After collecting the seven Inky Lotus Immortal Lotuses, Ling Xiao did not forget to collect the majority of the spring water here. This was a divine spring that was mixed with the essence of the tree's milk, so its healing effects were naturally quite good.
However, this was not the reason why Ling Xiao collected them. He planned to store them in the Apothecary Master's body to nourish and nourish these divine materials so that they could mature and advance faster.
At this time, Lu Weng looked at Ling Xiao and hesitated to speak, his expression somewhat unnatural.
Ling Xiao and Lu Weng had been together for a hundred years. Even if they were not telepathic, they could definitely sense each other's thoughts. He could tell at a glance that Lu Weng had something else to say.
"Does Elder Lu still have a good place to go that you're hiding from us?" Ling Xiao asked Lu Weng with a smile.
Lu Weng shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No!"
"Then do you have a problem with what I just did?
To be honest, Old Lü, you should be a bit more generous. Look, you still have so much Wood Origin Essence, it should be enough for you to absorb for a long time! "Ling Xiao thought that Lü Weng was unhappy and had no choice but to persuade him.
Lu Weng did not respond to Ling Xiao's words. Instead, he looked at the other three with a hint of hesitation.
Ling Chen, Yang Hai, and Pang Tongge knew that they had something to say and that there was nothing else for them to do, so they tactfully left the place.
"Elder Lu, tell me, what is it that makes you so embarrassed?" Ling Xiao asked.
At this time, Lu Weng sighed. "Young friend, I have been with you for over a hundred years, and you and I have taken care of each other all these years. Now that you are a Supreme of the Human Race and possess the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, this old man is quite gratified. I did not misjudge you back then!"
"Hehe, I have to thank Elder Lu for saving my life many times over these years!" Ling Xiao smiled politely.
Before he became stronger, Lu Weng had indeed used its energy to help him many times, and he had always kept this in mind.
However, he had also compensated Lu Weng quite a bit. In addition to nourishing it with spiritual liquid, he had also found a lot of wood-attribute divine objects for it to absorb over the years. Otherwise, how could it have advanced to its current level so quickly?
Lu Weng didn't dare to claim credit for this. "This is all because of little friend's great luck. It isn't just this old man's contribution!"
After a pause, it said, "Actually, I have something to tell you. I hope you can agree to it!"
"Old Lü, if you have something to say, just say it. Who are we?" Ling Xiao replied very generously.
Seeing Lu Weng in such a difficult situation, Ling Xiao wanted to cover up his Master Apothecary Lotus even more tightly, afraid that this fellow wanted his Inky Lotus Immortal.
If Lu Weng knew what Ling Xiao was thinking, he would certainly be very discontented. "How can this old man be as greedy as you?"
Lu Weng said, "I want to stay here and not leave!"
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment before his expression turned serious. "You mean you want to stay here forever?
Or only for a short period of time? "
For some reason, Ling Xiao already had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. It was as if he already knew Lu Weng's choice, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Lu Weng sighed and said, "As the Tree of Immortality, I am the incarnation of a heavenly species. I have long since understood Yin and Yang, the sun, and the moon, as well as the will of the heavens. Back then, I chose to follow you out of selfishness because I could already sense that you would bring me a great opportunity that would allow me to return to my peak. Now, it is just as I expected. Although little friend is accompanied by good and bad luck, your good luck is greater than the bad luck. Every time, you are able to turn bad luck into good luck, allowing you to achieve your current accomplishments. This natural spring cave was formed naturally during the primordial era, and it gathers the Wood Spirit Vein. For this old man, this is the best place to take root. Thus, this old man has decided not to follow little friend and will stay here forever. I hope little friend can understand this old man's painstaking efforts!"
Although Lu Weng was a tree spirit, he had been with Ling Xiao for a hundred years. He had already developed a reluctance to part with Ling Xiao. Now that he had made this choice, it was only after some deliberation that he revealed his decision to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had already guessed Lu Weng's decision, but when he heard it from his own mouth, he still felt reluctant and somewhat uncomfortable.
He was a sentimental person, and he wouldn't be fond of anything that belonged to him. On the contrary, the longer he was with them, the more sentimental he became.
Although he was reluctant to part with Lu Weng, he knew that Lu Weng staying here was truly the best choice!
"Old Lu, I sincerely thank you for your care for so many years. Since you have already made your decision, I will respect it. I hope that you will one day become a mighty existence like Lord Wutong!" Ling Xiao slightly bowed to Lu Weng and once again expressed his gratitude.
In recent years, Lu Weng hadn't been of much help to him, but in the process of his growth, he had provided an indelible and enormous assistance. It was worth it for him to bow to Lu Weng!
When Lu Weng heard that Ling Xiao approved of his decision, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
He was one of the Nine Great Divine Trees. No matter which human it was, they all wished to possess him and have him provide them with boundless assistance. In the past, he had been "exploited" by Ling Xiao many times, but that had always been under the condition of an exchange, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
However, when he truly wanted to leave, he was afraid that Ling Xiao wouldn't allow him to do so.
"Young friend, there is no need to be so polite. Although this old man has taken root here, I will forever recognize you as a human friend. If there is ever a need for this old man in the future, this old man naturally won't refuse. This old man wishes that Young Friend will one day become the strongest of the human race. This old man will also be proud of Young Friend!" Lu Weng sincerely said.
"Hehe, Old Lu's words are enough!"
Ling Xiao smiled and rubbed his hands together, "Old Lu, we have known each other for many years. Now that we are going to part forever, aren't you going to express your gratitude?"
Lu Weng's old face instantly turned green, "Young friend, this old man has already given you everything, what more do you want!"
Ling Xiao smiled again, "Hehe, Old Lu, you also know that I have many brothers and enemies. Whether it is me or them, our lives are in danger at any time. How could the little you have given me be enough? Why don't you leave me a thousand portions of tree sap, tree fruits, tree roots, and so on? You also know that I have never been a greedy person!"
Just as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Lu Weng directly fell to the ground. His green eyes rolled over and he spat out a green liquid.
"Hey, hey, Old Lu, there is no need to pretend to be dead. Do you think I don't know how much of my spiritual fluid you have absorbed over the years? I just didn't want to bicker with you. Now that I want something from you, you still want to pretend to be dead? You are too unkind!" Ling Xiao shouted in dissatisfaction!
Lu Weng was almost angered to death by Ling Xiao's words!
He had stayed in Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea for nourishment, but he had absolutely not absorbed any of his spiritual fluid!
It cried and shouted in its heart, "Little friend, where is your conscience?"
Lu Weng was quite shameless, directly lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. He believed that even Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to do anything to him!
Ling Xiao sneered, "Old Lu, you have to pay for what you have done. Do you think pretending to be dead is enough?
Believe it or not, I will pull out all of your beard right now. I believe that it will be enough for me! "
Lu Weng instantly jumped up from the ground and glared at Ling Xiao. His courageous and courageous aura made it seem as if he really wanted to have a good fight with Ling Xiao!
Ling Xiao did not show any weakness and continued to glare at Lu Weng!
After a long while, Lu Weng's expression collapsed and he revealed a pleading expression, "Young friend, please let this old man go. A thousand of each, isn't this asking for this old man's old bones?"
Ling Xiao said unhappily, "Old Lu, stop pretending. The wood attribute essence here is enough for you to continue growing stronger. You are only asking for this little bit of things, yet you are still crying and hovering between life and death. This is simply disregarding our hundred years of friendship. This Empress has truly misjudged you as a friend. This Empress doesn't want it anymore, you can keep it for yourself!"
Ling Xiao looked as if he had been betrayed by the person closest to him. It was as if he had been betrayed by the person closest to him!
Lu Weng was dumbfounded!
It seemed like he was being wronged. He didn't say that he wouldn't give it, but the amount that Ling Xiao asked for was too great. He had no choice but to do this!
It thought that Ling Xiao would bargain for a while, and in the end, he would just give Ling Xiao around a hundred servings, which was fine.
But now, this bastard actually didn't want it anymore.
He should be happy, but after hearing Ling Xiao's unbearable words, he felt too ashamed to show his face!
Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to leave the cave, Lu Weng hastily called out to Ling Xiao, "Young friend, you are right. This old man has let you down. Come over, this old man will agree to your request!"
Ling Xiao stopped and instantly flashed back to Lu Weng's side. He smiled and said, "This is our good friend. Hurry up and take it out. The sky is getting dark and I still have to hurry back!"
Lu Weng looked at Ling Xiao's drooling appearance and knew that he had been tricked by Ling Xiao!
He bitterly smiled and said, "Although this old man has stayed in your sea of knowledge for a hundred years, I have never learned the slightest bit of Young Friend's craftiness!"
At the same time, he took out the tree sap, fruits, and roots for Ling Xiao.
These were all things that he had accumulated over the years. Taking out even a little bit was incomparably painful!
Ling Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw Lu Weng's appearance, but he forcefully restrained himself. He thought to himself, "Old Lu is still too pure. There is no scheming or scheming here, and no one would dare to rashly come looking for him. I believe that he will be able to reach the peak soon!"
Ling Xiao stopped Lu Weng from taking out more items and said, "Alright, Old Lu, since we are friends, I will give you a fifty percent discount. These items are enough for me to use!"
There were several hundred portions in front of him, and it was enough for him to use for a long time!
Moreover, Lu Weng lived here, so he could come and find him at any time!
It wasn't like he wouldn't be able to find him after separating!
If Lu Weng knew what Ling Xiao was thinking, he would have been so angry that his tree trunk would have rotted and died!
This bastard was definitely an insatiably greedy fellow!
Lu Weng didn't know what Ling Xiao was thinking, and he was rather grateful for Ling Xiao's magnanimity!
Just as Ling Xiao was about to leave the cave, Lu Weng called out to Ling Xiao and said, "Young Friend, this old man still has something to give you. This is a third of my tree core. In the future, you might face a great tribulation, and it should be able to help you overcome it!
When you have the chance, you can take it! "
