The small branches trembled, full of resistance, and carefully protected the nine green leaves.
Xu Chunniang made a show of wanting to pick them, and at the same time she said seriously, "Don't worry, I will move very quickly. I will pick a few leaves to try."
The little branch panicked, dodging and sending out a weak spiritual thought, "Hey... don't eat me!"
Xu Chunniang curled her lips slightly, and as expected, this small branch gave birth to spiritual wisdom.
But it seems that its spiritual intelligence has just been born and is still very weak.
"Your seven leaves grew after eating the dragon vein source I gave you. I can just pick three or five of them, but that's not too much."
Xiao Zhi almost cried. Just now, he said he only needed two pieces, so why do he need three or five pieces now?
"The leaves are for healing. It's useless if you eat them. If you pick them off, they will be wasted..."
Xu Chunniang touched her chin and looked disappointed.
"So you are so useless. Then spit out the part of the essence you just ate and give it back to me."
Xiao Zhi was confused. How could he spit out the food he had eaten?
And didn’t she give it the source of those dragon veins?
"Then the original purpose is to give you good food, but if you eat my food, you have to give me something in return, right?"
A cunning look flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes, "If you have nothing to repay, then I will reluctantly refine you into my natal magical weapon."
The twig is of extremely high grade and has very powerful healing power. The only drawback is that it cannot be easily moved.
Since forming the elixir, Xu Chunniang has never had a magical weapon of her own.
Later, after seeing the incredible healing power of a small branch, she became interested in refining it into a magical weapon.
It was only because Xiao Zhi was very cold and always ignored her that she gave up.
But now that Xiao Zhi has swallowed up so much dragon vein origin, it’s not too much for her to take advantage of the situation and ask for some benefits, right?
The corners of Xu Chunniang's mouth were slightly raised, and she followed the temptation.
"Become my natal magical weapon, and you can continue to stay in my Dantian and absorb the innate purple energy.
If you are not willing, then I will have to pluck all nine of your leaves and throw you out of your Dantian."
Xiao Zhi trembled all over and sent out a divine thought in aggrieved tone.
"Don't pull out my leaves, I am willing...but I am still very weak and cannot consume it often."
Xu Chunniang coughed dryly. She didn't think there was anything wrong with bullying Xiao Zhi's newfound sanity. She nodded and asked seriously.
"Okay, how long will it take for you to recover?"
The twig pointed at the origin of the dragon's veins, revealing a trace of desire.
"I have to eat a lot of things like this, a lot. When I recover, I will be very powerful!"
Xu Chunniang pushed the small branch away with an expressionless expression. She only had so much dragon vein origin, and she couldn't let it create a bottomless pit.
The small branch that was pushed aside felt a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again and pointed at the mountain and river map, soul-fixing mirror and other objects not far away.
"I'm more powerful than them. Once I become my natal magic weapon, they won't be able to compete with me for purple energy."
"Can."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and moved her consciousness towards the small branch.
The twig is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. Its grade is higher than the fourth-grade treasure. It is refined very slowly.
Fortunately, the small branches cooperated very well, which saved Xu Chunniang a lot of time.
Even so, it took more than three months to completely refine the twig.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, lifted her palm up, and a green and crystal twig suddenly appeared in her palm.
The nine green leaves on the small branches are shining and look very extraordinary.
After completely refining the twig, Xu Chunniang also had a deeper understanding of its abilities.
Small branches control vitality, have the power of hair growth and healing, and have the effects of purification and purification.
She was determined to test the hair-growing power of the twig. She held the twig in her hand and waved it downwards.
I saw that the hundred-mile dry plain below turned from yellow to green in a short time, and large green buds broke out of the ground, bringing life to this barren land.
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully, the hair growth effect of small branches can be used to promote the birth of some rare elixirs.
As for the effectiveness of purification and purification, I will try it again when I have the opportunity.
Putting away the twigs, Xu Chunniang focused on the origin of the dragon veins and tried to absorb it.
The small branch had absorbed a quarter of the dragon's vein essence in just a few strokes before, and she thought it would be easy to refine it.
Unexpectedly, when it was her turn, as soon as she breathed in a breath, her soul was shaken, and she felt as if she was in a dream but not a dream.
At the same time, the cultivation of the fourth level of Nascent Soul in her body also began to loosen.
Xu Chunniang quickly stopped refining the source of dragon veins. After a long time, the dazed feeling gradually disappeared.
We are about to leave the Western Region. This small group of dragon vein source may not seem like much, but it will take a lot of time to completely refine it.
It is better to wait until you return to the sect and have some free time before refining it.
A few days later, the nine peaks of Xiaoyao Sect's inner sect appeared in Xu Chunniang's consciousness.
The ice and snow in the mountains had melted, and the Xiaoyao Sect at this time had returned to the green and vigorous appearance in her memory.
As for the aura, it hasn't changed much compared to when she left four years ago.
Xu Chunniang is not in a hurry. It takes time for the spiritual energy to recover. After some years, the spiritual energy will slowly increase.
Without alerting anyone, she put away the wooden boat she used to travel and quietly escaped into the Xiaoyao Sect, heading straight towards the main peak and the cave where Master Sheng retreated.
However, when they arrived at the cave, they were in vain. Master Sheng was not here at all.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, Master Sheng was not in the cave, so where was he?
She took out a transmission talisman and inserted a spiritual thought into it, and soon received a reply.
It turned out that these days were the days of the competition for the outer disciples. Master Sheng had nothing to do and went to preside over the competition.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help stroking her forehead. The outer sect was all qi-training disciples, and Master Sheng, a dignified Yuanying monk, actually went to host a small competition. It was simply overkill.
However, Master Sheng's temperament cannot sit still, so this seems to be something she can do.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and then headed towards the outer door.
Twenty years have passed since the mountain gate was reopened.
Let's take advantage of this opportunity to see how far the sect's new disciples have grown.
As they headed towards the outer gate, the scenery along the way seemed familiar, which made Xu Chunniang feel emotional.
The scene in the past when she first entered the sect was still before her eyes, and more than 140 years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, she has been to many places, and her cultivation has continued to grow, becoming the Nascent Soul Lord respected by everyone.
But her original intention to practice well seems to have never changed.
A burst of noise interrupted Xu Chunniang's thoughts. Unknowingly, she had arrived at the outer door.
Xu Chunniang calmed down and looked towards the arena in the distance.
