I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Li Hao quickly steered the conversation back on track, and Wu Liangsheng looked at the seed with mixed feelings.

He said, "It's hard to explain in just a few words. Let me put it this way: do you know where this place is?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Yan City, Huaiyuan Prefecture, Yue Kingdom, in the southern part of Dongli Continent?"

Wu Liangsheng said, "Yes, but I'm not asking about such specific details, I'm asking about something bigger."

How big?

"So vast, it encompasses an entire realm."

As Wu Liangsheng spoke, he casually picked up the teapot on the table, poured out some tea, and used his power to control the liquid to suspend it in the air, dividing it into six water spheres.

Two large ones are arranged vertically, and four smaller ones are arranged horizontally around the middle.

He pointed to one of the small water spheres and said, "This is where we are, the human realm."

"The other three realms are the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, and the Spirit Realm."

"The two realms, one above the other, represent the realm of gods and the other the realm of the underworld."

"This seed is the seed of the Three Lives Tree that I stole from the underworld."

Li Hao was stunned. He said, "You have such a wealth of experience? The God Realm and the Underworld? Anyone can brag. I want to see the evidence."

Wu Liangsheng pointed to the seeds in Li Hao's hand and said, "This is the evidence."

"Once I grow it, you'll know that everything I've said is true."

"It's not easy to grow the Netherworld Tree in the human world. There are many things that need to be prepared. I had already gathered most of them and hid them in a place that only I knew about."

"Let's cooperate. You want a new body, and so do I. Our interests are aligned."

"I have many enemies, and now I am in a soul state, at risk of being completely destroyed. If you protect me, I will tell you what treasures I need to grow this Three Lives Tree."

Wu Liangsheng's tone was sincere, and his words were indeed very appealing to Li Hao.

but.

"Planting a tree, why make it so complicated?"

Wu Liangsheng was slightly speechless and said, "This isn't an ordinary tree, it's from the underworld... What are you doing?"

Li Hao did not answer, but simply tossed the tree seed into the teacup and poured in some water.

then.

I'll just crush his bones to dust!

The seed sprouted instantly.

Another handful of bone meal.

The tender shoot grew rapidly and became a sapling!

Wu Liangsheng was completely dumbfounded. The conditions for planting and cultivating the Netherworld Tree in the human world are extremely demanding.

What is this stuff I'm scattering? It'll grow just like that?!

Seeing that Li Hao was about to continue sprinkling, Wu Liangsheng quickly stopped him: "Stop!"

"Once the Three Lives Tree matures, it will inevitably attract other powerful figures. Now is not the time!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao stopped what he was doing.

If that's the case, it's definitely not good to force ripening here. Let's try again later in a place farther away from Yue.

With that thought in mind, Li Hao slapped the sapling flat.

Wu Liang-sheng: !!!

"I only brought out this one seed, how could you...?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hao flashed his hand and took out another one.

Wu Liang-sheng: "...I almost forgot you can copy. But what kind of magic is that?"

Li Hao scoffed, "What business is it of yours what kind of supernatural power I possess?"

Wu Liangsheng didn't really expect Li Hao to tell him, but thinking about the magical powder that could even ripen the Three Lives Tree, coupled with Li Hao's completely unreasonable replication, his heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.

With Li Hao's help, he would save a lot of effort in rebuilding his physical body.

Most importantly, Li Hao also wanted to form a physical body; their goals were aligned!

"Li Hao, I don't know your background, but your skills have truly broadened my horizons."

"Let's work together."

Li Hao twirled the seed in his hand and slowly said, "Now you are my prisoner, and the seed of the Three Lives Tree is in my hands. What bargaining chip do you have to cooperate with me?"

Wu Liangsheng was not surprised. Of course, he wouldn't reveal all his trump cards. He smiled and said, "The Three Lives Tree isn't something you can just plant and expect to condense a physical body. Besides, you need to make a lot of adjustments before you can condense a physical body that you're satisfied with."

"Do you know how to adjust it?"

"In the entire human realm, I'm probably the only one who's ever been to the underworld. Even if you get the seed, it won't help if you don't cooperate with me."

Hearing this, Li Hao thought for a moment, then extended his hand: "You've convinced me. It'll be a pleasure working with you."

Wu Liangsheng hesitated for a moment before reaching out to shake hands with Li Hao, and then reached for the rope binding him.

"Shouldn't you untie me now?"

Li Hao rolled his eyes: "What's your rush? What if you run away?"

Wu Liang-sheng immediately panicked: "I'm counting on you to help me get a new body, why would I run away?"

But Li Hao still refused, saying, "Let's wait until tomorrow. You better behave yourself today."

With that, Li Hao took his hand and led him back to the Song residence.

In the Song family's courtyard, Li Hao took out a railing, tied Wu Liangsheng up to it, and then took out a bedrock to build a box, completely sealing him inside.

Then he summoned a servant and asked him to call Zhao Xianle and Song Yuqi to his study.

study.

The two walked in together and closed the door.

Li Hao stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Hearing the voice, he didn't turn around, but asked directly, "Zhao Xianle, what exactly did Wu Liangsheng tell you that made him try to kill you the moment he saw you?"

Speaking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Zhao Xianle's eyes. He said, "He didn't tell me much. Most of it was just strange and unusual stories."

"If there's anything I know that he doesn't want others to know, it's probably only... his background?"

He said he was originally a god, but was banished to the human world because he committed a grave mistake.

"Over the years, in order to return to the realm of gods, he has stolen a lot of things and offended a lot of people. This is the third time his physical body has been destroyed and his soul has escaped."

"He said he must find a body with top-notch aptitude this time. He looks down on everyone in the royal family, so he is only temporarily residing in my body and has not taken over my body."

Hearing this, Li Hao chuckled softly, "The old man has pretty high standards... Alright, I understand."

"Go to the backyard and wait for me."

Zhao Xianle took his leave, leaving Song Yuqi alone.

Li Hao finally turned around and looked at him: "Yuqi, do you want her to live?"

Song Yuqi's expression was serious as he said, "Brother, if I were in your shoes, and someone killed my entire clan, leaving me alone to serve him, I would gladly kill that person's whole family."

"My feelings for Zhao Xianle were just a passing fancy; I can still distinguish right from wrong."

Li Hao chuckled softly and said, "That's good. It's best if you can figure it out."

A fierce glint flashed in Song Yuqi's eyes as he asked, "Then shall I go and kill her now?"

Li Hao replied, "No, you're the groom today. Don't get your hands dirty. Someone will help you."

As he spoke, Li Hao walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Have fun on your wedding night, or you'll be in for a world of trouble later."

Song Yuqi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, I can endure any hardship!"

Li Hao smiled slightly and gestured for him to leave.

Then, Li Hao went to the backyard and to the bedrock house where Wu Liangsheng was temporarily imprisoned.

Zhao Xianle was already waiting beside her, and for some reason, she felt a strange sense of panic.
