<<Start of Arc 13: Wild Beast Plains>>

After multiple planting attempts, Xiaolu Peak had transformed into a verdant landscape filled with lush greenery and vibrant vegetation. While it lacked blossoming flowers, it exuded a picturesque, flourishing scene.

A bit below the peak, a spacious flat area stretched out, partially shaded by some dense trees on either side. Half-concealed within this tranquil setting was a cave entrance.

At the cave’s entrance, a young man dressed in green robes could be seen. His countenance was strikingly handsome, adorned with a warm and friendly smile. His gentle and amiable gaze had a way of making people feel at ease upon first sight. However, at this moment, he sat cross-legged on a patch of dry earth, carefully inspecting an object cradled in his palm.

It had been more than half a month since the events at Ruyi Xianzhuang, and during this time, Xu Ziqing had been instructed by his senior brother to tend to his wounds and refrain from excessive activity. However, he couldn’t bear the thought of being cooped up in the cave all day long. As his condition improved, he began to venture outside the cave each day to bask in the warm sunlight. The object he held in his hand was a Sacred Immortal Tree seed.

This sacred tree seed was no longer than a finger’s joint, with a shape reminiscent of an apricot pit, resembling the alluring eyes of a beautiful woman. Its lustrous, jade-like appearance was truly captivating.

Placing a single seed in the palm would instantly convey the tremendous power of Yang wood within, a power that was not fiery but rather upright and exceptionally harmonious. Breathing in its essence made one feel warmed without a sense of urgency. As Xu Ziqing examined the Sacred Immortal Tree Seed, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat perplexed.

Naturally, he harbored some desire for the sacred tree in Ruyi Xianzhuang, which bore such rare and precious Immortal Fruits. Obtaining a seed like this, he naturally assumed he could try to cultivate it.

Initially, he had hoped that the “Ten Thousand Woods Great Heart Planting Technique” from his legendary exercise would be effective, but to his surprise, this technique had no effect. Frustrated, he sighed.

Three days prior, Xu Ziqing had made an attempt to plant the divine tree seed. Just as he had with other plant seeds in the past, he had selected an empty spot, carefully buried a plump tree seed, covered it with soil, and then activated it with “The Art of Transformation of All Things.”

All three steps proceeded quite smoothly, and the true essence was absorbed by the Shenmu seed. A connection formed between him and the seed. However, what he didn’t anticipate was that the Shenmu seed immediately began to voraciously absorb the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth.

In a matter of mere moments, a substantial vortex of spiritual energy formed in the air, funneling toward the divine tree seed. Simultaneously, the spiritual veins beneath the ground began to tremble intensely, nearly depleting half of the spiritual energy within the blink of an eye.

This tremor within the spiritual veins caused Xiaolu Peak to shake, rousing Yun Lie from his meditative state at the summit.

Startled, Xu Ziqing acted swiftly, retrieving the divine tree seed from the ground to halt the trembling of Xiaolu Peak. The magnitude of this shock left him hesitant to take further actions.

As he contemplated this, he noticed a person descending from the peak with a measured gait. It was his senior brother, Yun Lie.

Seeing the faint hint of trouble on Xu Ziqing’s face, Yun Lie smiled slightly and called out, “Ziqing.”

Xu Ziqing raised his head with a warm smile in his eyes and asked, “Shixiong, have you finished your practice for today?”

Yun Lie nodded, glancing at the Shenmu seed in Xu Ziqing’s hand. He inquired, “What are you up to?”

Xu Ziqing raised the sacred seed, expressed his dilemma, and said, “Right now, it feels like I’ve got a treasure, but I can’t find a way to use it. I’m not sure what to do.”

Yun Lie walked over, sat cross-legged in front of Xu Ziqing, accepted the sacred seed, and began examining it closely.

Observing his senior brother’s deep concentration, Xu Ziqing thought his senior had a wealth of experience and asked, “What do you think?”

Yun Lie didn’t utter a word; instead, he placed the sacred seed in his mouth.

Xu Ziqing was shocked, exclaiming, “Senior brother, what are you doing?” In a bid to protect his senior brother, he reached out to retrieve the seed, fearing for his well-being.

However, Yun Lie’s movements were swifter than Xu Ziqing’s, and even in his best health, he couldn’t compete. With his lingering internal injuries, he fumbled in his attempt, and Yun Lie had to intervene to prevent him from falling.

Yun Lie reached out to support Xu Ziqing and injected a bit of his own true energy into him. He recognized the gravity of the situation and furrowed his brow slightly. “Don’t move,” he advised.

Struggling to contain the pain, Xu Ziqing refrained from moving. He said, “This posture is rather undignified; please help me sit up, senior brother.”

Yun Lie didn’t show any embarrassment, nor did he push Xu Ziqing away. In his usual decisive manner, he picked up Xu Ziqing, cradling him like a child, and let him rest on his shoulder.

In an instant, Xu Ziqing’s face flushed with embarrassment. He couldn’t help but call out, “Shi, Shixiong?”

Yun Lie remained in this position, unperturbed, and continued to gaze at the sacred seed. “You should rest and recuperate in bed. Don’t worry about appearances.”
