Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

If the waterfall pool is allowed to recover on its own, it will take at least ten years.

Taoist Jiuwu was concentrating on figuring out the gourd spirit, but he was still surprised by Chu Wuji's power.

"Wuji, your strength is amazing. This ancient gourd tree is so tough that Qingying had to use her magical powers to shake it. You broke it by forcing it."

Chu Wuji nodded in greeting, thanked her for the compliment, and then immediately asked:

"Senior Jiujiu, this gourd just spoke. It's become a spirit in just a few months. It must be quite powerful."

"It is indeed quite large. I guess this gourd is a descendant of the ancient great gourd that attained enlightenment, and it has survived to this day as a seed."

Chu Wuji had only heard of enlightened monks and masters, but had never heard of the enlightened gourd.

However, it is understandable that a gourd vine that can develop intelligence shortly after being planted must have a very complicated origin.

It's like the little white tiger that was chased by a black bear and had to flee in panic.

The Taoist Jiuwu said again:

"It's hard to return the spiritual energy it sucked away to this place. Look at this vine. It has become as hard as diamond as soon as it leaves the ground."

She flicked it, and where her fingertips touched the vine, a hard metallic sound echoed.

In this state, it would be difficult to burn the gourd vine into ashes to use as fertilizer, let alone replenish the spiritual energy of the waterfall pool.

The female fairy first picked off several gourds to separate them from the vines' nutrient supply.

When she tried to take it off forcibly, she could clearly feel the movement of the five-colored gourd, but in front of the Jiuwu Taoist, she said "stop" lightly, and the movement of the gourd was immediately silenced, and it could not even resist.

The drunken and dancing Taoist sighed:

"It's quite impressive. The medical classics summarize the five colors of heaven and earth: green, red, yellow, white, and black. This gourd vine has all of them. The five gourds are all different colors.

I've traded for hundreds of wine gourds in my life, if not a thousand. Especially when I was into collecting, I would refine several a year, but I've never seen a gourd like this."

Chu Wuji only cared about the spiritual energy here. He didn't want this place to be desolate when spring came. He said:

"Senior Jiujiu, can you get this gourd spirit to return its spiritual power?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. There's still 30% of spiritual energy remaining on this vine, and most of the rest has been absorbed by the gourd. But even if I destroy the hard vine, the spiritual energy inside will only disperse into the sky, and only a little can be replenished here."

"I have the flames of the evil spirits. Can I burn her into ash to use as fertilizer?"

Chu Wuji didn't consider the life or death of the gourd spirit at all, and was only thinking about restoring this place.

At this time, a woman's voice came out from the gourd again:

[You're just a small spark from a ghoul, and you think you can burn me? You can try, but you'll only be adding nutrients to my body!]

Chapter 565: There’s no point in calling me grandpa!

That's quite a powerful tone.

Chu Wuji didn't think she was bluffing or simply being stubborn, because he had had similar experiences before in Liangjin Kingdom.

At that time, he tried to use the flames of the evil spirit to burn those tree people, but it was useless. Even the flames of the strange beasts could not punish them.

Because there is a very counterintuitive truth here: fire does not overcome wood, but wood actually creates fire.

"Let's try it first. I always hear that setting fire to a mountain will land you in jail for life, but how come the fire from the beasts can't burn these things?"

Chu Wuji rubbed his palms together, and his two fists ignited raging flames of pure color.

He just stood there, and the heat melted the snow within hundreds of meters.

The little foxes retreated one after another and hid by the pond to avoid the heat.

boom!

He instantly threw out two punches with the power to penetrate the mountain, trying to penetrate the flames of the evil flame into it, but the effect was minimal.

Ripples appeared on the surface of several gourds. After the flame power penetrated into them, it disappeared completely without causing any waves.

【continue. 】

The strange woman sneered.

Chu Wuji did not get angry. Instead, he picked up his weapon and slashed at the gourds. The five gourds sensed his seriousness and turned into five rays of light that converged together and became one, forming a five-colored gourd.

Just with this change, Chu Wuzhi's attack was dissolved.

He was completely confused and said:

"Senior Jiujiu, why is this happening? Metal should be able to break wood. It was effective against the chest-piercing man back then.

Is this gourd, which was just planted not long ago, more powerful than that chest-piercing man?"

If it weren't for the Jiuwu Taoist who blocked the surroundings and restricted the movement of the five-colored gourd, Chu Wuzhi suspected that the gourd would fly away directly and steal spiritual energy from other places, and he would have no way to do anything about it.

Jiuwu Taoist had just been observing, and she explained for the time being:

"This five-colored gourd is certainly not as powerful as the members of the Witch Tomb, but it has its own unique characteristics. It naturally possesses all five elements. If you regard it as the 'wood' of a plant, you are mistaken."

Chu Wuji stared at the gourd, trying to understand its meaning:

"If this gourd isn't a plant, then what is it?"

【…】

When the Five-Colored Gourd saw that her characteristics were revealed in one word, she wanted to escape and tried to struggle.

The vine that had been cut into two pieces before suddenly moved on its own for no reason, and whipped towards the two of them violently, making a sound like a thorny iron whip breaking through the air. The vine leaves on it turned into hidden weapons and sharp blades, stabbing at them in unison!

Unfortunately, the Jiuwu Taoist was sitting right next to them. She sat there motionless, and a few drops of wine popped out from her fingertips. Not long after the leaves flew out, they were knocked to the ground by the small water droplets.

Look at the leaves again. They are green and their veins have transformed into different five elements of power, containing terrible power in their calmness.

Once it gets close, even if you dodge in time, the terrifying power of the explosion is enough to kill you.

Chu Wuji watched the Jiuwu Taoist attack, and just then he felt that sometimes the bigger the noise, the more powerful it was. In the understated counterattack, a huge gap that outsiders could not see was revealed.

The Taoist monk Jiuwu explained:

"She is balanced in the five elements. Unless there is a huge power gap between them, she can only use the power of the five elements to restrain others, and others will be unable to do anything to her."

Chu Wuji didn’t quite understand these tricks, he was only certain that the seeds given by Senior Jiujiu had indeed grown into something extraordinary.

The Jiuwu Taoist raised his hand, signaling him to be patient, and said:

"I'm here to communicate with her... I'm an elder from the Shujiu Peak of the Divine Heaven Sect. How should I address you, young lady? What's your background?"

[A drunken elder? A figure I've never heard of.]

Taoist Jiuwu reacted indifferently to this evaluation and was not moved at all. He just waited patiently for the follow-up.

The gourd woman paused for a moment before continuing:

"I come from the Flower God clan, a relative of the Fairy of Flowers. Now that I've awakened, they'll be here to pick me up soon. Then you won't be able to act recklessly anymore!"

Chu Wuji was confused after hearing this and looked at Senior Jiujiu, who also looked puzzled.

However, Senior Jiujiu had read countless ancient books, and she vaguely remembered something.

In the past, when she traveled around the world (looking for wine), she had seen the Hundred Flowers Festival in some places and heard of the name of the Hundred Flowers Fairy. She thought that it was the inheritance of some predecessor left there.

After all, that place was rich in flower wine, so Taoist Jiuwu spent more time to inquire about it, hoping to find this senior and ask for some wine.

At that time, she also pulled out Ning Xianzhi, a homegirl who rarely came out, to search for clues together.

The final information we got was that the inheritance of this so-called Fairy of Flowers had been broken for who knows how many years.

Some independent cultivators, seeking an opportunity, dug up the temple where the old master had passed away, causing strange phenomena and movements, exposing the statues in the temple to the people, making them think that it was a manifestation of the gods.

Then the story of the Fairy of Flowers began to spread in the local area, making outsiders believe that she was a land god or something like that.

The Taoist temple that was raided by the wandering cultivators was also entered by Jiuwu Taoist and Ning Xianzhi. It has a long and ancient history.

"Could this seed... have flowed out from that Taoist temple?" muttered Taoist Jiuwu.

"Senior Jiujiu, she calls herself a member of the Flower God clan, so why is she a gourd?" Chu Wuji was more concerned about this.

"Baihua doesn't mean to command all flowers, but rather that one person possesses the rhythm of all flowers. When she is planted, she is a gourd, but as she grows, she can transform into hundreds of thousands of kinds of flowers."

So that's how it is. It turns out that this is not a gourd spirit, but a flower spirit. It just grew up and happened to develop in the body of a gourd.

The woman became even more angry after listening to the introduction of the drunken and dancing Taoist priest, and scolded:

[Impossible, how could our clan's inheritance be cut off! ]

Jiuwu Taoist roughly understood her misunderstanding and explained:

“You may not be able to be grown in other places, but Senior Tianhu’s cave is small but ancient, and it has not changed much over the long years.

So after you absorb the spiritual energy of this place, you will mistakenly think that only a few years have passed."

The reason why those seeds can be preserved for so long is probably because they cannot be planted anywhere else and can only germinate and grow normally in some special places.

Chu Wuzhi thought that this thing was planted by himself, and it was just growing instinctively, so he couldn't blame it for stealing spiritual energy.

He softened his attitude and said politely:

"I can find you another Feng Shui treasure land, but please return the spiritual energy of this place, as much as you can. I don't want this place to become a wasteland bereft of spiritual energy."

[No way, I won't be fooled.]

The woman flatly refused. Once she fed her spiritual power back here, her power would only become weaker, and she would be even less able to resist and protect herself in front of these guys.

At least she had to hold on a little longer. This man and woman might be using evil words to deceive people. The people from the Flower God lineage would soon come to support her!

Chu Wuji's politeness ended here, and his expression became indifferent:

"You don't even want to be nice to me. It's useless for you to beg for mercy and call me grandpa now!"

He grabbed the immobilized five-colored gourd with one hand, gathered his energy with his fingers, and pressed against the bottom of the gourd.

The color of the five-colored gourd changed instantly, turning golden all over, as hard as an indestructible diamond, and fought against Chu Wuji.

However, when it comes to testing physical strength, Chu Wu Ji is unlikely to suffer a loss.

The flower spirit, which had only developed for a few months, was unable to compete with it.

After a few breaths, the gourd burst open and the melon came out, crisp and juicy.

A voice full of anger and shame was heard:

[Hand, hand, take it away! Stop holding it!]

Chapter 566: Ruthless Hands

After talking about Xiantian for so long, it was useless. Chu Wuji made a move... and pointed.

The woman who had been afraid to change her form finally revealed her true face.

A woman appeared in a pink and white floral pleated long skirt. Her figure could be described as a gourd, with a small waist supporting two heavy fruits. The hem of the long skirt was quite slim, fitting closely to the curves of her hips and legs.

From the hips to the ankles, the curves change from wide to thin, which is breathtaking.

After the flower spirit revealed its human form, it dodged several steps and glared at Chu Wuji angrily, but its expression did not appear ferocious, but rather like the anger of a little girl.

In a sense, she is the most suitable person to be praised as "beautiful as a flower" in terms of race.

Such a delicate face, coupled with her expression that seems both angry and shy, makes me feel pity for her.

An ordinary man would probably be soft-hearted and reflect on his recklessness out of shame, but Chu Wuji's expression remained unchanged, and he did not show any more ripples because of her appearance.

"If I had known that even the gourd itself would be defiled... I would have rather it rotted in the ground!"

The voice is the same as before, it is indeed good.

Chu Wuji nodded in agreement, and the powerful hand dug a hole next to him. He made a polite gesture of "please" and said:

"That would be best. Let it rot in the ground quickly, turning into fertilizer and returning spiritual energy to this place!"

"..."

The flower fairy was speechless, and suddenly realized that even glaring at him was unnecessary, so she could only look away angrily.

The Jiuwu Taoist laughed secretly, finding Chu Wuji's reaction amusing.

Although this guy is surrounded by a group of beautiful women all day long, he doesn't get close to young girls when he sees them. When he gets cold, he is really ruthless and scary.

He probably couldn't come up with a better way to restore the spiritual energy of the waterfall pool. Even if it was greatly damaged, he would find a way to use the flower essence as fertilizer.

It's understandable, after the Heavenly Fox Goddess was no longer around, this waterfall pool and the little foxes became an important place for people to remember her, and it's impossible for them to allow outsiders to destroy it.

"Alright, alright, just call me Jiuwu Daoren. What do you call me, young lady? Otherwise, I'll call you a flower demon."

Compared to the angry Chu Wuzhi, the carefree Jiuwu Taoist was simply like a spring breeze.
