The roots that were originally dead have now regained their vitality and are extending underground.

However, perhaps because it has just recovered, the root system is not vigorous. The longest one is only as long as a palm, thin and black, and looks malnourished.

Li Shu carefully sensed the roots and discovered that what they absorbed were not nutrients from the soil, but wisps of evil energy.

That was the evil energy condensed by the large formation arranged in this villa area. Affected by the roots of the old locust tree, it actually extracted a little bit and gathered towards the old locust tree silently.

Every time the old locust tree absorbs a bit of evil energy, its condition will improve a little.

Once a certain amount is absorbed, the roots will grow a little bit.

That tiny bit is invisible to the naked eye, and she wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't sensed it through the contract.

Li Shu perceived it with interest.

After a while, they discovered that 90% of the absorbed Yin Sha Qi was used to grow roots, and only 10% was transported upward through the underground roots. Even so, the branches and leaves of the old locust tree grew well.

Although the main trunk still bears traces of being struck by lightning, the branches and leaves growing out of it are very healthy.

Especially the leaves, which are as green as jade and look full of spirit.

Li Shudu was a little skeptical. Was this really a thousand-year-old locust tree, and not a spiritual tree?

"Maybe it has something to do with the lightning strike."

Seeing that she was staring at the leaves of the old locust tree, Ming Yuechen guessed that Li Shu was just like him, and was surprised when he saw the leaves of the old locust tree for the first time.

Later, he discussed it with Yuexi and finally came to the conclusion that all this was related to the thunder from the sky.

The two of them helped their master resist the thunderbolt, and although they were nearly struck to death, they ultimately survived. Since then, although they were still strange, they didn't have any uncanny aura. They even underwent some changes that they themselves couldn't understand.

The changes were subtle, but I intuitively felt they were good things, so I didn't dwell on them.

If you don’t understand it now, you will understand it in the future. Just live well and wait.

Unexpectedly, the first thing that showed difference was the leaves of Yuexi's companion strange tree.

He had seen the leaves of the old locust tree before. They were a dark green, with a dead air that made people feel uncomfortable just looking at them. But now, those bad feelings were gone.
