He opened his eyes and looked at the old man standing in front of him with a smile.

The elf instinctively feels friendly.

The message from the Bodhi Fruit told them that this person was the Creator and their god.

After touching the Bodhi leaf on his head, the first elf got up from the ground and jumped around the Bodhi Taoist.

Then, the second, the third...

The elves laughed and surrounded Taoist Bodhi, and two elves grabbed the corners of his clothes and tried to climb up from below.

Halfway up the climb, I slipped and returned to the end, and then continued climbing.

There was also the smartest one. He climbed along the Bodhi branch where he was born, climbed to the branch, and then jumped up into the arms of Taoist Bodhi.

Feeling the breath of the wood spirit on Master Bodhi's body, the elf made a pleasant cry.

Seeing the actions of the nine little ones, Taoist Bodhi smiled.

As his own creation, he has a kind of love for these new and innocent lives.

"Congratulations."

Elder Linden is aware of the Bodhi Tree King’s research direction in recent years.

Create life.

Since they are of the same lineage as plants and trees, they are naturally extremely proficient through methods such as close crossbreeding and breeding.

Obviously, this method is not valued by Bodhi Taoists.

What he wants is a life that is intelligent and capable of movement.

Wisdom may not be high, and activity may be slow.

But as long as these two standards are met, the symbolic meanings are completely different.

Tens of millions of times, billions of times...

Elder Linden knows how many experiments the "Tree King" has conducted in the ancient forest sea.

Now that the results have appeared, he is also happy about it.

Elder Lien asked: "How should you name this race you created?"

"Xuan Ti. What do you think?"

When Elder Lin heard this, he immediately praised him with good words.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the nine elves seemed to understand that they had an identity in this world and were no longer like rootless duckweeds. They all laughed and clapped their hands and cheered.

The Bodhi Taoist placed the elves in his arms and bodies one by one on the Bodhi tree branches in front of him.

With a finger, the branches grew bodhi leaves again and rolled into nine small houses as big as fists.

"Split it among yourself and see which one you like."

The Xuanti wood spirits stood on the branches and began to choose their own rooms.

Taoist Bodhi said to Elder Lin: "I plan to teach them knowledge carefully for a period of time in the future. Then, let them live in the ancient forest and help the tree spirits take care of the branches."

Elder Zhen was startled and thought thoughtfully: "Is it just like the Taoist soldiers you created before?"

"The Xuanti tribe is not Taoist soldiers, but a race that truly has the ability to reproduce."

In countless attempts, the Bodhi Taoist also used the Bodhi seeds on the Bodhi tree crown to create a low-level, or in other words, "active plant" with only life instinct.

Driven by the Bodhi Taoist, this little wood spirit can travel between the tree crowns and prune the branches of the spiritual trees.

However, this small wood spirit inspired by the Bodhi tree is only a genus of the Bodhi tree, not a complete race.

Through the life germ contained in the fruit, a temporary life body is formed.

Their life and death are closely related to the bodhi tree. A bodhi tree spirit can survive for one year. After only one reincarnation of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it will remain silent in the jade soil and completely die.

This method is clearly an advanced version of the Immortal Tiangang's magical power of "spreading beans and forming an army".

Just use Bodhi fruit instead of beans.

A prerequisite for measuring whether it is a living race is whether the race can reproduce on its own.

Obviously, the "Fruit Taoist Soldiers" made by Taoist Bodhisattva did not have the ability to reproduce themselves.

It cannot reproduce, and its longevity is rare. Even if it has its own will, it is just a "simulated life" derived from the bodhi tree. It is similar to the wooden beast that the Dragon King of the East China Sea used to tinker with on Tiangang Island.

but--

It's different now.

"These children have the ability to reproduce."

"Does it sprout after falling to the ground?"

For elves obtained from plants such as dryads, monosexuality is perfectly normal.

The so-called reproduction is not sexual reproduction.

Cutting into a tree is a perfectly normal example.

Taoist Bodhisattva nodded.

"The lifespan of these children is not long, but whenever they die, they will turn into a seed and return to the earth. Then the bodhi tree will grow again, and new fruits will be produced from the branches, and they will become Xuanti tribesmen again."

In this way, the Xuanti clan is guaranteed to have nine clansmen. If they practice successfully and accumulate enough strength, they can establish multiple bodhi fruits when they grow again. At that time, new Xuanti clan members can appear.

"This is an ability similar to us - or, in other words, derived from us."

It is a race that does not evolve from animals and does not reproduce between the sexes. It evolves from plants and has the characteristics of plant seed reproduction.

Elder Bai lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then praised again: "This method has allowed us tree spirits to have more scroll races, allowing us to wait for our luck for a long time - you are worthy of being the incarnation of the tree of wisdom. This method is better than the divine tree spirit."

The art of war is more convenient for the Wood Immortal to flourish."

Taoist Bodhi passed down the "Book of Wood Immortals", teaching the tree spirits to practice all year round, spreading the ways of the Wood Immortals, and leading the luck of the elves from the east to the trees and plants.

Elder Lilin is one of the three tree spirit elders in the ancient forest sea, so he naturally knows the great wish of Taoist Bodhi.

The Xuanti clan is not exclusive to Bodhi Taoists.

Be it elder linden or elder pine, they can also use their own fruits to create their own fruit race.

At the moment, this race may not mean much.

But in the long run, the safety of the tree spirits and wood fairies can be guaranteed.

An ancient tree is an ecosystem. Birds, insects and even animals living on the tree form a small ecological circle. The creatures in this ecological circle may not necessarily protect the ancient tree. As far as the ancient tree itself is concerned, they all

They are parasites, and only a few of them can exist in a mutually beneficial symbiosis. And this symbiosis is a makeshift, and they can only survive by pinching their noses.

At present, the existence of Xuanti tribe allows the dryads to see a new direction.

No living creature cares about you more than your own children. How can other animals that parasitize on you and "symbiotically" with you compare to the Xuanti tribe that evolved from your own fruits and cultivated it with your own hands?

Just like Taoist Bodhi, he raised nine little guys properly and let them take care of the branches in the ancient forest.

Help everyone prune dead branches and get rid of insect pests.

This kind of guidance will allow other tree spirits to follow suit and create their own Xuanti tribe (fruit spirits).

The nine elves finished selecting their houses and then waved to Master Bodhi.

Paji—Paji—

When night falls, they close the curtains and begin their sleep.

Taoist Bodhi smiled at each other and watched quietly with Elder Lilin.

Early the next morning, nine elves came out of the house. They drank the dew accumulated on the branches, then instinctively went to the nearby trees, cleaned the moss from the roots one by one, and moved the moss back to Taoist Bodhi.

.

One of the elves handed the moss to Taoist Bodhi.

Taoist Bodhi shook his head.

"You guys eat it."

The elf tilted his head and thought for a while, then touched the Bodhi leaf on the top of his head. Then, in front of Bodhi and Elder Linden, the elf began to eat moss to fill his stomach.

Elder Lin's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

"These little guys feed on moss!"

so perfect!

There is such a perfect race in the world!

Moss is a type of existence that tree spirits hate.

Although they are also plants, they are undoubtedly enemies of woody tree spirits like them.

In addition, there are Fujimoto's fairies, which are evil obstacles that shouldn't exist!

"Your Xuanti tribe is based on seeds and is our natural guardian."
