Chapter 29: The little tree transforms.
Chapter 29
Bu Xingjin listened to the words of the master of Fuhua Peak and stayed in Amaterasu Sect, not even leaving the courtyard of Fuhua Peak.
Although he did not step out of the courtyard, no one came to visit him as he expected.
The Amaterasu sect was vast. He knew that besides Floating Flower Peak, disciples from Fire Refining Peak and Star-Picking Peak had also entered the secret realm. He had originally thought that the disciples from these two peaks would come to him. Even if they didn't dare to seize the tree by force out of respect for the Floating Flower Peak master, they could use other means to force him to surrender the tree. However, things didn't go as he expected. Everything remained calm, and nothing changed.
For the past few days, besides practicing meditation, he had been concentrating on observing the small tree. He could sense a mysterious power surging within the tree, as if it were about to absorb the essence of the holy medicine and awaken at any moment.
During this time, his cultivation progress bar naturally filled up without using the Seasonal Time Accelerator Card, allowing him to successfully reach Level 27. As a system upgrade reward, he received twenty drops of Spirit Essence. Since Xiaoshu already possessed the Holy Medicine Essence, he did not give it to Xiaoshu, choosing instead to use the precious Spirit Essence for his own cultivation.
With the help of spiritual marrow, his cultivation results were remarkable, and he is now a cultivator at the sixth level of foundation building.
That day, Bu Xingjin was practicing under the small tree as usual. The little turtle remained perched on its branches. However, Bu Xingjin noticed that since the tree had grown, the little turtle seemed to particularly enjoy staying on its body. Curious, he inquired about the little turtle's reason, but received a rather amusing answer. Speechless, Bu Xingjin yielded to the little turtle's wishes. After all, the tree hadn't objected.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Bu Xingjin, are you in there?"
There was a knock on the door and Zhao Siwen's loud shouting.
Bu Xingjin finished his practice after completing one cycle and opened his eyes.
Looking up at the sky, it was already afternoon. I couldn't help but wonder why Zhao Siwen came here to invite me at this time.
He slowly stood up, walked to the door and opened it gently.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Siwen jumped in eagerly. His face was filled with joy, and he excitedly said to Bu Xingjin, "Senior Sister is finally willing to show up. Are you willing to go see her?"
Senior sister?
After a moment of contemplation, Bu Xing suddenly realized that the senior sister Zhao Siwen was referring to was the fairy who had given him a drop of spiritual essence.
Of course, I have to meet her. Bu Xingjin nodded and said, "I wonder if she is free now?"
"Yes, I came here to take you to see her..."
Zhao Siwen stared at Bu Xingjin with eyes wide open in disbelief. His tone was filled with shock: "You've actually reached the sixth level of foundation building!"
It had only been a short time since he had successfully established his foundation, yet his current cultivation level was already higher than his.
After leaving the Yanshui Secret Realm, he broke through from the third to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment in just a few days, which made him think he was a genius. However, unexpectedly, Bu Xingjin had already broken through to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment.
"Yes, I just broke through." Bu Xingjin nodded, then looked Zhao Siwen up and down, "You also broke through, congratulations!"
Bu Xingjin's congratulations were without a hint of boasting; he expressed his joy with a serious expression. Zhao Siwen, on the other hand, felt a sharp pang in his heart once again. He silently resolved to practice even harder to achieve his goal.
"I'm not as good as you. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me take you to see my senior sister first." Zhao Siwen stepped forward, took Bu Xingjin's arm, turned around and was about to leave.
Bu Xingjin stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."
Although no one came to his door, he didn't know if anyone would tell him that he would not harm the little tree after he left, so he had to find some protection for the little tree.
Bu Xingjin turned around and came to the little tree and the little turtle. He woke the sleeping little turtle and said to it seriously, "Senior, I'm going to be out for a while. Please take care of the little tree and don't let anyone hurt him."
"Go ahead, I'm here." The little turtle, who hadn't gotten enough sleep, impatiently drove people away without even opening his eyes.
Hearing the little turtle's words, Bu Xingjin smiled slightly and said to the little tree, "You should be waking up soon. I hope to see you wake up when I come back."
After giving the instructions, Bu Xingjin followed Zhao Siwen and left.
After he left the courtyard, not far from the courtyard, a person who often appeared nearby in the past few days summoned a bird, attached a message and then released it.
The bird flew over the mountain unhindered and landed in the hands of a young man in a golden robe who looked like a moving golden mountain.
Zhao Siwen and Bu Xingjin happened to pass by, and no one noticed anything wrong.
Bu Xingjin hadn't left his house and hadn't noticed someone was watching his courtyard. He'd assumed everyone in the Amaterasu sect was as righteous as the head of Fuhua Peak, and surprisingly, no one had come to him to demand the tree.
Bu Xingjin, who was following behind Zhao Siwen, silently memorized the route map as he walked, and roughly pieced it together in his mind with other places he had been to.
Soon, the two of them came to a palace that was about the same size as Zhao Siwen's home.
However, although the appearance of this palace is also very exquisite, thanks to Zhao Siwen's unique aesthetic taste, Bu Xingjin no longer has the idea of collecting a palace. The palace has lost its appeal to him.
I just wonder if every disciple of Fuhua Peak has one palace. Why do they all look similar?
Before Bu Xingjin could figure it out, Zhao Siwen stepped forward, knocking on the door and shouting, "Senior Sister, I've brought the person here."
The words were still lingering in the air when the door gently opened. A beautiful woman in a light pink dress, as delicate as a flower, was already standing quietly inside.
"Xiaocao, your vitality is truly astonishing. Not only did you persevere through life and death, but you were also able to transform into a human form in just a short time before arriving at Floating Flower Peak. This is truly remarkable!"
Bu Xingjin keenly noticed that the corners of Zhong Wenxin's eyes were slightly red, as if she had experienced a baptism of sad tears.
I don’t know what the relationship between her and Lu Xunwen is. He actually made her sad for so long.
He pretended not to notice and thanked Zhong Wenxin: "We encountered a flood that day. Thank you for your help, Senior Sister."
“No need.”
"Oh, why don't you go inside and talk? Why do you have to stand at the door and chat?"
Just as Zhong Wenxin finished speaking, she heard Zhao Siwen next to her, seemingly talking to himself, but actually speaking so loudly that it could be heard within a radius of ten meters. Zhong Wenxin and Bu Xingjin both glanced at him and smiled at the same time.
"Come in, I have some scented tea here, all peeled from the spirits of plants and trees, it smells really good."
Zhong Wenxin moved aside the blocked door and motioned for the two to come in.
Zhao Siwen's eyes lit up. Senior Sister's flower tea was truly exceptional. It even contained petals from a peony flower essence that had fallen from the Nascent Soul stage to the Foundation Establishment stage. Drinking it was like eating a natural treasure.
"Senior Sister, I won't be polite then."
Zhao Siwen couldn't wait to enter and headed straight for the scented tea. He came here often and was very familiar with it.
Bu Xingjin followed behind, admiring the scenery as he walked.
Unlike the outlandish interior of Zhao Siwen's palace, Zhong Wenxin's was decorated in a warmer style, with pink curtains hung to let in light but not shadows, dividing the entire palace into smaller areas.
After sitting down at the guest table, Zhao Siwen started drinking without any hesitation, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Zhong Wenxin brought a cup of scented tea and placed it in front of Bu Xingjin.
"Try it."
Bu Xingjin looked at the beautiful cup and the petals of various shapes inside the cup, then picked it up and took a sip.
A refreshing fragrance filled Bu Xingjin's body, and his skills started to work automatically, digesting the rich spiritual energy in the tea.
…
In the small courtyard on the other side.
After Bu Xingjin left, the little turtle was still asleep when a figure quietly opened the gate of the courtyard. Another person, who was not perceived but could be seen with the naked eye, climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
He had a high-level breath-suppressing talisman on his body, and he belonged to a different peak from the person who opened the gate and entered.
The two of them discovered each other and slipped into the room at a very fast speed, one after the other, trying to find the potted tree faster than the other.
The two searched for a long time, but only saw an empty flower pot.
Suspecting that Xiaoshu had been handed over by Bu Xingjin, the two men were in a bad mood and felt as if they had made a wasted trip.
In the end, the two people returned along the same route with nothing, just like the little tree and the little turtle that had grown bigger and left with empty hands.
The little turtle opened his eyes and looked at the backs of the two people, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Bu Xingjin had no idea that such an incident had happened in his courtyard. He also did not expect that the small tree would grow so big that it would be unrecognizable.
After drinking tea with Zhong Wenxin, he said goodbye and returned to the courtyard. He was surprised to find that it was exactly the same as when he left, with no signs of fighting.
Bu Xingjin came to the small tree and asked the little turtle, "Has anyone come in since I left?"
Bu Xingjin asked very skillfully. No one coming and returning empty-handed are two different meanings.
The little turtle opened his eyelids and looked at Bu Xingjin and said, "Two people came in. They went to your room but didn't find anything, so they left immediately."
Go look for it in his room? There is such a big little tree here, why go look for it in his room?
Could it be...
Bu Xingjin looked at the little tree's current appearance, which was completely different from its appearance in the secret realm. No wonder others couldn't recognize it.
"Hahaha……"
Bu Xingjin, who had figured it out, burst into laughter.
At this moment, the small tree in front of me began to change.
A faint golden light emanated from his whole body, and then the light became stronger and stronger but did not dissipate. Instead, it formed a cocoon-like thing that wrapped up the small tree.
The small tree rose into the air and gradually turned into a human shape in mid-air.
The first thing Bu Xingjin noticed was Xiaoshu's eyes. They were dark and dim, without any emotion, as if they could freeze everything around them with their cold gaze.
Bu Xingjin shuddered unconsciously, then realized he'd made a mistake. The tree's icy gaze flickered thoughtfully, its coldness instantly transformed from the loneliness of a thousand-year-old iceberg to the warmth of early spring melting snow, no longer seeming so cold and heartless.
