Xu Chunniang arranged the stones and sat down cross-legged, and in this way, a stall was born.
She said calmly, "The city is under strict control now. If we rashly go to the tree man, it will firstly attract attention, and secondly, it may not be easy to gain the trust of the tree man."
She had just paid special attention to those tree people and found that they were very interested in spiritual plants and things that promoted the growth of spiritual plants.
Setting up a small stall here may seem like a passive position, but in fact it is just like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait.
Wang Tianhu's expression became serious. "It seems to be the case. If the tree people take the initiative to find you and beg you to go to the Kingdom of Tree People, it will not arouse suspicion."
After Xu Chunniang placed the stones out, they quickly attracted some people's attention.
People who were interested in the sacred tree gathered around her stall and asked.
"What grade is your ancestral sacred tree? It has both the law of healing and the law of life. Is it really that magical?"
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly and said calmly.
"The grade of my sacred tree is not high, but the power of the law it contains is genuine. Whether it is for healing injuries, nourishing spiritual consciousness, or cultivating spiritual plants, the effect is first-class."
"Then I want to use your sacred tree. How many spirit crystals do I need?"
"My sacred tree is picky. It won't absorb any spiritual energy except from top-grade spiritual crystals. If you want the sacred tree to help, you'll need at least a hundred top-grade spiritual crystals."
"One hundred high-quality spirit crystals!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "If it were lower-grade spirit crystals, wouldn't it be worth millions?"
"What kind of sacred tree is so expensive? Just to treat injuries, it costs a million spirit crystals. It's too much. Could it be a scam?"
It is no wonder that the public is outraged. One million spirit crystals is an astronomical figure. Even for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, it would take many years to accumulate so much wealth.
A million spirit crystals are enough to buy an acquired spiritual item.
"Fellow Daoist, your fee is too high. How about this? You take out the sacred tree for us to see. If the sacred tree is really as miraculous as you say, we will be convinced."
"Yes, if they dare to charge so much, they must have something to rely on."
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the bearded male cultivator smiled naively and shook his head.
"My sacred tree is a family heirloom and cannot be shown to others easily. If you want to see the sacred tree, you only need a hundred high-quality spirit crystals."
The crowd dispersed, and before leaving, they did not forget to glance at the stall owner with contempt.
"Are you crazy about the spirit crystals? I've seen this trick of yours eight hundred years ago."
"Let's go, let's go. People who are stupid and rich won't be fooled by this."
"The rent in this area is not cheap. Let's see how long he can stay here."
Soon, all the people who had gathered in front of the stall left.
The news that a swindler had come to Xiji City spread like wildfire.
Wang Tianhu was speechless. "You scared everyone away and were thought to be a liar. How can you lure the tree man here?"
"If they really want the help of the sacred tree, they will come naturally."
Xu Chunniang was neither anxious nor annoyed. After all, her target was not the human cultivators from the beginning.
The news spread and it was actually in her favor.
Within just a few days, all the cultivators in the entire Xiji City had heard about the "sacred tree".
Even the tree people heard about this.
“Wu Chen, have you heard that there is a new cultivator in the city who possesses a sacred tree? It is said that this sacred tree possesses the laws of healing and life, and is very magical.”
Wu Chen shook his head. "Guizhi, you just came to Xiji City, you don't know much yet. Cultivators like to exaggerate. This sacred tree is probably fake, and that cultivator is also a liar."
Guizhi frowned in confusion, "Is it fake? Why would he do this?"
"Of course, they did it to defraud the spirit crystals. The cunningness of human cultivators is far beyond our imagination. If you stay in this Xiji City for a long time, you will naturally know."
Wu Chen paused and continued.
"I have seen that man from afar. He claimed that the sacred tree in his hand had infinite magical powers, but no one knew what his sacred tree was."
Guizhi blinked, "Since no one has ever seen the sacred tree in his hand, then he can't be considered a liar, right?"
Wu Chen was stunned, not knowing how to refute her.
Guizhi was excited, "If that's the case, maybe the sacred tree really exists?"
Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "What you said does make some sense, but based on my understanding of the human race, he is probably just being mysterious."
"But my king's illness means there's no time for that, right?"
Guizhi's eyes revealed a trace of sadness, "There are many people in my tree people clan who have comprehended the laws of life, but I can't save my own people!"
Thinking of the king's illness, Wu Chen fell silent for a rare moment.
After a long time, he said, "Your Majesty is a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and this was originally his fate.
That cultivator's cultivation is only at the initial stage of refining emptiness, not even as good as you and me, how can he help the king?"
"I know, but didn't we travel all the way to West City to seek elixirs for the king? Now that there is a glimmer of hope, how can I give it up?"
Guizhi's eyes showed a hint of stubbornness, "We were raised by the king himself, I can't just watch him wither and die."
Wu Chen sighed darkly, "Well, since you insist, I will accompany you to see what the sacred tree is.
But don't blame me for not reminding you, don't get your hopes up!"
Guizhi's expression softened a lot, "I know, I just wanted to give it a try."
Wu Chen and Gui Zhi walked towards the street, and soon they saw the deserted stall with a stone stand and a middle-aged male cultivator with a beard in the distance.
Wangtianhu stretched his neck and waited for four or five days. When he saw the two tree people finally arrived, he was immediately excited.
"Xu...Xu boy, there are tree people coming towards us!"
"I know."
Xu Chunniang sent a divine thought to Wangtianhu, but still showed no intention of opening his eyes.
It was not until the two tree men walked in front of the stall that he slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the two men.
Wu Chen felt somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that the stall owner was too rude.
Guizhi opened her eyes wide and looked at him curiously.
Does he really have a sacred tree in his hand
She asked curiously, "Can the sacred tree in your hand cure any disease?"
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, "The law of healing can heal all the pain in the world, and the law of life can fight against the power of death.
My sacred tree happens to possess the power of these two laws at the same time."
Guizhi's eyes lit up, and she felt that what he said was more credible.
Wu Chen, however, sneered, saying that most spiritual creatures in the world only contained the power of one law.
There are spiritual objects that contain the power of two laws, but they are not many, and these two powers of laws are often a pair of twin laws.
For example, spiritual objects such as the fruit of the cycle of good and evil, the yin and yang twin flowers, and the grass of life and death contain a pair of twin laws.
The Law of Healing and the Law of Life are not twin laws, so how could they appear at the same time in the same sacred tree
