In what seemed like only a few breaths of time, that small sapling had already grown to the thickness of a person's thigh, and was about five to six zhang tall. Jun Moxie smiled slightly, and the fingers on his left hand moved. The light green halo suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a layer of dark green halo …
With a bang, that sapling of the Rainbow Holy Tree actually shot straight up into the sky, reaching a height of over twenty zhang. The trunk of the tree also instantly thickened, and the crown of the tree was like a dark cloud that had suddenly gathered in the sky, rapidly expanding. In an instant, it had already covered the sky and the earth …
After a few breaths of time, it seemed like the sapling could no longer be called a 'sapling', because the trunk of this newly born Rainbow Holy Tree had already reached a diameter of three to four meters. Countless nine-pointed leaves spread out, gently swaying, and the entire tree also emitted a faint seven-colored halo …
After a while, in the dense foliage of this tree, a rich yet clear fragrance gradually emitted out. Little seven-colored flowers suddenly appeared, in clusters of seven, and on the entire tree, there were actually as many as seven clusters!
Jun Moxie was stunned for a moment. Don't they only form two clusters every five hundred years? Why are there as many as seven clusters appearing on this tree? Could it be a genetic mutation?!
Just as he was thinking about this question, this Rainbow Holy Tree that had just been planted in the Hongjun Pagoda for less than a quarter of an hour actually began to bear fruit for the first time.
As the petals wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, the Rainbow Fruits instantly filled the branches, no more, no less, 49 by seven by seven! There were really seven clusters!
Then, in the blink of an eye, the entire Hongjun Pagoda was filled with a rich clear fragrance!
Only then did Jun Moxie stop the input of the Power of Wood. He did not want to be kicked out of the Hongjun Pagoda like the last time …
Taking a closer look at the Seven Colored Holy Fruits, they were exactly the same as the ones he had eaten before. There was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about them … The only difference was that the Seven Colored Holy Fruits here were at least twice the size of the ones he had eaten before! It seems that the things cultivated in the Hongjun Pagoda are much stronger than those cultivated in the outside world …
Another thing was … It seemed like the Lord Holy Tree wasn't playing tricks on him …
Worthy of praise …
When people respect us, we have to return the favor. We still have a little bit of a conscience!
It seemed that Jun Moxie did not know that when the Lord Holy Tree was a seed, it had only soaked in the essence and blood of its predecessor for a short while. It was not like this seed, which had eaten and drunk its fill …
This treatment was two completely different things!
To the rainbow tree, this was the most primitive innate foundation! It could even be said that the Seven Colored Holy Fruit in Jun Moxie's Hongjun Pagoda was the true and complete Seven Colored Holy Fruit …
Just as Jun Dashao heaved a sigh of relief, another change occurred in the Hongjun Pagoda. From the body of the Holy Tree, a rainbow shot out, crossing the boundless space and connecting with the Exquisite Lotus on the other side …
Then, this rainbow stopped in the middle and turned into a real rainbow bridge …
Jun Moxie could even faintly feel that through the transmission of this rainbow bridge, the growth of the Exquisite Lotus and the rainbow tree had sped up. It was actually a mutually reinforcing effect …
Too great! This is really too great!
Jun Moxie waved his fist excitedly. He left the seven clusters of Seven Colored Holy Fruits on the tree and strengthened it a little to ensure that these fruits would not fall to the ground. Then, he went out.
Actually, this action of Jun Dashao's was purely unnecessary. The effect of the Seven Colored Holy Fruits hanging on the tree was much better than plucking them. Furthermore, they would not fall unless forcefully plucked …
"Hm? What's going on? " Jun Dashao was originally in a good mood after finishing his matters with the Seven Colored Holy Fruit Tree and the Exquisite Lotus. But when he came out, he seemed a little unhappy.
The Qian Xun Serpent Queen had already been fished out by the Holy Tree and was lying flat on the ground. However, she still looked like a sleeping beauty, and there were no signs of her waking up. She was basically the same as before, and even her aura and condition did not change. Jun Dashao could not help but raise his eyebrows and grunt in displeasure.
"Master, master, calm down … This lady is already fine, she's really fine." Jun Dashao's grunt almost scared the Lord Holy Tree out of his wits. He hurriedly explained, "I've already treated her injuries … If you don't believe me, you can take a closer look. I wouldn't dare to lie to you even if you gave me a hundred guts …"
At the end of his words, the Lord Holy Tree's voice seemed to carry a hint of sobbing.
Jun Moxie turned his head to take a look, and could not help but jump in fright. The Holy Tree's blood essence that was previously almost full had disappeared by more than half … From the looks of it, there was only a thin layer left, barely enough to cover the bottom of the pool. It seemed like the Soft Tree had really put in a lot of effort …
"Since you said that she's already been treated, why hasn't she woken up yet?" Jun Moxie walked to Qian Xun's side and put his hand on her wrist. He was instantly overjoyed. The Holy Tree's blood essence really had the ability to seize the heavens and earth. The Snake King's wrist meridian had already returned to normal, and his heartbeat was no different from a normal person's. Moreover, his faint breathing had also returned to normal, stable and smooth. It was as if he was in a deep sleep …
"Sir … Your little … mistress was severely injured previously. Based on her injuries, there should have been no way to save her, but you must have used a lot of heavenly treasures to create an environment that is close to a 'fetal breathing' state for her, helping her retain the last shred of vitality and holding on until now. Although she has regained her vitality because of my Holy Tree's blood essence, she has been in a deep sleep for too long. Whether it is her spirit, mystic energy, or physical body, they are all in a most primitive state. If she rashly wakes up, it will put a huge burden on her spirit and body. If she can't bear it, it will inevitably trigger an irreversible negative effect …"
The Lord Holy Tree felt wronged. "So I need you to nurse her for a period of time, Sir. As long as she wakes up naturally from this deep sleep, all the negative effects will not exist …"
The Lord Holy Tree felt really wronged. This time, he was really thinking about the sleeping beauty. She slept alone for a few months. During this period of time, no matter how much effort the people who were responsible for taking care of her tried to arrange a living environment for her, it was never better than eating and drinking on her own!
Moreover, she was in such a serious condition where she was 99% likely to die. It was already good enough to be able to feed her some soup and water every day … If she really woke up abruptly, he believed that her internal organs and bodily functions would not be able to bear it! This needed to be a gradual process …
Of course, the Lord Holy Tree had made this arrangement with consideration for himself. If this sleeping beauty had a problem because her body could not bear the burden as soon as she woke up … then he would inevitably turn into ashes …
Therefore, the Lord Holy Tree had no choice but to do this.
"Oh, what you said makes sense … I understand." Jun Moxie naturally understood this logic, but he was just confused because he was too concerned. It was inevitable that people would feel the same way.
Although Jun Dashao was not a good person and was very unreasonable and black-bellied most of the time, he would still be reasonable when it was time to be reasonable!
"Thank you, thank you, please understand …" The Lord Holy Tree's eyes were almost brimming with tears. To be able to gain the approval of this robber in front of him was really not easy …
"En, you've indeed handled the matter of saving people very well. I'm very satisfied. I'll give you what I promised you later. However, I have another question to ask you, and I hope that you can answer it honestly. This Seven Colored Holy Fruit of yours … should be more than two batches a year, right?" Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows and looked at him.
The Lord Holy Tree was stunned. Then, he started sweating like a waterfall … This secret … How did he know? Could he be lying to me? Could he?
Looking at Jun Moxie's confident expression, the Lord Holy Tree did not dare to lie in the end. Since he had decided to tell the truth, he might as well spill the beans and spill the beans. "Yes, Sir, you're really perceptive … But … Sir, I had no choice but to do that. I have to live too …"
Live?!
Jun Moxie looked at the Lord Holy Tree in front of him with a doubtful gaze. What did the number of fruits have to do with your survival …?
"Sir … Everyone in the world will grow old and die. This is very normal, isn't it? In fact, all living beings in the world are included in this category! "
The Lord Holy Tree said with a bitter expression, "Take us trees for example. Although our lifespans are longer than humans, we are also limited in this aspect. No matter what kind of king of trees I am, a spiritual plant of heaven and earth, even if I can live for ten thousand years or twenty thousand years, there will still come a day when my lifespan will run out and I will die …"
This was the truth. Indeed, not many living beings could escape this logic. Jun Moxie nodded in agreement and gestured for him to continue.
"As for the process of a tree's life, I believe you must have some understanding, Sir. I won't waste any more time and will get straight to the point. To obtain the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, one naturally has to go through the process of blooming and bearing fruit. This entire process is a huge loss! To us, it's like you humans giving birth to a child … This thing needs to injure your vitality … Every Seven Colored Holy Fruit contains different life essences … These life essences are the basic conditions for the growth of this Holy Fruit after five hundred years of accumulation … "
"If these life essences are all used for the growth of the fruit … Then, this process is equivalent to me, the Holy Tree, using up five hundred years of its lifespan. Apart from making the tree thicker and taller, there is no benefit to the main body!"
