The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: The True Efficacy of the Life Essence Pearl_1

Carson Flores retreated immediately while throwing out the Tortoise Shell Shield and drawing the Three Provinces Sword.

A thick green liquid brushed past Carson Flores and hit the rock wall beside him, causing the solid rock to instantly emit green smoke, melting away as quickly as cream.

Carson Flores’s pupils constricted, the toxicity was incredibly strong!

Carson Flores continued to retreat, partly to put some distance between them and partly for fear of destroying the Vermilion Blood Fruits during the fight.

A stench filled the air as a huge black snake bristling with hard scales burst out of the cave. Its head was as big as a fighting bowl, and it sported hard, fin-like bone spurs on its neck, which fanned out like the bones of a fan, sharp and terrifying.

Black Armor Bone Spur Python!

Carson Flores was not alarmed but delighted, because those bone spurs around the neck of the Black Armor Bone Spur Python were incredibly valuable!

Each bone spur was extremely hard, even harder than steel, making them excellent materials for forging Magic Artifacts. Besides the bone spurs, the gallbladder of the Black Armor Bone Spur Python could be used to craft high-grade Detoxification Pills and was likewise very valuable, as was the snake venom, which would also find buyers.

Vermilion Blood Fruit, Black Armor Bone Spur Python, this was truly a windfall!

The strength of a young Black Armor Bone Spur Python could match a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment level, while an adult was on par with the Golden Core Realm, and this one was clearly an adult.

Carson Flores was not afraid; in fact, he was somewhat excited.

Carson Flores charged forward with the Three Provinces Sword in hand.

Half an hour later, the entire valley was battered and torn, the previously imposing Black Armor Bone Spur Python now lay on the ground, covered in sword wounds dripping with blood, looking quite pitiful.

Carson Flores didn’t fare much better, covered in blood, he stood before the giant snake head, his expression one of exhilarating satisfaction.

This battle had been truly thrilling!

Carson Flores looked down at the long wound on his chest, still oozing blood. It was a cut from one of the python’s bone spurs.

If it hadn’t been for the Tortoise Shell Shield blocking the brunt of the python’s headbutt, the injury would have been more severe than just a scratch from a bone spur.

But in that instant, Carson Flores’s Three Provinces Sword blinded one of its eyes, laying the groundwork for victory.

Carson Flores picked up the Three Provinces Sword, sliced through scales as tough as iron armor, then removed every single bone spur from where they joined at the base of the neck.

These bone spurs could be used to craft projectiles like flying needles, and their power would be significant, possibly even forming a complete set rather than just individual pieces.

Carson Flores carefully removed the poison gland, which still contained a good amount of venom, then found a Demon Core the size of a chicken egg, and finally cut open the python’s belly to extract the gallbladder, completing his collection of the spoils of war.

Carson Flores returned to the Vermilion Blood Fruit tree, picked all the ripe red fruits, then sat down by the cave entrance, taking out the Life Essence Pearl.

He touched his wound with the Life Essence Pearl and injected Spiritual Energy into it. A massive amount of green light spread out, as the Spiritual Energy turned into endless vitality that poured into Carson Flores’s wound, it healed at a rate visible to the naked eye. Not only that, even the slight internal damage caused by the violent impact quickly mended.

He sat for two hours.

Carson Flores looked at his wound, which had completely healed, and his face showed an expression of amazement.

Indeed, it was worthy of being the Cave Heaven’s Treasure!

With the Life Essence Pearl, what need was there to fear injury?

As long as one wasn’t missing limbs, mere wounds could heal in minutes, right?

Carson Flores stood up satisfied, his gaze falling on the nearby Vermilion Blood Fruit tree, when he suddenly froze.

Three fruits glowed red on the Vermilion Blood Fruit tree, emitting a strong fragrance.

Why were there still three ripe Vermilion Blood Fruits?

Hadn’t he already picked all the ripe ones before healing and left only a few still-green fruits?

Carson Flores took a second look, certain it wasn’t a mistake he made while picking earlier, since those three fruits were in an obvious location. If they had been ripe before, he couldn’t have missed them!

Carson Flores’s gaze dropped to the Life Essence Pearl in his hand, could it be because of this?

Could the Life Essence Pearl have an effect on the Vermilion Blood Fruits, ripening those that weren’t mature?

Carson Flores’s heart started thumping wildly.

He restrained his excitement and took the Life Essence Pearl, touching it to a yet-to-ripen green Vermilion Blood Fruit while channeling Spiritual Energy into the pearl.

Carson Flores distinctly felt, much like when healing a wound, the Spiritual Energy transformed into a surge of vitality, quickly pouring into the Vermilion Blood Fruit.

As a copious amount of vitality rushed in, the green skin of the Vermilion Blood Fruit began to subtly change, gradually turning darker green, then changing to blackish red, and finally transitioning to a full red color. A strong fragrance wafted out from the surface of the Vermilion Blood Fruit.

The Vermilion Blood Fruit had indeed ripened!

Carson Flores’s heart overflowed with joy, beating frantically.

The Life Essence Pearl could transform Spiritual Energy into vitality, providing it to the Vermilion Blood Fruit, allowing it to mature in a short time!

If it could ripen Vermilion Blood Fruits, could it also mean that it could accelerate the maturity of other rare treasures, or even enhance the age of some rare treasures?

A hundred-year Lingzhi mushroom ripened into a thousand-year Lingzhi by the Life Essence Pearl?

Riches!

He was really going to strike it rich!
