In the chat group, listening to the banter between Taiji Tu and Pangu Fan, Huang Zhong Li was quite pleased.
Indeed, ever since gaining sentience, it had been alone. This resilient spirit grass, though not of high grade, was a small companion.
However, seeing the spirit grass in front of it struggling to uproot itself, swaying its form, and completely oblivious to its presence, Huang Zhong Li quickly became disappointed.
[Huang Zhong Li: Alas, this spirit grass's cultivation is too low. Even though it has gained sentience, it cannot perceive my existence or communicate with me. This has only made me more lonely!]
[Taiji Tu: In that case, it's almost better not to have met. So close yet so far. It would be better for us to chat in this group!]
[Pangu Fan: Haha! As the saying goes, one can endure darkness before seeing the light. Now, this spirit grass is right before our eyes, yet we cannot communicate at all. Isn't this just adding fuel to the loneliness?]
[Qing Ping Jian: Little Huang Zhong, shall I ask Tong Tian to pull you out and bring you to keep me company?]
[Huang Zhong Li: No, no, I can't move easily now. Innate spiritual treasures are different from ordinary spirit grasses. If they are moved before their time to emerge, their effect will be greatly reduced, causing irreversible damage!]
[Wu Dao Tea Tree: That's right. It's the same for us high-level spiritual roots. We can only be moved when it's time for us to mature and emerge. Otherwise, the impact cannot be compensated for.]
[Chaos Bell: You spirit grasses and roots are really troublesome. The higher the grade, the more difficult you are to handle!]
[God Slaying Spear: Exactly! It's much better to be a magical artifact like us. No so many restrictions, we can fight wholeheartedly!]
[Chaos Bell: Haha! Well said, high five!]
[God Slaying Spear: High five!]
[Creation Jade Butterfly: Alright, alright, you two stop making sarcastic remarks. Huang Zhong Li, you can't move now, but don't you contain a lot of spiritual energy? Share some with this little spirit grass friend beside you. You want a companion but don't want to pay, how can that be?]
[Wu Dao Tea Tree: That's right, this is a very good method. I did the same, and now I have a lot of little friends around me. Huang Zhong Li, you can try this!]
Hearing this, Xu Fang, who had been struggling to uproot himself in the form of a spirit grass, also stopped, waiting for the senior spiritual root, Huang Zhong Li, to give him some spiritual energy.
However, after a moment of silence, Huang Zhong Li soon sighed in the group.
[Huang Zhong Li: Alas, it's not that I'm stingy. Didn't I just say I can't move? If my roots move, my vital energy will be greatly depleted! This little spirit grass is outside the protective grand array, and my spiritual energy is also isolated. I truly have the will but not the power, and can only regret my inability to help!]
[Wu Dao Tea Tree: That's true. All the little friends around me are within the protective grand array. It's indeed troublesome for Huang Zhong Li like this!]
[Chaos Bell: If that's the case, it's really troublesome. Why don't we just fight!]
[God Slaying Spear: Absolutely, absolutely! With this and that, fighting is much more satisfying! High five!]
[Chaos Bell: High five, high five!]
[All Magical Artifacts: .]
Well, these two war-mongering magical artifacts have hit it off after just a few words in the group!
As for Xu Fang, upon hearing this, the hope that had just ignited in his heart was instantly extinguished.
"Alas, do I really have to continue to be unable to uproot myself here?"
Xu Fang lamented in his heart. Such a great opportunity was right in front of him, yet he was powerless!
"No, I've finally transmigrated to the Primordial World. If I continue to live on as a spirit grass, what's the difference from dying directly?"
Xu Fang thought to himself, and then considered that in the future, when Huang Zhong Li emerged, countless powerful experts would surely come here.
At that time, being unable to move beside Huang Zhong Li, he would naturally be mistaken for a spirit grass. Well, he was indeed a spirit grass. Then the immortals who came treasure hunting would surely pick him up.
Then they would refine him, this spirit grass, and after completely draining him, he would have no spiritual energy and thus no life.
That would not be good. This would truly be the most unlucky and inexplicable death among transmigrators.
Upon thinking of this, Xu Fang immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
"No, I can't let this happen. Absolutely not!"
He had transmigrated to the Primordial World. Even if he couldn't become a king or a overlord, at least he wanted to see the Primordial World. He didn't want to die as a spirit grass!
Therefore, to change his fate, Xu Fang quickly composed himself and began his difficult process of uprooting himself again.
Huang Zhong Li watched this scene from the side, deeply moved and filled with emotion.
[Huang Zhong Li: Alas, this little spirit grass is truly tenacious. It's still trying to pull out its roots! It makes me feel so sympathetic that I almost want to risk great depletion of my vital energy to help it!]
[Wu Dao Tea Tree: Don't, don't. With the protective grand array here, even if you want to help, you can't. It will only harm yourself!]
[Creation Jade Butterfly: Yes, if you do that, you'll be directly kicked out of the ranks of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. Don't act rashly!]
[Huang Zhong Li: But, looking at this little spirit grass, I really can't be so heartless. Although I am plant, I also have feelings!]
[Taiji Tu: Don't be impulsive. Don't deplete yourself and still be unable to help it.]
[Pangu Fan: Yes, wait for ten thousand years, and we'll come to pick you up!]
[Qing Ping Jian: Exactly. Endure the loneliness for now. Wouldn't it be a happy ending to join our Sanqing magical artifact family later?]
Everyone advised Huang Zhong Li against acting rashly, lest it suffer losses.
Huang Zhong Li also understood that the protective grand array was formed innately. Before it matured, it could not leave this grand array, and its aura could not be emitted.
Therefore, even if it was willing to help this little spirit grass and disregard the consequences of greatly depleting its vital energy, it might not be able to help it.
In that case, not only would it fail to help the little spirit grass, but it would also suffer immense and irreversible damage.
This would truly be losing both the wife and the soldiers!
Huang Zhong Li was helpless. After sighing a few times, it finally hardened its heart.
[Huang Zhong Li: Little grass, little grass, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't! I think you should stop wasting your energy. You can't uproot yourself. Wait! You actually managed to uproot yourself through sheer tenacity?]
It was Xu Fang, who after countless attempts, finally mustered all his strength and yanked himself out, throwing himself onto the ground!
