After thinking it over, Qiao Mu decisively took out all three peaches, temporarily storing the peach for Xiao Lin’er into a yellow storage talisman before putting it away securely.
This talisman was a demonstration talisman gifted by the Golden Talisman Jade Tome. As for the four storage talismans that she drew, she had filled two of them completely with items while the other two were given to her mother to pack the living essentials and tools. It appeared that the most important task on their agenda right now was to hurry to Xijiu City. There must be places that sell blank talisman papers there.
When Qiao Zhongxing returned, he came back to find the little girl crouching next to a tree with a mouthwatering peach in both of her hands, cheerfully nibbling it with juices everywhere.
Qiao Zhongxing could not help but grin. Only now did Qiaoqiao resemble a kid. Normally, she donned on the appearance of a little adult and looked especially solemn, as different from a carefree child as day and night.
“Second Uncle, eat a peach.” Qiao Mu handed a peach to him before returning to her own. It deserved to be called a product of paradise. Not only was it extremely delicious, but the peach meat also melted as soon as it entered the mouth. The peach juice was sweet but not sickly sweet, leaving a rich aftertaste in her mouth.
Qiao Mu wiped her hands and unexpectedly felt a burst of hot energy rushing through her mystic meridians.
The child was startled but promptly sat down in a rush. The flowing stream of hot energy quickly turned into mystic energy and swam a circle through her mystic meridians in fragments, before finally returning to her dantian.
Qiao Mu was carefully watching her dantian and managed to see it clearly this time.
The feeble tree’s roots suddenly revealed a mystic domain the size of an olive pit. With a flash, it absorbed some of the fragmented but rich mystic energy into it. However! At least two-thirds of the mystic energy was absorbed by the roots of the sapling.
It turned out her mystic domain did not disappear. It merely got absorbed into the roots of the sapling! Qiao Mu wished for nothing more than to jump up and howl.
As she thought, this tree was peculiar and abnormal! It really was absorbing her mystic energy! Her mystic energy!!!
She had accumulated a wee bit of mystic energy just now, and it uneasily circulated through her mystic meridians once, but it ended up being devoured by that sapling with a life of its own! Why! Why can it eat meat while she is left with nothing but the soup! Qiao Mu was unimaginably depressed.
Thankfully, due to the flood of hot energy just now, her mystic meridians appeared to be a tiny, tiny bit thicker than previously.
Level-four mystic cultivator!
Qiao Mu’s eyes brightened slightly. She leveled up unconsciously! What happened? Could it be related to that peach? Although the quantity of mystic energy just now was not a lot, the quality was very rich. Every drop of mystic energy could nearly be comparable to the faint mystic energy stored inside her body.
Could the advancing of her cultivation be closely related to the intensity of the mystic energy being cultivated inside her mystic meridians?
Qiao Mu carefully considered it with her hand supporting her chin. That cheeky sapling appeared to only be interested in the rich mystic energy in the outside world. For example, just now. Another example was when she absorbed the mystic energy of the entire paradise in the mystic realm earlier. She reckoned she did not even get to taste the meaty soup of the energy before it had all entered the sapling’s stomach.
As for the daily cultivation of her mystic meridians, because the mystic energy that she cultivated herself was extremely weak and faint, it probably did not meet that cheeky sapling’s standards, so it was uninterested in stealing it!
After realizing this, Qiao Mu could not help but chuckle ironically. However, there was nothing she could do. It was not like she could win against that tree! So what was the use in crying about it?
When Qiao Mu turned her head, Second Uncle’s eyes shot open, and he jumped up with ecstasy. “Qiaoqiao, Second Uncle discovered that his body cultivation broke through to level three after eating this peach! Second Uncle had been stuck at this level for a very long time. Second Uncle didn’t expect… didn’t expect…”
Second Uncle was so excited that he could not finish speaking.
