“Father Niu.” Yi Qing took one step forward and stopped the conversation. For some reason, he did not want to hear Master talk about that man. “Let’s use the tracing spell to find out where the spirit seed is.”

Lonemoon quickly activated his God Power and conjured a seal. In just a moment, a white eam of light appeared. It gathered to form an array on the ground. There were multiple beams of coloured light within the array, which shot out in all directions.

“The core aura here hasn’t dissipated. We should be able to very quickly-”

Before he could finish speaking, the ground began to shake. There was a series of loud cracking sounds as huge cracks began to appear in the ground. All around them, the trees swayed. The crack under their feet widened until it formed a huge drain. They were going to fall through at any moment.

Yi Qing grabbed onto Yi Qing, as both he and Lonemoon mounted their flying swords and flew up into the sky. Vines shot up from the cracks in the ground and began to attack them.

Yi Qing immediately summoned his sword and waved it at the vines. In just one swipe, all the vines around him split into two. The remaining vines were not fast enough to catch the two of them as they shot up into the sky. Yi Qing had not even activated his sword Qi.

“Eh?” Chef paused. The vines were suspiciously weak. They did not even emit a bit of spirit Qi. it was like they were just a part of ordinary plants.

As they flew higher and higher, they turned around to see the island’s plants all come to life. They were all uprooting themselves out of the ground. It was almost like this was a movie and there were real humans inside those trees. As if they had gone crazy, they began to wave at the three people in the sky, shooting vines up toward them.

“What is this?” Lonemoon hesitated. Were these trees all now having a life of their own? But they were nothing but ordinary plants. Even vegetation demons could only take on a spirit form. Their physical bodies could not be moved. And they were not vegetation spirits… Unless they had become immortals and their physical bodies had been destroyed in the lightning tribulation, their spirit bodies could not gather into a physical form.

“Tree demons?” Yi Qing stared blankly at the plants below. On cloesr inspection, it seemed like there was demonic Qi asurrounding their bodies. This proved that they were demons, but they had reall been buried within the soil. Right now, they were even walking toward them with their roots.

Lonemoon stared at the scene in front of him in absolute shock. This island… No, not just this island! He turned and saw that the entire forest of trees had come alive. Now, an entire dense forest was movng and swaying, just like the trees on that island. Among these trees, those that had vines whipped them at the group. Those that did not have vines used their roots to reach for the three of them, as if hoping to pull them down from above.

The quiet forest was now filled with the noise of leaves rustling about. The atmosphere was violent.

“What’s going on?”

“The spirit seed,” Shen Ying suddenly said. “”The spirit seed has the power of light inside of it. Of course it can also create living spirits.” The speed awakened the trees and gave them sentience.

“You mean the spirit seed is here?!” Lonemoon exclaimed in joy. He looked down at the trees that had come alive. But what should they do about them? What’s more, he could not figure out the reason they were acting up now when they had been silent the entire tim.

The few of them flew even higher so that the trees’ vines could not reach them. Slowly, the trees finally halted their attacks. Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. That was when one particular tree on the island rolled its vines up and plucked a fruit from its own head, before throwing the fruit at them.

Lonemoon dodged the fruit as it brushed past his body and fell back down to the water with a loud plop. The trees all around seemed to have realised this new method of attack. One by one, they began to pluck fruits from their heads and throw it at the group of three.

Holy shit!

These trees were really demons now, weren’t they?

“”Two of you, quickly set up an array-” Lonemoon turned instinctively and wanted to instruct the two of them to set up a defensive array.

“Fruits!” Shen Ying’s eyes brightened as she shouted, “Chef! The stocks are coming in! Catch them, catch them!”

“Yes Master, no problem Master!”

The next moment, Chef darted around in the air. He cloned more than 10 more images of himself and caught every fruit that the trees threw up at them. Along the way, he even helped Shen Ying onto Lonemoon’s sword.

Lonemoon: “…” Motherf*cker!

Thus, the master and disciple rejoiced at the harvest, and enjoyed the fruit-catching game they created. Chef did not even miss one of the fruits that the trees threw up. In a few minutes, their storage bag was full.

“Master, the storage bag is full. What should we do?”

“I have more!” Shen Ying quickly handed her own storage bag over before taking Lonemoon’s one as well. “Father Niu, I’ll borrow yours for awhile.”

“Chef, on the right, on the right! That one’s going into the water!”

“Chef, catch a few more of the yellow ones. Those are yummy.”

“Chef, we don’t need to catch the green ones! They’re probably not ripe yet!”

Chef was darting around at top speed by now. “Yes, Master! No problem, Master!” All ten of his images split further until there were more than 50 images in the air. One batch was catching the fruits and the other was inspecting the fruits caught. This was called dealing with the job in an orderly manner.

Thankfully, there was an entire forest of trees. All three storage bags qquickly became filled. Chef set up a little mystic realm from out of nowhere and opened the entrance in mid air. He quickly emptied all of the fruits into the mystic realm. Yi Qing thus formed a transportation line on his own.

Lonemoon: “…” F*cking retards.

All of you are reallly taking this as incoming stocks! Lonemoon really wanted to act like he did not know these two wastrels.

The trees began to visibly slow down. There were fewer and fewer fruits being thrown up into the air. Lonemoon pursed his lips and activated his immortal Qi to form a rope, which he used to capture a small tree the size of a human up into the air.

The small tree panicked. It waves its branches and leaves vigorously, struggling to escape the rope’s grip. Lonemoon’s immortal Qi, however, was way too strong. The tree flew up into the air easily.

All the trees below stopped, as if shocked by what Lonemoon had done. Even those that still had fruits to throw paused.

The two people who were still busy collcting stocks also halted and turned to look at Lonemoon and the tree…

“What are you looking at?!” Lonemoon shot thema death glare. “That’s enough from the both of you! You really want to pluck all the fruits off this little tree!” Did they still remember what they were here for?

The two of tehm exchanged a look and sighed. Then, they reluctantly locked up the small mystic realm and turned to face the little tree head-on.

Lonemoon inspected the tree very closely. It did indeed have a spirit and sentience, but it was obvious that the tree would not be able to talk. Thus, Lonemoon quickly conjured a seal to allow some immortal Qi to enter the tree’s consciousness. Immediately, he felt a surge of rage rise up within him.
