“Ah? Oh!”
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming stared blankly at Yang Zhen and quickly started rummaging through the pile of treasures.
Watching the two desperately searching, Yang Zhen came to Hua Youyue and comforted, “Miss, don’t worry, I think I have a little bit of Spiritual Essence Dew left. I may not have a lot, but I can provide a little bit!”
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming shivered at the same time, giving Yang Zhen a somewhat resentful look before continuing to rummage.
Damn it, we’re busting our asses rummaging through this pile and you’re over there comforting the Flower Spirit Girl. This bastard has really hit an all-time low.
Surrounding people overheard Yang Zhen’s words. For some reason, they felt a surge of hope as their eyes lit up at Yang Zhen.
Perhaps… Yang Zhen could really heal the Flower Spirit Girl’s wounded spirit roots?
Gu Langyun sneered and mocked, “What’s a bit of Spiritual Essence Dew going to do? To repair Hua Youyue’s roots, she’ll need at least a small bottle… What?
“Found it!” Ye Zhiming laughed, holding up a large jar that resembled a vat used by ordinary people to pickle vegetables, it was half a person tall!
After brushing off the seal clay, a refreshing aroma rushed out.
Everyone inhaled sharply and bit their tongues.
This… is what you mean by a little bit?
Shit!
Yang Zhen looked at the pickling jar with a strange and frustrated expression and said regretfully, “So I only filled this much? If I had known the little lady needed it, I would have filled a few more jars.”
Upon hearing this, everyone else felt like they were going to spit blood.
So, Yang Zhen treated Spiritual Essence Dew like river water? Fill another jar?
Why don’t you just go die?
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen, a mixture of amusement and helplessness in her eyes. But the corner of her mouth lifted into a beautiful smile, “There s not enough here for me to take a bath!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to stone!
Especially Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming, they looked at Hua Youyue as if they had seen a ghost, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if they didn’t recognize her.
What the hell happened?
The once pristine and aloof Flower Spirit Girl… was making jokes?
She knows how to joke?
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming exchanged looks, then turned their surprised eyes to
Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was stunned, then said with some annoyance, “Damn, do I really need to use this stuff as a bath to fix my spirit roots? This is going to be a bit troublesome!”
Thud!
Hua Youyue burst into laughter, illuminating the world around her. Everyone’s jaws dropped, gazing at Hua Youyue in mesmerized awe.
Yang Zhen snapped back to reality, gave Hua Youyue a stare, and said, “Well, Miss, you’re learning some bad habits, playing me like that?
The sneaky cat, who had been secretly reaching for the treasures, immediately withdrew its paw at the words. Without lifting its head, it murmured, “You have no idea who she’s been learning from?
Yang Zhen slapped the sneaky cat on the head and ordered, “Scram, sly kitten!
Don’t think I don’t see you sneaking around and stealing stuff. Hand over your storage necklace later, I need to check it!”
“…” The sneaky cat’s face turned serious. It stubbornly hugged its neck and refused, “No way!”
Everyone dumbfoundedly noticed there was indeed a necklace hanging around
the sneaky cat’s neck – a storage ring.
Yang Zhen smirked and turned to Hua Youyue, “What was it you were saying we needed again?”
Ye Zhiming quickly interjected, “You also need the Companion Heavenly Fire.
This item is hard to find, and clearly, you don’t have it here!
Yang Zhen made an affirmative sound and said, “I don’t actually have any Companion Heavenly Fire, just a lighter!”
Snap!
Yang Zhen snapped his fingers, and a golden flame appeared on his fingertips, burning vigorously.
“Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire!” Hua Youyue murmured, asking, “Where did you
get it from?”
“Found it!” Yang Zhen casually answered, continued amidst the dumbfounded expressions of the group, “Don’t sweat the small stuff, what was the name of the other thing, the Undying Tree?”
Gu Langyun, who had been about to speak but stopped, was now totally pale.
He broke into a hearty laugh, pointed at Yang Zhen, and said, “Idiot, it’s called the Undying Tree, not the elder tree, and although you got lucky in finding the first two, there’s no way you’ll find the Undying Tree. Not just you, but no one on this continent has ever heard about its existence. You guys looking for the Undying Tree… hehe, good luck!”
Yang Zhen made an affirmative sound, wrinkled his brow, and asked, “This one’s tricky to find. What does the Undying Tree look like, and what’s its scent? Give me a description, and I’ll go look for it.”
Hua Youyue shook her head and said, “Forget it, the Undying Tree isn t something you can find just by looking. It takes a great stroke of fate, and it can be obtained only by those who possess a great destiny.”
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, “Sounds like it’ll be a hassle. I m not educated, little missy, don’t try to deceive me, does it only need a leaf?” “Yes!” Hua Youyue said with a smile on her face. “Don’t push yourself too hard, many are in search of the Undying Tree, but it’s extremely elusive.” Yang Zhen nodded, turned around and started to walk away, “Whether it can be found or not, I have to look for it. Wait for me here.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen kicked a thief cat still stealing things and scolded, “Quit playing, get to work and help me find the Undying Tree.
The thief cat made a strange cry, picked up something like a terra cotta pot, and threw it at Yang Zhen, discontentedly saying, “Kid, stop pretending! If I hadn’t sensed the life-breath of the Undying Tree’s leaf on you, I would have believed your nonsense.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and they all stared at Yang Zhen with incredulity.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming rushed in front of Yang Zhen and stared at him intently, “You really have a leaf from the Undying Tree?”
“No!” Yang Zhen said, looking rather strangely at Gu Langyun who was eagerly observing him.
Then, Yang Zhen caught the thief cat and held him up, angrily saying, “Damn cat, you better clarify, when did you sense the life-breath of a leaf of the Undying Tree on me… Darn it! Do I really have one?”
The thief cat rolled its eyes, said grumpily, “Whether you have one or not, why ask me?”
Yang Zhen, stunned, tossed the thief cat to the ground, seeming a bit uncertain.
Damn! If the thief cat didn’t get it wrong, Yang Zhen indeed carries such a thing.
That was the immense life force that erupted when, on Wanhua Island, Yang Zhen decided to keep a low profile and learn blacksmithing from the great master. Unexpectedly, he gleaned the Chaotic Cyclone Hammer Technique, which led to the occurrence.
That was…something that had erupted from the small tree sprout in Yang Zhen’s mind.
Ever since then, the little sprout inside Yang Zhen’s mind had suddenly begun to grow, resulting in one, two, three, four… ten leaves so far!
Could this small sprout be the Undying Tree?
The same legendary tree whose singular leaf could resurrect the dead?
Damn, Yang Zhen started to feel overwhelmed.
After sorting out this information, Yang Zhen turned to Hua Youyue and asked, “Little missy, how many leaves do you need? Or do you want me to fetch you a twig?”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan almost fell over, and Gu Langyun, with steam blowing out of his nose, pointed at Yang Zhen and yelled, “Are you here to make us laugh?”
They would wantonly fight for just one leaf, which could inevitably lead to turmoil all over Wanhua Island.
This was the Undying Tree! The legendary tree that only one existed per generation, you think this tree grows like regular willows?
And a twig from that tree, why don’t you just bring us the whole tree?
You can’t make things up like this.
Everyone was nearly collapsing. However, Hua Youyue seemed more composed than ever and seemed to be completely indifferent to what Yang Zhen had said.. But her hands couldn’t help clenching, and her voice slightly trembling as she said, “One leaf is enough!”
