Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Xue Yao did not kill these men in black, but simply let them fall into a deep sleep. Although a few of these men in black committed heinous crimes that were unforgivable, the majority of the others were not subject to the death penalty.

"Master, please follow me. I will take you to another place, and then we will go to find that official." After solving the problem with the leader of the men in black, Bao Ling turned to Xue Yao and said.

"Okay." Xueyao still trusted Baoling unconditionally and responded decisively.

Afterwards, she followed Bao Ling closely, and at the same time used telepathy to inform Xue Yu and other companions not to worry.

The passages inside this mine are like the meridians and blood vessels in the human body, complex and intertwined with each other, leading to various unknown places.

Under Bao Ling's guidance, Xue Yao carefully passed through several dark and deep passages, and every step was full of unknowns and expectations.

Finally, they came to a large and spectacular cave.

The moment she stepped into the cave, Xue Yao's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide, as if a goose egg could fit in it.

The cave was filled with glittering minerals, which shone with dazzling light, like a treasure mountain made of gold.

Oh, no, to be exact, this is a veritable gold mountain.

The bright light emitted by the gold seemed to illuminate the entire cave.

Xueyao was so shocked by the dreamlike scene before her that she was speechless for a moment.

When she was in heaven, she had seen those magnificent palaces that also shone with golden light, but she had never seen so much gold piled up like mountains.

She stood there blankly, staring at the pile of gold, her mind going blank for a moment.

Bao Ling, who was standing by, noticed Xue Yao's astonished expression and felt a strong sense of pride in her heart.

"Master, the gold you see is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the entire mountain is gold." Bao Ling said softly to Xue Yao.

Xueyao nodded, swallowed, and quickly recovered from her shock. She slowly walked towards the gold, reached out and gently touched one of them, as if she could feel its pulse.

Feeling the unique cool touch and heavy weight of metal, at this moment, she truly realized that she was in an unprecedented treasure trove.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bao Ling, could it be that this gold is the treasure that the leader of the men in black has been searching for so hard?"

Bao Ling nodded slightly in agreement and continued, "Indeed, this gold is not only of extremely high purity, but also of excellent quality. It only needs to be cut into smaller pieces, and it can be used directly for barter or exchanged for large amounts of silver."

Xue Yao frowned, thinking to herself, if all this gold fell into the hands of that high official...

She narrowed her eyes slightly. How could it be possible? How could it fall into the hands of that high-ranking official? She must not let this happen. She would never agree to it.

"Baoling, we've come a long way to get here. The place where this gold is found shouldn't be the same place as the iron mine, right?"

"Indeed, the two are about twenty miles apart," Bao Ling replied with a smile. "I've been here for tens of thousands of years, and I've never met anyone who knew there was gold buried here."

Xueyao nodded slightly, seeming to be lost in thought.

At this time, Bao Ling continued to say: "Master, you'd better keep this gold. It will come in handy in the future."

It will definitely come in handy in the future?

"Me? Take it?" Xue Yao widened her eyes and looked at Bao Ling in disbelief. She only wanted to help those poor villagers and never thought of taking the gold for herself.

Ever since the business in Liancheng started, it has been thriving and making a lot of money. She and the entire Secret Garden have endless money to spend.

Bao Ling's words made sense to her. She immediately realized that if the gold fell into the hands of that high-ranking official, it would bring about countless troubles and disasters.

However, once she received such a huge amount of gold... Xue Yao couldn't help but smile: "Well, with so much gold, I can indeed accomplish many great things."

Bao Ling smiled without saying anything, but nodded firmly.

Xue Yao smiled and said, "Just do as you say. Receive it."

With a slight raise of his hand, the pile of gold in front of him disappeared instantly and was collected into the secret garden.

"Master, we should take the entire mountain." Seeing that Xueyao only took the pile of gold in front of her, Bao Ling became a little anxious. "After all, the villagers can't keep this mountain of gold. If we don't do it right, it will bring them endless nightmares."

"That's right." Xue Yao nodded in agreement, but then frowned slightly, "But... there's gold everywhere. It might be dangerous to collect it from the inside."

She finally got a chance to start over, even if it was just to turn into a small plum tree, she absolutely did not want to be buried here forever because of this insignificant gold.

After all, life is so precious and short-lived. It is not worth giving it up just for material wealth.

What's more, she has transformed into a human form.

Even if I were still a tree, even if I couldn't move freely like a human, I could still experience the beauty and changes brought about by the changing seasons, wind, frost, rain, and snow. I could also appreciate the birdsong, the fragrance of flowers, the mountains, the lakes, and other natural landscapes around me... This feeling of being alive, of being one with nature, is something truly desirable and something I strive for.

Bao Ling smiled and said, "Master, have you forgotten what I am?"

"Baoling, what do you mean..."

"Master, take it with confidence. I'll take all the gold."

After hearing this, Xue Yao took a deep breath and followed Bao Ling's instructions, starting from a corner of the cave, she collected the glittering gold one by one into the secret garden.

Bao Ling turned into a huge piece of ore, the front end of which was like an open tiger's mouth, with a top and a bottom, ready to protect Xue Yao at any time.

Every time Xueyao finished collecting gold in one place, he would move on to another. This process continued for a long time until all the gold in the mountain was collected.

When all the gold disappeared, Xueyao set up a protective shield and he retreated all the way to the entrance of the cave.

While he was retreating, Xueyao moved rocks to support the mined areas or carried out safety collapse measures to prevent the mountain from collapsing suddenly and causing panic or harm to the people nearby.

"Baoling, thank you." Xueyao turned to look at Baoling, her eyes full of gratitude.

Bao Ling smiled and shook his head, "Master, this is what I should do."

"Baoling, this gold can be used to do many things. Do you have any specific ideas?" Xueyao asked on the way back to the iron mine.

Bao Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, you can use this gold to improve the lives of those villagers, help them build houses, buy food and clothes. This way, they won't have to worry about their livelihoods anymore."

Bao Ling is a good person who cares about the people and has a kind heart.

Xueyao nodded in agreement. She knew the hardships faced by the villagers and hoped to do something for them.

"In addition, we can also use this gold to help villagers in other places so that more villagers can live a good life." Baoling continued.

Xueyao smiled slightly. She understood what Baoling meant. Who said he was a stone? His heart was soft.
