Ruan Xi was full and didn't follow the old routine at all. He didn't want to lie down and sleep, but wanted to continue working.
"Big tree, can you help me bring some water back? I need to water the plants!" Of course, everything is not OK once the plants are planted. Watering, fertilizing, pest control and weeding are all very important and cannot be neglected at all.
It's okay for other plants, but he doesn't want to make any mistakes with the medicinal herbs, so he must take good care of them.
"Okay, right away!" The big tree responded happily, and then the roots and branches immediately started to move, rushing towards the stream in the west. Ruan Xi looked very upset, fearing that this wave would directly empty the stream.
However, after seeing the result of the big tree transporting water, he silently put aside his previous worries.
"Pop! Pop! Plop!" One after another, large leaves filled with water exploded in the air, like artificial rain. However, the effect was at least 50% off, and that was just a face-saving statement.
"The efficiency of transporting water in this way is too low." He Ziqian looked at the scene and remained silent. After a long time, he made this comment.
Ruan Xi gave him a cold look and didn't want to answer, but the eye contact was enough to make He Ziqian immediately take the initiative to find work to do.
"There's a bamboo forest near the stream that can be cut down to serve as a pipe. My mecha can be disassembled and some parts can be used to build a simple water channel. If we dig a reservoir here, we can ensure that we always have water."
Hearing this, Ruan Xi felt that He Ziqian's image immediately became much more majestic, and he couldn't help but applaud, "Great, you take care of the pipeline and I'll dig the hole!" Ruan Xi keenly heard that the construction of the pipeline part was related to "machinery", so he decisively chose to avoid it. He would rather do some rough work than do that kind of technical work, which was too embarrassing.
He Ziqian: "...Okay." This kid is really sincere in avoiding machines.
The two of them worked through the night and managed to complete this simple water diversion project before dawn. Of course, He Ziqian also took the initiative to help with the digging part.
After watering the plants, Ruan Xi asked the tree to take him to the stream for an open-air bath. Then he ignored everything and fell into a deep sleep on the big bed woven from the branches of the big tree.
He Ziqian: "..." Looking at Ruan Xi who was fighting, He Ziqian felt angry and amused. He smiled and shook his head, then walked towards where his mecha was.
As for himself, with his strong physique and years of high-intensity training, not sleeping for one night has no effect on him at all. He still prefers to continue repairing his mecha in order to leave this planet as soon as possible and continue his mission.
Ruan Xi, in his sleep, vaguely felt that the supernatural power in his body was stirring. The energy fluctuations made his mind slightly excited uncontrollably. Even though his brain was not yet awake, he could still feel this energy that lifted him up, making him feel a comfort that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, just like...
The feeling of absorbing energy from the crystal core to cultivate superpowers in the previous life!
"Big tree!" Ruan Xi opened his eyes suddenly and called out to the big tree immediately, but the tree did not respond. He quickly turned over and checked the condition of the big tree. Then he found that the big tree seemed to be drunk. Except for the trunk and thick branches that served as support, the other thinner branches were all limp and hanging. Something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.
Ruan Xi was startled and stood up to climb up. However, as soon as he moved, he tripped and fell flat on his face. He was lying in a spread-eagle position on the bed of branches and leaves. If the leaves had not been thick enough, his face would have been flattened.
"What the hell?" Ruan Xi reacted and looked at his feet first. He saw that there were branches tied to both ankles. He pushed and pulled for a long time but they didn't loosen at all. He was exhausted and sweating all over.
"Big tree, why are you tying me up?" Ruan Xi had no choice but to continue calling the big tree, but the big tree did not respond. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not free the branches that tied him. He could only give up for the time being and lie on the branch bed, gradually calming down.
As soon as he calmed down, he immediately felt the abnormal energy flow in his body, which was subtle but not to be ignored. Moreover, the intensity of the energy flow was increasing little by little, making his perception clearer and clearer.
Ruan Xi had lived in the apocalypse for many years in his previous life, so he was very familiar with this kind of energy flow. However, in his previous life, he absorbed the energy in the crystal core to cultivate his supernatural powers, and the result was clearly perceptible. The feeling now was so weak that it could only be described as gentle, and there was no negative effect of absorbing the crystal core energy in his previous life - energy explosion. This kind of energy flow, when passing through his tendons, veins and blood, the energy would quietly merge into every part of his body, without a single bit being wasted, which was simply magical.
Ruan Xi carefully felt the energy fluctuations in his body, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He said, "Da Shu, are you absorbing the energy of the mutant vine to verify it?"
This time, whether it was because Dashu was free or because he asked the right question, Dashu finally responded to Ruan Xi. However, the voice in his mind sounded a little vague, as if it was very far away.
"Well, I thought, Xiaoxi, you can't directly absorb the energy in the energy core, but I can. I will try to introduce the energy I absorbed into your body. Xiaoxi, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" At this point, Dashu became a little nervous. If he were a human, he would definitely be holding his breath waiting for Ruan Xi's response.
"Not at all! It's so comfortable! It turns out that I can practice in this way. You are so kind, Dashu. I have never thought of this method before!" To be honest, Ruan Xi's pursuit of practicing supernatural powers is far less intense than his pursuit of growing herbs. He is also more inclined to use the method of unlocking plants in the atlas to upgrade the atlas, and then use the upgrade of the atlas to affect the upgrade of his supernatural powers... Well, although the method is a bit upside down, it is simple and convenient. He doesn't need to hold a "purpose" to seek solutions. It's so tiring to use his brain. He is not treating a disease, so he is too lazy to make such an effort!
Now, just by following the big tree, he can absorb energy and upgrade his superpowers. This lazy upgrade method is perfect for him.
but……
"Big Tree, will this have any adverse effects on you?" This was his only concern. As long as he was sure that it would not harm the big tree, he would definitely do it.
Instead of spending a lot of time trying to find ways to cultivate supernatural powers, he might as well plant more herbs and treat more patients. Isn't this more in line with his image as a Chinese medicine practitioner?
Ruan Xi waited for Dashu's answer a little nervously, but the way he was lying on the bed with his whole body prostrated on the ground looked a bit funny. He didn't know what triggered Dashu's playful mood, but Dashu didn't rush to answer. Instead, he retracted the branches tied to Ruan Xi's ankles and lifted him up upside down. Not too high, just enough for Ruan Xi's head to touch the bed of branches and leaves.
Ruan Xi: “…” Instead of holding it up like this, it would be better to just fly into the air!
"Big tree, can you please stop playing?" Ruan Xi was also helpless and said it like coaxing a child. However, he felt relieved in his heart. Looking at the reaction of the big tree, this method of transmitting energy is 99% harmless to the big tree, and may even be beneficial to the big tree. It's a win-win situation!
"Hehe, this is the first time someone plays with me..." The big tree said embarrassedly, and quickly put Ruan Xi down. He coughed lightly, and then replied: "Don't worry, this method is not only harmless to me, but also beneficial. The speed at which my body absorbs energy cannot catch up with the speed at which it absorbs energy from the energy core, and this speed cannot be controlled. When it accumulates to a certain amount, my consciousness will fall into dormancy and will not wake up again until the energy is completely absorbed. But it is different when it is transmitted to you. You actually absorb energy faster than me, and you can absorb it more thoroughly, without any energy overflow. It really amazes the tree!" Before meeting Ruan Xi, the Tree of Life felt that he was invincible except for that annoying mutant vine. Now he knows that there are people outside the tree, and human potential is unlimited.
"The energy core of a mutant vine, the energy contained within it is so enormous?" This is a bit unscientific, isn't it? Even if it comes from a higher plane, is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? If a higher plane wants to invade a lower plane, won't the lower plane just be beaten?
Just thinking about this kind of thing gives me a chill down my spine.
"I haven't yet explored the bottom of the energy content in this energy core. I can only say... it's a lot." Anyway, it's more than Dashu can describe in words. It's probably enough for him to absorb for decades.
Ruan Xi was in complete shock, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Looking at the Tree of Life in front of him, it was more like looking at a child who had not grown up.
"Big tree, among the population of the Tree of Life, you may really be a very small child." After all, he did not feel the domineering aura of the Tree of Life that he had imagined. Instead, he felt like a parent taking care of a child, which made him speechless.
However, the tree is his friend, so everything is acceptable.
"Maybe, I don't know. I haven't seen any other trees of life." God knows where this tree came from. Anyway, as long as the big tree can remember, it has been a solitary tree.
I used to feel lonely, but now looking at Ruan Xi, I don’t feel lonely at all.
"Don't worry about it, just continue to absorb energy happily!" The big tree was obviously an optimist and didn't want to think deeply about this problem. It wrapped Ruan Xi's waist with its branches and leaves, brought him to its canopy, and hid him with its branches and leaves, "You continue to sleep." Then, the big tree began to lose contact again, and no matter how Ruan Xi called out, there was no response.
Ruan Xi: “…”
Okay, there was nothing wrong with Lotte at all, but he was having trouble sleeping.
According to this situation, his cultivation depends on the transit of the big tree. If he goes away to study in the future, won’t he be unable to cultivate?
Well, this is a really difficult question.
