2100 Eat the fruit of your own making
Sister White Dragon asked, “What do you mean?”
This time, the expression on Song Shuhang’s face was too complicated, so she could not read his thoughts as easily.
Song Shuhang said, “I’m thinking, why is there no magical technique to ‘copy and paste’ knowledge into one’s brain? Isn’t there anything similar to strength transmission, but for knowledge?”
If it’ll take one to two years just to acquire a basic framework, how long will it take to learn everything I need?
Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair swayed around while saying, “What do you consider knowledge? Do you also consider something you haven’t learned as knowledge?”
“Actually, I have heard of magical techniques that do what Shuhang described. They allow you to store knowledge in precious divine items with the goal of passing it on to others,” Sister White Dragon said. “Unfortunately, I’ve never seen such means with my own eyes.”
Whether she had seen it or not… As long as it was something that Pavilion Master Chu deemed impossible, she would definitely seize the opportunity to refute it.
It was very refreshing to undermine others!
“We should stop wasting time. After so long, the other trial takers should be about to arrive,” Pavilion Master Chu said. “Should we go out first, or should we stay here and watch what happens?”
“Hmm, let’s stay here,” Song Shuhang said. “If other trial takers arrive here and successfully grasp the General Principles Inheritance Chapter of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯ while peeking into the past, we can ask their help to confirm some of our theories. Additionally… If Senior White decides to come, he will head here.”
Pavilion Master Chu nodded and said, “Alright.”
Sister White Dragon said, “Then, before the other trial takers get here, let me give you some basic knowledge.”
“I will fill you in on anything that Fairy White Dragon leaves out or gets wrong,” said Pavilion Master Chu. As long as there was even the slightest mistake in what Fairy White Dragon said, she would rush to correct it.
“Don’t worry. With my level, it is impossible to make mistakes when explaining such basic stuff,” Sister White Dragon said confidently. “You will never have the chance to correct me.”
Pavilion Master Chu said slowly, “Hoh~ Not necessarily.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Sixteen: “…”
Sister White Dragon began with her lecture.
The value of an Immortal’s lecture, even if they were talking about relatively basic knowledge of magical technique, would not change.
Song Shuhang listened carefully. Sixteen, who was on his left, also listened.
The black-skinned Soft Feather, who had her hands wrapped around her knees, sat to his right and was listening as well.
As Sister White Dragon’s lecture began, it resonated with the Great Way. The sound of bells ringing could be heard, and various phenomena unceasingly appeared one after the other.
Song Shuhang really wanted to bring out Lady Onion and the others who were in the Inner World to listen to Sister White Dragon’s lecture. Unfortunately, the Inner World was still unavailable.
While listening to Sister White Dragon’s lecture, they seemed to enter a wonderful world.
Pavilion Master Chu was not able to find any loopholes in her lecture, and her single strand of hair became rather listless.
The over one hundred thousand crystals around them became active and began shimmering nonstop.
The spiritual energy in the air resonated with the lecture, gathering around them like a whirlpool.
Moisturized by the spiritual energy, Song Shuhang’s wooden body became restless once again.
Fresh shoots and branches emerged from his body.
The vitality of the wooden body was incredible, and one branch after the other was harvested. In just a little over ten days, Song Shuhang had acquired enough raw materials for the disposable flying swords to fill half a room.
“Eh? Something smells good.” The black-skinned Soft Feather could not help but start sniffing around as she smelled a pleasant scent.
The aroma was something that even the Immortal lecture could not suppress, so she was unable to simply ignore it.
It was not only her, as even Sixteen noticed the strange fragrance.
The two sniffed with their little noses, and their eyes finally fell on the source of the strange fragrance—the waist of Song Shuhang’s wooden body.
At his waist, there was a fruit exuding colorful rays of light. The fruit had just matured.
This strange fruit was different from the other fruits on Song Shuhang’s wooden body. The other fruits matured very quickly, and a small wave of spiritual energy could cause a whole batch of them to mature.
Yet, this specific fruit needed Demon Emperor Hezhi’s energy, the Heavenly Emperor’s path of time, the nourishment of Shuhang’s spiritual energy several times a day, and the spiritual energy from Sister White Dragon’s lecture plus the various phenomena before fully maturing.
Anyway, the fragrance was just too strong.
Sister White Dragon had no choice but to stop the lecture as she could not continue to teach with such a situation having come up.
Pavilion Master Chu said, “Shuhang, you should deal with this fruit first. Otherwise, how can the lecture continue?”
Song Shuhang smiled bashfully. He stretched out his hand to pinch the colorful fruit, plucking it off.
“Hss~” When he plucked the fruit, he suddenly gasped.
Unlike the other fruits, when he plucked this seven-colored fruit, a searing pain akin to having his flesh torn off assaulted his senses.
The black-skinned Soft Feather said, “It looks delicious.”
Pavilion Master Chu said reminded them, “Fruits that are too vibrant in color are often poisonous.”
“Let me appraise it.” Song Shuhang’s long hair turned into a small hand and lightly touched the fruit.
The secret appraisal technique was activated.
[Unnamed strange fruit: A fruit produced from the combination of the wooden body and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. Due to having been germinated on his waist, it has come to possess a seven-colored light.]
[Knowledge and wisdom are contained within this miraculous fruit. The incomprehensible knowledge in Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s mind was processed by the wooden body and took the shape of this fruit when combined with the wooden body’s wisdom and other fortuitous encounters.]
[How to take: Orally.]
Song Shuhang held the fruit, unable to speak for a long time.
“Senior Song, is this fruit edible?” the eyes of the black-skinned Soft Feather shone as she asked.
“It’s edible. However, I can’t give you this one for the time being.” Song Shuhang rubbed the fruit lightly. “It’s called the fruit of wisdom. I know how to grow it. I can give you guys the next one.”
“Fruit of wisdom?” Sixteen blinked.
“It imparts wisdom and knowledge.” Song Shuhang opened his mouth and bit on the fruit.
Delicious.
As expected of a fruit grown from his body, its taste was not much worse than the lotus flowers created through the Lotus Blossoming Tongue.
Sister White Dragon was stunned. “It imparts wisdom and knowledge?”
Isn’t this exactly like one of those divine items I mentioned earlier that could pass on knowledge?
The black-skinned Soft Feather gulped and said, “For some reason, watching Senior Song eat a fruit feels like cannibalism to me.”
“It’s a little inappropriate to use the word cannibalism,” Pavilion Master Chu said. “I feel that the phrase ‘eat the fruit of your own making’ is more appropriate.”
“Fairy Chu’s take is excellent.” Sister White Dragon nodded. She also thought of that phrase.
Sixteen asks, “Is it effective?”
“I don’t know. It hasn’t done anything yet.” Song Shuhang rubbed his hands.
“I have a question,” the black-skinned Soft Feather mused. “Senior Song, you only have your head left, so can you even digest the ‘wisdom fruit’ you just ate?”
