“Looking for the egg of the Fla Astral Behemoth?”
Leoux’s words reminded Ling Jiu that he had nearly forgotten about the egg of the Fla Astral Behemoth that he left behind on Whitehole 1.
“How long has the egg of the Fla Astral Behemoth been on Whitehole 1, Leoux?” He felt a little embarrassed.
“We went to Whitehole 1 and put the egg of the Fla Astral Behemoth there on July 7th, 2059. It’s August 9th, 2074 today,” Leoux replied. “That is to say, fifteen years and 26 days have passed on Earth. The ti flow on Whitehole 1 is one hundred and thirty tis that of Earth, and so the egg of the Fla Astral Behemoth has been on Whitehole 1 for exactly one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years, three months, and four days.”
“One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years? I can’t believe that we have left it on Whitehole 1 for so long. This is...” Ling Jiu was a little embarrassed. “I wonder how it is now and if it could still rember .”
“Why don’t you take a look?”
“Why not?” Ling Jiu nodded. “But I still have stuff to do before going there.”
“What is it?”
...
Birch Wood Village, Chang’an Base City.
Birch Wood Village was a villa-only, upscale neighborhood where only the rich and the arcanists could afford to live in Chang’an Base City.
In the garden of Zone A’s villa No.13, ng Lijun was watering his Arcana tree.
Since the governnt called on the people to start planting Arcana trees, ng Lijun, an Arcanist, had wasted no ti in cleaning up the garden to plant Arcana saplings.
After half a year, the Arcana saplings had grown sturdily under his care, becoming taller day by day. Now, they had begun to produce Gene Arcana.
The Arcana trees produced little Gene Arcana, so ng Lijun did not want to keep the Gene Arcana to himself. He often ca to the garden with his two-year-old daughter. He knew he had hit the ceiling in his self-cultivation and saw no chance of going any higher, so he hoped to lay a strong foundation for his daughter instead.
ng Lijun believed that as long as his daughter was imrsed in Gene Arcana from a young age, her physique would improve, and she could awaken her Arcana later.
Besides, experts had ntioned on TV that the Gene Arcana on Earth was becoming increasingly richer. Humans were getting stronger and stronger physically, and the probability of awakening Arcanas was climbing in a linear fashion.
The competition would only get more intense in the future, and ng Lijun did not want his daughter to fall behind from the get-go. So, these few Arcana trees were important to him.
“You really care for the plants, eh, Brother ng?” A greeting suddenly rang out.
“Yeah, I’m watering them,” ng Lijun instinctively replied.
However, after that, he found the voice familiar yet strange.
He looked up and saw a young man standing and smiling at him not far away.
“C-Captain Ling Jiu?” ng Lijun was taken aback. “How-How co you’re here?”
ng Lijun could not believe his eyes. Since he and Ling Jiu had only worked together for a short ti, they had rarely seen each other.
Later, as Ling Jiu got stronger and his status got higher, they never contacted each other again. He thought that Ling Jiu had forgotten him.
He did not expect Ling Jiu to visit. This was really...
“I was passing by, and I thought why not drop by to see you.”
Ling Jiu smiled, pointing at the thriving Arcana trees with a smile. “It looks like you really take good care of these Arcana trees.”
“You bet. These are my babies.” ng Lijun put down the watering pot. “Please co inside. You are my VIP now. It’s my pleasure to have you here.”
“That’s so kind of you, but I’m still who I am, just like before.”
When Ling Jiu entered the villa, ng Lijun’s wife was at a loss the mont she recognized Ling Jiu. Luckily, Ling Jiu ca to her rescue.
“Relax, Mrs. ng. I’m just dropping by to see Brother ng. I’ll go in a while.”
Even so, ng Lijun’s wife still served him so tea and fruit.
“Have so tea, Captain Ling.”
“Thank you.”
Ling Jiu took a sip. “How have you been doing all these years, Brother ng?”
“I have been doing great. We followed you and made a lot of money back then,” ng Lijun said with emotion. “Later, disaster struck Lantian Base City, and my entire family perished. We stayed in the wilderness, escaping the catastrophe. But we got disheartened and ca to Chang’an Base City. I spent the money I made in the previous years to buy so real estate. I have been living here in retirent ever since. Everyone started to have their own families, and now, I spend ti with my children and go back to the office to train new recruits when I have ti. It’s a laid-back lifestyle.”
“Glad to hear that.”
Next, the two of them chatted for a while. As they ntioned the other mbers of the Tempest Squad and the Dragon Squad, they learning about the situation of a few others.
Before leaving, Ling Jiu took out a Dinsional Pocket.
“Captain Ling, this is...”
“There are thirty Casmodor fruits here. An ordinary person can beco a stellar being just by consuming one fruit. Please distribute three to each family.”
Ling Jiu then teleported away as he finished speaking.
“The Casmodor divine tree?”
“One Casmodor fruit is enough to make a stellar being?” It knocked the socks off ng Lijun. He could not believe what he had heard. “Th-There-There’s such a magical fruit?”
“Where is Mr. Ling, honey?”
Just then, ng Lijun’s wife ca out with their son.
“He left,” said ng Lijun absentmindedly.
“Left? Why didn’t you ask him to have dinner?” ng Lijun’s wife complained. “He ca all the way here. You should have asked him to stay. He is the famous Ling Jiu!”
ng Lijun shook his head with a forced smile. Ignoring his wife, he opened the Dinsional Pocket and saw 30 fruits that were as large as durians.
He took one Casmodor fruit out cautiously and ate it with excitent.
He had never doubted Ling Jiu’s words nor was he worried that Ling Jiu would harm him. The gap between them was so great that it would be unthinkable for Ling Jiu to want to deceive or harm him.
Half an hour later, ng Lijun was suspended in the air, feeling a powerful energy surging inside him. His strength had increased multiple tis, and he could not hold back his excitent.
“An Ultimate Arcanist! I have finally beco an Ultimate Arcanist! I didn’t know that I would one day beco an Ultimate Arcanist too.”
His wife was even more agog than him. “H-Honey, you-you’ve beco...”
“Yeah, honey, I’ve finally beco sobody thanks to Captain Ling. I couldn’t have done this without Captain Ling.”
After a long ti, the couple cald down. Just as ng Lijun took out his mobile phone to make a call, his wife asked, “What are you doing, honey?”
“I’m calling Chen Feng and the others to co over for the fruits,” ng Lijun said without thinking.
His wife gritted her teeth hesitantly.
“Honey, there are so many of those fruits here. Can you keep one for my brother?”
“Don’t even think about it.”
ng Lijun glared at her. “Captain Ling said, three fruits are to be given to each family. I have to hand over the remaining twenty-seven to Captain Chen and the others. You better perish the thought of getting an extra. Besides, we and our daughter have one each. I will make sure that you two eat it in front of . Are you thinking of giving one to your smart-aleck brother? If he were to beco a stellar being, I don’t know how many people would suffer because of him.”
“I was just asking. Do you really have to say that? Who am I to say otherwise since it’s Ling Jiu’s orders?”
“It’s just so you know.”
