Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Fruit

The fusion of the modified soul with the body requires some time, during which movement is not possible. Fortunately, it does not last too long, and Tang Qi just needs to quietly wait for a moment.

During this time, Tang Qi did not delay. It seemed he had remembered something, and his gaze suddenly fell to the ground, where in the filthy, abnormal “mudwater” a clump of ghost light was still so dazzling, filling the bottom of Tang Qi’s eyes.

“Spoils!”

It was the moment Tang Qi enjoyed the most, collecting the spoils of battle.

What could it be?

With a thought of curiosity, Tang Qi gently bent down and picked the object out of the mud.

The next moment, what came into view was a completely blooming, extraordinarily beautiful and bewitching “fruit.” Its shape resembled a specially cultivated pomegranate with a thin layer of grayish-black skin on the outside. Inside, vein-like patterns spread out, and at each node, there was a gemstone, a ruby.

A strange attraction was emanating from it.

It made Tang Qi develop a craving in his mind, a longing to pluck a “ruby” and place it into his mouth, which would grant him great strength.

Tang Qi stared at the fruit, and a special image slowly formed.

[Curio: Ancestor Fruit.]

[State: Intact.]

[Information Fragment One: A curio born out of extremely coincidental circumstances, not unique, but with a very low chance of replication, the fruit is transformed from the “Ancestor’s Flower,” and contains an extraordinary power that has undergone an unknown mutation.]

[Information Fragment Two: The fruit’s skin, veins, and seeds all have many uses, among which the seeds have the greatest effect, they can be directly devoured, or used to make body-enhancing secret medicine, but the formula needs to be redesigned… Regardless of devouring or formulating secret medicine, there’s no need to worry about side effects.]

[Information Fragment Three: With proper preservation or cultivation, it’s possible to use its seeds to grow new “Ancestor’s Flowers,” but the success rate is not high and requires the participation of at least one professional-level Spirit Plant Master.]

…

“Good stuff!”

After seeing the information fragments that passed by, Tang Qi immediately expressed his surprise with delight.

Clearly, this fruit, which to the touch and from the outside resembled a hard gemstone, was an accidental find, but indeed was a genuine treasure.

It not only inherited the “Ancestor’s Flower’s” power to enhance life forms but also eliminated any side effects.

No wonder at this moment, the Night Beast, which had always maintained an “arrogant” beast persona, suddenly put its big head close, and its large eyes showed a rare pleasing color—it was clearly showing its desire. The little guy wanted a taste.

As an extraordinary creature with a very high potential, the Night Beast had an extremely keen sense for such treasures. It had a premonition that although the fruit did not look like the “Dark Food” it loved to eat, it must taste very good.

But then, it immediately encountered an unyielding rejection from Tang Qi.

Startled, Tang Qi flipped his palm, and the Ancestor Fruit was immediately put away.

It had many uses, and consuming it directly would be the greatest waste.

Tang Qi made up his mind to first collect it as a precious curio, and if there was a chance in the future, he could try cultivating and planting a “new Ancestor’s Flower.” If successful, wouldn’t that mean possessing a material base for formulating body enhancement secret medicine?

It’s important to note that in the Mysterious Side World, many of the smaller secret medicine schools do not have such a base.

The “Original Secret Medicine School” that Tang Qi is currently cultivating in, was able to rise to prominence because it initially gained control over the source of materials like the “rubber fruit.”

A bigger ambition, and Tang Qi could potentially use this fruit to establish a new Secret Medicine School.

Even if this was just a possibility, it did not prevent Tang Qi from preserving it properly first.

To appease the little guy, Tang Qi promised some rare benefits, agreeing to buy some Dark Food for it next time they go to the Mysterious Valley Market.

Just as the man and beast were negotiating terms, beside them, accompanied by a low roar,

Andre Poli, who had been standing beside Tang Qi like a statue, suddenly opened his eyes and, like a startled beast, turned into a phantom and sprang out.

By now, the large hole in Poli’s back had miraculously healed, reverting to the revolting, rotten appearance they had when they first met.

Seeing Poli flee as soon as he woke up, Tang Qi was neither surprised nor did he immediately give chase.

Instead, he said with a faint smile, “It’s done.”

This “original goods” had been cleansed and manipulated by Tang Qi from his body to his memories.

In his world, he remains the clever Andre Poli, who chose Messer City as a temporary shelter. That night he was taken out by the female police chief and a consultant from the police station, escaping during the battle between the two and the pursuing Hound.

Then, in the next moment, Poli will be captured again by the “powerful” Police Station Consultant.

The subsequent plot: As a twisted, wicked serial killer, as well as a dangerous virus body, he would be handed over to the FBI squad that came for this purpose by Messer Police Station, and certainly, what awaits him won’t be a cold prison but a more terrifying laboratory and operating table, where he could likely be dissected.

But before the dissection, he would self-destruct.

The appearance of that “Ancestor Fruit” meant that all the essence of Extraordinary Power in Andre Poli’s body had been transferred.

Only a part remains, to prevent giveaways, Tang Qi has tinkered with his body and memory, and before the last bit of Extraordinary Power is exhausted, he would enter the “self-destruction” program, silently dying in an FBI laboratory.

…

In the Rocky Community, returning to the old Tang Family villa, Tang Qi brought back a dazed human figure.

Inside the living room, Stanna was still immersed in the “Illusion World,” eyes tightly closed, seemingly in sleep, but the increasingly strong aura emanating from her body proved that Stanna was still cultivating the Monster Power Technique, and her progress was astonishing.

Tang Qi couldn’t help but marvel; compared to him, Stanna was more suited to this very unique skill.

However, at this time, within Tang Qi’s Skill Bar, there was no trace of the “Monster Power Technique” to be found. Not only the Monster Power Technique, but two other special schools of Fighting Skill had also disappeared, all merged into the Chaga Fighting Technique.

The new Fighting Skill was nothing short of horror in close combat.

This was something Robert the Black Hound had proven with his life.

Tang Qi didn’t change his name, still using “Chaga” as his moniker, not only because Tang Qi was lazy and bad at naming, but also because in many ancient languages of the Saha Continent, Chaga represented a meaning: a strong, fearless power.

Since that was the case, Tang Qi didn’t bother to change it.

Tang Qi also did not retract the “Illusion Spell” cast on Stanna. With a thought, he let the original goods, Andre Poli, return to the familiar position, kneeling in the familiar posture, commanded the Night Beast to be vigilant in the shadows, and Tang Qi himself entered a meditation state to refine the fuel he had collected that night.

Less than two hours later, while Messer City was still shrouded in the last darkness, Tang Qi, unsurprisingly, received a call from the police station.

Quickly waking Stanna, then together, they brought Poli back to the Messer Police Station.

At the police station, the two “met” the FBI investigator squad for the first time.
