"After so many years, there's finally someone who can inherit my mantle."
Zhu Yao guessed that this should be the owner of this ruin, and the "Wood Spirit" should be in his hands. However, he did not have a physical form, so it seemed like he was just a strand of divine sense left behind by the original owner.
"Master?" What should he do now?
"Let's wait and see."
Hearing this, Zhu Yao once again laid back down, and continued to play dead.
Old Bai touched his beard, floated over, looked at the ground, and suddenly froze. "Why are there three?"
Ol 'Amos frowned, feeling a little awkward. "Then choose the one with the best Spirit Root!" He first went to the leftmost Lu Cha's position to take a look, and muttered to himself, "Dual Spirit Veins of Fire and Earth. Although it's a good aptitude, it's not compatible with my cultivation technique."
Hence, he moved in front of Xiao Yi. For a moment, his eyes shone, and his face revealed a hint of joy. Taking over, he inspected the Spirit Veins, and the joy in his eyes grew even stronger. "Metal and Wood Dual-spirit Veins, good good good!" He consecutively said the word 'good' three times, and his eyes narrowed into a line. Finally, he looked towards Zhu Yao.
Zhu Yao felt that this old man was most likely trying to choose a disciple with the best Spirit Veins, and then pass down his Mystic Arts and "Wood Spirit" to that person. After all, this was how it was portrayed on television.
She was very confident in her own aptitude. The only thing she could bring out was her Lightning Spirit Root.
Sure enough, the old man also reached out to check her aptitude. As expected, his face also revealed a surprised expression, and he almost blurted out, "It's thunder!"
The old man glanced at her, and then glanced at Xiao Yi who was in the middle. Then, he decisively turned around and walked towards Xiao Yi. "Let's still choose this child."
F * ck me!
Was there a need to be so biased?
Zhu Yao could not help but jump up. "What happened to choosing the best Spirit Vein?"
"You … Why are you awake?" The old man was startled, as he looked at Zhu Yao who had suddenly stood up with a face of disbelief. "Impossible. How could a Gold Core Stage cultivator resist that pressure? "
"None of your business!" Zhu Yao could not help but roll her eyes. She had a fiery temper in the first place, and she hated manipulations in the dark the most. Furthermore, the other party was just a soul, so he couldn't do anything to her. "Didn't you want to choose the one with the best aptitude? Between him and me, which one has better aptitude? "
"Ahem ahem!" Laozi coughed awkwardly. "Little kid, don't get too excited. Your aptitude is good. But I got along well with this boy, so I decided to pass it on to him. "
"You're already dead, so what's the use of fate?" Zhu Yao simply did not believe him. Earlier, when he was testing his Spirit Veins, she had already felt it. Clearly, he despised her and Lu Cha very much, however, he treated Xiao Yi differently. A joyful expression appeared on his face.
Sizing up the ghost, he asked, "You're not a glass, are you?"
"Glass? What is glass? "The old man was stunned.
The more Zhu Yao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. "In other words, you're gay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man immediately panicked. "You, you, you, you, you, you are spouting nonsense!"
"Then why are you blushing?" His face was so red that even his white beard couldn't cover it.
"It's hot every day!" The old man frantically fanned himself. "This old man, this old man, this old man, how could I possibly take a liking to this brat?"
She did not say that he had fallen for Xiao Yi either. Does this count as a confession?
Zhu Yao was already a hundred percent certain. So he really was a gay man, no wonder he looked down on her and Lu Cha.
"Little doll." The old man faked a few coughs. "This old man can see that your comprehension is not bad. To be able to meet you here, it can be considered fate. Although I can't pass down my cultivation technique to you, I can't pass it on to you. Although I can't pass down my Mystic Arts to you, I have a few treasures here, how about I give you one? "
Was this a bribe? She just happened to be unable to find an excuse to obtain the "Wood Spirit".
"Really?"
"Of course it's real!"
"Then I want the" Wood Spirit "…"
"…" The old man instantly choked, and looked at her with even more shock. "How did you know that I have this!?"
"Don't bother about how I know. Are you going to give it to me or not?"
"This …" The old man's expression turned even uglier, as he turned to look at Xiao Yi on the ground. "It's not that I'm unwilling to give it to you, it's just that this item is a Wood Spirit, and it won't easily recognize a master. Furthermore, this' Wood Spirit 'is beneficial to my disciple's cultivation. "
"If you don't give it to me, I will tell everyone in the cultivation world that you're a glass."
The old man instantly softened. "Let's talk this through." Gritting his teeth, he turned around and waved his sleeves. The surrounding fog dispersed a little, and six wooden boxes appeared in front of him. "Little doll, this' Wood Spirit 'has been with me for many years, yet, I'm still unable to tame it. It can be seen that fate is needed to control a spiritual object of this level. There are six boxes here, choose one. If … Ehhhh! "
Before waiting for him to speak, Zhu Yao had already walked over, and picked up the one on the right.
The old man's face was filled with shock that had yet to recede, as he looked at Zhu Yao who was already calmly holding onto the box. "Y-Y-Y-You … How did you know which box the Wood Spirit is in?"
Zhu Yao's expression darkened as well. It was very hard for her to not recognize it, alright? The hell, because there were only two simplified Chinese words floating above that box, "Wood Spirit". And, it was the same as the word "bug" on Xiao Yi's face. It was bolded and had the same design. It was hard for her to not recognize it, alright?
"Could it be that in this world, there's really someone with such luck!?" The old man muttered to himself, and the eyes he looked at her with were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Zhu Yao however could not be bothered with him, and opened the box.
The funny thing was, inside the box, there was only a little sapling, and it was even the kind of sapling that only had two leaves. It was currently twisting its white and tender branches, twisting left and right as it danced.
Probably because it was suddenly interrupted, that little sapling paused for a moment. It slightly raised its head, and then, it let out a soft 'Chick?'
"Chick?" (Four sounds!)
“”
Are you a chicken?
Zhu Yao was speechless. That little sapling however, was extremely embarrassed as it closed its two leaves, looking as though it was embarrassed from being caught laughing.
"You're a Wood Spirit?" Zhu Yao asked.
Only then did that little sapling slowly open its leaves. It bent its body, and as though it was answering her, it let out another "Chick".
What a spiritual little sapling. Zhu Yao could not help but poke its leaves, and praised. "It's pretty cute!"
When her words fell, a 'pu pu' sound could be heard, and a little red flower instantly bloomed in the middle of the leaves.
"… …" Zhu Yao had a subtle feeling.
That little sapling however, used its two leaves to hold onto the little red flower in the middle. With a forceful pull, it plucked the flower from its body, and then, handed it over to her.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Chick ~"
Why did she feel that this "Wood Spirit" was a little strange? Was it always so friendly to people whom it met for the first time?
Zhu Yao twirled the little red flower in her hands with a confused look. The old man however, suddenly came over, and said with a stern look. "Little doll, you have to be careful. This' Wood Spirit 'isn't as it looks on the surface …"
Before he could even finish, the little sapling suddenly extended its left leaf, instantly turning into the size of a palm. It then slapped the old man's face with all its might.
The old man did not even have the time to cry out, as he was already sent flying dozens of meters away by its slap.
“”
The little sapling once again returned to its original size. Twisting its white and tender branches, it acted cute at her. "Chick ~"
As though it wasn't the one who sent the old man flying earlier.
Zhu Yao: "… …"
Seeing that she was ignoring it, the little sapling grew anxious. It leaped out of the box and onto the edge of the box. It even used its two leaves to hug onto one of Zhu Yao's fingers, and rubbed it against its body.
"Chick ~"
So cute. Alright, she gave in.
"Do you want to leave with me?"
The little sapling bent its body. "Chick!"
For a moment, Zhu Yao was a little troubled. She had already obtained the Wood Spirit, but where should she put it? After all, spiritual objects could not be placed in her storage bracelet, and the most important thing was to not be discovered by Xiao Yi.
"Little girl, you can't bring this' Wood Spirit 'away." Just as she was hesitating, the old man suddenly floated out again. The loving expression on his face instantly disappeared without a trace, and was instead dyed with a hint of darkness.
What did the Wood Spirit signify? The control over all of the wood spiritual energy in the entire world, and all of the spiritual plants. No one would easily hand over a treasure like this to someone else, let alone someone like him who had cultivated for several tens of thousands of years. Although he had long fallen, he was still unwilling to accept it.
The old man waved his hand, and the box in Zhu Yao's hands instantly closed, flying into his hands.
She knew it wouldn't be this simple. Zhu Yao could not be bothered to waste her breath with him either, as she summoned her own flying sword.
"I can't be bothered to waste my time with someone like you who doesn't keep his word. Let's do it!"
The old man might have been a figure when he was alive, and at the very least, he was a practitioner above the Nascent Soul stage. There was even a possibility that he was a practitioner from the Ancient Era. However, no matter how strong he was, he was still just a soul right now. She did not believe that she could not defeat him.
"Hoho, you're already so arrogant at such a young age." The old man looked at her with disdain. His entire face began to distort, and even his voice began to turn sinister. "You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
He suddenly formed a hand seal with a single hand, summoning a fire dragon. Just as Zhu Yao was about to block it, the old man turned around, and attacked towards the strange door in the sky where they came in from.
Zhu Yao was startled. Why did he have to smash her own door?
Very quickly, Zhu Yao understood what he was trying to do. That door was still undamaged from his attack, but it was no longer as quiet as before. The mystic beast on the door was currently struggling to come out from within.
He was trying to release that mystic beast!
Zhu Yao was greatly startled. First, a head came out from the door, and immediately after, a large half of its body came out as well. As it struggled, it was roaring with all its might. Every time it struggled a little, its figure would double in size.
Zhu Yao's heart trembled. Even though they were so far away, she could still sense the stench of blood on that mystic beast's body. It could be seen how brutal it was.
Finally, that mystic beast broke out of the formation, and let out a long roar towards the sky. It was even more ear-piercing than the previous one. Even though she was resisting with all her might, she was still bleeding from her seven orifices.
Zhu Yao puked out a mouthful of blood. She could no longer stand steadily, and once again fell onto the ground. The pain spread throughout her entire body, and she felt that even breathing had become difficult. This pressure was exactly the same as when she first entered this place. She had initially thought that it was released by the old man, but it was actually this mystic beast the entire time.
That mystic beast seemed to have discovered her. With a leap of its four legs, it ran towards her.
