Ruan Xi couldn't explain clearly what kind of situation he was in. He just felt extremely comfortable. He felt like a fetus immersed in amniotic fluid, or in the midst of chaos between heaven and earth. Every pore in his body was slowly open, absorbing the purest and richest energy from all over his body. This energy entered his body through the pores, and then, along the direction of the meridians, it was integrated into every inch of his bones and blood, reshaping his body bit by bit.
Body reshaping?
This is too incredible!
However, even with such doubts in his mind, Ruan Xi was completely unable to do anything. Even the time he could concentrate was extremely short. During this process, he was always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time, but he could never fall asleep. He maintained a trace of consciousness, which was only enough for him to remember where he was.
This situation was really weird, but since it was brought to him by the tree, out of trust in the tree, he couldn't feel even the slightest bit of vigilance in his heart, and simply relaxed completely.
Anyway, the big tree will never hurt him.
It was rare for Ruan Xi to indulge himself like this, letting himself float and sink, until he finally felt his feet stepping on solid ground. Then he suddenly woke up and opened his eyes instantly.
At first glance, he seemed surrounded by pure darkness. However, once he adjusted to the darkness, he began to see tiny dots of shimmering green light flickering in the darkness like fireflies. These green dots weren't static, but constantly moving. Ruan Xi subconsciously reached out to grab them, but found that some of them would sink into his palm, while others would penetrate his palm and continue to move around him. The same was true for the green dots in other parts of his body, as if they were undergoing a screening process. The dots that suited him were absorbed by him, while those that didn't were allowed to continue to move.
"Dashu, are you there?" Ruan Xi called out to Dashu softly in his mind, but there was no response. He had no choice but to call out every once in a while. He didn't know how long it had been before Dashu's voice finally rang out in his mind.
"Xiaoxi, do you feel it? Abundant energy, comfortable energy... This is the energy I should have, this is the gift from my father..." Dashu's sigh was accompanied by the trembling of his soul. He was still sad for his father's passing, but he had more joy, for the future, for his own growth, and for Ruan Xi.
The joy of the tree was so strong and so direct that Ruan Xi, wrapped in the cocoon of life, had no power to resist and could only passively feel the joy of the tree and the energy impact brought by this emotion.
"Hmm..." Ruan Xi was impacted again and again by the powerful energy fluctuations of the Tree of Life. The originally gentle and comfortable energy infiltration process was forced to accelerate infinitely. His tendons and veins seemed to be stretched to the extreme in an instant, and then contracted to the extreme in an instant. This forced expansion made Ruan Xi curl up his body in pain, but he couldn't even scream, as if he had been deprived of the ability to breathe.
The innate inheritance of the Tree of Life made Dashu naturally familiar with and adaptable to such energy fluctuations. During this upgrade process, he was attracted by the energy left for him by his father. With a slight misjudgment, Dashu felt that Ruan Xi had the strength to withstand such energy fluctuations and could upgrade with him, so he naturally pulled Ruan Xi along. However, he forgot that Ruan Xi was a human being, and his strength also included talent, and talent often does not reach its peak from the beginning.
So, Ruan Xi naturally met with tragedy, and it happened right under the nose of his good friend Dashu.
Fortunately, the big tree, intoxicated by the energy baptism, finally noticed Ruan Xi's abnormality and stopped the energy shock on Ruan Xi in time, narrowly saving the dying Ruan Xi.
"Xiao Xi..." Da Shu's crying voice trembled in Ruan Xi's mind, like a child who had done something wrong with good intentions and was at a loss. As long as Ruan Xi scolded him, Da Shu would burst into tears immediately.
Ruan Xi's mind almost instantly had a picture in it, and he laughed uncontrollably. Although he felt a little weak, at least he was in a good mood.
It cannot be said that Dashu's magical operation was of no benefit to Ruan Xi. On the contrary, the benefits were too numerous to count. He felt that his meridians had been expanded exponentially, and the originally thin wood energy in his body increased by more than a hundred times. Moreover, it was not as weak as before, and could be described as powerful. However, contrary to this, his ability level still remained at level one. Judging from his experience in his previous life, his current wood ability level should at least be upgraded to level three.
Did something go wrong? Or was it the aftereffects of the energy shock from the tree suddenly interrupting him? If that was the case, then he was truly wronged!
Or, let the tree deliver another wave of energy shock?
Ruan Xi was thinking this in his mind, but his body shuddered inexplicably. After all, the pain he just experienced was too unforgettable, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Xiao Xi, I was wrong... I'm sorry... I promised not to hurt you..." Da Shu's aggrieved and sad voice rang in Ruan Xi's mind. The obvious crying sound was impossible to ignore, and it brought Ruan Xi back to his senses in an instant. His first reaction was to laugh out loud.
"I don't blame you. Although it's a little uncomfortable, there are many benefits. Can you feel the energy in my body? You helped me level up together. Super cool!" Ruan Xi had recovered a little by now. He wanted to sit up, but his body was still weak. He said helplessly, "Dashu, please help me sit up. My hands and feet are weak."
"Oh..." The big tree paused in its sobbing, and then several branches gently supported Ruan Xi's back, allowing him to sit up without any effort. After he sat firmly, the branches quickly turned into a chair, allowing him to sit comfortably. This cautious attitude made Ruan Xi laugh again.
Ruan Xi raised his hand and patted the branches beside him, comforting him, "That's enough. You always have to pay a price to get something good. It's just a little pain. It couldn't be more cost-effective!"
"Are...are you really okay? Are you still in pain?" Dashu was still very nervous. Ruan Xi had no choice but to continue comforting him. However, Dashu was obviously scared and kept pestering about this topic, which made Ruan Xi laugh and cry.
There was no choice but to abruptly change the subject.
"Oh, Dashu, I feel like the energy in my body is enough for me to reach level three, but why am I still stuck at level one? Is there something wrong?"
"That's because the plant encyclopedia in your sea of consciousness hasn't been upgraded yet. You and the encyclopedia are mutually reinforcing and you can't fly alone." Dashu's answer was crisp and clear, and he slapped Ruan Xi in the face.
Well, gently.
He almost forgot about the illustrated guide.
