As Ruth watched, she unconsciously reached out, wanting to grab the green light.
The green lights didn't refuse and began to drift in her direction.
As if drawn to her, the green light even gathered around her automatically, and as it accumulated, she began to absorb it into her body involuntarily.
At first, Ruth absorbed very little, and she didn't feel anything unusual. It wasn't until she absorbed more and more green light that she slowly felt her body filling up, and only then did she realize how precious this green light was.
That is the essence of the plant, a treasure that the little fairy can only dream of.
How could she have stumbled upon something so precious here?!
Ruth couldn't believe it no matter how she thought about it, but when she came to her senses and saw Xu Ling standing next to the sapling, everything that seemed illogical suddenly made sense to her.
After all, miracles are bound to happen where gods are.
Having just witnessed so many unusual things, Ruth was still somewhat surprised, but she had a nagging feeling that "what's the big deal? It's just a treasure."
However, she still had a strong curiosity about the seedlings that could produce this plant essence.
"Master, what is this?"
Xu Ling and Kao Pu also witnessed the little fairy absorbing the green starlight. They assumed that she knew what it was, which was why she absorbed the starlight into her body.
Faced with this question, Xu Ling was immediately puzzled: "Don't you know what this is?"
If she didn't know and still absorbed it so recklessly, I don't know whether to say Ruth is bold or naive. Isn't she afraid of harming her body?
Of course Ruth knew that.
She nodded: "I know, it's plant essence, which is very precious to little fairies. It can help me increase my abilities and extend my lifespan."
“However,” she changed the subject, “such essences are usually found only in forests and places with abundant life. It’s rare to find so much like this, especially in places like this where you can’t even see a single blade of grass.”
Her words were pointed; it was clear that in a barren land, it would be impossible to plant a sapling like this unless it was something special.
Ruth's gaze drifted subtly over the saplings, but she dared not look at them for too long, fearing that Xu Ling might suspect her of having designs on them.
Because whether it's a little fairy or anyone else, when they encounter such a so-called rare treasure, their desire to possess it will expand infinitely, and everyone hopes to obtain extraordinary power.
Of course, if Ruth had encountered it by chance, and Xu Ling and Kaopu weren't around, she would definitely have thought of taking it for herself.
If such a small sapling can produce such a large amount of essence, what will it be like when it grows up?
Even just imagining it can get your blood pumping, let alone the real thing!
Ruth tried to ignore the sapling and looked directly at Xu Ling: "Master, if this sapling can continue to produce so much plant essence, then you should be careful."
Although there are hardly any people in barren lands, who can guarantee that?
Aren't there also some explorers who are courting death?
Maybe someone will do something crazy and come here, and then they'll find this.
Xu Ling didn't know the answer to Ruth's question either.
She had only been there for less than a day, and the suggestion to plant the Tree of Life was reliable. She didn't even know what the green starlight was, so who knew how many seedlings the tree could produce?
When faced with something she doesn't know, Xu Ling reflexively looks to the reliable source for the answer.
However, Kaopu was also confused. DouDou's eyes were full of confusion. Could it be said that it only knew how to open back doors?
Therefore, when faced with Xu Ling's questioning gaze, Kaopu shook his head.
Fortunately, there was a tree involved, which shook its branches to answer before anyone could ask.
"Lingling, Shushu knows~"
The sapling swayed its branches, attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing Xu Ling turn her head to look over, the sapling said in a childish voice, "The tree can produce a lot! This is still not much because the tree is still small. When the tree grows up, it will be able to produce this much essence!"
Fearing that Xu Ling might not understand, the tree vigorously shook the branches on both sides of the sapling, trying to demonstrate.
Unfortunately, Xu Ling had never studied the language of trees and didn't understand what the sapling was saying. Fortunately, she still understood what the sapling was trying to express from its words.
The seedlings produced so far are not numerous. As they grow and become true trees of life, they will produce even more essence.
Ruth was a little worried after hearing this, but she figured it was safe for the time being.
The essence produced by the saplings doesn't spread much right now, and many Ruth can absorb it, so it's not very noticeable. Unless there are races that are naturally close to nature, such as elves, it's hard to detect.
But what if the saplings grow bigger? They will produce more plant essence and spread it further outwards, especially since the soil in the barren land has been so drastically altered.
Many people understand that something unusual must be amiss, and whether it's good or bad, adventurers will come to investigate.
Ruth: "Master, do you have a way to stop these things from spreading too quickly? Otherwise, it won't be good if someone finds out later."
"If it's just one person, it's easier to solve. But if it's a gang, it's much harder to solve."
This makes a lot of sense. Even Kaopu looked at Xu Ling, wondering if she had any ideas.
I think Xu Ling, as a deity, must have some tricks up her sleeve after more than a hundred years in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, how could she have survived the fierce competition within the Heavenly Court?
Xu Ling coughed lightly, unsure how to respond.
The reliable one didn't know her background and, like Ruth, was full of anticipation, but she herself knew her own background!
