After saying a few words, Master Ma left with his wife and children.

Zhu Yu was puzzled for a moment, assuming that he had something he was having trouble saying, and didn't think much of it. He turned to look at "Xiao Qing," who was half full and sprawled on the chair. At some point, "Xiao Bai" had appeared, glaring angrily at Xiao Qing and chattering away at her.

Phrases like "Don't eat so much," "Eat more politely," "Just take one bite of each dish," and "Your clothes are dirty," etc.

However, her tone was soft and weak, and Xiaoqing got impatient with her noise, so she simply snorted and shrank back to sleep.

Xiao Bai, who was in control of her body, felt Zhu Yu's gaze, blushed, and shyly lowered her head while holding her lower belly.

Zhu Yu stepped forward, stroked Xiao Bai's smooth blue hair a few times, and instructed Zhu Er, who was serving beside him:

"Take Xiaobai to 'Luo's Garment Shop' for a visit later..."

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Er respectfully accepted.

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Bai looked up in surprise and said excitedly.

Zhu Yu smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Hei, who was lazily lying on the ground, and Xiao Qi, who was teasing Xiao Yu's offspring, and asked:

"Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"I'm not going."

Xiao Hei shook his head without hesitation.

Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly, jumping up and down and shouting, "Xiaoqi wants to go, Xiaoqi wants to go..." As she spoke, she ran to Xiaobai's side, wanting to jump onto her shoulder, but Xiaobai slapped her away without mercy and glared at her.

Xiao Qi didn't care. It flipped over and ran to Zhu Er's side in a flash. Zhu Er didn't dare to pat Xiao Qi, so he quickly reached out and picked it up, and handed it a spiritual fruit.

"snort…"

Xiao Qi smugly hummed at Xiao Bai, took a big bite of the apple-like spirit fruit in her hand, and juice and saliva splashed everywhere, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

Zhu Er's eyes lit up, and several "runes" lit up on her skin inside her clothes. A gentle power emerged, collecting the juice that had splashed from Xiao Qi's mouth and letting it fall into the jade bottle in her sleeve.

After it finished eating a spirit fruit.

A thin layer of emerald green liquid rippled inside the jade bottle.

Zhu Er sensed the abundant spiritual energy and vitality contained within it, and was even more delighted. He carefully put it away and handed another spiritual fruit to Xiao Qi.

Click, click…

Little Qi munched happily, but this time no juice spilled out.

Zhu Er was not surprised. This was a tacit understanding between her and the insects and beasts under Zhu Yu's command. She often spent spirit stones to have people collect some delicious spirit melons and fruits from various places to feed Xiao Qi and the others.

Xiao Qi, who was quite intelligent, naturally wouldn't let her work for nothing.

Xiao Qing is a simple-minded person who only knows how to eat. Occasionally, he will specially leave some food for her. Don't look down on this. Xiao Qing's food is of a high standard. For Zhu Er, this is also a considerable income.

soon.

Zhu Er then left with Xiao Bai and Xiao Qi.

Little Black lazily stood up, and just as he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said with a grin:

"Master, the 'Starry Sky Wood God's Gift' is budding."

Before Zhu Yu could even rejoice, it continued, "However, the 'Starry Sky Wood God's Gift' will take a very, very long time to ripen this time..."

Zhu Yu was not surprised. The "Starry Sky Wood" had transformed into a "Divinely Gifted Spirit Seed," and possessed multiple effects such as "deriving divine essence," "extending lifespan," and "enhancing the five elements and yin-yang techniques." It was a divinely gifted seed, seemingly of divine quality, so it was perfectly normal for its fruit to take a long time to mature. He asked with a smile:

"Approximately how long will it take?"

Xiao Hei thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...maybe a hundred years..."

"A hundred years?... "

Zhu Yu had thought that the "Starry Sky Wood" would take a long time to mature, but he never expected it to take so long—a hundred years? He had never spent so long cultivating from birth to his current "Foundation Establishment" stage.

"Let's go see the 'Starry Sky Tree'..."

Walking along, we soon arrived at the place where the "Starry Sky Tree" was rooted.

Today, the "Starry Sky Tree" is over ten zhang tall, with its canopy layered like an umbrella. The entire tree is like a piece of fine white jade, and its cool glow is like mist and gauze. From a distance, it looks like a laurel tree planted by immortals in the Great Moon Palace.

As Zhu Yu stepped into the cold, radiant light, a thought brimming with ancient vitality awakened. It seemed to pause for a moment, then surged forth with waves of anger and hostility.

Starry Sky Wood is getting anxious.

"You ugly thing that doesn't grow leaves, what are you doing here again..."

"There's an even more disgusting one... Ugh, it stinks..."

"Little Black, hurry up and get him out of here!" "Starry Sky Wood" was furious, absolutely livid...

"Let's go, let's go..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's face darkened.

All the "divinely bestowed spirit seeds" in the "insect world" are the same—lacking in character…

There was no other way; he still needed someone else to do the work. With a slight thought, he blocked out the "Starry Sky Wood's" nagging, walked closer, and placed his hand on its white jade-like trunk.

The touch was cool, and the "divine energy" flowed like a spring. Even he felt that his mind was much clearer.

"What a strange 'divinely bestowed seed'..."

Zhu Yu inwardly praised it, suppressed his thoughts, checked the information on "Starry Sky Wood," and found nothing amiss. Then, with a slight thought, he silently recited:

"Establish a model to analyze 'Starry Sky Wood God's Gift' and pair it with suitable food for growth."

Once the thought is formed, the Eye of True Vision directly provides the result.

The cultivation requirements for "Starry Sky Wood" are: 10 drops of "Vitality Elixir" daily, 10 Life Stones daily, and 1 Spirit Stone containing lunar elemental energy daily.

[Estimated ripening time for "Starry Sky Tree Fruit" is 90 years]

"It was only shortened by ten years..."

Zhu Yu frowned slightly, his eyes showing deep thought.

According to what he learned from "Hanabishi".

In the "insect world," some of the ten major tribes, such as the "big-nosed weevil," "red imported fire ant," and "big-winged wasp," have inherited many wild "divinely bestowed species" in their tribes, including top-level divinely bestowed species and even divinely bestowed species.

According to the information that "Hanabishi" heard from "Lord Yelianshan".

Every ten years, the ten tribes would sell some precious "divine fruits," all of which were freshly picked that year.

This can be seen.

Eight or nine out of ten of their clans have special breeding methods.

"Cultivation method..."

Zhu Yu murmured to himself, thinking of the "Moon Elf." If anyone knew the most about "Starry Sky Wood," there was no other choice.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. "It seems we'll have to leave the 'Starry Sky Wood' on it to see if it can mature ahead of schedule..."

He relayed the information to the distracted mind, gave Xiao Hei a few instructions, and then his figure vanished in an instant.

They returned to the mountaintop not long after.

Master Ma hurriedly returned and handed him a jade box.

"What is this?... "

Zhu Yu looked puzzled. Just as he was about to open it to check, he seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky. His gaze passed through layers of barriers, and a seemingly boundless, dark world came into view.

He raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly:

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore...?"

"Huh?" Following his gaze, Ma Zhenren could only see three full moons emitting a cold, clear light suspended in the dome; he saw nothing else.

Coming to his senses, Zhu Yu saw that Master Ma looked puzzled. Without explaining, he raised his hand and wiped it, and his magic manifested as a round mirror.

next moment.

A touch of blue suddenly appeared on the dim, unlit mirror.
