003 Go ahead, mom!
Not everyone can afford this kindness from their daughter.
Qi Lanqing used his spiritual power to remove the green hat on Xing Bin's head without leaving any trace, and burned it to ashes.
She raised her eyes and looked towards the depths of Qimu Sect. In the center of the sect was a giant tree that required forty or fifty people to hug.
The giant tree was broken in half, leaving only a trunk about seven or eight feet long.
The entire trunk has been petrified and is lifeless.
If the giant tree's true body was still there, the crown of its huge true body would probably cover the entire Qimu Sect.
When Qi Lanqing knew about the Qimu Sect, this giant tree had already died in the calamity. How could it still give birth to children?
Could it be that the strange tree spirit is still alive?
Jiang Xin’s previous thoughts were not wrong, so Qi Lanqing did not dare to underestimate it this time.
She was afraid that her daughter would feel uncomfortable knowing that he could hear her thoughts, so she didn't dare to tell her the truth and could only test her secretly:
"My dear, do you see that big tree? It is the guardian tree of the Qimu Sect."
Xing Bin was wondering if his brain was greener than Wan Qingnian's. He didn't hear what Qi Lanqing said before. He only heard her mention the guardian tree, so he hurriedly climbed up the pole:
"It is rumored that this strange tree had reached the level of Void Refining Stage before it fell. If my niece likes it, I will plant the tree and send it to Tianshui Sect."
"Of course, I know that this gift is definitely not good enough in Tianshui Sect. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Qimu Sect has another great gift to congratulate sister on the birth of her daughter."
In order to build closer relations with the Tianshui Sect, Xing Bin shamelessly called Qi Lanqing "sister" all the time without any psychological pressure at all.
In the world of cultivation, only strength and qualifications are considered; gender is not that important.
The monks have a way to find out the gender of the fetus, and Qi Lanqing and his wife have tried it out of curiosity.
All the relatives and friends who were on good terms with them knew that she was carrying a daughter, including Qi Wanyun and Xing Bin, who had just severed their relationship.
Jiang Xin was already sleepy, but when she heard Xing Bin's words, she woke up immediately and strongly rejected him in her heart.
I don’t want this tree! 】
[Shushu is good and bad!] Can eat people! 】
When Qi Lanqing was invited to set up a mountain protection formation for the Qimu Sect, he carefully inspected the Qimu Sect and found no signs of life in the tree, nor did he find anyone hiding in the trunk.
Qi Lanqing was not careful because of his daughter's voice. He looked at the half-broken tree trunk with caution, which was made of the same texture as stone.
Qi Lanqing's spiritual sense in the fusion stage swept across the tree trunk, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
The spiritual power in the trunk dissipated without a trace over a long period of time, leaving only the iron body that the giant tree cultivated during the Void Refining Stage.
etc!
Qi Lanqing suddenly thought of something.
A person in the Void Refining Stage shouldn’t have such a strong torso!
How had she not noticed this before?
There is a problem!
This not only deceived her consciousness in the fusion stage, but also silently affected her cognition.
The moment he realized this, the fog in front of him dissipated, and the broken tree that looked like a blue-gray stone in the center of Qimu Sect was no longer there, but a towering giant tree full of vitality.
The giant tree has lush branches and leaves, and its crown is huge, blocking out the sky and covering the entire Qimu Sect.
The lush branches droop slightly, and from a distance they look like they are hung with fruits.
But a closer look is creepy.
These fruits hanging on the branches are actually living people, there are tens of thousands of them.
The cultivation levels of these people are all above the Jindan stage, and the highest one is even at the Shenhua stage.
Everyone had their eyes closed and their faces were in pain.
A branch stretched out from the crown of the giant tree and penetrated through the heads of these people, as if the people were the fruits of the tree.
Although their cultivation seemed to be still there, their bones had melted away and they had become one with the giant tree.
Many of these people’s faces had appeared in missing persons notices from various sects or families.
Qi Lanqing had seen all kinds of strange things during his practice, but even this scene made his scalp tingle.
The terrifying thing about this matter is not what the giant tree did, but the fact that the giant tree could actually do such a thing under the nose of her, a cultivator in the fusion stage.
Qi Lanqing subconsciously hugged her daughter tightly and wanted to inform her husband.
This demon tree can silently influence her cognition. Its cultivation is definitely not weaker than hers, and it may even be in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
If a fight breaks out, she will have to protect her child and will be the first to be at a disadvantage.
However, before the message was sent out, Qi Lanqing suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately took out three defensive talismans.
Three talismans surrounded her body, and the spiritual power contained in them connected to each other, forming a small defensive formation.
The moment the formation was formed, a force hit the defense formation and directly tore a hole in the three defense talismans.
Qi Lan's handsome brows were tightly knitted together as talismans flowed out from his sleeves one after another. Half of them formed a defensive formation around his body, while the other half flew directly towards the giant tree.
The talisman penetrated the void and appeared in front of the giant tree in the blink of an eye. It crashed into the giant tree and caused a violent explosion.
The area where the giant tree was attacked by the talisman gradually faded, as if a corner of a scroll had been torn off.
Considering the other cultivators of Qimu Sect, Qi Lanqing deliberately controlled the battlefield in the air.
Even so, the powerful force of the cultivator in the fusion stage still shook the heaven and earth.
The cultivators of Qimu Sect had originally come out to check the situation because of the noise caused by her shattering the mountain gate. Seeing this scene, they all used their fastest magical weapons to escape.
Relying on his cultivation in the Void Refining Stage, Xing Bin ran first.
Although there is only one major realm difference between the Void Refinement Stage and the Fusion Stage, the power gap between them is so great that it is unimaginable.
Qi Lanqing is the best among the fusion period, and there are only a few among her peers who can defeat her.
When gods fight, the devils suffer, and not everyone is lucky enough to watch the fight.
Under attack, the giant tree trembled, and countless branches stretched out from its crown to attack Qi Lanqing.
There are emerald green leaves on the branches, and on the leaves are human faces with different expressions, some in pain, some in joy, and some looking hideous and terrifying.
These human faces were either crying or laughing, making piercing and sharp sounds that would give people a splitting headache and a turbulent mind when they heard them.
Several low-ranking monks were so shocked by the sound that their brains burst and they died on the spot.
"Human-faced tree?!" Qi Lanqing recognized the identity of the giant tree and was horrified.
This is an ancient demonic plant that is rumored to have long been extinct. How could it be in the Qimu Sect?
Qi Lanqing did not dare to be careless and directly activated the Qimu Sect's mountain protection formation.
The huge formation covered the entire Qimu Sect, temporarily blocking the crying and laughing of the human-faced tree.
Without the interference of the demon tree's spiritual consciousness, the fleeing monk suddenly ran faster, fearing that he would also be shot in the head.
Qi Lanqing activated the offensive in the mountain protection formation, and arrows formed by pure spiritual energy flew towards the human-faced tree at a rapid speed.
The arrow pierced into the human-faced tree, and a corner of the area attacked disappeared, revealing the azure blue sky behind the tree.
Qi Lanqing realized that this demonic plant was somewhere between reality and illusion, and what appeared to people was just the tip of the iceberg.
The real tree spirit hides in a safe place and controls the giant tree's shadow. If it is not destroyed in one fell swoop, there will be endless troubles.
All the monks of Qimu Sect had fled, and Qi Lanqing flicked his sleeves and threw out a stack of talismans.
The talismans fell from the sky like a flood, but they did not attack the giant tree shadow, but fell directly to the ground, blasting a huge pit in the deserted Qimu Sect.
In the huge pit with flying sand all over the sky, all the buildings were reduced to ashes, and only half of the giant tree stood in the middle of the pit, with its lush roots faintly visible.
The tree spirit was probably hiding deep in the tree roots. Qi Lan was just about to explode when he suddenly heard his daughter sigh.
[I’m so sleepy.] Why hasn’t mother finished fighting yet? 】
[The tree spirit is hiding among the fruit people, watching us secretly. 】
Qi Lanqing's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly looked up at the people crowded on the branches.
After everyone sees through that the giant tree is just an illusion, they will subconsciously suspect that the tree spirit is hiding in the seemingly safest roots, and will spare no effort to attack the roots.
In fact, the tree spirit does the opposite. It hides in the tree canopy, quietly waiting for the opponent to be exhausted before launching another wave of harvest.
What a good plan!
Qi Lanqing suppressed his surprise and carefully looked at the cultivators of various shapes under the tree canopy, trying to find the tree spirit hiding among them.
Jiang Xin in his arms was hungry and sleepy, and his chubby hands were rubbing his face in distress.
[I’m so hungry. I really want to eat some spiritual fruit.] 】
[The trees are so evil. They eat people and then wear their clothes and bear fruit in their image. I can't even eat them! 】
[These are the seeds of bad trees. When they mature, they will become small bad trees! 】
[Mom, go for it!] Don’t be fooled by the fruit! Blow up all the fruits! 】
The human-faced tree is rarely mentioned in ancient books, and Qi Lanqing knows very little about it.
She originally wanted to save the people on the tree, but when she learned that they were just seeds of the human-faced tree, she no longer hesitated and directly commanded all the talismans to attack the fruits on the tree crown.
The tree spirit, who had been hiding in the fruit man and enjoying the fruits of his labor, was shocked.
Why doesn't this person play by the rules?
