“Can you be honest? If you did it, admit it now.” The man with the big face looked at the white deer unhappily.
It didn’t even have the courage to admit its mistakes. How disappointing.
The white deer’s eyes were filled with innocence.
Why would I admit it? If I admit it, I will be skinned alive.
“Are you forcing me?” the man with the big face opened his mouth and said in a low voice.
It was said in a threatening tone.
What he meant was: I don’t care if you admit it today or not. I will punish you anyway.
The white deer’s expression remained the same.
Everything needed evidence. As long as there was no evidence, he wouldn’t admit it.
“Fine, I will ask the small plant.” The man with the big face glared at the white deer angrily and then turned around to walk out of the yard.
That was it. Something bad was going to happen.
The white deer opened its eyes wide.
It raised its hooves and its head as it followed behind the man with the big face.
Since it decided to put on an act, it should act until the end. In its mind, it was chanting that it wasn’t the one who did this.
The man with the big face came beside Zhou Ye. Zhou Ye was a little stunned.
What were they planning to do?
The man with the big face squatted down and looked at Zhou Ye as he asked, “Little plant, tell me honestly. Was this fellow the one who wrecked the spirit field in the yard?”
The instant Zhou Ye planned to nod, he felt an unfriendly gaze.
The white deer was staring at him threateningly.
I treat you so well so you shouldn’t talk nonsense. You might not be able to handle the consequences.
“Slap.”
The man with the big face slapped the white deer’s head.
“What is with your gaze? Are you trying to threaten the witness?”
The white deer lowered its head. It didn’t dare to look at Zhou Ye anymore.
Zhou Ye was in a dilemma.
If he answered honestly, he was afraid that the white deer would beat him up violently in the future. He might even get eaten ‘accidentally’ by the white deer. If he lied, he was worried that he would offend the man with the big face.
This was a difficult question.
“Little plant, as a plant, you must be honest. Just speak the truth. If the little deer dares to bully you, I will beat it directly.” The man with the big face encouraged Zhou Ye.
He knew that the white deer did everything but he needed evidence.
Without evidence, this matter would be difficult to deal with.
He was such a person.
“Sigh.” Zhou Ye sighed.
To ensure that his relationship with the white deer remained the same, Zhou Ye had no choice but to go against his conscience and lie.
Just as he prepared to wave his body to answer the man with a big face, the man spoke.
“If you tell the truth, I will help you increase your cultivation state,” the man with a big face said this sentence calmly.
Green light shone in Zhou Ye’s eyes.
What? Increase his cultivation state?
Sure, sure.
As for his relationship with the white deer?
He just wanted to say, ‘I’m sorry. There’s no relationship between the two of us.”
“Swoosh.”
He pointed at the white deer with the tip of his leaf.
It did straightforwardly without any hesitation.
The man with the big face was very satisfied.
The white deer’s eyes were wide opened as it glared at Zhou Ye.
It felt its heart hurting.
You little grass, you actually got bought over by a small increase in your cultivation state.
The white deer was distressed. I didn’t expect you to be like this, little grass.
The white deer was extremely unhappy. It looked like it wouldn’t be able to escape its punishment today.
“What else do you want to say?” The man with the big face turned and looked at the white deer calmly.
The white deer lowered its head. It didn’t want to say anything.
No matter how much it denied it, it wouldn’t be able to escape. It wanted to stop acting already. It was quite tiring to put on an act.
“Now, immediately go and return my spirit field to its original state. If there’s one lesser spirit herb, I will plant you in the field.” The man with a big face touched the white deer’s forehead gently.
The white deer looked at him and sighed.
This time, he was in a tragic state.
He had to spit out everything he ate. Most importantly, he would be sustaining many losses.
He walked towards the yard step by step. His back gave off an indescribable feeling.
The man with a big face glanced at the white deer and then lifted his hand.
A wisp of green light circled around his slender finger.
He tapped Zhou Ye with the tip of his fingers, and the green light entered Zhou Ye’s body.
“Refined it. That wisp is enough energy for you to reach the small cultivation state. I want to give you a greater reward, but if I do that, your foundation will be weak. It won’t be good for you.” The man with a big face turned and walked towards the small yard after finishing this sentence.
He needed to watch over the white deer.
Zhou Ye started refining the green light that was in his dantian.
“All-purpose Points +700.”
“Great.”
Looking at the row of small words floating past his eyes, Zhou Ye shouted happily unconsciously.
Bloodline: Bloodline: Spirit herb·Inferior-grade Spirit (+).
Bloodline Ability: Quick recovery.
Cultivation State: Cultivation State: Qi Refinement·Late Stage (+).
Physical State: Tempered Body·Major Perfection (+).
Sutra: Little Green Asthenia Sutra·Perfected.
Xuan skill: Thousand Leaves Glide·Greater Mastery (+); Cloud Tracking·Small Achievement (+).
All-purpose Points: 1190.
Lucky Draws: None (+)
His all-purpose points had surpassed the three-digit mark. It was more than a thousand now.
At this moment, Zhou Ye realized that his physical state, which remained unchanged all these while, could be upgraded.
Besides this, he could level up his bloodline too.
As for the state of his Xuan skill and the lucky draw, he didn’t even think of it.
He shouldn’t use the lucky draw now since he shouldn’t attract the suspicion of the man with the big face and the white deer.
As for the state of his Xuan skill, Zhou Ye felt that there was no danger since he was at the cliff now.
If the white deer wanted to attack him, he wouldn’t be able to retaliate with just his Qi Refinement state.
Thus, temporarily, there wasn’t much significance in increasing his Xuan skill.
The options left were his bloodline and his cultivation state, as well as his physical state.
There was no need to think about his physical state at this moment. Zhou Ye felt that his current body was alright.
It was quite durable.
He didn’t feel the need to level up his bloodline either.
Hence, Zhou Ye decided to increase his cultivation state. After all, the man with the big face said that he would reward him with the cultivation of a small state. If he leveled up other areas, accidents might happen.
700 all-purpose points were used.
Cultivation State: Qi Refinement·Peak.
The cold and refreshing aura appeared once again. The quality and quantity of the Xuan Qi in Zhou Ye’s body increased once again.
His dantian was filled with Xuan Qi.
It was loaded.
Zhou Ye couldn’t help but feel proud when he felt the powerful energy given by the peak state of Qi Refinement.
However, once he thought of the frightening cultivation of the white deer and the man with a big face, he became humble.
He was still just a small figure. He needed to work harder.
He hadn’t even reached the state requirement for manifestation. What was the use of talking about all these?
In the yard.
The man with a big face glanced at Zhou Ye who was under the old tree. He nodded his head in satisfaction.
“From its birth as a sprout to an inferior-grade spirit plant at the peak of Qi Refinement, this little spirit herb only needed half a month… Although there were many other factors helping its cultivation, I can’t deny that this plant is a rare talent.”
“I just need to groom it carefully so it can become a pillar of my wood world in the future…”
The white deer turned to look at him when it heard the man’s muttering.
“Hurry up! Stop lazing around!” The man with the big face glared at the white deer.
The white deer rolled its eyes. The crystal white antlers on its head gave off a colorful glow.
Both the antlers gave off a colorful glow. The glow congregated above the white deer’s forehead right in the middle.
The colorful light kept congregating before turning into a concentrated ball.
In the end, after the colorful ball of light reached a certain level of concentration, the white deer lowered its head, and the ball of colorful light slowly moved towards the spirit field.
The man with the big face was still satisfied when he saw the ball of light.
The ball of light floated above the spirit field and suddenly exploded.
Different colored light droplets floated down slowly like snowflakes. They landed on the spirit field.
On the spirit field, the spirit herbs that were harmed by the white deer were slowly recovering.
The spirit herbs lying flat on the soil started rising. The branches that were broken from trampling healed too. Bright-colored flowers started blooming and colorful glows appeared.
Within a few breaths, the spirit herbs in the spirit field recovered completely.
In the middle of the spirit field, there was a small fruit tree. It was only three meters tall, and there were two fresh red and juicy fruits on it.
“There’s one life-changing fruit missing,” the man with the big face said to the white deer without any expressions on his face.
The white deer hung its head down. It was very sad.
It looked like it needed to suffer a huge loss today.
The antlers in its head started glowing again. A ray of white light shot out like lightning towards the small-sized tree.
The white light flowed out continuously. On the small-sized branch, a new fruit appeared.
From the size of a grain to the size of a fist, it took only a few breaths.
But to let the small-sized tree bear this fruit, the white deer used up all the energy in its body.
The crystal white antlers on its head became dim and dark. It started to look tired and lifeless too.
“This is a lesson for this. If you dare to eat my precious spirit herbs again, I will hit you.” After inspecting the white deer and ascertaining that it was alright, the man with a big face snorted and flicked his sleeve. He walked into the house.
Actually, he didn’t care if the white deer ate his spirit herbs. He only cared about a small portion of his spirit herbs.
Those were the spirit herbs that other people had requested.
There was also another spirit plant that he cared about. It was of some use to him.
