Chapter 119: Growth
But what David didn't lack at this point was spirit stones. He had earned more than enough spirit stones by selling cups of coffee, so the thought of selling these Clear Heart fruits didn't even cross his mind.
In the next moment, David sat down on the ground cross-legged and steadied his breathing. It was time to test the fruit's effect.
In a single motion, David put the green Clear Heart fruit in his mouth…and immediately grimaced.
"Ah! So sour." David had never eaten something so bland and sour, and he even regretted eating the fruit. But he could only grit his teeth and swallow the marble entirely.
Instantly, he felt much better.
However, before he could feel happy and celebrate, a loud explosion seemed to have occurred in his head, more specifically in his spiritual space.
The almost hundred-kilometer-long space was suddenly filled with green clouds that stretched endlessly, covering every corner of the space. The gray sea below was also filled with a slight green hue.
David, however, was busy elsewhere and couldn't appreciate this beautiful scene in his spiritual space.
"Where am I?" David spoke in confusion, with a dazed look in his eyes.
The cave that he was in vanished, and suddenly he appeared in a place filled with tall trees.
"What happened to my body?" This was the second question that popped into his head.
His body seemed to have become a statue, and when he tried to move his head, it refused to budge. He could only look directly ahead.
Time continued to pass as the sun set below the horizon, and the ground was bathed in the silvery radiance of the moon.
David had been in that position for hours, unable to move.
He was starting to get worried; the forum mentioned nothing about such a weird phenomenon.
However, David's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the shaking of the ground.
In the next moment, a gigantic furry creature appeared in his vision.
Suddenly, the creature opened its mouth filled with disgusting yellow teeth, and in the next moment, David felt the world spinning.
In the next moment, his vision was filled with darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the cave. David looked around to confirm.
The Origin Guard was still guarding the entrance loyally. Everything was normal except his forehead which was filled with beads of sweat.
The scenes he had just experienced gave him a weird and creepy feeling.
David made a mental note to search the Green Heaven Web for information.
Just as he was about to buy a handkerchief from the bank's shop to wipe the sweat off his forehead, his expression froze, and he hurriedly entered his spiritual space.
In the next moment, David was greeted by a huge green pillar that was slowly taking shape and merging with his spiritual space.
Under David's watchful eyes, the pillar finally fully formed and became one with the space.
The pillar's surface was filled with numerous runes and weird symbols that constantly moved up and down while occasionally glowing with green light.
He instantly felt the changes all around him.
The space seems to have become slightly sturdy.
After confirming the changes, David left the spiritual space.
The first thing he did was summon his status report to see the changes.

"Nothing wrong here!"
After confirming that everything was fine and dandy, David repeated the same process again and consumed a few Clear Heart fruits in succession.
Just like the last time, his consciousness was sent somewhere else.
After repeated occurrences, David realized he became a seed every time he came to this strange place.
The longer he managed to stay in this place, the more his comprehension speed increased.
And slowly, his newly acquired law rose to the top.
[Law of Evergreen Vitality (1.9) Embryo Form]
"Not again!" All the fruits he ate increased his comprehension of the law he already had. David didn't want this; he wanted new laws on his status report.
David finally took out the last Clear Heart fruit from his storage ring.
He hoped this fruit would allow him to comprehend new laws.
David once again got to work and started to peel its outer skin off.
This time the process barely took a moment, and he was done peeling the fruit.
A golden-yellow marble appeared in his hand.
"Nice," David muttered in happiness. This time, he was finally going to comprehend a new law.
Without hesitating, he hurriedly took a bite out of it.
This time, however, David didn't appear in a strange place.
However, at this time, his thoughts were moving at lightning speed, far faster than normal.
David felt as if he had suddenly become smarter; concepts he found difficult to understand in the past became easier to grasp.
There were Clear Heart fruits, and then there were Clear Heart Enlightenment fruits.
Something that could only be found by luck, never bought with money.
Of course, David didn't know that he had consumed Clear Heart Enlightenment fruits instead of Clear Heart fruits.
His mind was in a euphoric state, and at this time, all his focus was on comprehending new laws.
So David closed his eyes and ignored everything else.
But suddenly he shook his head.
"Wait a minute! Why am I so hell-bent on comprehending laws?"
"Can't I just use Crystallization of Life?"
Once this thought popped into David's head, it became uncontrollable, and in a few minutes, David completely forgot about everything else.
