Chapter 356
Yu Xi reacted and shook his head subconsciously:
"You've done me a great favor by giving me the Wind and Thunder Pearl. I don't need you to give me more demonic power."
Shu Tianzhu is now so weak that she gasps for air every three steps. It would be unreasonable to give her any more magic power.
If something happened to such an old woman, Shu Nanzhi would be so overwhelmed with tears.
Hearing her refusal, Shu Tianzhu kept a cheerful smile on his face. He sat cross-legged, leaned forward slightly, and placed the box in front of him.
Before Yu Xi could ask, he pushed the box towards Yu Xi and scanned the waterways surrounding them.
"Master Demon God, you should have recognized it. This corresponds to the place where you are enshrined in the holy land."
Yu Xi didn't reply.
Shu Tianzhu continued, "So this was also the first place the monks dug, but they found nothing. Do you know why?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xi did not touch the wooden box rashly, but just frowned.
Before, when the box was in Shu Tianzhu's hand, she didn't notice many details. Now that the box was in front of her, she could immediately see the winding lines on the box, and its smooth and clear surface, which had not faded at all despite being buried deep in the moist soil.
Suddenly, her heart moved and she said:
"Is this a wooden box made from a hibiscus tree?"
Luo Chunxi had a rich collection of books, one of which described in detail the characteristics of the hibiscus tree and the creatures created by it.
The Fusang tree is a sacred tree from ancient times. Whether it really existed is no longer verifiable, but we only know that although it is in the shape of a tree, it has divinity and can drive away evil spirits and prevent disasters.
Sure enough, Shu Tianzhu's eyes softened, and he looked at the box in front of Yu Xi and said:
"Perhaps it was because of the protection of the Fusang tree that the monks coincidentally failed to discover its existence until the very last moment."
In the eyes of the Fusang tree at this time, the spiritual energy that possesses the spirit of righteousness has been regarded as evil.
Yu Xi didn't understand why Shu Tianzhu suddenly told her this.
She raised a finger and lightly touched the corner of the wooden box. She could feel a light spiritual energy flowing into her fingertips. In an instant, her mind became clear, and all the messy emotions and fatigue disappeared.
It was as if something had cleansed the soul, making the ears and eyes clear, the mind refreshed, and even the lost demonic power was rapidly recovering.
Shu Tianzhu saw Yu Xi was so surprised that his tail was standing up with hair on it, and his beard with a flower knot was shaking with laughter. He hugged his beard and said happily:
"Now you understand, don't you? Even if you take away my demonic power, nothing will happen to me. Little Tree, I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. I want to offer my services to you once again in this place where I have offered my services to you for thousands of years."
Yu Xi had never thought that a creation of the Fusang tree could be so magical. She was much more energetic. Seeing Shu Tianzhu laughing at her, she couldn't help but glare at him and said venomously:
"Grandpa Tree, I still like hearing you call yourself 'old man'. You're already quite old, and it's not good to act young."
Shu Tianzhu laughed so hard that his beard trembled. It was obvious that he was really happy at this moment.
Seeing that Shu Tianzhu sincerely hoped to share some of his demonic power with her and looked at her expectantly, Yu Xi thought for a moment and didn't want to spoil Shu Tianzhu's fun, so she stretched out her hand and said:
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't worship the stone tablet anymore."
God knows where all the demonic powers that were offered were given away.
Shu Tianzhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded:
"it is good."
Seeing Shu Tianzhu agreed so directly, Yu Xi was also stunned. She thought that judging from Shu Tianzhu's previous enthusiasm, he would definitely not be happy.
Before she could ask any more questions, Shu Tianzhu had already extended his hand to her.
Yu Xi raised her hand and held it. The rough hand didn't feel good when she held it, but it was very warm. At the same time, a huge demonic power rushed into her body crazily.
It was only then that Yu Xi realized that Shu Tianzhu was not just giving her a part of his demonic power, but was pouring his inner alchemy cultivation and demonic power into her together!
Yu Xi had no time to be angry. If the huge demonic power was not dealt with in time, it would block her meridians.
She quickly closed her eyes, crossed her legs, held her breath, and circulated her inner elixir, trying to swallow all the demonic power transmitted by Shu Tianzhu.
However, these demonic powers were much easier to absorb than she had imagined. Perhaps it was because of the flexibility of the tree demon itself, or perhaps it was because her demonic power had gone out of control before, causing her inner elixir to expand a lot. She absorbed all of this huge demonic power with almost no pain.
At the same time, the inner elixir began to operate rapidly again, and his cultivation level reached the late stage of the golden elixir, just one step away from a breakthrough.
You can't break through at this time!
She is totally unprepared now. If there is another eighteen-fold thunder tribulation, she can't chase Qingzheng and hold him up to block the thunder tribulation, right?
Then my brother must be so anxious that he would go to heaven and fight with the thunder with his sword.
What's more, the situation in Yaoling Valley is already bad enough. If there are more thunder tribulations, Shu Tianzhu will have to deal with the traces left behind.
Yu Xi was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead, but fortunately he managed to restrain the breakthrough in his cultivation in time.
Realizing that her cultivation had stabilized, she exhaled, opened her eyes, and was about to glare at Shu Tianzhu to tell him to stop doing such a thing, but she saw Shu Tianzhu lying peacefully on the ground with his eyes closed, his life or death unknown.
Her face changed slightly and she hurried over. She saw that Shu Tianzhu was just closing his eyes and pretending to be dead. When he saw her coming, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Master Demon God, why do you get so angry when you're nervous?"
Normally, the Demon Goddess's furry tail is almost as long as her height, and it hangs high and swings behind her.
But when it gets nervous, the tail becomes fluffy and looks like a ball of hair that has been electrocuted.
The Demon God in his impression was too huge, and he couldn't imagine what it would look like with its hair standing on end. But now, seeing the miniature version of the Demon God with its hair standing on end, he just felt that it was adorable and wanted to pet it. His life was complete.
Yu Xi's ears felt hot from being laughed at, and he became angry and embarrassed, and was about to pull out his beard in anger.
Shu Tianzhu quickly rolled to the side holding his beard. His beard was his real body. If his beard was gone, he would die!
At the same time, he quickly pushed the box of the hibiscus tree in front of Yu Xi:
"Please open it and take a look. This Fusang tree was a gift you once gave to the first leader of the Tiger Demon Clan. You wanted her to make a weapon out of it, but she ended up using it to make a wooden box specifically for the Wind and Thunder Pearl you asked us to look after.
"Now, living up to your expectations, my tree demon clan and tiger demon clan have finally secured the Wind and Thunder Pearl. It is intact and has been returned to its original state."
It’s a pity that the entire tiger demon clan was destroyed, and only he and the youngest Shu Nanzhi were left among the tree demons.
Shu Tianzhu's eyes dimmed.
Yu Xi glanced at him, lowered her head and opened the wooden box. A black and purple inner elixir, about the size of her palm, was lying quietly in the box.
You can feel the eerie ghostly aura at just one glance.
Even though she didn't know what the Wind and Thunder Pearl looked like before, she could tell it was the real thing at a glance.
She vaguely felt that she should say something.
Looking up, she met Shu Tianzhu's dim eyes and said with a sense of something:
"Thank you, thank you for protecting it, thank you."
Shu Tianzhu's eyelids trembled, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
"this is necessary."
He smiled and said, "You have provided the Yaoling Valley, a safe haven, for the tree demon and the tiger demon. You have done us a favor. Completing your task is the only way we can repay you."
And this recognition is the meaning of their existence.
