As the Huang Zhong Li shook its branches, a Huang Zhong Li fruit soon fell. After rolling a few times on the ground, it rolled to Xu Fang's front.
Xu Fang was overjoyed. This Huang Zhong Li could be called the number one in the Great Desolation for helping others!
Just now, he had smelled the scent of ten-thousand-year-old flowers, which confirmed the legends about the Huang Zhong Li. He had been contemplating how to pick a Huang Zhong Li fruit to see if it could truly help him break through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm as rumored.
Unexpectedly, the Huang Zhong Li didn't require him to act; a fruit had dropped on its own.
Opportunity was before him. Xu Fang did not stand on ceremony. He immediately shook his body and pounced towards the Huang Zhong Li fruit.
Seeing the spiritual grass pounce on the Huang Zhong Li fruit, the Huang Zhong Li's branches and leaves tightly wrapped around it, absorbing it bit by bit. The tree couldn't help but shake its branches again, quite satisfied.
[Huang Zhong Li: Haha! This little grass is indeed very spiritual. This time it's eating fruit all by itself!]
[Tai Chi Diagram: Listening to your description, I always feel the scene is a bit strange, grass eating fruit.]
[Pangu Banner: Yes, isn't this a bit like spiritual roots eating spiritual roots?]
[Qing Ping Sword: Stop talking. The scene is indeed a bit indescribable!]
[Enlightenment Tea Tree: Don't say that either. This Huang Zhong Li fruit has spiritual energy but no spirituality. It can only be considered an accessory to the spiritual root. This little grass, however, is quite surprising. Such a unique grass, I, a spiritual root for tens of thousands of years, have never seen anything like it!]
[Huang Zhong Li: Yes, it's my first time seeing it too. This is its opportunity! Wait, it seems to have absorbed it. Let me see if it can break through!]
The spiritual grass's branches and leaves were tightly entwined with the Huang Zhong Li fruit on the ground, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy within.
Soon, the plump Huang Zhong Li fruit became shriveled, its spiritual energy completely absorbed by the spiritual grass.
Instantly, a radiant light erupted, enveloping it.
Seeing this, Xu Fang did not panic at all. Knowing it was time for his breakthrough, he straightened his entire body, allowing the light to surround him.
The light flowed, its speed increasing, and the aura on the spiritual grass grew stronger.
When the speed became incredibly fast, the Huang Zhong Li could no longer see Xu Fang's condition. It only felt the surrounding spiritual energy being drawn by Xu Fang's aura, circulating madly, which made it even more astonished.
[Huang Zhong Li: I have to say, although this little grass looks ordinary, its comprehension is absolutely outstanding! I wonder if it can... Oh my, who is this handsome guy?]
Before the Huang Zhong Li could finish speaking, its entire tree trembled, shocked.
It turned out that after Xu Fang's aura reached its peak, it suddenly erupted, rippling outwards and dispelling all the light.
And where the vortex of spiritual energy had been, the spiritual grass was nowhere to be seen. Only a figure of a living being stood before it.
[Huang Zhong Li: It actually transformed? And at the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm? Wait, what does it mean by "Thanks to my elder brother Huang Zhong Li for the Huang Zhong Li fruit, 666, my friend"?]
Xu Fang had transformed into a living being. With a physical body, he hurriedly bowed to the Huang Zhong Li, expressing his gratitude.
The Huang Zhong Li naturally couldn't understand his strange words. It thought it was the unique language of the spiritual grass clan and overlooked the fact that Xu Fang had directly called out its name.
The Huang Zhong Li quickly sent out its thoughts.
"Hi!"
"Hey, grass over there, stop looking around. I'm talking to you. Who are you calling brother? Call me sister!"
This voice came from Xu Fang's mind, and he was astonished that the female voice belonged to the Huang Zhong Li fruit tree?
However, having been a spiritual grass before, Xu Fang quickly understood.
In fact, spiritual roots and magic treasures like them did not have obvious gender distinctions. The concepts of male and female were more based on their own will.
Therefore, Xu Fang, having transmigrated and retained his previous life's thoughts, had not changed his gender concept. He had transformed into a male.
"Thank you, Elder Sister Huang Zhong Li, for your strong assistance in helping me successfully transform!"
Xu Fang went along with the flow, bowing to the Huang Zhong Li again to express his gratitude.
"With such great kindness, I will never forget it. If there is ever anything you need my help with in the future, I will not hesitate!"
"Good!"
The Huang Zhong Li was indeed straightforward and agreed directly.
"Since you are so sincere, I will accept you as my little brother. Now, keep me company and chat!"
The Huang Zhong Li had helped Xu Fang because it saw his perseverance and his perfect embodiment of the tenacious qualities of a single blade of grass. It was deeply moved and felt that he deserved such resources.
Of course, besides that, the most important purpose was to have Xu Fang accompany it here so that it wouldn't be so lonely.
Xu Fang did not expect his polite words to lead the Huang Zhong Li to accept him so readily, and he was now in a difficult position.
"Elder Sister Huang Zhong Li, I have just transformed, and my realm is not yet stable. It is the time for me to cultivate properly."
"However, my transformation just now may have caused a great commotion, and I believe someone must have noticed. Shall I go and investigate?"
Xu Fang was naturally worried that his recent transformation had caused too much of a stir and attracted attention.
Although he now possessed the cultivation of a Da Luo Golden Immortal, he had no combat experience after just transforming.
If someone discovered this place, not only would he be exposed, but his benefactor tree, the Huang Zhong Li, would also be in danger.
Moreover, even if no one came, he needed to take the opportunity while it was still undiscovered to search for any treasures.
Therefore, he could not possibly chat with an ancient tree sister like the Huang Zhong Li.
Upon hearing this, the Huang Zhong Li became a little disheartened. It had gone to so much trouble just to have a companion in this little spiritual grass, and now it wanted to leave as soon as it transformed. Had all its efforts been in vain?
However, seeing the sincere expression on Xu Fang's face, the Huang Zhong Li was not unreasonable. After some deliberation, it sent its thoughts again.
"Alright! If that's the case, I understand your intentions."
"Go wherever you wish, but don't forget that this is our home, and I am your elder sister!"
How could the Huang Zhong Li not understand Xu Fang's thoughts? What was the point of investigating? Wasn't it just wanting to see the outside world?
After all, as a spiritual root, if it had transformed into a human, its first thought would undoubtedly be to go out and experience the beauty of the Great Desolation!
Putting itself in his shoes, how could it stop this little spiritual grass brother's eager and restless heart!
