"Ah!" Qu Jing made an exaggerated expression. After all, he was only a thirteen-year-old child. He had only heard the word tree demon but had never seen one.
"You mean to say that those fruit trees have become intelligent humans?"
"That should be the case." Bai Chen nodded, recalling the plot.
After Die Yixian transformed, one night when everyone was asleep, she sat alone on the spiritual fruit tree, feeling sad.
Later, there were suddenly more than a dozen children on the tree, and one of the children gave her a spiritual fruit.
I guess those children are the transformed form of the spirit fruit tree.
In this world full of spiritual energy, all things have spirits. It is actually very normal for a spiritual fruit tree that has survived for more than 10,000 years to become a spirit.
However, it is a bit hard to understand why a tree that is more than 10,000 years old, after its transformation, would look like a child that has not grown up.
In fact, this is not the case. What Bai Chen does not know is that the age at which spiritual plants transform is different.
Some spiritual plants take a thousand years to transform, some take ten thousand years to transform, and some never transform.
However, the Fairy Cloud Fruit Tree has taken thousands of years to transform. The dozen or so tree monsters in the back mountain are actually still in their childhood. They don't show up because they are afraid of being harmed by humans.
In the plot, Die Yixian couldn't stand the rumors in the sect, so she sat on the fruit tree and felt sad alone.
They came out to comfort her out of kindness, simply because they believed that she would not hurt them.
Die Yixian has served them for hundreds of years, pruning and watering them, and can be considered their benefactor.
Later, after Ling Huatian ascended to heaven, a dozen spiritual fruit trees in the back mountain also disappeared inexplicably.
The disciples of Nancang Sect all thought that the ancestor was stingy, so they put the fruit trees he planted into his Jie Zi space and took them to the fairyland.
But in fact, they saw with their own eyes that their benefactors were persecuted and died tragically, and they didn't want to stay here any longer.
It is unknown where they went in the end, but after transforming, the tree demons were no longer confined to a certain piece of land.
Seeing that Qu Jing's curiosity was aroused, Bai Chen continued to explain:
"Xianyun fruit is delicious, effective, rare and extremely precious.
Because they have extremely high requirements for soil and climate environment, there are only a few of them in the entire continent, which makes them even more precious.
These spiritual fruits benefit all the disciples in the sect. They not only improve their physical constitutions, but also prevent bottlenecks in cultivation.
You must have felt the benefits of eating spiritual fruit."
Qu Jing nodded, "So, this spiritual fruit is so precious! Then we really ate too much, so that's why the senior sister is angry, right?"
“Well, that’s one reason.
Before the master accepted a disciple, he didn't take care of much of the affairs, so the spiritual fruits in the back mountain were managed by people sent by the sect leader himself, and then distributed to each peak.
Elders and above each have two, elite disciples each have one, inner disciples each have half, outer disciples and menial disciples each have no half."
Seeing Bai Chen's gesture, Qu Jing couldn't help but be shocked. He felt very guilty and felt that he was really a prodigal son.
"Later, the master accepted me and my senior sister as his apprentices, and then my senior sister took over the job of managing the thousand-year-old fruit trees in the back mountain.
I was only eight years old at the time and she was only thirteen.
The biggest benefit of managing fruit trees is, of course, that you can get more fruit.
Originally, the ration for Piao Miao Peak was ten, and after we managed it ourselves, it should have been fifty, but Master got more for us, so it became a hundred.
This was already very remarkable in the eyes of other disciples of the sect.
But! In the past few hundred years, I have not been able to eat a single spiritual fruit allocated to Piaomiao Peak every year.
To be precise, I have eaten ten in these five hundred years, and all ten were given to me by my master.
So, I didn’t remind you to eat as much as you wanted while Senior Sister was away.
Because I know that once the senior sister comes back, we won’t be able to eat it anymore.”
Qu Jing was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that the senior sister would be so domineering that she actually monopolized a hundred spiritual fruits by herself.
The way she eats is so ugly.
It turns out that the former Second Senior Sister had always been the target of her bullying!
I originally thought that the senior sister was a very nice person, but it turns out she was not what I thought.
He still remembered how kind the senior sister was to him when he first arrived at Piaomiao Peak.
Even though he saw with his own eyes that the senior sister almost killed the junior sister, he did not think badly of her.
I just felt that the slap she gave was just an instinctive reaction.
Bai Chen's judgment of Hua Menglian did not slander her, he only spoke the truth.
When working, she kept assigning the junior sister to do the work, but when there were benefits, the junior sister couldn't even have a sip of soup.
Although Die Yixian didn't say anything, she still had something on her mind.
The sect’s rations seemed to be quite a lot, but for a Nascent Soul cultivator, the expenses were also very high.
As a member of the sect, while receiving supplies from the sect, you also have to make contributions to the sect and cannot be stingy.
Many human-related incidents are always inevitable.
But the financial power of the entire Piaomiao Peak is monopolized by the eldest sister. If Die Yixian doesn't use her brain, she will only become poorer and poorer.
Later, Die Yixian began to learn alchemy in order to change her financial situation.
At that time, she was already over a hundred years old and had advanced to the early stage of Nascent Soul.
In the eyes of others, she started a little late, beginning to learn at the initial stage of Nascent Soul, so it might be a little difficult for her to become a high-level alchemist.
But the true manifestation of her talent is her cross-disciplinary learning.
She learned all her alchemy skills by herself. She had read through all the libraries in the Nan Cang Sect. Besides that, she also went to some immortal cultivation cities to buy books on alchemy.
After two hundred years of unremitting practice, he finally became a sixth-rank alchemist.
Such a talent for alchemy, such an achievement, made all the disciples of Yaowang Peak who had spent their entire lives studying alchemy look pale in comparison.
Therefore, Elder Min, the master of Yaowang Peak, was very unhappy about this matter and felt very embarrassed.
Because, he himself was only a seventh-rank alchemist, and the highest of his disciples was only fifth-rank, but this person was self-taught and actually reached the sixth rank.
How can people live like this
He was unhappy, but he could do nothing about it, because the other person was of a higher generation! He was the disciple of the ancestor.
Thinking of Die Yixian's alchemy skills, Bai Chen couldn't help but curl his lips. He once became a tenth-grade alchemist.
It's just right, I can help her develop her skills and surpass the master of Yaowang Peak.
After Die Yixian was reborn, she never refined pills again because the fox spirit did not have fire spiritual roots.
But Bai Chen had no intention of giving up this skill. After she transformed, if she could practice the "Little Fairy Goddess Secret" and comprehend the art of controlling fire, she could make up for the shortcoming of not having a fire spiritual root.
"Then, where did the spiritual fruits that the senior sister kept go? Did she eat them all by herself?" Qu Jing's question brought Bai Chen back to his senses.
“Of course she didn’t eat it alone, if she ate too much, the effect wouldn’t be so obvious.
Most likely they are exchanging spiritual fruits for spiritual stones."
"Oh! I see."
Although Qu Jing felt very uncomfortable, he did not have the courage to challenge the senior sister. He only knew that it would be difficult for him to eat spiritual fruits in the future.
The days that followed were very peaceful.
Bai Chen mainly observes the development of the relationship between Qu Jing and Hua Menglian.
The young Qujing has learned to be independent and no longer needs care from others.
The eldest senior sister could no longer enter his heart.
Two years later, he had grown to be 1.80 meters tall and had a handsome face, which attracted many young girls in the sect to stand on tiptoe to watch him, hoping to develop some feelings with him.
