Chapter 249: The damaged companion plant. A divine consciousness in Ye Lu's words...
As Ye Lu finished speaking, a divine consciousness slowly floated out from the tree roots, followed by a somewhat helpless and steady voice: "I can sense your arrival, A-Lu, no need to call out."
Qingsong wanted to sigh. He didn't know why, but he always felt that his "companion" seemed to be becoming more and more lively.
Ye Lu shrugged, as if he had heard the voice of his companion strange plant.
Qingsong didn't want to say anything about his companion, and he didn't really want to say he had a companion. It would be better to say that his companion was closer to him, and Qingsong would be very happy about it.
Qingsong set his eyes on the red-haired young man standing beside him.
The Fire Ghost Leader has been paying attention to the strange plant consciousness in the air. Although he can vaguely see that it is still a Qingyou-level strange plant consciousness, this aura... is too terrifying.
Qingsong noticed the nervousness of the Fire Ghost Leader, and soothed him gently: "Don't be nervous, just come closer so that I can see clearly." Sometimes the companion strange plant and the companion are really similar. For example, Qingsong really looks like the feeling given by Lord Chongshan.
Qingsong used his spiritual sense to slowly scan the red-haired young man in front of him. After just one glance, Qingsong knew the information he wanted. However, looking at the information he had obtained, Qingsong couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment. Is this good luck or bad luck?
Qingsong was actually a little confused as to whether his companion's luck was really that good, or whether this red-haired young man was also a person of great luck in this world.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Qingsong didn't say anything, Ye Lu couldn't help but ask.
"Did something happen?"
"Oh, nothing, but I already know what's going on." Qingsong was successfully awakened by the companion's words. He turned to the red-haired young man and asked softly, "Do you still have a half-lived strange plant?"
"Yes, it is a Flame Sheep Peach." The Fire Ghost Lord nodded and told the truth. However, when he said this, the Fire Ghost leader subconsciously thought of the situation of his companion strange plant. Flame often slept and hadn't talked to him for a long time. The Fire Ghost couldn't help but frowned.
"The companion plant of yours has been severely affected by some unexpected events. This event should be related to you. The relationship between the companion plant and its companion is very special. Generally speaking, they can be considered as a whole. Even if your damaged foundation has been repaired, the damaged Flame Sheep Peach is still in a damaged state."
"That is to say, your foundation is still damaged. In this case, even if you take a lot of strange food, it will be useless." Qingsong tried his best to speak in words that the other party could understand.
The fire ghost leader understood Qingsong's words and his face turned extremely pale.
Indeed, ever since it was damaged, the flame has been acting sluggishly. According to what this companion plant said, it makes sense that he can never break through again.
Qingsong paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Is your companion plant's spiritual consciousness damaged?"
"!" The fire ghost leader suddenly looked up at the spiritual consciousness in the air. Although he didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the other party was right.
As expected, Qingsong had a headache. He must have expected it right.
"Don't worry, I sensed it. If it was a normal strange plant, I should be able to feel the spiritual energy around you immediately. Unfortunately, I felt very little, which means that the strange plant that accompanies you is in a very ordinary state."
"Can you tell me the specific reason?" Qingsong asked softly, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."
"It's not inconvenient, but I've always felt ashamed, so I don't want to face that matter." Fire Ghost shook his head and said very calmly: "The reason for that incident was that I was too impatient."
"I only wanted to break through, and secretly took strange food that was beyond my ability. As a result, my strange power rioted during my retreat, and I almost died. In order to save me, Flame absorbed the rioting strange power, and has been in a deep sleep ever since."
The fire ghost hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "Maybe it's my illusion. I always feel that after the flame woke up, its mind seemed to have deteriorated a little." It seemed to have become much smaller.
It’s just that the Flame Sheep Peach had been sleeping for too long, and the Fire Ghost was worried that disturbing it rashly would affect its recovery, so he didn’t dare to investigate further and just kept it in mind.
Qingsong nodded in understanding: "It's normal. The strange plant has strong vitality and can't be forcibly collected like this. It should be that the strange force has overwhelmed it and made it lose its mind."
Ye Lu listened carefully to the entire process.
After Qingsong finished speaking, he sighed softly and asked: "Then is there no other way?"
The Fire Ghost Leader was already disappointed. In this world, there are many ways to cultivate strange plants, and there are also many ways to make up for strange plants. However, there are very few ways to make up for damaged companion strange plants. Firstly, there are very few companion strange plants, let alone damaged ones. Secondly, strange plants are naturally strong in vitality and are difficult to be damaged. As long as there is land and strange power, they can slowly recover. The provider only needs to provide enough strange beads and strange flesh and blood.
The situation of companion strange plants is a bit like that of humans.
When the Fire Ghost Leader knew that his companion plant was damaged, he must have healed it as soon as possible. He used many methods and connections, even the village chief Qingshan.
The fire ghost leader thought he had cured the Flame Sheep Peach, but he just became a little sleepy.
Looking back now, it can only be said that it was in vain.
Qingsong wanted to keep it a secret at first, because he actually thought the red-haired young man in front of him was quite pleasing to the eye. It might be because the other party also had a companion strange plant, and the aura of that companion strange plant was very immature, which always gave Qingsong the illusion of meeting a younger member of the same clan.
Now that he's been interrupted by his companion, he can't keep the secret any longer.
…
He said that his companion is becoming more and more lively!
Qingsong said with certainty in his heart.
Hearing the words of Lord Chongshan next to him, the already disappointed Fire Ghost Leader also raised his head and looked straight at the spiritual consciousness in the air. The expectation in his eyes was self-evident.
Qingsong's consciousness paused when being stared at by these two people, then slowly relaxed and answered carefully: "Yes, there is such a strange food, but..."
"Just what?" The fire ghost leader heard half of it and couldn't hold back his excitement any longer, so he asked.
"But this strange food may not be ripe yet!" Qingsong was asked this question and turned to look at Ye Lu beside him, and the meaning of his words was revealed.
Ye Lu was confused at first, but soon he reacted under the gazes of the Fire Ghost Leader and Qingsong. He pointed at himself in surprise and asked in confusion: "Me?"
"To be precise, it's the strange plant you just planted? According to the time, it should be mature soon." Qingsong reminded considerately, and after the reminder, it lowered its head to calculate the time.
Ye Lu quickly understood Qingsong's words, and also quickly realized that the strange plant Qingsong was talking about was Huitao. It was the only strange plant on the mountain that was about to mature.
"Can strange food also be used on strange plants?" Ye Lu was surprised reflexively.
"It's not necessarily the case with other strange plants, but Hui Tao is quite special." Qingsong started to explain, but he didn't say how it was special. As for the other question that the companion wanted to know, he asked very directly: "Humans can absorb strange power. Strange plants can absorb it too, and strange plants can absorb strange flesh and blood, so why can't a simple strange food do that?"
"It didn't happen before, but it was because the weird food was too expensive, and most weird plants were unwilling to absorb the weird power of other weird plants. They would feel like their territory was invaded."
"Huitao, is that okay?" Ye Lu raised his eyebrows.
Qingsong nodded calmly: "That's why I said Huitao is special."
The leader of the fire ghosts was standing aside, not understanding what was going on, but he managed to understand from the conversation between the strange plant and the man that there was probably a strange plant on the mountain that could solve his problem.
But now this strange plant is still under the management of Chongshan.
The fire ghost leader's heart was lifted again, this time he was excited. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu was stared at for a moment, and couldn't help but blame his own companion plant for not explaining clearly. He faced the scorching gaze of the Fire Ghost Leader and emphasized in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just a Qingyou-level strange food."
“…it may not solve your problem.”
Having said that, Ye Lu's meaning has been expressed very clearly.
The fire ghost leader's smile grew wider, and his fierce and gorgeous appearance attracted more attention. He thanked sincerely, "Thank you very much."
As for the sentence that Ye Lu emphasized later, the Fire Ghost Leader also remembered it in his heart. He said seriously: "I know."
As everyone knows, there has been an unspoken rule in this world since humans began to use "weird food".
It is best for the Weird Warriors to take Weird Food of the same level as themselves, or of a higher level than themselves. It is best not to take Weird Food of a lower level than themselves. The former may cause your Weird Power to riot, while the latter may result in the Weird Power being absorbed too cleanly, resulting in no effect at all.
This is what Ye Lu is worried about.
As for the Fire Ghost Leader, he is now in a state of complete disappointment. The road ahead is unclear. He also refused the Moon Spirit Ritual and has no idea what to do next.
The fire ghost leader was also unwilling to tell his elders about his situation.
Ye Lu's words were like a clear path. No matter what their effect was, at least they gave the Fire Ghost Leader a direction.
How could the Fire Ghost Leader not be grateful!
"...Okay!" It can be seen that the Fire Ghost Leader is sincerely grateful, but he doesn't know whether he can accept the possibility of failure in the future. As a result, Ye Lu is unwilling to dampen the other party's enthusiasm.
Anyway, he had already said it in advance.
As for Huitao's strange food, Ye Lu hasn't figured out how to use it yet.
Originally, Ye Lu intended to save all these Hui Taos. His intuition told him that Hui Taos were very useful, so it was not impossible to give them to the caravan. However, Ye Lu was reluctant to do so. As for Taiqing Trading Company, the incident of the food banquet some time ago had not yet disappeared, so there was no need to continue serving strange food, and Hui Taos were not qualified to be served at the food banquet.
Now the Fire Ghost Leader needs it.
It just so happens that he can help him understand the specific function of Huitao Guishi. Ye Lu nodded with satisfaction. He can also make friends with a powerful person by the way. This Huitao Guishi flower is worth it!
"Then you will stay here for the time being?" Ye Lu turned his head and asked the red-haired young man. Seeing the eager look of the Fire Ghost Leader, Ye Lu estimated that the other party would most likely not leave the Forbidden Stone Ridge.
The Fire Ghost nodded happily. This was exactly what he meant. Lord Chongshan was indeed a good man.
