Xu Fang, hearing the words of the Huang Zhong Li tree, knew his thoughts had been seen through and felt a bit embarrassed, quickly speaking.
"Sister Huang Zhong Li, don't worry, I'll come back to see you when I have time. I hope you can succeed in transforming soon, and we can travel through the Great Desolation together!"
Xu Fang didn't have much of a psychological burden about inexplicably becoming Huang Zhong Li's little brother.
After all, if it weren't for this enthusiastic Huang Zhong Li tree, he would still be a wisp of grass hopping around on the ground, confused.
Even if Huang Zhong Li tree helped him largely because it was too lonely and wanted a companion, Xu Fang was grateful for its kindness.
"Alas, I am different from you. I am a先天灵根 (Xiantian Linggen - Innate Spiritual Root). Although I have received the great fortune of heaven and earth, I am also limited by heaven and earth. I cannot appear in the world until the appointed time."
Huang Zhong Li's consciousness conveyed a sense of loss.
This was the biggest difference between them, the Innate Spiritual Roots, and ordinary spiritual roots. Although this little brother in front of him wasn't as powerful as himself in terms of origin, he was clearly much freer than himself.
"So that's how it is!"
Xu Fang suddenly understood. He had heard some things in the chat group earlier, and now his thoughts were confirmed.
He had just been wondering if he should dig up this Huang Zhong Li tree. Now, it seemed such an action would be no different from the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf. Fortunately, he hadn't acted rashly.
"Yes! As a congenital spiritual root, I am also very bothered. I have no freedom!"
The Huang Zhong Li tree sighed, then asked.
"You have transformed into human form this time and are traveling through the Great Desolation. Have you thought of a name for yourself?"
"Xu Fang!"
Xu Fang quickly replied. Since he had transformed into a human, he would naturally continue to use his name from his previous life.
"I see. That's fine, I suppose!"
Huang Zhong Li's consciousness conveyed, again with a hint of disappointment.
"Alright, enough talk. You just transformed into human form. Although there's a great formation concealing it, you might still be noticed. Go and investigate!"
Huang Zhong Li naturally didn't want anyone to notice this place. It hadn't matured yet, and if it were uprooted, all its previous efforts would be in vain.
"Okay! Big Sister, I will come back!"
Xu Fang bowed deeply to the Huang Zhong Li tree, then turned and walked out of the great formation.
Watching Xu Fang's figure disappear from sight and then reappear outside the great formation, the Huang Zhong Li tree felt a sense of loneliness and began to complain in the group.
【Huang Zhong Li: Alas, this kid left as soon as he said so, so decisively. He doesn't even care about me, his big sister!】
【Tai Ji Tu: What's wrong? That little grass has successfully transformed, and you've recognized him as your little brother?】
【Pan Gu Fan: Haha! That's good. You could have kept him to accompany you. Why did you let him go?】
【Huang Zhong Li: Enough, enough. I've been bored here alone for so long, I can understand his feelings. But I wanted to give him a name, and he actually picked one himself!】
【Qing Ping Jian: So you're disappointed because you couldn't name him? Tell me, what name were you planning to give him?】
【Huang Zhong Li: I am the Huang Zhong Li tree. He transformed into a human from my Huang Zhong Li fruit, so he has a great connection to me. Therefore, I had decided that one of us sisters would be named Da Li Zi (Big Plum) and the other Xiao Li Zi (Little Plum)!】
Xiao Li Zi!
Xu Fang, who was already investigating the surroundings on this immortal island, stumbled upon hearing this name and almost fell.
Images involuntarily flashed before his eyes, of the stunning beauty standing at the bow of the ship, and of the carefree splashing with a water gun.
The scene was too beautiful, so Xu Fang quickly shook his head and dispelled the thought.
Fortunately, he had answered quickly enough. Otherwise, he would have truly ended up with the title of Xiao Li Zi.
However, some things were not dictated by Xu Fang's will.
【Huang Zhong Li: I've decided. No matter what, this name is now set. Isn't Xiao Li Zi better sounding than that kid Xu Fang? By the way, my little brother is Xu Fang. If you meet him in the future, don't go for the kill, or I won't let you off!】
【Tai Ji Tu: Got it, got it. This Xiao Li Zi is under your protection, so of course, we'll give him face.】
【Pan Gu Fan: We all mix in the Great Desolation. We'll see each other around. Of course, we'll leave some room for maneuver in everything.】
【Qing Ping Jian: Haha! Don't worry, my Tong Tian and his two brothers are only at the Da Luo Golden Immortal level right now, which is similar to this Xiao Li Zi.】
【Hun Dun Zhong: I do have an idea. Since Huang Zhong Li can instantly create a Da Luo Golden Immortal like Xiao Li Zi, why not make a few more?】
【Shi Shen Qiang: Good question! If we can do this, wouldn't it be possible to create an army of Da Luo Golden Immortals in an instant and conquer the Great Desolation?】
【Zao Hua Yu Die: Enough, enough. Luo Hou is already finished. Just retire peacefully. Still thinking about conquering the Great Desolation? Wu Dao Cha Shu (Enlightenment Tea Tree), tell them.】
【Wu Dao Cha Shu: You are indeed overthinking. Do you really think that piling a bunch of spiritual herbs under the Huang Zhong Li tree will make them all succeed? This Xiao Li Zi is astonishing. He is almost the smartest magical artifact I have ever seen. Even if he were ordinary, his comprehension would be unparalleled. His success is his destiny. This path cannot be imitated!】
【Huang Zhong Li: That's right. Although my Xiao Li Zi is an ordinary spiritual herb, he is extraordinary! As for anything else, even if you empty my entire Huang Zhong Li, it will be useless!】
【Tai Ji Tu: Exactly. If it were really like this, then Qing Ping Jian's Tong Tian and his Three Pure Ones transformation wouldn't seem so remarkable!】
【Pan Gu Fan: But I have to say, although this Xiao Li Zi doesn't have the same origin as the Three Pure Ones, his comprehension is much stronger than the Three Pure Ones, and his destiny is also extraordinary!】
【Qing Ping Jian: It's hard not to agree. A seemingly ordinary little grass actually seized a one-in-a-million opportunity and managed to latch onto a wealthy older sister like Huang Zhong Li!】
【Huang Zhong Li: That's why I say my Xiao Li Zi is capable. He is indeed the spiritual herb that I, Huang Zhong Li, recognized at first sight!】
Xu Fang looked at the messages in the group and helplessly accepted his title as Xiao Li Zi.
After all, the grace of transformation was like a rebirth. Whatever his elder sister Huang said, so be it!
Xu Fang also abandoned another idea in his heart.
He had originally thought about placing many spiritual herbs near the Huang Zhong Li tree, and soon they would be able to transform into humans like him, all born with the realm of Da Luo Golden Immortal.
As the magical artifacts had said, if this really happened, the Three Pure Ones transformation wouldn't seem so extraordinary anymore!
Ordinary spiritual herbs were not like him, a transmigrator, who was enlightened from birth. How could they be like him?
"Forget it. I'd better check the surrounding situation."
Xu Fang abandoned this idea. The most important thing now was to see if there was any danger here.
Only after confirming his safety could he truly relax, no longer having to worry about his benefactor, his spiritual root sister, and then he could properly travel through the Great Desolation.
