Chapter 85
"Did you really not see anything last night? I felt like someone was hugging me, just like this." Ji Mingqing stretched out his arms and weighed them.
"Princess hug!"
Bai Cangze shook his head. "That's not the case. I've always been by your side. If there was anything unusual, I would have noticed it immediately."
Ji Mingqing scratched his head and said, "That's true." He probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag again.
"Three thousand boxes, brought ready, five thousand bamboo tubes, brought ready, chairs, brought ready, and the spiritual stones for change, brought ready..."
"Okay, everything is packed! Let's go now!" Ji Mingqing was in high spirits. He got up before dawn. Now that the daylight was just beginning to appear, Ji Mingqing had already packed all his things and checked them again and again. After confirming that everything was correct, he tidied up his clothes and said to Xiaowan in a very proud manner.
"Let's go, let's go now!"
After walking out the door, Ji Mingqing gathered all the people who wanted to go to the stall with him. He thought that today would be considered extra overtime, and that they would lose the opportunity to watch the selection of new employees because of watching the stall, so no one wanted to go with him. As a result, most of the employees signed up.
Ji Mingqing even had to eliminate most of the people, and finally only brought Cui Ding and Xu Yihe, who had been with him the longest, and asked them to each choose two people to accompany them.
After all, he will also go to watch the selection of new people at that time, so he can feel at ease if there are more people at the stall.
"Let's go! Let's set off now!" Ji Mingqing waved his hand, and several people headed towards Kunze Palace.
After arriving at the destination, Ji Mingqing found that he was actually quite late. Many people had already started busying themselves in front of the stalls. After noticing this, Ji Mingqing quickly walked to the stalls, started putting up signs and writing menus, and placed the things he brought on the stalls.
As time passed, more and more people came to Kunze Palace. Even though the selection of newcomers was held at night, many immortals still came early to wait nearby in order to meet their old friends in advance.
Just as Ji Mingqing was waiting for the shop to open, the stall opposite him took out a few cannons and fired a shot in Ji Mingqing's direction.
Just when Ji Mingqing was about to lose his temper, the opposite side even started to fire fireworks at him continuously with "boom boom boom". Not only that, the fireworks also sprayed out unknown petals from the barrel, making a mess on the ground.
If Ji Mingqing hadn't opened the protective shield in advance, his stall would have been messed up by the messy petals. Moreover, he had food here, many of which were already opened and ready for customers to taste. If they got dirty, they would have to be thrown away.
Ji Mingqing was so angry that he wanted to argue with the person he was facing, but he found out that the person in front of him was his old acquaintance Yin Fuzhang!
Seeing Yin Fuzhang, Ji Mingqing thought that it had been a long time since he had received any extra income from Yin Fuzhang, and he thought that Yin Fuzhang must have done something.
With new and old grudges added together, Ji Mingqing didn't want to endure it anymore. He cursed softly and ignored the loud gongs and drums on the opposite side. He waved his hand and put out the firecrackers that Yin Fuzhang had just lit with water.
Before Ji Mingqing could marvel at his ability to control water, he became annoyed when he saw Yin Fuzhang's face.
"Everyone else is setting up stalls nearby, but you're the only one with such a large stall, even affecting other businesses. I think you're doing this on purpose."
Even though there were no guests, the loud noise of gongs and drums made by Yin Fuzhang just now attracted a lot of people's attention. When the sound stopped abruptly, the immortals who loved to watch the fun also slowly gathered around, wanting to know what was happening here.
"Boss Ji, long time no see." Yin Fuzhang smiled and looked at Ji Mingqing, "Boss Ji, what are you doing? I just want to have a good start. If it really affects you, I can apologize, but I won't do it in front of so many people..."
Yin Fuzhang lowered his head and pretended to be pitiful, "Boss Ji, I really didn't..."
Ji Mingqing immediately understood that Yin Fuzhang was pretending to be pitiful, trying to win the sympathy of others and put himself in the position of a victim.
He knew that he had just acted impulsively, but things had come to this point and he had no way to retreat.
But a flash of inspiration came to his mind and a solution immediately appeared in his mind.
Ji Mingqing's expression immediately changed under the gaze of the crowd. He crossed his hands in front of him and said in a low voice, "No, that's not the case. It's what you said, Boss Yin. The goods sold by the vendors nearby are of average quality. They only managed to gain a foothold here because of their close relationship with Kunze Palace."
"Actually, these people are only embarrassing themselves. They are no match for you..." Ji Mingqing looked up at the sign that had just taken off the red cloth, "Fulai Pavilion?"
"I just wanted to quietly advise you that peace brings wealth, but why are you just throwing my kindness away like that?"
"City Lord Yin, is this true?" A middle-aged man with a big beard next to them asked Ji Mingqing and Yin Fuzhang with an unhappy expression.
If Yin Fuzhang really said this, then he must have a good talk with Yin Fuzhang. If not, then he must let the little immortal opposite know that there will be a price to pay for speaking nonsense.
"Island Master Huang, I naturally can't say these words. I've known you for a thousand years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Ji Mingqing immediately looked horrified. "I'm sorry... I was just repeating what City Lord Yin and his men said. I didn't expect to make you all so unhappy. It's my fault."
"Do you have any evidence?" At this time, other stall owners also gathered around, wanting to know what was going on.
Yin Fuzhang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. "Indeed, Boss Ji, if you have any evidence, I hope you can quickly produce it. Although I must report you for fraud right here at the gate of Kunze Palace."
Yin Fuzhang was fearless. He was naturally certain that Ji Mingqing had no evidence. Ji Mingqing had left him helpless before, and this time he believed that this was just a momentary impulse of Ji Mingqing.
Seeing this, Ji Mingqing could only pretend to sigh: "I really don't have any evidence."
"Ha!" Yin Fuzhang laughed. "Since there's no evidence, you can't slander me, Boss Ji..."
"The friend who said this to me disappeared in your house. I can't find him, so how can I have evidence?" Ji Mingqing raised his head and looked around with red eyes.
"Back then, your boss sent his subordinate Wu Qigu to steal the formula from me, but Wu Qigu had good intentions in his heart and didn't attack me. Instead, he became my best friend."
"One night, he came to me in a panic and told me everything. He also told me that if he disappeared, I must not look for him and must not offend City Lord Yin."
"Sure enough, Wu Qigu disappeared the next day." Ji Mingqing beat his chest and stamped his feet, "It's my fault that I don't have the ability. It's my fault that we met in obscurity but were unable to control our own destiny. It's my fault..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Yin Fuzhang didn't expect Ji Mingqing to be so good at making up stories. He was completely different from before.
Wu Qigu had clearly been sent to the small world by him, and the recipe for the Na Lu Mei Drink was also sent back by Wu Qigu. Ji Mingqing said that the two of them were close friends...
That's bullshit!
Yin Fuzhang calmed down and said, "Boss Ji, I'm asking the same question again. Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Ji Mingqing glanced at Yin Fuzhang timidly. "How can I have any evidence? Even the Supervisory Office can't find Wu Qigu's location. How can a mere Near-Immortal like me possibly be able to withstand the power of City Lord Yin?"
"You can't even find anyone in the Supervisory Office? Are you talking about the Supervisory Office of Kunze Palace?" someone nearby exclaimed.
Ji Mingqing lowered his head and rubbed his eyes vigorously. "It was the Supervisory Department of Kunze Palace. When the Supervisory Department wanted to go to Yin Fuzhang's residence to look for my close friend Wu Qigu, they were turned away by Yin Fuzhang."
Everyone around couldn't help but gasp. Doesn't he even take the Supervisory Office seriously?
Is this something you can say in front of Kunze Palace?!
Even Yin Fuzhang, who was good at disguising himself, changed his expression at this moment. "Don't talk nonsense. I am not going to let the supervisor out of the door."
"So when the Supervisory Office asked you for Wu Qigu's whereabouts, didn't you give it to them?"
"I didn't know where Wu Qigu was at the time, so I couldn't give the answer the Supervisory Office wanted."
"It's always someone else's fault anyway." Ji Mingqing said with a look of grievance, "Never mind, I'm just an insignificant little immortal. How can I compare with City Lord Yin?"
Yin Fuzhang saw the strange look in the eyes of the people around him and said, "I just fired a few cannons, but Boss Ji actually brought up so many issues. If Boss Ji is dissatisfied with me in any way, I can apologize to you."
"Why are so many people gathering at this time?"
Ji Ming heard a familiar voice and turned around to find that it was Xiang Wenshu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
When he saw Xiang Wenshu wearing a uniform with the Kunze Palace logo and looking serious, he immediately withdrew his hand that was about to greet him.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Wenshu actually took the initiative to greet Ji Mingqing, "Boss Ji, has City Lord Yin received any news about Wu Qigu?"
Ji Mingqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "No, no, I just came here to ask, but City Lord Yin actually accused me of slandering him."
Xiang Wenshu's arrival actually confirmed what Ji Mingqing had just said. Yin Fuzhang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't understand why the two people were so familiar with each other that they would join forces to slap him in the face at this time.
Seeing more and more people gathering, Yin Fuzhang's face darkened. He lowered his head slightly and said to Ji Mingqing, "I'm sorry, Boss Ji. This salute was due to our inconsiderateness, but Wu Qigu's disappearance really has nothing to do with me. Boss Ji, you can change your mindset and look for someone else."
Ji Mingqing frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Yin Fuzhang's answer, but he had no choice but to endure it silently.
"Forget it, what else can I do now that City Lord Yin has said so?" Ji Mingqing shook his head and pretended to leave helplessly.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see here, the crowd that had just gathered dispersed. However, some contestants who were going to participate in the new talent selection wanted to step forward and ask about some interview details when they saw the people from Kunze Palace. Ji Mingqing had no chance to reminisce with Xiang Wenshu.
When Ji Mingqing returned to the stall, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, and his expression immediately changed.
He looked at Xiaowan proudly, as if he were a winner. "Yin Fuzhang must be feeling very upset right now."
"Why are you provoking him?" Bai Cangze jumped over his shoulder and said, "If you don't like him, I can help you solve it."
Ji Mingqing pinched Xiaowan's paw and said, "He has a background that I don't, so I certainly can't do anything to him. But the salute he fired at us just now was definitely intentional. I saw him ask his men to adjust the angle."
Bai Cangze frowned, "I didn't see it."
"I really saw him adjust the angle, don't disbelieve me." Ji Mingqing was afraid that Xiaowan wouldn't believe him, so he emphasized: "Otherwise, why would I get so excited and go looking for trouble with him?"
After saying that, Ji Mingqing sat aside again. He whispered to Xiao Wanwan, "Actually, I regretted it when I left, but it would be too embarrassing to come back directly."
Ji Mingqing rubbed Xiaowan's face. "Just now I was wondering if I should ask Zhao Yu to help if Yin Fuzhang's neighbor is his friend. But I don't know if there is any deal between the two of them. Even if Zhao Yu stands on my side, I am worried that it will affect their cooperation."
"But fortunately, I'm lucky. The person next to Yin Fuzhang's stall seems to be an upright person, and he doesn't seem to have a close relationship with Yin Fuzhang."
"That's Huang Jiuzhen, the owner of Xihuan Island. He has been practicing in seclusion for a long time and only comes out to communicate with the outside world at times like this, so he doesn't have any bias."
It was also for this reason that Bai Cangze did not let Xiang Wenshu interrupt the commotion immediately.
"So I'm just lucky. Yin Fuzhang definitely doesn't dare to make a move here. This is right in front of Kunze Palace!"
"Aren't you worried that he'll cause trouble for you somewhere else? He's hired someone to hold you hostage before."
"Of course I'm not afraid. You saved me last time. This time, I'll stay by your side. They definitely won't be able to hurt me." Ji Mingqing rubbed Xiaowan, "Just don't leave me."
Bai Cangze turned his head, his eyes were wandering, his heart was beating like a drum. He didn't expect that such an ordinary sentence could make him so upset.
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Mingqing, whose legs were weak just now, has now recovered. At this time, customers have come to the stall one after another.
There was a huge flow of people at the gate of Kunze Palace. Everyone who came here had to touch the gems inlaid on the gate of Kunze Palace first. After seeing this, Ji Mingqing asked Xu Yihe curiously.
"What's that on the gate? Why do so many people want to touch it?"
"That's the core of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree. Legend has it that anyone who touches it will gain the power of Hongmeng and have their wishes come true. The current treasure tree is actually the second-generation Hongmeng Treasure Tree. It's a reincarnation of the first generation, and took root in the same place." Xu Yihe explained to Ji Mingqing, "It is said that the first generation Hongmeng Treasure Tree was the pillar of heaven and earth, and it was dozens of times more lush and majestic than the current Hongmeng Treasure Tree."
"Have you ever seen the first generation Hongmeng Treasure Tree?"
Xu Yihe nodded. "Of course. After I was born, I was nurtured under the second-generation Hongmeng Treasure Tree. It seems that no one in the Immortal Realm has ever seen the first-generation Treasure Tree. The first-generation Treasure Tree only exists in ancient books."
So that's how it was. Ji Mingqing was also eager to try and wanted to touch it. Xu Yihe saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "You can go to queue up now. Go quickly and come back quickly. If you go later, there will be more people and the queue will be longer."
Ji Mingqing nodded, picked up Bai Cangze, who was patrolling with his eyes closed, and ran towards the gate of Kunze Palace.
"I don't want to..."
"You have to think about it!" Ji Mingqing left no doubt, "Such a good opportunity, we should take advantage of it. Even though the book says it's just a legend, maybe it's true."
Bai Cangze thought silently in his heart, it can’t be true. If it is true, why has his wish never been fulfilled?
Bai Cangze didn't want to say that he had been touching the tree core every day for a while. Seeing Ji Mingqing so excited, he didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm.
“There are too many people!”
The line didn't look long from a distance, but when I got closer I realized there were several turns ahead, so it would probably take a quarter of an hour to queue.
Fortunately, he brought Xiaowan here, otherwise I would be bored to death here alone without a mobile phone to play with.
Unexpectedly, while waiting in line, the person standing behind Ji Mingqing would take the initiative to talk to him.
"Hello, immortal." Ji Mingqing turned around and saw a kind baby face.
Ji Mingqing also responded with a smile: "Hello."
After greeting him, Ji Mingqing found that this person did not say anything else. Instead, he stared at Xiaowan on Ji Mingqing's shoulder without saying a word.
"You are..." Ji Ming leaned to the side, slightly avoiding the man's gaze, and said with a hint of displeasure: "What are you doing?"
After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, the man came back to his senses and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, your fairy pet is really..." Ji Mingqing looked at him, waiting for his next sentence, but found that he was stuck again.
It's so suffocating to listen to him talk!
"pretty!"
Just when Ji Mingqing was about to run out of patience, this man burst out these words from his chest with full energy.
“So beautiful!”
Although this man's vocabulary was somewhat limited, his little Maru was indeed worthy of such a compliment. He waved his hand a little embarrassedly, "No, he's not very beautiful either."
"Have you ever seen a fairy pet more beautiful than this?" After hearing Ji Mingqing's answer, this person asked with shining eyes, "Can you show it to me?"
Ji Mingqing's eyes widened, "How is that possible! Xiaowan is the most beautiful!"
The man laughed and said, "So his name is Xiaowan. I wonder what level your fairy pet is."
Ji Mingqing shook his head. "I don't know either. His level is much higher than mine."
After hearing this, the man immediately extended his right hand and introduced himself to Ji Mingqing, "Hello, my name is Huang Dingzhi. What's your last name?"
Ji Mingqing also extended his hand and shook his, "My name is Ji Mingqing, I'm here to set up a stall."
"So it's Immortal Ji." Huang Dingzhi unfolded his folding fan with a "swish". "You and I are truly destined to meet today."
Ji Mingqing was confused and at the same time felt wary. How could this be fate? They were just waiting in line together.
Then Huang Ding said, "Since we are so destined to be together, can you let me touch your little balls?"
It can be said that the true nature of the plan is revealed. He actually dared to set his sights on Xiaowan!
Ji Mingqing immediately covered Xiaowan and took two steps back, staring at Huang Dingzhi's hands. "I'm sorry, my Xiaowan can't be touched by anyone."
Huang Dingzhi seemed to be used to being rejected. He sighed and said, "Never mind, I'm used to it too."
Ji Mingqing tilted his head, and even though he was wary of him, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What are you used to?"
"I'm used to wanting to touch other people's fairy pets, but I've always been rejected." Huang Dingzhi looked up at the sky with melancholy, "It's so difficult..."
Ji Mingqing felt a little soft-hearted. He took Xiaowan off his shoulders and held him in his arms. Then he turned his back and said loudly to Huang Dingzhi, "It's okay. If I don't let you see Xiaowan, you won't be bothered."
Bai Cangze originally thought that Ji Mingqing was a soft-hearted person and would rescue him and hand him over to Huang Dingzhi, but he didn't expect him to do this.
Bai Cangze couldn't help but laugh out loud in Ji Mingqing's arms.
After hearing Bai Cangze's voice, Ji Ming quickly lowered his head and whispered into Xiaowan's ear, "Don't laugh too loudly. What if he gets so excited that he insists on touching you? We've been waiting in line for ages."
Bai Cangze then stopped smiling. He looked at Huang Dingzhi, who had a conflicted expression on his face, and at the same time looked forward to what Ji Mingqing would do next.
"Wow, you really have no sympathy!" Huang Dingzhi walked over to him and looked at Xiaowan over his shoulder. "Can you touch me? Just once, I promise."
Ji Mingqing sternly refused, "No, no, I'll agree to all your other requests, but not this one."
"Any other requests?" Huang Ding was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. "Can I hug him? Or kiss him?"
Ji Mingqing quickly leaned over while holding Xiaowan in his arms. "Of course, that's not allowed either. What I mean is, apart from requests related to Xiaowan, I can help with anything I can. You can't let anyone touch my Xiaowan casually."
"But I don't have any other requests besides the little pill. You see, I have everything I need. I just want to touch the little fairy beast!"
Ji Mingqing pointed outside the group, "There must be some people selling fairy beasts outside. You can wait until you touch the core of the Hongmeng Tree and then go to the stall to buy one. The price will definitely be cheap."
"No, no." Huang Dingzhi shook his head vigorously, "My father won't let me."
Ji Mingqing: "..."
"You look quite old, why can't you raise a fairy beast at home?" Ji Mingqing said cautiously, stabbing Huang Dingzhi in the heart.
"My father hates all cute furry things. He says that immortal beasts should look like immortal beasts. Only prototypes like the Lord are worthy of being called immortal beasts." After saying this, Huang Dingzhi quickly stretched out his hand and waved, "I didn't mean to offend."
Ji Mingqing nodded. "I understand, I understand. It's normal for the elders in the family to be a little stubborn, but if you have the chance, you can move out. Wouldn't that give you a lot more freedom?"
"Alas..." Huang Dingzhi sighed, "It's not like I haven't moved out before, but whenever I did, my father would be very sad. I couldn't stand the look in his eyes, so I went back to be with him."
Ji Mingqing nodded in understanding again and said, "That's true. A father worries about his son even when he's thousands of miles away. For them, even if you live next door, it's a long journey."
Huang Dingzhi seemed to have found a kindred spirit. "That's right. I rarely get the chance to see fairy beasts like this, so..."
"So I recommend you go to the place where fairy beasts are sold and touch them as much as you want." Ji Mingqing defended Xiaowan's innocence like an iron wall. "Sorry, I won't let you touch my Xiaowan."
Huang Dingzhi saw that Ji Ming was unmoved, so he reluctantly turned his gaze away.
"It's such a shame I can't touch it. Your fairy beast is the most beautiful fairy beast I've seen today."
After hearing this, Jiming puffed up his chest with pride, "Of course, my little Maru is naturally the most beautiful."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Cangze was very satisfied. He jumped onto Ji Mingqing's shoulders and looked down at Huang Dingzhi.
Huang Dingzhi originally thought that after a sudden turn of events, Xiaowan would be moved by his words and allow him to touch her twice. Especially when he heard Xiaowan say this, it was like listening to heavenly music.
"You have good taste."
Hearing this, Huang Dingzhi's expectations suddenly increased, but Xiaowan's next sentence immediately made him very angry.
"I allow you to look at me a few more times."
Huang Dingzhi: "...You are so beautiful, but why do you say such cold words!"
While waiting in line, Huang Dingzhi kept staring at Xiaowan on Ji Mingqing's shoulder. Even if other fairy beasts passed by, he kept his eyes fixed on Xiaowan.
"You can't do this. How about this, after you touch the tree core, I will accompany you to the place where fairy beasts are sold." Ji Mingqing felt a little sorry when he saw Huang Dingzhi's expression.
He still remembered the consequences of the last time he let others touch Xiaowan. Xiaowan disappeared for several days. He couldn't live without Xiaowan now and would never take such a risk by letting others touch him.
"Well, this is fine. I don't have many friends on the island anyway. It would be a bit strange if I were to touch the fairy beast by myself." Huang Dingzhi reluctantly accepted the suggestion.
It wasn't long before it was their turn. Ji Mingqing walked forward first and, like the others he had observed, placed his hand on the tree core.
"Come in your own immortal energy." Bai Cangze reminded.
Ji Mingqing nodded, slowly condensed his spiritual energy in his right hand, and then transferred it into the core of the tree in front of him.
As a result, an incredible situation happened. The tree core, which had not responded before, suddenly emitted a bright green light.
Ji Mingqing was startled and wanted to take his hand away, but the instinctive desire in his heart made him continue to transfer his spiritual energy into the core of the tree.
Upon noticing the unusual situation, the staff of Kunze Palace immediately opened the protective shield at the entrance of Kunze Palace and surrounded Ji Mingqing inside the protective shield, making it impossible for outsiders to detect what had just happened at the entrance of Kunze Palace.
Bai Cangze frowned, looking at Ji Mingqing who was continuously injecting his immortal energy into the tree heart. He patted his cheek and reminded him, "You can stop now."
But Ji Mingqing did not react at all. Seeing that the light of the tree core was getting brighter and brighter, the immortal energy in Ji Mingqing's body was almost exhausted. Bai Cangze subconsciously transferred his immortal energy into Ji Mingqing's body to prevent him from being sucked dry by the tree core.
Ji Mingqing was unconscious and only felt that the tree core needed him and wanted his power. He couldn't stop at all. He voluntarily wanted to offer his power. Even if he was broken into pieces, he had no fear.
Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Cangze immediately changed into human form, grabbed Ji Mingqing's wrist, and tried to separate his hand from the tree core. However, he found that Ji Mingqing's hand was firmly sucked into the tree core, and even with his strength, he could not separate the two.
Bai Cangze had no other options for the time being, and could continue transferring his immortal power into Ji Mingqing's body. He even called over other people near Kunze Palace and ordered, "Inject immortal power into him, and don't stop. Don't let him get hurt in the slightest."
The others were also shocked by this sudden change. Just when they were at a loss and wanted to report it, they saw that the cat on the shoulder of the person who had the change had turned into the appearance of the Lord.
This is the genuine Lord, and they will never mistake the Lord's taste.
After Bai Cangze entrusted Ji Mingqing to his subordinates, he raised his hand and stroked Ji Mingqing's face, "Wait for me to come back." Then he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bai Cangze's subordinates felt that this situation was a bit strange, but they did not dare to say much about their master's private affairs. They could only listen to their master's words and continuously transfer their immortal energy into Ji Mingqing's body. Even when their immortal power was about to be exhausted, they kept swallowing pills to replenish it.
The disappeared Bai Cangze did not go anywhere else, but returned to his bedroom. He walked to the center of the bedroom and drew a few patterns in the sky with his fingers. Then a white light appeared in front of Bai Cangze. Bai Cangze touched the white light with his hand, and the light turned into a door. Bai Cangze stepped in.
The fairy air behind the door is so thick that it makes people unable to open their eyes. At a glance, it is all green grass. What is strange is that apart from the grass, there is only a dead branch standing in the middle of the grass.
Bai Cangze hesitated for a moment in front of the dead branch, and then without saying a word, he pulled up the dead branch by the roots. At the moment the dead branch was pulled up, all the immortal energy in the space gathered towards the dead branch, even causing waves.
The green fairy grass planted in the ground began to wither at the blink of an eye the moment the dead branches left the soil. The space that was just full of vitality turned into a place of decay in the blink of an eye.
Bai Cangze looked around, took a deep breath, and then walked out of this space without hesitation. The next second, he appeared in front of Ji Mingqing.
The moment he walked to Ji Mingqing's side, he found that something seemed to have changed in Ji Mingqing's body, but he had no intention to explore it now. Even if many people passed their spiritual energy to Ji Mingqing to prevent him from being sucked dry, it was equivalent to turning Ji Mingqing into a container, which would have a huge impact on his body over time.
Looking at his subordinates who were constantly swallowing the elixir behind Ji Mingqing, Bai Cangze did not hesitate to drive the dead branch in his hand into the core of the tree.
This branch is of the same origin as the Hongmeng Treasure Tree and is the only remaining branch from a previous generation of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree. Bai Cangze has kept this branch in a separate space he has opened up for many years, thinking that it might sprout again in the future. If there are two Hongmeng Treasure Trees in the fairy world, it will be of great benefit to the fairy world.
But after today, the only thing left in the entire fairyland is the Hongmeng treasure tree.
Sure enough, after the broken branch was hammered into the core of the tree, the core immediately became quiet, and Ji Mingqing's hand was able to leave the core of the tree.
The moment Ji Mingqing's hand dropped, his whole body became limp. Ji Mingqing, who lost consciousness, fell to the ground at this moment.
However, before Bai Cangze's men standing behind him could catch the person in front of them, Bai Cangze had already taken the lead and hugged the person in his arms.
"Don't spread what happened today."
After leaving these words, Bai Cangze disappeared in front of everyone the next second.
The subordinates looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."
Is it that we cannot tell anyone about Shu Shuxin, or is it that we cannot tell anyone about the princess carrying a strange immortal?
Forget it, there is no time to think about it now. The protective shield was not opened to avoid other people. Maybe there is a mess outside now, and they have to clean up the mess.
Bai Cangze carried Ji Mingqing to the bedroom. He wanted to put Ji Mingqing on his bed, but the next moment, he hesitated again.
I have to heal him anyway, so would it be more effective if I just hold him in my arms?
Just when Bai Cangze was wavering, he lowered his head and saw Ji Mingqing's weak and pale face, and he suddenly felt sorry for him.
Just take care of it in the normal way.
After Bai Cangze put the person on his bed, he unconsciously felt a little excited.
Even though the two of them had slept in the same bed many times, the person he loved was lying on his bed, and he was now standing in front of Ji Mingqing in human form. This feeling of satisfaction was unparalleled.
Bai Cangze bent down and gently touched Ji Mingqing's face. In the past, Ji Mingqing always touched his face in his cub form, so it shouldn't be excessive for him to touch him now.
It’s because Ji Mingqing doesn’t have a cub form.
After gently stroking twice, Bai Cangze withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
What is he doing? Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune? This behavior is truly despicable!
When Bai Cangze thought of this, he immediately stood up and walked around the center of the bedroom in a panic.
After walking a few laps, Bai Cangze calmed down. Seeing that Ji Mingqing's complexion had improved a little, he took out the elixir he had refined, placed it to Ji Mingqing's lips, and coaxed him softly.
"Take this pill and be obedient. It will do you good."
Bai Cangze didn't know whether Ji Mingqing, who was in a coma, could hear him. After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid. Realizing this, Bai Cangze chuckled, raised his left hand, and prepared to pinch Ji Mingqing's chin open.
What he didn't expect was that when he finished speaking, Ji Mingqing really opened his mouth obediently. Bai Cangze subconsciously loosened his hand, and the elixir fell into Ji Mingqing's mouth.
"Can you hear me?" Bai Cangze was inexplicably excited and couldn't control himself, so his hand accidentally touched Ji Mingqing's lips.
Bai Cangze was stunned. The moment his lips touched Ji Mingqing's, he couldn't help but tremble.
So soft and spongy.
Bai Cangze didn't know how to describe his current mood. Even though he knew that his behavior was inappropriate, he couldn't help but rub Ji Mingqing's lips twice.
"Can you hear me?" It was the same question, but the tone just now was filled with joy, but now it was filled with guilt.
Seeing that Ji Mingqing had no reaction, Bai Cangze breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this guilty act would not be discovered by others.
Guessing that Ji Mingqing would not wake up for a while, Bai Cangze stood up and walked out the door to contact Cui Ding.
He told Cui Ding roughly what had just happened, and asked Cui Ding and Xu Yihe to help restore order outside to ensure that the selection of new people would not be delayed. At the same time, he asked their people to take care of Ji Mingqing's stall and not to make any mistakes.
Today he contacted the subordinate who was in charge of the Kunze Palace treasury and asked him to send some supplements suitable for the wood-type immortals to restore their vitality.
Ji Mingqing was in this state just now, and it would probably take him a long time to recover and return to normal.
Just looking at him like this, it seems that he is going to miss this year's rookie selection.
However, when he took Ji Mingqing's pulse and found that Ji Mingqing was just too weak, Bai Cangze felt relieved and began to think about why there was something strange about the tree core.
The Hongmeng Treasure Tree has always upheld the spirit of dedication. Ancient books record that the reason for the decline of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree was that after the war between immortals and demons ended, the immortal world lacked spiritual energy, so the Hongmeng Treasure Tree sacrificed itself and gave all its spiritual energy back to the immortal world. This made the immortal world's recovery speed more than twice that of the demon world, and gradually widened the gap between the immortals and demons.
The current invincibility of the fairy world is closely related to the sacrifice of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree.
Therefore, Bai Cangze did not think that the Hongmeng Treasure Tree was not coveting the immortal energy in Ji Mingqing's body, but perhaps for some other reason.
He then thought of the many differences in Ji Mingqing.
The natural obedience of the immortal plant, the intoxicating scent it exudes from time to time, and the closeness of the Heroic Soul Star.
Bai Cangze was unable to connect these three special things together. These things were unrelated, but they all focused on Ji Mingqing, an ordinary immortal.
Or maybe it is related to Ji Mingqing's previous ten lives?
Bai Cangze really couldn't understand it. This incident completely overturned his cognition.
So he could only call Xiang Wenshu.
"Go and gather all the information about the Hongmeng Treasure Tree and give it to me, including past and present lives, as well as the ancient books and jade slips in the immortal world about immortal plants. Find them all for me."
Xiang Wenshu was stunned: "These are quite a lot of books, my lord, if you want to find something, you can just tell me directly, and then let others look for it together, wouldn't it save time?"
Bai Cangze raised his eyes and looked into Xiang Wenshu's eyes, which made Xiang Wenshu feel uneasy.
"My lord, I will go find him right away!" After Xiang Wenshu said this, he bowed deeply to Bai Cangze, and then ran out of the door quickly.
He vaguely felt that he had said the wrong thing just now. If he didn't run now, he might have to double his training again!
Looking at Xiang Wenshu's back, Bai Cangze felt melancholy.
"I have no idea."
“How can I find the answer if I don’t even know what the question is?”
