Lü 'er was stunned on the spot as she recalled the situation back then. She didn't know whether those people who bullied her were experts or not, but she didn't see how much danger Yue Qianchou had risked to save her. It seemed like he had scared those people away the moment he appeared.
She looked at Yue Qianchou with some grievance and pouted. Hearing Yue Qianchou's words, it seemed like he wanted to draw a line between them.
Mu Yuanzi choked for a moment. He didn't expect this fellow to act like a scoundrel, asking for a reward after doing a good deed. He was too tasteless. However, in all these years, only others owed him, Mu Yuanzi, favors. He had never owed anyone a favor. Moreover, this person had indeed saved his granddaughter. Since he had opened his mouth, he wasn't as thick-skinned as Yue Qianchou to deny it.
This was the weakness of a person who thought highly of himself. Yue Qianchou took advantage of this point and acted like a scoundrel.
"How do you want to settle this debt? How much money do you want? "Mu Yuanzi spat out word by word. He was just short of beating someone up. Although his cultivation was high, he didn't have a single spirit stone on hand. When it came to money, he really had a headache!
"Money? I am the dignified Sect Master of the World Commerce. Do I still lack spirit stones? " Yue Qianchou said with a face full of disdain, "I, Yue Qianchou, have always been a straightforward and upright person. I won't beat around the bush. I am about to cultivate a set of wood attribute spells. Your Wood Ocean of Massacre is beneficial to my cultivation. I want to borrow your precious land to cultivate in seclusion. After this, the grudges between us will be settled. How about it?"
Mu Yuanzi's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that this person would dare to say he wanted to cultivate a wood attribute spell in front of him. Moreover, he wanted to do it right under his nose. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was extremely daring! After staring at Yue Qianchou for a while, he stopped looking at him and turned around to face the vast sea of Mu Sha Hai with his walking stick and said slowly: "One year! I'll give you one year's time. I don't care how long you need to go into seclusion. Once the one year period is over, you must immediately scram out of the Wood Killer Sea. After that, you're not allowed to meet Lu 'er again. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die! "These words meant that he had agreed to Yue Qianchou, but he added another condition.
"Grandpa!" Lu-er called out, feeling wronged. Then, she looked at Yue Qianchou and shook her head repeatedly, signaling him not to agree.
Yue Qianchou, on the other hand, turned his head away guiltily, pretending not to see anything. Judging from his past experience, he reckoned that it would not take more than a year to practice the Wood Secret Art. He then shouted, "Fine! It's a deal! "
After hearing the reply, Mu Yuanzi let out a cold snort. Ignoring Lu-er, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the mountain peak. He was not afraid that Yue Qianchou would cause any trouble in the Wood Killer Sea, because if something happened, Yue Qianchou would have nowhere to run even if he wanted to. This was his territory. As long as he did not open the Gate of Wonders, taking care of Yue Qianchou would be a piece of cake.
Under the Ancient Language Tree at the mountain peak, Lu-er buried her head to the side with a depressed expression, not making a sound. Yue Qianchou rubbed his nose helplessly, coughed and said: "Lu-er! Where are your parents? It's my first time here, so I should pay them a visit! "
"Lu-er is a wood spirit, how could I have parents?" Lu-er lowered her head and muttered softly.
Yue Qianchou made an "oh" sound when he heard this. Then, he turned to a relaxed smile and said: "Lu-er! Are you angry at me? " Lu-er did not make a sound, indicating her tacit agreement. Yue Qianchou helplessly smiled bitterly. With a hint of a fawning tone, he half coaxed and half begged: "Lu-er! I want to choose a place to cultivate, can you bring me around the Wood Killer Sea to look around? "
The little lass was soft-hearted and could not resist coaxing. She only hesitated for a short while before revealing a reluctant expression. She pouted and said: "What's so good about the Wood Killer Sea, it's the same everywhere."
Yue Qianchou chuckled and waved his hand to retrieve the two swords with the grilled fish stuck in them. He directly floated in the air. When Lu-er also flew up, he looked around and asked: "Where do you and your grandfather usually live?"
Lu-er heard this and flew into the distance without a word. Yue Qianchou was stunned for a moment before he followed. Flying over a small plain in a valley, he saw a towering tree that had fallen to the ground and bloomed. The lush canopy covered an area of several miles. There were many egrets nesting on the canopy, and on the plain grassland that was enshrouded in white mist, there were many bison coming and going in groups. It was a natural and beautiful scene.
Yue Qianchou did not know why the little lass brought him here, but he saw Lu-er point at the tree on the plain and say: "There is a hole in the tree trunk that spirals upwards. It's a natural residence, and it's very spacious. Grandfather and I live in there."
"Oh!" Yue Qianchou nodded slightly. He thought that it was naturally no problem for people to live in such a large tree trunk, so he asked: "You said that the people in the Wood Killer Sea always let you play mahjong. Are there other people living in the treehouse?"
"Only Grandfather and I live in the treehouse. Other people do not dare to come here and disturb Grandfather." Lu-er waved her hand and pointed at the vast Wood Killer Sea and said: "They are scattered in the forest in all directions to practice. When I want to play mahjong, I will sneak into the forest to find them."
Yue Qianchou replied with an "oh". He wanted to visit the treehouse to see what it was like. However, he thought that Old Man Mu did not like him, and that going there would only be a thrill, so he dismissed the idea. He looked around and sighed. "I'd better find a place to practice in seclusion!"
Lu-er did not object, and the two went straight to the west one after another …
Looking down from the sky, the terrain of the entire Wood Killer Sea was very simple. There were hills, mountains, plains, lakes, and rivers. The ground was mostly covered with green vegetation. There were no deserts, no Gobi, no seas, and no snowfields. It was a planet with green vegetation, and it was not without reason that it was named 'Wood Killer Sea.'
The area of this green planet was not big. It was at most one-tenth of the size of the human world that Yue Qianchou was in. The two flew and stopped for less than a day, and they had already circled the Wood Killer Sea once and flew to the sky above the ancient language tree.
There was nothing to be picky about here if he wanted to practice in seclusion. Finally, Yue Qianchou pointed to a dense forest that was enshrouded in white fog and asked: "There won't be any problems if I go to that forest to practice in seclusion, right?"
"I'll go greet them. They won't disturb you." Lu-er, who was in a much better mood, flew down first, and Yue Qianchou followed closely behind.
The "them" that Lu-er referred to were actually some of the plant demons in the forest. They were all dressed in strange attire, and when they saw Lu-er, they were very respectful. Lu-er told them the purpose of Yue Qianchou's visit, and the group of plant demons immediately obeyed. It was as if Lu-er was their master.
After the plant demons memorized Yue Qianchou's appearance, they all disappeared into the forest, and the silent Yue Qianchou impatiently sat cross-legged in the dense fog of the forest. Seeing that he entered the state so quickly, Lu-er pouted unhappily. She was blaming him for burning the bridge after crossing it.
Little did she know that when Yue Qianchou descended into this dense forest that was enshrouded in spiritual fog, the nerves in his brain immediately twitched, and the vast star map in his brain was immediately activated. However, seeing that there were many living people present, he had no choice but to resist. When all the living people left, he immediately sat cross-legged and entered the state, afraid that he would miss the opportunity to comprehend the Wood Art.
Although Lu-er was a little unhappy, she didn't dare to disturb him. She quietly floated a few miles away, but she didn't go too far. Moreover, she would often sneak back to observe Yue Qianchou's movements.
The forest was quiet, and the dense fog drifted. Yue Qianchou, who was sitting cross-legged, was faintly discernible in the fog, like an old monk in meditation, not moving at all …
After a few days, his eyebrows gradually locked together, as if he had encountered something he couldn't figure out. Lu-er, who had been secretly observing him, was very curious. She didn't know what kind of heart demon he had encountered in the process of cultivation that he couldn't resolve, so she flew and sat on the trunk of an ancient tree not far from Yue Qianchou, and continued to secretly observe Yue Qianchou.
After another half a month, Yue Qianchou's tightly locked eyebrows finally began to gradually relax, as if he had already found a solution to the problem …
He was here in seclusion to comprehend the Wood Art. Outside in the ancient forest, the Great Bright Wheel was becoming more and more anxious under the Ancient Language Tree. The fish no longer had the mood to continue roasting, but it couldn't find a better solution, so it could only wait anxiously under the Ancient Language Tree. However, the others, led by Jin Tai and Bai Qi, were still unwilling to give up. They continued to search in the ancient forest, and they had almost searched the entire ancient forest.
In the blink of an eye, a month's time quickly passed. Lu-er, who felt that it was somewhat dull, gradually lost her patience. She was currently lying on the trunk of the tree with her hands supporting her chin, and her legs hooking and kicking as she watched two praying mantises fight. Just as the two little insects were entangled and biting each other, a strange throbbing suddenly spread out from under the tree. The movements of the two biting insects froze, as if they had also sensed that something was amiss.
Lu-er looked down the tree with some surprise. She saw that the mist around Yue Qianchou was spreading out in all directions like ripples. Not long after, the mist in this area of the forest was completely dispersed without a trace.
Lu-er, who was feeling strange, suddenly stood up. She turned her head left and right to look in all directions, and a strange green splendor appeared in her eyes. She immediately discovered that the surrounding trees and vines were continuously emitting indiscernible specks of green light. They scattered and fluttered towards Yue Qianchou's body and gathered on his body. At first, it was just specks of green light probing. Then, it developed into patches. The specks of green light swarmed into the pores all over Yue Qianchou's body.
"This … He's absorbing the wood element!" Lu-er cried out in shock. Then, she quickly covered her mouth, afraid that she would disturb Yue Qianchou's cultivation.
However, it didn't take long before Lu-er felt afraid. The specks of green light of the wood element were pouring out of the trees in all directions at a terrifying speed, gathering on the cross-legged sitting Yue Qianchou's body in an endless stream. Those ancient trees that had grown for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, as well as the vines on the ground, were all withering at a visible speed …
