Surprised, Fang Zhou clicked open the message. Lines of text appeared before his eyes. It was a private message from a Professional with a Natural Attribute.

This student showed strong interest in the last [Evergreen Fruit] that Fang Zhou had displayed on the trading channel.

In fact, this wasn't the first time. Over the past few days, several Nature Series Professionals had tried to exchange contribution points for this Apprentice-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, but Fang Zhou remained unmoved.

After all, Fang Zhou currently had two to three thousand contribution points. The Professionals who could use an Apprentice-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasure like the Evergreen Fruit were undoubtedly Apprentices themselves. Given their net worth, the number of contribution points they could offer was far from enough to tempt Fang Zhou. Therefore, he hoped to trade for more precious resources rather than engage in a simple currency exchange.

With this in mind, he opened the chat details on the trading channel without much expectation, only for his eyes to widen in pleasant surprise.

[Rainy Night with a Knife but No Umbrella] (Zhang Wu): "Senior Fang Zhou, I am Zhang Wu, a second-year Seed Student and an Upper Apprentice Natural Mage. I heard from Liu Diewu that you still have one last Evergreen Fruit available for trade. Liu Diewu also told me about the types of resources you're looking for. Right now, I happen to have a bottle of [Moonlight Spring Water] obtained from the Flower Elves. An Apprentice-level Professional who drinks a small sip daily can greatly enhance their Soul Nourishment efficiency. This bottle of Moonlight Spring Water is still unopened and is estimated to last for two months. I am willing to trade it for your Evergreen Fruit. I wonder if you're interested, Senior Fang Zhou?"

Accompanying the message was a holographic projection of the Moonlight Spring Water. Crystal-clear droplets shimmered in the interplay of light and shadow as if infused with the moon's essence, each one containing the blessings of nature. What was even more convincing was that Senior Sister Liu Diewu had personally authenticated and guaranteed it, even issuing a signed certificate.

Fang Zhou's eyes lit up instantly, but he didn't immediately reply to [Rainy Night with a Knife but No Umbrella], a.k.a. Zhang Wu. One should never intend to harm others, but one must always be on guard.

Fang Zhou chose to conduct a thorough investigation first. He skillfully operated his personal terminal and quickly opened the search interface. As he worked, lines of text began to scroll across the screen, detailing various records about the Moonlight Spring Water.

For the Flower Elves, the Moonlight Spring was not just a clear pool of water. It was the very foundation of their existence, the lifeline that sustained the propagation of their entire clan.

For outsiders, especially Apprentice-level Professionals, the value of Moonlight Spring Water was immeasurable. As Zhang Wu had described, it was an excellent resource for Soul Nourishment. Just a small sip daily could significantly enhance the soul's recovery efficiency. It allowed Professionals to reach deeper levels of the Soul Domain during Meditation, extending their Meditation time and accelerating their soul's growth.

If I were to compare them, a single sip of Moonlight Spring Water would be far more effective than the [Low-Level Soul Calming Potion] I take daily.

As long as I can verify the effects of the Moonlight Spring Water, trading my last Evergreen Fruit for it is definitely the right choice.

Having made up his mind, Fang Zhou sent another message through his personal terminal, this time to Senior Sister Liu Diewu.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "Senior Sister Diewu, a Senior Brother named Zhang Wu just contacted me. He's willing to trade a bottle of the Flower Elves' Moonlight Spring Water for my last Evergreen Fruit. He mentioned that you've already authenticated and guaranteed it. I was wondering if you could tell me more about this?"

After sending the message, Fang Zhou held his breath, waiting for Liu Diewu's reply.

As Fang Zhou expected, a positive reply from Liu Diewu arrived quickly. Senior Brother Zhang Wu must have spoken with her before contacting me. That's why she was paying attention to my activity.

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Fang Zhou, what you've heard is true.

"The bottle of Moonlight Spring Water in Zhang Wu's possession has been authenticated by our Nature Series Professional Association. It is indeed genuine, and an authentication certificate has been issued.

"He also shared the story of how he obtained it from the Flower Elves with us.

"It was quite a fortuitous encounter. While on a mission for the Sea City Military Academy, Zhang Wu entered the Forest of Nature, a Spatial Fragment where the world of Blue Star has mysteriously merged. There, he was of great help to the Flower Elf Clan.

"At the time, several ferocious Demons were about to slaughter a group of helpless Flower Elves.

"Zhang Wu stepped forward valiantly and repelled the Demons one by one, saving the little princess of the Flower Elves from their clutches.

"His heroic act earned him the profound gratitude of the Flower Elf Clan.

"Moreover, as a Natural Mage, Zhang Wu also used the Nature Series Healing Skills he comprehended during his Awakening. He helped this group of Flower Elves heal many of their kin who had been severely wounded and left on the brink of death due to the spatial fusion.

"Because of this, Zhang Wu forged a deep friendship with this small community of Flower Elves in the Forest of Nature.

"To thank Zhang Wu for saving their lives and for his selfless aid, the Flower Elf Queen personally retrieved the precious Moonlight Spring Water from their sacred land, the Moonlight Spring, and gifted it to him to express their deepest gratitude.

"This is also why Zhang Wu lingered in the Forest of Nature for so long and wasn't able to return to the Sea City Military Academy with us.

"If you hadn't asked me to spread the word to my friends that you possessed an Evergreen Fruit, Zhang Wu might still be in that forest, strengthening his ties with the Flower Elves."
