"Another fifteen days, and it should be ripe!" Xiaobai replied.
Hearing this, Ye Ningze nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, we'll guard here for these fifteen days and wait for it to mature!"
Fifteen days was not a long time for Ye Ningze to wait.
During this waiting period, Ye Ningze did not waste time. He continuously refined the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts to temper his physical body.
Time flew by in cultivation. Fifteen days passed quickly.
In this short half-month, Ye Ningze's physical strength alone had reached sixty thousand jin.
The main reason for such a significant breakthrough was the abundance of ferocious beast flesh and blood.
In addition to the large bear that Xiaobai had not finished consuming, and the ferocious beasts Xiaobai had killed in the surrounding area during this period, all were prioritized for Ye Ningze.
Such ample cultivation resources even surpassed the provisions for disciples of the Ye family.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Ningze was able to temper his physical strength to sixty thousand jin within half a month.
"Master, look quickly, that fruit is about to ripen!" Xiaobai shouted loudly.
Hearing Xiaobai's reminder, Ye Ningze quickly ended his cultivation and slowly awoke from his meditation.
With a boom.
The countless primal energies in this world converged into the golden fruit.
After the convergence of primal energy was complete, the fruit before them turned completely golden, with no trace of green remaining.
Finally, the golden fruit before Ye Ningze and Xiaobai became fully mature.
"As expected, it's a good thing!"
Impatient, Ye Ningze leaped forward and plucked the golden fruit, holding it and playing with it.
"Xiaobai, you said your talent improved after consuming this kind of fruit back then?"
Ye Ningze asked casually, "How should this fruit be refined, or should I just swallow it directly?"
Xiaobai replied truthfully, "You can swallow it directly, Master."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningze nodded slightly and, without hesitation, popped the fruit into his mouth.
The golden fruit was not large and could be eaten in one bite.
As the fruit entered his stomach, a powerful warm current surged into Ye Ningze's mind.
The raging torrent transformed into an immense amount of primal energy in his mind. Ye Ningze couldn't hold on and fainted.
At this moment, if one were to observe Ye Ningze's sea of consciousness, they would see points of light constantly flashing. Among them, one was particularly special, possessing a golden halo.
These points of light represented Ye Ningze's talents, and the golden point was his most special talent, the talent for replication.
The mysterious fruit generated a torrent of primal energy that continuously flowed into the golden point, being absorbed by it.
It seemed like a bottomless pit, no matter how much primal energy came, it could be devoured.
During this process.
The golden point in Ye Ningze's sea of consciousness also underwent changes, or rather, a transformation!
...
"I actually fainted!"
After an unknown period, Ye Ningze finally woke up from his unconsciousness.
Upon waking, Ye Ningze felt a trace of fear. Fortunately, he had fainted in a secluded place, far from any human or beast activity.
If there had been ferocious beasts around, Ye Ningze would have been in danger!
Standing up, Ye Ningze saw Xiaobai guarding him nearby.
"Xiaobai, did you faint when you consumed the fruit before?" Ye Ningze inquired.
"I fainted too," Xiaobai said.
"Ugh, then why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Ye Ningze was speechless.
Hearing this, Xiaobai explained with a wronged look, "Master, you didn't ask me before."
Ye Ningze smiled. Indeed, he couldn't blame Xiaobai for this matter. After all, Xiaobai was a ferocious beast with low intelligence, and it was normal for it to be less considerate of certain issues.
"Let's check my talent status."
With a thought, Ye Ningze's talent page appeared before him.
Race: Human.
Cultivation Talent: A-grade.
Speed Talent: S-grade.
Blade Talent: B-grade.
Flame Shadow Talent: C-grade.
Healing Talent: S-grade.
Strength Talent: A-grade.
"Strange, why hasn't my talent improved?"
Ye Ningze was somewhat puzzled.
After all, that golden fruit looked truly extraordinary. If even Xiaobai's talent reached the top tier after eating this fruit, why had his own talent remained unchanged?
"Could it have been added to other talents?"
Seeing that his cultivation talent had not improved, Ye Ningze turned to check his other talents.
However, after Ye Ningze's inspection, he found no signs of growth in other talents.
Instead, his mental power had broken through significantly.
Originally, at the Extraordinary Warrior realm, his mental power could cover a range of thirty meters. Although Ye Ningze had not reached this level yet, he had broken through the bottleneck.
But when Ye Ningze asked Xiaobai and learned that its mental power could also reach thirty meters, he was immediately disheartened.
Of course, Ye Ningze also knew that this was due to Xiaobai's special physique. The physical strength of human warriors could not compare to that of ferocious beasts.
Similarly, their mental power was incomparable.
In fact, for Ye Ningze to have reached this level of mental power in the Grandmaster realm was already commendable.
As long as Ye Ningze was given some time, his mental power would become even stronger.
In addition to his mental power, Ye Ningze also discovered some other changes in himself.
That is, the range of Ye Ningze's talent detection had suddenly expanded to eighty meters. Any creature appearing within this range could have its talent situation seen through by Ye Ningze at a glance.
This made it more convenient for Ye Ningze to replicate talents.
But...
"Sigh, I'm still a bit speechless. After all the effort to obtain this treasure, why are there only so few attribute points? This is just too much!"
Ye Ningze couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Back then, Xiaobai immediately broke through to top-tier talent after swallowing one fruit, but for Ye Ningze, it only added these few attribute points.
However, there had been changes, so it wasn't a loss.
In the end, this treasure was obtained for free.
"There are still ten days before I can replicate talents. I should focus on improving during this time!"
Ye Ningze made up his mind.
While waiting for the time to replicate talents, he planned to hunt ferocious beasts.
This time, Ye Ningze's goal was no longer limited to intermediate ferocious beasts but had shifted to high-level ferocious beasts.
In the following days, Ye Ningze and Xiaobai began to search for high-level ferocious beasts everywhere.
According to Xiaobai, high-level ferocious beasts were not uncommon in the Great Prajna Forest, but due to their strong territorial instincts, they were distributed very sparsely.
Under Xiaobai's guidance, Ye Ningze was able to find and slay them one by one.
Ye Ningze had already discussed with Xiaobai that he would only take the blood of the ferocious beasts, while the corpses would belong to Xiaobai.
After ten days of hunting, Ye Ningze obtained a total of three thousand two hundred portions of high-level ferocious beast blood.
Ye Ningze was quite satisfied with the abundance of cultivation resources, but having more cultivation resources also brought a problem: storage.
