“Big brother, Lil Violet was injured, and hasn’t fully healed yet.” The little fellow looked extremely pitiful as it stretched out its arm. There were some wounds from swords and a rotting smell from some of the poison.

Looking at the little fellow, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.

Now that the Violet Vine had lost its rhizome, it had lost its source of vital essence. If this went on, it would really die.

“Don’t worry, big brother won’t let you die!” A look of determination flashed in Xiao Yun’s eyes as he thought of a method.

“Really?” Lil Violet blinked its crystal-like eyes as it gazed at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun didn’t say anything as he connected with his Martial Spirit.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a jade-green light appeared between his eyebrows as a jade-green vine extended out.

The jade-green branch flashed with light and was surrounded by mist, looking like some sort of heavenly plant.

When the jade-green light shone out, the little fellow’s eyes lit up as violet saliva began to flow out of its mouth. “This milk milk smells so good; it’s filed with vital essence of life!”  It wrapped both of its arms around Xiao Yun’s leg as it spoke in its childish voice, “I want to eat, I want to eat!”

This little foodie!

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes, saying, “Don’t be impatient, big brother will take you to a good place.”

After speaking, the jade-green branch stretched out and wrapped itself around the Violet Vine to prevent it from making any sudden actions.

Despite being bound by the branch, the Violet Vine didn’t seem to mind. It used its little mouth to vigorously absorb the jade-green vital essence. This was an incredibly dense vital essence of life, which caused its aura to continuously rise; it was like a child that was growing up and becoming stronger.

A jade-green light flashed as the Violet Vine’s soul was brought by the Martial Spirit into Xiao Yun’s sea of consciousness.

It was originally a soul-being, so it could be taken within a person’s sea of consciousness.

Within Xiao Yun’s sea of consciousness, the Violet Vine was still continuously absorbing the jade-green vital essence. Its arms were tightly wrapped around the branch, as if it was a baby clutching a milk bottle. Its violet eyes continuously flashed, and narrowed in bliss and intoxication.

It seemed that the Martial Spirit’s vital essence was greatly beneficial to the Violet Vine’s soul.

Xiao Yun’s mind delved into his sea of consciousness, and marvelled at the Violet Vine.

Under the sustenance from the Martial Spirit’s vital essence, the little fellow’s aura had greatly improved. From the resplendent violet light it was giving off, it seemed that it was full of life again.

The Martial Spirit moved, and put the little fellow down.

“Aiya, I’m not full yet.” The little fellow looked incredibly displeased.

It seemed more and more like a person, and its eyes and eyelashes looked just like those of a toddler’s.

“This little fellow only knows to eat,” Xiao Yun thought as he looked at the Violet Vine’s body, still feeling some sympathy.

Although the Violet Vine had recovered quite a bit of its vital essence, the wounds were still there, and some of the poison still remained.

“Maybe these dewdrops might help.” Xiao Yun looked towards the dewdrops on the Martial Spirit’s leaf. He used his mind to control a drop and splashed it on the Violet Vine’s wound, seeing if it could heal the wound.

Suddenly, the sword wounds started to heal at a rate observable by the naked eye.

Even some of the poison started to be slowly neutralised as a result.

“Big brother, you’re so amazing; my wounds have become much better.” Lil Violet blinked as it looked at the Martial Spirit pa.s.sionately. Its saliva started to flow as it hugged the Martial Spirit and started to rapidly absorb vital essence.

“Yummy, so yummy. Big brother, I’m going to live here from now on,” the little fellow said as it smiled.

After healing the Violet Vine’s wounds, Xiao Yun inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

This way, the Violet Vine’s soul would stay with him until he went back to the Violet Cloud County, after which he could hand it over to big sister s.h.i.+ Fei.

Xiao Yun couldn’t help but frown at how greedily the little fellow was eating.

“Wah, the aura of life is even denser over there.” Within Xiao Yun’s sea of consciousness, the Violet Vine’s soul hugged the Martial Spirit as it climbed up, going over to the dewdrops on the 2 leaves. Those dewdrops were the concentrated essence of the Martial Spirit, and had only recently taken form.

“I can’t keep taking care of it like this,” Xiao Yun silently cursed.

Back then, the little fellow had changed its att.i.tude towards him because it was attracted to the vital essence he could provide.

Now, it was not holding back at all.

It seemed that this childlike little fellow was quite intelligent.

Bang!

Before Xiao Yun acted, one of the Martial Spirit’s branches lashed out, whipping the little fellow down to the ground.

The little fellow rolled back up as it pointed at the Martial Spirit and cried out to Xiao Yun, “Aiya, big brother, it’s bullying Lil Violet.”

“You’re too greedy. If you keep acting like this, big brother’s going to throw you out.” Xiao Yun felt that he couldn’t allow this little fellow to eat like this anymore. After all, his Martial Spirit condensed vital essence from absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi!

“Wuu, don’t abandon Lil Violet, big brother. Lil Violet will be good.” This little fellow was extremely human-like, and its violet eyes blinked as it looked up. There was a rippling wave of energy, which was Xiao Yun’s spirit energy.

Although the little fellow said this, saliva continued to flow out of its mouth.

Xiao Yun felt quite exasperated. He didn’t think that he would be clung onto by a little chowhound.

“Big brother, let Lil Violet stay here.” The little fellow seemed to know that Xiao Yun was displeased with it. “I can help you find medicines, and I know that there’s an expert’s inheritance palace in the distance.”

“You know about the expert’s inheritance palace?” Xiao Yun became quite excited.

Lil Violet nodded, and started to tell Xiao Yun about what it knew about this region of the mountain.

After hearing the little fellow’s words, Xiao Yun nodded as his eyebrows relaxed.

The Violet Vine had been living in the Violet Cloud Mountain for a long time, and had long since gained consciousness. It was incredibly familiar with this region, and after listening to it talk, Xiao Yun understood why many of the Violet Cloud Mountain’s powerful demonic beasts had been chased away.

This was because a supreme expert had appeared within the depths of the mountain.

Not only this, the expert was so strong that his or her aura caused the Violet Cloud Mountain’s fog to be dispelled.

If not for this, the Violet Cloud Stream would be an incredibly dangerous area, and most ordinary cultivators would not even think of entering such a place.

The Violet Vine also knew of the precise location of the ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace.

Xiao Yun smiled. “Great, let’s go to that Essence Origin first.”

“Big brother’s not going to throw Lil Violet out anymore, right?” The little fellow blinked, its violet eyes looking incredibly cute; it made one want to pinch its cheeks. It was a pity that the soul wasn’t in a perfect humanoid form, and its face wasn’t very complete.

“Alright, but you need to be good,” Xiao Yun replied.

“Mm.” The little fellow vigorously nodded. Although it wanted to climb up to the leaves and absorb that ‘milk milk’, it controlled itself. Instead, it clung to the Martial Spirit’s stem as it continuously absorbed that vital essence of life, which was enough for it to recover and grow.

Xiao Yun didn’t stop it.

The Martial Spirit was glowing with a resplendent light, and the vital essence it possessed was like a sea. It didn’t lack that bit of vital essence that Lil Violet was absorbing.

As Xiao Yun delved deeper and deeper into the mountain, the Essence Qi became denser and denser.

Xiao Yun found a place that was particularly dense with Essence Qi and started to cultivate there.

Due to the abundance of Essence Qi, the Martial Spirit also stretched out its branch, absorbing some Essence Qi for itself.

After being upgraded, the Martial Spirit seemed to have many more abilities.

In just 5 days, Xiao Yun broke through from the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering into the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, and the Martial Spirit also became thicker and more powerful.

Not only did the 2 leaves on the Martial Spirit double in size, the dewdrops became larger, and sat in the centre of the leaves.

The dewdrops were jade-green in colour, and they looked like beautiful jades.

The Violet Vine’s soul clung to the Martial Spirit, and through its astonis.h.i.+ng rate of absorption of vital essence, it began to change. Its eyelashes originally looked a bit unnatural, but now they looked just like a human’s eyelashes, and its eyelids were also quite cute as well.

That small face seemed like it was coming close to taking shape.

However, the little fellow stared at the dewdrops on the leaves, continuously salivating.

The vital essence of life coming from the dewdrops were simply too alluring. It was only able to resist for fear of Xiao Yun throwing it out.

This day, another dewdrop had appeared on the jade-green leaf, and Lil Violet could no longer resist anymore.

“Big brother, with so much milk milk, you wouldn’t be so stingy towards Lil Violet right?” While Xiao Yun was focusing on cultivating, the little fellow climbed up the Martial Spirit, clumsily wiping its saliva; it wanted to steal that dewdrop.

Pa!

As a result, it was slapped down by a jade-green branch.

“Lil Violet’s been naughty again,” Xiao Yun’s voice sounded out.

“Lil Violet was just a bit hungry,” the little fellow said as it rubbed its stomach, giving a pitiful look.

“Since you led me to this Essence Origin, I’ll let you have one.” Xiao Yun controlled one of the jade-green dewdrops and gave it to the little fellow. Lil Violet’s face became red and embarra.s.sedly said, “Thank you big brother.” Despite this, it still hurriedly accepted the dewdrop.

After consuming the dewdrop, the little fellow’s body began to change. Some of the branches and vines on its body became more orderly, looking more like a person.

Of course, it was still a little tree-person.

As Xiao Yun continued to advance, he reached the head of the Essence Origin.

The Essence Qi there was incredibly dense, and standing in front of it, Xiao Yun felt as if he was going to break through.

Xiao Yun found another cavern and continued to cultivate there.

10 days later, Xiao Yun actually stepped into the complete stage of the Body Tempering realm.

It was a pity that breaking through to the Innate realm was too difficult. At least, he kept feeling that he was missing something.

Regardless, the Martial Spirit and his mastery of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Art both continuously grew.

“Looks like stepping into the Innate realm not only requires an abundance of Essence Qi but also comprehension of the heavens and earth.” After painstakingly cultivating for 10 days, Xiao Yun finally stopped, because he had reached a bottleneck. It seemed that he required comprehension, not just cultivating.

By now, he had been here for nearly 1 month.

Xiao Yun shook his head as he walked out of that cavern.

As he walked out of the cavern, overwhelming waves of energy rushed towards him.

“What monstrous energy waves.” Under the a.s.sault from the energy waves, Xiao Yun’s body involuntarily trembled as he hurriedly retreated.

Ordinary cultivators would be completely helpless facing such energy waves. What shocked Xiao Yun the most was that the source of the energy waves was quite far away. He wondered what sort of expert would be able to give off such an aura.

Xiao Yun started to head towards the source of the energy waves, full of curiosity.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Violet Vine’s soul also detected something.

The Violet Vine’s soul spread out its senses, and as soon as it felt the energy waves, it cried out, “It’s that supreme expert!”

Although this cry sounded quite childlike, the shock and fear contained within it were unmistakeable.
