Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 660: Hundred Spirits Fruit

Jiang Liu opened his Mission List to check, within which there were still two Divine Level Quests that showed as incomplete.

The first Divine Level Quest was to help Sun Wukong realize his feelings for Zixia.

This quest had been outstanding for a long time, never completed despite Jiang Liu's numerous efforts to matchmake them. However, this monkey was as unyielding as steel, with a heart as steadfast as a rock.

For the current Jiang Liu, the Experience Points from this Divine Level Quest were insignificant, but of course, the most crucial aspect was the Divine Level Treasure Chest that would pop out upon completion of the quest.

The second Divine Level Quest was to rescue Gaoyang from the control of the Buddhist Sect.

This quest also continually showed as incomplete, which deeply furrowed Jiang Liu's brows.

It had been so long; why was this quest still incomplete? Could it be that Gaoyang had been captured by the Buddhist Sect? Hence, it showed as incomplete?

Above the Quasi-Saint Cultivation Level, was it Tathagata? Maitreya? Or possibly Randeng?

It was indeed strange. So much time had passed, yet there was still no response from Gaoyang. Had Gaoyang remained in a comatose state of unconsciousness for so long?

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Or was it that Gaoyang had gone to a strange place, one that even severed the contact of his game system's friend function?

Therefore, was the quest functionality also stuck?

It was like the satellite navigation of the past, where a car parked on the street would naturally be locatable on the map.

But what if that car instantaneously moved to Mars?

On the car's navigation system, the screen would probably freeze, right? Still showing that it was in its original place?

"Perhaps, there really is such a possibility!" As he pondered this to himself, Jiang Liu felt that there were only these two possibilities.

First, Gaoyang was still in the hands of the Buddhist Sect, hence the quest remained incomplete, and the lack of response was due to being in a comatose state.

Second, because Gaoyang had gone to a strange place that even his game system's abilities could not bridge, therefore, no information could be sent back to him, and the quest could not be completed.

Of course, for Jiang Liu, these were all just his speculations—the actual truth of the matter was unclear as he could not contact Gaoyang.

Maybe the truth was nothing like he imagined?

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Liu also took a moment to check the attribute information of Sun Wukong and the others.

Their levels had not changed, which was expected. After all, the higher the Cultivation Level, the more difficult it became to level up—oftentimes taking a hundred years to advance just one level, which for those of Journey to the West, was entirely normal.

"Huh? Xiaobai isn't doing too badly!" However, while thinking, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on White Dragon Horse, and he felt a slight stir in his heart.

It turned out that at some point, White Dragon Horse had advanced from level 67 to 68, getting progressively closer to the state of a Taiyi True Immortal.

Was it because he had been running dungeons with him for so long, which also provided some feedback in Experience Points?

"Master, there is Demon Qi…"

Just as Jiang Liu was reviewing Little White Dragon Aolie's attribute information and pondering his own issues, suddenly, Sun Wukong spoke.

His words slightly stirred Jiang Liu's heart, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, Demon Qi?

So, it meant some Demon Creatures had delivered themselves to their doorstep?

"Holy Monk Xuanzang…" Just then, suddenly, a female voice called out from behind them.

Jiang Liu and the others turned around to see a woman dressed in an orange robe, briskly catching up, holding a large basket in her hand.

"Is it her?" Jiang Liu thought to himself with a flicker of surprise as he looked at the orange-robed Female Demon catching up to them.

He naturally recognized this Female Demon, one of the seven Spider Demonesses from the Pansi Spider Cave.

"Holy Monk, I finally caught up with you!" the orange-robed Female Demon said breathlessly as she reached Jiang Liu and the others.

"Benefactor, what is this?" Jiang Liu asked curiously, looking at the orange-robed Female Demon.

If it weren't for Zhu Bajie speaking up to spare them before, they would all have been killed by his hand, right?

Having barely spared their lives, they should have been terrified of coming near him and his companions, right?

Unexpectedly, they had taken the initiative to follow him? Were they not afraid of death?

"Holy Monk, here's the thing…" The orange-robed Female Demon took a few steps forward, handed over the basket she was carrying, and at the same time, lifted the cloth covering the basket to reveal five bright red fruits inside.

"You spared the lives of us sisters from Pansi Spider Cave, and we are very grateful. Also, when you and your companions passed by Pansi Spider Cave, we did not even express our gratitude. These are the Hundred Spirits Fruits we have treasured for many years; consuming them will increase your Cultivation Level. I especially came up to let you and the monks have a taste!" she said earnestly, her gaze settling on Jiang Liu.

Their eldest sister died by Xuanzang's hand, yet he kept it a secret from his disciples and went to kill under the guise of secrecy.

Thus, by saying they were grateful for their lives being spared and bringing Spirit Fruits to express their thanks, he should have no reason to refuse.

Indeed, as the Female Demon watched Xuanzang intently, she noticed his expression hesitating slightly.

Moreover, he gave himself a meaningful look.

Despite being stared at, the woman in orange, a Female Demon, did not feel uneasy but stared back seriously, exuding an air of confidence.

"Hahaha, sister, you guys are really too polite!" Before Jiang Liu could say anything, Zhu Bajie on the side was very happy and took the basket of fruits from the hands of the Female Demon.

Looking inside, there were exactly five fragrant fruits, and Zhu Bajie immediately took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Bajie!" Jiang Liu couldn't help but shout when he saw Bajie eat without a second thought.

"Master?" With the fruit at his lips, Zhu Bajie looked at Jiang Liu with some confusion.

Jiang Liu hesitated, his gaze landing on the so-called Hundred Spirits Fruit. He could see that the Attribute Information of this Hundred Spirits Fruit was somewhat off.

Hundred Spirits Fruit (consumable): After consumption, can obtain 10% of the Experience Points needed for leveling up, effective below level 80. Also, after consumption, it causes side effects depending on the individual's constitution; ineffective upon subsequent consumption.

The effects of the Hundred Spirits Fruit were strong, granting 10% of the Experience Points needed for leveling up as long as one was below level 80?

Now at level 69, he needed 18 billion Experience Points to level up, so after eating it, he would gain 1.8 billion Experience Points, right?

But, the fact that it causes different side effects based on one's constitution?

That seemed a bit off.

"No, no problem..." Watching Zhu Bajie's demeanor, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

Side effects? Then let Zhu Bajie be the test subject. Since it's just side effects, they should disappear after a while.

After all, with himself here, even if Zhu Bajie were to die, he could be resurrected, so letting Zhu Bajie test the effects wasn't a bad idea.

"Alright!"

Giving Jiang Liu a strange look, not understanding why his master had just stopped him, Zhu Bajie didn't think too much of it and, opening his mouth wide, swallowed the Spirit Fruit in one gulp.

"Bajie, how do you feel?" Jiang Liu asked after Zhu Bajie swallowed the Spirit Fruit.

"Hm? Master, I feel a very strong power emerging!" Zhu Bajie's face twitched slightly as he spoke.

In the midst of speaking, a powerful aura burst out from him, thick and robust.

"Just a 10% increase in the Experience Points needed for leveling up, and such a big reaction?" Seeing Zhu Bajie's reaction, Jiang Liu was inwardly astonished.

At the same time, he opened Zhu Bajie's character UI to look.

"Huh? Leveled up!?" Seeing Zhu Bajie's character UI, Jiang Liu was secretly startled.

Yes, Zhu Bajie's character level was originally at 78, a blue UI, but now, he had advanced to level 79.

"It seems that Zhu Bajie was close to leveling up, and this Hundred Spirits Fruit directly helped him level up?" Watching Zhu Bajie's level rise, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A mighty aura erupted from Zhu Bajie, his Qi running wild, making him appear extremely formidable, a terrifying Demon Qi sweeping through, almost like a Demon Qi tornado.

"Alright, Bajie, better gather this power quickly!" After a moment, seeing Zhu Bajie's wild aura, Jiang Liu spoke up to remind him.

"I can't! Master, even though my power has increased, I am having a hard time controlling it!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie's face looked strained as he shouted.

"Can't control your power? Could this be the side effect?" Zhu Bajie's words caused Jiang Liu to inwardly stir.

On closer examination of Zhu Bajie's state, indeed, Zhu Bajie had a side effect status of Demon Qi Running Wild, lasting 7200 seconds.

"Demon Qi out of control, running wild for two hours? Looks like this side effect isn't too severe!" Seeing this development, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

"Hehehe, if eating this fruit can enhance Cultivation Level, I, Old Sun, want to give it a try too!" Sun Wukong, seeing Zhu Bajie's condition, thought it seemed rather amusing and picked up a Hundred Spirits Fruit to eat as well.

After gnawing a few bites, he swallowed it whole and then smacked his lips, finding the taste of the fruit quite good.

But after waiting a long time, he felt nothing.

"Oh no, it's not good, Master, I, Old Sun, need to go for a moment!" After waiting a moment without any increase in power, instead, Sun Wukong clutched his buttocks and after dropping this line, disappeared from sight.

"Poor Monkey, at level 81, the Hundred Spirits Fruit can't enhance his Cultivation Level, but the side effect is for real, huh?" Watching Sun Wukong disappear, Jiang Liu shook his head secretly.

As Sun Wukong ran far away, a translucent character UI in front of Jiang Liu also vanished.

Since Sun Wukong also ate a Hundred Spirits Fruit, naturally, Jiang Liu had checked Sun Wukong's status as well.

Sun Wukong didn't gain any Experience Points, but he did acquire a side effect of diarrhea.

The duration was also 7200 seconds.
