Chapter 376 The Spirit Plant Speaks

Don't underestimate that small seedling; its radiance surpasses that of the cold pool and the little jade within.

Murong Fu could also see Xiaoyu's condition at this moment, even though she had a thick, hard, ice-like outer shell.

But Murong Fu could clearly see the powerful vitality hidden within... perhaps it should be called life force.

Thinking of this, Murong Fu pulled Xiao Bing, who was swimming in the cold pool, out.

Because Xiao Bing's physique had been growing steadily over the years, and her horns had been growing longer and harder, she was no longer as suitable to be wrapped around his body as before. Therefore, Murong Fu kept her and Xiao Yu together in this cold pool.

In comparison to Murong Fu, Xiao Bing still has a slight edge in terms of vitality.

He then threw it back into the cold pool, and Murong Fu turned to look at the seedling.

Its vitality is two or three times that of Xiao Bing and Xiao Yu combined, which is truly outrageous.

Looking at the tiny leaf veins and tender branches, Murong Fu never expected that the sprouts from the wisdom fruit kernel would have such great vitality. It was truly amazing.

Since Murong Fu's consciousness left his body and he was able to travel to the heavens in spirit, he felt that his spirit and thoughts could be used like true qi, but the method and effect were completely different.

True energy is like an extension of the limbs; it can shatter stones, lift heavy objects, and kill without a trace...

The power of thought, on the other hand, is perception, which is even more mysterious and profound.

Although true qi can also be sensed, this perception is similar to touching an object with one's hand; it remains at the surface level.

However, spiritual perception can perceive the essence of things. The spiritual energy and vitality that Murong Fu just sensed is a kind of energy that ordinary people cannot perceive.

When Murong Fu touched the seedling with his spirit again, he suddenly felt that the seedling seemed to be conveying some kind of message to him.

It's as if they want to speak?

Murong Fu sensed something was amiss, but then he thought, since snakes and silkworms could communicate with him through thought, why couldn't plants do the same?

This is no ordinary plant; it's a Wisdom Fruit Core rewarded by the system, grown with spiritual spring water. There's only one of these seedlings in several worlds!

He then simulated the way the system established a connection between him and his pets, pouring his mental energy into the seedlings.

He clearly sensed the seedling's meaning: "Hungry!"

"eager!"

"A sacred spring!"

These were all fragmented and unsystematic expressions of desire, but Murong Fu realized that the other party seemed to want more Fountain of Youth.

"Do you want more Fountain of Youth? How much?"

Murong Fu also relayed his question to the other party, but the response was still "hunger" and "spring water."

Such words.

It seems that these seedlings do not yet have a full capacity for thinking and expression, and can only express their desires in simple ways, like babies or cats and dogs.

Murong Fu remembered that he had assigned Abi to water the spirit spring, and he never doubted Abi's obedience.

Abi, Azhu, and Wang Yuyan are definitely the most loyal to themselves.

Therefore, Murong Fu thought that perhaps the amount of spiritual spring water poured on the plants was insufficient.

So he used his true energy to draw some spiritual spring water from a nearby spot, turned it into a mist, and sprayed it into the pot of tender sprouts.

"well!"

"A sacred spring!"

"More, more!"

Murong Fu's mental energy remained attached to the seedling, fearing that he might accidentally overwater it with the spiritual spring and drown it.

But to my surprise, the seedlings kept asking for more.

Murong Fu also increased the intensity of the water spraying, which made the seedlings even happier.

Moreover, according to Murong Fu's observation, the seedling's root system was frantically absorbing water, then growing and spreading rapidly, absorbing water again after growing, and soon filling the entire vase.

In just a few moments, it cracked the flowerpot!

Murong Fu had never seen such a plant before, but he figured that the more extraordinary something was, the more peculiar its behavior would be.

Murong Fu transplanted it to the courtyard and then watered it even more vigorously.

Since this time it wasn't on solid ground, Murong Fu didn't need to control it so precisely; anyway, it didn't matter if the surrounding ground got wet.

Soon, the seedling said, "I'm full! I'm full!"

Murong Fu also stopped irrigating the spiritual spring.

Seeing the green seedling grow from two or three inches tall to more than a foot tall in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, with its roots reaching more than ten meters underground, Murong Fu was amazed.

I tried to ask what kind of animal it was, but there was no response. It just kept expressing that it was full and happy.

It seems that he is now unable to communicate.

The spirit beast space was unable to react to it, let alone subdue it.

I don't know if it's a problem with the seedlings or with my own spirit beast space permissions.

Murong Fu's idea of ​​using this space to identify his origins failed, and he can only make plans for the future.

If you calculate carefully, in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, this seedling has absorbed about four buckets of spiritual spring water.

But Murong Fu didn't know whether this was the normal amount or the amount he had been drinking because he hadn't been drinking enough before.

So the plan is to stay here for three days and then make adjustments.

Three days later, Murong Fu calculated that the seedling needed two buckets of spiritual spring water to irrigate it every day.

But I definitely don't have that much time to water it every day; it should be left to someone else...

Just then, Jiajing was not far away, wearing a fragrant crown made of various wildflowers and vines, leading a group of children surnamed Wu, and even two of Murong Fu's offspring, imitating the gliding posture of cranes and reciting poetry: "Practice until your figure resembles that of a crane..."

""

Seeing that Jiajing, at his age, still had such thoughts, Murong Fu couldn't help but admire his childlike heart...

Using his telekinesis, he transmitted his voice into Jiajing's mind: "Come here, Feixuan."

Feixuan is the abbreviation of Jiajing's Daoist title. Historically, he gave himself three Daoist titles: "Lingxiao Shangqing Tonglei Yuanyang Miaoyi Feixuan Zhenjun", "Jiutian Hongjiao Puji Shengling Zhangyin Yanggongguo Dadao Siren Ziji Xianweng Yiyang Zhenren Yuanxu Xuanying Kaihua Fumo Zhongxiao Dijun", and "Taishang Daluo Tianxian Ziji Changsheng Shengzhi Zhaoling Tongsanyuan Zhengying Yuxu Zongguan Wulei Dazhenren Xuandu Jing Wanshou Dijun".

Each one is longer than the last, and when you add in their other titles: grandson of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, nephew of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, younger brother of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, son of Emperor Ruizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu You... it's safe to say that the Everlasting Spring Valley can hardly hold all these people.

As can be seen from his name, Emperor Jiajing in history became increasingly inhuman.

Is this a title he can use?

However, later generations of Tartars changed their name to Feiyuan Zhenjun Murong Fu because the character "Xuan" was the same as a certain emperor's name, in order to avoid the taboo. Murong Fu obviously did not care about any subsequent taboos. With him around, the tribes of the White Mountains and Black Waters could hunt and pay tribute in peace. It was already a mercy of the emperor and father that Murong Fu did not slaughter them. The mandate of heaven could not fall on them.

Tell the newly arrived Jiajing Emperor directly that his Taoist name from now on should be Feixuan. As for Zhenjun, Dijun... those are things he wouldn't even dare to think about after becoming an immortal.

Now that he's not even a Xiantian (innate level), calling him Zhenjun (true lord) or Dijun (emperor) will only make him a laughingstock.

Upon hearing this, Jiajing repeatedly agreed. If anyone had dared to say such a thing before, Jiajing would certainly have been furious.

But when Murong Fu said that, he instantly felt that his master was spurring him on and leading him onto the right path, and he was very happy.

Jiajing, who was running in the sunset, was startled when he heard Murong Fu's voice suddenly appear in his mind.

He claimed he was dreaming, but lately he had indeed been dreaming of Murong Fu frequently at night. This "strict teacher and kind father" would teach him the way to immortality in his dreams, which always moved him to tears of gratitude.

But when he turned his head and saw that Murong Fu was indeed watching him from the small courtyard by the river not far away, he suddenly realized that this was his master's doing.

She immediately said goodbye to the children and ran to Murong Fu's side.

Murong Fu nodded as he watched Jiajing's light and agile steps and sensed the true energy within his body.

He remembered that during the first two days after Jiajing arrived, he drank the water from the Fountain of Immortality every day.

Although it was a bit tough, it did remove most of the hidden injuries and residual heavy metals from his body.

Although the Fountain of Immortality had its effects, the fact that Jiajing was able to master the Lesser Formless Skill so quickly shows that he had a deep understanding of the Taoist scriptures and that he was also quite talented in martial arts.

He's really wasted over those thirty years!

Murong Fu judged that if Jiajing had practiced techniques like Xiaowuxiang Gong or even Mingyu Gong from a young age, he would certainly be a master of innate skill by now at the age of thirty, if not a grandmaster, and most likely at the level of one of the Four Great Masters.

His talent surpasses that of Huang Yaoshi by a significant margin.

Becoming an emperor was a terrible career choice.

"Master, you called me."

When Jiajing approached Murong Fu, he was as respectful as a child in his thirties.

However, Murong Fu never formally accepted him as a disciple, but he let him call him master and was too lazy to correct him.

Murong Fu pointed to the seedling and said to Jiajing, "Feixuan, from today onwards, you will be responsible for watering this spiritual plant."

Every morning and evening, a bucket of spiritual spring water.

As Murong Fu spoke, he pointed to the bucket next to him.

That bucket can probably hold twenty or thirty pounds of water.

Jiajing looked at the spiritual plant, which was only about a foot long, and said in disbelief, "Master, you've been using two buckets of water a day..."

"I hope I don't kill this tiny seedling by overwatering."

Murong Fu said, "You'll know when you start watering tomorrow."

Then Murong Fu used his inner energy to draw water and sprayed it onto the leaves like a mist.

"Aim to reach this level of performance, but don't spend too much time on it."

"I'm giving you this one task. Can you complete it?"

Seeing Murong Fu's miraculous skills, Jiajing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, this disciple is able to do it."

When will I be able to learn this...?

Murong Fu didn't suppress his disciple like an ordinary master would, saying things like, "You're still far from good enough, don't be delusional."

Instead of saying anything like that, he clearly stated: "You can do it when you reach the Innate Realm."

Emperor Jiajing was well-versed in Taoist scriptures and naturally knew what "innate" represented.

The Book of Changes (Yi Jing) states in the Qian hexagram: "The great man is one whose virtue is in harmony with Heaven and Earth; whose brightness is in harmony with the sun and moon; whose order is in harmony with the four seasons; whose fortune and misfortune are in harmony with the spirits. He acts before Heaven and Heaven does not contradict him; he acts after Heaven and follows the timing of Heaven."

Murong Fu had explained this to him before. He was currently in the Acquired Realm. He needed to open up the Ren and Du meridians and then form a large circulation of true qi within his body to continuously generate it before he could enter the next realm, which was the Innate Realm.

Even after Jiajing agreed, Murong Fu was not completely at ease. After all, he had only known Jiajing for a short time. Although Jiajing had been behaving very well recently, he was, after all, a professional emperor who had not attended court for twenty years. He could not be allowed to run wild.

His laziness is a minor issue; what's serious is that it hinders the growth of the spiritual plants.

Then, with a single thought, Murong Fu appeared beside Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan, who was playing the zither, was startled and stood up, saying, "Cousin, how did you suddenly appear here... Weren't you just by the river?"
