Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine: [What preparations are needed? I'm ready to begin anytime!]

Upon hearing the Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine's telepathic message, Ye Zhenzhen smiled and telepathically asked it, "Vine, can you communicate with these spiritual plants and herbs?"

Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine: [Sure, they're all old acquaintances.]

Ye Zhenzhen smiled. "That's good. We can start preparing now."

She turned to look at the old tree and asked, "Grandpa Tree, what does this fragment of the Heart look like? Does it have any special features? Does it have any favorite things about it?"

The old tree was amazed to see the human child cheer up so quickly and said, "The Heart Fragment has no fixed form. This fragment is controlled by it. It could be a tree, a flower, a stone... It has no particular characteristics, and I've never heard of it liking anything."

"You'll find your soulmate eventually, little girl. Keep trying! Whether we can stop this wandering life depends on you."

After hearing what the old tree said, Ye Zhenzhen was speechless. This answer was practically the same as saying nothing at all.

Ye Zhenzhen took out an unimportant jade slip from her storage bag, wiped out its contents, and held it in her hand.

He summoned the Life Bead from his dantian and said, "Bead, whether we can get out or not depends on you. You can't let us down."

Ye Zhenzhen said to the Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine, "Vine, your roots extend deep into the ground; can they cover an area of ​​one mile?"

Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine, [That's nothing, it can get even bigger!]

Ye Zhenzhen said, "No need, let's take it one mile at a time and test it first."

"Fengzi, in a moment I will use the Vitality Bead to release pure wood-type spiritual energy. The plants will grow wildly when they sense it. Communicate with these plants and let them check themselves for anything else."

"Release your roots to cover an area of ​​one mile, and bring all things on the ground that do not grow but have spiritual energy to me."

"Also, remember the location of these plants and tell me so I can mark them on the map. Time is of the essence, and we can't afford to take any detours."

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "There's an even simpler way: just use the Vitality Bead to plunder the vitality of all the plants. That way, there won't be any plants left on the ground, and wouldn't it be easier to find them?"

The Moon-Reflecting Vine frowned in a human-like manner and transmitted its voice, saying, "This isn't good. Many of these are my friends!"

The first method is better. I'll go get a few helpers; you get ready.

After transmitting the message, Yin Yue Ling Teng quickly left to find help.

Thinking to myself, "Humans are so fickle! Friends, come help me, or I'm going to die!"

Ye Zhenzhen chuckled as she watched the Moonlit Vine leave so quickly; it was still so easily amused.

Then they heard the old tree's voice behind them, "Little girl, you're young but cunning. Are you threatening all the spirit plants to obey you?"

Ye Zhenzhen smiled meaningfully and said, "It's a threat, but also a warning. I know you're not the only one who can talk here, but no one else has spoken along the way, which says a lot."

"If I can't get out, I'll die here. I'm not sure I'm willing to do anything for that slim chance of survival."

The old tree chuckled dismissively and said, "You, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, have quite the big mouth!"

Hearing the old tree's disbelieving tone, Ye Zhenzhen said confidently, "You will believe it one day."

After a cup of tea, the Moon-Reflecting Vine arrived with two flowers.

Yinyue Lingteng transmitted its voice, saying, "[Zhenzhen, these two are my good friends. The one with the pink flower on her head is Fujino Botan. She's not as pretty as me, her figure isn't as good, and her abilities aren't as strong. The only thing she's better than me with is her root system, which can cover twice the area of ​​mine.]"

Ye Zhenzhen saw the Fujino Peony standing in front of her, about half a zhang tall, with tender green branches covered with sharp thorns and a few pale pink flowers blooming on top.

I gently touched the little pink flower and greeted it.

The petals of the little pink flower brushed against Ye Zhenzhen's fingers.

The Moon-Reflecting Vine continued its telepathic transmission, saying, "This one that hasn't flowered is called Persimmon Leaf Tea Vine. It can't bloom, but it can bear a kind of fruit. You can't discriminate against it just because it can't flower, or it will be unhappy."

When Ye Zhenzhen saw the persimmon leaf tea tree, it was much smaller, only a foot tall, with oval leaves that showed no signs of aggression, but instead appeared more gentle and lovely.

I gently stroked the leaves of the persimmon-leaf tea tree to greet it.

The persimmon leaf tea tree shyly curled up its leaves.

Then, the Moon-Reflecting Vine continued to transmit its voice, saying, "[There are a few other friends, but they are trees, and it's not easy for them to move around, so I didn't call them.]"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded and said, "That's about enough."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Fujino Botan and Persimmon Leaf Tea and said, "I may need to sign an equal contract with you first to facilitate communication. Don't worry, it will be dissolved once the matter is settled."

An equal contract means that both parties are equal in status, with no master and servant, and either party can terminate the contract.

The peony in the Fujino area has a few small pink flowers, and the persimmon-leaved tea tree has a few leaves.

Ye Zhenzhen squeezed out two drops of blood from her fingertips and dripped them onto the branches of the peony and the persimmon leaf tea tree, then quickly made a hand seal.

An array pattern lit up on the ground, and the contract was signed.

Soon, two new voices came to Ye Zhenzhen's mind.

A cute, childlike voice transmitted: "Master, Master, I am Fujino Botan."

Ye Zhenzhen saw Fujino Botan wriggling in front of her.

Ye Zhenzhen gently tapped Fujino Botan and said, "I heard you. You don't need to call me master, just call me Zhenzhen."

Another gentle girl transmitted her voice, "[Zhenzhen, I am Shiye Chazhu]"

The persimmon-leaved tea tree next to the peony in Fujino gently twitched its leaves and then shyly curled up.

Ye Zhenzhen gently patted the persimmon leaf tea tree and said, "Hello, I'll have to trouble you with this next step."

After the joke ended, Ye Zhenzhen seriously explained to Fujino Botan and Persimmon Leaf Tea Tree how to do things, and the two plants indicated that they understood.

Ye Zhenzhen said, "If I make you do work, I have to give you some compensation. Get ready, the compensation is coming soon."

Ye Zhenzhen spread her hands and formed a hand seal, and the vitality of the surrounding plants was quickly absorbed.

The trees around us started to turn yellow rapidly, then the leaves fell off, then turned yellow again, and then the leaves fell off again.

After a cup of tea, a ball of spiritual energy formed in Ye Zhenzhen's left and right hands.

Ye Zhenzhen launched two spirit energy balls, which landed on the branches of Fujino Peony and Persimmon Leaf Tea Tree respectively.

After quickly thanking Ye Zhenzhen, the two plants began refining the spirit energy ball.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen only gave the two plants and not it, the Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine quickly climbed onto Ye Zhenzhen, its little white flower facing her directly.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and looked at it, saying, "Don't worry, it's here!"
