Interestingly, the fruit of Bai Xu is not the carrier for its reproduction, much like many plant-type Chimeras whose methods of propagation remain a mystery to this day. When the main body of Bai Xu is removed or after it bears fruit, the transparent filaments that lurk in the minds of living beings to absorb soul power will also disappear. This is precisely why Mo Wen informed the Village Chief and Elder that as long as the main body of Bai Xu was eliminated, the problem would be resolved.
Bai Xu blooms on the night of the full moon, sheds its flowers on the next full moon, and bears fruit on yet another full moon. This means that it takes two months for Bai Xu to go from flowering to fruiting. This period is also the best time to search for the main body of Bai Xu, although its form is unpredictable. There are countless Nakanos fruit trees in the mountains, making it difficult to determine which one is Bai Xu. However, when it bears fruit on that full moon night, it will shed its disguise. According to records, on the night of the White Fluff Fruit's maturity, the main body emits a dazzling white light. On the full moon night, particularly during Zi Shi, the white light is at its brightest, and the fruit falls at sunrise. Based on recent observations, the Bai Xu on the island is just about to mature tonight.
After the flowers of Bai Xu fall, each flower will produce a White Fluff Fruit. The number of these fruits that ultimately mature depends on how much soul power those filaments absorb and transmit back. The White Fluff Fruit serves as an excellent cultivation material that can enhance Shen Hun and assist in refining both Refining Spirit Realm and Ning Shen Realm. Moreover, the entire Bai Xu main body can be used as medicine with effects comparable to those of White Fluff Fruit. Of course, all Ghoulwood has side effects; however, Bai Xu's side effects are relatively minor compared to others. In fact, they are much less severe than those from Red Spirit Fruit he had previously consumed, although the effects are also somewhat diminished. Now that Mo Wen possesses Shuang Sheng Lian, he finds White Fluff Fruit somewhat optional. After his experience with Red Spirit Fruit, he decided not to use Ghoulwood for cultivation unless absolutely necessary.
“Let’s go; it’s about time,” Mo Wen said as they set off towards the island. Upon arriving, they finally caught sight of Bai Xu's appearance—a glowing tree standing in the center of the small island. The tree was three or four zhang tall with a trunk thick enough for two people to embrace. Its branches were lush and twisted like dragons or snakes, resembling a landscape tree planted in a prestigious family garden. At this moment, Bai Xu was entirely silver in color; even its leaves shimmered like silver, glistening beautifully under the moonlight. In this ethereal glow, it resembled a scene from a fairy tale, leaving both men mesmerized.
“Brother Erniu, wake up!” Mo Wen's voice thundered in Erniu's ear, jolting him awake with cold sweat dripping down his face.
“Thank you, brother; this thing really is impressive!” They had both fallen into an illusion earlier; Mo Wen had simply awakened sooner than Erniu. Looking again at the Bai Xu Tree, they saw silver fruits hanging from its branches—those fruits were already ripe.
“Be careful; let’s make our move.”
At the entrance of Kao Shu Village, Old Village Chief anxiously awaited with a group of villagers. The young man and Erniu had left just before dark yesterday and had not returned all night. The elders only knew that they had gone in search of the Chimera Bai Xu but were unaware of their whereabouts or what had transpired. They did not even know what level of Chimera Bai Xu was.
As afternoon approached without any sign of them returning, restlessness began to spread among the crowd. An elder approached Village Chief: “Second Uncle, why don’t you head back? I’ll wait here for Erniu and them.”
“Let’s wait a bit longer; hopefully nothing has gone wrong…”
