My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Buy Zhou Ye For Healing?

The next day, in the early morning.

“Hmm…” Lu Xiaoyuan woke up from her dream and raised her small hands to rub her eyes.

Zhou Ye was always cultivating beside her. When she stood up, one of her feet accidentally stepped on Zhou Ye’s roots.

“Hello, are you blind?”

Zhou Ye woke up in shock and started shouting in his heart helplessly.

He patted Lu Xiaoyuan’s shoes with his leaves while trying to pull his roots out from below Lu Xiaoyuan’s shoes.

“Huh?”

Lu Xiaoyuan noticed that something was knocking on her shoe so she lowered her head. She felt awkward when she saw the struggling little plant spirit.

She hurriedly moved her feet and picked Zhou Ye up. She observed him carefully.

“It’s good that you’re fine.”

After muttering to herself, Lu Xiaoyuan took a whiff of the scent around Zhou Ye’s body and threw him back on the ground.

Zhou Ye looked down on her impoliteness.

But, he didn’t have a choice in the matter. He was still too weak. He couldn’t educate Lu Xiaoyuan properly.

However, he anticipated the day when he could ‘educate’ Lu Xiaoyuan properly on politeness and respect.

Lu Xiaoyuan walked to Gold Xiao’er’s side and prepared breakfast with Gold Xiao’er.

Zhou Ye noticed that Yaoyao was cultivating.

She was sitting cross-legged on the ground. She created a seal with her small hands and the Qi of heaven and earth kept getting absorbed into the seal. The seal then guided the Qi of heaven and earth into her meridians…

A pink Xuan Qi surrounded Yaoyao. It formed a circle.

It kept spinning. As it spun, it exuded a faint aura.

The aura was weak but Zhou Ye felt that he was facing a literal sea.

Don’t even mention whether he was able to beat it in a fight.

The aura that Yaoyao released unconsciously was enough to press Zhou Ye on the ground and beat him up.

“Strength…” Zhou Ye said silently.

His thirst for strength was growing stronger and stronger.

Suddenly.

Zhou Ye noticed that Yaoyao’s aura had suddenly increased a little.

Immediately after that, Yaoyao ended her cultivation and ran towards Lu Xiaoyuan.

She ran beside Lu Xiaoyuan and said to her happily, “Sister Deer, after one night of cultivation, my cultivation increased again. I feel that I will be able to achieve a breakthrough soon!”

“You can’t be too anxious with your cultivation in the human world.” Lu Xiaoyuan looked at her carefully and shook her head.

“The Qi in the human world is thinner so the speed of cultivation will be slower compared to cultivating in the wood world. The feeling that you have now is just an illusion. In reality, you’re still a long distance away from achieving a breakthrough. If you force yourself to break through, it will cause indelible damage to your foundation.”

“Thus, you should take it step by step. Suppress your cultivation and wait for the time to be right. Then, your breakthrough will come easily,” Lu Xiaoyuan reminded.

“Oh.” Yaoyao was a little disappointed.

At first, she thought that she was going to break through soon. But, in the end, it was just an illusion. She was elated for nothing.

“Sister Deer, why do we have such illusions? This is too confusing!” Yaoyao was unhappy that she got fooled by the illusion.

“That’s very normal. It is because you’re used to cultivating in the wood world so you are used to the cultivation speed there. You’re still not used to the density of Qi here because this is your first time in the human world,” Lu Xiaoyuan explained paitnetly.

“I see.” Yaoyao nodded with confusion.

She didn’t continue asking anymore questions. She only needed to know what the solution was.

…

After breakfast, the three of them continued riding their horses.

Zhou Ye looked at his attributes.

Bloodline: Spirit herb·Superior-grade Spirit.

Bloodline ability: Healing.

Cultivation State: Xuan Sea realm·Intermediate Stage.

Physical State: Spirit level·Intermediate State

Sutra: Little Green Asthenia Sutra·Perfected.

Xuan skill: Thousand Leaves Glide·Perfected; Cloud Tracking·Perfected.

All-purpose Points: 465.

Lucky Draws: None (+)

His all-purpose points were extremely low so he was unable to improve his cultivation. This was a little disheartening.

“The wood world is still better…” Zhou Ye muttered before closing his attributes board. Then, he started cultivating again.

The all-purpose points were growing slowly but it was better than it remaining stagnant.

At noon.

Lu Xiaoyuan and her friends arrive at a forest.

The winding path to the forest caused the end to not be seen.

As they continued on their horses, Gold Xiao’er frowned.

He felt someone closing in on them at a very fast rate.

“Master Deer…” Gold Xiao’er wanted to say something but Lu Xiaoyuan shook her head and interrupted him.

“I know.” Lu Xiaoyuan looked in the direction of the intruder.

“Sister Deer, what happened?” Yaoyao was puzzled.

“People are coming towards us. The stench of blood on them is very pungent,” Lu Xiaoyuan explained.

Then, her thought started surging out like the waves of the sea. They flowed out towards the horizon.

“It’s Qin Yi.” Gold Xiao’er felt them too.

“Why are they hurt so badly?” Lu Xiaoyuan found it strange but she didn’t investigate further.

The three of them stopped and waited there on their horses.

Within 15 minutes, sounds of footsteps could be heard on their right.

Elder Lu held Qin Yi as he ran towards the winding road. When he saw three people riding on horses, he immediately turned vigilant.

“Slash!”

He drew out his long knife. There were traces of blood on the shiny long knife.

“You… it’s you.” Elder Lu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xiaoyuan and the others’ faces clearly. However, the vigilance in his eyes was still present.

Although they met twice, Elder Lu didn’t trust Lu Xiaoyuan and her friends that much.

Anyone would feel the same way.

Lu Xiaoyuan looked at Qin Yi. She asked him curiously, “What happened? Why are you so badly injured?”

Zhou Ye looked at Qin Yi too.

“Oh my god, what did you do to incur such ire? Why did he slash you so many times?”

Qin Yi’s face was pale and he was already unconscious. The brocade gown that he was wearing had turned dark red because of his blood. There was an obvious stench of blood on his body and the top part of his clothes were tattered. They were cut by sharp blades.

Elder Lu wasn’t in a good state either, as his body was filled with wounds too.

The only good thing out of the situation was that both of them had stopped bleeding.

Elder Lu panted and looked at Lu Xiaoyuan. “It is a long story.”

“Summarize it then.” Lu Xiaoyuan looked at him.

Elder Lu’s expression changed a few times. Then, he said, “There are still people chasing us. Is it alright if you provide us one of your horses?”

“We only met twice but you are hurt and people are chasing you. If we give you one of our horses, it might bring us trouble, no?” Gold Xiao’er frowned.

Although they were able to tackle anyone with their ability, no one really liked attracting trouble.

Elder Lu took a deep breath and pleaded, “My young master’s life is in danger. Please give us one horse. We will pay!”

“As for trouble, just say that you never saw us!”

As he spoke, Elder Lu grabbed a handful of shining gold coins from his clothes.

Zhou Ye just wanted to say that he was very rich.

The gold light almost blinded him.

Elder Lu was looking at Lu Xiaoyuan pitifully.

“Alright.” Lu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and finally nodded.

She jumped off her horse and walked in front of Elder Lu. She took the gold coins and said, “Hurry up and leave.”

“Thank you. If we have a chance to meet again, I will thank you properly.” Elder Lu held onto Qin Yi and bowed to Lu Xiaoyuan.

But, the moment he bent his back, he saw Zhou Ye.

With his cultivation state and by being at such a close distance, he was able to sense Zhou Ye’s cultivation state and his status.

He realized that this spirit herb was able to heal wounds!

Elder Lu turned and looked at Qin Yi abruptly.

At this moment, Qin Yi was already in a bad situation.

“Young miss, can you sell your spirit herb to us. My young master isn’t able to hold on much longer. We are willing to give you ten times the original price!” Elder Lu pointed at Zhou Ye who was tied at Lu Xiaoyuan’s waist as he asked.

Zhou Ye was stunned.

You old fellow.

Are you still dreaming?

Boss Deer sold her horse to you because she took pity on you.

Now, you are asking for more and want to buy me. Isn’t that a little overboard?

Zhou Ye was shooting fire with his eyes. He was furious.

Lu Xiaoyuan was stunned when she heard this.

What was this person saying?

She wasn’t the only person that got a shock. Gold Xiao’er and Yaoyao were dumbfounded too.

He wants to buy the little plant spirit to treat his wounds?

Is that even possible?
