Chapter 763.
Chapter 763 – The Willing One
Xu Chuniang set up the stones and then sat down on her knees, so that a stall was born.
She faintly said, “Now the city is tightly regulated, rashly looking for the tree people, on the one hand, attract attention, and on the other hand, may not be able to easily win the trust of the tree people.”
She had deliberately paid attention to the tree people just now, and found that they were very interested in spiritual plants and things that promoted the growth of spiritual plants.
Setting up a small stall here might seem like being caught in a passive situation, but in reality it was a straight hook fishing for the willing.
Skywatcher looked serious, “It seems to be the case that if you let the tree people take the initiative to find you and beg you to go to the Tree People Kingdom, you won’t attract suspicion.”
After Xu Chuniang set the stone out, it quickly attracted some attention.
Some people who were interested in the divine tree gathered around her stall and asked.
“This ancestral divine tree of yours, what grade is it? It’s the Law of Healing and the Law of Life again, is it really that divine?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly and said without panicking.
“The grade of this divine tree of mine is not high, but the power of the Laws it contains is genuine, whether it’s healing injuries or nourishing Divine Sense, or cultivating spiritual plants, the effects are all first-rate.”
“Then how many spirit crystals do I need if I want to use this divine tree of yours?”
“This Divine Tree of mine has a tricky mouth, it refuses to absorb the aura from non-top-grade spirit crystals, if you want to ask the Divine Tree to take action, you will need at least a hundred top-grade spirit crystals.”
“One hundred top grade spirit crystals!”
In the crowd, someone exclaimed in shock, “If it’s replaced with lower grade spirit crystals, wouldn’t it be a million?”
“What kind of divine tree is so expensive, just to treat an injury, it’s asking for a million spirit crystals, it’s too dark, it can’t be a fraud, right?”
There was no wonder why the group was furious, a million spirit crystals was an astronomical figure, even a Void Refining Stage cultivator would need many years to accumulate that much wealth.
A million spirit crystals could almost buy a Houtian spirit object.
“Fellow Daoist, you are charging too much for this, how about this, you will take out the divine tree for us to have a look, if the divine tree is really as divine as you say, we will be convinced.”
“Right, dare to charge so much, must have something to rely on.”
Under the crowd’s expectant gazes, they saw the bearded male cultivator smile nervously and shake his head.
“This divine tree of mine is a family heirloom, and shall not be easily shown to others, if you all want to see the divine tree, you only need a hundred top-grade spirit crystals.”
The crowd dispersed in a flurry, and before they left, they didn’t forget to sweep over the stall owner with contemptuous eyes.
“You want to go crazy thinking about spirit crystals, don’t you? I’ve seen this trick of yours eight hundred years ago.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, people who are stupid and have a lot of money won’t fall for this kind of trick.”
“The rent for this lot is not cheap, let’s see how many days he can stay here.”
Soon, the people who had gathered in front of the stall were gone.
The news that a con man had come to West Extreme City also spread.
Skywatcher was speechless, “How else are you going to lure the tree people here when you’ve scared the people away and you’re being treated as a liar?”
“If they truly want the help of the divine tree, they will naturally come.”
Xu Chuniang, however, was not in a hurry and was not annoyed, anyway, her target was not a human cultivator to begin with.
The news spread, but instead, it was to her advantage.
Within a few days, all the cultivators in the entire West Extreme City had heard about the “Divine Tree”.
Even the Tree Man had heard about it.
“Wu Shen, have you heard that there is a new cultivator in the city who carries the Divine Tree, and it is said that this Divine Tree possesses the Laws of Healing and the Laws of Life, which are very marvelous.”
Wu Shen shook his head, “Gui Zhi, you’ve just come to West Extreme City, you’re still not clear about it, human cultivators are fond of exaggerating, nine times out of ten, this Divine Tree is a fake, and that cultivator is a liar as well.”
Gui Zhi frowned doubtfully, “Is it even a fake? Why would he do that?” “Naturally, it’s to cheat the spirit crystals, human cultivators are treacherous, far beyond what you and I can imagine. You’ll naturally know after you’ve been in this West Extreme City for a long time.”
Wu Shen paused and continued.
“I once took a look at that person from afar, he claimed that the divine tree in his hand was marvelous, but no one knows what exactly that divine tree of his is.”
Gui Zhi blinked, “Since no one has seen the Divine Tree in his hands, then he’s not quite a liar, right?”
Wu Shen froze, not knowing how to refute her.
Gui Zhi, however, was all excited, “In that case, maybe the divine tree is real?”
Wu Shen thought for a moment, “What you said does make a bit of sense, but with my understanding of the Human Race, it’s 80% that he’s playing a trick.”
“But with the illness of the king of my clan, there’s no time for that, is there?”
A trace of sadness appeared in Gui Zhi’s eyes, “I, the Tree People Clan, have comprehended the Laws of Life in a few, but I just can’t save my fellow clan members!”
Thinking of the king’s illness, Wu Shen also fell silent in a rare moment.
Only after a long time did he say, “The king is a Transitional Cultivator, and this was originally his calamity.
That cultivator’s cultivation level is only at the early stage of Refining Void, even you and I are not as good as that, so how can he help the king.”
“I know, but didn’t we travel all the way to West Pole City just to seek spiritual medicine for the king? Seeing that there is a glimmer of hope, how do I have to part with it?”
Gui Zhi’s eyes revealed a hint of obstinacy, “We were raised by the king himself, I can’t just watch him wither and die.”
Wu Shen let out a dark sigh, “Alright, since you insist, then I will accompany you on your journey to see what that divine tree really is.
But don’t blame me for not reminding you, don’t get your hopes up!”
Gui Zhi’s expression softened a lot, “I know, I just want to give it a try too.”
Wu Shen and Gui Zhi walked towards the street, and it wasn’t long before they saw the cold stall with a stone standing in the distance, and the middle-aged male cultivator with a long beard.
Skywatcher stretched his neck for four or five days, and was excited to see that he had finally waited for the two tree people.
“Xu …… Xu kid, there are tree people coming towards us!”
“I know.”
Xu Chuniang transmitted a divine thought towards the Skywatcher, still without the intention of opening his eyes.
It wasn’t until the two tree people walked up to the stall that they opened their eyes unsteadily and swept them over the two.
There was some dissatisfaction in Wu Shen’s heart, this stall owner was too rude.
Gui Zhi, however, opened her eyes wide and surveyed him curiously.
In his hands, was there really a divine tree?
She asked curiously, “The divine tree in the hands of the Taoist friend, can it cure any disease?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, “The Law of Healing, which can cure all injuries in the world, and the Law of Life, which can fight against the power of death.
This divine tree of mine happens to possess the power of both of these laws at the same time.”
Gui Zhi’s eyes lit up, feeling more and more convinced that what he said was believable.
Wu Shen, however, scoffed, most of the spiritual objects in the world only contained one type of law power.
There are also spiritual creatures that contain the power of two laws, but not many, and the power of these two laws is often a pair of twin laws.
For example, the Fruit of Reincarnation of Good and Evil, the Yin-Yang Twin Flower, and the Grass of Life and Death were spiritual objects that contained a pair of Twin Laws.
The Law of Healing and the Law of Life were not twin laws, so how could they appear within the same divine tree at the same time?
