Reborn as a tree

Chapter 172 I Can Photosynthesize Again

As time went by, He Jiu's stump gradually changed.

The scorched black marks on his tree's body gradually fell off, revealing the delicate bark inside.

There are still some water stains on these tender green barks, as if the green ink has just been splashed on the bark.

After a while, most of the water stains evaporated into the air, and only a few places were still brightly colored.

These bright barks are like lines drawn with a brush, and after a few chats, a human face is faintly drawn.

Vaguely, one can see a trace of He Jiu's shadow as a human from this human face.

After a gust of wind blows, the fresh bark is quickly dried and blends with the surrounding old bark.

And the faintly revealed human face naturally disappeared.

However, He Jiu gave people an inexplicable difference from before.

Under the tree, He Tianliang could not help but slightly nodded after seeing it.

He Tianliang still has confidence in He Jiu's understanding.

He believed that as long as his apprentice was awakened, he would be able to figure it out.

When the newly grown branches on He Jiu's tree stump swayed with the wind again, He Tianliang comforted him and said, "Have you figured it out?"

He Jiu tapped the roots first, then shook his head and said, "I haven't fully figured it out yet, but I already have an idea."

He Tianliang said with relief: "It's good to have an idea, and think about those things that don't make sense later."

After He Jiu stretched the branch as if stretching his waist, he asked, "Master, when did you find out that I was not in the right state?"

He Tianliang backed away and scratched his ears, "It started when you said I wagged my tail!"

He Jiu's stretched branches were fixed in mid-air, and he asked in surprise, "Isn't that when you just woke up?"

He Tianliang continued to scratch his ears and said, "That's right, I was wondering why I have this habit.

At first, I just thought it was a residual memory of the cat's body.But then, I found that I had a desire to wag my tail.

Since then, I have known that this is not as simple as the residual consciousness of the body.

Afterwards, while I was examining my own thoughts, I was also observing you.

I found that your daily behavior during this period is different from the previous life in many ways.

It is very likely that this world is assimilating us foreign souls. "

He Jiu was a little dazed when he heard it, and he murmured, "Why didn't I find out?"

He Tianliang shook his head and said, "Although your cultivation talent is high, you are still too young.

Moreover, you are obsessed with cultivation, so you naturally lack experience. I have asked you to study more, but you just don't listen..."

For a while, He Tianliang turned on the preaching mode again.

This time, He Jiu was not impatient, but began to savor the teachings of his master.

After a while, He Jiu found that He Tianliang was still wagging his tail while preaching.

He asked curiously, "Master, since you discovered this problem, why are you still wagging your tail?"

He Tianliang shook his ears twice and said: "Shake it if you want, as long as I stick to my heart, old man, these are all minor details.

These actions should be the cat's favorite actions during his lifetime.

I find that I often do similar movements to control my body to be more flexible.

Since it is beneficial, why not do it? "

'You are right...'

Before He Jiu could speak, He Tianliang pointed to the bottle of plant growth medicine not far away and said, "Just like that bottle of medicine.

Since it is good for your growth and does not violate your principles of life, why don't you use it? "

He Jiu didn't expect that the master would be waiting for him here.

But for this kind of medicine, He Jiu no longer has too much grudge in his heart.

Just now when he examined himself, he found that the rejection of this medicine did not come entirely from himself.

The species of the ancient tree that He Jiu came across is extremely special, and there are almost no close relatives.

In other words, it has nothing to do with He Jiu, no matter what kind of ancient trees are refined into potions.At most, some things hurt its kind.

According to what He Tianliang said, for He Jiu, this medicine is no different from the pork he ate in his previous life.

The previous distaste for potions from the bottom of his heart was actually influenced by the ancient tree unconsciously and magnified by some kind of power.

After the epiphany, although He Jiu was unwilling to destroy other ancient trees for his own growth.But for this kind of medicine, it is not as repulsive as before.

He Jiu shook the branch and said, "You're right, I'll just taste what this thing tastes like."

After he finished speaking, he opened the bottle cap and took a little medicine from it.

With the influx of this medicine, He Jiu felt a strange vitality exuded from the inside out.

He began to absorb a large amount of nutrients from the soil, and the energy stored in his body also began to surge upwards.

At the same time, dozens of sprouting spots popped up on his trunk.The existing branches began to grow wildly.

He Jiu silently felt the changes in his body for a while, and found that his state was somewhat similar to the state after being stimulated by the changes contained in the rainy season.

It's just that this kind of stimulation is dozens of times stronger than that of the rainy season, and it's a bit unnatural.

Just as He Jiu realized it silently, countless branches grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The longest branch among them grew to a length of ten feet in just a short moment, and it was still growing crazily.

Even the trunk above his head grew about half a meter taller.

And the roots he cut off in the catastrophe also gave birth to a large number of branches, which began to extend out in the soil.

This crazy growth continued for half a day, and there was still no sign of stopping.

However, the energy accumulated in He Jiu's body was running out.

Although he was still frantically absorbing the nutrients in the soil, whether it was the energy produced by photosynthesis or the vitality in his body, they were already insufficient.

'It seems that this thing can't be taken too much at one time, otherwise it will be easy to overdraw. '

After this idea emerged, He Jiu circulated the two purple and green qi in the tree core, forcibly stopping this change.

Now He Jiu is very comfortable in controlling his body.

Almost at the same time that He Jiu's tree core moved, the branches on the stump stopped growing, and those plant growth agents were also excreted by He Jiu.

After a while, He Jiu felt very relieved when he saw the stumps turning green again.

'I can perform photosynthesis again! '

After He Jiu opened all the pores on the leaves and took a big breath of fresh air, he immediately felt more comfortable.

Beside the root, He Tianliang looked at He Jiu who was swaying the branches happily, and couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

After he stretched out his paw and patted He Jiu's thick tree trunk, he also sat cross-legged, and began to sense the vitality around him.

After a while, the surrounding became quiet.

The vitality between heaven and earth formed a vortex around He Jiu's huge tree, but He Jiu also started to practice.

The crazy growth just now almost overdraws He Jiu's savings for more than a day, so he will naturally replenish it.

While practicing, He Jiu deliberately opened a small hole in the vitality vortex.

The vitality overflowing from this opening was conveyed by He Jiudao to He Tianliang's side.

He Tianliang, who was practicing, felt the changes in the vitality around him, but he didn't open his eyes.

He flicked his tail and continued to practice.
