004 The fox borrows the power of the tiger
The murderous talisman was heading straight for the human-shaped fruit on the branch, and as soon as the two touched, there was a violent explosion.
The human-shaped fruit exploded, and inside was indeed not flesh and blood, but bluish-white flesh, with a brown core at the dantian.
The explosions caused by the talismans occurred one after another, and the shock waves they triggered continuously hit the giant tree, splitting the giant tree's shadow, making it look like a reflection in the lake.
Seeing that the explosion was about to hit him, the tree spirit hiding in the human-shaped fruit could no longer sit still and quickly broke away from it.
A turquoise light peeled off from the human-shaped fruit. As he left, the explosion caused by the subsequent talisman rushed in front of him.
The tree spirit ran a step slower and was affected by the aftermath of the explosion. The protective spiritual power that concealed its body was shattered, revealing its true face.
He was a young man who looked to be around thirty years old, quite handsome, with a bronze complexion, emerald green hair, and grey-brown pupils. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a human.
A large piece of skin was burned off on his neck where he had just been attacked, revealing the ochre-colored wood texture inside.
As soon as he saw him, Qi Lanqing knew that his daughter was right again.
This tree spirit seems to be only in the Nascent Soul stage, but since it can hide from her spiritual sense, it means that the tree spirit at least has the means of the Fusion stage.
"Why have you been lurking in the Qimu Sect for so many years?"
Qi Lanqing kept asking questions, but his hands kept moving, controlling the talismans to fly towards the tree spirit and secretly arranging the nodes of the formation.
"Hmph." The tree spirit snorted coldly, waved his hand and threw out countless emerald green leaves, cutting all the approaching talismans into pieces.
The moment he made his move, Qi Lanqing sensed a hint of the aura of the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the gap between two adjacent realms.
Qi Lanqing's face turned pale. He didn't expect that the tree spirit had such ability.
She is alone and has to protect her daughter, so there is no way she can be a match for a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
At this moment, she felt her daughter twisting her body in her arms, urging her again.
[Wow, I’m hungry. Why doesn’t mother care about my food? 】
My dear, a disaster is imminent, and you are still thinking about eating?
It’s not that Qi Lanqing doesn’t want to take care of her daughter’s food and drink, but the tree spirit is staring at her. If she is distracted for a moment, both mother and daughter will die without a burial place.
[This tree spirit clone is only in the Void Refinement Stage, why hasn’t mother blown his head off yet? 】
[Wow, he actually disguised himself as a person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. He’s quite smart. 】
[Mother, beat him!] Beat him into small pieces for firewood! 】
The little baby voice cheered Qi Lanqing with high morale. The chubby little hands were waving vigorously and babbling, as if he wanted to raise his arms and do it himself.
Since he is only at the Void Refining Stage, Qi Lanqing is not afraid.
She and her husband were looking forward to the birth of their daughter, and they had prepared everything their daughter would need after birth.
Qi Lanqing took out a small crystal pot from the Sumeru Ring. At the mouth of the pot was a special pacifier designed specifically for babies, filled with Changling goat milk.
The Changling Sheep is a common low-level monster in the world of cultivation. Its wool can be woven into cloth, its meat can be cooked, and its milk is sweet and delicious.
Jiang Xin was just born and has not yet drawn energy into his body, so he cannot absorb too much spiritual energy at once.
The spiritual energy contained in Changling goat milk is not much, but it is rich in nutrients and very suitable for newborn babies.
A faint aura overflowed from the milk jug. Jiang Xin immediately recognized that this was the Changling goat milk that she loved to drink. She hurriedly stretched out her chubby little hands to hold the small milk jug and started to drink it up.
[Delicious!] 】
I can drink ten pots! 】
"No one is trying to snatch the drink from you, so drink slowly." Qi Lanqing patted her back gently to prevent his daughter from choking.
Seeing how loving the mother and the daughter were, the tree spirit's figure floated away without a trace and took the opportunity to escape.
Qi Lanqing has been paying attention to his movements.
Seeing that he wanted to run, Qi Lanqing raised his hand and hooked it. Countless talismans cut through the void and surrounded the tree spirit, cutting off his retreat.
The tree spirit once again exuded the aura of the Tribulation Period, but this could no longer scare Qi Lanqing.
If she was really a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, faced with such provocation from her, she would have been killed without a single trace of armor left. It would be impossible that she was just emitting a little Tribulation Crossing Stage aura.
Qi Lanqing controlled the talismans to form a large formation, directly trapping the tree spirit in the center of the formation.
Lines of spiritual power entangled the body of the tree spirit. He struggled desperately but was unable to break free.
Realizing that his trick of using the power of the other party to bully others had been seen through, the tree spirit panicked and shouted angrily: "You dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid that my real body in the Tribulation Crossing Stage will come to seek revenge?"
"Hehe, who doesn't have the support of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing stage?" Qi Lanqing was not afraid at all. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the formation started to work quickly, strangling the tree spirit directly.
The tree spirit's body disintegrated and turned into pieces of wood.
A little bit of unreal light overflowed from these pieces of wood and slowly melted into the sky and earth, as if it had never appeared.
These lights gave Qi Lanqing a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling, which made her frown.
The original body of this strange tree has already reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but it has a clone in the Void Refinement Stage hiding in this second-rate sect. There must be some ulterior motive.
Unfortunately, there is a certain connection between the clone and the original body, and Qi Lanqing cannot directly search the soul of the clone.
These unreal little spots of light should be the purpose of the tree spirit lurking here.
What on earth is this?
Why did it feel so familiar to her?
"Hiccup~"
After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Xin burped long and contentedly, interrupting Qi Lanqing's thoughts.
She reached out and took the milk bottle from her daughter's arms.
With her hands empty, Jiang Xin's chubby little hands waved instinctively.
[Mom, please give it to me. I can still drink it.] 】
"It's finished, look." Qi Lanqing shook the empty milk bottle in front of Jiang Xin and saw that his daughter's delicate little face wrinkled.
[I still want to drink, but I’m still very hungry~]
Before she could finish what she was saying, she burped again.
Qi Lanqing couldn't help laughing: "Darling, let's take a break before drinking."
Jiang Xin rubbed her bulging belly in disappointment. She really could have drunk a little more.
The unreal light spots that overflowed from the dryad's body slowly drifted towards them.
Qi Lanqing was worried that there was something wrong with these things, so he used his spiritual power to blow the approaching light spots away.
Jiang Xin’s eyes widened.
[Wow, isn’t this the fortune of the cultivation world? How did it turn into a small point of light? 】
Qi Lanqing was stunned.
Is this actually the concrete destiny of the world of cultivation? !
No wonder it felt so familiar to her!
However, luck has always been fickle, invisible and intangible, and it will not be released with the death of a cultivator. It can only be judged based on each cultivator's experience.
Qi Lanqing has killed many evil plants that harmed people over the years, but none of them has ever emitted a light spot of luck after death.
[Wow, this tree is actually absorbing the luck of the cultivation world in secret! That’s too bad! 】
[Mother didn’t let me drink the second pot of milk, it must be because the bad tree secretly sucked away my luck! 】
【snort! 】
Qi Lanqing, who was about to be shocked by the previous sentence, almost laughed out loud when he heard the following words.
My dear, although this tree is really bad, it is for your own good that your mother does not give you the second pot of milk. You can't blame him.
