1060 A Tree that Wishes to Cry! (1/2)
”Old Master, Old Master, please calm down and listen to me, I'm actually not something that belongs to anyone. I can just ignore those people in the future, and they wouldn't be able to see me at all. That should work right!?” Lord Holy Tree proposed anxiously.
”Bullsh*t! What does it have anything to do with me whether you see those people or not? I'll only say one thing now: Today, I'm determined to take a Holy Tree away. If you can't satisfy my desire, you would have lost your value to exist. Those who obey me live, while those who defy me… keke, will be burnt to ashes, and their souls scattered…” Jun Mo Xie said in a gangster-ish way.
”Understood, understood, I have… I have… I really have… Old Master… y-you must… stay your hand, hold on for just one second…” Lord Holy Tree stammered. If it hadn't remembered that this Old Master did not like its eyes popping out, both its eyeballs would already have popped out three zhang away…
”Wait one second? For what? You're already finished anyway, what tricks are you trying to pull? I don't have that much time!” Young Master Jun said in an annoyed manner.
”This… please don't be anxious, you must allow me to explain ah…” Lord Holy Tree said in a scared voice. It was feeling extremely bitter in this moment… even when the Nine Nether First Young Master brought it here as a sapling, he had treated it very carefully…
Who acts like this bandit-like fellow, threatening to burn and destroy with every sentence… F*ck… why has the human race become like this… don't they even know how to flatter a little?
The poor tree turned around and its two thick and strong arms appeared once again. This time, it was holding two green colored things carefully in its hands.
”What the f*ck is that? Say it directly. I'm really getting very impatient now!” Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes dangerously.
”This… this is my life's essence…” This Lord Holy Tree was about to cry as it said. ”Only with my permission, can they be merged together. Then I just need to pour my blood essence over them, and it will become a Rainbow Holy Tree seed which can grow into a new Rainbow Holy Tree… but that requires a very long time…”
”Ah… so that's how it is. Alright, I understand.” Young Master Jun waved his hand dangerously. ”Hurry up and nurture it then, and pour your blood essence over it. Quickly, I don't have much time.”
The Holy Tree rolled its eyes and almost fainted. ”Er, Old Master… in order to form a seed from this life's essence, I will need to sacrifice over a thousand years worth of life force… On top of that, I need to extract a third of my essence blood… this this this…”
This Lord Holy Tree's eyes seemed to be welling with tears, and its voice was as hoarse as a runaway train. It constantly looked at the magical hands which the Old Master had used to conjure the amazing 'Power that grows all wood'…
”There's no need to speak so much nonsense. In the first place, I'd come to conduct a trade with you. I won't let you work for free. For all the life force you lost, I will replenish it for you… even returning you double the amount is not an issue.”
Jun Mo Xie switched to using the carrot instead of the stick. If that tree turned desperate and decided to go for mutual destruction, he would not get any benefits as well. Truthfully, he really wouldn't bear to kill this tree. After all, it was a being that had lived for over 10,000 years…
”Really?!” Lord Holy Tree's eyeballs nearly popped out again in its excitement. It calculated briefly in its heart about how much it would gain from this trade…
”Would I still lie to you?” Jun Mo Xie lifted his chin and said disdainfully. ”You should understand, even if I don't give you a single cent, would you dare to not give me what I want!? In that case, why would I lie to you? Hurry up and get to work, my time is limited!”
”That's true.” Although Lord Holy Tree didn't know what a 'cent' was, it still understood the general meaning. There was indeed no reason for the other party to lie to it. Since it wouldn't be losing out in anything, it might as well get to work quickly. If it could really get some life energy in return, it would have made a great profit…
”Many thanks, Old Master… I'll get to work immediately.” Lord Holy Tree said in a fawning manner.
After that, the two balls of life's essence glowed resplendently under the control of the Rainbow Holy Tree. One of it was shining with a green light, while the other burst with a seven colored radiance. Slowly, the two merged together, and a green light filled the entire space!
Following that, Lord Holy Tree panted heavily and said, ”Old Master, please move over here.”
Jun Mo Xie followed a thin root and turned a corner, discovering a pond lake. This pond was filled with deep green water. The top layer of the pond was covered in a thick layer of seven colored mist…
Lord Holy Tree said in a somewhat proud manner, ”Old Master, this is the life blood essence I mentioned before. The seed can only germinate after being soaked in here and truly grow. If it isn't soaked in this, even if it could germinate by luck, it would wither very quickly… haha…”
As the Holy Tree laughed proudly, it placed the newly formed seed into the pond. A light splash rang out, and it sank to the bottom of the water. In a moment, bubbles rose to the top, as if that seed was breathing in the Holy Tree's blood essence…
”En. This is your life blood essence? It can't be this little right?” Young Master Jun looked at the proud mannerism of this fellow and smirked in his heart as he thought to himself. Just this bit of tree sap is only enough to nurture one tree at most… what are you being so proud about!
”What do you mean this little?” The Holy Tree widened its eyes. If it were any other person, it would most likely have smacked the human to death and absorbed the ignorant fellow as fertilizer. But it didn't dare to do that with his particular human. Barely managing to control its anger, it said huffily, ”Old Master! This is my life blood essence! It could even be said to be the number one treasure in the world. Regardless of man, beast, or plant, as long as it's a living thing in this world, they only need to soak in here for an hour, and any kind of injury no matter how serious would be healed! Even if their souls was destroyed, as long as the corpse is still there, even a dissipated soul would be able to be reconstructed again just by soaking in here, subsequently resurrecting back to life! Right, my life blood essence should be called 'Heaven's Root Water' in your world! Don't you know about the legendary 'Heaven's Root Water'?”
Lord Holy Tree looked condescendingly at Jun Mo Xie as it spoke to here. This time, you brat must have been properly shocked right?! Can you see this Lord Holy Tree's extraordinariness now?
”Heaven's Root Water? What's that? Is it really so magical?” Young Master Jun revealed a suitably shocked expression. Gasping, he thought to himself. If it's really so amazing, I wonder if it could heal Green Hunter's injury?
”Hahaha…” Lord Holy Tree laughed with satisfaction, finally managing to get one back. Little brat, although you can threaten me, this Lord Holy Tree's treasure is something that you cannot lay your hands upon…
