The demon monkey and Ji Yen both looked at the fruits that are hanging from the tree.
The monkey, excited, was about to jumped on the tree.
Ji Yen hurriedly stopped him. And he looked the monkey and said. "The fruits are not yet ripen."
The monkey also looked at the fruits and he also saw the greeny fruits.
The fruits are in some flowery petals shape like structure and they are about the size of teen fist. And only three were left on the tree.
Ji Yen looked at the data of the fruits or precisely the fruit tree.
[Data.
Item: Five Petal Tree (bears 5 fruit every year).
Grade: Low Mortal Grade.
Details: Consuming one petal(fruit) of the tree can help in breakthrough to half grade demon beast (for beasts) or Mortal Foundation Realm (for humans). It will took 2 to 3 days to consume the fruit's essence fully. It is also effective for Grade 1 demon beasts and Mortal Foundation Realm.
Consuming unripe fruit is not fully effective.]
After reading the data, Ji understood why the wolves took too long to reach the half Grade realm. They had consumed the fruits before they ripen.
Maybe the wolf king also realized it and left the three fruits to be ripen.
So, Ji Yen explained the whole things to the demon monkey. And they decided to devide the fruits among themselves. One for each of them.
After some discussion, they monkey decided to give his share to Ji Yen in exchange for the demon beast language.
It was a win-win situation for Ji Yen. He dis not paid any price for the language and now he was also get a treasure for free. Technically, he did fight for the fruits.
Ji Yen knew he could not leave the fruits alone. If any wild animals ate them, he would have no one to blame to. Well.. he probably would have someone to blame. But his plan to ripen them would be fail.
So, he asked the monkey to brought Ji Wen there at the tree place. And they will spend the next few days there, waiting for the fruits to fully ripen.
Hearing Ji Yen's words, the monkey left the area and ran back towards the direction they came earlier.
After the monkey left the place, Ji Yen sat below the tree and started thinking about future.
He wanted to check out the human settlements of this world. He also wants to see how strong they are.
But Ji Yen knows, non of that would be possible without his own strength.
As he sat there thinking, an idea came across his mind.
He asked the system. "System, can a demon beasts turn into a human?"
[Yes, a demon beast can turn into a human. But, it must reach Grade 5 demon beast realm to be able to do that.]
Looking at system's message, Ji Yen face fell.
He asked again. "So, how long would it take me to reach the grade 5 realm?"
[According to my estimation, host would probably take at least two hundred years.]
Ji Yen face fell to the ground. He did not expect that it would take that too long for him to reach Grade 5 demon beast realm.
So, basically, he can not turn into a human before he reach 200 years old.
He sat there silently, dejected.
Seeing the disappointed look on Ji Yen, the system sent another message.
[Host, no need to be so downhearted. If host can find a spiritual treasure that can turn you into human earlier. Host does not need to reach the grade 5 realm, to turn into a human. You can basically turn into human right now.]
"Really?" Ji Yen looked at the system with an uncertain look.
[Many things are possible in this world. Why can't that kind of fruits exist.]
Then it continued.
[In fact, if host can find something similar to that. Host can just spend some energy points to modify or evolve it into a treasure that can turn into human.]
"You can do that..!!?" Ji Yen's eyes lit up with excitement.
[I am an evolution system. Host should note that one clearly.]
Ji Yen felt like he could not wait to turn into a human. He wanted to find the spiritual treasure quickly.
Then he looked up at the tree with excitement. And he pointed at the fruits. "How about these fruits? Can i turn them into one that can help me?"
[I said something similar. Not a complete of opposite.]
But Ji Yen did not felt any upset, hearing the system rejection. He knows he can find the treasure one day for sure.
As he was day dreaming near below the tree, the monkey and Ji Wen arrived at the place. And they also brought some wolf legs.
Ji took the wolf legs and he clean them neatly. He peeled off the skins from the legs using his shapen feather blade.
The monkey gathered some dry logs and leave to start a fire.
After the fire was started, Ji Yen started roasting the wolf meat legs using some tree branches.
As they sat by the fire, waiting for the meat to done roasted. Ji Yen thought of something.
He said. "Since we are going to be here for quite few days, I decided to teach you the basics of demon language. After learning the basics, you guys can slowly figure out the rest." to the demon monkey and Ji Wen.
Hearing that Ji Yen decided to teach them the demon beast language, both Ji Wen and the monkey showed a delighted expression.
As they waited for their foods to be done, Ji Yen started teaching them some basics of the demon beast language.
The reason Ji Yen absorbed the energy from the wolf king, when he could just eat the meat, is because Ji Yen knows the 10% rule. (Only 10% of the energy will be transfers to consumer from the producer. So if Ji Yen absorb the energy as the producer is still alive, he will get how much he wants.)
And after they were done eating the food, Ji Yen still teach them for some time.
Just like that, 5 days have passed since they started living near the five petal tree.
Everyday, they would cultivate below the tree and when they have some free time, Ji Yen would teach the demon beast language.
And at the end of the 5 day, the fruits have fully ripen and ready for consumption.
