Free Web NovelGolden Yuanbao and the other pet beasts, along with Lin Chen, stopped in their tracks when they saw Mingxi's inexplicable actions.
Only Emerald Green seemed to understand.
Mingxi uncorked the bottle and poured all the shimmering golden liquid onto the roots of an unknown vine tree, about half a person tall, with familiar leaves, located in the corner of the platform.
"Thank you for your protection and guidance just now. This is a medicinal fluid developed by my pet beast. I think it should be useful to you."
What Mingxi poured was Guiling Original Fluid, which is the basic Drawing Spirit medicinal fluid refined from Golden Feather Grass, Golden Lotus, and Myriad Spirit Stone Milk.
She did this not only because she genuinely wanted to thank this vine tree, which brought them a pleasant scent and could improve their physique, but also to confirm something.
To confirm that Guiling Original Fluid was useful to this vine tree.
She had already observed it just now.
Although it seemed to have developed sentience, it was still, in essence, a plant.
The leaves and stems of this vine, which could freely contract, were imprinted with rule characters. This was the first time Mingxi had seen rule characters on a plant.
Although the displayed patterns were very faint and some parts were clearly missing.
It was like it was malnourished.
Because the reverse god pillar had slightly supplemented her lack of knowledge regarding rule characters, even though the patterns were faint and incomplete, she recognized the rule characters carried by the vine tree at first glance.
On the leaves was 【Net】, which contained the meaning of purification and nourishment, while on the stems was 【Zheng】, which represented repair, improvement, enhancement, and clarity, uprightness, and elegance.
Both were extremely functional rule characters, thus Mingxi remembered them deeply and had already decided that they would be Drawing Spirits she would focus on practicing in the future.
And this vine tree actually miraculously contained two rule characters; even if they were not perfect, it was enough to show the extraordinary nature of this vine tree.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Mingxi poured the Guiling Original Fluid, the vine tree was like a fish out of water encountering a water source. Its white whiskers, rooted in the soil, spread out like infant fingers, greedily sucking up the sweet dew that seeped into the cracks in the ground.
In a short while, the Guiling Original Fluid was absorbed without a single drop remaining.
After that, the large, fan-like leaves on the vine tree seemed to have been nourished by a nutrient solution, and their already tender, Emerald Green color deepened.
They were like jade with excellent clarity, glossy, smooth, full, and translucent.
As if they were about to drip oil and water.
Mingxi immediately released her mental power, and sure enough, the two incomplete rule characters were like flowing water leading a spring, drawing strands of golden silk, completing the missing patterns, and then repeatedly tracing them over and over again.
The originally faint color continuously deepened, and the thin lines continuously thickened.
Until those invisible yet seemingly tangible golden threads were completely worn away.
"Buzz—"
A faint, ethereal sound.
The half-person-tall vine tree seemed to suddenly shiver.
The entire tree straightened its trunk, and the originally curled vines stretched their joints in the night wind like awakened octopus tentacles.
"Crack!" freewebnovel.cσ๓
Several tender buds burst from the top of the vine tree, and then began to grow wildly under the night dew. In the moonlight, one could clearly see the fine glistening water on its fuzz.
The entire tree's leaves and vines seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, exuding a restrained divine light.
The halo gently swayed like waves.
New light green bark quickly emerged from the cracked areas of the tree bark, like children on New Year's Day happily shedding their old clothes.
The tree canopy visibly expanded, and the trunk grew more than two meters taller. In a short time, it was already a scene of lush branches and leaves, standing tall and grand like a canopy.
"Wow!"
Because of the obvious changes, Lin Chen and his two companions, and their inexperienced pet beasts, all gasped, their eyes wide like copper bells, and their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
"Living long enough to see this!"
"Xiao Xi, what kind of miraculous elixir did you pour? How could it make this vine tree suddenly grow so big? Even with hormones, it wouldn't be this exaggerated!"
Chu Fengfeng was truly curious and couldn't help but exclaim.
Mingxi explained, "A special potion made by Emerald Green. Its effect...hmm...it's hard to explain clearly right now."
"Another day of disliking my own pet beast."
Chu Fengfeng looked at Emerald Green with admiration.
Alas.
This is someone else's pet beast.
Then looking at her own, they don't make a sound when looked at.
No comparison, no harm.
And her harm was so great.
"Crack."
A section of a vine branch suddenly broke off and very coincidentally fell into Mingxi's hand.
"Whoosh!"
The vine tree swayed happily, as if singing an ancient, joyful song.
"This vine branch...could it be...it's returning the favor?"
Chu Fengfeng and Chen Xin squeezed their heads next to Mingxi, curiously staring at the unremarkable vine branch in her hand, as if trying to see a flower bloom from it.
"Probably."
Mingxi looked at the vine branch in her hand, and her heart stirred.
She placed it into the Time Realm.
The vine branch was not repelled by the rules of the Time Realm, indicating that it was indeed just a plant, not a plant-type Transcendent creature.
"Guangguang, try to plant it in the botanical garden."
A plant that possesses the two {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} functional rule characters of 【Net】 and 【Zheng】, if the Time Realm could also grow it, wouldn't she and Golden Yuanbao be able to enjoy the joy of 'painless physical and mental progress' every day?
"Received! Master."
Guangguang was also very interested in this magical plant. She had already efficiently planned the planting area and planted the vine branch in the infant soil.
Lin Chen and his two companions had no particular thoughts when they saw her put away the vine branch.
Didn't they know that the vine branch was a rare treasure?
If they weren't foolish, it would be impossible for them not to know.
They also understood that no matter how precious this vine branch was, it had nothing to do with them.
It was because Mingxi helped the vine tree that the vine tree offered it as a gift.
It had absolutely no relation to them.
They could be envious, but they definitely could not selfishly demand it.
Fortunately, they were indeed not greedy people.
Just then, a light suddenly shone in the center of the grand hall.
The ancient bronze gate behind the nine beast-shaped stone pillars slowly opened, faintly emanating a mysterious aura from within.
"It seems we should go in," Mingxi said, raising her hand to touch a leaf of the vine tree. "Thank you again for your guidance."
Everyone walked towards the open grand hall.
When all of them and their pet beasts had stepped through the door, the ancient bronze gate behind them closed again with a thud.
And the space before Mingxi and the others instantly underwent a strange change.
Ancient runes appeared on the surrounding walls, flickering with light, as if narrating endless stories.
The ground beneath their feet was like a flowing galaxy, every step seemingly treading upon the mysteries of the universe.
Suddenly, a vast and ethereal phantom appeared in front of everyone, its voice ringing out like a great bell: "Welcome to the Nine Gods Temple, distinguished guests from afar!"
Mingxi and the others did not move.
But the scene before them changed again.
Darkness receded, and light Descent.
Everything suddenly became clear.
Everyone's hearts fluctuated. Was the mysterious veil of the Nine Gods Temple finally about to be unveiled?
