Phenomena on earth - C295
The deepest part of the tree hollow was actually very large, but because of the firefly’s light, it seemed very small, unlike the cold when they walked down, the temperature here was much warmer. The firefly’s light was like specks of starlight in a deep night, giving people a deep and mysterious feeling.
Borrowing the light, Tian Xiaonuo found a relatively flat place to sit cross-legged. In the darkness, the xylophyllite’s green light was very gentle. Tian Xiaonuo adjusted her meridians and took a deep breath, then began to absorb the wood energy from the xylophyllite.
When absorbing the wood energy, the tree roots surrounding Tian Xiaonuo started to tremble lightly. The spiderweb-like brown tree roots intersected with each other, and the seemingly withering tree roots actually had a strong tenacity, it was even able to pierce deeply into the jade green stone wall.
“Grandfather, what is Xiao Nuo doing?”
Mu Qin’s voice was soft, afraid that he would disturb Tian Xiaonuo, the only people who could resonate with the trees like this were Mu Yuan and the other Spirit People that Mu Qin called uncle.
As if he had been intimidated, Mu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His grey eyebrows looked like an aged wooden beard, and a disbelieving light flashed in Mu Yuan’s eyes. The green light in his eyes was especially bright and clear in the darkness, like a pair of beads that were as bright as emeralds.
“Xiao Nuo used the wood energy from the xylophyllite to strengthen her own meridians, and used it to try to break open her meridians. The xylophyllite s that have been in this place for many years have extremely powerful wood energy, and although the wood energy will not devour her meridians, absorbing too much of it in one go is still harmful for Xiao Nuo, it’s the same principle as eating too much.”
Then, she turned around and was about to leave the tree hole, “Let’s retreat first, Xiao Nuo needs to concentrate.”
His low and hoarse voice sounded very weak, “In order to avoid the invasion of humans, we spirit people have lived here for a long time. The spirit beasts in the forest have protected us, and we are also nurturing the forest. The xylophyllite s are the most sacred and precious things that we think they are, but in the eyes of humans, they are merely useless objects.
“Thank you very much, this kind of xylophyllite formed from natural spirit energy. Honestly speaking, this is the first time I have seen it being so helpful to Xiao Nuo in his cultivation.”
The Fourth Lady nodded her head towards Mu Yuan, and said in his heart: This kind of xylophyllite is extremely rare, there are almost no xylophyllite on the market that are formed from wood energy.
After Tian Xiaonuo absorbed a certain amount of wood energy, the wood energy and the vein energy mixed together, and the vein gate started to surge. A heavy, muffled sound came from the lonely tree hole, and it was the meridian energy mixed with wood energy assaulting the meridian gate, but the meridian gate did not shatter.
Tian Xiaonuo’s dantian had a type of feeling of ascension, but that feeling only existed for an instant, like a light breeze that was unpredictable, like smoke that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tian Xiaonuo heaved a sigh of relief. After resting for a while, she continued to absorb the wood energy from the xylophyllite.
It looked like there was a limit to the xylophyllite’s wood energy, so he had to succeed this time!
Tian Xiaonuo did not move an inch as his body was immersed in the gentle wood energy. This kind of feeling was like taking a bath in the warm spring water, Tian Xiaonuo seemed to have merged with nature as the fireflies circled around Tian Xiaonuo one after another and then landed gently on Tian Xiaonuo’s body. However, Tian Xiaonuo did not notice this at all.
Fourth Lady originally thought that the deepest part of unforested forest would not be quiet at night, but she never thought that it would be so quiet that she would not even be able to hear the wind.
This was truly a mysterious place. It was clearly at the deepest part of unforested forest, but there were no Spirit Beasts here to disturb it.
A spot of light flew past Fourth Lady’s eyes, following its trajectory, she raised his head to look, and the fireflies above his head looked as beautiful as the stars in the sky.
Spirit beings did not eat meat, but there were different kinds of fruits in front of Tian Xiaonuo. The majority of them were things that Tian Xiaonuo had never seen before, the three meter tall spirit people sat around Tian Xiaonuo, making him seem extremely small.
The red fruit wine was mellow and not thick. It was said to have the effect of nourishing beauty and whiteness.
No wonder all the Spirit People looked so white and good. It was because they drank this thing.
Tian Xiaonuo muttered to herself.
Other than the fruit wine, there was another kind of fruit that left a deep impression on Tian Xiaonuo. It was a fruit wrapped in layers of bark, with the bark peeling open. Inside, there was a purple fruit the size of a thumb.
Mu Qin told Tian Xiaonuo that this was a “Wood Spirit Fruit”.
After eating it, one would recover their strength. Normally, this kind of fruit would only be eaten during ceremonies, but Mu Yuan, in order to be grateful to Tian Xiaonuo for saving his life, would only eat it at this time.
Tian Xiaonuo nodded her head, hesitated a little, and then placed the Wood Spirit Fruit into her mouth. It tasted like an apple, and was nothing special in the beginning, but slowly, Tian Xiaonuo felt that her entire body was filled with energy, and the fatigue in training disappeared.
“Saving you was just a small matter, not to mention, there was a spirit who once saved me. It’s just that I fainted at that time and don’t know who saved me, or else I would have thanked him properly, so you guys don’t need to be so grand.”
Tian Xiaonuo’s voice was soft enough, she did not expect that Mu Yuan, who was sitting far away, would still hear him.
She smiled, “This granddaughter of mine is the only one I’m worried about. You saved her, and also saved me. I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life.”
Mu Yuan’s kind laughter reminded Tian Xiaonuo of her late grandfather.
“Grandfather, could it be that a woman can only find a husband and then follow her husband around for the rest of her life? Isn’t this too boring? ”
Her childish voice rang beside Tian Xiaonuo’s ears.
“Who said that!?” Nonsense! Back then, your grandmother was a famous female hero in the martial arts world! At that time, my life was still saved by her, and in that case, I was the one who harmed her. If it wasn’t for saving me, she wouldn’t have lost her right hand, and might have been able to continue roaming the world, fulfilling her dream … “Sigh … I can only repay this favor to her in the next life.”
Tian Xiaonuo still remembered the tears in her grandfather’s eyes at that time.
However, at that time Tian Xiaonuo did not think too much into it. The young her was still angry with her father, how could she have noticed her grandfather’s sadness, “Father said that women should properly marry and not fight and kill like men all day long.”
