Avenue Stowaway

A green vine suddenly rolled back and pierced into the ground. The Transformation Vine had been struggling on the brink of death for so many years, which had caused its strength to drop a lot. Fortunately, its injuries had recovered and its strength was still strong. The solid ground was like soft tofu in front of this green vine, and the vine easily penetrated it.

Kong Fang couldn't see what was happening under the ground, but he didn't use his spiritual power to check. Kong Fang knew what the Transformation Vine was going to do, so he waited expectantly.

Soon, the front section of the green vine bent and pulled out from under the soil, wrapping something. Kong Fang immediately looked towards the place where the vine was rolled up. The vine was rolled up very tightly, and nothing could be seen.

The shape-shifting vine stretched out its vine in front of Kong Fang, and the vine spread out. A black seed only the size of a thumb appeared on the vine. The seed was round and pure black, and looked like a crystal clear black crystal rather than a seed.

"Put it away quickly." The Transformation Vine urged.

Kong Fang knew in his heart that once the Zi family found this seed, it would no longer belong to him. This was the Huang Teng, which ranked in the top five of all plant life in terms of potential. It was much more powerful than the Huaxing Teng. The Zi family would definitely treasure it.

Of course, the Zi family would not give up the Transformation Vine, after all, the Transformation Vine's intelligence had already been awakened. As for when the Youhuang Vine would be able to awaken its intelligence, that was hard to say.

With a wave of his hand, Kong Fang put the seeds of the bamboo vine into the heart of the world.

After putting away the seeds of the Huang Teng, the man and the vine breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as if they were thieves. The man and the vine looked at each other. Suddenly, they both laughed. However, Kong Fang laughed out loud. The voice of the Transformation Vine sounded directly in Kong Fang's mind.

"Young man, what happy things have happened to you? Why don't you tell me about it and make me happy too." Suddenly, there was a person next to Kong Fang. The person looked at Kong Fang with a faint smile and asked.

The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Zi Yang, the patriarch of the Zi family who lived in the courtyard next door. Before, Kong Fang swept away all the helpers from other forces. As the patriarch of the Zi family, Zi Yang naturally had to deal with some of the aftermath.

Kong Fang was suddenly startled. "I wonder when Zi Yang came here. Will he find the seeds of the You Huang Teng?" Kong Fang was a little worried.

If the seeds of the Phantom Bamboo Vine were really discovered by Zi Yang, Kong Fang would definitely not be able to keep them with his current strength. Don't say that Kong Fang has done a favor to the Zi family, this favor is nothing compared to the seeds of the Phantom Bamboo Vine.

Zi Yang looked at Kong Fang with a smile, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Kong Fang carefully looked at Zi Yang's eyes, and saw nothing strange in them. Kong Fang felt relieved, and said with a smile: "It is indeed something worth celebrating. And I want to congratulate the head of the family!"

"Congratulations?" Zi Yang looked at Kong Fang in surprise, and then seemed to understand something. He said with a smile: "Oh, yes, yes! It is indeed worth congratulating. Speaking of which, I should also thank you. If it weren't for your great power, the Transformation Vine might not be saved this time."

Ziyang obviously misunderstood what Kong Fang was going to say. What Kong Fang was going to say was not about what happened before, but that the spiritual intelligence of the Transformation Vine had not collapsed, but had become silent after it had sealed itself off.

In fact, after the injury of the Transformation Vine recovered, its intelligence had already recovered. But at that time, the Transformation Vine did not show itself in front of the Zi family. It was not until Kong Fang appeared that the Transformation Vine showed its intelligence and communicated with Kong Fang through voice transmission. All of this was actually done intentionally by the Transformation Vine.

The Transformation Vine certainly wanted to thank Kong Fang for saving his life, but it was also to send out the seeds of the Phantom Bamboo Vine. There can't be two tigers in one mountain. If the Phantom Bamboo Vine seeds fall into the hands of the Zi family, then the Zi family will definitely not give up this very rare and powerful seed, and will definitely try their best to cultivate it. By then, the resources that the Transformation Vine can get will naturally become much less. The cultivation methods of plant life are different from those of humans and monsters.

The only one is the most precious.

Giving the seeds of the bamboo vine to Kong Fang can not only repay Kong Fang for saving his life, but also solve a big problem. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Kong Fang was startled, realizing that Zi Yang had misunderstood his meaning, and couldn't help but laugh: "The Patriarch misunderstood, that's not what I wanted to say."

"If it's not this, then what is that?" Zi Yang looked at Kong Fang with some confusion.

Kong Fang pointed at the Transformation Vine and said with a smile: "This is the real reason why I congratulate the Patriarch."

Zi Yang was even more confused. What he had just talked about was the shape-shifting vine, but Kong Fang said that he had misunderstood. Now Kong Fang was pointing at the shape-shifting vine and saying this to him. Zi Yang was a little confused by Kong Fang.

Zi Yang didn't say anything and continued to listen to Kong Fang.

"I always thought that the Transformation Vine's intelligence had collapsed, but in fact, its intelligence was not collapsed at all. It was because of its severe injuries that it became dormant and unable to communicate with the outside world. Now that its injuries have healed, the Transformation Vine's intelligence has naturally recovered."

"You mean..." Ziyang's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Kong Fang in surprise and joy. He was already very happy to get a shape-shifting vine, but he didn't expect to get such a big surprise. The intelligence of this shape-shifting vine did not dissipate, but still existed.

It would be much easier to cultivate a vine with spiritual intelligence. Moreover, the previous spiritual intelligence still existed. Even if the cultivation was dragged down by the injury and fell down, the previous cultivation experience was still there. Even if it was cultivated from scratch, it would be much faster than other plant life.

In fact, the decline of the Transformation Vine's cultivation was mainly due to the Phantom Vine seed. Although the Transformation Vine sealed itself, it only delayed the time of death. The Phantom Vine seed used it as nutrients and continued to absorb it. After countless years, this caused the Transformation Vine to fall from the lofty Tongshen Realm to its current state, which is not much stronger than a cultivator in the Spiritual Realm. Of course, the injury also played a role.

"My friend, you can't joke about this kind of thing!" Zi Yang was feeling both excited and worried. He was afraid that Kong Fang was just joking. His mood was extremely conflicted.

Kong Fang was in a state of confusion. How could he joke about such a thing? Kong Fang knew that no matter how much he explained, he could not dispel Ziyang's worries. It would be more effective if the Transformation Vine could speak in person.

"It seems that only if you speak in person will the head of the family believe it." Kong Fang smiled helplessly at the transformation vine.

Zi Yang immediately looked at the transformation vine, his eyes full of anticipation.

The Transformation Vine immediately transmitted a message: "Zhen Luo greets the head of the family!" At the same time, several vines of the Transformation Vine slightly bent down in mid-air, just like a person bowing.

Zi Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice transmission from the Transformation Vine, but then he was overjoyed and burst into laughter. The joyful laughter echoed in half of the mountain. The monks living nearby walked out of their rooms and looked over here in surprise. I don't know what made the head of the family so happy.

Soon, Zi'an and Zizhen flew over quickly and landed directly on the side. Ordinary people could not approach the Transformation Vine, but Zi'an and Zizhen, who had just protected the Transformation Vine, naturally had no big problem.

"Head of the family?" Both of them looked at Zi Yang in surprise. In recent decades, other families had been developing very well, and sometimes one or two talented disciples would emerge. This made the head of the family smile less and less, let alone laugh so heartily.

"Hahaha!" Zi Yang looked at the two with a smile, his face still full of joy. "You two came at the right time. My Zi family is going to have a big banquet. Let's celebrate properly."

Zi'an and Zizhen looked at the Transformation Vine at the same time. Like Ziyang at the beginning, they thought that the patriarch was so happy because the Transformation Vine had overcome this difficulty.

Zi Yang had no intention of explaining to the two, so he let them misunderstand. The fact that their Zi family had obtained a Transformation Vine had already made other forces uneasy. If they knew that the Transformation Vine's intelligence had not collapsed, who knows how other forces would be stimulated.

The fewer people who know this news, the better, as it will be beneficial to the safe growth of the Transformation Vine.

Zi'an and Zizhen responded respectfully and left again to arrange the banquet.

"My friend, this is something for you." Zi Yang handed over a storage ring with a smile on his face. It was the reward he had promised to give to Kong Fang.

Kong Fang took it and quickly checked it. He found that there were many strange things in the storage ring. Of course, the most were various elixirs and spiritual herbs. Because Kong Fang refused to take treasures such as weapons and armor at the beginning, there was no weapon or armor in the things given this time.

Kong Fang quickly scanned it and found that there were dozens of Tianxing grasses. He was very happy. Tianxing grass can speed up the speed of the soul absorbing starlight without putting the soul in danger of collapse. This is the best treasure for Kong Fang, who is still in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

"Just these dozens of Sky Star Grasses are priceless." Kong Fang was very satisfied. The total value of the things prepared by Zi Yang was very high, definitely reaching the value of a lower-grade acquired treasure.

"Thank you, Master!" Kong Fang expressed his gratitude.

"Hey!" Zi Yang's voice suddenly rose a little, "I should be the one thanking you." Zi Yang smiled, "By the way, I hope you don't tell others about the awakening of Zhen Luo's spiritual wisdom."

"Don't worry, master." Kong Fang agreed without any hesitation.

"I still need to arrange some things, so I can't stay with you for long. Don't forget the family dinner tonight!" Ziyang came quietly and left in a hurry.

Although Kong Fang was smiling, he did not agree to attend the dinner, but Ziyang did not know this and thought Kong Fang agreed. Before, when the vitality of the Transformation Vine was rapidly weakened due to the power of the poisonous method, Kong Fang had already planned to leave, and now with the Youhuang Vine in his hand, Kong Fang had to leave.

Kong Fang came to the Transformation Vine and threw a jade slip to it. "This contains the method of using the Azure Dragon Wood. Keep it safe. In ten years, you can absorb and refine the power of the Azure Dragon Wood according to the method recorded in it!"

Facing the Transformation Vine, Kong Fang still told the truth. Kong Fang could let Ziyang wait for another twenty years, but when it came to the Transformation Vine with awakened spiritual intelligence, Kong Fang did not intend to do so.

"Green Dragon Wood?" The Transformation Vine suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, you heard it right, it is indeed Qinglong wood." Kong Fang said with a smile: "Okay, it's time for me to go." As he spoke, a talisman that could shrink the earth a thousand miles away appeared in Kong Fang's hand. If he wanted to leave the Zi family now, he couldn't use normal methods.

"Take care, fellow Daoist!" the Transformation Vine transmitted the message, its voice full of gratitude.

"You too." Kong Fang smiled carefreely, and then activated the power of the Thousand Miles Shrinking Earth Talisman. A ray of light enveloped Kong Fang, and with a 'swish' sound, a ray of light flashed in the void, and Kong Fang disappeared in an instant.

Feeling the fluctuation of magic power coming from the courtyard where the Transformation Vine was, Zi Yang, who was arranging things for some elders, was suddenly startled, "Oh no, Transformation Vine!" Zi Yang exclaimed, and no longer cared about arranging things for the elders in front of him, and even flew towards this courtyard.

"Don't let the transformation vine be taken away." Zi Yang muttered worriedly in his heart, and soon, Zi Yang came to the courtyard here.

Before flying down, Zi Yang's gaze quickly swept towards the place where the transformation vine was planted in the courtyard.

"Fortunately, the Transformation Vine is fine." Seeing that the Transformation Vine was still there, Zi Yang was immediately relieved. He had just obtained a plant life that had awakened its spiritual intelligence, and it was a Transformation Vine. If it was kidnapped by Kong Fang, he would have to spit out blood.

If Ziyang knew that Kong Fang had taken away the seeds of the bamboo vine, he would definitely not be furious.

At this time, the elders who were slower also rushed over. After a quick glance, they did not find Kong Fang, and they all understood that the fluctuation of mana that had just appeared was caused by Kong Fang.

"Huh?" Ziyang's face suddenly changed, "The method of using the Qinglong Wood..." Ziyang couldn't help but get anxious. Now only Kong Fang knew the method of using the Qinglong Wood. If Kong Fang could not be found, then there would be no way to use the Qinglong Wood.

"Master, let's go catch him. Although the Thousand-mile Shrinking Earth Talisman is useful, we will definitely catch him back." An elder immediately requested for orders.

Just as Ziyang was about to agree, the voice of Fuji Shinra suddenly rang in his mind: "Master, let Kong Fang leave. You made him unhappy before, and it will be useless to bring him back. Besides, before Kong Fang left, he told me how to use the Qinglong Wood."

Zi Yang was startled, and then he could only sigh in his heart. After the Transformation Vine recovered from its injuries, he had already discovered that Kong Fang's attitude towards him had changed.

Several elders looked at Ziyang anxiously, waiting for the patriarch's order. They had not heard the voice transmission from the Transformation Vine, and did not know the specific situation.

Zi Yang sighed and waved his hand weakly, "You guys go and do your work first. Kong Fang, there's no need to look for him anymore. He doesn't owe our Zi family anything anymore."

"How to use the Qinglong Wood?" Several elders hesitated. In order to obtain the Qinglong Wood, the family paid a huge price. How could they let the Qinglong Wood become a decoration? It can only be looked at, not used.

"Kong Fang has left behind the instructions for using the Qinglong Wood. You guys go down first." Zi Yang waved his hand again.

The elders could only bow and leave, but everyone was confused. The head of the family was just worried about how to use the Qinglong wood, but then he said that Kong Fang left a method, but they didn't find anything.

Kong Fang fled far away, unaware that the storm surrounding this incident had just begun.

Of course, all the forces that came to the Zi family to invite Kong Fang later came up empty-handed. (To be continued...)
