With a wave of his finger, Yi Tian sent the Ghost Face Flower Vine in his hand toward Mu Ling 'er. At the same time, he flashed toward the ancient tree and controlled the other Ghost Face Flower Vine to extend it underground.
The emerald green vine passed through the ancient tree's body and coiled around it a few times. Then, Yi Tian sent out his spirit power to try and slowly move it away.
In the distance, Mu Ling 'er anxiously shouted, "You dare to steal my main body? You underestimate me too much."
As soon as she said that, the ancient tree's body flashed with brilliant colors. Then, new branches continuously grew out of the trunk and broke the Ghost Face Flower Vine.
Not only that, the surrounding branches rapidly extended to cover Yi Tian. The new branches were as thick as an adult's arm. The Taiyuan Sword Silks circling around him hurriedly slashed at the tree trunk, but he didn't expect that the invincible Spiritual Brilliance Thousand Sword Silks would need to gather dozens or even hundreds of sword silks to cut off a single branch.
As more and more figures surrounded him, Yi Tian gradually found that his moves seemed to be unable to effectively break open a way out. If this continued, he was afraid that he would be in trouble. He wanted to stop, so he formed a hand seal and sent out a green light to protect himself.
Without the protection of the Spirit Brilliance Sword Silks, the oncoming branches converged into bundles and trapped Yi Tian in the center, turning into a 30-foot-wide cage. In the distance, Mu Ling 'er sneered. She reached out to break free from the Ghost Face Flower Vine and jumped onto the tree prison that trapped Yi Tian. She said with a smug expression, "Who told you to brag again? If you're not a diamond, don't try to make porcelain."
Before she finished speaking, Mu Ling 'er's expression changed. She felt the temperature around her rapidly drop, and there were faint droplets of water in the air. Looking down, she saw that many of the branches that surrounded the tree prison were covered in a thin layer of frost. The originally active branches could no longer be controlled at will. A trace of blue light flashed in the center of the tree prison and became bigger and bigger in his eyes.
Boom! A blue flame shot out from the ball of trees and froze all the trees in its path. Mu Ling 'er saw that things were not going well and prepared to leave. Suddenly, a shadow appeared above her head. She looked up and saw that a Ghost Face Flower Vine had risen from behind him. The flower bud at the tip suddenly came down.
Mu Ling 'er saw that the situation was bad and wanted to dodge, but she found that she couldn't move her feet. It turned out that for some reason, the blue ice flame had already surrounded his feet and trapped him in the tree prison, unable to move.
With a bang, the ghost-faced flower bud swallowed Mu Ling 'er and immediately shrank, wrapping her up like a rice dumpling. At first, there was a fierce struggle, but after ten breaths, the struggle became weaker and weaker. At the same time, Mu Ling 'er screamed, "Sir, please spare me. Mu Ling' er knows she was wrong. Please spare me."
After the blue flame flashed in the wooden cage again, a series of crackling sounds could be heard. The wooden cage that was frozen by the Ice Essence Flame was forcibly broken open from the inside out. After a flash of green light, Yi Tian broke free from the trap and flew out.
He turned around and looked at the flower bud on the ground. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he put away his avatar and slowly landed on the ground. Then, he reached out and pointed. The Ghost Face Flower Vine wrapped around Mu Ling 'er gradually rose up, revealing a foot-wide hole through which Mu Ling' er could escape.
However, Yi Tian was not so kind as to let her go. He only let her speak through the flower bud above her chest. The rest of her body was still tightly bound by the flower bud.
Looking at Mu Ling 'er, who was in front of him, he no longer had the arrogance from before. His head drooped dispiritedly and he looked indifferent.
Yi Tian coughed softly and said, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer well, maybe I'll soften my heart and let you go."
"I'm the meat on your chopping block, just ask." Mu Ling 'er did not dare to be stubborn and quickly replied.
In this way, Yi Tian's expression eased, and he carefully looked at Mu Ling 'er's appearance with his Divine Sense. This plant spirit had gained intelligence for a long time, but unfortunately, no one taught it, so it relied entirely on its inherited memories and instincts to fight with him.
If he really did learn some divine abilities and secret techniques, it would take some effort for him to deal with him. Looking at the clear green eyes in his eyes, he knew that his mind was not bad. If he could guide him well, he could become his right-hand man.
It was just that his strength was not inferior to his, and it was difficult to control him. For a moment, Yi Tian showed a hesitant look on his face, not knowing what to do.
Then he glanced at the ancient tree behind him and said, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer well, I'll let you go."
Mu Ling 'er hurriedly nodded and responded, "Please, master, subordinate dare not lie."
Frowning slightly, Yi Tian asked, "Why do you call me master and call yourself subordinate?"
"Master can use the Asura Dharma Body and has a seal on your forehead, so naturally you are my master. I was ordered by my old master to guard the medicine garden, so naturally I am your subordinate," Mu Ling 'er replied.
"How long have you been here?" Yi Tian asked.
"More than ten thousand years?" Mu Ling 'er said respectfully.
"Only ten thousand years? No, I see that your body is at least thirty thousand years old. Are you trying to trick me?" Yi Tian's face sank, and he said coldly.
"Subordinate doesn't dare. This ancient tree body is my father's. It lost its vitality thousands of years ago because its roots rotted," Mu Ling 'er said with a dejected expression.
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression improved slightly. This explanation was reasonable. He had already noticed that the spiritual energy in this ancient tree was in a state of chaos and was close to exhaustion. It was impossible for it to be full of vitality like Mu Ling 'er.
"Where is your original body?" Yi Tian asked with a fierce look in his eyes.
Mu Ling 'er trembled. He knew the meaning behind this. Once he handed over his original body, he would have no power to turn the situation around.
But looking at Yi Tian's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. He hesitated for a moment before sighing and replying, "My original body was born in my father's tree core. Master, please don't refine me into a pill. I'm willing to make a heart demon oath to serve you for the rest of my life."
Yi Tian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm really a dabbler in alchemy. It's a pity that you don't use such a treasure to practice."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Mu Ling 'er and made him fall asleep. Then he took out the Taiyuan Sword and walked to the roots of the ancient tree. He aimed at the roots buried in the ground and viciously slashed. After a flash of green light, an accompanying spiritual plant was born in the middle of the ancient tree. Upon closer inspection, it was a human-shaped fleece flower that was more than a foot long. It looked a bit like Mu Ling 'er.
