Chapter 173 Burning Trees and Killing Tigers

Many years passed in a flash, and no Taoist priests buried bodies under the tree anymore.

But the immortal tree, which was used to having nutrients, was unable to adapt.

It began to use the sap of the immortal tree to lure the beasts around it.

The slight spiritual energy attached to it is probably ignored in the world of immortal cultivation, but it has a strong attraction to animals in the secular world.

In this way, the Tree of Immortality began to hunt wild beasts, but the benefits it brought were not as great as those brought by human corpses.

Many years passed like this, and among the people and animals coming and going, there were always some who fell into its trap.

Until he met Da Hu's family, he could only say that Da Hu was lucky. His mother and brothers had been eaten by the Longevity Tree early on, leaving him alone and being fed by spiritual energy.

Soon it became a tiger that could cast spells, perhaps because it had a baby bird-like obsession with the Eternal Life Tree, or perhaps because it could not live without the nourishment of spiritual power.

It began to help the Longevity Tree hunt people and beasts.

They also saw the old man of the Deng family taking Deng Jiarong with him, and the grandfather and grandson walked around in the distance and then left.

They were lucky; if they had gotten any closer they would have been lured and hunted.

The human bones at the roots of the tree are the people who have recently disappeared in the vicinity, and they all serve as nutrients for the Longevity Tree.

The three people came out of the memory illusion of the Eternal Life Tree, and the four people and one tiger outside did not find anything unusual.

"Senior Sister, can the memory illusion of this plant spirit be false?"

"No, Master said that this is the rule of heaven. Activating a memory illusion will greatly damage the magic power of the spiritual plant."

"Then why is it doing this? Is it afraid that we will stew the tiger or chop down the tree?"

Ji Zuo snorted, "The story of the tiger was all made up by the immortal tree to deceive the tiger. It must be afraid that we will cut down the tree."

Ji Qingling also sighed, "Speaking of which, he is also the mortal adopted son of that cultivator, probably the Sanyuan Taoist Temple back then.

I don’t know what his monk master taught him that gave him the confidence to build a Taoist temple and commit murder for money.

Senior sister, senior brother, should we just kill this tiger? Who knows if it has ever eaten a human? I dare not eat its meat.

There is this immortal tree, uprooted or something? We have to make sure it has no chance of escaping."

When the immortal tree heard what Ji Qingling said, the branches that originally had no leaves on them began to shake violently again.

"We can't let you go just because you confessed your crimes. There's no way you'll give up hunting again. Eating people has become your nature."

A flame ignited in Shen Ru's hand, starting from the root of the Longevity Tree. The flame seemed to have life, clinging tightly to the trunk without affecting other parts.

The immortality tree let out a sharp hissing sound. Bao Xian rubbed her arms and huddled closely with Liang Yu. The tree could make strange noises and it was so terrifying and miserable. One could only say that cultivating immortals really broadened one's horizons!

Ji Zuo threw the big tiger in front of the four children. The big tiger could barely be considered a first-class monster. Ji Zuo asked the four children to deal with the big tiger.

Those usable fangs, tiger skins, and claws can be exchanged for spirit stones, and each person can get a few pieces.

No one dared to move. Ji Zuo pointed at the big tiger and said, "Your uncle Qing Ling broke the tiger's claws and legs for you. This is to give you spiritual stones.

In Taiyi Sect, outer disciples only get ten spirit stones a month. If you don’t even dare to do that, what will you use to practice?”

Still no one dared to move~ Even Deng Jiarong had never killed a monster, let alone one with broken limbs.

Ji Zuo shook his head, "Alas, the kids nowadays are not as hard-working as we were back then~"

Ji Qingling found it funny, and acted as if Ji Zuo had suffered a lot in the past.

She ignored Liang Yu's look of help and concentrated on watching Shen Ru burn the tree.

Senior sister’s tree burned really well!

Finally, Deng Jiarong, as a second-stage Qi Refining cultivator with some experience, was the first to step forward with a sword.

Bao Xian seemed to have made up her mind and followed.

The big tiger was already seriously injured and was not far from death. The two men took their weapons and discussed how to start.

Tong Cheng hesitated for a moment and followed. Liang Yu stamped his feet anxiously, but had to follow him reluctantly.

Finally, the four of them worked together to kill the tiger and dismembered its body.

Shen Ru also finished burning the tree and came over. "These guys have had a good life for too long. None of my Taiyi Sect disciples are so useless."

Ji Qingling guessed that these little guys would have a hard time in the future! The problem of the monsters eating people has been solved.

Deng Jiarong bid farewell to his family and followed Ji Qingling and others on the journey to seek immortality!

Four of the five disciples' places have been found, and they plan to continue wandering.

While slaying demons and monsters, they were also looking for their destined partner . They could go anywhere they wanted, whether in big cities or small counties. Occasionally, they would go deep into the mountains and forests to let the four little ones hunt some jackals, tigers and leopards.

Now, even Liang Yu can chop a black bear in half with one sword without batting an eyelid.

You can also chop off the bear's paws and make a delicious meal for everyone.

Only then did everyone realize that Princess Liang Yu’s cooking skills were actually quite good.

~ It has been four months since I last ate bear paws.

Deng Jiarong has been away from home for half a year.

There was no trace of the fifth person that Ji Qingling and the others had been looking for.

At the foot of an unknown mountain, beside a turbulent river.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Several people sat on the rocky beach grilling fish.

Ji Qingling and the other two discussed sending the little ones back to Taiyi Sect first. Although they would teach them, it would be better for them to enter Taiyi Sect as soon as possible.

There is too little spiritual energy here, which is not conducive to cultivation.

Now we just need to decide who will take the others back? Or will all three of them go back first?

Ji Zuo was the most affected among the three. Ji Qingling suggested that he take his four young disciples back first.

Shen Ru had no objection, but Ji Zuo was unwilling.

There is no reason to let the senior and junior sisters continue their mission in this secular world while you go back to practice first.

"Why don't the three of us lead them all the way back? We might find them before we even reach Taiyi Gate. In those remote towns in the Xiuxian world, what if there's a fish that slipped through the net and we catch it?"

If we all discuss it, it's not impossible.

They changed their route and started their return journey, continuing to stop and go in order to catch the fish that had escaped the net.

Changtai City.

A group of seven people were eating Changtai City’s famous braised pigeon.

Ji Qingling was a little depressed because the storage bag could not appear openly.

This greatly affects how much she packs.

She had to ask others to help her carry a few, and the number was limited to what she could hold with both hands.

She led a few people to a corner, and Shen Ru had already put the pigeons into his storage bag.

"Senior sister, I paid the money!"

"Junior Sister Qingling, have you forgotten that our money was given by Liang Yu's father?"

…

Indeed, fairies never bring silver when they go out, and Ji Qingling didn't have much silver to pawn.

When they left, Liang Yu asked her mother to prepare some silver for her, which would be nothing to be bothered with.

When her father found out about it, he sent plates of silver ingots, filling up the entire table.

Liang Yu originally planned to secretly put two into his storage bag.

Unexpectedly, the next moment the pigeon in his hand was snatched away by a figure that suddenly jumped out.

"Alas~"

The few people who had eaten and drunk their fill were already relaxed and didn't notice the people around them at all.

The man ran very fast and soon turned into an alley and disappeared.

Ji Qingling: "So the seven of us monks were robbed by a little thief?"

It's not what you think! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
