National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 66: Holy Halo (Part )
"Seniors, what can I help you with?"

Lin Zhi was curious as to why these three powerful divine ring masters who held great power and could unleash the strength of a half-step legend actually needed help from a Blue Star Realm gardener like him?

"Here's what happened. We've made a preliminary exploration of the Black Turtle Forbidden Land and discovered that there is indeed an altar. But there are no less than ten half-step legendary wild beasts guarding the forbidden area, so a forceful attack is simply impossible." said Fang Zhengyi, a square-faced old man.

"We need the Phoenix Feather as a token to get the wild beast to let us go." The beautiful woman Huali agreed.

"Phoenix feather?"

Lin Zhi was stunned and was about to say that it was fake, but then the figure of a red flying bird suddenly appeared in his mind.

He indeed did not have the feather of a phoenix, but the red bird perched on the phoenix tree was a phoenix.

"That's right. We learned from Ji Long that you have recaptured a wild beast of the Phoenix family. This is really timely. As long as you pretend to be a member of the Red Phoenix clan and deceive the wild beast's trust, you can enter the depths of the forbidden area." The handsome man Ma Qingtian said with a smile.

Then he waved to Ji Wuming and others.

Soon, Ji Wuming came over with Ji Long's personal soldiers.

Ma Qingtian said: "The Ji family has mastered a secret art of transformation, which can make a person's soul and body completely change into someone else's appearance. However, this secret art has a disadvantage, that is, the higher the level of cultivation, the easier it is to be discovered."

"So we decided to let you students practice the secret technique to transform, and then you can pretend to be a member of the Red Phoenix tribe, take the descendant of the phoenix to deceive the wild beast, go deep into the forbidden area, and destroy the hidden danger of the altar." Fang Zhengyi said.

"Ordinary soldiers are good at teamwork, but if their cultivation is too high, it will be easy to be exposed. So after much thought, only you are the most suitable."

"Of course, if you are afraid of danger, you can refuse and then contribute this Phoenix descendant. Because we don't have a spiritual plant like the Phoenix Qingtong, the only way to control it is to enslave it. It will be useless after use. Don't worry, we will compensate you."

Huali then added.

"I will certainly not treat you unfairly in compensation."

At this time, Ji Wuming beside him suddenly said, "I suggest you keep it. Phoenix descendants are hard to come by. I don't want to see you being easily beaten to death by me when you challenge me tonight!"

"Oh, why should I challenge you tonight?"

Lin Zhi was confused by what the other party said.

"Haha, the hatred of having your wife stolen from you, why do you think that is? If you don't dare to challenge me tonight, then you can just wait to be killed by me once you enter the forbidden area!"

Ji Wuming said coldly.

"Boy, it's over!"

Fang Zhengyi next to him scolded.

However, after hearing Ji Wuming's words, Lin Zhi became more confused.

Saying that the other party hated him sounded harsh, but in fact he didn't feel any hatred at all.

I can't say I hate him, but in the eyes of outsiders, I did cuckold him.

But if he hated himself, he would have to say something to challenge him tonight, and if he didn't challenge me, he would kill me in the forbidden area.

Instead of just picking up the sword and chopping or going to the forbidden area to take action directly.

Also, what kind of a weird operation is it to prevent yourself from losing the help of the Phoenix Descendant?

Wouldn't it be better for him if I were vulnerable?

Why not just kill me in the forbidden area? Do you have to say it out loud?

And it happened in front of several human leaders.

This person seems to be mentally ill?

But how could a child of a noble family be so brainless and unwise?

Lin Zhi really couldn't guess.

But he still followed his heart and said to Ma Qingtian and the other three God Ring bosses, "I will play the role of a member of the Red Phoenix tribe. Let's keep this Phoenix descendant!"

"Okay, this is the secret art of transformation. You guys study it first. We'll go back to the barracks. Tonight I'll personally condense the blank secret art crystals for you..." Ma Qingtian said with a smile.

……

That night, Lin Zhi sat cross-legged in the tree house. He took a long breath, and with a thought, he turned into a man with a bird's beak.

"How is it, does it look like?"

He asked the three girls beside him, Fu Hua, Yan Ruyu and Yan Ling'er.

"It looks exactly like her!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed. Lin Zhi smiled and canceled the secret technique, then turned to look at Yan Ling'er.

Seeing his gaze, Yan Linger quickly asked, "Why are you looking at me? Aren't they enough?"

"Um, you misunderstood. I have something I want to ask you."

Lin Zhi asked doubtfully, "Do you know what kind of person Ji Wuming is?"

"Ji Wuming?"

Yan Ling'er suddenly laughed and said, "Why, you want to know your love rival's weaknesses? And you said you have no interest in me?"

"..."

Lin Zhi was speechless, rolled his eyes and said, "If you continue like this, leave my tree house and find a place to live by yourself!"

"Oh, don't! Actually, I've only met Ji Wuming a few times. He's a nice guy, cheerful, freedom-loving, and just, but he has some obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Yan Linger recalled, "But for some reason, starting from high school, his personality suddenly changed. He became extremely cold, strange, and even crazy."

"Ok?"

Lin Zhi felt as if he had grasped something.

"That's when I felt that our marriage was a mistake, and I began to distance myself from him. But I didn't expect that he would pursue me so relentlessly that he would force me to sign the final equal contract."

Yan Linger smiled bitterly and said, "If it was him before high school, I would definitely agree. But now, I feel like there's a beast lurking inside him. It's scary. Oh, and you know what? He almost killed me once."

"Is there still such a thing?"

Lin Zhi couldn't help but look at Yan Ling'er curiously. This woman's appearance and figure were indeed very good, just like Fu Hua and Yan Ruyu. If women were rated, they would all score above 95.

However, almost all of the top-notch gods’ favored ones can be rated above 95 points in terms of appearance and figure.

As a peerless genius from an aristocratic family, what kind of beauties has Ji Wuming not seen?
Do you have to keep pestering me and hang yourself on Yan Ling'er's tree? Keep the contract quota vacant?
You have to know that according to Yan Ling'er's description, the two of them were not even childhood sweethearts, they had only met each other a few times.

Is there really such a thing as love at first sight, where you must marry her?

This is very strange!
Of course, it could also be that Lin Zhi himself lacks insight.

"Yes, this person might have schizophrenia and violent tendencies. I have also tried to use the power of the aura to treat him, but purification should not be useful for schizophrenia. There is no way I will marry him."

"Well, I'm suddenly curious, what is your aura ability?"

Lin Zhi asked.

"My halo is called the Holy Halo, and the five halo abilities are called Blessing, Holy Light, Purification, Healing, and Exorcism."

Yan Ling'er began to explain in detail the specific effects of her halo.

Divine blessing can provide buffs for spiritual plants, and holy light can apply duffs to the enemy.

Purification can purify the gardener's material erosion, such as toxins, fire poison, ice and so on.

Exorcism can remove the spiritual erosion of the gardener, such as soul impurities, evil thoughts, spiritual invasion and so on.

Healing can restore the damage to the gardener and the spiritual plants.

"I see. Do you think it's possible that he's pursuing you just to use this halo to heal himself?" Lin asked.

"It shouldn't be. His problem is his own mental state, not an external evil. My halo definitely doesn't work."

"So sure?"

"Think about it, the other party is a descendant of an aristocratic family. If he is really invaded by an external evil, would he not notice it? And I feel that he is still himself, but his temperament has changed drastically..."

"Well, thank you for your answer."

Lin Zhi took the initiative to end the topic. At this time, he was full of doubts about Ji Wuming.

Moreover, he had a hunch that Ji Wuming's behavior of stopping him from contributing his Phoenix descendants today was too deliberate...

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Zhi's mind, and a monkey appeared.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he understood.

Lin Zhi quickly packed up the tree house and went straight to the military camp to arrange the room for Ji Wuming and Ji Long's personal guards.
