Chapter 1063  : Nine Nether First Young Master’s Tree?

“Old Master... Since I had developed a conscious, I am also a living spirit in this world ah... I also wish to live for a few more years... Even though there is not much meaning living, but being alive is still living...”

Lord Holy Tree had a bleak and forlorn expression...

“So, after I understood this, I began to slowly reduce the quantity of Holy Fruits, until the current two bunches... The remaining bunches were refined into life blood essence to prolong my longevity... Then all gathered here... In preparation when my life gradually comes to an end, I can water myself in it and have that brief moment of breath when I’m at death’s door... But now, all my thousands of years of savings have turned into nothing and went to someone else...”

Lord Holy Tree pointed at that life blood essence pond bottom, which was almost visible. He really felt like crying... All these were the stocks I had been saving for thousands of years ah... Because of the arrival of you, this pestilence, I’ve used up ninety percent of it within such a short time...

“En... I see... Then you cannot be blamed for this.” Jun Mo Xie said magnanimously. Whether Misty Illusory Manor got more or less was not his business... And now, he knew that the Rainbow Holy Tree in his Hongjun Pagoda was growing normally...

That was enough. Considering the matter on a more shameless level, all the Holy Tree;s life blood essence that had been saved and stashed away by Lord Holy Tree for thousands of years was almost practically used up to save Green Hunter for him. It seemed that he was the one who had taken advantage of the Misty Illusory Manor!

If this fellow had been honestly bearing fruits normally... Then Green Hunter would really be done for this time... Thank goodness this tree played dirty ah...

“Now there is no big issue anymore. Let’s chat. How did you come here? Where were you originally from?” Jun Mo Xie was really interested about what sort of place it was to be able to produce this sort of miraculous tree. Could it be... another unique space?

“That... Back then... I had only just begun to develop a conscious. I still did not dare to speak, or even make any noise...” A gloomy look took over Lord Holy Tree’s face. “That day, a black-robed man suddenly appeared in my hometown... He walked around the forest, for some reason, he picked me... I also don’t know where is my hometown...”

“But afterward, I had learnt that that black-robed man had a mighty reputation, called the ‘Nine Nether First Young Master’!” Lord Holy Tree let out a sigh. “He did not care whether I agreed or not, simply uprooting me in a single grab without saying a single thing...”

“Uprooted you in a single grab... How big were you then?” Jun Mo Xie was a little shocked. This Holy Tree had already developed a consciousness... A tree with a consciousness... could it develop it in a short time? It would take at least two thousand years?”

A tree that had grown for two thousand years... Uprooting it in a single grab... so easily?

Jun Mo Xie pretended not to hear the part Lord Holy Tree mentioned the Nine Nether First Young Master not seeking his opinion. Which person in this world would ask a tree ‘Do you agree? when trying to replant a tree.

If there was, it was either a retard or a moron. And the Nine Nether First Young Master didn’t seem like either of the two...

“I was definitely thinner than now, and I was much skinnier... About eight people huddled together? That sort of thickness...” Lord Holy Tree said, a little embarrassed.

“Ah? A tree that is about the thickness of eight people huddled together... One person, uprooted it with a single hand? Are you for real?” Young Master Jun’s eyes were completely widened. What sort of strength is that ah? This is a little too exaggerated? magic

“Of course it’s real... he only used a single hand back then...” Lord Holy Tree let out a long sigh. “Because Lord First Young Master noticed that I grew the most upright, so he chose me from one look...”

“Um...” Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes, speechless. What sort of selection method is this, it’s too unconventional...

“Then I arrived here and put down my roots. The Nine Nether First Young Master had even personally gave me a name...” Lord Holy Tree said. “He said, you stand so straight, as if you are punished to stand still for being disobedient... From today onwards, you shall be called a tree that is punished to stand still...”

“A tree that is punished to stand still, it is really a creative name ah...” The corners of Jun Mo Xie’s mouth twitched. This Nine Nether First Young Master was still a little humorous... Which tree in this world didn’t stand? Were they all punished to stand still?

“Actually, I did not commit any offense; I had never commit any crimes before... So naturally I am not punished to stand still...” Lord Holy Tree explained innocently. “I actually also wish to lie down... But I can’t lie down ah...”

“You actually wish to lie down? Should I get you a bed ah...” The corner of Jun Mo Xie’s lips twitched again.

He was really utterly defeated... A tree also wished to lie down...

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time, I’m in a rush... The ‘power that grows all wood’ that you wish for... Should I give it to you, so you can slowly digest it, or should I directly digest it for you?” Jun Mo Xie has completely lost interest in chatting with this ‘innocent’ tree.

Lord Holy Tree clearly hesitated for a while, as if he couldn’t make up his mind on which to pick. But he still could not conceal the happiness in his eyes.

He really did not expect that someone this unreasonable would keep his promises... He was so happy he almost laughed out loud.

“If I helped you digest... You will be able to see the benefits quickly... If you are to slowly absorb it bit by bit, maybe it will be able to help you resolve a crisis when needed...”

Jun Mo Xie gave a clear explanation. “These two proposals have their own benefits. I have already given you the suggestions, as to which choice to make, it is up to you to decide.”

Lord Holy Tree considered for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying, “I... I better choose to slowly digest it myself...” To him, it was no longer a pressing matter for increasing his growth... Because he no longer had large amounts of life blood essence to support himself, so that goal he had previously has already gone up in smoke... Perhaps everything needed to restart from the beginning...

But Young Master Jun had mentioned that the second proposal can help him ‘resolve’ a huge crisis for him, which caused him to waver... The wearing down of nature and whittling away by time, or even, the terrifying lightning tribulation when he developed a human form...

So Lord Holy Tree immediately chose the second proposal. Giving himself control over the pace, digesting it slowly like this to achieve the most perfect effects. This was more beneficial in the long run.

“Alright, then I’m going to begin. You get ready to receive it.” Jun Mo Xie did not drag things out, stretching out his left palm. A green glow began to form on his palm, slowly increasing to the size of a soccer ball...

Lord Holy Tree couldn’t help but drool at the sight of that green light...

Slowly, Jun Mo Xie continued to increase the size of this ball of light to bigger than a soccer ball before coming to a stop. Then, he used the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune to coat this green ball with a milky white protective layer...

“When you want to use the Power of Wood, you only need to use a thin root to pierce through this layer and use as much as you wish. If you do not intend to use it all, then you can use spiritual qi to seal up this opening. If you carefully store it, it should be able to remain without any expiry.”

Jun Mo Xie carefully explained the way to use it.

The gains from today were not small. Jun Mo Xie naturally would not be petty. This tree may be a little cowardly, but... he was very honest. And did not play any tricks. Since he treated Jun Mo Xie in a sincere manner, Jun Mo Xie naturally would not be stingy.

“Thank you! Thank you!... I really thank you this time!” Lord Holy Tree kept that ball of green light as if it were a treasure, agitated tears filling his eyes... He had never expected the other party to give so himself so much ‘power to grow all wood’ of his own accord...

This one was much bigger than the one he had used previously to tempt him earlier. And it was also much purer, so its effects naturally were greater! This had surpassed his expectations. He originally did not harbor any hopes that the other party would keep to his promise and give him the ‘power to grow all wood’. It would be good enough if he didn’t kill him...

With this amount of Power to Grow All Wood, if he used it appropriately, he could definitely replenish all that life blood essence in a short period of time. And there was also another great benefit: that layer of Spiritual Qi surrounding the Power to Grow all Wood was a magical type of energy that the Holy Tree had never seen before. Although it was not in large quantity, it was enough to open a new door for him...

In fact, in this world, only Mei Xue Yan had the opportunity to obtain this sort of Spirit Energy aside from Young Master Jun. To the Holy Tree, although he has suffered great losses today, but the opportunity today had unimaginable impacts in his future!

But this fellow was too honest, to say that ‘I really thank you this time’, which meant he was saying that all the thanks he had given previously were all fake...

Jun Mo Xie chuckled. He did not take it to heart. With his behavior earlier, if the other party really thanked him sincerely, then that person would really be a moron or an idiot. Young Master Jun carefully kept Green Hunter’s body back into the Hongjun Pagoda and waved his hand, bidding farewell. Right now, he had more or less set his heart on speeding home now...

After gaining a great advantage, Lord Holy Tree reluctantly sent Jun Mo Xie to the door, suddenly tugging on his sleeves. He said, “Um... Old Master... Could you help me pass a message to these juniors of the Misty Illusory Manor?”

“What is it?” Jun Mo Xie turned around to look at him.

“Tell them: stop sending people to test some compatibility... Sending a person every hundred years, I’m about to lose it!” Lord Holy Tree said, as if he were really going to break down. “If they are not lacking the manpower, just let them send someone who can live for a longer time... That’s fine too...”

“Oh?”

“I may just be a tree that is punished to stand still... but I also have human emotions and feelings... And they change a person every two, three hundred years... I had just gotten familiar with the previous person; we had yet to understand each other better, then they’re changed away... This sort of feeling... is too unbearable...”

Lord Holy Tree was really at a loss. “A feeling like this was like... watching a friend leaving for a far away place suddenly, never to return... it was also like what you humans say, about the father watching his progeny die before himself... This sort of repeated torment... I really can no longer take it...”
