Wu Chen looked at the stall owner with eyes full of doubt.
"What on earth is this sacred tree of yours?"
Xu Dahai smiled mysteriously, "Since it is a family heirloom, I cannot reveal it, but I can guarantee that the effect of the tree is first-class!"
After hearing this, Wu Chen was almost certain that this person was a liar.
But Guizhi believed the embellished words of this liar.
She looked at Wu Chen pleadingly and said in a voice transmission, "I just happen to have a hundred high-grade spirit crystals. I'd like to ask this fellow Taoist to help me once!"
Wu Chen's eyes were full of helplessness, "Guizhi, don't you believe me?"
"I know you're doing this for my own good, but... what if?"
Guizhi's expression was full of determination, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I won't give up!"
"Well, it seems that without this lesson, you won't learn your lesson. But the king is far away in the clan. Even if I spend a hundred high-quality spirit crystals to ask him to help, it's still too far away to do anything."
"This is easy to handle. Just invite him back to the Treeman Kingdom, isn't it?"
Guizhi winked at him and said, "If he dares to cheat me when we return to the clan, it will be easy to deal with him."
Wu Chen was stunned, this was a good idea.
If he really was a liar, at least the loss of millions of spirit crystals could have been avoided.
If he doesn't dare to go back to the Treeman Kingdom with them, this would be a good opportunity to dissuade Guizhi from her thoughts.
Wu Chen made up his mind and spoke to the stall owner.
"We are indeed interested in your sacred tree. I would like to ask you to come back with us to the Kingdom of Treemen to treat the wounds of our king. Are you willing?"
"Returning to the Kingdom of Treemen? Of course you can, but you have to pay more."
"Xu Dahai" pretended to be profound and nodded slightly.
"Increase the price?"
Wu Chen frowned, "How much?"
"It will take quite some time to go back and forth to the Treeman Kingdom, so I will just take 200 high-quality spirit crystals from you."
"What, so expensive? Why don't you just go and rob it!"
Wu Chen almost pointed at his nose and cursed.
Guizhi quickly comforted him, "It does take quite a while to travel from Xiji City to the Treeman Kingdom. It's understandable that he wants to collect more spirit crystals."
"Did he take a few extra spirit crystals?"
Guizhi tilted her head and thought for a while, then transmitted the message.
"Anyway, he is going back to the Treeman Kingdom with us. If he can't cure the king, I won't give him even one, let alone two hundred high-grade spirit crystals."
The anger in Wu Chen's heart miraculously subsided.
He understood that this deceitful monk was probably afraid of being exposed and was unwilling to go back to the Treeman Kingdom with them, so he deliberately asked for a high price in order to scare him away.
Fortunately, Guizhi was here, otherwise he would have succeeded!
Wu Chen smiled and said, "I want two hundred high-grade spirit crystals, that's fine, but the king of my clan is a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Can your ancestral sacred tree heal his injuries?"
A cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage
Xu Dahai thought for a moment and said, "You can give it a try, but I can't guarantee how long it will take for your clan king to recover."
Wu Chen sneered in his heart, what he said really sounded like it was the case.
"Okay, pack up and go back to the Treeman Kingdom with us now."
Xu Dahai looked a little hesitant. "But when I entered the city earlier, I heard that the Meng family had issued a ban that all cultivators in Xiji City were not allowed to rashly leave the human territory."
Seeing his hesitation, Wu Chen became more convinced of his guess.
"It is true. The Meng family has deliberately closed down Xiji City in order to arrest a female cultivator. However, this matter has nothing to do with our Tree People. You just need to follow us two."
"Xu Dahai" nodded and said reluctantly.
"In that case, I will go with you two. I don't have anything to pack, so let's go if you want."
Wu Chen and Guizhi exchanged glances, and then they led him towards the west city gate.
Wang Tianhu couldn't help but get excited, "I didn't expect it would actually work, haha!
But after we leave the city gate, do you really want to follow these two tree people back to the tree people kingdom to treat their so-called king?"
Xu Chunniang transmitted the message, "The thousands of miles of territory west of Xiji City are all under the control of the Tree People. I have nowhere to run even if I want to. I can only go with them to meet the king."
"Although you have some understanding of the laws of life, your cultivation is too low. The other party is a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Can you really help him?"
It’s not that Wang Tianhu doubted Xu Chunniang’s strength, it’s just that the gap between their cultivation levels is too big.
"I don't know. Let's just take it one step at a time. We're almost at the city gate, so let's not talk about it for now."
As Xu Chunniang spoke, she quietly refined her spirit and soul, changing her breath without making a sound.
"Xu Dahai" followed the two tree people and attracted the attention of many cultivators.
"Isn't this the new swindler in the city? How did he get involved with the tree people? It looks like he's going to leave the city with the tree people and return to the Kingdom of the Tree People."
"I don't know. Could it be that these two Treeman cultivators were fooled by him?"
"The tree man is honest and kind, and he has probably deceived me."
Wu Chen and Gui Zhi ignored the discussions of the human cultivators and led "Xu Dahai" to the west city gate.
The guards guarding the city smiled friendly at the sight of the two tree people, Wu Chen and Gui Zhi.
When he was about to let them go, he learned that they were going to bring a human cultivator back to the Treeman Kingdom, and he suddenly hesitated.
The guard commander took a look at "Xu Dahai" and was a little undecided as to whether he should let him go.
After all, the ban issued by the Meng family prohibits everyone from leaving the human territory from Xiji City.
Guizhi was a little unhappy, "The one I want to take away is not the cultivator you are chasing, why are you stopping him
This man is called Xu Dahai. I brought him back to treat the king of my clan. Please don't block his way or else the king's condition will be delayed."
The guard commander was in a difficult position. He also felt that the Meng family's ban was a bit excessive.
But their influence is insignificant and they have no say in the matter.
"Please be patient, both of you. I will report this matter to the city lord and wait for his decision."
Guizhi was somewhat dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do but wait for him to ask the city lord for instructions.
The mayor of Xiji City is a great monk in the late stage of fusion. After receiving the message, his eyes showed a solemn look.
"You mean, those two tree people took a fancy to the sacred tree on him? That sacred tree contains both the law of healing and the law of life?"
If he remembered correctly, the cultivator that the Meng family was hunting had comprehended the law of life and death.
"This man's name is Xu Dahai. He has been setting up a stall in the city for several days. He is most likely a liar. The so-called ancestral sacred tree is most likely a gimmick."
The guard commander hesitated for a moment and then told the rumors he had heard in the past few days.
“I guess these two tree people were also deceived by him.”
"I see."
The Lord of Xiji City pondered for a moment and made up his mind.
"Please check his identity token. I will personally check his soul in a moment. If the soul in the identity token is correct, I will let him go."
