Chapter 128: The Senior Sister Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness (5)
As soon as Yun Zhen finished speaking, a tearful face appeared on the tree not far away: "Young, no, an old girl! You are so rude. I asked you about your needs out of kindness, but you actually called me a worthless person?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the "wronged" expression just now had become somewhat ferocious, and the originally normal mouth on that face now "revealed" two rows of sharp teeth.
"So! Are you a spirit or a monster?" Yun Zhen was not afraid at all. In this mortal world, there were rarely people or monsters with higher cultivation than herself.
The demon obviously knew this, so it didn't dare to really attack. Seeing that Yun Zhen was not frightened, it was a little discouraged, but it still said: "Old woman, tell me! What do you want?"
Well! After being exposed, I can’t fight back, and I can’t run away, so I just give up and stop pretending!
"Tell me first! What exactly are you? And the people around here have obtained leaves similar to those of the Hongmeng Tree before. Did they get them from you?" Yun Zhen asked the question here.
The tree said disapprovingly, "Although I don't have the complete Hongmeng tree bloodline, I at least have some bloodline. You are a cultivator, so you should know some rules."
The Hongmeng Tree emphasizes equal exchange. If you want to know the answer, you must give something of corresponding value.
Seeing Yun Zhen was still not making any move, the tree became anxious. “Don’t give too much. Just one spirit stone will do! You can’t lose out or be cheated with one spirit stone. I will tell you everything I know.”
It seems that this tree has been wandering in the mortal world for too long and has become extremely poor. Even a spiritual stone is not worth the price it is offered for!
But in fact, Yun Zhen is not "rich" either. After all, there is no channel to earn spirit stones here.
Forget it, just consider it as “information fee”!
He casually took out a spiritual stone and threw it to the tree. Then Yun Zhen heard the tree say, "This is the spiritual stone! I knew you would have it!"
These are natives of the mortal world, not drifters from other continents.
The tree did not care about Yun Zhen and just "ate" the spirit stone into its body. In less than a cup of tea, the tree actually began to "get" shorter, but its trunk became thicker and thicker. When it stopped changing, the tree's height was only one third of its original height.
However, the trunk and branches are much thicker than they are now, and the leaves have also become noticeably greener and more translucent.
After completing the transformation, it began to tell its life story.
It is just the most common tree on this mountain, and it was planted by mistake.
It turns out that every household nearby makes a living by raising silkworms, and the mountain is basically planted with mulberry trees. It was bought by mistake, but before it was planted, it had no leaves, and many people didn't know it was not a mulberry tree.
So it took root and grew on this mountain, but after it grew some leaves, those people discovered something and wanted to cut it down for a while.
just
"Forget it! It's already been planted. It won't be too late to cut it down when it grows into a big tree." Someone advised his companion, "Grow it for another 10 or 20 years. When your son gets married, it can be made into furniture."
For this reason, it continues to live here.
One day, its roots suddenly came into contact with a faint object, and then involuntarily wrapped around the stone-like seed.
"Then I gained spiritual intelligence." Da Shupo said with some pride, "And after I completely absorb the seed, I can grow some special leaves and fruits. I can also seal the space at will, so that many people cannot get close to me."
"You should have absorbed the inheritance seed of the Hongmeng Tree." Yun Zhen guessed, "and before it grows up, in addition to the sealing formation, there should be an escape formation, but I see that you seem..."
"Okay! I just exaggerated." The branches of the tree also drooped down at this moment. "But it was only after I absorbed the seeds that I realized that the seeds had been buried for too long and were not very complete. I only received a little bit of some of them!"
After saying this, it shook its branches a few times: "There is an incomplete 'grain' on my trunk."
Yun Zhen understood clearly that it was probably a way to leave this place and escape the formation.
"Okay, I know I've told you everything. Tell me! Why did you come to me?" Yun Zhen could tell the greed in the tree's tone. It seemed that it still wanted the spirit stone.
It’s just that she didn’t have much of this stuff, so it was difficult to trade it, but she had other things to exchange.
"Tell me first, do you have any fruit from the Hongmeng tree?" Yun Zhen stated the purpose of this trip. "And some of your special leaves, do you have any in stock?"
"You want my most precious thing, it's worth a lot!" Shu was obviously a little excited, "How many spirit stones can you give?"
Yun Zhen was speechless. It had given those leaves to mortals before. Did those people also trade with spirit stones?
This is to discover your identity, and you can raise the price if you want to sit down!
"Why are you reluctant?" Shu seemed a little unhappy. "You should know that these things of mine are very precious in the Immortal Continent. Many big shots will scramble for them!"
