Sustained Purification

After receiving a definite answer from the Spirit of the Ancestral Stone, Xiao Ling felt a surge of secret delight. He immediately began weighing the pros and cons. If the Ancestral Stone handled the purification, would that not save a great many Bodhi Seeds?

Moreover, since his side was providing assistance, the Bodhi Seeds the ancient tree had originally intended to expend should naturally be placed at his disposal. Only then would the arrangement be fair and reasonable.

Xiao Ling raised his eyes toward the jade-green Bodhi Ancient Tree before him. His palm tightened slightly as he spoke with sincerity and certainty. "Senior, this junior may have a method that can help you cleanse the evil obsessions within your body, without needing to expend so many Bodhi Seeds."

After speaking, he paused briefly. His gaze fell upon the lustrous Bodhi Seeds floating before him as he added, "However, this junior boldly asks that if this method succeeds, could Senior give this junior the Bodhi Seeds you originally intended to use to purify those evil thoughts? This junior is not coveting treasure. It is simply that cultivation requires such assistance. I hope Senior will grant this request."

Having said that, he held his breath and waited for an answer, unable to suppress his unease. After all, this request sounded like trying to gain something for nothing. Though it would save the ancient tree from expending its origin energy, he was still indirectly asking for benefits. He was unsure whether this ancient tree, whose Spiritual Wisdom was not yet complete, could understand such a transaction.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree stood quietly for a moment. Then its emerald branches suddenly swayed gently, its leaves rustling as though it were carefully considering the deeper meaning of Xiao Ling's words. Sunlight filtered through the gaps
