. During the process, the divine power of the local god was infused into the tea.

Effect 1: Luck increases by 30% for 1 week. After 1 week, luck permanently increases by 1%.

Effect 2: All evils will be repelled, 10,000 magics will not invade for 3 days.

......

These two effects would be enough to call the Fortune Tea a real treasure.

Even an idiot would know how good it was to have luck increase.

Although it would not appear in his status panel, he knew that there would be faint changes.

As for the second effect, it should have something to do with being able to defend against sorceries. Although Wei Xiao Bei did not completely understand the old language, he could still guess the meaning from word by word interpretation.

“Good tea!”

Wei Xiao Bei put down the teacup and exclaimed with a reddened face.

The teacup was empty as a plain.

This Lai Longgang local god did not instruct to refill the tea and instead invited Wei Xiao Bei to try the fruits. When he thought about it, the Fortune Tea should not be something easily served to guests.

The fruits were green in color with dewdrops on top of them. They looked plump and tender, and the fresh fruit scent assaulted Wei Xiao Bei’s nose.

As before, he used [Status Appraisal] on them.

Name: Incense Fruit

Description: This fruit was produced by the a fruit tree planted behind the local god’s temple. Incense smoke was infused into the fruit during the process.

Effect 1: Randomly increases an attribute by 2 points.

Effect 2: Randomly increase a skill’s rank by 1.

......

Seeing this, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but exclaim in his heart. The local god appear to be a moneybag in his eyes. Anything he brought out for his guests were not ordinary things.

Although it would only increase a random attribute by 2 points, it was still an entire 200 evolution points. It would also randomly increase a skill by one rank. If it increased a skill that was already at a high rank, its worth would increase a lot.

For example, if Wei Xiao Bei’s Bajiquan (Perfection) were to increase another rank, it would require more than 1000 points.

As a result, this Incense Fruit was a lot more precious than the Fortune Tea, but it did not mean that the Fortune Tea’s value could be ignored.

There were three Incense Fruit in front of him.

Wei Xiao Bei sampled one and caused him to immediately feel warmth enter his body. Soon, he noticed that his courage under the charm attribute had increase to 12.39 points.

Other than that, his [Fishing] skill increased from beginner to intermediate.

This skill increase made Wei Xiao Bei gloomy.

He had thought about increasing all his skills their highest ranks possible to obtain the biggest benefit, but saving them was still useful, so he had no dependable method of doing so.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to put the last two fruits into his pockets, as a result he sincerely asked to bring them home and slowly sample them.

However, the local god answered that if the fruits were brought out the temple, they would become normal fruits.

Normal fruits!

Becoming normal fruits meant that the effect of being an Incense Fruit disappears!

Wei Xiao Bei did not doubt the local god’s words, thus he could only eat both of the remaining fruits.

The second fruit increased his health by 2 points, which made Wei Xiao Bei happy.

Attributes that reach 20 points would require double the points to increase.

But the Incense Fruit ignored this rule.

It showed how extraordinary the fruits the local god had served him.

The second one had increased his [Medicine] skill from master to perfection

This could be considered a huge increase. It must be known that at least 500 points was needed to increase a skill from master to perfection.

Moreover, his [Medicine] skill was very useful. As a result, this increase made Wei Xiao Bei feel that his luck had returned.

This should be the 30% luck increase of the Fortune Tea!

This effect had somewhat shown itself a bit.

After eating the last Incense Fruit, Wei Xiao Bei immediately felt that something was wrong. This was not a problem with the Incense Fruit, but something to do with his body changing.

Pain came out from within and outside his body.

He was very familiar with this feeling.

This was the sign of muscle reconstruction!

Wei Xiao Bei looked at his status panel, and just as he had guessed, his 18.82 points of sturdiness had increased to 20 points!

At this point in time, he could not bother why his sturdiness only increase to 20 points and where the 0.82 points went.

The pain suddenly increased in a flash. Wei Xiao Bei could only let a smile at the local god as his body weakened. The muscles in his entire body quickly melted, leaving only his skin and skeleton to support his body, but quickly enough, his bones also began to melt.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei suddenly go limp, this had startled the local god.

In his mind, he thought that Wei Xiao Bei was not strong, but he was still an old friend of the Ming Lun Envoy. If something bad had happened to him, he would not know how to explain it.

As a result, the local god moved his body close to Wei Xiao Bei and touched him with his right hand. In a short moment, his nervousness relaxed.

“Oh, it’s not a big deal. On the contrary, I would like to congratulate Sir Wei. You have actually easily reached the realm of body rebirth. There are somethings that this god has to handle, so this god will leave first.”

After cupping his hands toward Wei Xiao Bei, the land god immediately ordered a few of his messengers to guard the large hall and not to enter. He also told them to not ignore the honored guest and to immediately inform him once he recovered. Afterwards, the local god left the place.

Wei Xiao Bei did not bother paying attention to the local god anymore. The pain immediately increased explosively, so he immediately sunk his consciousness to take a look at his Dantian, then began to circulate Qi.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was already anticipating this for a long while already.

Everytime muscle reconstruction happened, he would have huge gains in his cultivation.

At this time, the channels that were hard to expand and open were easily opened.

His Qi circulated in his Dantian and quickly accumulated to fullness to the point that he could feel slight pain from his expanded Dantian. A small amount of carelessness would blow up his Dantian.

Wei Xiao Bei knew the risks, but the amount of Qi the Dantian could hold was not something easily increased.

Naturally, he did not dare get careless. If his Dantian blew up, then all of his Qi training would be gone, and he would become a cripple.
