Chapter 385 Returning favors
Lu Ping stored the fragments of Long Saburo's demon body that he got from Wanhua Clinic in a small bottle and made it into a pendant to wear on his body for emergency use.

But such means cannot prevent the breath sensing between the monsters.

Then the Garuda bird resting on Lu Ping's hand made a series of coquettish and flattering calls, and kept rubbing Lu Ping's chest with the feathers on its cheeks.

As if to say: Brother, you smell so good! Let me see what you have in your arms...

"So good, so good..."

Lu Ping smiled and smoothed the feathers of the Garuda bird, "I'll give you something delicious later."

"My friend has been poisoned by the Naga Snake King. Do you have any herbs to detoxify?"

The Garuda bird is very spiritual and can understand human language.

Hearing this, it immediately shouted confidently, then flapped its wings and flew up. After circling over the two people's heads, it turned around to look at Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin, and finally flew forward.

Shen Jianxin blinked and pointed at the Garuda bird flying away in confusion: "It seems to be asking us to follow it...?"

Lu Ping nodded: "Let's go and take a look!"

Soon, the Garuda bird brought the two to a place full of herbs.

It picked up some herbs from the ground, put them in its mouth, chewed them into herbal paste, then spit them out onto its wings and handed them to Shen Jianxin.

Apparently, this is how they deal with snake bites.

Shen Jianxin looked at the Garuda bird gratefully and said, "Thank you very much."

Then he took the herbal paste and, without minding the saliva on it, applied it directly to his thigh, then tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage it up.

After doing all this, the Garuda bird fluttered into Lu Ping's arms again and acted coquettishly in all kinds of ways.

"Okay, okay, okay... I'll give it to you."

Lu Ping had no choice but to take off the pendant from his neck, pour out the demon body fragments inside and hand them over.

The Garuda bird was overjoyed when it saw this and swallowed it in one gulp.

The next moment, tremendous demonic power began to flow through its body and even burst out.

Lu Ping could clearly sense that the aura of the Garuda bird in front of him had become completely different from before.

“Is this okay…?”

Shen Jianxin frowned and looked at the Garuda bird worriedly: "Even if we are both demons, won't something go wrong if we forcibly merge the demon power of other demons?"

"I think... it must have realized something, so it ate it."

Lu Ping pondered for a few seconds and said, "Another thing is that the fragment is just a piece of meat condensed by demonic power. The Garuda bird has always been famous for its 'swallowing'. I think it should have enough digestion ability."

The two of them then quietly waited by the side for the Garuda bird to finish refining its demonic power.

By the time it came to a complete stop, half an hour had passed.

At this time, the Garuda bird was a circle larger than before, its hair became thicker and longer, with a few dark green hairs mixed in, its claws and beak were sharper, and its eyes were much sharper.

The evolved Garuda bird's joy is visible to the naked eye.

It spread its wings, shook off a few old and faded feathers, and excitedly flew high into the sky, uttering a few loud calls from time to time, as if it was feeling the new changes in itself.

After a while, it landed in front of Lu Ping and the other man again, and once again pointed the way, flying towards a thick tree on a distant hill.

Seeing this, Lu Ping's eyes moved, and he vaguely guessed what it was thinking, so he hurriedly followed Shen Jianxin.

This time the destination is a bird's nest on the branch of a big tree.

Lu Ping's heart suddenly became excited.

Coming?

God Man Fruit...

From the moment he decided to come to the East China Sea, Lu Ping had been thinking about the Shenman Fruit on Fuqiu Island.

I had planned to wait until I had dealt with the Red Cult's affairs before coming over to see what was going on, but I didn't expect to end up here early by accident.

However, for him, it doesn't matter whether he completes the map mission early or late.

As Lu Ping had expected, perhaps in order to return the favor, the Garuda bird, after absorbing the magical power of Long Saburo, brought the two of them to the bird's nest and took out a golden fruit.

"Is this for me?" Lu Ping asked.

The Garuda bird nodded.

Shen Jianxin was also looking forward to it, with a nervous blush on her cheeks: "What about mine?"

However, the Garuda bird just glanced at him, snorted coldly, a wisp of white air came out of its nose, and then turned its head away arrogantly.

Obviously, Shen Jianxin didn't.

You are a human being who has received my help and hasn’t given me anything, yet you still want to eat the fruit?

Even though he couldn't understand bird language, Shen Jianxin saw deep mockery in the eyes of the Garuda bird in front of him. He immediately felt disappointed and furious. "Ahhh!! If my sword was still there..."

"If it's still there, so what? Are you planning to trade your sword for the fruit?"

Shen Jianxin was speechless: "That's not the case...it's just...ah..."

Lu Ping looked at the magical fruit in his hand.

Unlike the Shenman Fruit that he saw at the Yinhuai Ghost Market, the one in his hand was golden yellow, while the one he saw at that time was white.

This is probably because the fruit was picked too long ago and left its native habitat, causing too much of its medicinal properties to be lost.

The Shenman Fruit is indeed a rare and wonderful thing.

Even if you only take one pill, the user's internal strength can be greatly improved, and you don't need to eat for three days.

But it also has a weakness, which is... eating too much can easily cause getting irritated and make you forgetful.

Just like Yue Quanhuai, after eating ninety-nine Shenman fruits and leaving Fuqiu Island, he simply forgot his life experience, name, and experiences. When he was a hundred years old, his body began to spontaneously combust.

But if you only eat one, it won't be a big problem.

After Lu Ping swallowed the Shenman Fruit, he suddenly felt a burning warm current flowing from his stomach to his limbs and bones, and the internal force in his body also began to fluctuate violently.

That feeling is just like Nezha's Conquering the Dragon King.

The tremendous internal force surges in the body, constantly stimulating the tendons, veins, flesh and nerves throughout the body.

Deep in his consciousness, it seemed as if there were countless selves, practicing the various martial arts learned from the system one by one, and mastering them in a very short time.

The martial arts that he had already mastered, such as the Six Styles of Heavenly Absolute, the Military Armor Martial Arts Classic, and the Mystery of Tai Chi, now had many new insights;

Those less proficient martial arts, such as the Nine Yang Heavenly Art, the Six-Winged Sword Technique, and the Trace of the Demonic Sword Wind, also achieved new breakthroughs one by one and reached a higher level.

After a long time, the body returned to calm.

Lu Ping opened his eyes again and felt the changes in his body. He felt that his internal energy was surging, his cultivation had greatly improved, and his strength had increased a lot.

The improvement that this Shenman Fruit brought to me was several times more than what I had gained during my time in Dongwulin.

You know, even though Lu Ping completed very few system tasks in the past few months, the "spirit" in his body is also increasing every day.

"It's so comfortable..."

Lu Ping raised his arms high and stretched, letting out a lazy groan.

At this moment, he felt that he had endless energy and wanted to strike the sea surface with a few "Tian Yue Ping Zong" blows on the spot.

But in the end, he suppressed his inner impulse.

"Hey, Kenshin, why are you so depressed?"

"Is it because you didn't eat?"

"Don't worry. I know you have difficulty walking, so I'll go catch you two snakes to fill your stomach..."

With every word Lu Ping spoke, the resentful look on Shen Jianxin's face grew more intense.

Don't you know why I'm unhappy?
It was my first time to come to the magical Fuqiu Island, and my first time to encounter the legendary divine bird and the fruit that could increase my inner strength. This should have been a double happiness, but in the end, I didn't get to share in this heaven-shattering adventure...

"Pfft hahaha..."

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore."

Lu Ping restrained his smile and patted Shen Jianxin on the shoulder: "If you really want to eat the Shenman Fruit, I have an idea."

"What's the idea?"

Shen Jianxin instantly regained his spirits, even forgetting the injury on his leg and jumped up.

"Look over there, what can you see?"

Lu Ping raised his hand and pointed towards the edge of the island.

The tree where the two were standing at the moment was one of the tallest on the island. Standing here, they could clearly see the terrain of Fuqiu Island, and where the lakes and forests were were all clear.

Shen Jianxin looked in the direction of Lu Ping's finger and saw a faint black mist.

The black fog came from the sea and spread all the way to the center of the island, seriously damaging the growth environment of the Garuda bird.

"Is that... the poisonous mist of the Naga snake?!"

"Not bad!"

Lu Ping nodded.

"If you can get rid of the poisonous fog, they will definitely be willing to give you a Shenman Fruit!"
