Ye Qing nodded slightly and waved goodbye to the Great Sage of Hundred Flowers. He then stood guard near the Devil Fruit, waiting for it to ripen.
The Devil Fruit was still in a green state, and he didn't know when it would truly mature.
Ye Qing asked the system. According to the system's judgment, it would take at least a month to harvest the Devil Fruit, which was a bit long.
Ye Qing felt helpless. It would be a waste of time to wait for a month.
He suddenly thought of a very good idea. The growth of the fruit required life essence.
It just so happened that Ye Qing had a treasure stored in the system space. It was an extremely rare treasure in the world, the Sacred Tree of Life!
The moment he took out the Sacred Tree of Life, a vigorous Life Essence was released, nourishing the growing Devil Fruit.
With the help of a large amount of Life Essence, the Devil Fruit's growth speed was obviously much faster.
The true disciples present were all stunned, and their eyes were filled with envy. The Sacred Tree of Life that Ye Qing took out was definitely a treasure. It could be said to be heaven-defying, and it could accelerate the ripening of the Devil Fruit.
Under the nourishment of a large amount of Life Essence, the Devil Fruit that would have taken a month to ripen would probably only take a day or two to harvest.
However, it was useless for the onlookers to be envious. The Sacred Tree of Life and the Devil Fruit were Ye Qing's treasures, and they could only watch.
After Ye Qing took out the Sacred Tree of Life, the nearby true disciples began to run away.
In the eyes of the true disciples, the Devil Fruit in front of them had nothing to do with them. It was better to give up on those unrealistic ideas.
Among them, there were also some true disciples who kept discussing when they left, connecting Ye Qing and Cai Xukun. They believed that the act of selling fake and inferior Devil Fruits and the act of selling snail powder was very likely related.
Perhaps it was a criminal gang. Many people were cursing Ye Qing and Cai Xukun in their hearts. However, they really couldn't do anything to Ye Qing. They could only secretly swear in their hearts that they would never eat snail rice noodles again.
The Devil Fruit was in the process of growing, and under the nourishment of the Sacred Tree of Life, it grew very quickly.
In just one day, Ye Qing had successfully cultivated a mature Devil Fruit. It was a black Devil Fruit, and contained an unimaginable amount of energy.
"System, hurry up and help me check the effects of the Devil Fruit!"
Ye Qing sent out a telepathic thought to communicate with the system in his sea of consciousness. Soon, he received a response from the system.
"Ding! Host, please wait for a moment!"
Under the control of the system, the Devil Fruit floated in the air and emitted a dark luster like a black gem.
About two minutes later, the system finished its inspection and figured out the effect of the Devil Fruit. It turned out to be the Biscuit Fruit!
To put it simply, the Biscuit Fruit's effect was to release thousands of biscuits and control them to do battle.
The corners of Ye Qing's mouth twitched. The Biscuit Fruit's effects sounded good and fun, but in fact, to Ye Qing, the Biscuit Fruit wasn't of much help.
After thinking about it again and again, Ye Qing thought that the evil mage leader Oreo was more suitable.
Oreo was an expert in magic. After eating the Biscuit Fruit, she could release a large number of biscuits and control them to do long-range combat.
Controlling each biscuit required a large amount of soul power. With the strength of Ye Qing's soul power, he could naturally do it, but there wasn't much of a need.
Apart from Ye Qing, Oreo was the only one with enough soul power to control a group of biscuits at the same time.
If Oreo ate the Biscuit Fruit, her combat strength would definitely increase greatly. Controlling the biscuits from a distance would allow her to kill a large number of enemies!
"Alright, it's decided then!"
Ye Qing chuckled, deciding on the Biscuit Fruit's ownership. He had always been generous to his brothers in the Army of Cheats.
In addition, to be honest, with Ye Qing's horrifying combat strength, there was no need for the biscuit fruit. With two heaven-defying Saint artifacts, many heaven-defying Saint rank weapons, and the support of the Face Fruit, Ye Qing was more than enough to sweep through the crowd.
A vast Divine Sense was transmitted as Ye Qing tried to contact Oreo, Nasus, and Black Flame.
They were still training in various areas of the Demon Deity Dojo. They had received news from Ye Qing, but it would take some time for them to reach Ye Qing's side.
The Demon Deity Dojo was vast and boundless. The evil mage leader Oreo and the Infernal Demon Hound Nasus were nowhere to be seen.
Ye Qing simply waited in place. On one hand, he took out a large number of high-quality demon crystals and started refining and absorbing them.
To Ye Qing, he could absorb any attribute of energy and store them all. There was no problem of him going berserk.
Piles of high quality demon crystals, as if they were free, were placed beside Ye Qing and piled up into a small hill.
These demon crystals were all obtained from treasure chests or excavated from ore veins.
Every high-quality demon crystal was extremely valuable, but Ye Qing treated them like dirt and didn't attach any importance to them.
As time passed, many demon crystals were refined and absorbed by Ye Qing. The demonic power within Ye Qing's body continuously condensed, climbing to the peak of the 1st layer of the Great Sage realm!
The small mountain of demon crystals was completely refined and absorbed by Ye Qing. He condensed a pair of demonic wings that flickered with a boundless black luster. Compared to before, they were even dimmer and deeper.
The demonic wings condensed by demons were often a symbol of strength. The more condensed the demonic wings were, the more powerful they were.
After his cultivation reached the peak of the 1st layer of the Great Sage realm, Ye Qing couldn't advance any further in a short period of time and could only give up for the time being.
It just so happened that while he was cultivating, Oreo, Nasus, and Black Flame had all returned. The five little brothers gathered around Ye Qing. They were full of vigor and vigor. After going through an experience, their strength had increased by a lot.
Especially the Grass Mud Horse, who had been nurtured by Ye Qing. After refining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, its strength had advanced by leaps and bounds and it had already reached the Great Sage realm.
"Alright, Brothers, it's time for us to leave the Demonic Dojo. According to the system's judgment, the Demonic Dojo no longer has the Devil Fruit that we need, and the other treasures don't catch my eye."
Ye Qing indifferently said as he led his brothers through the air, shuttling through the Demonic Dojo.
Leaving the Demonic Dojo was very simple. There was a special teleportation array in the Demonic Dojo. As long as one used the teleportation array, they could leave at any time.
Under Ye Qing's lead, the group flew through the air, flying over the mountains and rivers. As they passed through the valley, Ye Qing glanced down and almost fainted from the stench.
The five underlings beside him also smelled the stench coming from below and vomited on the spot.
The stench in the valley didn't fade for a long time. Ever since Ye Qing left, many latrines had been built in the valley.
A large number of True Disciples had diarrhea because they ate the snail powder made by Ye Qing. A few days had already passed, and they still hadn't gotten better.
In order to make it easier to go to the latrines, they adopted the principle of proximity and built latrines in the valley. Now, the entire valley was filled with latrines, and the stench was overwhelming.
Only the heavens knew how the True Disciples in the valley survived. It was simply insane.
After Ye Qing glanced at the valley's situation, he didn't dare to continue looking. Even with his willpower, he almost vomited on the spot. The current valley was a veritable cesspool …
