Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 956 My Only Friend (Happy New Year!)
Cangxing's consciousness became very weak. It had already given up hope of living, but it never expected that Liang Yuan would take it with it when it ran away.

But this is the escape route.
Cang Xing didn't see clearly at all. It was as if in the blink of an eye, they went from one dark place to another, and there was another person in front of them, a young man who looked very similar to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan introduced Cang Xing, "This is my younger brother. By the way, what's your name?"

Liang Yuan's younger brother was speechless: "."

Cang Xing was equally speechless: "." His brother is really bold, daring to bring just anyone home.

Cang Xing weakly told them his name and the place where he had settled.

Liang Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "You should cultivate here for a while first, so that your divine sense doesn't really dissipate. I'll teach you how to get back later, and we can also visit your hometown while we're at it."

Cangxing: “.”, This gave it the feeling that its lair was about to be raided.

After resting for a while, Cangxing said that it was all better.

The truth is, Liang Yuan had nothing to repair his divine consciousness. His physical body wasn't here, and it wasn't an astral projection, so there was no way for him to recuperate. It was better to return to his physical body as soon as possible, and he would recover in a little while.

But now it is too weak to go back on its own. With this wisp of divine consciousness dissipating, it will sleep for a long time.

After pondering for a moment, Liang Yuan offered to take it home. He said goodbye to his family, casually made a spiritual energy shield, and added more spiritual energy when needed. In this way, he protected Cang Xing all the way back.

On the way, Cang Xing asked Liang Yuan, "Why did you insist on spending so much time traveling instead of doing what you did before? I think your spiritual energy is somewhat depleted."

Liang Yuan remained silent for a long time before revealing something that shocked Cang Xing.

"What I'm about to say, please keep it a secret," Liang Yuan said with a smile, gently poking at the spiritual energy shield. "You're all alone, with no friends or enemies, so it's alright to tell you."

Cangxing: ".", What? You look down on trees?
Liang Yuan asked it, "You've cultivated for so many years, you must have heard that there are teleportation arrays in the cultivation world, right?"

Cang Xing: "."

Cangxing was speechless for a moment. It was truly a disgrace to the cultivation world; it really didn't know.

Fortunately, it was a tree, and only a wisp of divine consciousness, so no one could see the embarrassment on its face.

Liang Yuan set up an array around them to shield their auras and voices, making sure no one could hear them, before preparing to explain the reason to Cang Xing.

Although Liang Yuan was new to his hometown, he was still cautious in this matter. Cang Xing silently added in his mind, "He was cautious, but not much."

Yes, if Liang Yuan were truly cautious, he wouldn't have revealed such important clan matters to a tree that had cultivated itself and possessed self-awareness.

“My tribe is called the Baimin tribe. People in the tribe are born with some special characteristics. Our blood can not only attract all kinds of monsters, but also enable two blood relatives to teleport instantly. The reason why I was able to quickly take you away is because I sensed my younger brother.”

Liang Yuan then told Cang Xing, "Years ago, some members of our tribe had a dispute with the tribe and severed ties with them. They started their own business outside the tribe and I heard that they made a lot of money with this skill. I'd like to go and see for myself if I have the chance."

Cangxing doesn't understand the importance of the Bai Min tribe's bloodline at the moment. It only feels that Liang Yuan is a very, very good person who is not only willing to help it, but also willing to tell it his secrets.

Cang Xing enjoys spending time with Liang Yuan, who is very cheerful and talkative.

After Liang Yuan returned it to its original form, he often talked to it. Liang Yuan was a cultivator who had already abstained from grains, and it was a tree that did not need to eat. Sometimes, the two of them would chat for ten days or half a month without getting tired.

But Liang Yuan is ultimately a person; he needs to return to human life and cannot stay with a tree that cannot be moved forever.

Liang Yuan frequently travels far away, sometimes for a year or two, or even for decades, always bringing back fresh topics or novel things. Cang Xing's initial anticipation turned into resentment. Why can't it go anywhere freely like a normal person?

Liang Yuan was unaware of Cang Xing's changes; his life did not linger for a single tree.

Cang Xing had a different idea. The change in things began when Liang Yuan was refining pills under Cang Xing's true form one day.

"What kind of pills are you refining? They smell so good!" Cang Xing's divine sense was drawn to the pills in the furnace.

Liang Yuan remained focused until a change occurred within the alchemy furnace and his spiritual sense relaxed, at which point he responded to Cang Xing's words.

“It’s a kind of pill for treating spiritual consciousness. I noticed that your spiritual consciousness keeps leaving your body, so I wanted to help you stabilize it so that it won’t be detected by others again.”

Cang Xing, on a sudden inspiration, asked him, "Besides this kind of pill, what other pills can you refine?"

Liang Yuan listed the names of the pills one by one: "There are pills for beauty and skin care, longevity, strengthening the body, consolidating and enhancing cultivation, transformation pills, and the one I'm refining for you now, to repair your divine consciousness. Some of these pills are from ancient times, while others are ones I've improved myself."

Cang Xing didn't hear anything else, except for the word "Transformation Pill".

Its body swayed, and the leaves rustled, indicating that it was somewhat excited.

Cang Xing: "Can I use the Transformation Pill?"

Liang Yuan shook his head. "No, with your current cultivation level, using the Transformation Pill to forcibly transform will only damage your foundation."

Cang Xing was somewhat disappointed, but then Liang Yuan said, "After you cultivate for a while longer, you might be able to use it."

Cang Xing cheered up, "Thank you."

Liang Yuan took out a few pills from the furnace, smiled and handed one to Cang Xing, then put the rest away.

Cang Xing saw all of this, but didn't ask any more questions.

It currently only has this one friend, and Cangxing is afraid that if it asks the other party, the other party will no longer pay attention to it.

When a tree's mind becomes cluttered, its cultivation stagnates. The Transformation Pill promised by Liang Yuan is nowhere to be found, and Cang Xing grows anxious.

People are prone to making mistakes when they're in a hurry, let alone a tree that has no brains.

However, there was no use in Cangxing being anxious. It could only wait in place, waiting but not knowing what it was waiting for.

When the sect members found it again that day, Cang Xing knew his chance had come.

The leader of the Tianmen Sect personally came and asked it how Liang Yuan had managed to escape with it that day.

Cangxing's consciousness was held in the other party's hand, yet it remained silent.

The leader of the Tianmen Sect said, "If you do not speak, I will use the Soul Searching Technique. At that time, your divine consciousness will be damaged, and you will become an idiotic tree spirit worse than a three-year-old child."

Cang Xing: "You only need to give me one pill, and I will tell you this secret."

The leader of the Tianmen Sect laughed: "Of course, as long as your secret satisfies me, I'll give you ten or even a hundred pills, let alone one."

Happy New Year, my darlings!
Thanks for the monthly pass, Little Turtle! Mwah~
