Chapter 162 Nectar
At first, Wei Wenxin was unsure of its temper, so she simply took the flower pot to the tea garden.
"What kind of place would you prefer to take root in? I'll open the protective shield and you can choose!"
The tea tree spirit looks very small, but many of its leaves are already burnt. I guess the environment it lived in was not very good.
After waiting for a while, a small, tender green tea tree spirit separated from the trunk, about half a foot tall.
She grabbed the edge of the flowerpot, looked around, and immediately shrank back.
"It's so dark, I'm scared~"
Her voice was tender and thin, and she looked very panicked.
Wei Wenxin snapped his fingers, and a light golden fire net appeared in the air, illuminating the tea garden as bright as day.
"Well, you don't have to be afraid now. Go and see your new home!"
As a result, the tea tree spirit screamed and returned to its body in the blink of an eye.
Realizing that the plant elves were afraid of fire, Wei Wenxin touched his nose and embarrassedly put away the fire net.
The surroundings became dark again.
The tea tree spirit was so scared that he covered his mouth and sobbed softly.
Wei Wenxin sighed: "Don't be afraid~ Wait a minute, I'll make you a fallen leaf lamp."
She didn't want to be alone at all now.
Because of the projection of the residual soul, she now constantly recalled every moment she spent with the ancestor in her mind.
When someone close to you dies, the sadness is always intense.
But people are good at forgetting.
In other words, they are good at self-protection.
No matter how painful it is at the time, the feeling will fade over time.
It is not until you recall the past bit by bit in your daily life and feel the dull pain coming over you that you will truly understand the true meaning of death.
From now on, he will no longer exist in my life, and there will no longer be him in this world.
On winter nights, the tea garden was dark and the dew was heavy, but Wei Wenxin did not find it unbearable.
Probably because there are other living beings accompanying us.
Even though they are not of the same species, the loneliness that lingers around me gradually dissipates because of it.
Wei Wenxin didn't care about anything. He just put a bamboo mat on the ground, sat there, and started to work.
A housewarming party was held recently and Zi Yu was a bit too busy. The fallen leaves in the tea garden have not yet been cleaned up, and the spiritual light at the top has not yet dissipated.
The structure of the Lingshi lamp is very simple.
The spiritual material is refined into the shape of a lantern, engraved with the Changming Array, and a spiritual stone is inserted in the middle, which will emit a bright and gentle light.
Taking the size of the tea tree spirit into consideration, Wei Wenxin used relatively high-grade spiritual wood when refining the frame, and carved an additional formation that could allow the lamp to grow or shrink.
"When you grow up, it won't be out of place."
Speaking of this, Wei Wenxin felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry again.
Immortals and mortals live together in Wanjian City. Mortals celebrate the Lantern Festival, which has lanterns. Over time, immortal cultivators also go to join in the fun.
Every year on this day, the disciples would put on beautiful clothes and go into the city in groups of three or four.
Wei Wenxin also went there often when she was a child.
In order to keep her staying at their stalls for a while longer, the merchants would generously give her lanterns.
The lanterns were exquisite and some were taller than she was.
This was the first time that Master raised a child, and he was a male cultivator. Many times, he didn’t think too much before doing things. When he saw that she couldn’t carry the child, he would always hang the child directly under the eaves when he got home.
After the Lantern Festival, her house will be hung with all kinds of lanterns.
Because she has a good temper, magical animals and birds often come to her yard to gather in the middle of the night.
Although setting up the formation did not affect her rest, she could always see delicious fruits and beautiful flowers at the door at dawn.
I was very happy at first, but after a while I found it boring and began to envy the older sisters who could carry lanterns and go out for night walks.
In the past, lanterns were filled with candles, and people did not make particularly exquisite small lanterns to sell to young children because they were prone to fire.
The master would ask her to eat more and grow up quickly, but the ancestor would take it away and carve a shrinking formation on it for her, and then replace the candles with spirit stones.
The big lantern suddenly became delicate and safe, allowing her to carry it everywhere.
Because it is powered by spiritual stones, she can still carry it around even after the Lantern Festival has been over for a long time.
Since then, such small lanterns have been sold in the city during every lantern festival.
Because it uses spirit stones and needs to carve array formations, it cannot be done by non-cultivators, so the price is naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people...
"Are you crying?"
The tea tree spirit grabbed the flowerpot and carefully poked its head out.
Its skin is very white, but its hair is light green, and because it is so small, its eyes look like two black beans.
Wei Wenxin blinked: "That's not the case. It's just that the wind is strong at night and it hurts my eyes."
"Why don't you go home first!"
"Oh, that's not necessary. You just came to my house and you're not familiar with it yet. I thought I could accompany you more." Perhaps after more communication, the tea tree spirit gradually became less shy.
It flipped out of the flowerpot, slowly walked to Wei Wenxin's side, hugged its knees with its hands, and sat on the bamboo mat.
Wei Wenxin was concentrating on making the spirit stone lamp at hand and ignored it.
Perhaps out of boredom, it sat for a while and then began to walk around the bamboo mat.
The soil in the tea garden is loose, slightly sour and fertile. The humidity in the air is also just right. There are also two trees that seem to have some spirituality, so I'm sure I won't be lonely in the future.
The tea tree spirit shook twice and then his face was filled with joy:
"Sure enough, she didn't lie to me! She took me away to help me live in a better place!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wen paused, his heart skipping a beat!
Damn it, is he naive or really stupid?
After being sold out, you still rush to count spirit stones for others?
You have to be careful not to get kidnapped.
She thought so in her heart but did not say it out loud. Instead, she stretched out her hand and handed the spirit stone lamp to it.
"Recognize the master here, and then input spiritual power. The light can become bigger or smaller, brighter or dimmer. Here in the middle is the place to insert the spiritual stone. The bigger and brighter the light is, the faster the spiritual stone will be consumed."
The tea tree spirit obediently recognized its master and changed the lamp to the size of a child's fist. The master felt it was too dazzling, so he dimmed the light a little.
This is truly a new and novel experience for it, and it is extremely happy!
"I like this light! I like it here! I like you too!"
Wei Wenxin smiled, stretched out her hand, and asked her to sit on her shoulders: "Come on, it's almost dawn, I have to take you to see the tea garden and find a place you like to plant your tea trees."
However, as soon as the tea tree spirit approached her, it couldn't help but sneeze loudly!
"A-choo - you're so hot! I feel panicky when I get too close to you. It reminds me of the fire-breathing dragon that broke into my house."
Plant elves are afraid of fire, so Wei Wenxin didn't make things difficult for them.
As soon as Zi Yu was called out, a fat bamboo shoot immediately emerged from the ground.
The tall and thin Zi Yu crawled out from the bamboo shoot shell in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes Wei Wenxin even wondered whether this guy’s roots had spread to every corner of this mountain.
"Owner……"
Zi Yu had just fallen asleep for a while. She came over rubbing her eyes and yawning. There was a little tea tree spirit in her hand. She couldn't help but smile:
"He's still a little kid after all!"
As a fellow plant-type elf, the tea tree elf liked Zi Yu very much and started introducing herself as soon as they met.
"Senior Zhuzi, my name is Ganlu, what's your name?"
"My name is Ziyu. I live in the bamboo forest over there. If you're bored, you can come and play with me."
Zi Yu was very happy to see that it was a very easy-going tea tree spirit, not as squeamish as the other tea tree spirits in the sect.
Perhaps yawning is the most contagious thing.
In addition, Wei Wenxin hadn't slept for a long time. As soon as Zi Yu stopped yawning, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and yawned loudly.
"Let's go, let's find a place to settle down first."
The place was quickly chosen.
It chose to live on the east side of the tea garden, with its back against a huge rock and overlooking the entire tea garden.
Zi Yu was very enthusiastic. She dug a hole for it and helped it move the flower pot over.
Ganlu drilled back into the body and saw that the roots of the tea tree were entangled with each other. In the blink of an eye, they became two legs. With a light step, they came out of the flowerpot.
It jumped into the pit, adjusted its posture, and asked Ziyu for help to fill the soil in the flowerpot under its feet.
"This is the soil of my hometown. When I was still a seed, I sprouted here."
When Zi Yu saw that its leaves were burnt, she asked about its fate with concern.
It is darkest before dawn, and the moment when the sky suddenly brightens is also the most stunning.
Wei Wenxin hadn't seen the sunrise for a long time, so he sat cross-legged on the huge rock, staring at the east in a daze.
The two plant elves started chatting behind her.
Ganlu told Ziyu again about the Charizard that broke into the house. Ziyu was heartbroken, but it didn't care at all.
"I am satisfied just to be alive! Now I have come to a safe place, with abundant spiritual power, a kind master, and you treat me sincerely. I will only get better and better. When next spring comes, I will sprout new buds and grow new branches. I will live happily every day from now on!"
The sweet dew shook the scorched branches and leaves, which immediately turned into powder and fell down.
Then the roots turned over and gathered the powder under their feet.
"As for these, they will become my nourishment and help me grow better."
"What a pity! There are so many leaves."
"What's so regrettable? I will always remember how they were green, absorbing the essence of the scorching sun under the sun and transforming it into nutrients for my growth under the moonlight..."
Perhaps the long journey made her very tired, and she fell asleep while talking.
“That’s what life is all about!”
Wei Wenxin's eyes were stunned.
I thought he was a fool enough to be sold out but still count the spirit stones for others, but I didn't expect he was actually a philosopher.
