It was only a duration of a couple of breaths, that little sapling had already grown to the thickness of a thigh, and six zhang tall . Jun Mo Xie smiled and the pale green light on his fingers suddenly vanished, replaced by a layer of deep green glow…
Pop! That Rainbow Holy Tree shot straight into the skies, twenty zhang in height, its trunk also instantly thickening . Its crown began to spread rapidly, like dark clouds that had suddenly gathered in the skies, filling up the entire heavens…
After another couple of breaths, it seemed that the sapling could no longer be called a 'sapling' anymore, because the trunk of this newly grown Rainbow Holy Tree was about four meters in diameter . Countless of nonagon leaves spread out, swaying gently, and the entire tree was emitting a faint rainbow glow…
Yet again, after a while, from amidst the densest part of its leaves and branches, a rich fragrance began to gently spread, small rainbow colored flowers sprouted, seven in a bunch . And there were seven such bunches on the entire tree!
Jun Mo Xie was shocked . "Isn't it only supposed to produce only two bunches every five hundred years? Why are there seven on this tree? Could the genes have mutated?!"
Just as he was pondering over this matter, the Rainbow Holy Tree that had been planted in the Hongjun Pagoda for less than a quarter of an hour began to bear fruit for the first time, under the effects of the dark green light .
The flower petals begin to wither at a visible speed, and the rainbow colored fruits hung on the branches . Forty-nine of them! It was really seven bunches!
In a blink of an eye, the entire Hongjun Pagoda was filled with its fragrance!
Jun Mo Xie only stopped infusing the Power of Wood after this . He didn't want to be kicked out by the Hongjun Pagoda like the previous time…
Carefully observing these Seven Colored Holy Fruit, it was exactly the same as the ones he had eaten before, with absolutely nothing odd about it… The only small difference was that the Seven Colored Holy Fruit that was grown here was two times the size of the ones he had eaten! Looked like the things grown within the Hongjun Pagoda was way better than in the outside world ah…
And one more thing is… Looks like the Lord Holy Tree did not try to play any tricks with me…
It's worth praising ah…
The way you treat me, I'll return it to you two folds! I still have some conscience!
Jun Mo Xie did not know that when Lord Holy Tree was a seed, he was only soaked in its senior's life blood essence for a short while, unlike this seed that had completely had its fill…
These were two different types of treatment!
To a Rainbow Holy Tree, this was the most natural foundations it could have! It could even be said that the Seven Colored Holy Fruit that Jun Mo Xie had in the Hongjun Pagoda was the Seven Colored Holy Fruit in its most perfect state…
Just when Young Master Jun heaved a sigh of relief, there was another change within the Hongjun Pagoda . From the Rainbow Holy Tree, a rainbow shot out, cutting across the vast space and connecting perfectly onto the Exquisite Lotus on the other end…
Then, this arch of rainbow just stayed between them, forming a literal rainbow bridge…
Jun Mo Xie could even vaguely sense that through the transmission between this rainbow bridge: the Exquisite Lotus and Rainbow Holy Tree were growing more quickly, complementing each other's growth…
This is great! This is really great!
Jun Mo Xie excitedly waved his fist, keeping the seven bunches of Seven Colored Holy Fruit on the tree . Then, he even added some enforcement to ensure that these fruits would not fall off before leaving .
Actually, Young Master Jun's acts was unnecessary . The Seven Colored Holy Fruit remaining on its branches had better effects than being harvested . And it would not fall unless it was forcibly plucked off…
"En? What is this?" Young Master Jun was originally feeling extremely pleased after settling the Rainbow Holy Tree, coupled with the matter with the Exquisite Lotus, but upon coming out, he seemed displeased again .
Snake Queen Green Hunter had already been fished out by Lord Holy Tree and was laying flat on the ground, still like sleeping beauty . She showed no signs of waking up . There was no difference from before . Even her breathing and condition did not experience any change . He couldn't help but raise a brow and scowled in displeasement .
"Old Master, Old Master, please calm down… This young lady is already healed, she really is alright already . " Young Master Jun scoffed, practically scaring Holy Tree out of his wits . He quickly explained, "I really have treated her injuries already… If you don't believe it, you can check it thoroughly, I won't dare to lie to you even if I had a hundred guts ah…"
Towards the end, the Lord Holy Tree's tree voice was cracking a little, about to cry again .
Jun Mo Xie turned around to take a look, he couldn't help but feel startled . The pond that was brimming with life blood essence was already half gone… In fact, even more than half, there was only a shallow layer of it left, just barely covering the bottom of the pond… It looked like this spineless tree really put in great effort…
"Since you said you've treated her, why has she not woken up yet?" Jun Mo Xie walked over to Green Hunter, checking her pulse . To his delight, that blood essence of the Holy Tree really had amazing effects . Green Hunter's pulse has already returned to normal, and there were no irregularities in her heart rate . And her breathing had also returned back to the normal state, smooth and steady . She only looked like she was in a deep sleep right now…
"Old Master… This… Young Madam of yours had sustained severe injuries . With that sort of injury, there is no way to salvage the situation, but I believe you used many divine treasures to create an environment that was similar to the 'natal' state, helping her secure the last bit of life that lasted till now . Although she has regained her life force because of my life blood essence, but because she has been asleep for too long, be it her spiritual, mental or physical state, she is in the most primordial state . Waking her suddenly will definitely put an enormous strain on her mind and body, if she is unable to take it, it will definitely cause irreversible damages…"
Lord Holy Tree said indignantly, "So she needs Old Master you to help her recuperate for some time . As long as she wakes up naturally from this deep slumber, all sorts of negative side effects will not exist…"
Lord Holy Tree was really aggrieved . He really was thinking for this sleeping beauty this time . To someone who was in a deep sleep for a few months, no matter how much effort the person taking care of her had put in, no matter what sort of environment they had arranged for her to recuperate in, it could not compare to her feeding herself to her fill!
Furthermore, she was someone who was recovering from such a severe injury, practically on the verge of dying! Feeding her a little bit of soup and water daily was already considered good enough… If she was really woken up suddenly, her five viscera and six bowels or basic bodily functions would not be able to take this strain! This was a process that needed to take place gradually…
Of course, the reason why Lord Holy Tree had made this arrangement was also out of consideration for himself . If this sleeping beauty's body could not take the strain upon being woken up… Then he would not be falling short of turning into ashes…
So Lord Holy Tree really had no other choice .
"Oh . What you said makes sense… I understand it . " Jun Mo Xie naturally understood these logic . But he was confused due to his concern earlier, so it was unavoidable .
Young Master Jun may not be good guy and was definitely twisted and unreasonable most of the time, but he was still reasonable when it was time to be reasonable!
"Much thanks, much thanks… Thank you for your understanding…" Lord Holy Tree's tears were brimming from his eyes . To get the approval from this robber right in front of him was truly too difficult…
"En . You have done very well in handling this matter . I'm very pleased . I will give you what I promised you . But I still have a question that I hope you will answer honestly . This Seven Colored Holy Fruit… Shouldn't only bear as little as two bunches per five hundred years, right?" Jun Mo Xie asked, frowning as he looked at him .
Lord Holy Tree jolted . Then, it begin to perspire like a waterfall… This secret… How did he find out? Is he trying to trick me? Could he?
Then, taking another look at Jun Mo Xie's confident expression, Lord Holy Tree ultimately did not dare to tell any lies . He decided to tell the truth and spill everything . "Yes, Old Master, you are truly sensitive to the finest details… But… Old Master, I have no choice but to do that, I also want to live, ah…"
Live?
Jun Mo Xie looked at Lord Holy Tree, a doubtful look in his eyes . What does the quantity of fruits bore… have to do with you living?
"Old Master… Everyone in the world will go through the four stages of life; this is something that is completely common and usual . In fact, all the living things also fall within these constraints!"
Lord Holy Tree said bitterly . "Take us trees for example . Although we live longer than humans, but we are also restrained by this fate . No matter what sort of spiritual seeds, king of the trees, even if I can live for ten thousand years, or even twenty thousand years, ultimately, there will be a day when I run out of life force, and I'll eventually have to die…"
This was a fact; there were really not many living things that could escape from this fate . Jun Mo Xie nodded in agreement, indicating for him to continue speaking .
"As to the process for trees, I believe Old Master will definitely understand it, so I shall get straight to the point . Hoping to get the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, it'll have to go through bearing flowers before forming fruits, and this is a process that is a huge strain! To us, it is like you humans bearing children… This is something that will hurt our vitality… Every Seven Colored Holy Fruit contains varying amount of life's essence… And they are my savings for five hundred years, one of the basic requirements for bearing the Holy Fruit…
"If all these life's essences are put into the growth of the fruits… then the entire process is the equivalent of using five hundred years of our longevity . Asides from growing a thicker body, and taller, there is essentially no benefit to us!"
Lord Holy Tree sighed a couple of times . "To be honest, us Rainbow Holy Tree, those who are under five thousand years, can bear seven bunches of fruit each time! And trees who are five thousand to ten thousand in age will be able to produce fourteen . It will increase by a fold for every five thousand years of age… But if it is maintained at this rate, then our longest lifespan will not exceed thirty thousand years before we completely vanish in this world…"
