The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

The source of all the changes had actually been laid long ago, waiting for the appearance of someone to trigger it.

"What does all this have to do with the Dragon Heart Tree?"

Luo Yiyi asked the questions on everyone's mind at the right time, and Gongsun Hu organized his words before answering them one by one.

"What you learned from Weiwei is that the Dragon Heart Tree was cultivated specifically for my late wife. But in fact, the Dragon Heart Tree was retrieved for the sake of Lady Lantern, and it was cultivated to maturity so that Lady Lantern could be reincarnated again."

Several people looked at each other, all of them found this new fact incredible.

Xia Zixuan asked: "As far as we know, the Dragon Heart Tree can revive dead real dragons. Island Master, aren't you cultivating the Dragon Heart Tree to revive the Lantern Goddess?"

Gongsun Hu smiled bitterly: "As medical practitioners, we are committed to resurrecting patients, but that only applies to those who are still alive. If the person is confirmed dead, how can we violate the law of cause and effect and go against the laws of heaven? The consequences of doing so are far beyond what you and I can bear."

After thinking for a while, Qi Gui asked, "Gongsun Qiuwei doesn't seem to know these things? Isn't she the cultivator of the Dragon Heart Tree?"

Gongsun Hu sighed deeply: "Weiwei...is no longer just herself. Now she also has a trace of the soul of Lady Huadeng in her body."

Everyone was surprised: "What!"

The family secret that the Gongsun family provided in order to seek refuge on the Medical Immortal Island was the information about the Dragon Heart Tree. They did know the approximate location of a Dragon Heart Tree, which was located in a certain secret realm, but they did not know the exact location.

Next, they kept sending people to search the secret realm, but because the secret realm was very large, the opening hours were limited, and there were many dangers inside, it took them a long time and many people were killed. Finally, Gongsun Hu led his people to defeat the powerful spirit beast guarding it and brought back the dragon heart tree.

Having said that, Gongsun Hu looked at Shu Xiaoman, his eyes full of nostalgia and sadness, and raised his hand to gently pat her arm.

"Xiao Man lost her mother when she was young, and her father was also seriously injured in the secret realm while trying to protect my wife. He passed away before I could even leave the secret realm."

Shu Xiaoman frowned, feeling down but still shook her head gently towards Gongsun Hu as if to comfort him, indicating that she was fine.

"From then on, my wife and I took care of Xiao Man as if she were our own daughter. However, due to our special position, we did not have much time to accompany the child, not to mention that we had just brought back the Dragon Heart Tree at that time, and it was a critical time to fully focus on finding a way to cultivate it. We could not afford any distractions, so we naturally neglected the growth of the children, which led to the current situation."

"Master, this is not your fault. It is my fault for not being able to handle the relationship with the young lady properly."

Hearing Shu Xiaoman's words, Gongsun Hu smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Man, you are a good child. I know you have suffered a lot from Wei Wei since you were a child. Although I wanted to help you, I didn't do well on both sides. A Yin's death made me feel that I owed those two children, so I didn't notice that something was wrong with her at the first time. This is my dereliction of duty as a father."

The master and disciple felt sad for Gongsun Yin for a moment, and Gongsun Hu forced himself to continue speaking.

"When we first brought the Dragon Heart Tree back, it was in very bad condition, almost dying. We used all the usual methods to cultivate spiritual plants but all failed. Seeing that our only hope was about to be shattered, my father came up with a method."

Luo Yiyi guessed: "Are you using your blood to feed the Dragon Heart Tree?"

Gongsun Hu nodded very seriously: "That's right."

The situation had reached a stalemate, and the Dragon Heart Tree was likely to wither and die in the next second. Gongsun Hu's father took an unconventional approach, and he tried to feed the Dragon Heart Tree with his own blood, which he had read in some book.

Unexpectedly, his method actually worked. The Dragon Heart Tree recovered from its near-death state at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was fully restored to health.

But the price that came with it was also huge. Gongsun Hu's father's lifespan declined at a very fast rate. In just a few months, his temples were already gray and his skin was old. He looked like an old man in his twilight years.

Gongsun Hu once hesitated whether to proceed, but his father had developed a mental demon due to his long-term obsession with finding the Dragon Heart Tree. In his madness, he ignored anyone's dissuasion and insisted on continuing to feed the tree with his own blood in the hope of seeing the Dragon Heart Tree mature.

But it is not so easy for the Dragon Heart Tree to mature. His blood and essence alone are not enough, and as his body rapidly deteriorates, he knows that his time is up, so he turns his attention to his offspring.

Hearing this, Shu Xiaoman was in disbelief.

"So, the young lady used her own blood to feed the Dragon Heart Tree on purpose, did the old island master do that?"

"At first, he came to me, and I had no objection. Saving Lady Lantern was the oath that my Gongsun family had to follow for generations. As long as there is Gongsun blood in my body, it is my duty that I must fulfill. But I never expected..."

Gongsun Hu's eyes suddenly turned red, and after calming down, he continued speaking with a slight sob.

"Father actually brought Qiu Bai and Wei Wei to the Dragon Heart Tree without telling me and took their blood essence, just to test whose blood among us would have the greatest effect on the Dragon Heart Tree. They were just children at the time! How could he have the heart to do that!"

Gongsun Hu clutched the quilt tightly. Seeing this, Shu Xiaoman hurriedly held his hand to comfort his heartache.

"He said he couldn't wait any longer and had to do it because he didn't have much time left. Ironically, he left forever three days later with a mad face. However, the Dragon Heart Tree had already drunk Weiwei's blood, so it no longer cared about mine. No matter how much I fed it, it would not accept it. Soon I was in a dilemma."

Luo Yiyi was puzzled: "What's so difficult about this? Of course my daughter is more important!"

Gongsun Hu smiled bitterly: "The reason why I said oath is because my grandfather did swear an oath at that time. As long as I carry the blood of the Gongsun family, I must take it as my responsibility to save Lady Huadeng and must not slack off, otherwise my bloodline will be cut off."

Luo Yiyi nodded, crossed her arms and commented seriously: "Your ancestors are all scumbags who have trapped their descendants in injustice."

"That was my original plan. I wanted to protect Weiwei even if my bloodline was cut off. But I didn't expect that Weiwei would come to me on her own initiative. She said she wanted to cultivate the Dragon Heart Tree herself. She said she would be fine and she guaranteed that she could cultivate the Dragon Heart Tree to maturity."

Qi Gui noticed something was wrong: "As a child, how could Gongsun Qiuwei know how to cultivate the Dragon Heart Tree? Could it be that she was already influenced at that time?"

Gongsun Hu looked at Qi Gui in surprise, and sighed in his heart that even if he only had five spiritual roots, with his extraordinary intelligence and talent, he would definitely be able to gain a place in the world of gods and mortals.

"You guessed right. Weiwei had been affected at that time. I thought it was caused by my father, but I didn't expect it was the Lantern Goddess."
