Avenue Stowaway

The sudden voice echoed in Kong Fang's mind, which surprised him. The other party was transmitting the sound, but Kong Fang could not sense the fluctuation of the spiritual power. And this slightly old voice was not someone Kong Fang knew, and the voice was very unfamiliar.

"Who are you?" Kong Fang asked. Unable to sense the other party's spiritual power, Kong Fang naturally couldn't send a message to the other party.

"Daoyou, your methods are amazing. You pulled me back from the brink of death. Why are you standing in front of me now, but you ignore me?" When the voice echoed in Kong Fang's mind again, the transformed vines in front of Kong Fang stretched out and floated towards Kong Fang.

"You are... the Shape-Transforming Vine?!" Kong Fang was even more surprised. All along, Kong Fang thought that the Shape-Transforming Vine's intelligence had collapsed and disappeared, but the situation seemed not to be what he thought.

"That's right." The slightly old voice was filled with strong joy. "Before, I was injured too badly. In order to protect myself, I sealed myself. My spiritual intelligence was completely silent and I couldn't communicate with the outside world, but I could sense some situations in the outside world. If it weren't for you who removed the seal on my body, I would have died in a few hundred years. So, thank you for saving my life."

Some of the doubts in Kong Fang's mind finally had answers. When the Transfiguration Vine revealed its true form, Kong Fang was still very confused. It was clearly a Transfiguration Vine, why did it turn into an ordinary ancient tree? It turned out that the other party was too seriously injured and fell into a self-seal.

"So, your injuries have now fully recovered, so your spiritual intelligence has been freed from the seal again?" Kong Fang asked with a smile.

Kong Fang felt very good to encounter a shapeshifting vine that had awakened its spiritual intelligence. It was worth his rescue. But to be honest, if he had known earlier that this was a shapeshifting vine that still had spiritual intelligence, Kong Fang would definitely have fought with Zi Qing.

Once plant life has spiritual intelligence, it will be much easier to cultivate it. Of course, this is easier than plant life without spiritual intelligence. After all, the resources needed for plant life to grow are still very terrible, and ordinary people can't afford it.

If it can be cultivated, plant life can obtain resources on its own, so the person cultivating it does not need to worry much. Moreover, plant life with intelligence is also a good helper for the person cultivating it.

Kong Fang originally thought that the intelligence of this shape-changing vine had collapsed and needed to be cultivated from scratch, so he gave up the idea of ​​competing for it.

"Once the injury is healed, the seal will naturally be lifted." The Transformation Vine said with a smile. Having saved his life, the Transformation Vine was very happy in his heart, and his voice was full of joy.

"I'm quite curious, how did you get injured in the first place, and the injury was so serious that you had to seal yourself?" Kong Fang asked curiously.

Plant life is extremely strong, but the shapeshifting vine had to seal itself to barely survive, which shows how badly it was injured. But what made Kong Fang wonder was that if the shapeshifting vine was seriously injured when fighting with others, then the opponent should not let it go.

"It's all because I was too greedy." After hearing what Kong Fang said, the Transformation Vine sighed, "Back then, after I transformed into a human form, I planned to travel around and see the vast world outside, so that I would not live in vain."

Kong Fang was shocked, "It can transform into a human form, which means that the Transformation Vine has reached the spiritual realm back then!"

The shape-changing vine didn't know what Kong Fang was thinking, so he continued, "I am a plant life form, and I was born with a special ability. When other plant lives appear near me, I will have a special sense. When I was wandering around and passed through a desert, I sensed that there were other plant lives hidden under the desert."

"At that time, the plant life did not give me a strong feeling, so I mistakenly thought that I encountered a weak plant life that had opened up its spiritual intelligence. But when I sneaked into the desert, I was surprised to find that what I encountered was not a plant life at all." At this point, the slightly old voice of the shape-changing vine became a little strange. If the shape-changing vine could show its eyes, Kong Fang would find that the shape-changing vine's eyes were shining with a very amazing light.

Kong Fang was curious and wondered what the Transformation Vine had encountered, so he listened carefully.

"What appeared in front of me was a black...seed!" the Transformation Vine said in a voice transmission.

"Seed?" Kong Fang looked at the Transformation Vine in surprise. Even if a seed was extremely powerful, it would not be possible for it to open up its spiritual intelligence.

"Yes, it's just a seed." The vines of the transformation vine were not dancing much, which showed that he was not calm at the moment.

Kong Fang did not interrupt to ask any more questions, but listened carefully to what the Transformation Vine was saying.

"I was surprised that a seed could give me such a special feeling. I brought the black seed out from under the desert, wanting to find out what kind of plant life it was. It's just a seed, but it's so extraordinary. It must be even more terrifying when it grows up."

"About 1,600 years later, I passed through many places and many dangerous places, and finally I found some information about the seed in a very ancient jade slip."

Kong Fang couldn't help but hold his breath. The harder it was to find the information, the rarer it was.

"What I didn't expect was that it was actually the seed of the Youhuang Teng!" The old voice of the Huaxing Teng also became high-pitched, and Kong Fang completely held his breath. Youhuang Teng, he had seen the name, because it was recorded in the Rare Treasures Record.

It is just a record of rare treasures, and there is not much record about the bamboo vine. There is only a short sentence - the bamboo vine ranks among the top five plant life forms in terms of potential!

The records in the Rare Treasures Record are so simple, you can imagine how rare the Youhuang Teng is. After all, it is a very precious Qinglong wood, and the Rare Treasures Record also records a lot of content, and even records how to use it.

"It's actually the Huanghuang Vine, which ranks among the top five in terms of potential in plant life!" Kong Fang took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, but his voice was still full of amazement.

"As expected of someone who can save me, he even knows about Youhuang Teng." Huaxing Teng exclaimed, and Kong Fang's face turned slightly red. He knew so much because of the Record of Rare Treasures. If it weren't for the Record of Rare Treasures, with his limited knowledge, he wouldn't even be able to recognize Qinglongmu.

Of course, this is how knowledge is accumulated.

"So what happened later?" Kong Fanglian asked.

Kong Fang was very curious about the terrifying seed whose potential ranked among the top five in plant life.

The Transfiguration Vine suddenly sighed, his voice full of bitterness from the vicissitudes of life, "It's all because of greed!"

Kong Fang was startled. This was the second time he heard the Transformation Vine say "greedy".

"What?" Kong Fang was surprised.

"The Youhuang vine and I both belong to the vine family, and the Youhuang vine's potential ranks in the top five. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. If I can refine and absorb that seed, I will definitely become stronger in the future. So, I ate that seed!" The voice of the Transformation Vine was full of bitterness, and the vines were shaking gently, just like a person shaking his head.

Kong Fang opened his eyes wide in shock. That was the seed of the Youhuang vine, and the Huaxing vine actually ate it. This was too much of a waste of natural resources. If it could be cultivated, it would definitely be a terrifying existence.

Although the potential ranks in the top five of plant life, it does not necessarily mean that the strength will also be in the top five. After all, strength depends on acquired growth, and potential only represents the innate foundation. Of course, if the acquired growth is good, it is not impossible for the strength to rise to the first place among all plant life.

"I was greedy for a moment, but I didn't expect it to bring me a fatal disaster. I don't know who left the seed there, and the other party placed a restriction on the seed. When I ate the seed, the restriction was activated. The seed was in my body, and I was injured immediately. Fortunately, I am strong, otherwise I would have been torn into pieces when the restriction exploded."

Kong Fang knew that the reason why the shapeshifting vine was not dead was largely due to the fact that it was a plant life. Although the shapeshifting vine had turned into a human form, its internal organs were different from those of a real person. If the seed exploded in a human body, the human internal organs would definitely be killed in an instant, given the fragility of human organs.

"Misfortunes never come singly. When I was injured, the seeds of the Phantom Bamboo Vine also took the opportunity to erupt. It took root in my body and wanted to use my body as nutrients to supply its growth. Although it was only the seeds of the Phantom Bamboo Vine, it was also very domineering. If I had not been injured, I could have forcibly refined and absorbed it, but I was injured and could not suppress the seeds of the Phantom Bamboo Vine. In the end, I had no choice but to seal myself to delay time and find a solution."

Kong Fang was dumbfounded. He had never expected that such a bizarre thing could happen to the Transformation Vine. A powerful person in the Divine Realm was almost defeated by a seed.

The Transformation Vine transmitted the message: "Now that I think about it, I was completely set up by someone. Of course, if someone else came across the Huanghuang Vine seeds, they would also fall into the trap of the person who set it up, but I was unlucky and was the first to be caught."

Kong Fang nodded slightly. It did seem like someone had done this on purpose. But this method was also cruel and overbearing. They actually wanted to use other cultivators as nutrients for the seed.

Suddenly, Kong Fang was stunned. He looked at the Transformation Vine and asked, "The seed took root in your body, and then you sealed yourself. So, what happened to the seed now, and where is it?"

The shapeshifting vine smiled bitterly, "It's still inside me."

"Wouldn't you be in danger then?" Kong Fang exclaimed. Kong Fang didn't want to just rescue the Transformation Vine and then have the Transformation Vine be killed by the Bamboo Vine seed.

"Before, the spiritual objects applied to my body were very powerful. They made me transform once, and the Youhuangvine seeds also fell into a deep sleep temporarily and will not wake up for a while."

Kong Fang was even more surprised. "Could it be that the seeds of the bamboo vine have awakened their spiritual intelligence?"

"It has no spiritual intelligence, it's just an instinct. For a plant life that ranks in the top five in potential, even a seed is not simple." The Shapeshifting Vine answered, and then said: "With my current ability, it is impossible to refine that seed again. Forcing it to refine is very likely to be dangerous. You saved my life and helped me transform again, so I plan to give you this Huanghuang Vine seed as a thank you for saving me."

Kong Fang looked at the transformation vine in a daze.

The Huaxing Vine actually wanted to give him the seed of the Youhuang Vine, which was ranked in the top five in potential? This character was already very domineering when he was a seed. Who knew what a terrifying monster he would become when he grew up! (To be continued...)
