Chapter 82 One for you, one for me
Upon hearing Tianqi's words, the Queen Mother of the West
He sneered inwardly, but outwardly maintained a calm demeanor as he spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter my peach tree too much. It's just so-so!"
My peach tree has quite a grand name, though.
It was nothing more than a stroke of luck and a bit of a miracle; it's not worth mentioning!
On the contrary, it's your witch clan's Calabash Brothers who truly possess the power to seize the heavens and earth!
"Furthermore, fellow Daoists of the Wu Clan are direct descendants of Pangu, possessing noble bloodlines."
"What good stuff haven't I seen?!"
The Queen Mother of the West phrased this very tactfully.
This demonstrates that he did not want the ancestral witches to examine him.
But he didn't say it directly, so as not to offend anyone!
"Ah, fellow Daoist, you are mistaken!"
"Fellow Daoist, I've never seen a peach tree like this before!"
Tianqi seemed oblivious to the hidden meaning in west Wangmu's words, and simply followed the lead.
If they didn't refuse, that means they agreed.
Anyway, there's no prison food to eat in the primordial world!
As Apocalypse spoke, his gaze was already like a scanner.
Bypassing the Queen Mother of the West's obstruction, they conquered the entire Peach Garden.
He scanned the entire peach tree, especially the one with the most vibrant glow.
The target of the sensation coming from between my eyebrows is deep within the roots of the mother tree!
Looks like I'll have to fool people again!
Hopefully, the Queen Mother of the West will be sensible.
Otherwise, the fruit tree will be damaged.
I need to dig it back and take good care of it!
After muttering this to himself, Tianqi continued to look at the Queen Mother of the West and said:
"Since you know that we inherit the legacy of our Father God..."
They must also know about our Wu clan's profound understanding of heaven and earth, all things, and the workings of life.
A deeper understanding is needed!
To be honest, fellow Daoist, I just sensed something briefly...
I just feel that this peach mother tree of yours, fellow Daoist,
There seems to be a slight potential problem!
Have you noticed?!
"It's here! It's just right!"
The Queen Mother of the West thought to herself, "As expected, I knew the witch clan was up to no good!"
She answered calmly:
"Oh? I wonder what hidden dangers Fellow Daoist Tianqi has discovered in my fruit tree?"
This humble Taoist priest irrigates himself daily with celestial dew and nourishes himself with Kunlun jade marrow.
In my perception, this tree is full of vitality, it's doing very well!
Tianqi shook his head, too lazy to even make up a story.
He directly laid out the words he had used to deceive Zhen Yuanzi.
His performance began:
"Fellow Daoist only knows what it is, but not why it is."
This tree is indeed full of vitality, but as the saying goes, one cannot grow alone in the sun, nor can one live alone in the shade.
Fellow Daoist, please look there...
Tianqi pointed to the branches in the garden that were laden with fruit.
"Look, all the life essence of that tree has gathered in its fruit."
It looks like a bumper harvest, but it's actually an overdraft of the spiritual source!
If this continues, it might damage the tree's roots!
The fruits that grow in the future will certainly not be as good.
It might even wither completely!
His words were half-truths, half-fake, and alarmist, which, combined with his pained expression,
It does look rather intimidating.
But the Queen Mother of the West wasn't stupid.
She takes such good care of these fruit trees, how could she not know there was a problem!
She originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but the last two words Tianqi uttered, "wither,"
In an instant, the Queen Mother of the West's face darkened!
Her anger was gradually building up.
"This apocalypse is practically cursing my manhood!"
But she was quite composed, and with a dark expression, she asked calmly:
"Then what insightful advice do you have, fellow Daoist? What should I do?!"
"Simple!"
Apocalypse said with a chuckle.
"Simply use a special method to channel the wood energy and vitality that are too concentrated on the fruit back to the roots to nourish the tree itself!"
This is something I gleaned from observing the lingering Daoist principles left behind after the Father God created heaven and earth and all things.
I call it the "Wood Spring Great Method"!
Tianqi directly invoked Pangu to increase credibility, and then fabricated a very straightforward name for him.
They really put on a complete show!
When the Queen Mother of the West heard Tianqi's words, she almost believed him!
But then Tianqi changed the subject, looking troubled, and continued:
"However, if I were to perform this technique, I would need a catalyst. It's not difficult, though."
All that's needed is a tiny bit of special soil from deep within the root system of the mother peach tree, as a catalyst for this process.
That will work.
The Queen Mother of the West had been hesitant for a moment, but after hearing what Tianqi said, she almost laughed in anger!
After going through all this trouble, it's still all about digging up her roots!
And what a nice prelude to the performance!
It's better to just rob it!
Am I supposed to thank your witch clan for giving me face?!
She took another deep breath, suppressing her anger.
Her gaze swept over the silent but powerful Dijiang, and beside him, Xuanming, who made her feel as if her very soul was about to freeze.
And then there's Zhu Jiuyin, whose eyes seem to see right through her.
She knew that if she didn't agree today, things would likely not end well.
These witch clan guys have absolutely no idea what heaven and earth are!
They might not actually give face to themselves as the head of the female immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor!
"Since Fellow Daoist Tianqi is confident..."
The Queen Mother of the West's voice trembled slightly, a tremor that was difficult for anyone who wasn't close to her to notice.
"Then I will trouble you, fellow Daoist, to use the so-called 'Wood Spring Great Technique'!"
However, this peach tree is the foundation of my Xikunlun.
I hope you will show mercy, fellow Daoist!
She practically gritted her teeth as she uttered the last four words.
There's a sense of frustration, like when a petty thug comes to your door to collect protection money and you have no choice but to pay!
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist!"
My elder brother Jumang taught me from a young age to cherish flowers and plants!
"Our Wu tribe has no tradition of causing destruction!"
Apocalypse thumped his chest in assurance, making a loud, resounding thud.
Then, under the almost murderous gaze of the Queen Mother of the West, he entered the garden and walked to the mother tree.
He pretended to make a few hand seals.
In fact, it was already a perfectly legitimate use of spatial power to take a tube of soil from the location sensed and store it in the Chaos Pearl's space.
To maintain the precision of the acting, he even casually slipped some of Qinghui's small axe-like energy into the hollow space.
This makes the root system in that area appear more moist and glossy.
In reality, it's like giving that thing a major massage.
It does have some effect, but not much!
"Mission accomplished! The effect is excellent."
As Tianqi subtly filled the hole with his foot, he smiled at the dark-faced Queen Mother of the West and said:
"Fellow Daoist, look! Aren't the root systems here much stronger?!"
Under the influence of my Wood Spring Great Law,
Before long, the entire mother peach tree will be reborn and return to its peak.
The peaches that grow might even be more effective than before!
The Queen Mother of the West looked at the roots that seemed to have regained some vitality, and then at Tianqi's smug smile.
I just felt a tightness in my chest, and didn't want to say another word. I just waved my hand.
He gestured to his subordinates to see the guest out.
Apocalypse seemed oblivious to everything.
He continued enthusiastically:
"Fellow Daoist west Wangmu is wise and considerate of the overall situation. Tianqi admires her!"
"But I've gone through all this trouble, fellow Daoist, isn't it too much for me to have a few peaches to try?!"
Queen Mother of the West: "..."
She suppressed the urge to smash the jade ruyi over, and forced out a few words through gritted teeth:
"Please proceed, fellow Daoist!"
"Alright! Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I don't need much, just enough to eat!"
Then Tianqi began to happily pick peaches.
"One for me, one for Brother Dijiang, and one for Sister Houtu..."
"One for me, one for the older child, one for the younger child..."
"One for me, one for Hou Yi, one for Kuafu..."
Tianqi didn't take much; just one for each member of the Wu tribe!
After taking the fruit, he didn't bother with any further pleasantries with the Queen Mother of the West.
He simply left gracefully.
Watching the witch clan members disappear into the horizon,
With a sudden flick of her sleeve, a beam of divine light shattered a nearby boulder into pieces!
"Robbers! Bandits! Shameless scoundrels!"
They blatantly took so many of my fruits, and then acted like it was for my own good!
Damn it!
The Queen Mother of the West could no longer maintain her good image and was so angry that she trembled all over.
However, after venting, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
Faced with absolute power, even she, the head of all female immortals, could only swallow her anger.
"It seems we should seriously consider the suggestion made by the Eastern King Duke earlier."
Being bullied like this is so humiliating!
