The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 645 - 367 Ba Snake Mountain Range

After a long ti, she reluctantly withdrew her hand.

"This old tree was originally planted here by soone. Although it doesn’t know who planted it, that doesn’t hinder it from becoming close to people. This type of Gui Tree emits a peculiar fragrance from its flowers every September, capable of amplifying the desires of animals, humans, and even demons. About several hundred years ago, this village was set up. At that ti, the village had a small population. The Chief had the ability to communicate with plants, so he pleaded with it to release that peculiar fragrance every year during the flowering period."

"The Gui Tree agreed to it. Thus, for the past several hundred years, Nian Family Village has been holding the Harvest Festival on this night, partly to celebrate the autumn harvest, and partly to let young n and won choose their partners and start new lives. However, the reason for celebrating this ceremony on this day has been forgotten over ti. Although they feel affectionate about this old tree, they don’t realize that they are constantly in the company of spirit monsters."

Sotis, being oblivious is also a kind of blessing.

She narrated these stories, intended for the ears of both people inside and outside of God Demon Prison. Since the old tree and humans had an agreent, and it acted according to the agreent, she couldn’t reproach it. Now, Nian Family Village has a population of over two thousand; it prospers well without needing the seductive fragrance. It’s funny that the forr Chief didn’t set a duration for the agreent, so the naive old Gui Tree kept honoring it for centuries... Well, let the matter of the seductive fragrance rest; after all, there isn’t the issue of loss or advantage between her and Changtian."

Afterward, she took out a small bottle from her breast, pouring out a small puff of pale gray mist. As soon as this mist appeared, everyone imdiately felt the temperature around them drop slightly.

Fu Yunzhang wondered, "What are you doing?"

"Making a trade." She said without looking up, pushing the mist towards the ground. The soil suddenly heaved and cracked open, and then several dark brown roots erged. They lightly coiled around and enveloped the small puff of mist like a physical object and then buried it back beneath the ground. All these actions were completed within re seconds. If not for the heaved soil as evidence, it would seem as if nothing had happened. Several passing mortals hurriedly rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrongly.

Then, a long branch suddenly hung down from the towering canopy more than ten ters above, bearing a huge flower bud. Usually, osmanthus flowers are quite small, arranged in clusters, but this bud was innately special, as big as a fist, uniquely adorning a branch, dazzling everyone. Soon, the petals of the flower bud slowly opened downwards and Ning Xiaoxian quickly aligned the bottle against the flower. After a little while, a bright green liquid gushed copiously from the flower pistil, filling two bottles.

This substance, unparalleled in fragrance and very familiar, was recognized by everyone present as the peculiar fragrance that drifts out on the night of the Harvest Festival. Qing’er blushed and said, "Is this the seductive fragrance?"

"Exactly," Ning Xiaoxian sealed the bottle, then put it away, "I gave it a small cluster of Plant Essence as a return gift, and it gifted back the saved-up seductive fragrance of the past few years." Where did the Plant Essence co from? It was from the Resentful Wood Essence that once chased Ali. After Changtian erased its Divine Sense, it reverted to the purest Plant Essence, a great supplent to both the soil and other plants. Though the old Gui Tree, not having opened its spiritual intelligence, instinctively knew its benefits.

The agreent it made with the Chief in the old days was to release the seductive fragrance only during the night of the autumn sacrifice each year, keeping it retracted at other tis. After all, certain human needs cannot occur too frequently; softly does it in pleasure, hard does it in harm and going too hard, well, leads to ashes and smoke. Hence, the surplus seductive fragrance it accumulated over the years solidified into this luminous green tree sap. Swapping sothing useless to it for the Plant Essence felt like a good deal to the old Gui Tree.

What will Ning Xiaoxian do with it? To be honest, she wasn’t sure yet, but she felt deep down that sothing that could influence Cultivators without their awareness would definitely be of great use soday. All things are neutral; their goodness or badness depends on their use, and she is a pragmatist.

At that mont, Changtian teased her in a whisper: "If you figure out how to use this substance, I don’t mind temporarily withdrawing my Divine Power to beco your test subject.".
