Starting that day, the three of them stayed in the cave to train their body and also digest the fruit. The soothing effect in their body only lasted for a few hours, so they could take another one after it had ended. Of course, they would take a bath soon afterwards because of the sticky substance that came out.

While they were waiting for the effect to wear off, the three of them sparred against one another. For Lu Wan, it was the time to stabilize his new rank while Qi Huan and Ye Jiao slowly increased their control to reach rank 2.

Time passed swiftly.

"Now, it'll only take a few minutes before the effect wears off," Lu Wan frowned.

Ye Jiao passed a fruit to Lu Wan. "Don't complain. It just means that the fruit is not going to be effective anymore because the amount of impurities in our body has started to exceed the limit it can take."

"Yeah. But the two of you no longer take any now."

"There's no more effect for me. I only feel warm without any impurities coming out anymore. You're the only one left, Senior Brother Lu," Ye Jiao responded. She stood up and stretched out.

Qi Huan nodded. "It means this brat is the one who loves to eat random food amongst the three of us."

"Senior Brother Lu is really a glutton."

"Hey! I never eat anything random!" Lu Wan yelled in annoyance. He felt that the combination of these two tongues would be the death of him someday. As they stayed together, Ye Jiao started to learn more advanced skills in taunting others from Qi Huan, proving herself to be a quick learner.

Ye Jiao shook her head. "is it not the poisons that you digest all this time, Senior Brother Lu? I believe they can count as random food."

"I heard that you already invented a few new poisons again."

"…"

Lu Wan didn't want to hear anything else as he continued to eat the fruit and direct the Eon Energy from the fruit all over his body.

Ye Jiao pointed to the fruits. "How are we going to divide it?"

"I'll take around 100 with me," Qi Huan replied. "Even though it's not that expensive, the amount circulated in the market is limited. Eating them like candies like what we did for the past two weeks or so is clearly impossible in normal times."

"Right."

Even if they could buy a lot of them, who would want to spare a lot of money just for something that they could do by themselves when they reached rank 3? It was only those who came from rich families and had great talent would be able to buy them at a large amount.

Even Qi Huan was only given 10 each year because of the price and the effect. After taking 10, the effect would be greatly reduced until there was none at all, so nobles usually only used 10 or so.

"What do you plan to do with the rest?" Ye Jiao asked.

Even if they took all the fruits, as long as the tree was still here, there was no need to worry about it running out. It would surely grow up by itself again and fill the place with numerous fruits.


"You can take them and sell them at a moderate amount," Qi Huan responded. "They won't check your bracelet because your age made it easy to fool them that you're not an Eon Energy Master. Taking some of them shouldn't hurt."

"That's a great idea. Should I share the money with you?"

"No need," Qi Huan laughed. "I earn more than 20 gold each month, so I have more than enough for my daily expense and training."

"Right, training. What kind of training do you usually do, Senior Brother Qi?"

"There are several special rooms in the palace. A place filled with Eon Energy, a place with higher gravity, and even with formation training," Qi Huan explained. "As the prince, I can use them all according to the allocation time and use my money for more time if I want to exceed the designation time they assign for me."

"I see."

"I also use my money to buy herbs for medicinal baths every day and usually, they cost 50 silver or more."

"Per use?"

"Yes."

Ye Jiao tilted her head. "What's the use of those baths?"

"The medicine can help me to absorb more Eon Energy into my body and also make my muscle stronger," Qi Huan punched out. "My stamina and strength become much stronger because the herbs pushed Eon Energy into them."

Now that he mentioned it, Ye Jiao recalled that Qi Huan has much more stamina compared to the two of them. This prince didn't even have the time to rest and yet he was still able to fight continuously despite the fact that they didn't have any Eon Energy back then.

"You're amazing, Senior Brother Qi."

"I have advantage in my talent and background, so I should aim for a better head start," Qi Huan smiled. "I'll help you gather the fruits. We should be able to leave the cave in a few more hours after Lu Wan finished his training."

"Ok!"

The number of fruits left in the cave easily exceeded one thousand. Even excluding the one hundred that Qi Huan took and the two hundred fruits that Lu Wan took, there were still more than one thousand left for Ye Jiao. Plucking all of them took quite a considerable amount of time.

"There are still some left, but I don't think we should take them all," Lu Wan stretched out his body. 

"I guess we already have enough fruits," Qi Huan also agreed. The tree has almost become bare because of their attempt to pick them all, so they should leave some behind.

"How is it, Jiao'er?"

"Jiao'er?"

The girl didn't respond as Ye Jiao was crouching down on the ground. When she gathered the fruits just now, she sensed denser Eon Energy coming from one direction. After digging the dirt a bit, she found a strange rock.

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Qi, I found a strange rock."

"Rock?" Lu Wan approached Ye Jiao. He picked up the rock and scrutinized it with a frown. "Isn't this just ordinary rock?"

Ye Jiao's eyes widened. "There's faint Eon Energy coming from the rock. Can't you sense it?"

"I can't," Qi Huan admitted. He took the rock and examined it too as his brows creased. There was not even a trace of Eon Energy he could sense from the rock. "There's nothing for me."

"That's weird."

Taking the stone back, Ye Jiao could feel the warm feeling of Eon Energy coming from the rock. It was warm and comforting for her.

Lu Wan scratched the back of his head. "We can try to ask Master about it later."

"Yeah. Let's go back and continue to hunt. We'll be left behind in the ranking if this continues."

Ye Jiao still wanted to know more about the rock, but there was no one around them whom she could ask. She kept the rock inside her storage bracelet as she nodded her head to the others.

"Alright, let's go back to hunt."
