Chapter 234 Distribution Issue

Ji Qingling just raised his head blankly.

The voice sounded again, "Where did the buds in your body come from?"

Ji Qingling replied, "Our family's spiritual tree, someone came to steal it, and it protected me in times of crisis. Two years later, this appeared in my Dantian."

Ji Qingling was shocked after she finished speaking. She didn't want to say it, but she unconsciously told the truth to the old spirit tree! The old spirit tree's voice sounded again, "No one can lie to us in this secret realm."

Well, it’s your secret place, you decide.

Ji Qingling no longer bothered about this issue.

“Senior Shu, you said you are not the ancestor of Little Sprout?”

"Every tree in this secret place is my descendant. No one can take them away. The one in your body should come from the same place as me."

"Senior Shu, where are you from?"

"I don't remember. I have been in this secret place since I can remember."

Maybe because of the small tender bud, the old spirit tree’s attitude towards her can be described as very gentle.

However, it did not know much information about the red pearl tree. Apart from its own descendants, it had never seen its own kind and did not know its own origins.

Ji Qingling returned to his team, where everyone was sitting together chatting.

The male cultivator Tu Zhongfu who joined the Ji family team with her was expressing his opinions to Ji Zhihan.

"At the beginning, Fellow Daoist Ji promised to distribute the fruits fairly and not to mistreat us, but now I only got one spiritual fruit, while some people got several. How can I accept this?"

Ji Qingling raised her eyebrows. Is this someone referring to her?

Ji Zhihan was also a little unhappy. "Fellow Daoist Tu, when we agreed on fair distribution, it meant sharing the gains. The spiritual fruits we got this time were all based on our personal abilities, and fair distribution does not mean equal distribution."

Tu Zhongfu looked a little embarrassed and angry for a moment. Was he saying that he didn't contribute? "Fellow Daoist Ji, do you mean that I took advantage of everyone?"

"Fellow Daoist Tu, please don't misunderstand. We have just entered the secret realm. It all depends on our own luck. We form a team so that we can take care of each other when we encounter powerful monsters."

How could Tu Zhongfu not understand this truth? He was just too angry. He only got a spiritual fruit because he fought with the monster together.

Especially after hearing from others that Ji Qingling had obtained four spiritual fruits, thinking about his own cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, it was really aggrieved! Ji Guangjin was a talkative person, and he also knew that Tu Zhongfu was jealous. "Then let's make a deal, so as to avoid any misunderstandings. We each got what we deserved based on our own abilities. I think the secret realm is so big, why not just act on our own!"

Although Tu Zhongfu felt uncomfortable after hearing this, he actually liked what he heard and he had long wanted to stop hanging out with this group of people.

Ji Yuting poked Ji Qingling, "Have you found that the people in the Jiang family are a little strange?"

"Why is it strange?"

"It's been a day, and the fog has long since dissipated. Jiang Songqing and Jiang Siyun have been staying near the big tree and won't leave."

After hearing what Ji Yuting said, Ji Qingling realized belatedly that the two people had indeed been near the big tree.

Aren’t you curious about what other places in the secret realm are like?

A day passed quickly, and everyone set up camp under the old spiritual tree. After walking around for a day, they found that the spiritual energy around the old spiritual tree was even purer.

Ji Qingling half-closed her eyes and looked at her companions who were practicing around the old spiritual tree. Alas, she wanted to sleep. She already had small buds, and the spiritual power here did not have much effect on her.

Unless she is consuming spiritual energy all the time, there is no need to replenish it actively.

Look into the distance and guess approximately how far you need to be to avoid other people's spiritual sense.

I don't want to appear too different, so I just stay away from everyone.

She chose a direction and rode her national treasure away from the crowd. The night breeze was cool and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of the red pearl tree.

She recalled the time when she played with her friends under a tree when she was a child. She went from being resistant and silent when she first arrived in a strange environment to being slowly moved by the warmth of her family and accepting them.

Life was so easy back then. She didn't have to practice cultivation, and she didn't have to think about anything except what delicious food her parents could bring back.

Sometimes, apart from some adults staying in the village to look after the spiritual trees and take care of the children, the rest of the time, apart from cultivating, the parents would be out hunting animals and collecting spiritual herbs.

Ji Qingyuan was just a child at that time, but he had to take care of her.

Sigh~ I miss home! I don't know how my parents are doing now? She was captured by the Green Dragon, Guan Yunchao and the others must have been very worried, and then sent a message back through the Treasure Pavilion, saying that they were going to Wuwang Sea.

Based on her understanding of Ji Qingyuan, that guy would most likely come to find her.

But it will take ten years for this secret realm to send her out! Alas~ Why does it feel like there haven't been a few days of peace since I established my foundation?

In just this moment, she sighed twice! Before she knew it, the national treasure had already taken her a long distance.

Even a spiritual sense as powerful as Ji Qingling could not detect the existence of the old spiritual tree.

There was a fluctuation of spiritual power ahead, and Ji Qingling immediately signaled the national treasure to fly over.

When Ji Qingling arrived, she found that there was a surprise waiting for her! There was a spiritual tree with dozens of bright red spiritual fruits hanging on it, waving at her.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just as I was about to go up and pick it, I suddenly remembered what I heard from my parents when I was in Xiaowang Mountain.

The red pearl fruit is produced directly from the center of the flower. The petals do not fall and are kept wrapped in the petals until they are ripe. Those petals are almost the same as the leaves and are difficult to be discovered.

When the fruits are ripe, they are not picked by humans, but fall naturally. The fruits that do not fall will be covered by petals again, year after year.

The longest-lasting fruit the Ji family encountered was the red pearl fruit, which was hundreds of years old and bloomed hundreds of times before falling off.

The Soul-Tempering Pills that were refined over hundreds of years could be used by Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, while those that were several decades old could be used by Foundation Establishment cultivators. The worst ones that were only a few years old or even only one year old were naturally for the Qi Refining Stage.

Ji Qingling thought about his three thousand year old coins and could only sigh that this secret realm was truly a blessed land.

If you directly pick the fruits that have not fallen off naturally, they will turn black and you will no longer be able to make medicine.

Those that are not caught will sink into the ground and turn into nutrients to supply the spirit tree.

These are the experiences accumulated by the ancestors of the Ji family. I didn’t expect that Ji Qingling could use them at this time.

At this time, a fruit fell first. Ji Qingling caught it with his spiritual hand and put it into the jade box.

A five-hundred-year-old coin, really nice! Next is a one-thousand-year-old coin!

Then the next few fruits were hundreds or thousands of years old! Only nine of the dozens of spiritual fruits fell, and the others were wrapped in petals and hidden back.

Although the quantity is small, the quality is really good!

There are no fruits from lower years. Could it be that they are of different varieties?

"It's because of the spiritual power!"

"Senior Tree!"

Wow, I can sense her from such a distance.

"The spiritual energy in the outside world is thin. Those that fell down actually fell down because of insufficient nutrients."

I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. I feel like I've been stuck in writing too much lately. This is what a stubborn rookie does. I didn't have a complete outline (when I started writing, I thought I had an outline, but later I met some friends who were also writing, and I realized that what I had couldn't be called an outline, it could only be called a very strange table!) but I still managed to write 500,000 words. I'll find time tomorrow to work on the direction of the rest.

There are also some gaps that I may have forgotten to fill in a long time ago. I usually write them down in a small notebook, so there may be omissions. I'm waiting for your comments!
