Chapter 16: Natural Resources and Treasures.
Chapter 16
Bu Xingjin held the small tree in his hands and respectfully presented it to the master of Fuhua Peak. He prayed in his heart, "Master, you are so powerful, so awesome, and you can easily heal the small tree."
"Huh?"
As Bu Xingjin raised his question, his vision blurred. The figure who had been sitting above the hall suddenly appeared before him. At the same time, the small tree in his hand had also been transferred to that person's palm.
Bu Xingjin watched the every move of the master of Fuhua Peak with trepidation, just like a family member anxiously waiting for the doctor's return outside the operating room.
The master of Fuhua Peak stared at the small tree for a long time, his expression gradually becoming solemn, and then relaxed.
"The tree's roots had suffered severe damage, and although it had recovered somewhat, it soon suffered a more severe blow, causing the previously recovered lift to dissipate, leaving it scarred and weakened."
“But it can be recovered.”
The master of Fuhua Peak gave the results of his observations.
"That……"
Bu Xingjin was about to ask Xiaoshu how to help it recover, but was interrupted by Zhao Siwen before he could say a word.
"The little tree forcibly withstood the full force of a Jindan stage cultivator to save us, which is why it is in this state now. Master, is there any way to help it recover?"
Zhao Siwen spoke anxiously before Xing Jin.
"Golden Core Stage? Did you encounter the owner of the Yin Stone Mine?"
The leader of Fuhua Peak returned the small tree to Bu Xingjin. He looked at Zhao Siwen and asked him to explain his experience.
"No, it's a stranger..."
Zhao Siwen recounted his experience from beginning to end, briefly describing other unimportant details and focusing on the key points, describing his encounter with the middle-aged man in green robe.
Bu Xingjin could only wait quietly by the side, waiting for Zhao Siwen to finish speaking.
"I've never heard of such a person."
The head of Fuhua Peak pondered for a moment, convinced that he had never heard of such a Jindan cultivator who was irreconcilable with the Amaterasu Sect. Although a Jindan cultivator was a powerful leader in some small sects, for the Amaterasu Sect, Jindan cultivators were still insignificant.
"I also have something to say about this person."
Bu Xingjin couldn't help but think of the person who gave him the earth essence, and he continued to speak.
"Before I transformed, I met a man who said his name was Lu Xunwen..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Siwen interrupted him hurriedly. His senior brother had been out for a long time and he hadn't heard from him. Now he actually had news from him, so he hurriedly asked anxiously.
"You met your senior brother. Where is he? Why hasn't he come back for so long? Was there something that delayed him?"
“…”
After hearing Zhao Siwen's question, Bu Xingjin fell silent. What he brought was not good news.
The master of Fuhua Peak suddenly noticed something was wrong. His face instantly darkened, and his voice became low and hoarse. He asked doubtfully, "Xunwen, what happened?"
"He died. Before he died, he asked me to bring the news of his death back to Fuhua Peak."
Bu Xingjin finished his words in one breath.
"What did you say? Say it again, what happened to my senior brother..."
After hearing what Bu Xingjin said clearly, Zhao Siwen couldn't accept it and rushed over to grab Bu Xingjin's collar and asked him to say it again.
Bu Xingjin remained silent.
"Siwen."
The leader of Fuhua Peak stopped Zhao Siwen's rude actions.
"How did Xunwen die?"
The leader of Fuhua Peak looked at Bu Xingjin, and the aura around him continued to rise. When Bu Xingjin was about to be unable to bear it, he seemed to realize it and suddenly restrained it all.
"The murderer was also the middle-aged man in the green robe. He wanted to steal something from Lu Xunwen, but when he failed, he killed him."
As for what exactly it was, he had no idea, and judging by what happened when he met the middle-aged man in green robe later, he didn't get it either.
"That's outrageous. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
The leader of Fuhua Peak narrowed his eyes and said that since you dared to kill his disciple, you will never escape his revenge even if you go to heaven or hell.
"How is that possible?"
Zhao Siwen kept repeating this sentence, unable to accept this cruel reality.
The head of Fuhua Peak ignored him and returned his gaze to Bu Xingjin. He waved his hand and injected a rich spiritual energy into the tree. "I've temporarily stabilized its injuries. You don't need to carry it with you anymore. Now let it grow in the soil. Use more spiritual essence, and it will slowly recover."
Slow, how slow?
Bu Xingjin didn't realize that he had unconsciously expressed his doubts.
"It could take thousands of years." However, he hadn't mentioned that, when he had checked on the tree, he had discovered it had been ravaged by a lightning tribulation. Its survival after failing to survive the tribulation was truly remarkable. It had then forcibly withstood a blow from a Jindan-stage expert. Fortunately, it possessed the spirituality of a plant, and with a glimmer of life, it could slowly recover within the soil, lingering for a while.
"Thousands of years? Is there any way to speed up his recovery?"
Who knows what it will be like in a thousand years? It’s too long.
"If you want it to recover quickly, you need natural treasures to strengthen its body. These things are very rare and require luck to obtain."
"I understand. Thank you, Master."
Isn't it a natural treasure? No matter how rare it is, he will go find it. Bu Xingjin secretly made up his mind that his first task was to restore the little tree to its original state.
"No need. You brought back news of Xunwen, and I should be grateful to you. Besides, I can promise you one thing."
The master of Fuhua Peak was waiting for Bu Xingjin to make his request. As the master of a peak, there were so many things he could do. If someone else had received this promise, they would probably have been ecstatic.
"You helped me stabilize Xiaoshu's injuries, which is a great favor to me. Moreover, Lu Xunwen has already paid me in advance. He once gave me a piece of earth essence as a reward for delivering his message to Fuhua Peak."
Bu Xingjin rejected the proposal of the master of Fuhua Peak without thinking. Even though he didn't understand this world, he knew how precious the promise of the master of a peak was, but he couldn't accept it.
"What I have said will not change. You can ask me to do something. This suggestion will remain valid. You can ask me again in the future if you need it."
"I will send someone to take you to rest. You can stay here at Fuhua Peak forever."
Bu Xingjin wanted to refuse again, but the leader of Fuhua Peak forcefully suppressed his words and simply waved his hand, and a maid in green walked in from outside the hall.
"Yuhuai, take him to the guest room to rest."
"yes."
The maid in green bowed respectfully and walked over to Bu Xingjin with a smile. He looked at Zhao Siwen, who was still in a daze. Bu Xingjin guessed that the master and disciple might have something to say that he was not comfortable sharing. So he could only follow her steps silently, leaving the space that belonged to them to them.
…
Following the maid in green out of the hall, Bu Xingjin realized that it was getting late and the bright moon was hanging in the night sky.
The bright moonlight gently caresses Fuhua Peak, covering it with a thin layer of silver gauze, making the rugged rocky peaks in the night appear friendly and kind.
The problem with the little tree was half solved, and Bu Xingjin's heart finally settled down. He admired the Fuhua Peak under the night sky and walked slowly.
After a while, the maid in green brought him to an independent small courtyard.
This is the place where the master of Fuhua Peak specially receives guests. In the past, those who stayed here were all at least at the Jindan stage. Bu Xingjin is the first guest to stay here with the cultivation level of the Qi training stage.
The maid in green opened the gate of the courtyard, and the environment inside was clear at a glance.
Bu Xingjin had no requirements for these. He just took a quick glance and stepped into the yard.
"This is your residence. There is a bell in the yard. If you need anything, just ring it gently and I will come over."
"There's a spirit gathering formation carved into the room, you can practice in it. The Peak Master has instructed that you can stay here as long as you like."
"You have a good rest. I will leave now."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"You don't have to be so polite."
The maid in blue bowed and left.
Bu Xingjin came into the room. There was a wooden bed on the left and a futon on the right. There was a formation engraved under the futon.
Bu Xingjin looked around and chose to lie on the bed.
This was the first time since he turned into a human that he lived in a proper house and slept on a real bed instead of sleeping on the floor.
After properly placing the small tree next to him, Bu Xingjin finally had the mood to open the system panel.
The cultivation progress bar was already full, so he clicked to upgrade.
19→20.
As usual, many golden spots suddenly appeared around him.
Regardless of whether Xiaoshu could hear or not, he quickly said to Xiaoshu: "You have absorbed the golden light spots before. This one may be good for you. You can absorb more and take it all."
I don’t know if Xiaoshu heard what he said. Bu Xingjin only saw that part of the golden light entered his body and part entered Xiaoshu’s body.
It’s a pity that this is beyond his control, otherwise he would directly send all the golden light spots into the small tree.
Forget it, I don’t know if it will be of any use to the little tree. I should upgrade myself and improve my cultivation ability to find rare treasures to help the little tree recover.
Bu Xingjin looked at the upgrade rewards displayed on the panel. Reward one increased the experience gain rate by twenty times, reward two gave one portion of high-level spiritual soil, and reward three gave one random reward.
The first one looks pretty good and can also increase the leveling speed. The second one requires him to transform back to his original form to take effect. After finally transforming into a human form, he definitely won't automatically transform into his original form before the human form experience card expires. I don't know what rewards the third one will give, it may be good or bad.
There are still two days left before the quarterly time acceleration card cools down, and these two days cannot be wasted. Without much hesitation, Bu Xingjin chose reward one.
It takes 21,000 cultivation points to upgrade to level 21. He has been basking in the sun for the past two days, and with the bonus of his experience gain speed increasing twenty times, it is almost enough for him to reach the next level.
