This leaf was found by Jiang Li in the box where the Mu family's Shouting peaches were stored.
The variety is very special. Even in the entire Eastern Immortal Cultivation World, not many monks have seen it.
But it just so happened that Jiang was very familiar with it.
Because this leaf is exactly the leaf of Jiuyou Wood, the spiritual root of heaven and earth. As a practitioner of Jiuyou Taoist Scripture, Jiang Li can guarantee that if it is fake, it will never be wrong.
And being able to hand this leaf into his hands means that the other party is either a parasite of another branch of Jiuyou, or simply the true body is here.
And the most important thing is that the other party may also know that behind Jiang Li, there is also a branch of Jiuyou.
Jiang Li originally thought that the enemy was hidden and we were exposed, so he came from Mu's house to find out the situation.
But no details about the Mu family were found out, and I didn't expect that my situation had been quietly found out.
If this information about the method is revealed to the Taolin Mu family, Jiang Li may be in big trouble again.
In addition, the ancient words written on the leaves also made Jiang Li very concerned.
"The yang fruit of longevity peach can cover the breath of yin fruit."
Among them, the yang fruit of the longevity peach naturally refers to the Mu family longevity peach. The yin fruit refers to the Jiuyou earth fruit.
Jiang Li tried it, but the other party didn't lie to him.
After using Jiuyou Wood to absorb the longevity peach, then integrate it into the Jiuyou Earth Fruit or the spiritual root seed.
The unique aura of the spiritual root seed can indeed form a pretty perfect cover.
Even he himself has a hard time recognizing his own puppet.
The other party's intention in passing this news to him was obviously to let him use it on Barossa, the Beast Madness Sect.
Originally, Jiang Li did not want to use the spiritual root seeds within the Taolin area.
I plan to use the illithid to control Barossa first, and after dealing with the top brass of the Beastman Sect, let Barossa find an opportunity to die quickly.
Because there is a disadvantage in doing this, after the brain is eaten by the illithid, although the monk may not look strange on the surface, the person's essence is actually dead.
This also means that the Soul Lamp Life Tablet stored by Barossa in the Beast Madness Sect will be extinguished on the spot.
It won't take long for the other sect to react. If both sides die at the same time, Jiang Li will easily get involved.
It wasn't until he read the note and conducted the experiment that he discovered that it was indeed possible, and used the spiritual root seed fused with Shoudao to turn Barossa into his own.
As the second generation of this sect, it may not be possible to directly resolve the conflict between the Beast Madness Sect and the Chongshan Alliance.
But now that it has temporarily eased, the problem is still not big.
In the future, using him as a springboard, Jiang Li can also gradually encroach. As long as several important figures in the Beast Madness Sect become his own, this matter can be solved without bloodshed.
You don’t have to worry about the Beast Madness Sect episode for the time being.
The problem now is that he must find the hidden Jiuyou branch as soon as possible.
"Could it be Mu Chunkong?"
This longevity peach box was handed to him by Mu Chunkong himself.
If you want to do tricks, it is easiest for him.
But after thinking for a moment, Jiang Li shook his head and ruled out this possibility.
He had tried it many times before with Mu Chunyang.
Due to the special skills of the Mu family, spiritual root seeds cannot parasitize on their bodies at all.
Even if you use force, the end result will only be that the recipient dies suddenly due to the conflict between two completely opposite energies.
Although there are some differences between each spiritual root branch, its essence will not change.
Since Jiang Li can't do it, the other party will most likely not be able to do it either.
That might be the second generation of other sects in Gaoting.
At that time, everyone's attention was focused on the battle between Jiang Li and Barossa. Under such circumstances, it would not be difficult to use some means to quietly put a leaf into the box.
The bracelet was retrieved from the Qiu Hua of Shenshan Mountain and transformed into a miniature golden reticulated python in Jiang Li's hands.
This is naturally the other big demon python in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes in Rock Mountain.
Before, Jiang Li turned it into a bracelet and stayed in the high pavilion with Shenshan Qiu Hua. In addition to protecting Qiu Hua, he also wanted it to monitor everyone from it.
Beware of these second-generation people plotting against him behind his back.
Unfortunately, the other party was very cautious, and the reticulated python did not observe any suspicious people.
Unable to determine the target directly, Jiang Li looked at the blade again.
The only thing that can be determined now is that this Jiuyou leaf is completely fresh and should not have been picked for more than an hour.
In other words, the person who sneaked into the Mu family and was very close to Jiang Li in the high pavilion should be the original branch of the Jiuyou tree.
He is really courageous, and his method of concealing his aura is really good.
Jiang Li was a little overwhelmed, so he put several parallel consciousnesses together and thought about it for a long time.
If the other party intentionally hides and wants to find it directly, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But actually, there is still a way, maybe you can contact the other party first to try it out.
After explaining to Shenshan Qiuhua, Jiang Li sat down cross-legged on the spot, meditating and his spirit had sunk deep into the sea of consciousness.
This time he did not summon other parallel consciousnesses, but instead got into the sea of consciousness of Jiuyou's clone.
Compared with Jiang Li's original body, the sea of consciousness of Jiuyou's clone seems much smaller, and the spiritual world is also more monotonous and empty.
In the gloomy spiritual world, there is only a huge upside-down tree floating in the middle of the world.
The surrounding area is only a few hundred feet long, and it has already reached its end.
Looking outside, except for Jiang Li's main consciousness, nothing else could be seen.
This is different from the scene Jiang Li saw when he used the Guanyin Heart Sutra to obtain Jiuyou branches.
The sea of consciousness of a normal branch of Jiuyou is actually anchored on the main body of Jiuyou Wood.
But after Jiang Li captured this branch, he cut off his original connection and anchored himself on the seaside of his own consciousness.
What he has to do now is to return this mental space to its original position.
Jiang Li concentrated his mind and activated the Guanyin Heart Sutra, cutting off the connection between the two spiritual worlds.
The next moment, the spiritual world of the Jiuyou branch began to vibrate. After being separated from Jiang Li's body, it suspended for a moment, and then was attracted by another existence, approaching an unknown direction.
The spiritual world is ethereal and there is no concept of distance in the conventional sense.
Just like between him and the Yaksha clone, this spiritual connection can even transcend the barriers of planes without being affected too much.
Not long after, through the boundary of the sea of consciousness, Jiang Li vaguely saw a giant inverted tree that reached the sky and the earth.
Even in the spiritual world, it is difficult to observe the other party's complete posture.
Sure enough, the parallel consciousness of the Guanyin Heart Sutra can deceive even this spiritual essence. As long as you actively rely on it, you will also be accepted by Jiuyoumu.
Soon, the consciousness space stabilized.
Jiang Li looked around, and in the other direction of the spiritual space, he was almost close to the spiritual bubble of another branch of Jiuyou.
The mission of the many Jiuyou branches is to determine the strongest one by devouring each other, and then return to the underworld to devoure the true body in order to inherit the power of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
Therefore, from the time they were born, there was an instinct to converge.
For example, in this consciousness space, the distance between the spiritual bubbles can be used to judge the distance between the body and the body.
Now, almost a stone's throw away, you can see the spiritual world of another Jiuyou branch.
It means that there is really a Nine Nether Tree, which is quite close to him.
This should be the person who contacted me, right?
With a thought in his mind, Jiang Li ran to the nearest spiritual edge between the two parties.
At this time, the other party also discovered him.
In the opponent's mental space, a smaller version of Jiuyoumu spontaneously floated over.
The shape of its tree body is that of a Taoist immortal in reverse lotus posture.
What is worth noting is that behind the statue, the bark is not flat, but a group of shrunken wrinkles.
It seems that there was something growing under the bark of the tree, but the things inside disappeared for some reason. After the bark became empty, it became wrinkled.
Jiang Li was shocked and remembered the branch tree in the Mazu River Basin.
After the opponent's demonic tree heart was obtained by him, he made it into the core of the idol's clone.
And the other half of the idol, Shu Xin, is exactly the same as the one in front of you now.
Wait, if the other party hadn't been blind back then, he must have seen that the cold flames of the ghost lamp that burned him half to death were set off by Jiang Li.
Are you here to take revenge now?
After understanding the identity of the other party, he recalled the frequent disappearance of the seed cultivators in his stubborn stone hermit army.
Now it seems that it is very likely that this guy is responsible.
Back then, the Nine Nether Tree in the underwater cemetery was almost burned to death by Jiang Li's ghost lantern.
After escaping, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When he was seriously injured, he awakened a special talent similar to the spiritual root seed, shrinking in size and hiding in the body of a human monk.
After lying dormant for a period of time, he reappeared at an unknown time. He did not reveal his traces, but instead lurked within the Dazhong Mountain area, poaching Jiang Li from behind.
Since Jiang Li Man Jiang Hong's stall is too big, it is inevitable that this guy will find it.
This is really hard to guard against.
After this guy escaped that year, Jiang Li specially took out ten lanterns of ghost lantern fish, refined them into disposable ghost lantern fire thunder, and gave them to the senior officials of the Chongshan League.
As long as this Nine Nether Tree dares to appear again, even if he is not present, the Chongshan Alliance can still use ghost lights and thunder to teach him a fatal lesson.
But it's a pity that the tree demon became smarter after becoming a spirit, and in the end it was himself who was plotted against.
The two sides stared at each other across the barrier of the spiritual world.
But the soul cannot cross this seemingly small distance.
At this time, a tree root of the opponent stretched out, and there was a dark token rolled on the root, with the word "Chongshan" written on it.
At the same time, Jiang Li's chest suddenly felt hot, and it was his Chongshan Alliance leader's order that reacted at this moment.
With a thought, he held his alliance leader's order in his hand. After reading the message, his face immediately became even more ugly.
"Finally I see you again, my fellow racer. Or rather, I should call you Qingshan layman!"
The message was delivered by the token he left to Yan Hong.
But the one who sent the message was obviously the Jiuyou branch that was facing him across the air.
It turned out that even Yan Hong had fallen into the hands of the other party.
Plus those other mysteriously missing stone hermits.
Now that they have changed the court, all the information they know has naturally been leaked.
However, fortunately, Jiang Li did not usually have the habit of telling his subordinates everything. He only conveyed the mission and never the reasons, so the leaked information was still within his tolerance.
Moreover, this Nine Nether Tree probably doesn't think that a human can control his own kind.
After he obtained the information about the stubborn stone hermit cultivator, he roughly guessed the experience of "this fellow man".
In his understanding, Jiuyou's clone originally appeared in the world of immortality as a layman named Qingshan, and cut off a lot of his spiritual roots.
Later, he found a way to get to know and control the leader of the Chongshan League, and then he left Dachongshan with his troops and arrived at the main city of the Eastern Region.
The purpose of calling out the name "Qingshan Jushi" was to let Jiang Li know that he had mastered all his information and to try to bring some psychological pressure to Jiang Li.
Seeing that the other party misunderstood, Jiang Li did not deny it, but calmly asked the other party through the leader's order.
"It's you, where are my seeds now?"
The other party's bare feet are not afraid of those wearing shoes. If Jiang Li wants to avoid being passive, he has to pretend that he doesn't care about shoes.
One sentence expresses his attitude towards the missing monks.
"Don't worry, they are very good. You robbed Lao Dao of two thousand seeds before, wouldn't it be just right to use them to repay me now?"
In the world of cultivating immortals in Dazhong Mountain, there were only two of them Jiuyou branches. Of course, Jiang Li was responsible for those cultivators who disappeared when he was still in the underwater cemetery.
But Jiang Li had no intention of admitting it.
"I don't know what you are talking about. But you are not allowed to touch my territory and my seeds."
"Give back all my seeds. You should know that you are no match for me."
Jiang Li didn't show any anger or even worry, as if he was really just a tree.
The other party already possesses a high level of spiritual intelligence. If he lets the other party feel that he values those cultivators and even Yan Hong, he will be severely threatened.
Jiang Li looked paralyzed, and raised his hand to summon a ball of white ghost lantern fire.
It looks like I'm not afraid of you, but I'm sure of you.
Seeing the pale fire, a trace of fear and anger clearly flashed across the center of the tree of the statue of Dao Gu Xianfeng.
Although the color is different, he suffered a big loss from this flame back then.
Even though Jiang Li's Jiuyou clone is not as strong as him, as long as this ball of fire is around, he has no chance of winning.
Just like this, Jiang Li didn't show any signs of being coerced, but instead threatened the other party.
This bold operation could lead to Yan Hong's death if he were not careful.
But the other party's next words made Jiang Li breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's not good for us to do anything here."
"I can return those seeds to you, but you have to help me deal with the Peach Demonic Wood!"
