Chapter 29 Foundation Building
Nan smiled but said nothing.
She usually takes words like this as a compliment.
"The grudge between this demon beast and cultivators has existed since ancient times. I had no intention of interfering in your affairs. But that demon beast once did me a favor, and since it was its dying wish, I must comply. So, little girls, please leave this egg. I won't make it difficult for you. You can leave on your own." The ancient tree's voice was kind, and it slowly explained, "I tied you up before because Xiaoya was playful. It has only recently awakened to spiritual intelligence, so it is inevitable that it is a bit playful. I asked you to dig up all the spiritual herbs on the ground. This is just an apology. Don't bother with it anymore."
"I see." Nan Xiao touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
"Grandpa, you can see that I'm just practicing Qi and can't fly a sword yet. Would you mind sending us out again?"
After Nan Xiao finished speaking, he placed the monster egg next to the tree root and looked at it with anticipation.
"I don't have this ability. You have to ask Xiaoya." The old tree said with a smile.
Xiaoya?
Nan Xiao looked at the vines on the highest branch of the ancient tree and felt a headache, as if he had offended it badly.
How to coax plants?
Waiting online, very anxious.
Nan Xiao cleared her throat, her voice softening considerably as she coaxed him, "Xiaoya, everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding. We're not friends after a fight, are we? How about we come down and have a good chat?"
Xiaoya's leaves moved and ignored her.
Nan Xiao smiled kindly, "Look, you were the one who kidnapped me first, and then I set the fire to scare you. So you can't blame me entirely, right? I apologize for my earlier recklessness and ignorance. You're already a mature vine, and as we humans say, you're a magnanimous person. You naturally wouldn't bother with a petty person like me, don't you agree?"
Seeing Xiaoya's vines move, she continued to tempt him, "If you're willing to send us out, I'll promise you one thing. As long as it's not against the will of heaven, evil, or disregarding human life, I'll do my best to help you accomplish it. How about it?"
What plants like most is probably spiritual soil or spiritual liquid.
I'll find some when I get a chance. Besides, it's hard to say whether we'll meet again after we leave here.
This is equivalent to a pie.
The vine of Xiaoya suddenly rushed down from the top, its vines wrapped around Nan Xiao's arm, and the top swayed towards her again.
Nan Xiao: “·····”Brother, what do you mean?
She didn't even understand the language of animals, let alone plants.
Seeing that Nan Xiao didn't understand, Xiaoya turned around and entangled the ancient tree.
After a while, the ancient tree spoke: "Xiaoya means that I can help you, but you have to take it out."
"What?" Nan Xiao was a little surprised: "No, how do I carry this?"
"Should we take it out of this place, or take it out of this secret place?"
"Silly girl, of course we have to leave the secret realm. Xiaoya doesn't know which corner of this secret realm we are in, so we still need you to lead us." said the ancient tree.
Little Bud straightened his body with pride. He was very familiar with this place. He had been in this secret place for as long as he could remember. He knew every tree and flower here very well.
"It's very simple. Plants without intelligence in the secret realm can be taken with you at will. But those with intelligence need to sign a contract with someone before they can leave. Otherwise, they will be trapped in the secret realm for life, until the end of their lifespan or the secret realm's destruction." The ancient tree explained slowly, its thick trunk trembling slightly, and its branches rustling. The vicissitudes and low voice echoed in the space, carrying a hint of sadness.
If possible, who would be willing to be confined to this world for a lifetime?
Nan Xiao blinked her eyes, there was such a good thing.
She quickly replied, "Of course I am willing." From now on, she would also be someone who had a contracted demon spirit.
Seeing that she agreed, Xiaoya was no longer afraid of her. She wrapped her arms around Nan Xiao's and rubbed her affectionately with the leaves on her arms.
You can see its joy.
"Little girl, you have two spiritual roots, one of which is a wood spiritual root with the same properties as the little bud. I think it will be helpful to you. Treat it well in the future." The ancient tree was like a kind elder, with a gentle voice and branches swaying gently, carrying blessings and expectations for the younger generation.
It can't get out in this lifetime, so it's good that Xiaoya can get out. This little girl can not abandon or give up on her teammates in the dangerous moment, which shows that she has a good character.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Although I'm not very strong now, I will practice diligently in the future to become stronger. I will never let Xiaoya follow the wrong person."
"That's great."
As soon as they finished speaking, a sharp object grew out of Xiaoya's vine and pierced directly into Nan Xiao's wrist.
Without any preparation, the surrounding spiritual energy rushed into Nan Xiao's body frantically, and her spiritual roots began to heat up.
In order to avoid exploding and dying, Nan Xiao sat in meditation on the spot, regulating the spiritual energy in his body one by one, and slowly immersed himself in the state of cultivation.
At the same time, her wood spiritual root was also slowly changing. It was originally only two-thirds green, but now it was full green, a top-grade wood spiritual root.
Her cultivation level also increased rapidly during this period.
Qi training seventh level...
Eighth level of Qi training...
Ninth level of Qi training...
When she opened her eyes again, her body felt lighter than ever before. She stared at her hands in disbelief. She had actually established her foundation.
Happiness comes a little too suddenly.
"Junior Sister Nan, you are finally awake."
Li Buyan sat across from her, his expression looking much better than before, though there was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Hey, junior brother, are you feeling better? Is your recovery ability so strong?" Nan Xiao felt his pulse. He looked like he was dying yesterday, but now he is full of energy. It can be called a medical miracle.
Li Buyan slapped her hand away and said unhappily, "It's been half a month, how could it not be better?"
He originally wanted to ask Nan Xiao why she knocked him out, but when he opened his eyes, this girl had been practicing to break through the realm. She had absorbed all the spiritual energy around her. He couldn't absorb any and could only watch helplessly.
Nan Xiao nodded. It turned out that so much time had passed. "Is the secret realm closed?"
Can they still get out?
"You woke up at the perfect time. There are still two days left. There's still time."
"That's fine, little brother, I'll take you away later."
Xiaoya signed a contract with Nanxiao. Even though Xiaoya couldn't speak, she understood what Xiaoya meant.
"Go, we don't know when we will meet again after this separation, so say goodbye to grandpa." Xiaoya transformed into a wooden bracelet and put it on Nan Xiao's hand.
The small bud turned back into its original form, wrapped around the tree trunk for a while, talked to the ancient tree for a long time, and then left reluctantly.
"It's agreed, we're leaving now." Nan Xiao touched Xiaoya's leaves. "I'll have to trouble you to see us off."
She had originally wanted to fly on her own, but considering her own Xuan Sword was broken, she had only theory, not practice, about flying with a sword. To avoid a crash midway, it was safer and more appropriate for Xiaoya to escort them out.
