Qingqiu Fox Ancestress, Mulberry Spirit Root

Wu Chu sighed inwardly at this, but then he thought that even if the Fox Ancestress hadn't missed meeting with Ancestor Hongjun, given the Ancestor's lukewarm attitude towards the Little Fox, he probably wouldn't have given this Fox Ancestress a friendly look either.

After all, the patriarch was such a proper person, yet he encountered such an improper vixen...

Furthermore, will the Fox Ancestress be among the Three Thousand Guests of Purple Cloud in the future?

It's unlikely that they exist. If they did, the Fox Clan wouldn't need to rely on the strong for survival, and Fox Clan descendants wouldn't be so disliked.

Given that the Qingqiu Fox Clan was already famous throughout the prehistoric Primordial World at this time, the Fox Ancestress's cultivation level should not be too bad; he should at least be at the Daluo Realm!

With his cultivation at the Daluo Realm, he was fully qualified to attend lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace.

However, in later generations, Qingqiu gradually became a legendary place, so it is very likely that the Fox Clan was scattered during this Dragon-Phoenix Calamity. The Fox Clan scattered and wandered all over the world. Although the story of the descendants of Qingqiu has been passed down, few people mention the Qingqiu Fox Ancestor anymore.

Does this mean that this Fox Clan ancestor will die in the future? And it's very likely that he will die during this Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, before he can live to see the Dao Ancestor's lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace?

Such speculation is not entirely unfounded by Wu Chu. After the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the Three Clans most powerful races were almost entirely wiped out, let alone the other races. Moreover, the Qingqiu Fox Clan was not a race known for its military prowess; it was already a miracle that they were not completely exterminated.

Thinking that this stunningly beautiful fox spirit would one day perish, Wu Chu felt a pang of regret, lamenting that he had no power to save her!

Wu Chu sighed softly and said, "To be honest, Fellow Qingqiu, the owner of that vast Purple Qi was a senior. That senior stayed in this Purple Jade Mountain for several years and just left a few months ago. If you had come earlier, you might have been able to see him."

Upon hearing Wu Chu's words, the Fox Ancestress's expression faltered, and his smile became somewhat unnatural. He finally sighed softly, a hint of self-pity in his voice, "It seems I am unfortunate to have failed to encounter such a senior. I fear you may laugh at me, but my Fox Clan is inherently weak and must seek the protection of a strong person to establish ourselves in this world. It was better in the past, but now..."

Perhaps only this Fox Ancestress could understand the immense pressure she was under! Other Qingqiu Fox Clan probably wouldn't think this way. Even the Little Fox felt that their Qingqiu Fox Clan was incredibly powerful, and that once they reached adulthood, they would possess the cultivation of Golden Immortal!

Golden Immortal possess Indestructible Spirit Light and can live forever!

However, what does the cultivation level of Golden Immortal mean in this Primordial Land? In an era where even Daluo Immortals are everywhere, a mere Golden Immortal can be wiped out with a flick of the finger!

Wu Chu raised his wine cup, gesturing for her to drink. After taking a sip, he said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so anxious. Now that the Qingqiu Fox Clan is divided into three, and Qingqiu Qingqiu, with the land protected by array formations, even if conflicts arise among the Three Clans in the future, they should still give the Qingqiu Fox Clan face. I don't think there will be any major problems!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but wonder: Had his suggestion to split the Qingqiu Fox Clan into three, each affiliated with one of the Three Clans, inadvertently altered the future of the Qingqiu Fox Clan?

As long as the Qingqiu Fox Clan doesn't act recklessly and secretly communicate with each other, the Three Clans Qingqiu Fox Clan shouldn't forcefully make things difficult for them!

Although this fence-sitting approach is disgusting, isn't it still a way of treating everyone fairly?

"Speaking of which, our Qingqiu Clan has not yet formally thanked you, fellow Daoist!"

As the Fox Ancestress spoke, he took out a huge bead from his sleeve. In fact, it was not a real bead, but an Innate Spirit Root shrouded in spiritual light. The spiritual light formed a membrane around the Spirit Root, and that luminous membrane looked like a bead.

"I once heard Seventeen (Qingqiu Chen) mention that you like to collect various fruits and crop Spirit Root. This Mulberry Fruit Spirit Root is something I obtained when I was young and traveling the world. It sprouts in spring and is harvested in summer. The fruit can be made into sweet juice and can also be used for brewing..."

As the Fox Ancestress spoke, he pushed the ball toward Wu Chu.

Wu Chu stared blankly at the ball, at the Mulberry Tree inside it.

Mulberries, aren't they just mulberries? They're a great ingredient for raising silkworms!

With this, Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple can retire from silkworm rearing, since this is the Celestial Silkworm's favorite food.

The Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple was already annoyed by those silkworms; if Wu Chu hadn't used Merit to lure them, it wouldn't have been happy at all! I wonder if this Mulberry Tree is happy about it.

Of course, even if you don't want to, you have no choice!

Silkworms feed on mulberry leaves. Although this is a choice made by the seasons, it is also because mulberry leaves are the most delicious food for them, which is why they make this choice.

"It's just that the grade isn't very high, so I hope you won't find it offensive!"

That's what she said, but seeing the astonishment and smile on Wu Chu's face, the Fox Ancestress knew that she had chosen the right gift this time.

Indeed, the value of a gift is not important; what matters is giving the right gift.

It seems this Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves really loves these fruits and crops!

"Whether the gift is expensive or not is not important; what matters is whether the recipient likes it," Wu Chu said with a smile, revealing her true feelings. She then Qingqiu Chen, "Actually, I shouldn't have accepted your gift again, since Qingqiu Chen already gave me one when I talked to you about those things. But the gift you gave me was truly to my liking, and I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't resist its temptation..."

Wu Chu gave an awkward yet polite smile.

The Fox Ancestress laughed and said, "If this allows our clan to gain a foothold among the Three Clans, then no gift, however precious, would be too much. However, after much thought, I feel that perhaps only this Spirit Root can meet your expectations. Since you like it, then my efforts have not been in vain."

Although it was only a mid-grade Innate Spirit Root, incomparable to a top-grade Innate Spirit Root, let alone comparable to the Fusang Tree, the ancestor of Fusang Tree Mulberry Tree, Wu Chu really liked it.

However, this Mulberry Tree should not be closely related to the ancestral Fusang Tree, the Mulberry Tree. After all, the Fusang Tree is a fire spirit Sacred Tree born from fire, the dwelling place of the Golden Crow, and naturally possesses a powerful Fire Origin. This Mulberry Tree, on Spirit Root other hand, has no Fire Spirit Power whatsoever.

Wu Chu casually tossed the ball of light in his hand outwards, sending the Mulberry Tree wood ball flying out of the hall and into the valley below the treetops, where it took root on a cliff deep within the Flower Valley.

The area around the spiritual spring deep in the Flower Valley was almost entirely occupied by the Twelve Divine Flowers, while the outside was covered by a hundred flowers. Although the Mulberry Tree was a mid-grade Innate Spirit Root, it was still no match for the Twelve Divine Flowers, so it could only settle down on the cliff behind the valley.

However, even though it is a cliff, it is not very high, only a few hundred meters high. Compared to the Flower Mountain behind it, it is almost the same height as the foot of the mountain.

After the Mulberry Tree took root, the branches and leaves of the Sacred Tree, Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple Tree, began to tremble gently. The silkworms that had settled on its branches and leaves were shaken off and flew to the Mulberry Tree, which was over three hundred feet tall.

After all the silkworms were shaken off, the branches and leaves of the Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple rustled, as if it had finally shaken off a burden and felt completely relaxed.

The silkworms that had once lived on the branches and leaves of the Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple, after a moment of panic, seemed to have smelled a more pleasant aroma of food, and slowly relaxed, beginning to nibble on the mulberry leaves.

Even the two Primordial Celestial Silkworm that had been sleeping in their cocoons for years were now awakened, crawling out of their cocoons and revealing a figure completely different from the other Celestial Silkworm.

Wu Chu didn't know which transformation these two Celestial Silkworm had completed, or whether this transformation was even complete. In any case, he felt that these two silkworms had grown a lot longer than before, and their heads looked somewhat like dragon heads, but they were still clearly silkworms.

Wu Chu had serious doubts: had their metamorphosis failed?

Although puzzled, he couldn't delve into it at this moment. Instead, he said to the Qingqiu Fox Ancestor, "It's rare for Qingqiu to come to our Purple Jade Mountain. Why not stay a few more days and experience the unique features of our Purple Jade Mountain? Fei'er, Shi'er, play the music!"

"Hey! They're here!"
