After resting on the ground for a few minutes, Qin Tian finally caught his breath.

At this time, the sky was a gray-black hue but hadn't completely darkened yet.

Qin Tian stood up and slowly walked toward the forest ahead.

As he walked, Qin Tian dug out bread from his backpack with one hand and started nibbling, while holding bottled water to drink with the other hand.

It was already dinner time, and given the physical exertion of climbing the Broken Cliff earlier, Qin Tian was very hungry.

"Damn, this purple forest is definitely not an ordinary forest; the spiritual energy feels so abundant..."

As Qin Tian approached the purple forest, he instantly felt refreshed, as if the air emitted a unique breath that he could assimilate powerfully into his bloodstream like a spring.

Qin Tian knew that within this purple forest, there was definitely extremely potent spiritual energy. Cultivating here would definitely not be a problem!

At this moment, Qin Tian was overjoyed. On top of the Broken Cliff, he not only found a place for cultivation but also discovered the most suitable site for him, one that felt incredibly effective.

"It should be like this; on top of this Broken Cliff, who knows whether by fate or not, so many Purple Spiritual Trees have grown. Then, because the Broken Cliff is at a height of over ten meters, in a place not connected to any village or store, no one absorbs the spiritual energy produced by the Purple Spiritual Trees. Thus, years of sedimentation naturally form a massive accumulation of spiritual energy here."

"Hahaha, arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time. I came here just to absorb this spiritual energy, truly couldn't be more perfect."

Qin Tian was mentally ecstatic, as he approached a Purple Spiritual Tree and carefully observed this peculiar tree.

This was a tree Qin Tian had never seen before; not only did it look more unusual than normal trees, but also, when approaching the Purple Spiritual Tree, it seemed to emit a fragrance that invigorated everyone who smelled it.

At this moment, Qin Tian had completely forgotten whatever stories Wang Guangfu had told him about demons and ghosts. In his eyes, there was only the Purple Spiritual Tree.

"Huh?"

Qin Tian's gaze suddenly shifted to the distance, where a large patch of grass was growing deeper within the Purple Spiritual Tree area.

Though faint, the grass over there also emanated a strange aura, which Qin Tian's keen sensing power immediately identified.

Qin Tian brought a flashlight, and now he couldn't clearly see what was in the distance, so he turned it on, holding his breath and focusing, as he approached.

"Is this..."

When Qin Tian got close to that patch of grass and used the flashlight's beam to illuminate the things hidden there, he was instantly stunned.

"Is this a strawberry?"

Looking at the red fruit among the grass, Qin Tian furrowed his brows.

The patch of grass in front didn't exactly seem like grass—it was more like a shrub, neat and tidy, row upon row, like planted vegetables and fruit.

However, all the fruits growing on these shrubs looked like strawberries, yet the branches were completely different from the strawberry vines Qin Tian had seen.

"These aren't strawberries!"

Qin Tian immediately furrowed his brows again. These red fruits did look like strawberries in appearance, but upon closer inspection, besides the color and size, their shape, and the trees they grew on, were entirely different from strawberries.

If they aren't strawberries, what are they?

Curiously, Qin Tian crouched down to pick one of the fruits, then observed and sniffed it closely.

"Can these be eaten?"

Qin Tian smacked his lips. Truth be told, having just eaten dinner consisting only of bread with no fruit afterward, he felt unsatisfied. Now, with a ground full of red fruits that looked plump and fresh, if edible, they would be a treat as after-dinner fruit, wouldn't they?

Thinking this, Qin Tian took out a small silver needle and poked it into the red fruit to test for toxin, finding it completely safe.

Feeling reassured, Qin Tian wiped the red fruit clean and then ate it.

"Hmm, not sweet but very juicy, tasty..."

This mysterious red fruit, after Qin Tian ate one, made him crave more, so he quickly picked several more, gobbling them down.

The taste of the red fruit was unlike any usual fruit, resembling a mix of pineapple and cherry, with a hint of rose fragrance. Intrigued, Qin Tian continued tasting.

However, what astonished Qin Tian even more was still to come.

After consuming a dozen red fruits consecutively, Qin Tian's stomach began to ache...

"Damn, what's going on? Is this stuff inedible? My stomach aches..."

As the stomachache intensified, Qin Tian suddenly felt cold sweat on his forehead.

Unable to resist, Qin Tian searched the nearby grass for a pit, intending to use it.

But even after taking off his pants and squatting down, he couldn't relieve himself.

Instead, as the stomachache persisted for several minutes, slowly, the pain subsided.

"Strange... what's the origin of this fruit... huh?"

Just as Qin Tian pondered the situation, he suddenly felt his Dan Tian Qi Sea react!

In his Dantian, it seemed as if a stream of clarity flowed from his stomach, gradually merging into his Dan Tian Qi Sea, blending with the power accumulated within Qin Tian's body, causing his true energy to boil!

"What is this thing!?"

Feeling the curious change occurring in his body, Qin Tian was stunned.

He quickly stood up, pulled up his pants, then sat down on the ground to regulate his breath and sense the internal changes.

When Qin Tian truly focused, he was astounded by the anomaly within him—

The magical current in his Dan Tian Qi Sea acted as a catalyst!

Originally impure true energy within Qin Tian had been purified after this fusion.

Thus, when Qin Tian used his true energy power, it would be more vigorous than before!

Moreover, not only that, the stream seemed to be intermingled with strands of spiritual energy, which was purer than what Qin Tian had sensed in the forest before, making him feel as if he had stumbled upon a treasure. He dared not be careless and immediately sat cross-legged, using the Gathering Spirit Technique, beginning his cultivation.

About an hour later, Qin Tian finally absorbed and refined all the spiritual energy he could from within him.

This refining and absorption of spiritual energy exceeded even the amount Qin Tian had tried to absorb and refine in a month!

"Damn, what's going on? These fruits... are too miraculous!"

Standing again, with a look of astonishment, Qin Tian glanced at the ground full of red fruits directly!
