Chapter 52
: Metamorphosis of the Destiny Seed (Please continue reading)
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya's excited voice woke Li Changsheng.
He lowered his head and looked at Ya Ya, who was grinning with her little white teeth and staring at the flowers and the others with excited eyes. He hesitated for a moment but did not stop her from speaking.
But in order to avoid disturbing the flowers.
He carried Ya Ya back to the "Soul-Capturing Wood" and decided that he would give Ya Ya to Uncle Liu at noon.
Cute as it is.
But it won't do to delay his cultivation of life seeds.
Thinking to himself, Li Changsheng continued clapping and keeping time.
The little boy looked up at him, then raised his little hand and mimicked his rhythm, clapping along with him in a seemingly respectable manner. When he heard something funny, he grinned, revealing a set of tiny white teeth.
"ah…"
The sound is so faint that mosquitoes and flies can't hear it at all if you're not paying attention.
Li Changsheng's mind wasn't on her, so he didn't pay attention.
The little boy looked up at him, grinned, and then turned his crimson eyes to look at Hua'er and the others. He clapped his hands even more enthusiastically, his eyes full of joy and excitement.
The "ya ya" sound was kept at a level that only he could hear.
And at this time.
Where the "Soul-Capturing Tree" takes root, the fertile black soil seems to have been drained in an instant, turning a grayish-white color, while golden specks, barely visible to the naked eye, appear on its branches.
After several songs.
"Alright, alright, let's take a break."
Li Changsheng hurriedly told the little ones, whose foreheads were covered in sweat, to rest, and picked up the jade jar containing "spiritual spring water" and handed it to Hua'er.
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Several days later, with her parents' constant reminders, Hua'er and the others realized that the water Uncle Li gave them was good stuff, and happily thanked him.
Each person took a few small sips.
He felt a sense of comfort as the cool air spread throughout his body.
Li Changsheng took the jade jar from Hua'er, then, remembering the little one in his arms, held the jar to her lips and smiled:
"Here, Ya Ya, have some water too."
But to his surprise...
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya turned her head away and pushed the jade jar away, her little face showing an unwilling expression as if she was about to drink some medicine.
"Huh..."
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at the little guy who kept snuggling into his arms and clearly did not want to drink the "spiritual spring water". He picked up the jade jar in confusion and took a sip. It was sweet and delicious and full of spiritual energy. It was not bad to drink.
"And there are those who don't want to drink the 'spiritual spring water'..."
He chuckled and shook his head. Fine, if he doesn't want to drink, he doesn't want to. He put the jade jar aside and turned to look at the "Soul-Capturing Wood".
When he saw the new buds sprouting on the branches of the "Soul-Capturing Tree", his smile deepened.
"Today, the 'Soul-Capturing Wood' should be entering its growth stage..."
"I wonder how the power of the 'Wood Insect Puppet' compares to Senior Sister Ning Cheng's 'Golden Rain Technique'..."
Recalling the power of the "Golden Rain Technique," Li Changsheng felt an even greater anticipation for cultivating the "Wood Insect Puppet."
I was just about to look away.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden light flashing across the branches of the "Soul-Capturing Tree".
"Um?"
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something. His expression changed instantly. He put Ya Ya in his arms aside and hurriedly stepped forward to examine the golden light.
Immediately, a dozen tiny, almost invisible golden spots were discovered on the branches of the "Soul-Capturing Wood".
"What is this? Insects? Disease?... "
The thought flashed through his mind, and his expression became somewhat solemn. He raised his hand and lightly touched the branch of the "Soul-Capturing Wood," staring intently at it.

[Derived Spiritual Resources: None]
[Status: In Transition]
When you see the "Soul-Capturing Wood" seed as invisible and the "Transforming" status in the status bar.
Li Changsheng was immediately dumbfounded.
No.
He didn't do anything.
Why does a perfectly good life suddenly need to "transform"?
The key question is, what is being transformed? ...
He had only heard that some spirit beasts awakened their bloodline by chance, and that their bloodline would undergo a transformation, but he had never heard that the "seed of life" could also undergo a transformation.
"Could it be because I used nursery rhymes from my past life to cultivate the 'Soul-Capturing Wood'?..."
Li Changsheng's mind suddenly stirred. He frowned and thought for a moment, his gaze fixed on the "Status" column.
A piece of information popped into my mind.
[Transformation level: 1%, estimated time: 100 years.]
"century?"
Li Changsheng's face immediately darkened.
a hundred years.
By the time it completes its transformation, the cucumbers are already cold.
"Oh, right, nursery rhymes..."
As if remembering something, Li Changsheng quickly turned around and waved to the little ones who were either playing with a stick to hoe the ground or chattering away, saying something incomprehensible:
"Come on, let's sing two more songs..."
"Still singing 'Rowing Our Boats,' you should start it off, Flower Girls..."
"Um."
Hua'er immediately stood up, cleared her throat, opened her mouth slightly, and her clear nursery rhyme rang out again.
Ironwood, Dunzi, Peony, and Stone also hurriedly followed.
A nursery rhyme began to play.
Ya Ya, who was sitting on the ground looking around, immediately turned around, her little face beaming with joy and happiness. She showed off her little white teeth and raised her little hand to clap along.
They even imitated the flowers, shaking their heads and swaying their bodies.
"Oh dear..."
Li Changsheng glanced at her, then turned away, his gaze returning to the "Soul-Capturing Wood".
He soon realized something was wrong.
Not only did the "Soul-Capturing Tree" stop sprouting new buds, but the fertile black soil where its roots were located also turned an eerie grayish-white color.
"This is... hiss..."
Li Changsheng frowned, reached out and pinched a bit of grayish-white soil. When he learned about the situation, he couldn't help but gasp.
In his perception.
The grayish-white soil resembled sand weathered by time; it was not even as good as ordinary soil, let alone spiritual soil.
Then there's the thought that the "Soul-Absorbing Wood" draws on the earth's energy to grow.
The results speak for themselves.
"Did they just drain the spirit soil completely...?"
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng's expression shifted uncertainly.
The "spiritual field" was only entrusted to him for cultivation; it was not his.
It's nothing, just a little bit.
However, if the "spirit field" is drained on a large scale, with the identity of a "spirit plant master", he will definitely not die, but he will probably owe the "sect" a huge sum of money.
"To cultivate or not to cultivate...?"
Li Changsheng's gaze fell on the "Soul-Capturing Wood" status bar. After hesitating for a few moments, he decided to continue cultivating it.
The worst outcome would be owing the sect a sum of spirit stones.
If the "Soul-Capturing Wood" completes its transformation, it might bring him a big surprise.
"If only the Spirit Seed Hall had any records about this..."
Li Changsheng suppressed his distracting thoughts and tried sprinkling some "spiritual spring water" on the grayish-white ground. The effect was barely noticeable.
After several songs.
His gaze was fixed on the "Soul-Capturing Wood" status section.
[Transformation complete: 2% complete; estimated time: 98 years.]
"It would be good if it could be cultivated..."
Seeing this, Li Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, came to his senses, turned around and gestured for Hua'er and the other little ones to stop, and gave them some spiritual spring water to drink to cool them off from the summer heat.
have a break.
The clear, melodious nursery rhyme rang out once more.
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya was completely immersed in the nursery rhyme, swaying her head back and forth.
Li Changsheng calmed down, walked to Ya Ya who was no longer crying or making a fuss, picked her up, patted the dirt off his pants, and looked her up and down.
Seeing that there was no sweat on his forehead and no signs of sunburn, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"They're quite well-behaved..."
"But I'll still send it to Uncle Liu at noon..."
Ya Ya's excited voice woke Li Changsheng.
He lowered his head and looked at Ya Ya, who was grinning with her little white teeth and staring at the flowers and the others with excited eyes. He hesitated for a moment but did not stop her from speaking.
