Chapter 198 A Spiritual Leaf



"If someone from the Wan Chao family can give gifts to others, then they are naturally very good friends." Wan Chaochun thought for a moment and said, "What a pity, I'm afraid you won't make it out alive, otherwise you could help me pass on a message to my family."

"Why don't you tell me what to say first, what if I can get out alive?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Wan Chaochun sighed and said, "It's nothing, actually. I started learning martial arts at the age of three, entered the trial field at the age of nine, became a super spirit at the age of thirteen, became invincible in the club before I was twenty, and left the Wan Chao family at the age of twenty-seven to travel the world. I thought I was invincible, but in the end I couldn't even fight a finger of someone else. I have been guarding other people's homes for decades. I couldn't fulfill my filial piety to my parents, and I couldn't have children to expand the Wan Chao family. I don't know what to say, I just want to know if my parents are still safe now."

"Sister, don't joke with me. I don't think you are that old. From your voice, you are only in your twenties, not much older than me." Li Xiu was not complimenting. He really saw that Wan Chaochun looked to be only in her twenties. He didn't believe that she could be Wan Chaoxin's grandmother.

Wan Chaochun laughed and said, "Xiao Ba came here more than ten years later than me. How old do you think I am now?"

"I don't believe it. Can you take off your veil and let me see?" Li Xiu said.

Wan Chaochun hesitated for a moment when she heard that, but then she reached out and took off her veil, revealing a fair and smooth face. She looked like a woman in her twenties, so how could she be as old as she said?

"Looking at your face, I can't even call you sister now. Are you sure you are really Wan Chaoxin's aunt?" Li Xiu looked at Wan Chaochun in surprise. He was really surprised. If Wan Chaochun was really that old, she would have looked so well-maintained.

Wan Chaochun was delighted when he heard this and said with a smile: "Time seems to have stopped in this wooden house. My appearance now is actually the same as when I first came in, but I am older mentally."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "With such a beautiful face, you really shouldn't waste your time here. After I finish drinking the water, you can get out of this predicament, sister. In fact, you are only in your twenties. You can start a good life after you get out. There is no need to feel sorry for yourself."

"Have you thought of a way to break the impasse?" Wan Chaochun's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Li Xiu so calm, as if he had already made up his mind.

"I have some immature ideas, so I'd like to give them a try," said Li Xiu.

"If you can really save me from this predicament, I, Wan Chaochun, will truly acknowledge you as my younger brother. If anyone dares to embarrass you in the future, they will be my enemy..." Wan Chaochun seemed to have thought of something as he spoke, and shook his head again, "Not appropriate... Not appropriate... You and Wan Chaoxin are friends, if I acknowledge you as my younger brother, wouldn't that mess up the generations?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Wan Chaoxin and I are not that familiar with each other. He just gave me something, and we don't have much of a friendship. It's okay. I have recognized you as my sister." Li Xiu said with a smile.

There is no disadvantage in recognizing such a beautiful sister, and she is Wan Chaoxin's aunt. More importantly, even if Wan Chaochun is not as powerful as she says, she is still a member of the Wan Chao family. When he enters Changshengtian in the future, he will have to deal with the Wan Chao family. With such a relationship, some troubles should be reduced. What Li Xiu fears most is trouble.

Wan Chaochun nodded and said, "If you can really get out, we will swear an oath of blood and become siblings from now on."

Wan Chaochun actually didn't really believe that Li Xiu could break out, he just thought that this guy was quite interesting. If he really had a younger brother like this, it shouldn't be too boring.

All I can say is that Wan Chaochun, who has been trapped for decades, is really too bored.

Li Xiu looked down at the three bowls of water in front of him, then reached out and picked up the white jade bowl.

When Wan Chaochun saw Li Xiu pick up the bowl, he suddenly felt nervous.

After waiting for so many years, only three people have come. If Li Xiu dies like this, I don’t know when the next person will come.

Li Xiu picked up the white jade bowl, but did not drink the water. Amid Wan Chaochun's surprised expression, he slowly poured the water in the white jade bowl into the white jade bottle.

Wan Chaochun was stunned at first, then stared at the white jade bottle with surprise and joy. Li Xiu's move was indeed somewhat unexpected, but it seemed to make some sense.

When the water in the bowl was almost empty, Wan Chaochun's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably. She was really afraid that when the water dried up, Li Xiu would die.

But until Li Xiu poured out the water in the bowl and put down the white jade bowl, the white flower in the white jade bottle did not react.

Li Xiu picked up the black jade bowl again and poured all the water into the white jade bottle. After all the water was poured, he put the black jade bowl back and the black flowers did not react at all.

Li Xiu picked up the last red jade bowl again and poured this bowl of water into it, but the result was the same.

Putting the red jade bowl back on the table, Li Xiu looked at the white jade bottle in front of him with a slightly solemn expression.

Three bowls of water were poured into the white jade bottle, and as he expected, there was no danger.

But now it was time for him to make a decision: how to drink the water in the white jade bottle.

Only by mixing the three bowls of water together and drinking them can one avoid harm to the body, so he poured all three bowls of water in.

There are two options now. One is to directly pick up the white jade bottle and drink up all the water in the bottle. The consequences are unknown, and there is no way to explain to Mr. Ba.

The fact that the Eighth Master was angry was the least of the problems. If he couldn't bring the water back to him, he wouldn't be able to get the Sui Hou Pearl back.

The second option is to pour out another bowl of water from the white jade bottle, but the consequences are unknown.

Wan Chaochun was now full of surprise, and seemed to have noticed Li Xiu's hesitation, so he said, "You don't have to worry about that Xiao Ba. With me here, he won't dare to touch a hair on your head."

Li Xiu shook his head, stretched out his hand to grasp the white jade bottle, and slowly picked up the bottle. The three flowers in the bottle became more and more beautiful under the nourishment of three bowls of water, and each petal was as crystal clear as jade.

Without hesitation, Li Xiu tilted the bottle, and the poured water quickly filled the red jade bowl.

Li Xiu raised the white jade bottle, put his mouth to the mouth of the bottle, and drank the water that flowed out of it mouthful by mouthful.

As soon as the water entered my stomach, I felt a warm current flowing into my stomach, and then quickly spread to my whole body. Soon my whole body felt extremely hot, as if I had just stepped from a cold water pool into a hot water pool. Goose bumps instantly appeared all over my body, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Li Xiu was sweating all over and his body was getting hotter and hotter, but although it was hot, it was not scalding.

For some reason, Li Xiu felt more and more sleepy. Soon he closed his eyes and fell down.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiu woke up and felt relaxed all over, as if he had worked for three days and three nights and had a good sleep. His body felt indescribably comfortable, as if every cell in it was alive.

When I opened my eyes, what caught my eye was Wan Chaochun's beautiful face, which showed both anger and joy.

Only then did Li Xiu realize that he was sleeping on Wan Chaochun's embroidered couch. Wan Chaochun was lying on his side beside him, with one arm supporting his cheek and the other hand holding a small round gauze fan, which he gently fanned at Li Xiu from time to time.

"Brother, you finally woke up." Seeing Li Xiu waking up, Wan Chaochun said with a smile on his face.

"How long have I slept?" Li Xiu stretched and sat up from the bed and asked.

"It's just two or three hours." Wan Chaochun said.

"Such a short time?" Li Xiu frowned slightly. This was much shorter than he thought.

He got out of bed and looked at the low table in front of him. The three bowls and the white jade vase were still there, but the three black, red and white flowers were gone.

Two of the three bowls were still empty, and only the red jade bowl was full of water.

"Where are the flowers?" Li Xiu looked at Wan Chaochun and asked.

"They disappeared. After you drank the water in the white jade bottle, the three flowers withered and decomposed." Wan Chaochun replied.

Li Xiu quickly checked his body and was surprised to find that he had been promoted to a C-level trialist without knowing when.

Li Xiu: Trialist.

Grade: C.

Quality: Aurora.

Original embryo quality: 4.1.

Symbiotic Contract: Evil Spirit Card (C-Rank), Forbidden Gun (C-Rank).

Innate skills: Twins in one body (evil spirit transformation), Seven Taboos of Not Killing, Seven Taboos of Immortality, Seven Taboos of Uncertainty, Ultimate Light.

There is no change in the talent of Ultimate Light, the skill suffix of the Evil Spirit card is changed from Twin Transformation to Evil Spirit Transformation, and only Forbidden Spear has an additional talent skill.

After Li Xiu saw it, he picked up the red jade bowl on the low table and said to Wan Chaochun, "Sister Chun, I will take the water to Master Ba first."

"You are my, Wan Chaochun's younger brother now. You are not allowed to call him Master Ba anymore. Just call him Little Ba." Wan Chaochun said.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Li Xiu said.

"Tell him that I have acknowledged you as my younger brother, and see if he dares to respond to you as the Eighth Master." Wan Chaochun said lightly.

"Then I'll call him Lao Ba from now on." Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.

"That's fine." Wan Chaochun said with a smile, "I don't even know your name, brother?"

"My name is Li Xiu, Muzi Li, which means "cultivating one's body and mind." Li Xiu replied.

"Xiao Xiu, you go first. After I am out of trouble, you and I will swear an oath of blood. I, Wan Chaochun, will recognize you as my younger brother." Wan Chaochun said.

"Okay." Li Xiu responded and left the red wooden house holding the red jade bowl.

The wooden door that had refused to open no matter how hard he pushed it before now opened easily. After Li Xiu walked out, the wooden door closed again by itself.

When Chu Jun saw Li Xiu coming out, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Li Xiu shook his head and walked towards the door of Master Ba's wooden house with the red jade bowl.

"You changed the water back!" When Mr. Ba saw Li Xiu coming in with a bowl of water, he was surprised and happy.

"Eighth Master, do you know who is in that red wooden house?" Li Xiu asked while holding the bowl without putting the water down.

"I don't know. When I came here, the man was already in the red wooden house, but I had never seen him. The owner of this place told me everything that happened in the red and blue wooden house." Mr. Ba shook his head.

Li Xiu nodded, said nothing, placed the red jade bowl in front of Lao Ba, then turned and walked out of the wooden house: "I will go to the blue wooden house to exchange the leaves you want."

Li Xiu said as he picked up another box of blue gems and walked towards the blue wooden house.

"Be careful." Master Ba warned in the house.

Li Xiu pushed open the door of the blue wooden house and saw that the inside was completely different from the red wooden house.

There was no furnishings in the blue wooden house, and no one was seen. There was only a big tree growing inside the house. The tree was so thick that three people could hug it, and it supported the roof like a giant pillar.

The top of the tree seemed to have been cut off in half. Only the trunk of the tree could be seen, but not the crown.

On top of such a big tree, there is only a thin branch one foot long with a green leaf hanging on it.

The tree trunk was gray and dry, and looked as if it had been dead for many years, with the bark cracked in many places.

But the green leaves are lush and full of vitality.

Li Xiu walked straight into the house and the door closed by itself.

"Is anyone there?" Li Xiu shouted, but no one answered him. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"This is strange. Didn't Lao Ba say that there was someone in this house? How come there is no one here? Could it be that the hostess here lied to Lao Ba?" Li Xiu walked around the big tree, but didn't see anything except the green leaves on the small branches.

Looking closely at the green leaf, I discovered that there was a faint white pattern on it, and that white pattern was actually the word "Ling".

"There's not even a person around, how can I exchange the leaves? Can I just put down the gem, take the green leaves and leave?" Li Xiu felt that things shouldn't be that simple.

"The word 'Ling' on the leaf should have been left by the hostess here. What does it mean that she left the word 'Ling' on the leaf?" Li Xiu frowned and thought.

After thinking for a long time without any solution, Li Xiu put the gem on the ground and said, "I will exchange the gem for the green leaf. If there is no problem, I will take it myself."

After asking three times and still no one answered, Li Xiu reached out to pick the green leaves from the tree.

He carefully pinched the petiole of the green leaf and tried hard to pick off the palm-sized oval leaf.

But after applying force continuously, the branches were pulled down by Li Xiu, but the petioles showed no sign of breaking.

Li Xiu's mind moved, and he summoned the Jedi Knight.

The Jedi swung his sword at the petiole, controlling the blade very precisely. He only wanted to chop off the leaf and had no intention of damaging anything else.

However, the Jedi Knight's sword failed to cut the seemingly soft petiole, leaving no scar at all.

After the twigs and green leaves swayed for a while, they became quiet again.

"What a tough branch!" Li Xiu frowned slightly, and with a thought, the Jedi Knight entered a super spiritual state.

In a moment, the Jedi Knight turned into a monster-like dual-blade warrior whose whole body was covered with a shell and emitted a strong fluorescent light.

The Jedi Knight slashed with both swords. The samurai swords with strong red fluorescence slashed on the petioles again and again, making the green leaves and twigs tremble, but failed to leave any scars on them.

Li Xiu was extremely shocked. Although the upper limit of a Jedi Knight's super spirit was only 1%, that was still the power of a super spirit after all, and it was countless times stronger than an ordinary S-level magic spirit. He couldn't even leave a little scratch on it. This branch was too tough.

Just when Li Xiu was at a loss, an old voice suddenly sounded: "Don't chop, you are already dead."

"Who are you?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You should leave your last words as soon as possible. If someone comes later and can get out alive, maybe they can bring your last words to your family." The old voice sounded again.

After careful identification, Li Xiu discovered that the sound actually came from inside the big tree.

"Why are you saying I'm dead now? Why didn't you say anything when I came in?" Li Xiu asked while looking at the tree. He wanted to see what was on the tree and where the person who was talking was hiding.

"No need to look. I am inside this tree. There is no way in." The old voice continued, "When you came in, I didn't say anything because I felt it was unnecessary. No matter what I said, it couldn't change the fact that you were going to die. Now I tell you that you are going to die because you are running out of time. I want to leave some time for you to leave your last words."

"I don't have any last words to leave. Tell me why you think I'm dead." Li Xiu said.

"Alas, people are all the same. They always think they can change everything if they know the truth, but in the end, they die with nothing left." The old voice sighed, "This tree is called Shenling. Originally it was just an ordinary old tree, but someone wrote the word "Spirit" on its leaves, and it became a Shenling. How can a Shenling tolerate being hurt by mortals? The harm you inflict on it will eventually come back to you. Just now your demon spirit chopped it so many times, and when the time is up, all the harm will come back to you. Do you think you can survive being stabbed so many times?"

“Even if the old tree really has that kind of strange power, it was my demon spirit that chopped it down, so those powers should fall on my demon spirit.” Li Xiu said.

"Hehe, those murderers who kill people with knives, do you think it is the knife or the person who should be judged? The gods have spirits, and you can't fool them with your clever tricks." The old voice said disdainfully.

"So, I'm really about to die." Li Xiu said.

"He will definitely die." The old voice said firmly.

"You should also be trapped by the owner of this place, right? If there is a way to rescue you, why not tell me. In case I can break this situation, you can escape. If I can't break the situation, there will be no loss for you, right?" Li Xiu said, looking at the old tree.

"The same words are said over and over again, but nothing can be changed. Why waste your breath?" said the old voice.

"The people in the red wooden house said the same thing, but I still managed to get out alive. There's always a chance of something happening. Even if there isn't a chance, you've been trapped here for so long, wouldn't it be nice to have someone to talk to?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"You broke the game in the Red Room?" The old voice suddenly became a little surprised.

"I've always had good luck," Li Xiu replied.

"How did you drink the three bowls of evolution liquid in the red room?" asked the old voice.

"It turns out that the three bowls of water are called evolution liquid." Li Xiu recounted how he poured the three bowls of evolution liquid into the white jade bottle and then drank it.

"You have to give before you can gain. You did a good job. Fortunately, you left one bowl. If you drank all three bowls of evolution liquid, I'm afraid you would be dead." said the old voice.

Li Xiu didn't ask why, but just said: "Can you give me some advice on how to break the impasse in the Blue House?"

"There is something buried under the tree. You can use it to cut spiritual leaves." said the old voice.
