Notes on Longevity

Chapter 140 Yun Gong Desires to Obtain the Green Robe's Inner Core, Dao Yi Biochemical Tree Protects the Green Robe
As the sun rose higher, the woman in green was bound to the magic disc. Yun Gong looked at her and sneered, "You are a rare find, one in a million. If I hadn't met you, I really wouldn't have wanted to lay a hand on you and form this ill-fated bond."

Yun Gong's words amused her. What did he mean by saying that he would take action just because he met her? To put it bluntly, he was just making excuses for himself.

Finally, she lowered her head and laughed self-deprecatingly. After letting out a long sigh, she raised her head again and said to Yun Gong, "You can take my inner core, but can you spare these flowers? They haven't yet cultivated into human form, so they shouldn't be of any use to you. As long as you spare them, I'll let you do whatever you want with them."

Green Robe's words made "Welcoming Spring" tense. It raised its petals and stared at Dao Yisheng, wanting to say something. However, Dao Yisheng had already placed one hand on the windowsill. He seemed calm, but he was also somewhat flustered as he stared intently at Yun Gong.

His hand glowed green, and branches with green leaves slowly sprouted from the back of his hand, as if he were ready to act at any moment.

Branches and leaves, tree spirits?
This is confirmation from "Welcoming Spring" after seeing the branch on the back of his hand.

It just couldn't understand why its sister couldn't see through Dao Yisheng's true form, since it felt that Dao Yisheng's cultivation level should be similar to its sister's.

But it didn't have time to think that much. After hearing footsteps, it nervously turned its head to look downstairs. It saw Yun Gong raising one hand, frowning as he carefully walked towards the woman in green.

"Okay, I promise you. But you better not try anything funny, or I won't let anyone get away with it."

Yun Gong approached the green-clad figure's magic disc, waved his hand, and the originally huge disc instantly shrank, binding the green-clad figure's hands behind her back to prevent her from playing any tricks.

Looking at Yun Gong, the woman in green took a deep breath and looked at him nervously as well.

Because she didn't know what it meant to entrust her life to Dao Yisheng's hands. She also didn't know if Dao Yisheng could seize the opportunity the moment he made a move.

She and Dao Yisheng were complete strangers; she simply felt that he wouldn't harm her because they were both demons.

Of course, when Dao Yisheng was still a tree spirit, Taihua often told him about all the demons he encountered on the road.

He said, "Demons are just like humans. They are nourished by the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and they can also cultivate the Dao. If they have enough opportunities, they also have the chance to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven. They can go to the Heavenly Palace, enter the Heavenly Court, or find a sacred mountain and treasure land to hide in the human world and cultivate the Great Dao again."

Therefore, this time when he went down the mountain, in addition to wanting to see the things of the human world, he was also seeking the Great Dao he wanted and wanted to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality, but not like Yun Gong who relied on taking demon cores to cultivate.

Moreover, being a demon himself, he understood better than any human how difficult it was to cultivate a human form and refine an inner core. Therefore, he was certain that Green Robe would survive today.

He wanted to see just how capable this Yun Gong was! He refused to believe that this person was more capable than Tai Hua!
Green-clad closed her eyes and turned her head away, her heart pounding as she nervously wondered if Dao Yisheng was ready.

Yun Gong looked at her panting and suddenly smiled, thinking to himself: It seems that this flower fairy is not planning to play any tricks.

His expression changed, and his eyes fixed intently on the green-clad man's lower abdomen with a sinister look. The inner core was about to be his.

Once I obtain the inner core, I can go into seclusion to prepare for the Five Thunder Tribulation. If I survive it, who in this mortal realm can stop me from ascending to the Immortal Realm and entering the Heavenly Palace?

And as for Taihua, I will repay that humiliation tenfold!
Without hesitation, he stretched out his golden hand and grabbed at the green-clad man's abdomen.

The golden hand shot straight at the green-clad body, and a heart-wrenching pain of broken bones and shattered flesh erupted instantly.

She threw her head back and screamed in agony, beads of sweat the size of soybeans instantly appearing on her forehead and quickly sliding down her green-clad face. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was in excruciating pain.

Yun Gong frowned as he explored inside the green-clad woman's body.

He had clearly touched the inner core, but the inner core seemed to have a mind of its own and kept dodging his outstretched hand.

Overjoyed, he thought to himself, "This inner core is truly unlike any other demonic creature."

He raised his head and glanced at the green-clad figure, who looked at him with a deathly pale face, seemingly devoid of any spirit.

He laughed and said, "Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."

After confirming that the green-clad figure had no chance to make a move, he glanced around the open space again out of the corner of his eye. Finding that the flowers that had burrowed into the ground were also not moving, he finally came to his senses and focused on grabbing the inner core.

"Hurry up and do it!"

Seeing the miserable state of the green-clothed creature in Dao Yisheng's hand, "Welcoming Spring" felt heartbroken and anxiously begged Dao Yisheng for help.

Dao Yisheng ignored "Yingchun" and stared intently at the changes on Yun Gong's face.

His hand had completely transformed into a tree arm entangled with countless branches. He was now just waiting for a slight change in Yun Gong's expression before delivering the fatal blow. However, he didn't know if he would hurt Green Robe.

Yun Gong took a breath. His body was now glowing with a faint golden light. His brows were furrowed as he continued to search for the inner core within the green-clad body, thinking to himself: This inner core has truly awakened my mind!

But soon, the inner core that was constantly surging within the green-clothed man's body accidentally wandered into Yun Gong's thumb tip. He was overjoyed and shouted, "Where do you think you're going!"

At that moment, Dao Yisheng used all his strength to swing his tree arm toward Yun Gong.

The tree branch, only the size of an arm, instantly became incredibly thick the moment it was swung out, blotting out the sky for a moment.

Just as Yun Gong was overjoyed at the thought of finally grasping the inner core, a colossal creature suddenly appeared from the window of the wooden house and headed straight for him.

He was startled by this sudden scene. He had intended to let go while still holding the inner core, but it was too late.

The enormous, ever-growing creature suddenly branched out countless tiny twigs, which wrapped around the green-clad figure, and his own arm was about to be entangled by the spreading branches. In terror, he tried to pull his hand away and retreat, but the branches seemed to have their eyes on him, relentlessly pursuing him.

The branches entwined around the green-clothed woman made Dao Yisheng feel the magic disc that Yun Gong had left on her body. He thought to himself, "How come this is so similar to the one in Taihua?"
But he didn't have time to think about that now; instead, he jumped out of the window with "Welcoming Spring" in his hand.

As Yun Gong retreated, she saw Dao Yisheng on the ground, and her lips trembled slightly: This tree demon's inner core is even better than hers!
He stopped in his tracks, and with a flick of his whisk, he sent the oncoming branch flying, instantly scattering it into dust that fell to the ground.

Dao Yisheng approached the woman in green, and the "Welcoming Spring" he was holding was about to jump onto her. Seeing this, Dao Yisheng immediately tightened the branches wrapped around the woman in green, and with a "bang," the magic plate that was wrapped around her also shattered on the ground.
