If There Was No Great Tree, Raise One Up, and One Could Still Enjoy Its Shade

"Master, this time it's..."

Inside the ruins, Gu Chen was about to ask a question.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

When they saw the mountain range that had appeared out of nowhere, formed by Origin Spirit Vein, their movements suddenly froze.

"This..."

Gu Chen stared for a long time before finally turning his head with difficulty to look at Lu Changzhi, swallowing hard.

"Master, isn't this too terrible?"

The places where he usually cultivates are already filled with very rich spiritual energy.

But compared to here now.

That's the only way to describe it.

One is drinking sugar water, the other is living in a honey pot.

"You'll get used to it," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

Who knows what other problems the system might cause itself in the future.

Only by remaining calm can one avoid being disturbed.

Gu Chen nodded seriously, and after calming his emotions for a moment, he asked:

"Master, what are we going to do?"

Lu Changzhi took out the flying boat and said:

"Go and pick out some good meat for the sect leader."

Then, the flying boat headed towards the location of the Dragon-Imprisoning Stake.

The Iron-Armored Brown Ape glanced at the two departing figures.

Although we don't know exactly what happened.

But during this time, that powerful being roared quite a bit.

However, for it, this is actually a good opportunity to hone its courage.

The Iron-Armored Brown Ape waited quietly.

Sure enough, a short while later, a somewhat familiar roar came over.

At the same time, the feeling that it instinctively feared also arose.

The Iron-Armored Brown Ape's chest heaved violently, and every hair on its massive body stood on end.

Thump, thump.

A strong, powerful heartbeat resounded in my chest, like the beating of a drum.

Within his powerful physical body, his vital energy surged like a waterfall cascading down a cliff.

All the surrounding demonic and spiritual beasts were filled with fear under this overwhelming power.

Only the Iron-Armored Brown Ape remained standing.

Even more so, it tries to raise its head in response to its instinctive fear.

During this time, it was not idle, except for taking care of the fruit trees.

The surrounding space was already filled with many delicious spiritual fruits.

It used these spiritual fruits to exchange for quite a few delicious treats.

Among them is something called "dried meat," which makes you feel warm all over after eating it, but I don't know where that comes from.

The Iron-Armored Brown Ape focused intently on suppressing its primal instincts.

At this moment, the angry roar suddenly turned into a painful howl.

The sudden "Awooo!" startled the Iron-Armored Brown Ape.

It strained to open its already large eyes wide, looking in the direction from which the sound came, trying to find out what had happened.

At this moment, angry roars and pitiful howls intertwined.

The melody is poignant and melodious, yet it also evokes a sense of fury soaring to Jiuxiao

"What exactly happened?"

Hearing such a commotion, even the Iron-Armored Brown Ape felt a chill run down its spine.

Since this sound appeared in this world, this is absolutely the first time such a commotion has occurred.

However, it somehow felt somewhat familiar.

There was once a defiant black rhinoceros that made a similar sound when the ball hanging from its rear end was removed.

The Iron-Armored Brown Ape shivered, glanced down, and dared not think any further.

Not long after, the flying boat returned, carrying the master and his apprentice who had reaped a great harvest.

This time, the Iron-Armored Brown Ape didn't dare to say hello.

"Changzhi."

Not long after they came out, Cang Wenyu appeared on the peak.

After glancing around, Lu Changzhi stepped forward and said with a smile:

"The sect leader seems to be quite busy today; he even missed mealtime."

Cang Wenyu shook his head upon hearing this:

"There's nothing we can do. With the Mystic One Sect gone, the Eastern Region is going to be in turmoil for a while."

"With the Old Ancestor Gu personally presiding over the meeting, it's not convenient for me to leave."

As he spoke, Cang Wenyu handed a jade talisman to Lu Changzhi:

"The main points we discussed today are basically all covered in that."

Lu Changzhi took the jade talisman and smiled:

Now that the Mystic One Sect is gone, what are the sect's plans?

"The Mystic One Sect has territories that come into contact with our Five Symbols Sect. If we annex some of them, will we become the top power among all the elite forces?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu, who was trying to find something to eat, suddenly turned his head and looked over.

"Changzhi."

Cang Wenyu looked at it for a moment, then said earnestly:

"Your idea is very dangerous."

"That won't do, that won't do."

Lu Changzhi laughed heartily and said:

"Sect Leader, I was just kidding. I know the saying 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.'"

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down?"

Cang Wenyu was taken aback, clicked his tongue, and pondered these words.

Soon, a light shone in his eyes, and he gave Lu Changzhi a thumbs up:

"How could someone say such a thing?"

"Good job, kid. You're really reliable."

Lu Changzhi was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

So there's no such saying here.

He had inadvertently earned the sect leader's respect.

At this point, Cang Wenyu returned to the main topic:

"We don't have any plans for now; let them fight it out first."

"Once things are more or less settled, we'll weigh the situation from all sides and analyze the pros and cons of helping each party rise to prominence."

"As long as it's not my Five Symbols Sect that rises to power, that's fine."

Lu Changzhi nodded, not surprised at all.

It's good to rest in the shade of a big tree.

If there are no tall trees, you can pick one up and use it for shade.

"Oh, right."

Lu Changzhi thought of something and said:

"Sect Leader, I happen to have some materials for what you wanted last night. You're in for a treat this afternoon."

Cang Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak when a flash of light appeared.

Brush.

A huge, white-red, oval sphere, nearly half the height of a teenager, appeared in mid-air.

Cang Wenyu was stunned.

"Just picked, very fresh."

Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

"Just picked?" Cang Wenyu looked puzzled.

"This... isn't it a fruit?"

"Of course not." Lu Changzhi laughed and said:

"Genuine Black Dragon."

At this moment, Cang Wenyu's thoughts were still on the size of this thing, and he couldn't help but say:

"If we nurture it properly, wouldn't we be able to raise a powerful demonic beast?"

Lu Changzhi paused for a moment, then reminded him:

"Sect Leader, this egg is not that egg."

Cang Wenyu snapped out of his daze, clapped his hands,

"I see."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Changzhi and let out a soft exclamation:

"That's not right, they were just picked, only this morning, you went out already?"

Before Lu Changzhi could speak, he shook his head:

"No, I should have known you went out... Hmm? Did you use that illusion array to sneak out without me knowing?"

After speaking, Cang Wenyu looked at Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Sect Leader, look how honest I am..."

It must be said that Cang Wenyu's quick thinking left him momentarily speechless, unable to come up with a good answer.

Now is not the right time to tell Cang Wenyu certain things.

To be honest, he prefers the current harmony to being revered because of various important resources or his own strength.

The former refers to external affairs; the latter to internal affairs.

"I won't ask anymore."

Cang Wenyu waved his hand:

"You're not a child anymore. Whatever you do, just be careful."

As he spoke, he extended a hand and said:

"Do you still have the treasures you lent to the sect's elders at the Heavenly Azure Ruins last time?"

Lu Changzhi nodded, took it out, and said:

"Is the sect going to explore another secret realm?"
