"Here... this is my cave. I am the locust tree. Although I was born as a locust tree, my name is Qiong." Qiong explained.
"Are you a tree demon?! Why did you capture me?" Yu Wan asked in surprise.
"Girl, I know you are already a monk. Although you are only at the first level of Qi training, you are still a loser with five spiritual roots."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment. Although he heard his voice but could not see him, Yu Wan could feel that he was being glanced at. This feeling of being scrutinized was very uncomfortable!
Listen to his meaningful comments again:
"But your wood spirit root is very strong!"
Yu Wan was shocked and doubtful:
"How did you know that I could practice? You also knew that my wood spirit root was strong?"
"Hehehe... I felt some spiritual energy fluctuations in the village last night. I followed the direction and checked. I didn't expect it was you, a girl, who is still practicing."
"I saw you a few days ago, and you were still a mortal girl. I didn't expect that after just a few days, you have become a monk. This makes me curious? How can you practice?" Qiong also asked in confusion.
Yu Wan remained silent and guarded:
What an old goblin! Can this be detected in detail? ! Will Liuli be discovered?
"It doesn't matter. If he can ask questions, it means that he doesn't know my existence. Let's see what his purpose is first." Liuli saw Yu Wan's nervousness and comforted her.
"Um."
Seeing that Yu Wan didn't want to say more, I guess monks all have their own opportunities and secrets, so Qiong didn't bother much.
Then, the male voice who called himself "Qiong" apologized in a sincere and humble tone:
"I saw you practicing and absorbing spiritual energy last night, and there were actually five-color spiritual energy fluctuations around you. As a wood demon plant, I sensed that your wood spiritual energy absorption was even worse, so I wanted to find a time to ask for your help."
"I didn't expect you to come here by yourself this morning, so I took the initiative to invite you over. If I offend you, please forgive me."
When Yu Wan heard this, this attitude of Dragon Claw Sophora japonica was to fight first and then to be polite. Who knows if he would put on a show and wait for me to take the bait?
"Maybe you'll show up? I can't see you. It's very tiring to have such a conversation." Yu Wan suggested dissatisfiedly.
"That's fine."
As he spoke, he saw countless roots glowing with rich green light above Yu Wan's head, beginning to condense downwards into a figure and falling in front of Yu Wan's eyes.
Yu Wan stared at the Dragon Claw Sophora japonica that transformed into a human form in front of her with curiosity.
It was a man eight feet tall, and the traces of densely patchwork textures of tree roots could be vaguely seen all over his body, floating on the surface of the body.
If these details are ignored, this is a gentleman with a face like a jade crown, jade eyebrows and clear eyes, standing tall in a flowing green dress.
It's just these green eyes that add a bit of enchantment to his gentle temperament.
Seeing Yu Wan staring at her curiously, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She coughed awkwardly to break the atmosphere:
"Ahem, you girl is quite brave. You're not afraid of what I did?"
…
Yu Wan was speechless after regaining consciousness: I'm afraid too, but is fear useful? It’s not about facing it yet, why not cheer up!
"Are you... Longzhaohuai? Qiong?"
"Um."
"Then tell me now why you brought me here? What's the purpose?" Yu Wan got to the point.
"I want to make a deal with you. I want to leave the mortal world and need your help." Qiong said sincerely.
"oh?"
"How did you know I could take you out of the mortal world?"
Yu Wan was confused.
Joan explained:
"In a few months, it will be the day when your sect will accept disciples. At that time, you must have your spiritual roots tested. Although you have five spiritual roots, you at least have spiritual roots. There is no problem in entering the sect. I Then I can take the spaceship with you to leave the Fanyin Continent and enter the world of cultivation with abundant spiritual energy, the Luanyuan Continent."
"Then... why me?"
Qiong said with a helpless smile: "It is a helpless move. Thousands of years ago, since I had spiritual consciousness, I have practiced independently and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I was ignorant at first, but now I know that I am different from other plants. I have self conscious."
"As I continue to practice, I find that I can no longer advance to the next level after building the foundation. I gradually realize that the wood spiritual power in this environment is not enough for me to absorb, and I need to practice in a place with abundant spiritual energy. But this stagnation That’s ten thousand years.”
Yu Wan frowned and asked in confusion: "You were able to practice ten thousand years ago, why didn't you leave and go to the world of cultivation by yourself?"
"Hey... it can't be that easy. I'm just a demon plant, a little demon plant that has just practiced Qi and built a foundation. Although we have a long lifespan, we are still children at heart, and now I am only about to become an adult. That's all." Qiong said with inexplicable self-pity.
…
Yu Wan's mouth twitched, then who were you trying to scare by your old-fashioned tone?
"The reason why I asked you for help is because I, as a demon plant, have only just established my foundation and cultivation. I cannot leave the nourishment of water and soil for too long. Furthermore, I cannot leave and move without permission without going through the Nascent Soul Transcendence Tribulation and transforming into a human form." , otherwise it will easily shake the foundation and damage the vitality, and you will need to use media or external forces to move and survive."
"It actually took this tree demon ten thousand years to reach the advanced stage of foundation building. Sure enough, the spiritual energy in this mortal world is quite lacking." Liuli sighed in the sea of consciousness.
When Yu Wan heard Liuli's words, she sent a message: "Is he in the late stage of foundation building?"
"Well, it's really not easy for him to have such a level of cultivation in this world."
Yu Wan couldn't help but asked Qiong in doubt:
"Can't you transform into a human form now? How can you still use it when the Nascent Soul is going through the thunder tribulation?"
Qiong smiled bitterly: "The me you see now is only in human form. I don't have a real human body. You can tell at a glance that I am not human. My skin is like a tree pattern, and my eyes are like a demonic plant." , rather than the color of a human being. Due to my low cultivation level, even though I am now in human form, the soles of my feet are still connected to my body.
We demon cultivators must survive the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation before we can be reborn and transformed into human bodies. At that time, we will be no different from human cultivators. "As he spoke, he raised one foot, and Yu Wan saw that the sole of his foot was connected to several roots on the ground.
Yu Wan looked embarrassed: ...
Seeing that Yu Wan was speechless, Qiong looked at her with a serious and expectant expression:
"And you are the only person I have encountered in these ten thousand years who has strong spiritual roots of water, earth, and wood. In particular, your wood spiritual roots absorb spiritual energy better. If you can nourish me with your spiritual energy, I can move freely and leave here. ."
"What?!"
"You want to suck my spiritual energy to support you?!"
When Yu Wan heard this, she suddenly became angry. Her body instinctively retreated on guard. With a fierce look in her eyes, she stared at the gentle and jade-like Qiong in front of her and sneered sarcastically:
"Ha! You do know how to plan!"
Seeing Yu Wan's misunderstanding, Qiong explained:
"It's not what you think. Although I do need to absorb spiritual energy from you, when I absorb spiritual energy, I only seek your mixed spiritual energy for my nourishment and survival."
"At the same time, I will also breathe out the purified wood spirit energy and give it back to you."
"Speaking of it...it's you who benefited a lot."
Yu Wan looked suspicious, and asked Liuli through a message from her spiritual consciousness: "Is what he said reliable?"
"If you just nourish and survive, that's fine. It's not a big problem. Besides, you're at the first level of Qi Refining. You really don't have anything worth peeking at during the foundation building stage." Liuli said bluntly.
The corner of Yu Wan's mouth twitched: ...I don't expect you to have good words out of your mouth!
"But it's important to be on guard against others. Even if he's gentle and gentle, if he has bad intentions, he won't suck you up? You have to take measures to protect yourself." Liuli reminded with a little conscience. .
Yu Wan agreed with this, "That's right, but what measures should be taken?"
"Then let him make an oath of heaven, or make a contract with you, and you will be his servant, so that you can restrain and suppress him before he loses his strength."
Liuli explained:
"However, it should be impossible to make him voluntarily sign a contract. After all, you are not as strong as others. Besides, when you go to the world of cultivation, you two will be separated and not disturb each other. It is better to let him make a heavenly oath that he will not hurt you. Bar.
In this way, he will be given the light of the oath from heaven. If he regrets and violates the oath, he will be deprived of words and deeds. He will also suffer the pain of inner demons that cannot be eliminated. When he goes through the thunder tribulation, he will have to bear twice as many times as the most powerful thunder. Tribulation, under these three levels of punishment, no one who practices this way dares to violate it. "Liu Li did not forget to tell Yu Wan about popularizing the knowledge of cultivating immortals.
