The tree was stunned for a few seconds, then shouted loudly: "No, what!!"
"Hasn't the girl heard the saying that people move and live, trees move and die? I'm happy growing up here and don't want to move."
Lan Zhi still refused to give up and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I can even move the soil under your feet to my house. I will never let you die from acclimatization."
Dashu's tone was already filled with fear: "I...then I won't leave either. Ah! What are you doing!"
Lan Zhi has already taken out the shovel from the treasure hunting space... To be precise, it’s not an iron shovel, but a golden shovel?
Anyway, this thing was shining with gold, overflowing with spiritual energy, and full of the aura of a nouveau riche. Lan Zhi waved the golden shovel and replied in a depressed tone, "I want to invite you to my home."
The tree was almost mad, "I won't go!!"
Lan Zhi didn't care what it said. She continued digging, determined to dig up the ownerless tree on the road.
It's not her fault for being unreasonable. The main reason is that spirited plants are even more precious than ginseng. If an ordinary person saw ginseng, wouldn't they want to dig it up? Even if they didn't eat it themselves, they could sell it for money. Similarly, Lan Zhi's behavior of digging up trees is also normal in the cultivation world. Some hot-tempered demon cultivators would directly cut down trees and take them home. How could they be as gentle as Lan Zhi?
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. After I plant you in my home, I will take good care of you." Lan Zhi comforted.
"I..." The tree felt hopeless and lost all hope in life. "Actually, I'm not a tree..."
"Hmm?" Lan Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly and stopped what she was doing.
The big tree knew that he couldn't escape today, so he transformed himself into a tall young man with an upright figure.
The young man was 1.9 meters tall, with a strong build and bulging muscles in his arms. His arms were thicker than Lan Zhi's legs. He had regular facial features, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and his features were sharp and angular. He stood in front of Lan Zhi like an iron tower, casting a huge shadow.
Lan Zhi raised her head and looked at him blankly.
"You, you are a demon?"
When animals and plants acquire intelligence, they become "beasts," and if they can transform into human form, they become "monsters." Monsters can have their own territories and lead the beast tribe.
There are no demons in the Great Rui Kingdom, because it is not easy to transform from a beast into a demon. Demons are very powerful, and even the weakest demon can fight Prince Rui to a draw.
If we can trick a monster into the Lan Mansion, then why should we be afraid of Prince Rui?
"I'm not a demon." The young man looked helpless. He explained, "I practiced a special technique that allows me to turn into a tree..."
This sentence was half true and half false, because he could not only turn into a tree, but also other plants. However, today was the first time he met Lan Zhi, so he certainly couldn't tell the truth. Who would be so foolish as to tell his real information to a stranger?
The young man sighed deeply and continued, "I was planning to persuade you to leave, and then I would sneak away... But the girl brought tools with her and almost dug me out..."
"Ahem, sorry."
"It's okay, I forgive you." The young man didn't want to argue with the woman. He raised his foot to leave, but was stopped by Lan Zhi.
"This shovel is for you."
"Give it to me?" The young man looked at the golden spiritual weapon and shook his head. "No merit, no reward. How could I accept something from you for nothing?"
"Take it, this is what I just picked up..."
The young man looked wary, because Lan Zhi's excuse was so lame. Putting aside the rarity of the spiritual weapon, the gold alone was enough to make one envious. Who would leave such a spiritual weapon lying on the ground? And have Lan Zhi pick it up? This excuse was an insult to his intelligence.
"Girl... Actually, I know who you are. You are Miss Lan Zhi from the Lan family. Not only are you beautiful, but you are also one of the best among the younger generation. Almost all the powerful children in the capital know you, and I am one of them..." At this moment, the young man felt extremely regretful. How nice it would have been if he had known earlier that he could just quietly be a tree?
The reason he had just spoken to Lan Zhi was because Lan Zhi had stepped on his shoulder, using the branches and leaves he had conjured to conceal her. At the same time, she had also suppressed all of her aura, resembling a corpse. The young man was eager to learn this advanced breath-hiding technique, so he wanted to pretend to be a hermit... no, a tall tree, hoping to use his status as a hermit to obtain the technique from Lan Zhi. However, what the young man didn't expect was that Lan Zhi, like a robber, attacked him directly, not giving him a chance to communicate...
He had no choice but to show up, but now, she refused to let him go, so the young man could only introduce himself: "Miss Lanzhi, my name is Mu Fenqing."
"So it's Master Mu. I've heard of your name for a long time..."
Mu Fenqing knew that she was just being polite and didn't take it seriously. He had no fame in the capital at all, so how could he say that he had "long heard of your name"?
Mu Fenqing knew he had seen too many things tonight that he shouldn't have seen, like Lan Zhi coming to this remote place late at night and using bait to lure in two beasts, and then there was the golden spiritual weapon she had taken out...
If you know too much, you will be silenced.
Mu Fenqing guessed that Lan Zhi didn't really want to give him the golden shovel, but rather wanted to use it to smash his head...
"Miss Lanzhi, regarding what happened tonight, I can swear an oath to my inner demon that I will never reveal any information about you." Mu Fenqing promised.
Ordinary people can swear to the heavens, and even if they break their oath, nothing will happen to them. However, cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and have achieved cultivation. Once they swear an oath, they must abide by it. Otherwise, they will develop inner demons and will not be able to make any progress in their cultivation. In serious cases, they may even lose their lives.
Of course, some people aren't afraid of swearing an oath at all, because oaths can be exploited. For example, someone might say, "If I break my oath, my cultivation will stagnate!"
However, this person's talent is limited, and his cultivation has long been stagnant and unable to improve. Even if he breaks his oath, it doesn't matter.
Of course, Mu Fenqing would not lie to Lan Zhi.
"You don't have to swear, I really want to give you this golden shovel..." Lan Zhi said seriously. After all, she was in the treasure hunting space, and there were so many spiritual weapons that she couldn't even count them, and she couldn't use many of them herself.
A person's energy is limited, and the spiritual instruments that can be contracted are also limited. The human body is like a cup, and the spiritual instrument is like clear water. How can a cup of water hold an entire lake?
If a cultivator improves his cultivation, it is equivalent to expanding the capacity of the cup, so that he can contract more spiritual weapons.
However, the vast majority of people in the Da Rui Kingdom do not have such worries because they do not even have a spiritual weapon.
This golden shovel would be a waste if it were in Lan Zhi's hands; she wouldn't contract it. But giving it to Mu Fenqing would be different. There was a forbidden spell on the golden shovel, so she could always keep track of Mu Fenqing's movements, and even make this spiritual weapon explode with a bang...
