Chapter 53: Evolution

Not only the petals of Jade Lotus was two times bigger than before but the fragrance that was coming out from it was also many time more fragrant than what it was before.

Wait!!

"Oh my god!"

"This....it... it became a rank four medicinal herb." Ye Xiao exclaimed in surprise. Jade Lotus was a rank three medicinal herb but now who knows what kind of changes happen to it inside the colourful mist, it became a rank four medicinal herb.

"This Heavenly Pearl is defying the heavens." Ye Xiao became very surprised. So much so that for a moment he even forgot everything about the competition and only looked at the Jade Lotus with extremely curious gaze.

In his opinion, the Heavenly Pearl was definitely a heaven defying treasure. First of all was the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. This cultivation technique was already heaven defying as it can let him create nine dragons in his sea of consciousness and it does not end here. This cultivation technique can even let him use all of the abilities of those nine dragons as he wishes.

This is already heaven defying enough. But than again there was the three precious memories of three different ancient gods. With enough strength, he can merge with the memories of the three ancient gods and gain all of the knowledge of them and can make use of these memories as if it is his own memory and knowledge.

Third thing was those twelve big mountains. There was a Low Grade Spirit Stone's mine inside one of the mountain and as for the other 11 mountains, he had no idea what they contained within them but he guessed that maybe two other mountains of the remaining 11 mountains is containing the mine of Middle Grade Spirit Stones and High Grade Spirit Stones.

These are all the things that was already heaven defying but now, he discovered one more ability of the Heavenly Pearl and that is that it can evolve the medicinal herb to next level. It had to be known that all the medicinal herbs has a fix rank.

But now, Ye Xiao can evolve the medicinal herbs to next level with the help of the Heavenly Pearl. This was also a heaven defying ability.

Who knows how many of this type of abilities this Heavenly Pearl has. He will only come to know of all of its abilities by familiarising himself with it and it is only possible by gaining strength and becoming strong.

He once again felt the importance of strength.

"I will definitely become very strong and unravel the mysteries of the Heavenly Pearl." Ye Xiao vowed to himself.

He continued to stare at the newly evolved Jade Lotus for quite a while and only after confirming that there was no more changes going to happen, did he took a deep breath and exited from the world inside the Heavenly Pearl.

_Cloudsmoke Forest_

Inside the forest, surrounded my many small and big trees was a lake. Some distance away from the lake stood a very big tree and on the top branch of this big tree, a shadow suddenly appeared.

"Grrrr"

Ye Xiao came out from the Heavenly Pearl and once again appeared here. He was still lost in the thoughts of what happen inside the Heavenly Pearl when he heard a grumbling sound.

He looked here and there around him and found nothing. Suddenly he realized that the grumbling sound was coming from his stomach. He was really hungry as he didn't eat anything for all day inside the Cloudsmoke Forest.

It was now completely dark so he can't even go anywhere to find something to eat as it will be very dangerous for a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator to roam in the forest at night.

Once he realize that he was hungry, he became really very hungry.

Giving up, he got down from that big tree and started looking for something to eat.

"I really am a very big fool. I should have stored something to eat inside the spatial ring before entering the Cloudsmoke Forest. I can not even go out from the forest now otherwise I will be eliminated from the competition." Ye Xiao had a troubled expression on his face as he continued to search for something edible inside the forest.

He can eat the Blood Lizard but it will be very dangerous for him to lit up a fire inside the forest at night. So, he chose to search rather than eat the Blood Lizard.

The corpse of magical beasts are also very valuable. It can be sold for a very high price. It can even help one to strengthen their bodies after eating it.

But who was Ye Xiao?

He was someone who own a mine of the Low Grade Spirit Stone. So, why will he sell any the corpse of magical beast for some silver and gold coins.

As for keeping it to eat later.

He can simply hunt another magical beast.

So, he didn't give any thought toward the corpse of the Blood Lizard and continued to search.

Finally, after half an hour, he found a tree laden with many juicy fruits.

Ye Xiao looked at the fruits and water dripped from his mouth. He was already very hungry. He hurriedly broke some fruits from the trees and began to eat it.

After filling up his fill, Ye Xiao again climbed on a tree next to the fruits tree and closed his eyes to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already the next day. He yawned a little by spreading both of his hands.

He looked at those fruits on the tree. It was really very juicy fruit so he stored all the fruits inside his spatial ring.

Now it was the time to hunt again. He chose a random direction and started walking inside the forest. On his way, he saw some rank one magical beasts.

He ignored them and continued to search for a rank two magical beast.
