Just as Ji Yuan had expected, Zuo Wuji and others are now in the breakthrough stage and are unable to fully control the changes in their bodies. Their strong qi and blood and great luck certainly cannot escape the attention of the masters of Tianyu Continent.
For other immortal practitioners, they are not clear about the so-called path of martial arts. What they can clearly see is the extraordinary talents of these warriors. Naturally, they want to recruit them as their disciples and pass on their good fortune to them.
But I didn’t expect that these people really didn’t want to become immortals. I was stunned and could only sigh what a pity.
…
A few days later, Ji Yuan was flying alone over the vast ocean. When he saw an island, he fell from the sky and stood on the rocks on the shore.
The scene was calm all around. Ji Yuan flicked his sleeves, and Niu Batian, Lu Shanjun, Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu all flew out from his sleeves.
"We are finally out. Old Niu, I was afraid that you would forget about us, Mr. Ji!"
Niu Batian spoke with a chuckle, showing no sign of nervousness at all, while Lu Shanjun also smiled and saluted Ji Yuan, bowing with a respectful and meticulous gesture, while speaking calmly.
"Thank you Mr. Ji for not killing me. I am Lu Wu, and Brother Niu and the others are all good friends. I will spare no effort to help you this time."
Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu also hurriedly followed suit to pay their respects, but Niu Batian and Lu Wu, the two monsters, were able to remain calm in such a situation, but they couldn't. Especially Lu Wu, it was his first time to see Mr. Ji and witness the same horrific scene before, but he managed to remain calm and collected.
Ji Yuan nodded to Lu Shanjun and then spoke.
"No need to be so polite, everyone. You have made great contributions to this victory, and it can be regarded as paying off some of the sins you have committed before. Do you have anything to say?"
Shi Jiu opened his mouth and wanted to remind Ji Yuan not to forget to speak for him in front of his master and grandmaster, but he felt that Mr. Ji would definitely not forget, and it would be awkward to remind him, so he said nothing.
"Hahaha, Mr. Ji's decision not to kill me is the greatest blessing. I have turned over a new leaf!"
Niu Batian said this with a big laugh, but Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu didn't quite believe what Lao Niu said. Lu Shanjun on the side smiled and bowed again.
"Mr. Ji is a great man. It is a blessing to admire his grace and elegance!"
Looking at the performance of Niu Batian and Lu Wu, Ji Yuan didn't say anything. After scanning Shi Jiu, he finally set his sights on Wang Youhong.
"What do you want to say?"
Wang Youhong hesitated for a moment, but still asked carefully.
"Mr. Ji, can you return the peach branch to me? I have been refining the peach branch for a long time. It is closely related to me, like a fractal body. It was because of this that I was able to deceive Mr. Ji once..."
Ji Yuan smiled and took out a peach branch directly from his sleeve. The peach blossoms on the branch were still gorgeous and charming.
"Buzz..."
The Green Ivy Sword rang softly, and the sword's permeating power made those around them feel a chill, especially Wang Youhong. She felt her entire body go numb and her hair stand on end. She could even feel the immortal sword hanging beside her.
But the next moment? All the sword intent disappeared, as if it was all an illusion.
Ji Yuan took the peach branch and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Wang Youhong.
"Where did this peach branch come from? What is its relationship with you? Can you explain it to me?"
Wang Youhong was delighted at first, then she carefully took the peach branch, and then she told him her story while breathing a sigh of relief.
"To answer your question, sir? Wang Youhong was originally a peach tree in a deserted city, growing beside a withered blood-red old peach tree. I don't know when it started, but my sense of the outside world became clearer and clearer. When I condensed the spirit, I found that those withered old peaches had actually begun to sprout new branches. I don't know why, but they were extremely tempting to me. I naturally took their essence to practice. This peach branch was grown by me using the method of refining instruments from the origin peach tree..."
Lao Niu and Lu Shanjun understood that it turned out that Wang Youhong was the spirit condensed from the peach tree and then cultivated into his true body. No wonder they couldn't see what this guy's true body was. It can also be said that his normal state is his true body, and the peach tree in the deserted city is also his true body.
Ji Yuan frowned slightly.
"Bloody Old Peach, can you take me to have a look?"
Wang Youhong looked a little nervous and answered cautiously.
"That... I have sucked all the essence out of those old peach trees, and they have long since turned into rotten wood. Otherwise, I, Wang, would not have been able to cultivate the Tao as a plant spirit in just a few hundred years and have reached such an advanced level. That is why I named myself Youhong... If you want to see it, I will go back and fetch a few old peaches for you."
Absorbed
It is understandable that Wang Youhong does not want to reveal her true identity, but Ji Yuan frowned after hearing about the old peach tree and asked a question after a long time.
"What do you think?"
Wang Youhong subconsciously looked at the others. Niu Batian and Lu Shanjun looked at each other, feeling that Ji Yuan was not asking them, and Shi Jiu felt the same, so no one spoke.
At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came out from Ji Yuan's sleeve.
"Let him give me a drop of blood."
"Who's talking?"
Wang Youhong asked carefully, appearing a little nervous, while Ji Yuan had already taken out the Xiezhi scroll from his sleeve and looked at Wang Youhong.
"Force a drop of blood to drip onto the painting. It doesn't have to be blood, any drop will do."
Now, Wang Youhong dared not disobey Ji Yuan's request as long as it was not too life-threatening, so she stretched out her index finger and forced out a drop of blood, which dripped onto the scroll. At this time, the strange monster on the scroll moved, opened its mouth to catch the blood, and smacked its lips to taste it.
"Well, it tastes okay, nothing serious."
There was no fluctuation in Xiezhi's voice. Ji Yuan nodded and put away the scroll.
"Then you can go get one and come to me. If there is nothing else to do today, we will say goodbye and meet again someday if we are lucky enough."
"Yes!" "Farewell, Mr. Ji!"
Regardless of their respective states, the four people would all salute in unison and say farewell. After Ji Yuan returned the salute, mist appeared under his feet and he left on a cloud.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when they could no longer sense Ji Yuan's escape light.
"I didn't expect that you, Old Wang, are really the spirit of plants and trees. Uh, are you male or female?"
Lao Niu asked this question for no reason, which made Wang Youhong suddenly feel a chill on her back and a tingling on her scalp.
"What do you mean?"
"Uh, there's nothing special about it. I'm just asking..."
Niu Batian scratched his head. Is there anything wrong with what he said? I heard that when the essence of plants and trees condensed into spirits, there was no gender difference. The gender was determined by one's own choice. Old Niu was still very curious about this.
However, Wang Youhong avoided Lao Niu like the plague.
"Of course I'm a man. How do I look like a woman?"
Lao Niu grinned and looked Wang Youhong up and down, thinking that you don't look very manly inside and out, even your name is the same. But he didn't want to provoke her at this moment, so he chose to keep silent.
Because of this, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed. Shi Jiu looked at Lu Shanjun with a smile.
"Lu Wu, it's rare that you can be so calm when you meet Mr. Ji for the first time."
Lu Shanjun had a murderous look in his eyes, but answered with a smile.
"Mr. Ji didn't cast any forbidden spells on me, and he really spared my life. I naturally felt a lot more relaxed about Bill and the others."
These words made the expressions of several people stiffen. After that, they had a brief discussion with each other and decided to act together for the time being. They soon left the island.
Ji Yuan was flying high on the clouds alone, and his sight was the intersection of the vast ocean and the sky. At this moment, Ji Yuan suddenly asked another question.
"Xiezhi, what exactly happened to Wang Youhong?"
It is very likely that Xiezhi had some reservations before, but when the accountant asked, the answer was indeed different.
"Hehe, Ji Yuan, the withered blood peach this person mentioned should be one of the peach trees in the sky in ancient times. It should have brought life when alive, but it is full of death after death. This man surnamed Wang can be regarded as the continuation of this old peach. To put it bluntly, he was born by this old peach with all his efforts, but he himself doesn't know it yet."
Ji Yuan understood what Xiezhi was referring to, but then Xiezhi said again.
"First it was the kid from the Li family, and now we've discovered this peach tree spirit named Wang. I can only say that it's time. Well, Ji Yuan, this is somewhat similar to some of the ideas you were tinkering with in the underworld."
"Reincarnation?"
Ji Yuan said lightly, which seemed like a question, but the tone was more like an affirmation, and then he murmured.
"Isn't this a huge gamble?"
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, Xiezhi did not respond. It was not until a long while later that his voice was heard again from Ji Yuan's sleeve.
"In fact, they are all poor people, they just don't want to miss it..."
Ji Yuan looked down at his cuffs and suddenly asked.
"So I gave you all the food?"
"Hahaha, that would be great! But can you do it?"
Ji Yuan twitched his lips and replied indifferently.
"Won't."
"You fucking ..."
Only three words were uttered by Xiezhi before the rest was completely sealed inside his sleeve, and no sound could be heard.
It was also at this time that Ji Yuan's mind moved and he felt something. He immediately calculated with his fingers and immediately understood the source of the feeling. Yunzhou in the East was hanging in the south, and Ying Ruoli was about to transform into a dragon. At this moment, the other party seemed to be looking forward to his return, which also aroused Ji Yuan's heart.
