Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

The Chaotic God Flower, which had emerged from the alchemy furnace, lay wilted on the ground and rested for a while.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine, whose little flower trembled as it approached the Chaotic God Flower.

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head to look at Fujino Botan, and Little Pink Flower trembled as it approached the Chaos God Flower.

Ye Zhenzhen looked puzzled. What was going on?

Finally, she looked at the gentle persimmon leaf tea tree and transmitted her voice, "What's going on? What happened to them?"

Two leaves, one from the persimmon leaf and the other from the tea bush, covered the branch, and a faint voice whispered, "They're arguing."

"Arguing?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at Sanzhi with curiosity and asked Shi Ye Chazhu, "What are you arguing about? Why are you arguing?"

The voice of the persimmon-leaf tea tree continued, "[The Chaos God Flower says that we, as plants, do not help our own kind, but instead help humans harm plants; we are unworthy to be called plants.]"

[The Moon-Reflecting Vine and the Wild Peony are defending themselves, saying, "We only helped humans find a way to leave; we didn't harm any plants."]

And so, the two continued arguing.

The voice of the persimmon leaf tea dogwood grew softer and softer, and less and less confident.

Ye Zhenzhen understood what the persimmon leaf tea dog meant and knew its inner struggle. She gently patted its leaves and said, "I was the one who picked the spiritual plant. You did not harm your own kind. Don't overthink it."

Ye Zhenzhen grabbed the Chaotic God Flower and said, "You're quite the talker. Do you want me to help you and send you to the Yellow Springs so you can chat with Meng Po?"

The Chaos God Flower immediately lowered its head and became even more wilted.

The voice of the Moon-Illuminating Spirit Vine echoed in Ye Zhenzhen's mind: "Zhenzhen is truly amazing; she silenced it instantly."

Ye Zhenzhen ignored it and continued speaking to the Chaotic God Flower: "My original intention was only to find the Heart Fragment and leave this place. I had no intention of killing or destroying you."

"But you attacked me first, so it's only right that I kill you now. Please know your place."

"Don't have any illusions. I will show no mercy to the enemy."

“Now I ask you a question, and you answer. If you don’t answer, I will strip you of your flowers and leaves from top to bottom, leaf by leaf, and finally burn you to ashes.”

When Luan Shenhua heard Ye Zhenzhen's words and saw Ye Zhenzhen's murderous face, she trembled and knew that she had caused trouble.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the Moon-Reflecting Vine, which nodded its little white flower, understanding that Ye Zhenzhen needed it to convey her message.

Turning to look at the Chaotic God Flower, he asked, "You attacked me because you didn't want me to find the Heart Fragment? Do you know where the Heart Fragment is?"

The Chaotic God Flower glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, then looked at the Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine.

The Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine transmitted its voice to Ye Zhenzhen, saying, "Zhenzhen, it says it doesn't know anything about a Fragment of the Heart, but it has a stone. That stone is the most spiritually rich thing in this place, and it's very likely what you're looking for. It attacked you because it was afraid you'd take the stone, and it wants you to stop searching."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled, finally seeing hope again, and asked, "Where is the stone? Take me to see it."

Luan Shenhua glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, looking rather unwilling.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't hold back and directly ripped off an orange-yellow petal from the head of the Chaos God Flower.

The Chaos God Flower trembled violently and hurried eastward.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at it, thinking, "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

Followed.

An hour later, the Chaos God Flower stopped blooming under a String of Money Willows tree.

The roots extend straight downwards.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine and transmitted her voice, "Follow it, don't let it get away."

The Moon-Reflecting Spirit Vine nodded, its roots following the Chaotic God Flower, extending downwards.

After a cup of tea, the roots of the Chaos God Flower returned, bringing with them an irregularly shaped stone.

The Chaos God Flower used its roots to present the stone to Ye Zhenzhen, but did not move it.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't take the stone; instead, she probed it with her spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was so rich!

Ye Zhenzhen withdrew her spiritual energy and directly probed the stone with her divine sense. There was no obstruction, and the fragment of the heart had not yet developed sentience.

Ye Zhenzhen withdrew her divine sense. She knew that as long as she used her divine sense to imprint it on him, she could control this place.

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment and did not act immediately. She took the three plants with her and flew towards the old tree on her sword.

A week later, Ye Zhenzhen came to the old tree again.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen rushing over, the old tree asked curiously, "Why are you here? Have you given up? Or have you found something?"

Ye Zhenzhen stretched out her right hand, released it, and showed a stone to the old tree, saying, "I found it, this is the Heart Fragment."

The old tree stretched out a branch and gently touched the stone, saying, "Having been here for so long, this is the first time I've seen what the Heart Fragment looks like. You refined it, so you could control it and leave. Now you've come to find me. What do you want?"

Ye Zhenzhen put the stone away and said to the old tree, "I'd like to ask for your opinions. After I leave, do you want to continue wandering like before? Or are you willing to stay here?"

The old tree said, "After you refine it, you will become the owner of the fragments. Do we have any other choice?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Yes, you can ask them."

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's determined look, the old tree said, "Alright, I'll ask."

The old tree's root system spread rapidly, covering most of the surrounding spiritual plants that had awakened their sentience.

Soon, the old tree replied: "If possible, we would like to stay here. We have been wandering for too long and want a place to rest."

"And also, those spiritual plants you dug up earlier..."

Ye Zhenzhen said, "Don't worry, you'll see each other soon."

Ye Zhenzhen took out the stone and began the refining process.

An hour later, Ye Zhenzhen successfully branded the stone.

Ye Zhenzhen felt the connection between herself and the Heart Fragment, and with a thought, she left the fragment.

When she opened her eyes again, Ye Zhenzhen was hanging on the branch of a large willow tree.

Ye Zhenzhen summoned her flying sword, rose into the air, and looked around; there was a forest again.

Ye Zhenzhen felt a chill run down her spine. No way, really?

Ye Zhenzhen landed on the ground, randomly chose a direction, and walked forward.

At the same time, he released his divine sense to observe his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.

Ye Zhenzhen stopped and set up the formation.

Summon the Life Bead, a bead that has been restless ever since it found the Heart Fragment.

Ye Zhenzhen took out the Heart Fragment from her storage bag, and the Life Bead moved even more intensely.

Ye Zhenzhen released the Life Bead, which rushed directly towards the Heart Fragment, instantly growing larger and swallowing the Heart Fragment.

Before Ye Zhenzhen could react, she discovered that she could no longer contact either of them.

Recalling the description of the Vitality Bead as an upgradeable spiritual artifact, it seems that this one is being upgraded.

Ye Zhenzhen returned the Life Bead to her dantian, preparing to meditate and rest before figuring out how to leave.

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly heard the sounds of fighting. She released her divine sense and saw a group of people and demonic beasts fighting a hundred feet away.

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment, put away the array plate, and walked towards those people.
