The twigs trembled, full of resistance, carefully protecting the nine green leaves.
Xu Chunniang pretended to pick some leaves and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'm very quick. Pick a few leaves and try them."
The little branch panicked, dodging and emitting a weak divine thought, "Aiya... don't eat me!"
Xu Chunniang curled her lips slightly. This small branch really had intelligence.
But it seems that its intelligence has just been born and is still very weak.
"Your seven leaves grew after you ate the dragon vein essence I gave you. It's not too much for me to pick three or five of them."
Little Branch almost cried. He just said he only wanted two pieces, why did he want three or five pieces now
"The leaves are for healing. Eating them is useless. Picking them off will only be a waste..."
Xu Chunniang touched her chin and looked disappointed.
"So you are so useless. Then spit out the essence you just ate and give it back to me."
Little Branch was confused. How could he spit out what he had eaten
And wasn’t it she who fed it with the dragon vein essence
"The origin is good for you to eat, but since you eat my food, you have to give me something in return, right?"
Xu Chunniang's eyes flashed with cunning, "If you have nothing to offer in return, then I will reluctantly refine you into my life-defining magic weapon."
The twigs are of extremely high quality and have very strong healing abilities, but the only drawback is that they are difficult to mobilize.
Since she formed the elixir, Xu Chunniang has never had a magical weapon.
Later, after witnessing the miraculous healing ability of the small branch, she became interested in refining it into her own magical weapon.
But because Xiao Shuzhi was very aloof and always ignored her, she gave up.
But now that the small branch has swallowed so much dragon vein essence, it is not too much for her to ask for some benefits, right
Xu Chunniang curled her lips slightly and said in a gentle and persuasive manner.
“By becoming my life-defining magical weapon, you will be able to continue to stay in my Dantian and absorb the innate purple energy.
If you don't want to, I will have no choice but to pluck all nine of your leaves and throw you out of my dantian."
The twig trembled all over, and sent out a thought with a wronged tone.
"Don't pull out my leaves. I'm willing to... but I'm still very weak now and can't consume them often."
Xu Chunniang coughed dryly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with bullying the newfound intelligence of the small twig, and nodded and asked in a serious tone.
"Okay, how long will it take you to recover?"
The twig pointed to the origin of the dragon vein, revealing a hint of desire.
"I need to eat a lot more of this kind of stuff. Once I recover, I'll be awesome!"
Xu Chunniang pushed the small branch away expressionlessly. She only had this little dragon vein essence, and she couldn't create this bottomless pit.
The small branch that was pushed aside felt a little lost, but soon cheered up again and pointed to the mountain and river map, the soul-fixing mirror and other objects not far away.
"I am more powerful than them. Once I become my life-defining magical weapon, they will not be able to compete with me for the purple energy."
"Can."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, and her spiritual consciousness went towards the small branch.
The small branch is a spiritual treasure from heaven and earth, and its grade is higher than that of a fourth-grade treasure. The process of refining it is very slow.
Fortunately, the twigs were very cooperative, which saved Xu Chunniang a lot of effort.
Even so, it took more than three months to completely refine the twig.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, raised her palm lightly, and a small green and crystal branch suddenly appeared in her palm.
The nine emerald green leaves on the small branch are shining and look very extraordinary.
After completely refining the twig, Xu Chunniang had a deeper understanding of its abilities.
The small branches represent vitality, have the power of growth and healing, and have the effects of purification and refining.
She wanted to try out the twig's ability to grow new things, so she held the twig in her hand and gently waved it downwards.
Then we saw that the hundreds of miles of barren plains below soon turned from yellow to green, and large green sprouts broke through the soil, bringing vitality to this barren land.
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully that the growth-promoting effect of the small branches could be used to produce some rare and precious medicinal herbs.
As for the effects of purification and refining, I will try it again when I have the chance.
Putting away the twigs, Xu Chunniang focused her attention on the origin of the dragon vein and tried to absorb it.
Before, the small branch absorbed a quarter of the dragon vein's essence in just a few strokes, and she thought she could refine it easily.
Unexpectedly, when it was her turn, as soon as she inhaled a little, she felt dizzy and as if she was in a dream.
At the same time, the fourth level of Nascent Soul cultivation in her body began to loosen.
Xu Chunniang hurriedly stopped refining the dragon vein's essence. After a long time, the feeling of confusion gradually disappeared.
We are about to leave the Western Regions. This small amount of dragon vein origin may not seem like much, but it will take a lot of time to completely refine it.
It is better to wait until I return to the sect and have some free time to refine it.
A few days later, the Nine Peaks of the Xiaoyao Sect's inner sect appeared in Xu Chunniang's consciousness.
The ice and snow on the mountains had melted, and the Xiaoyao Sect had now regained the verdant and vigorous appearance that she remembered.
As for the spiritual energy, it hasn't changed much compared to when she left four years ago.
Xu Chunniang was not in a hurry. It would take time for the spiritual energy to revive. After a few years, the spiritual energy would slowly increase.
Without alarming anyone, she packed up the wooden boat she used for transportation, quietly escaped into the Xiaoyao Sect, and headed straight for the main peak, heading straight for the cave where Grandmaster Sheng was in seclusion.
However, when they arrived at the cave, they found nothing. Master Sheng was not there at all.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. If Master Sheng was not in the cave, where else could he be
She took out a sound transmission talisman, sent a divine thought into it, and soon received a reply.
It turned out that these few days were the days of the small competition for outer disciples, and Grandmaster Sheng had nothing to do, so he went to preside over the small competition.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but rub her forehead. The outer sect was full of Qi training disciples. It was a waste of talent for Master Sheng, a Nascent Soul cultivator, to preside over a small competition.
However, Grandmother Sheng is a person who can't sit still, so this seems like something she could do.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and simply went towards the outer door.
Twenty years have passed since the mountain gate was reopened.
Let's take this opportunity to see how the sect's new disciples have grown.
Heading towards the outer gate, the scenery along the way seemed familiar, which made Xu Chunniang feel emotional.
The scene when she first entered the sect was still vivid in her mind. More than one hundred and forty years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, she has been to many places, and her cultivation has continued to grow, becoming a respected Yuanying Zhenjun.
But her original intention to practice well seemed to have never changed.
A burst of noise interrupted Xu Chunniang's thoughts. It turned out that she had arrived at the outer gate's small competition place without realizing it.
Xu Chunniang calmed herself down and looked towards the arena in the distance.
