C7 [finding the Opportunity to Meet the Tree of God]
Ji Qing was overjoyed when he suddenly heard a soft sigh.
He turned his head to look at the Queen Mother with a puzzled expression.
He saw the Queen Mother turn her head to look at a certain place at the waist of the mountain. Her beautiful eyes were filled with regret.
Ji Qing looked over and his body stiffened. He stared at that place with wide eyes and was so shocked that he forgot to breathe.
It was actually the Immortality Peach Tree!
In the legends, the Immortality Peach Tree existed in the Heavenly Court and was the item of the Queen Mother. There were 1,200 of them in total, and their effects were different. However, they were all holy items and were hard to find in the world.
Especially the last 1,200, they were rare treasures.
Every time the Immortality Peach Festival was held, the immortals would gather together and it would be extremely lively.
However, the Queen Mother was the first to discover the Immortality Peach Tree.
Ji Qing took a few deep breaths before he suppressed his wild beating heart. He turned his head and tried his best to speak calmly to the Queen Mother, "Is the Queen Mother here for this item?"
The Queen Mother tilted her head and looked at Ji Qing. She smiled and said, "Yes."
"It's a pity that I was careless and lost the initiative. I'm afraid it's impossible for me to go and take it now." After saying that, the Queen Mother's beautiful eyes darkened.
Ji Qing looked at the Queen Mother and then at the Immortality Peach.
He was about to speak when he heard the Queen Mother say, "However, you and I are fated to meet here. Since I can't take this item, why don't I give it to you?"
Ji Qing was shocked.
He looked at the Queen Mother with a face full of disbelief.
This kind of treasure was given to her without any hesitation. Moreover, from her appearance, it didn't seem like she was joking. Such boldness was something that no ordinary person could achieve!
The Queen Mother was calm.
"This kind of Innate Treasure not only has its own spirituality, but also has its own destiny."
"If you hadn't arrived in time just now, I wouldn't even know if I could keep my life. Now that I think about it, I don't have the strength to fight anymore. And since you are able to appear here, you must be fated to have this treasure."
"If that's the case, why don't you give it to me?"
Ji Qing looked at the Queen Mother.
The spiritual energy fluctuation on the Queen Mother's body was weak, and it was indeed like she had exhausted her spiritual energy.
However, this thing...
He had a feeling that this thing was not his destiny.
Although there was some karma, it was not what he wanted.
"Queen Mother, if I can help you?" Ji Qing turned his head and looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was startled, but then she laughed.
"You must be joking. The Mount Buzhou is filled with chaotic energy, and all of us cultivators are using the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth. It is impossible for us to refine the chaotic energy, so it's impossible for us to recover our spiritual energy. How can you help me? Why don't you save some strength and take this thing?" The Queen Mother only felt that Ji Qing was joking, so she urged Ji Qing to hurry up and do it.
When Ji Qing heard this, he did not move.
He looked at the Queen Mother and circulated his spiritual energy into his palm.
He had the protection of the Heavenly Dao, so he naturally did not lack spiritual energy. At this moment, his spiritual energy was still sufficient.
A large ball of spiritual energy was controlled by Ji Qing, and it was spinning slowly in his palm.
The Queen Mother looked at Ji Qing in shock.
Although the spiritual energy emitted from the ball was heterogeneous, it was extremely large.
However...
"Didn't you already use up a lot of your spiritual energy when you saved me just now? How can there still be so much left?" The Queen Mother looked at Ji Qing in shock. Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment. "You can recover your spiritual energy on Mount Buzhou?!"
Ji Qing was stunned as he faced the Queen Mother's shocked gaze. His mind spun quickly, and he immediately said, "Queen Mother, this is a secret technique of the human race. It's not convenient to spread it outside. Please forgive me."
"A secret technique of the human race?"
Ji Qing's eyes were filled with even more doubt.
Ji Qing thought that the Queen Mother wanted to ask him everything. Just as he was thinking of what words he could use to muddle her, the Queen Mother suddenly asked in doubt, "Are you a human?"
He carefully sized Ji Qing up and nodded.
"You're indeed a human."
"A thousand years ago, the human race was still very weak. Only the ancestor of the human race had some ability to actually retreat with the human race." When Ji Qing was mentioned, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with praise. "It's just that I don't know how it is now."
Hearing that, Ji Qing's impression of the Queen Mother became even better.
He bowed towards the Queen Mother and said, "I am Ji Qing, the human race's ancestor. Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Everything is fine now."
"You are Ji Qing?!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but exclaim. This trip to Mount Buzhou was truly a pleasant surprise.
Ji Qing nodded, "Yes."
"I see. I was wondering why you were able to come here with your strength of a Primordial Immortal. Now that I look at it, it makes sense. After all, the destiny of the Heavenly Dao is not just for show." The Queen Mother winked at Ji Qing mysteriously.
Without waiting for Ji Qing to ask again, the Queen Mother said, "Since you have such spiritual energy and are willing to help me, I won't be polite." Everyone wanted an Innate Treasure. Now that someone was willing to give it to her, she didn't plan to be polite.
Ji Qing nodded and said, "Queen Mother, get ready. I will immediately transfer the spiritual energy over."
The Queen Mother nodded.
Ji Qing placed his hand on the Queen Mother's back. A huge amount of spiritual energy quickly surged out and flowed into the Queen Mother's Purple Palace through Ji Qing's arm.
After receiving the spiritual energy, the Queen Mother's aura suddenly changed.
When it was almost time, Ji Qing withdrew his hand.
The hair and clothes on the Queen Mother's body started to move without any wind. Her body floated up steadily in midair.
She quickly formed hand seals with both hands. The dazzling light became faster and faster as the handprints were formed. When the last handprint was completed, the light quickly flew towards the Immortality Peach Tree.
"Break!"
With a delicate cry, the coiling peach tree that was protected by the chaotic Qi suddenly shook.
Seeing that the seal she had struck out was about to be scattered, the Queen Mother's beautiful eyes narrowed. With a murderous look in her eyes, she let out a cold snort and formed another spell, striking it again.
The coiling peach tree seemed to have been pressed down on the pause button, and it instantly stopped moving.
The Queen Mother's hands did not stop moving as she quickly formed seals and struck them layer by layer.
The coiling peach tree that was a few people tall shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, it turned into a ray of light and flew towards the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and grabbed it.
When it landed, the Queen Mother let out a long sigh of relief. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
She opened her hands and Ji Qing saw a tender green sapling lying quietly in her palm.
"Fellow Taoist Ji Qing, look, this is the coiling peach tree."
Ji Qing looked at it and congratulated, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for obtaining such a treasure."
"It's all thanks to you, Fellow Taoist. Otherwise, how could I have obtained it?" The Queen Mother smiled and said. Suddenly, she turned her face and said, "This thing also has a fate with you. If you need it in the future, just send someone over. If this tree bears fruit in the future, it will naturally not be a loss to the Human Race."
