Mu Qing nodded upon hearing this, and took out a Blue Star Flower, a light blue spiritual herb with light blue flowers.
The petals are dotted with tiny, transparent specks of light, emitting a soft glow.
A faint floral fragrance permeates the air, bringing clarity to the mind.
Mu Qing: What about this one?
The Wood Clan Ancestor said, "This... feels like the Demon-Cleansing Spirit Grass. I've never seen it in person before. However, yours is twice the size of the Demon-Cleansing Spirit Grass in my inherited memories. This kind of spirit grass is said to only grow in the Twin Secret Realm."
"It grows in the Dark Night Realm of the Twin Realms. The Dark Night Realm is very dangerous, so very few people can obtain this kind of spiritual herb."
"Keep it safe. This kind of spiritual herb is very useful for cultivators who have gone astray or whose bodies have been invaded by demonic or ghostly energy. It can bring them back to their senses."
Mu Qing nodded upon hearing this and asked, "Can the Wood Spirit Clan cultivate this? I have some in my space, this one..."
The Wood Clan Ancestor interrupted him with a smile: "This kind of spiritual herb cannot be grown in the Wood Spirit Domain. If it weren't for its harsh growing conditions, we wouldn't only have heard of it growing in the Dark Night Realm."
"Good child, don't worry. Cultivators of the Wood Clan rarely suffer from qi deviation or being invaded by demonic or ghostly energy."
Mu Qing nodded and put away the Blue Star Grass.
Upon discovering that the Tree of Life in the space had already borne fruit, Mu Qing was overjoyed and plucked a fruit.
Tuantuan, who had just woken up from her slumber in the space, saw that Mu Qing was about to take the Life Fruit out, so she jumped onto the fruit and was taken out with her.
Mu Qing lowered her head and met Tuan Tuan's large, clear black and white eyes.
The little black ball was very happy to see Mu Qing. It exclaimed "Ah!" and buried its head in Mu Qing's arms.
Mu Qing: "..."
Seeing Tuantuan, Mu Qing couldn't help but think of Diandian, Xiao Jin, Huo Feng, and Xiao Xu.
However, it's good that they're with Murong Yu. With them around, A Yu and Ao are less afraid of losing their fighting power.
Mu Qing reached out and held Tuantuan, who was nestled in his arms, feeling the joy and dependence she was conveying. His mood also brightened.
The moment the Wood Clan Ancestor saw Tuan Tuan, he forgot all his surprise at the Fruit of Life in Mu Qing's hand and stared intently at the little black ball in Mu Qing's arms, his face full of shock.
The little black dumpling seemed to sense the intense gaze fixed on it. It turned around, tilted its head, blinked its big eyes, and looked at the green-haired youth opposite it with confusion.
Little black dumpling: "Huh?"
Mu Qing followed Tuan Tuan's gaze and looked over.
Seeing the identical confusion in the eyes of the two, one big and one small, the Wood Clan Ancestor suppressed his shock and burst into laughter.
The Wood Clan Ancestor said, "Child, this little fellow is quite extraordinary."
"Now I finally understand why you can grow the Demon-Clearing Spirit Grass so well."
"With it around, there's nothing that's bad to grow."
"Treat it well."
"It is a rare spiritual soil. Even an Immortal Emperor would be tempted by it once it appears in the world. It must be hidden well in the outside world."
Tuantuan seemed to understand that the other person was praising it, and shyly snuggled into Mu Qing's arms, happily saying "Ah-ya, ah-ya" as it snuggled in.
Mu Qing said gratefully to the Wood Clan Ancestor, "Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor."
The Wood Clan Ancestor laughed heartily, "It's alright."
The two chatted for a while longer before Mu Qing took his leave of the Wood Clan Ancestor.
Seeing that Mu Qing was determined to leave, the Wood Clan Ancestor did not try to persuade him further. He handed Mu Qing a wooden box with a large interior made of the Space Tree. Inside were a hundred top-grade spirit stones, a few flying leaves, a large bottle of spirit milk, and some spirit herbs and materials.
