Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor.

“Little Wood Sprite, don’t you recognize us?”

Seeing the little tree stump looking blank and bewildered, Baizhu immediately said:

“It was the Young Master and I who rescued you from the hands of villains, bestowed upon you a Foundation Establishment treasure, allowing you to rejuvenate and burst with vitality. The Young Master also enlightened you with great divine power, opening your wisdom and freeing you from ignorance. Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Quickly pay your respects to the Young Master!”

The "facial features" of the Little Wood Sprite were very exaggerated, like the anime characters Qiu Zhen had seen in his previous life, with large, round eyes that darted around before landing on Qiu Zhen.

Sensing a familiar and close aura, the confused sprite suddenly remembered something and became very excited, kneeling on the ground with its branches trembling, and speaking in human language:

“Greetings, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master, for saving me!”

“No need for formalities.”

Seeing that the Little Wood Sprite was still somewhat ignorant but could distinguish right from wrong and speak human language, Qiu Zhen knew that its spirituality was not weak and that the enlightenment had been very successful.

“This time, you have been reborn. What new divine abilities have you gained?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The Little Wood Sprite’s branches trembled excitedly, and as it spoke, its verdant leaves emitted lightning.

Initially, it was just a flash of lightning, and nothing could be discerned.

However, in a short moment, lightning rolled around the Little Wood Sprite, and a lightning spear entwined with lightning appeared in its hand. The sprite, who was usually innocent and ignorant, now appeared majestic, like a little god of thunder.

Qiu Zhen’s gaze fell on the lightning spear in the “Little Wood Sprite’s” hand, his eyes burning.

“Jia Wood Yang Lightning!”

Jia Wood is the head of the ten Heavenly Stems, dominating the four seasons and nurturing all things. It is pure Yang wood, governing the Qi of growth.

Jia Wood is thunder in the sky. Among the five elements of divine thunder, Jia Wood thunder is pure Yang thunder, the spring thunder of the four seasons, full of vitality.

The Wood Sprite belongs to "Jia Wood," its body is inherently strong, with the potential to reach the sky. After this transformation, it gained the divine ability to stimulate "Jia Wood Yang Lightning."

What’s even more wonderful is that it is a jujube tree struck by lightning, naturally gathering the Yin and Yang Qi of heaven and earth, and has the ability to gather the power of the five thunders, being extremely rigid and Yang, warding off evil and slaying demons.

The Little Wood Sprite’s [Jia Wood Yang Lightning] is probably not ordinary Jia Wood thunder, but a divine lightning that carries the heavenly might of the five thunders, warding off evil and slaying demons, extremely restraining against demons and evil spirits.

Good heavens.

Another lightning-based innate divine ability.

Qiu Zhen looked at Baizhu and the Little Wood Sprite beside him, feeling strange in his heart.

He cultivates thunder techniques, and the little fellows around him, one awakened the power of wind and thunder, swift and fierce, and the other controls the [Jia Wood Yang Lightning] with the divine power to ward off evil.

One after another controls lightning, it’s quite a coincidence.

“It’s also a good thing.”

Qiu Zhen pondered to himself, confirming that this coincidence was a good thing, which could cover up for him a little.

In the future, if he temporarily used thunder techniques, people would not suspect anything afterward, after all, the monsters under his command are all accustomed to thunder techniques.

“Not bad, not bad, Little Wood Sprite, you have become a proper demon general. The power of this lightning spear is too great, quickly withdraw your magic, lest you blow up my herb field.”

Qiu Zhen had a preliminary understanding of the Little Wood Sprite’s abilities and immediately asked it to withdraw its divine powers.

The current Little Wood Sprite is not a semi-finished "Wood Sprite Demon General" refined by the "Yuanhua" secret technique, but a proper war general among demons.

The demon beasts and spirits that have gained intelligence also have sociality, and their strength and status are strictly divided.

Ordinary little demons, demon generals, great demons, demon kings...

Baizhu had been following Qiu Zhen for a long time and was accustomed to the human perspective, so he called the demon general "innate."

In the demon race, ordinary monsters correspond to acquired martial artists, and demon generals are "innate martial artists," their strength is very powerful, and their destructive power is extremely great. If they show their strength like Baizhu did that day, the damage to the herb field would be a great loss.

As for the two great demons he saw in the mountains, they were the kings among demons, corresponding to the martial arts grandmasters of the human race.

Whether it is a great demon or a human martial arts grandmaster, they are all powerful figures, sitting in charge of one side.

In the martial world, the most active are still "innate martial artists" and "demon generals," which can be considered masters anywhere.

Qiu Zhen was in a great mood.

The Little Wood Sprite in front of him rejuvenated, transformed and was reborn, whether it was its own aura or its innate divine abilities, it had undergone tremendous changes compared to before.

Even if the old man was "Yuanhua" reborn, if he saw the "Little Wood Sprite," he probably wouldn’t recognize it and would recognize it as another demon beast.

In other words, the Little Wood Sprite can be properly placed on the bright side.

Having a proper "demon general" guardian on the bright side, facing the chaotic situation outside and unknown dangers, he has a lot more confidence.

“Okay!”

The Little Wood Sprite was very obedient, shaking its branches.

In a flash, the lightning spear and rolling thunder disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now.

Baizhu looked at this scene with envy.

It was one step away from the innate realm, and subsequent promotion was not difficult, but after all, it was not yet, and one step away was often a world apart.

Fortunately, Baizhu’s body is a fox, the most agile, if its strength can’t compare, it can compare in other aspects.

Immediately, Baizhu said:

“Little Wood Sprite, can you transform into a human?”

After speaking, Baizhu shook his body and transformed into a pink and jade-carved little boy.

“I can’t transform so delicately.”

The Little Wood Sprite touched its head honestly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qiu Zhen became interested:

“What can you transform into?”

The Little Wood Sprite thought for a while and said:

“As long as it’s not very delicate things, I seem to be able to transform into anything.”

As he spoke, the Little Wood Sprite shook his body and transformed into a small wooden figure, but it was full of carved air, and at first glance, it was a wooden dummy, far from Baizhu’s lifelike appearance.

Immediately afterward, the Little Wood Sprite transformed into a tall jujube tree, and then into a stool, and then into a round table, and even turned into a wooden comb.

It seems that it can transform into any wooden object as desired.

When Qiu Zhen saw this scene, his eyes lit up.

“Can you transform into a wooden sword?”

“Yes!”

With a "whoosh" sound.

The Little Wood Sprite transformed into a wooden sword, the hilt adorned with verdant leaves, full of vitality, and also possessing a power to ward off evil and suppress evil spirits.

“Can you transform into a thin needle?”

“Yes!”

With a shake of its body, the wooden sword turned into a thin needle resembling a silver needle.

“This…”

Qiu Zhen looked surprised and couldn’t help but ask:

“Little Wood Sprite, where did this transformation technique come from?”

“I don’t know either. After the Young Master enlightened me, I recalled my body being made into various objects, and I inexplicably learned this transformation technique.”

Qiu Zhen was overjoyed. He had found a treasure.

This transformation technique is not Baizhu’s "illusion technique." Baizhu’s essence is still a spirit fox.

The Little Wood Sprite is truly "transforming as desired," able to become large or small, with endless changes.

In other words, the Little Wood Sprite can transform into a wooden sword and act as a magic sword to assist him in performing rituals and casting spells, and transform into a "thin needle" to help him "exorcise evil."

This time, casting the [Enlightenment Immortal Technique] was a big profit, even more surprising than Baizhu awakening the [Wind Thunder Spirit Fox] bloodline.

“Ah~”

Baizhu on the side was also dumbfounded, feeling flustered in his heart.

He saw the Little Wood Sprite’s abilities in his eyes, and became more and more worried that his position would be insecure.

Now, it’s not just the title of "Young Master’s Number One Fierce General" that is insecure, but his position as "Big Brother" is also insecure.

“Little Wood Sprite, your abilities are really good, but everything should pay attention to who came first. I, Baizhu, first joined the Young Master’s command, you came later, I am the senior brother, quickly call me senior brother!”

How could the Little Wood Sprite know Baizhu’s tricks? Hearing that it made sense, it nodded like a pecking chicken, and with a "pa" sound, it was as respectful as when paying respects to Qiu Zhen:

“Greetings, Senior Brother Baizhu!”

Baizhu was very satisfied when he saw this:

“Hmm~ Not bad, not bad, Senior Brother will cover you in the future…”

Qiu Zhen smiled when he saw the two little fellows talking, and the anxiety caused by the Zhuang brothers’ sudden unprovoked visit was diluted a bit.

Immediately, he took out the porcelain bottle given by the two from his arms.

He didn’t dare to eat the elixirs given by strangers.

He didn’t even open it, fearing that there was a deadly poison hidden inside.

“I don’t know what’s inside. I’ll find Apothecary An tomorrow to take a look and check it out!”
