The Master Of Spirit Plants - Chapter 522

Xiao Jinting walked with Xu Muan and Xiao Xiaodong. Flame perched on Xiao Jinting’s shoulder and stared ferociously at the pheasant on Xiao Xiaodong’s shoulder.

Flame said with a smirk, “It’s a mirage dragon. It likes to play tricks. I once ate a mirage dragon, which created illusions of beauties to trap the horny men. Before I killed it, it had eaten quite some established cultivators of the great sects. It was a good deed to kill it.”

Xiao Jinting rolled his eyes. “Come on. Stop boasting. You are more ferocious than the mirage dragon which ate the horny men.”

Flame looked at the pheasant greedily and asked, “Can I eat it? Although it looks much inferior to the mirage dragon that I ate, it has the dragon bloodline. It’s rare.”

Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. He said sullenly, “No, you can’t.”

Flame said in anger, “You don’t let me eat anything. You can’t maltreat me like this. I need food. I need nutrition.”

Xiao Jinting said sulkily, “Bear with it.”

Flame was speechless.

Xiao Xiaodong looked at the mirage dragon on his shoulder and rubbed his nose helplessly, thinking, “Father is awesome. My demonic beast is arrogant, but it turns into a coward in the presence of Father’s beast.”

Xiao Jinting asked, “Little Pheasant, where shall we go now?”

The pheasant would have flown into a rage if Flame had not been around. It pointed out the direction quietly.

Xiao Jinting looked at the pheasant and thought, “My son’s demonic beast is snobbish. It used to be arrogant with me, but it is timid when Flame is around. The pheasant seems to be scared of the dumb beast on my shoulder instead of me.”

He asked, “Shall we go that way?”

The pheasant nodded docilely and said, “Yes.”

…

They sailed at sea for a long time.

According to the pheasant, the Tree of Life was on an immortal mountain in the ocean. It was shrouded by the mist, invisible to ordinary people. It took sharp eyes that could see through all the illusions to behold the mountain.

They sailed at sea for over six months and found nothing.

Flame giggled. “Little Pheasant, can you find the tree? If you can’t, admit it. Let me swallow you so you can go to heaven soon.”

Xiao Jinting said, “Cut it out. Be patient. It’s been only six months.”

Flame said sulkily, “We found nothing in the six months. Don’t you think we are wasting time?”

Xiao Jinting said lightly, “Are we wasting time? Didn’t you say you slept for a thousand years after having a good meal?”

Flame frowned and said, “It’s different.”

“Don’t argue. Be patient.” After sailing at sea for two years, they spotted a mountain.

Xiao Jinting asked, “Is that the mountain? It looks ordinary. And there is no tree.”

The pheasant held its head high and said confidently that it was the immortal mountain.

They went to the mountain. Xiao Jinting frowned.

He said, “The spiritual Qi here is not rich.”

It was a deserted island. Xu Muan wandered around and saw a barren herb garden.

They heard a gasp. Xiao Jinting followed the sound and saw a naked child.

The child disappeared at the sight of Xiao Jinting.

Xiao Xiaodong said in confusion, “Is there anyone living on the immortal mountain?”

Xu Muan shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. There are no traces of humans. The child is odd.”

Flame said with a grin, “That’s not a child. It’s jade ginseng, which has transformed into a human. It’s nutritious.”

Xiao Jinting was surprised. Ginseng was a rare treasure in his previous world, but it was common in the Spiritual World. However, transformed ginseng was very rare. He wondered how the ginseng could transform in a place where the spiritual Qi was thin.

Xu Muan asked, “Shall I uproot the ginseng?”

Xiao Jinting said with a nod, “Please.”

Xu Muan cast a restriction spell on the ground, and the jade ginseng was caught after a while.

The naked child shook his legs. “Don’t eat me. I’m not yummy.”

Xiao Jinting was speechless.

Flame said with disdain, “Ginseng is not valuable. Once it transforms into a human, it runs around. The ginseng doesn’t look good, but it can transform. It looks like it has encountered something unusual.”

Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes and looked at the struggling child in his hand. “He seems to have the smell of Tree of Life.”
