Chapter 379
As if he had not heard the anxious words of the Dahongpao tea tree, Suning's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a meaningful smile, his slender fingers stroking his chin, his eyes looking back and forth at the tea tree, muttering to himself: "It can be eaten, but it seems to be a little bit short?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, fell into a brief contemplation, and quickly calculated the follow-up plan in his mind. After a moment, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he was determined to let the Dahongpao tea tree continue to evolve.
The Dahongpao tea tree felt his scalp tingling when he heard it, "Still? Still coming???" It widened its "eyes" and was full of fear. Its voice was unconsciously raised and trembling, and it cried bitterly. Although evolution means transformation and moving towards a stronger state, the process is too tragic, like being in purgatory, going through the pain of body tearing and shattering, and finding a new life in the brokenness. Every inch of the "body" seems to be cut and crushed by a sharp blade, and the pain is piercing, and it is unbearable.
"Swoosh..." Suning danced with his hands, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be inspired, like a rushing stream, continuously pouring into the body of the Dahongpao tea tree. In an instant, "boom boom..." The tea tree was violently fluctuating, as if a storm was raging and whistling in its body. Its expression was distorted and painful, "It's going to explode, it's really going to explode!" It roared, and its body was like an out-of-control puppet, changing wildly, twisting into a weird shape, twisting like a twist, and then expanding, like a balloon about to burst. The bark was stretched tight and cracked, and finally with a "click", it tore out hideous cuts, and sawdust flew, as if it was enduring the most cruel torture in the world.
"Swoosh——" A dazzling green light was like a rocket, rising from the core of the tea tree, breaking through the clouds, and then like fireworks, quickly scattered into star-like light spots in the sky, strands of which were accurately integrated into every piece of tea. A magical thing happened. The leaves of the tea tree seemed to be cast by magic, and they transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The color changed from dark to bright and dazzling, and the veins seemed to be outlined and carved by a divine pen, becoming clearer and clearer, just like a precise map, showing vitality and mysterious power.
"I said it could evolve..." Su Ning's eyes burst into surprise. He could keenly sense that this evolution brought a leap in power level. The majestic energy rushed and gathered in the body of the tea tree, like a sleeping giant awakening, and its momentum gradually increased. "Continue!" He was not satisfied with this. His expression was cold and focused. His ten fingers flew, and he quickly changed the seals. He chanted something in his mouth and cast a series of mysterious spells. The rune light flickered and jumped at his fingertips, blending and echoing with the breath of the tea tree.
Time passed slowly, and the breath of the Dahongpao tea tree became more and more powerful. The air around him seemed to be solidified by its invisible pressure, heavy, like a substantial lead block. Finally, when the last ray of bright light disappeared into thin air, the Dahongpao tea tree completed this thrilling evolution. Its branches were several times thicker, as solid as Optimus Prime, and its bark was thick and full of the charm of years of precipitation; the leaves were like carefully polished jade, shining in the light, with an attractive luster, and the breeze rustled, just like the elves singing softly, and the tea fragrance was like curling green smoke, drifting slowly, instantly filling the entire space, fresh and pleasant, as if it could cleanse the soul and dispel the haze of fatigue.
"I...did it?" The Dahongpao tea tree stood there, staring at its own changes, shocked, and came back to its senses after a long while, muttering to itself, tears flashing in its eyes, with a sense of surviving a disaster, and even more joyful about the transformation. It knew that without Suning's help, it might be trapped forever and it would be difficult to reach this extraordinary realm. Although the process was painful, it was worth it.
"Hehe... I forgot to tell you, there is actually one last step left!" Su Ning smiled, but his eyes showed unquestionable determination.
The Dahongpao tea tree seemed to be struck by lightning, "???" Its mind was blank in an instant, and an ominous premonition was like a dark cloud pressing down on it, "Huh!? Is it over? There is only one last step left???" Its voice trembled, and it was full of panic, and its body shrank subconsciously.
"Boom..." As soon as Su Ning finished speaking, the Dahongpao tea tree, which was originally as stable as a mountain, shook violently without any warning, "Bang!" With a loud noise, it was like a bomb exploding, and the huge body was shattered, and wood chips and fragments flew all over the sky, like a strange "wood rain". "I... Shit... I'm dead... I'm really dead... I'm going to die..." It screamed miserably, its consciousness was in chaos and dissipated in the severe pain, every inch of "tree material" seemed to be burned by fire and cut by a steel knife, "I exploded! No..."
Between life and death, the consciousness of the Dahongpao tea tree struggled and shrank in the endless darkness, as if pulled by a mysterious force, gathering sand into a tower, and miraculously recondensed. "I... I'm not dead!" It was so surprised that its tone was raised a few points, but it suddenly found something strange, "Huh... I've become shorter???" It was full of surprise and looked at itself. The originally tall and upright body of more than three meters was now only about 1.78 meters, as if half of it had been "cut off" by time, and the crown was stretched out, just likeThe small green umbrella covers an area of about one meter in diameter. "I have become smaller?" It was in disbelief and stunned on the spot.
Although its body has shrunk, the energy in its body is like a surging river, surging endlessly, filling every vein and cell, giving it a wonderful feeling of touching the peak of power, as if it has a peerless magic skill that can turn the world upside down. The tea tree, more than one meter high, stands quietly, its temperament has been reborn, the trunk is winding and twisting, like a dragon and snake, vigorous and powerful, engraved with the vicissitudes of time, the bark is rough and full of cracks, like an ancient history book, witnessing the wind and rain of thousands of years; the leaves are dark green and shining, crystal clear like gems, the sun caresses them gently, flashing mysterious light, the breeze blows, rustling and chanting ancient Zen words, the wonderful sound is around the ears, leading to enlightenment.
Approaching the tea tree, the elegant tea fragrance is long and refreshing, like a breeze, penetrating the barriers of the soul, showing its immortal charm. Suning was in the middle of it, as if he had stepped into a mysterious fairyland, the hustle and bustle of the world dissipated like smoke, and his body and mind were immersed in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. "Very good..." He could not hide his surprise and nodded constantly, "Although it has become smaller, the concentration is the essence! Now... is the best time for the medicinal effect!" His eyes were burning, knowing that this careful cultivation had finally yielded the ideal fruit, and he was full of satisfaction.
Under this operation, the Dahongpao tea tree jumped to become the second sacred tree in the vegetable garden, and the top of the list was naturally the mysterious and majestic world tree. Suning licked his lips, greed and expectation flashed in his eyes, "It's time to eat it..." He calculated in his heart that such a rare tea tree would definitely help him break through the bottleneck, step into the late stage of Jindan, and start a new chapter in cultivation.
"Uh... no..." The Dahongpao tea tree just breathed a sigh of relief, and before it had time to immerse itself in joy, it heard what Su Ning said, and instantly felt like it fell into an ice cave, and its "tree body" was numb. "I have just taken shape, and you want to eat me? No... don't eat me, I am a good tree..." Its voice trembled, with a crying tone, it moved its "roots" in a panic, trying to escape, and looked miserable.
Seeing this, Su Ning curled his lips slightly, raised his hand and waved, and the invisible force was like a shackle, instantly imprisoning the Dahongpao tea tree, and it could not move even if it struggled and twisted. "Let me go... I don't want to die... Don't eat me! I finally became an immortal..." It begged bitterly, with tears in its voice, "My meat is not delicious... It's really not delicious, there is not a single piece of delicious meat on my body." It was full of despair, and regarded Su Ning as a demon, hideous and terrifying.
Su Ning seemed to have not heard anything, and continued to smile, "Accept your fate. You were created just to be eaten by me. Otherwise, why would I raise you? See? Then I might as well raise Jiang Xiaotao and Wu Mengyao to be plump and white. Wouldn't that be better looking than you?" His words were full of ridicule and no mercy.
These words drifted into the ears of Jiang Xiaotao and Wu Mengyao, and the two girls' pretty faces instantly turned red, just like the clouds in the sky. They lowered their heads shyly and glared at Su Ning.
The Dahongpao tea tree was more sad than the death of its heart, and closed its eyes to wait for death. "Swish..." Su Ning waved his hand, and a giant spiritual hand fell from the sky, like a giant palm of a god, accurately grabbing the tea tree. When life and death were at stake, Su Ning suddenly pulled down a handful of tea leaves, and the tea tree trembled, thinking that a disaster was coming. After special refining, the tea leaves were like a phoenix rising from the fire, turning into eighteen round tea pills, floating in the air with green and lush green, with runes looming, and it was extraordinary. "It's done!" Suning's eyes lit up, unable to hide his excitement, "After eating these tea pills, I can immediately reach the late stage of the golden pill!"
The Dahongpao tea tree opened its eyes, looking confused, "So you don't eat me... I was scared to death!" It was still frightened, patted its "chest" and breathed a sigh of relief.
Suning smiled and explained: "Scare you, so that the power in your body can flow faster, so that the tea can achieve the best effect."
Dahongpao:...
The Dahongpao tea tree was furious when he heard this, "Fuck... you!!!" It widened its "eyes", speechless, and secretly felt lucky to have escaped a disaster, with complex emotions surging in its heart.
