Before long, the Little Armadillo made a discovery. Li Yu followed closely behind, and the pair reached a valley. Li Yu extended his Spiritual Sense into the valley, and a Dragon Litchi Fruit tree appeared in his mind. Delighted, he hurried to the base of the tree.
"What a pity," Li Yu said to the Little Armadillo. "Although there is fruit on the tree, it hasn't ripened yet. Let’s head deeper into the mountain range." With that, he continued his journey.
Guided by the Little Armadillo, Li Yu spent five days venturing deep into the heart of the mountains. He searched one deep valley after another, and while he found many spirit fruit trees, he came up empty-handed; not a single Dragon Litchi Fruit was ripe enough to be of any use.
