"But there's one thing I don't know. What sect is Fellow Daoist from?”Zhenyuanzi finally asked about Li Xiao's identity.
"Oh, I'm a disciple of Jie School and a disciple of Sect Master Tongtian.”Li Xiao replied.
Regarding his identity, he only wanted to hide his identity as the young sect master of Jie School from outsiders. He would not hide his identity as a disciple of Jie School.
"So you're a fellow Daoist from Jie School. How's Cult Master now?”
"Teacher is fine and is still in seclusion in Azure Heaven.”
Zhenyuanzi nodded thoughtfully and muttered in his heart,""Jie School…"
Ever since the decline of Jie School, he had not heard of any major movements in Jie School, nor had he heard that Sect Master Tongtian had taken in a new disciple. He did not expect that Jie School had such a strange person.
On second thought, Sect Master Tongtian was now keeping a low profile, and no one would notice anything. It was not strange for a Saint to take in one or two disciples.
Zhenyuanzi was just curious. He didn't care which sect Li Xiao came from.
After all, heroes didn't matter where they came from. As long as they had the strength, nothing else mattered.
Besides, Zhenyuanzi was still excited. Even the God of the Ginseng Fruit Tree couldn't recover, but Li Xiao's Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root had given him vitality. He had to make friends with Li Xiao no matter what!
"It's fate that we met. How about this, I will hold a Ginseng Fruit Banquet in Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. Please take your disciples there. Then, we can become sworn brothers. It's rare for Wuzhuang Taoist Temple to have guests. It's been deserted for a long time. This time, let's have a good time while we're sworn brothers!“
Li Xiao wondered if Zhen Yuan Zi was drunk and started to talk nonsense. But he didn't care whether Zhen Yuan Zi was spouting nonsense on a whim or not. He was invited to Wuzhuang Taoist Temple to eat ginseng and fruits. There was no reason not to go.
"That's great. Thank you for your invitation, Fellow Daoist. However, that ginseng fruit is a fruit of spiritual roots and is extremely precious. I'm just a cultivator, so how could I dare to enjoy such a spiritual fruit?”Li Xiao pretended to be polite.
When Zhenyuanzi heard that Li Xiao was unwilling to go, he thought that Li Xiao looked down on him, so he pretended to be angry and said,""Sigh, we're all brothers. There's no need to be polite. If you don't go, you'll be looking down on me, Zhen Yuan Zi!”
"Since Great Immortal Zhen Yuan is so enthusiastic, then I'll accept your offer…"
Seeing that Li Xiao had agreed, Zhen Yuan Zi immediately laughed heartily,""Hahaha…We're all on the same side, so there's no need to be so formal. Fellow Daoist, you're too polite. There's no time to lose, so it's better to do it sooner than later.”
Li Xiao guessed that Zhenyuanzi was definitely drunk, but he didn't show it on the surface. He asked Bai Suzhen to inform the disciples to go to the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain while he followed Zhenyuanzi there.
When Bai Suzhen heard that Zhenyuanzi was going to hold a banquet in the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple and invite them to eat ginseng fruits, she was shocked. She didn't know why Zhenyuanzi was so generous!
When the others heard that there was going to be a Ginseng Fruit Banquet, they were all dumbfounded. However, to them, wanting to eat a spiritual fruit like the Ginseng Fruit was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
After the shock, everyone admired Li Xiao's ability. With just a few words, he had become Zhen Yuan Zi's sworn brother. If he hadn't followed Li Xiao back then, there wouldn't have been so many good things.
Zhao Xiaogu was overjoyed. He quickly found Jade-faced Fox and said proudly,"" Sister, what did I say? If Master and Zhenyuanzi become sworn brothers, we will have Ginseng Fruits to eat. Look..."
Jade-faced Fox covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She quickly followed Zhao Xiaogu out.
Zhenyuanzi and Li Xiao left first, followed by the other disciples. Zhenyuanzi was still talking to Li Xiao even though they were walking on the road. It was unknown whether he was excited because of the Ginseng Fruit Tree or because he was drunk.
"My Ginseng Fruit Tree is really amazing. It only bears 30 fruits in 10,000 years!”Zhenyuanzi stretched out three fingers as if he was showing off to Li Xiao.
"Ten thousand years of fruit. Impressive, impressive.”Li Xiao said.
" My Ginseng Fruit Tree only blooms once every 3,000 years!"”
"Sure!"
Zhenyuanzi said," My Ginseng Fruit Tree only bears fruit once every three thousand years!”
Li Xiao was speechless.
Longevity Mountain was not far from Xiaoyao Mountain. Li Xiao and Zhenyuanzi could fly, so they arrived at Wuzhuang Taoist Temple in a few steps.
Zhenyuanzi felt that time had passed too quickly, and they hadn't chatted to their heart's content. He still felt that he hadn't had enough, so he said to Li Xiao,""You and I can be said to have met each other when we were drinking. There are still thousands of words in our hearts that we can't say, but it doesn't matter. We'll have a good chat at the Ginseng Fruit Banquet later!”
Li Xiao was speechless.
Zhenyuanzi asked Li Xiao to take a seat, arranged Mingyue to serve him tea, and then took Qingfeng to arrange the banquet. He was beaming with joy and was busy in Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.
Qingfeng and Mingyue found it funny. Zhenyuanzi, who was usually serious and mean, seemed to have changed into a different person today. He was always smiling at everyone. He could even dance with joy when he pulled someone.
Zhenyuanzi was famous for his seriousness. Except for the blooming and ripening of the Ginseng Fruit, Qingfeng Mingyue could hardly see his smile.
They all guessed that Zhenyuanzi was blinded by the harvest of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come with me to take a look at the Ginseng Fruit Tree?”After handing over the task to Qingfeng and Mingyue, Zhenyuanzi wanted to take Li Xiao to visit the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Li Xiao thought that he had nothing else to do anyway, so he walked toward the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
It was another big tree.
However, unlike the Five-Needle Pine, which towered into the clouds, the Ginseng Fruit Tree opened up like a huge umbrella, creating a large shade.
Walking to the bottom of the tree and looking up, he could see many fruits that were green and white, white and red. They were like dolls with delicate facial features and hands and feet, but they could not speak.
Zhenyuanzi walked carefully, afraid of damaging the ginseng fruit. The ginseng fruit fell when it met metal, withered when it met wood, melted when it met water, scorched when it met fire, and sank into the soil. There was no room for any mishaps.
On the way, Zhen Yuan Zi suddenly picked a few ginseng fruits and gave them to Li Xiao, saying that he wanted to thank Li Xiao.
Li Xiao declined a few times and accepted it.
" That's not right. It's said that the Ginseng Fruit takes 3,000 years to bloom, 3,000 years to bear fruit, and 3,000 years to ripen. But why…" Li Xiao suddenly felt that something was wrong after taking the Ginseng Fruit.
He calculated in his heart and found that the Ginseng Fruit Tree did not bear fruit for that long. It seemed that it would mature in three thousand years.
Zhenyuanzi laughed and explained,""If Fellow Daoist had come yesterday, the Ginseng Fruit Tree would indeed bloom once every three thousand years, bear fruit once every three thousand years, ripen once every three thousand years, and produce thirty fruits in ten thousand years. However, thanks to Fellow Daoist, the ginseng fruit tree has now blossomed in a thousand years, bore fruit in a thousand years, and ripened in a thousand years. The time taken has been shortened by three times!”
Moreover, there were originally only 30 fruits on the tree. It had taken 10,000 years to wait for them. Because of the appearance of the Five-Needle Pine, there were now 30 more fruits.
There were now sixty fruits on the Ginseng Fruit Tree!
