Based on his inherent impressions, Liszt had always thought that the three Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits would be discovered within his territory, or at least, appear in his vicinity.
Unexpectedly, they were found on a solitary island in the vast sea.
The withered tree was less than a ter tall, and on its dead branches hung three fist-sized fruits with a rainbow luster, resembling apples but rounder.
There was not a trace of scent emitted, nor the slightest loss of magic power.
If he closed his eyes, no matter how Liszt tried to sense the magic power floating in the air around him, he could not detect the existence of these three Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits.
Only when he used the Eye of Magic could he feel the astonishing magic power beneath the rainbow luster.
The light reflected by the magic power showed a rich hue of chaos – a hue of chaos is akin to a gray, foggy haze, but even more peculiar. Upon closer inspection, it seed gray, but when studied more carefully, it appeared almost transparent and illusory; yet from another angle, it could beco substantial smoke.
Neither black nor white, seeming illusionary yet real, like fog and haze.
"The concentration of magic power almost reaches saturation; it far exceeds any other fruit with magic power, including the Bloodline Fruit. Such powerful magic power indeed has the potential to bewilder a dragon!" Liszt did not hurry to pick the fruits; instead, he observed the fruits and the withered tree over and over again.
He confird that the withered tree was indeed dead, with no signs of revival.
Yet, he couldn't bear to leave it behind, so he directly took out a bone spade from the Gemstone Space and began to carefully dig around the roots of the withered tree, planning to place the three Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits into his Gemstone Space along with the tree— such precious items must be treated with care.
After more than an hour of digging, he finally lifted the entire clump of soil without damaging the roots of the tree and then wrapped it with Dou Qi and stuffed it into the Gemstone Space, which he had cleared out in advance.
Inside the space, the three Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits still shone brightly.
Liszt let out a long sigh of relief, "Phew, that's settled! Next ti I go to Dodo Island for training, I'll feed one to Little Fire Dragon Leo and see the effects! If Leo is bewitched, I'll ride straight to Dragon Tooth Platform, 'violently court' before signing a contract, and settle the rest later!"

Having spent so much effort to revive Leo and taken care of it for so long, he found it a volcano to train in and transported food for it.
He tended to it like a parent, yet it wouldn't even let him ride.
Facing such an evil dragon.
Liszt was filled with resentnt, so employing such a dishonorable forceful thod, he felt no guilt, "It's not like I killed it; would a ride kill it?"
He looked at the large hole he left behind.
Liszt dusted off his hands and surveyed the fern forest at the top of the solitary island once more, scanning back and forth with the Eye of Magic and found no plants with magic power. He also didn't see plants similar in height and shape to the withered tree with the naked eye, confirming that there was nothing more of value here.
"But I can't say it's without value. Who knows, another seedling bearing the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits might grow here... I'll na this island Mind Island; not only is it a landing spot on the sea, but it could also potentially nurture new Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits. I must keep a close eye on this island in the future."
The solitary island was nad Mind Island and the withered tree was nad the Mind Fruit Tree.
Afterward, Liszt dove into the sea and left Mind Island, continuing his voyage towards the waters near Roaring River Mouth. The weather in September gradually turned cool. In the blink of an eye, Liszt, Ach, and Ros had been roaming this sea area for two days without finding the ruins indicated on the Ruins Map.
They didn't sense the presence of any old Sea Serpents either.
They hadn't even discovered a single deserted island; however, they encountered several sea monsters, all of which Ach easily hunted and then left for Liszt to barbeque at sea.
In the Gemstone Space, there were charcoal, hot pots, and other cooking equipnt for them to enjoy barbeque freely on the sea.

Barbecuing was not only Liszt's favorite, but Ros also loved it very much, so he didn't feel any rush as the days went by like this.
Especially after a fulfilling al, listening to Ach's lodious and sweet singing was absolutely a top-notch pleasure.
"It's a pity there's no piano in the scene..." Liszt felt regretful once more, as occasionally playing the piano could cultivate one's sentints and smooth out restless emotions.
But just as he was lost in his thoughts.
Ach's singing suddenly stopped, and she exclaid with surprise, "Ah, brother, Ach senses the presence of our kin, there's a sea serpent nearby!"
Liszt instantly rolled out of the sampan's cabin, "Really, can you pinpoint the sea serpent's location?"
"It's a bit difficult, the feeling is not very clear, it's elusive." Ach frowned, trying her best to sense her fellow sea creature.
"Rember this spot, now let's swim towards the north and see if the feeling becos clearer!"
A mont later, Ach, who had stopped swimming, shook her head, "Brother, the feeling is gone."
"It seems the sea serpent isn't to the north, let's head back!"
After returning.
The sensation appeared again.
This ti Liszt directed them to head south, but once they reached the south, the feeling broke off again. They returned to their starting point and set out westward, swimming a full ten kiloters. This ti, the sensation not only persisted but also beca clearer.
"This is the right direction, let's keep moving!"
While swimming, Liszt would occasionally leap up and scan the surroundings with a telescope. After such a long search, it was almost certain that the sea serpent hadn't moved, and its stillness likely ant it was hidden among so coral reefs. Discovering suspicious islands or coral reefs could very well be where the sea serpent was hiding.
In this way, they continued to explore.
Depending on the telepathic connection between Ach and the sea serpent, they finally found a coral reef that had erged due to the low tide before dark. It was an underwater reef that hadn't surfaced, but one could see the white outline of the reef's circular island, lurking just one or two ters below the water.
Similar to the coral reef in Fresh Flower Town, this Coral Island was also circular, with a shallow lake in the center of the coral ring, completely surrounded by the taller corals.
Around this large coral reef, there were several smaller ones, also subrged.
At high tide, they were almost invisible, only their outlines faintly discernible at low tide.
"We've arrived, Ach, let's look around," Liszt said without hesitation, using his Eye of Magic to survey back and forth among the coral reefs.
After searching for a long ti, even as the moon rose, they still hadn't found the sea serpent's hiding place.
Out of options, he had Ach try calling out the sea serpent with her singing. Ach's ethereal, pure, and lodious voice echoed among the coral reefs.
A mont later.
Suddenly, a distant, small coral island emitted a misty, sorrowful, and delicate song in response to Ach's. This voice was equally beautiful, but compared to the innocence and naivety in Ach's voice, it was more mature and luscious, hinting at many underlying stories.
Liszt was not in the mood for listening to singing; he directly locked onto the position of the elderly sea serpent and called Ach to rush to its location imdiately.
