Lu Ye didnât rush to take the Barrier-Breaking Fruit. He didnât know if it was genuine, so he didnât dare to take it rashly. 520 Official Website

After the brief but extremely dangerous battle with Da Hu, he had been injured. He had been too busy confronting Da Hu to check his wounds.
Now, after taking off his clothes, he saw that his chest was a mess of blood and flesh, with several deep claw marks. The blood had already dyed his shirt below the chest red.
Fortunately, he was no longer an ordinary person. During the confrontation with Da Hu, he had intentionally channeled spiritual energy to seal his wounds, so the bleeding wasnât too severe, though the injuries looked quite gruesome.
He moved his limbs to check for any broken bones, and after confirming there were none, he sighed in relief. If it was just a flesh wound, it would be easier to handle.
He still had eight healing pills, which were very effective for treating injuries.
Taking out the bottle containing the healing pills, Lu Ye swallowed one and then took another, crushed it with his fingers, and evenly applied the powder to the wounds on his chest.
He winced in pain.
After finishing these tasks, he put on his clothes, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the energy from the healing pill.
The next morning, Lu Ye felt much better. The wounds had started to heal and scab over, and he expected a full recovery in a few days.
During this time, he finished eating the large snake he hadnât finished earlier, replenishing his strength.
At dawn, Lu Ye went to a water source a few miles away and easily caught a fat rabbit. Holding it by the ears, he returned to the cave.
A moment later, Lu Ye sat cross-legged in the cave, holding the Barrier-Breaking Fruit. He took out his sword and carefully peeled off a layer of the fruitâs flesh, then opened the rabbitâs mouth and stuffed the flesh inside. He closed the rabbitâs mouth and shook it vigorously.
After ensuring the rabbit had completely eaten the fruitâs flesh, Lu Ye let it go. The rabbit, perhaps shocked, lay motionless on the ground.
Lu Ye ignored it and blocked the cave entrance to ensure it wouldnât escape. He then began to examine the storage bags that Yi Yi had brought over. Yi Yi and Hu Po hadnât taken these bags back when they left, mainly because the items inside were sealed with restrictions, making them useless to them.
The storage bags were covered in dirt, as if they had been dug out of the ground.
Picking up one of the storage bags, Lu Ye channeled his spiritual energy into it. However, he clearly felt that his spiritual energy couldnât penetrate the bag, blocked by a peculiar force.
These were the restriction locks. Each storage bag had its own restriction lock, and the key to unlocking it was the spiritual energy of the cultivator who owned it.
Lu Ye originally had three storage bags: one from Manager Yang, one from Zhou Cheng, and one given to him by the Sect Master.
Manager Yangâs storage bag had a restriction lock, but before he died, he had opened it to retrieve a sword. In the urgent situation, Manager Yang had no time or energy to relock the bag, so everything inside went to Lu Ye.
The restriction lock on Zhou Chengâs storage bag was forcibly opened by the Sect Master.
These two storage bags remained unlocked.
The storage bag given to him by the Sect Master was a new one. After receiving it, Lu Ye used his spiritual energy to nurture the restriction lock, allowing him to freely open and close it.
If his storage bag were lost, even if someone else found it, they wouldnât be able to open it easily unless they had special unlocking techniques.
Lu Ye naturally didnât have such techniques. He just tried out of boredom.
His spiritual energy slowly seeped into the storage bag, sensing the presence of the restriction lock. He continuously channeled more spiritual energy, trying to break through the lock.
On the third attempt, the restriction lock suddenly vanished without a trace.
Just as Lu Ye was surprised, the storage bag in his hand suddenly burst into flames. He quickly threw it away, watching it burn to ashes in a short timeâŠ
Can it be like this? Lu Ye frowned.
Only then did he realize that the restriction lock on a storage bag served not only as a protective measure to prevent strangers from taking the items inside but could also destroy the entire storage bag in critical moments.
This was a "better to break than to be broken" approach.
It seemed that without special unlocking techniques, one shouldnât act rashly. Destroying the storage bag was a minor issue, but if there were hidden dangerous restrictions within the locks, it could lead to injury.
Lu Ye put away the remaining storage bags and checked on the rabbit.
It was fine, still lively and cute.
Holding the rabbitâs head, he twisted it hard, and with a snap, he thought, such a cute rabbit must taste delicious.
He was now certain that even if the Barrier-Breaking Fruit didnât have the power to break barriers, it wasnât poisonous.
Lu Ye felt completely at ease. He walked to his cultivation spot, took out a mat, sat cross-legged, and then took out the Barrier-Breaking Fruit, taking a bite.
The juice flowed, leaving a sweet and fragrant taste. Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and quickly finished the fruit.
The fruit had no seeds, similar to a cherry tomato.
After savoring the taste, Lu Ye closed his eyes and focused, feeling the effects.
Initially, there was no change, but soon a warm current surged from his lower abdomen, similar to the feeling he had when taking spiritual pills for cultivation. However, unlike the spiritual pills, which converted their energy into spiritual energy or blood qi, the warm current from the Barrier-Breaking Fruit was a force he had never felt before.
The warm current gathered in his abdomen, and Lu Ye tried to guide it into his Source Spirit Acupoint.
It went smoothlyâŠ
The warm current flowed from the Source Spirit Acupoint to the second acupoint, then the third, fourthâŠ
In no time, it crossed the eighth acupoint and continued to the ninth.
In the next instant, Lu Ye felt the barrier at his ninth acupoint rapidly dissolve, like snow melting under the sun!
This discovery shocked him. He knew that each time he opened an acupoint, it required a lot of effort, repeatedly guiding spiritual energy to impact the barrier. The process was also very uncomfortable, like someone hammering the area, causing a tingling sensation with repeated impacts.
But now, there was no impact, no discomfort. The barrier dissolved quickly under the effect of the Barrier-Breaking Fruit.
Compared to the usual method, the Barrier-Breaking Fruit was truly a blessing for cultivators.
No wonder Yi Yi had looked at him strangely when he asked about the use of the Barrier-Breaking Fruit. It seemed that the Barrier-Breaking Fruit was not an unknown item, and every cultivator might know about this spiritual fruit.
