Thereafter, Mr. Gong Yu and others forced him to help them search for the Energy Fruit. They searched several places without any luck, with not a single Energy Fruit found, leading to their growing frustration.

Mr. Gong Yu was ready to kill, suspicious that Liu Du had deceived him. Had it not been for Xiao Mu's timely intervention, Liu Du might have lost his life.

"It's alright!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand, signaling for Liu Du to get up.

After that, Xiao Mu asked, "How effective is your Earth Listening Technique in finding the Energy Fruit Tree?"

Xiao Mu had grown suspicious from listening to Liu Du's conversation with Mr. Gong Yu, questioning Liu Du's capability to find the Energy Fruit.

Liu Du felt a pang of anxiety, realizing Xiao Mu was doubting his abilities, and quickly said: "Mr. Xiao, my Earth Listening Technique can't guarantee a hundred percent success in finding the Energy Fruits."

"But, I dare say that in this whole Infinite Valley, when it comes to locating Energy Fruits, there's definitely no Mutated Being that could match me."

"Oh!"

Involving the search for the Energy Fruit, Xiao Mu was vigilant and did not fully trust Liu Du's words, "Now, show me your Earth Listening Technique. Let me see just how effective it is in locating Energy Fruits."

"Certainly."

Liu Du looked relieved but was still tense: "Mr. Xiao, please excuse my humility."

Soon, Liu Du's figure turned blurry and transformed into a large willow tree. The long roots of the willow tree plunged deep into the ground, spreading out into the distance.

It was clear that Liu Du was employing some special Divine Powers, and soon enough, the giant willow tree he had turned into radiated a green radiance.

This green radiance spread from the roots and stretched far along the ground.

Two large wooden ears grew from the willow trunk, swaying in the wind, keenly listening to the various sounds between Heaven and Earth.

Invisible sound waves became physical, unraveling along the green radiance, and filtering into the large wooden ears.

The wooden ears trembled, showing that Liu Du was carefully analyzing and distinguishing these sounds.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu was amazed.

Regardless of Liu Du's own abilities, just this unique Earth Listening Technique alone made him stand out from all the other Mutated Beings in terms of finding the Energy Fruit.

Shortly afterwards, Liu Du withdrew his Dharma Body, reverted back to human form, and a hint of pleasure appeared on his face, respectfully saying to Xiao Mu: "Mr. Xiao, when I was listening to the Earth just now, I communicated with various plants within several hundred li. A dandelion told me about the whereabouts of an Energy Fruit Tree. If you head west from here, within a seven hundred kilometer radius forest, there was once an Energy Fruit Tree."

"Oh!"

This time, Xiao Mu was genuinely surprised.

Liu Du's Earth Listening Technique could listen to such far-off places, communicate with various plants within several hundred li, and even inquire about the location of the Energy Fruit Tree from the plants.

Regardless of whether they could find the Energy Fruit Tree seven hundred kilometers away, the mere ability itself would be a great help in locating the Energy Fruit Tree, and this is beyond doubt.

"Alright then, let's get going and take a look at the forest seven hundred kilometers away."

Xiao Mu signaled Liu Du to board the Fire Dragon Vehicle, drove west, and headed towards the forest that Liu Du had mentioned, seven hundred kilometers away.

Several hours later, in a small forest, Xiao Mu stood before a Energy Fruit Tree, a smile on his face.

The growth point of this Energy Fruit Tree was hidden well and hadn't been harvested by anyone yet.

After slaying a giant fly that guarded the tree, Xiao Mu successfully picked nineteen Energy Fruits off the tree.

Without waiting for Xiao Mu's instruction, Liu Du unfolded his Dharma Body and once again began to trace the location of the Energy Fruit Tree.

Soon after, the two set off towards the next location.

Three days later, with the help of Liu Du's Earth Listening Technique, Xiao Mu had found four Energy Fruit Trees in total, yielding a total of eighty-one Energy Fruits.

The four Energy Fruit Trees were not grown together but were scattered in four different locations.

At this time, after numerous exploration collaborations, Xiao Mu had gained a clear understanding of Liu Du's abilities.

The Earth Listening Technique could listen to extraordinarily distant sounds, and as Liu Du had Attained Dao with willow, he could communicate with various plants.

By using the Earth Listening Technique to converse with plants at a far distance, he learned about the growth of the Energy Fruit Tree from various plants.

This was Liu Du's method of finding the Energy Fruit Tree.

Of course, information gathered from plants was sometimes misleading, leading him and Xiao Mu on wild goose chases, which happened quite frequently.

After all, ordinary plants lack mobility capability, so the accuracy of information obtained is not very high.

Despite this, with Liu Du's Earth Listening Technique, Xiao Mu was able to acquire Energy Fruits more easily than other Mutated Beings.

"The yield from a single Energy Fruit Tree is just too small. You can try to find the gathering point of the Energy Fruit Trees. Ideally, a place with three or more Energy Fruit Trees."

Shortly after, Xiao Mu was not satisfied with the search for a single Energy Fruit Tree and suggested that Liu Du look for a gathering place of Energy Fruit Trees.

"I can give it a try, but the gathering places of Energy Fruit Trees are more dangerous. The plants growing there are harder to communicate with, making it more difficult to search."

Liu Du agreed, unfolded his Dharma Body, and began to communicate with plants within several hundred li again.
