3035 The Tree Spirit
The tiger became agitated upon hearing this. “Master, master, do you have an excellent method for us to advance?”
Feng Jiu let out a chuckle before saying slowly, “You will know it as time goes on.”
The tiger took Feng Jiu to where the Longevity Tree was growing. “Master, that’s the tree.” The tiger pointed its paw at the tree in front of them while crouching down to let Feng Jiu off.
Feng Jiu raised her eyes to the three or four-meter-tall tree in front of her. “Does this tree only yield two fruits?” She wondered, noticing only green leaves. She walked up to the area below the tree, where she could still faintly smell the Longevity Fruit’s unique fragrance.
Her brows were furrowed. There was no fruit, but the fragrance lingered. It wasn’t an ordinary fruit tree at all. However, the tree trunk was damaged, the branches and leaves were sparse, and there were dead branches interspersed among the living branches as if they were dying.
The tiger shook its head. “That, I’m not sure. Perhaps the tree can’t bear fruits. There were only two tiny fruits on the tree when we found it. It was difficult to keep the fruits safe until they were ripe, and then they got stolen. The tree might not live for long.”
Feng Jiu’s hand lightly touched the tree’s trunk, and she was about to withdraw it when she heard a soft voice.
“Save me, save me…”
She looked around but saw no one. After listening carefully, she found that the voice seemed to come from the tree. Her heart beat a little faster. “Are you talking?” she asked, placing one hand against the tree.
“I didn’t say anything!” The tiger looked at Feng Jiu with doubt.
Feng Jiu ignored the tiger and turned her attention to the Longevity Fruit tree in front of her.
“It’s me; please help me! I feel you have a powerful life force. Please help me!” The sound was soft, and if Feng Jiu didn’t listen carefully, she wouldn’t have heard it.
“Have you turned into a true essence?” Feng Jiu’s eyes glowed.
“I am the tree spirit, but my vital essence is too weak to condense. I can only cling to the Longevity Fruit tree.”
Feng Jiu pressed her hand on the Longevity Fruit tree and transferred it into her space. The tiger’s eyes widened in shock as it saw the scene.
“Let’s go!” Feng Jiu turned to face the tiger and jumped on its back.
The tiger wanted to ask but didn’t know how, so it just walked back to the previous location without saying anything.
“How are you all doing? Have you got enough rest?” Feng Jiu stepped down from the tiger’s back and walked over to the group of people resting in the tree’s shade.
At this point, the two tigers got together, moved to a corner, and put their heads together to talk. No one knew what they were talking about, but they kept looking at Feng Jiu.
“Senior, our Senior Brothers’ external injuries have already been well treated and bandaged, but their internal injuries are severe. I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave for a while.” The woman with the surname Mu spoke while keeping a cautious eye on Feng Jiu. “Senior, could we stay for a while?”
Feng Jiu took a look at a few of them. “Did you not bring any pills?” They had to use internal alchemy in this situation. Internal wounds in the body would heal quickly as long as the person took internal alchemy. It was better than staying put and recovering slowly.
“We’ve already taken the pills, but we won’t see the effects for some time.” A man said, “Please leave first if Senior has other obligations! When we recover, we will leave immediately and return to the Immortal Sect.”
