Chapter 8: Azure Cloud FruitFive years later.Bored, so incredibly bored. Every day, Xiao Jinqi complained about how dull everything was. Their lives were like stagnant water—nothing but cultivation and sword practice. At first, he had been quite interested; after all, what young man didn’t dream of becoming a master?But after swinging his sword ten thousand times, he grew weary. Even with Yan Yuheng guiding him in swordsmanship, he felt nothing but aversion. Yan Yuheng, not wanting to provoke his temper, simply told him to take a break.He knew he should devote his time to cultivation and sword practice, but he was utterly tired of this repetitive, day-in, day-out existence. He wasn’t truly a part of the cultivation world; he couldn’t bear the life of meditating day after day. He wanted to return to Blue Star. He wanted to play video games, even engage in competitive sports like basketball or soccer, or go to KTV to sing, to let loose at a bar. Even if he couldn’t return to Blue Star, just seeing other people would be better—visiting the market district would be far more interesting than this.It had been too long since he had seen another living soul. He felt that if he continued cultivating like this, he would develop an Inner Demon.The system hadn’t appeared for a long time either, probably because it hadn’t found a way out.That day, after saying hello to Yan Yuheng, Xiao Jinqi decided to go out and wander around. After five years of exploration, Yan Yuheng felt comfortable letting him go out alone. After all, they were familiar with where the Demonic Beasts roamed in this area. As long as he didn’t foolishly venture into the Cultivation Caves of beasts above the sixth rank, he would be safe.Xiao Jinqi flew a great distance using Sword Flight.Looking left and right, he suddenly discovered a hidden cave.He was certain he hadn’t seen this cave before. After confirming there was no danger nearby, he couldn’t resist pushing aside the vines covering the entrance.It had been so long since he’d felt this kind of heart-pounding excitement, and it thrilled him.Brushing away the tangled thorns and vines, light filtered through the gaps. Following the light to where it nearly faded, he saw a small tree with a few sparse green fruits hanging from its branches. The fruits looked similar to modern wax apples in shape. Moving closer, he caught a faint, strawberry-like fragrance. He guessed this was a mutated variety of wax apple in the cultivation world and couldn’t resist picking one to taste. “Hmm, not bad—it’s just like a wax apple. Even the taste is the same: plump, juicy, refreshing, and not overly sweet.” Aside from its jade-green color, which made it look like an unripe wax apple, everything else was identical.After eating a few, he rested for a while, then picked a couple more to carry in his robes before returning to the Cultivation Cave.“Brother Heng, look, I found some kind of fruit. It’s really delicious, sweet and juicy. Try it.”Five years of living together had gradually familiarized the two strangers. Especially after Yan Yuheng often took care of him, Xiao Jinqi’s attitude had softened considerably. They were no longer in a master-disciple relationship, so Xiao Jinqi didn’t address him as “Senior” or “Martial Brother” but as “Brother Heng.”“What? You ate it?” The person who had just relaxed upon seeing Xiao Jinqi return now felt his heart leap into his throat.Azure Cloud Fruit—in ancient times, it had been widely popular in the cultivation world for a long period. This fruit, when consumed during dual cultivation, would cause a new tissue to grow on the abdomen of the receptive partner, regardless of gender, and life would gestate within this layer of tissue.“Brother Heng, I’m so hot. Do you have any water?” he said, already starting to remove his clothes."Xiao Bao, wake up a bit, check if there's any Vast Sea Flower in the Storage Ring?"This flower is actually quite common in the Cultivation World—small white blossoms that bloom in vast clusters. When the wind blows through them, they shimmer like stars twinkling in an endless sea of stars, hence the name Vast Sea Flower.It’s unclear whether Leng Lingyuan forgot to transplant Vast Sea Flowers when creating this space or if there was some other reason, but none grow in this Secret Realm."What Vast Sea Flower? I don’t have any. Why are you asking?"Xiao Jinqi, this fake cultivator, had no idea such a thing even existed. The system was nowhere to be found, and no one could remind him.
