#1916 - The fish is hooked!
Feeling the feedback from the Pan桃 fruit tree, the Wood Spirit Saintess revealed a happy expression.
“If I can always have this Pan桃 fruit tree, my cultivation speed will increase two to three times.”
Don't underestimate this two to three times increase. After cultivators break away from the limitations of lifespan, breaking through a major realm takes millions of years.
As cultivation increases, for a cultivation realm like the Wood Spirit Saintess, it already takes tens of millions of years.
Calculating with ten million years, increasing it by two times means it would take about five million years to break through a major realm.
If it's three times, it would only take three million years...
If the timeline is stretched out longer, to fifty million or eighty million years, the amount of arduous effort saved in between is considerable.
It's equivalent to other beings possibly only breaking through one major realm in the same amount of time, while the Wood Spirit Saintess can break through two to three major realms.
In this cultivator world that adheres to the law of the jungle, strength is the capital to speak with.
Without sufficient strength, even if one possesses rare and precious treasures, they cannot be protected.
The excitement in the Wood Spirit Saintess's heart was quickly extinguished.
In a few decades, she would be going with Qin Yi to rescue Qing Qian.
At that time, she would have to return to the Wood Spirit race's territory in the Fifth Star Ring.
When Lan Wenhao handed the Pan桃 fruit tree to her, his words were rather vague.
It seemed that if she was in the Little Primordial Star Domain, this Pan桃 fruit tree could be entrusted to her care.
If she left the Little Primordial Star Domain, the Pan桃 fruit tree would have to be left behind, and even newly cultivated branches could not be taken away.
Regarding this point, the Wood Spirit Saintess did not try to play any clever tricks.
Everyone is not a fool; playing such clever tricks is meaningless.
Most importantly, she was very sure that she would not be able to escape the other party's inspection.
Once discovered that she had secretly carried a newly cultivated Pan桃 fruit tree branch, everyone would lose face.
“It's really vexing!”
At this moment, for the sake of the Pan桃 fruit tree, some of her inner concepts were quietly changing...
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Lan Wenhao arrived again.
Looking at the Pan桃 fruit tree being cared for by the Wood Spirit Saintess, he couldn't help but nod.
Specialization in a skill yields expertise; as expected of a professional spirit plant talent.
The Pan桃 fruit tree was already completely different from when he had just brought it over.
This difference didn't require careful observation at all; it could be distinguished with the naked eye.
“It seems that the Wood Spirit race's effect on spirit plant cultivation is indeed significant!”
Many things cannot be heard and believed; they still need to be verified by oneself.
Qing Qian telling Qin Yi about the various unique aspects of the Wood Spirit race doesn't mean he completely believes it.
Rather, based on what Qing Qian said, he would have Lan Wenhao and others constantly verify it later.
To see what the difference is between what is heard and what is seen...
This is different from buying things; if you don't like what you bought, you can return it.
But investing in the Wood Spirit race, if it is discovered that their actual effectiveness differs greatly from the advertised effect, it is impossible to return the goods.
In other words, if the value that the Wood Spirit race can demonstrate is not enough to reach the bottom line that would move Qin Yi.
He would not expend so much effort, like subduing the Potter race, to subdue the Wood Spirit race.
This is reality and also a choice!
Qin Yi's family has a large business, but he cannot waste his energy on places where the returns are not great.
Time is precious. Nowadays, the myriad realms era is full of chaotic battles. Prioritizing the selection of those who are useful to oneself is the right principle.
After Lan Wenhao chatted with the Wood Spirit Saintess for a few words, both sides cut to the chase.
The Wood Spirit Saintess said: “When does the Blue Emperor plan to take back this Pan桃 fruit tree?”
In the past month, she had been considering this question.
Previously, Lan Wenhao said to let her take care of it, but he didn't say the specific time. He just roughly meant that as long as she was in the Little Primordial Star Domain, it seemed that she would always be in charge of cultivating it.
After she left, this Pan桃 fruit tree would have to be returned to its original owner.
The Wood Spirit Saintess's inner thoughts have now changed somewhat.
She has to know the exact time from Lan Wenhao's mouth before she can arrange her subsequent plans.
How clever is Lan Wenhao? From the moment the Wood Spirit Saintess said these words, he understood what the other party was thinking.
“The fish is about to take the bait.”
If you want to subdue a person or a certain race, when the other party refuses, the reason is often that the value of the things you provide does not reach what the other party wants in their heart.
Obviously, now the Pan桃 fruit tree has a strong attraction for the Wood Spirit Saintess, so strong that she has unconsciously begun to weigh some things in her heart.
On this point, Lan Wenhao did not continue to give ambiguous answers.
There are many ways to fish. For the current Wood Spirit Saintess, she needs stability more.
An uncertain stability!
It sounds contradictory, but in reality, it is not contradictory at all.
“As long as you don't leave the Little Primordial Star Domain, this Pan桃 fruit tree will always be cultivated by you.”
“The subsequent benefits will be the same as what we said before. You and I will each have half of the Pan桃 fruits that are produced.”
“You can completely decide how to cultivate and develop the Pan桃 fruit tree, but when you leave, you have to return it to me.”
Lan Wenhao has handed over all the rights belonging to the owner of the item to the Wood Spirit Saintess, except for the ownership of the item. This is stability.
That uncertainty is naturally the last sentence, the consequences of the Wood Spirit Saintess leaving the Little Primordial Star Domain.
The whole plan is actually very simple, which is to turn the uncertain into the certain through stability.
As long as the Wood Spirit Saintess still wants to have the Pan桃 fruit tree, she will convince herself to stay.
Hearing Lan Wenhao's words, the expression on the Wood Spirit Saintess's face changed back and forth, and finally she said: “I understand.”
The fish has already taken the bait, and the subsequent development can be waited for quietly.
Lan Wenhao did not stay too long and left.
Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In these twenty years, under the careful cultivation of the Wood Spirit Saintess, the efficiency of the Pan桃 fruit tree has greatly increased, and the first batch of Pan桃 fruits has already been produced.
At the same time, three branches have also been cultivated...
These three branches are growing vigorously.
Lan Wenhao, Ying Zhi, and Su He were tasting the Pan桃 fruits that the Wood Spirit Saintess had just sent over, while revealing knowing smiles on their faces.
Ying Zhi said: “In these twenty years, the Wood Spirit Saintess has not mentioned leaving a single word, nor has she asked when Qin Brother will leave seclusion. It seems that she is not in a hurry at all.”
Su He said: “We three have carefully set up such a trap for her to drill into. How could we let her run away again? With the Pan桃 fruit tree, she won't leave.”
Speaking of this, Su He suddenly smiled evilly: “The Pan桃 fruit tree is an extinct spirit plant in the heavens and stars, but there are many, many in the Little Thousand Worlds...”
“I wonder what this Wood Spirit Saintess will think when she learns the truth in the future!”
Lan Wenhao said: “This matter is a willing buyer and a willing seller. Even if she discovers the truth afterward, she won't express anything.”
