Street market.
Xia Tianqiong was strolling around when a tree ghost suddenly approached her. It had dark skin and looked like an old farmer.
"Guest, take a look at my Treehouse Fruit! It's cheap and useful, buy a few!"
Xia Tianqiong turned her head and saw that the other person was holding something in their hand, about the size of a fist.
It is shaped like a rugby ball, with pointed ends and a bulging middle.
He casually asked, "Treehouse Fruit? What a strange name. Is it tasty?"
The old tree, with its eager smile, resembled a warm-hearted salesman.
"This is not for eating. It is created by using the power of the underworld to grow a treehouse. Moreover, once it matures, it will definitely transform into a monster. At that time, the treehouse can be moved to any location at will."
"Can a treehouse grow from it?"
Xia Tianqiong immediately became interested, "Tell me in detail, and it would be best if you could demonstrate it for me."
"Alright! I'll demonstrate for you now."
The old tree spirit held the treehouse fruit in one hand and infused it with a stream of nether energy.
Then the sharp ends of the fruit began to break apart, with tender green leaves growing from one end and white, tender roots growing from the other.
The old tree spirit casually tossed the treehouse fruit on the ground, and it automatically burrowed into the soil and began to grow wildly.
In just a few breaths, it grew into a sapling more than a meter tall.
The old tree spirit then reached out and grasped the tree trunk, continuously channeling its nether energy into it.
The sapling grew bigger and bigger, quickly reaching a height of over two meters. At this point, a spherical bulge appeared in the middle of the trunk.
As the sapling grows, the spherical bulge also rapidly increases in size.
"This ball is a treehouse, and it's empty inside. During the growth process, you can use your mind to change its shape; you can make it grow into whatever shape you want it to be."
As the old tree spirit spoke, it demonstrated, and with its explanation, the spherical bulge gradually grew into a cuboid.
Several square gaps of varying sizes appeared on two of the sides, revealing the space inside.
Xia Tianqiong understood; the gap was a pre-reserved door and window.
This tree is really interesting; it can control its growth shape with its mind!
A moment later, the old tree withdrew its hand, and the sapling stopped growing.
It can no longer be called a sapling; it should be called a big tree, as tall as five or six meters.
The tree has a lush canopy that resembles a mushroom cap. The so-called treehouse is located in the center of the trunk, more than two meters above the ground.
From a distance, it looks like a tree with small shipping containers growing on it.
Xia Tianqiong was very curious. He slightly bent his knees, jumped up on the spot, and passed through the oval doorway, directly into the wooden house.
The treehouse is about four meters long and two meters wide, with an interior area of about seven or eight square meters.
It can indeed be used as a house, but it's a bit small and can only accommodate one person.
He stood at the window, looking down at the old tree spirit below. "This wooden house is a bit small. Can it continue to grow?"
The old tree spirit quickly replied, "Of course, as long as you continue to inject Netherworld power, it can grow indefinitely. However, the more you do it, the more it will consume."
"I'll give it a try!"
"Okay, feel free to try."
Xia Tianqiong placed his palm against the wall of the treehouse and slowly channeled Netherworld power into it.
The tree did indeed continue to grow, and he developed a strange, intrinsic connection with it.
It seems that one can control the growth and changes of the treehouse with just a thought.
So he tried it, imagining the treehouse growing into a circle.
They then discovered that as the treehouse gradually grew larger, it eventually became round.
To be precise, it is an oblate spheroid, flat on top and bottom, and round around the edges.
"That's really interesting; there's probably still a lot of potential for development."
Summer Qiong, in a playful mood, immediately accelerated the input of Netherworld Power, causing the treehouse to grow rapidly.
While expanding the interior space, try to make the wooden walls grow inwards.
This worked, and the interior space was quickly divided in two, leaving a gap in the middle that could be used as a door.
In that case, let's partition it into several more rooms, which can be used as bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, etc.
In addition to partitioning the room, he also controlled the floorboards beneath his feet to bulge upwards.
The cuboids that grow out serve as beds, the inverted cones that are thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom serve as tables, and the small cylinders that grow out serve as stools.
Summer Qiong gets more and more inspired the more she plays.
Later, they also added furniture and facilities such as wardrobes, bathtubs, and storage boxes.
"That's amazing! Owning a Treehouse Fruit is like owning a house that comes fully furnished, and the best part is you can design it however you like."
He was having a great time when he suddenly felt the wooden house shaking violently, so he quickly teleported outside.
The tree, which was originally only five or six meters tall, has now grown to thirty or forty meters.
At about one-third of the way up the trunk, there is a flattened spherical treehouse with a diameter of more than ten meters.
The key thing is that it has come back to life!
It is pulling the tree roots out of the ground, and then using the roots as legs, it wanders around.
Has it turned into a tree monster?
Xia Tianqiong frowned slightly.
If you were living there peacefully, and then the house suddenly turned into a tree and ran away, that would be a joke.
The old tree spirit quickly explained, "Guest, the Netherworld power you used was too pure and too much, causing it to develop sentience prematurely and transform from a tree into a spirit. But don't worry, as long as you sign a contract with it, you can control it."
"Is it easy for this kind of treehouse to become a ghost?"
A question arose in Xia Tianqiong's mind.
His tree spirits told him that for a tree to transform into a spirit, unless there is a special opportunity, it would take hundreds or thousands of years, and the probability is very low.
For example, the primeval forest here has only given birth to a few thousand tree monsters.
As the old tree ghost chased after the fleeing treehouse, it turned back and shouted.
