She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 56: Tree Name Fusang (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Xie Lian would of course not admit it and immediately explained.

"It's just our first meeting, so we're a little unfamiliar."

Danyangzi waved his hand.

"After I heard Shao Yan's description of the situation here, I have great respect for you. My heart has already flown here. So I am not unfamiliar with you. If you don't mind, you can just call me you."

This title was quite new to Xie Lian. From the moment they met, Dan Xian had been calling her “fellow Taoist”.

Of course she didn't reject it.

Dan Yangzi's wish was immediately fulfilled. After calling him fellow Taoist, he sat down with a big laugh.

I have to say that this guy is a social expert. He is even better at talking than Xie Lian, who loves to chat with people. After just a few words, they became closer, as if they had really known each other for many years.

Danyangzi tasted the ordinary tea in the cup without showing any abnormality, but he felt a little emotional in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Xie has truly completely integrated into the world of mortals."

He squinted his eyes, looked at the old locust tree above his head that provided shade, and said with a smile.

"When I praised this tree earlier, it wasn't entirely a joke. Under the cultivation of Fellow Daoist Xie, this tree has completely gotten rid of its evil spirits and is about to transform into a fairy tree. When it matures, even I, the Taoist, will call this tree Fellow Daoist when I see it."

Xie Lian was a little surprised.

The lame Taoist had previously spoken highly of the old locust tree, and now a true immortal has made a similar judgment.

She looked at the old locust tree suspiciously and reflected on herself for a second.

"According to what you said, isn't it a bit of a waste of talent if I only let this old Huai do some odd jobs?"

"It is its destiny to be able to do odd jobs for you. Besides, it is still a long way from reaching maturity. I don't know if there will ever be a day when I can call it my fellow Taoist. As for now, what I am really thinking about is the pagoda tree flowers it has blossomed."

"Sophora japonica?"

"Well, Sophora japonica flowers are a cold medicine, and they are perfect for refining certain elixirs. It is said that many people in the world use Sophora japonica flowers as food, but I don't know what they taste like."

"Sophora japonica flowers usually bloom in April and May, so it's not far away. When the flowers bloom, I'll give you a few kilograms to make pills.

"Ah, it's only a few pounds."

The two chatted and drank tea, laughing from time to time.

Only the old locust tree felt anxious and worried, and its branches were shaking. It felt overwhelmed when these two people were serious about dividing up its flowers.

Time passed quickly. It was already evening, and the two chatted for a while before seeing that it was getting dark.

Xie Lian finally woke up from his dream. How could he entertain such an important guest with only a pot of tea?

He quickly asked Xiaozhuang next door to run errands and buy some wine and food, while he himself tidied up the yard to make it tidy so as to receive the guests.

Just as he was about to move the easel under the locust tree, he was stopped by Danyangzi.

"Fellow Daoist Xie is painting? Can I have a look?"

He stood up curiously.

"Are you interested, fellow Daoist? Please give me some pointers."

Xie Lian didn’t have any psychological burden. His current level was not high, but if he could get more guidance, he might improve faster.

Dan Yangzi was not at all vague and walked straight forward. Originally he just wanted to taste it and say a few good words, but after a closer look, he found that Xie Lian was only at the level of a beginner.

Of course, I couldn't utter words of admiration, but instead felt surprised.

"What did you draw, fellow Taoist?"

He had no idea what Xie Lian wanted to draw.

It looks like a tree, but this tree is too huge and looks a bit strange, at least Danyangzi has never seen one before. And although this tree is huge, it is obviously not the protagonist. There is a lot of blank space in the scroll. According to the structure of the painting, the next thing to be drawn is probably the real protagonist.

In other words, the tree is just a foundation.

"What I drew is a sacred tree called Fusang."

Xie Lian's eyes flashed with anticipation.

"The sacred Fusang tree?"

Dan Yangzi was stunned for a second, then frowned, because he quickly thought about it and confirmed that he had never heard of the name of this tree.

But the world is so vast that there are no wonders.

Although he is a true immortal, he is not arrogant enough to think that he knows everything.

Since you don't understand, then just ask openly.

"I think I have some knowledge, but I have never heard of this sacred tree you mentioned.

Xie Lian was not surprised by this result.

She had been traveling through time for more than a day or two and had a certain understanding of this world.

Overall, this world has similarities with ancient China, but they are just similarities.

For example, the famous hibiscus tree has never appeared in this world.

"According to legend, Fusang is located on the east coast of the East China Sea. Ten thousand miles away from the shore, there is another blue sea to the east, which is as wide and vast as the East China Sea. Fusang is in the blue sea, and there are many trees on the land. Their leaves are like mulberry trees, some are several thousand feet long, and the largest are more than two thousand feet in circumference. The trees grow in pairs from the same root, and they rely on each other, so they are named Fusang."

Xie Lian recalled the myths and legends of his previous life, speaking of them as if he knew them all by heart.

Dan Yangzi opened his mouth slightly when he heard this. How could this sacred Fusang tree be so amazing? Thousands of feet long and more than 2,000 feet wide?

Oh my god.
Even with his knowledge, it was hard for him to imagine. If there really was a tree like this, could it still be considered a tree? Any leaf could be used to run a horse, right? What kind of towering tree was this?

A single tree makes all the other mountains pale in comparison.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't take it too seriously. What Xie said is just a nonsense legend. Don't take it seriously."

Xie Lian said casually.

Isn't it a legend?

However, Danyangzi felt that Xie Lian seemed to be perfunctory in his response.

He didn’t know why, but when Xie Lian introduced it before, he didn’t doubt its authenticity, but just felt it was a little unbelievable. But now that Xie Lian denied it and told him not to take it seriously, he felt that this was not the truth.

Could it be that in the distant and unknown past, there really was such a sacred tree growing on the shores of the East China Sea?

Danyangzi was also obviously misled, and the lame Taoist told him all his guesses about Xie Lian's identity.

He was only half-believing and half-doubting before, but after meeting Xie Lian, he could be said to be 70% convinced and 30% not doubting.

However, he was very experienced and his thoughts were not revealed on the surface. It seemed that he believed what Xie Lian said, so he nodded and asked.

"So, Brother Xie wants to draw this Fusang sacred tree that doesn't exist in reality just based on a few words from myths and legends?"

"It's not entirely based on records. I do have some vague impressions in my mind that I can use as a reference."
