Such fantasies were fine to entertain, but turning them into reality was better left undone.
"Ah, I was indeed shortsighted just now; such high-profile acts are indeed unnecessary to pursue deliberately!"
Zhou Mingde snapped back to reality, nodding in embarrassment as he openly admitted his oversight.
After discussing a few more matters, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi left first.
As Zhou Chun could not show himself, whether it was gathering auxiliary materials for concocting the "Origin Increase Pill" for Zhou Chun or other auxiliary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, all these tasks required Zhou Daoyi to mobilize the resources of the Zhou Family to collect.
However, Zhou Chun wasn't idle either.
After bidding farewell to the two elders, he took out the roots of the "Myriad Year Purple Mulberry Wood" and released the Wood Charm.
"Lu'er, are you confident you can sprout new buds on this root and grow new branches?"
In the clearing outside the cave dwelling, Zhou Chun handed over the roots to the Green Spirit Deer and sought its advice.
In fact, if the roots of the "Myriad Year Purple Mulberry Wood" could be rejuvenated, it would be very beneficial to the Wood Charm as well.
In the future, it could change its residence to this spiritual root, and perhaps even cultivate a forest of Purple Mulberry Wood for its cultivation.
Facing Zhou Chun's question, the Wood Charm, after observing the roots for a while, gently nodded, conveying a response that it was worth a try.
In terms of tree-planting skills, the Wood Charm was undoubtedly far superior to Human Cultivators.
If not for the fear of it revealing its true identity by demonstrating too miraculous an ability, Zhou Chun would have handed over the Medicine Garden to it long ago.
Hearing that it was willing to try, Zhou Chun didn't hesitate and immediately found a spot outside the cave dwelling to bury the roots.
Once the roots were buried, the Green Spirit Deer immediately displayed its Divine Skills, extracting a large amount of plant Spiritual Energy from the surrounding flora to condense droplets of green Spirit Rain to water the roots.
And the roots were indeed miraculous, welcoming the Spirit Rain without rejection, absorbing it as eagerly as a thirsty traveler in the desert welcomes rain.
As this Spirit Rain was absorbed, the rich vitality originally contained in the roots seemed catalyzed and became extraordinarily active.
Very soon, under Zhou Chun's Divine Sense observation, a tiny purple-green sporangium sprouted from the roots, slowly growing outwards, breaking through the soil, and gradually a small tree sapling about three inches tall appeared above the ground.
Watching the sapling break through the soil, Zhou Chun felt a sense of relief wash over him, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
The clear and lingering sounds of the deer's call echoed through the valley; the Green Spirit Deer too was rejoicing for the new sprouting sapling.
"Good Lu'er, I'll leave its care to you for now."
Zhou Chun smiled and patted the deer's antlers, decisively entrusting the task of nurturing the Purple Mulberry sapling to it.
Professional matters should be left to professionals; that had always been Zhou Chun's philosophy.
And to this arrangement, the Wood Charm was naturally very willing to accept.
If it could nurture the Purple Mulberry sapling to the Fourth Order, the benefits to it would be substantial, and perhaps it would even find the opportunity for its own advancement to the Fourth Order right there.
After leaving the tree-caring task to the Wood Charm, Zhou Chun took the Thunder Flood Dragon, Baibai, to the Wasteland Territory.
He wanted to check on that nest of "Skyfrost Cold Bees," and by the way, release a few from the Spirit Beast Pouch to recuperate and replenish the depleted "Skyfrost Cold Qi."
Additionally, Zhou Chun planned on visiting the various water bodies in the Wasteland Territory, to see if he could find a few more Third Order Demon Beasts with the Flood Dragon Bloodline.
Now with the Thunder Flood Dragon, Baibai, by his side, even a Third Order top-tier Dragon Descendant Demon Beast could not withstand them working together in their same realm.
