Fei Qingmu explained, "The Undying Wood is a branch that falls from the Undying Tree. After being refined, it can be used as a vessel for the soul, allowing people to be reborn."
"The Undying Tree is an ancient divine tree that withers every three hundred years. When it withers completely, it turns into a dead branch, which is the Undying Tree. Then the Undying Tree will find another place to take root and sprout again, and so on. The Undying Tree often grows in places that are rarely visited by people and are guarded by accompanying demonic beasts, so the Undying Tree is very difficult to obtain."
"If one is fortunate enough to encounter the Immortal Tree, and the tree is in its growth period, branches forcibly broken off from it will have no effect. Only the section that withers once every three hundred years is the Immortal Tree that can truly give the soul a new life."
"Xiuzhu is a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and his soul power is still strong. Only a divine tree like the Undying Tree can bear his soul."
Fei Qingmu delivered the final fatal blow, "And the one from Yunyang Sect, as far as I know, is the only one of its kind that remains in the world today."
The gray blob on her shoulder seemed to grow heavier and heavier, and Qi Yu couldn't bear it, shrinking back section by section until she almost sat down on the ground.
With a bitter face, she was now being asked by another master, Zhu Xiuzi, to win the championship and get the first prize for him, following her master Yun Gui's request to "bring him glory".
It seems having too many masters isn't a good thing; the pressure is just too much.
She's only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment!
The sect competition is only for disciples, with the highest cultivation level being the Golden Core stage. Those above the Golden Core stage are not allowed to participate.
But it's obvious that with so many sects competing together, there are bound to be plenty of Golden Core cultivators. Asking her, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to compete against Golden Core cultivators and still win first place is just asking the impossible!
She wailed, "Master, Grandmaster, you have far too much faith in me! Do you think you can just take something like this? You have to see if I'm even worthy! Grandmaster, you're so powerful, you could just steal it or rob it, it's much better than expecting a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me!"
Zhu Xiuzi chuckled and said, "Of course, of course. How could my disciple be no match for those trash? Your master once swept through thousands of troops and won the championship. If the master can do it, how could the disciple not?"
Fei Qingmu waved his hand and said, "This old man is not capable of such cunning and deceitful acts."
Qi Yu: "Hehe, I suddenly think that you're quite good as you are, Master. Goodbye."
After saying that, she threw the storybook on the ground, crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and indicated that she was quitting.
Fei Qingmu stroked his beard, smiling without saying a word.
Zhu Xiuzi paced anxiously around Qi Yu. He had been in this godforsaken place for so long, and now that he knew there was a way out, he couldn't wait even a second longer.
"Good disciple, consider this a favor to your master! Once your master gets out, you'll be sure to eat and drink the finest food!"
Qi Yu opened her right eye a crack, looked at the gray ball of fur looking extremely anxious, and snorted.
"No need. I've already gotten to know all the chefs at Ling Shan Tang. I can eat whatever I want. Master, you can't buy me with such a small favor."
“However…” Qi Yu grabbed the gray ball of fur and said, “Master, are you really in such a hurry to go out? Can’t you wait a little longer?”
If he's willing to wait, there's something in the system that might help him reshape his human form.
That double-petaled blue lotus, priced as high as points.
She plans to buy the tools to revive Xu Lanyue.
Having more debts doesn't mean you have to worry. Although double-petaled blue lotus is expensive, it's only a matter of time before I can buy it.
Zhu Xiuzi said, "How long do we have to wait? If Master keeps locking me up like this, I'm really going to go crazy..."
Qi Yu glanced at the points balance displayed on the system panel—550.
Sigh, in the month since she came to the Flying Star Sect, she has only done some trivial good deeds and has not earned many points, only about three hundred. At this rate, it seems that it will indeed be difficult to buy the double-petaled green lotus.
At ten points a day, it would take less than ten years.
It's alright... I guess...
Qi Yu scratched his head and said in a desperate manner, "Forget it, Master. I probably won't be able to get the first one, but I will still try my best to get it out of respect for your teaching. If I can't get the Undying Wood, Master, you can wait another ten or eight years. I will have a way to save you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiuzi beamed with joy and said, "Good, good, good, I can definitely do it."
Fei Qingmu glanced at Qi Yu with some surprise. As far as he knew, there were very few things that could revive people whose bodies were dead, and all of these things were extremely difficult to obtain. Among them, the most suitable for Xiuzhu was the Immortal Wood.
The child said she had a way, but it would take ten or eight years. Why is that?
Could it be that in eight or ten years, another divine object like the Immortal Tree will appear?
Fei Qingmu squinted and tried to figure it out, but still had no clue.
He pondered for a moment, thinking of the silver-haired, red-eyed man who had accompanied the child.
If it weren't for his naturally perceptive eyes that could see through everything, it's hard to say whether he could have seen through the man's disguise.
To be able to command such a person to protect him, this child must be quite extraordinary, and may even know some unknown divine objects.
He smiled with relief and said to Zhu Xiuzi, "Xiuzhu, since it's settled, this old man will take his leave first."
Qi Yu also said, "Master, I'll be going now."
Zhu Xiuzi nodded and saw them out.
Back on the top floor of the Sutra Repository, Qi Yu first saw Yun Gui, who was weakly leaning against the wall and seemed about to faint at any moment, and Feng Xiao, who was standing aside with an indifferent expression.
Upon seeing Qi Yu emerge, Feng Xiao preemptively declared, "I did nothing."
With a stern expression, Fei Qingmu helped Yun Gui onto his lap and examined Yun Gui's wrist.
"Tsk, you're so foolish!"
The two disappeared in the next instant, presumably Fei Qingmu took Yun Gui away for treatment.
Qi Yu was somewhat worried, but Feng Xiao said, "Don't worry, you won't die."
Qi Yu: "...That's good."
She patted the dust off her clothes and said, "It's getting late. Do you want to go back to your space to rest or continue following me invisibly? Meteor will wake up soon, I need to hurry back."
She paused subtly as soon as she finished speaking.
This makes it sound like she's a wife cheating on her husband and trying to get rid of her lover before he wakes up.
She looked at Feng Xiao, whose expression instantly turned sour, and wondered a little.
Feng Xiao's face darkened, and he vanished without a trace. Qi Yu didn't know whether he had returned to his spatial dimension or simply disappeared.
But... ouch...
This feeling of being constantly watched, as if Feng Xiao was still staring at her with a deathly gaze.
Qi Yu tried to ignore it and quickly began to choose a suitable cultivation method for Liu Xing.
After learning that she had been replaced by the villain in the original story due to the plot, she suddenly had a new idea.
I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try anyway.
