"Huh? This old lady is really generous and selfless!"

Wang Wu was utterly shocked, but upon reflection, it seemed normal. Who could have guessed that the resurrected Master Mu was a fake?

The next second, Wang Wu made muffled sounds as he arduously and strenuously climbed out of the large pit, and then, in a shake, transformed into a teenage boy with rosy lips and white teeth and a delicate face.

He did want to become an old man, but it didn't seem appropriate, even though there wasn't any particular reason, so he turned into such a youth.

While he was completing his transformation, the old woman watched without blinking, holding a peculiar jade talisman in her curved palm. Then, she carefully picked up the jade talisman and scrutinized it for a good while, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Master Mu, do you still remember me? I'm Niuniu, the little Niuniu who loved following you catching butterflies eight hundred years ago?"

The old woman asked expectantly, her turbid old eyes sparkling with a crystalline light.

What now?

Wang Wu could only look at her blankly, thinking it was already a miracle to be alive; who would remember all those things?

Let it be as it may.

But then the old woman looked down at the odd jade talisman again, and seeing no change on it, her expectant old face instantly turned cold, with the crystalline tear glance in her eyes disappearing.

"From now on, you are called Master Mu and are responsible for managing the 39,810 spirit plants in this manor. The spiritual qi in the manor is at your disposal, and you have some authority over the mountain protection array within the manor, which you can use for your cultivation."

"Ordinarily, you need to follow my orders. If I'm not present, then listen to Ah Da and Ah Er. Should the master return, remember to unconditionally execute his any command."

Having said this, the old woman suddenly took swift action, forcibly pressing the jade talisman onto Wang Wu's forehead, seemingly intending to embed it?

No, there was an eerie and mysterious flame aura within the jade talisman, almost shattering Wang Wu's transformation. Fortunately, the current state of the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf was excellent, sustaining the transformation.

The next moment, a scorched scent wafted up, leaving a brand on his forehead that read "Sealed as Master Mu."

Without a doubt, this was to bind and restrict the Tree Demon Gardener.

These realizations flashed across Wang Wu's mind, and his eyes gradually became less bewildered, though he still retained a somewhat wooden demeanor.

The old woman said nothing more but scrutinized Wang Wu with a gaze akin to Eagle Eye and Wolf Glance.

This old fox, though superstitious, was indeed astutely shrewd.

Wang Wu gave her an imaginary middle finger and woodenly gazed around, while those men and women on the distant clearing also held their breath and watched expectantly.

Undoubtedly, the test continued, and whether he, the Tree Demon Gardener, could complete the task was of grave importance.

Wang Wu pondered the countermeasure, lamenting that the attribute bar and Inheritance Soul Jade were silent at this time. It seemed the Bear Demon Emperor hadn't experienced such a rich repertoire.

But Wang Wu had seen Elder Song, so he woodenly walked, his steps a bit hesitant, surveying the nearby spirit plants, looking at this one and that one.

Then he just kept walking, continuously observing, his mind coming up with several plans, but none seemed completely reliable. He needed analysis, mainly clandestine listening to and observing the whispering of the group of men and women and their expressions.

That old woman was genuinely a perverted-enhanced version of Master Extinction, with no clues to be discerned at all.

But that group of people was easy to analyze.

Thus, Wang Wu woodenly, tenaciously walked about thirty miles, circling a whole mountain, finally extracting quite hardcore information from the whispers and expressions of those people.

The truth was explosive!

The fact was, the old woman had borrowed a huge amount, acquiring a secret recipe from somewhere, claiming it could revive the deceased Tree Demon Gardener.

Heaven knows how she became so spellbound.

But this matter was unbeknownst to the manor's owner, who called the old woman the wet nurse...

Understood.

Classic case of good intentions causing bad outcomes!

Is this the Cultivation Realm version of a scam?

Cultivators can also be deceived?

Ha, allow him to laugh for three minutes first.

So now the urgent task is to have the old woman fill this gap; otherwise, punishment from the manor's owner is a minor concern; the focus is on repaying the debt.

Now, Wang Wu knew what to do; this time, he directly walked toward an enormous spirit plant. Although he didn't recognize it, he could tell it was the most valuable spirit plant in Jade Mountain Manor because, earlier, when he approached it, the old woman's breathing had become heavy, and many had nearly cheered.

However, as he walked away without looking sideways, these people were visibly disappointed, expressing apparent unhappiness.

Hmm, so this thing could solve the issue?

Let me take a look?

This spirit plant looked like a large banyan tree but definitely didn't belong to the Ancient Tree Race because its roots were branched, like a daffodil bulb, so, in actuality, it was a flower?

But it didn't have buds, and even many leaves were convulsing and curling. Besides, the abundance of Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi here was rich, so it wasn't lacking in spiritual qi. Could it be plagued by pests?

Wang Wu wasn't sure, but he had the Companion Demon Vine.

Approaching the spirit plant, when the old woman attempted to follow, Wang Wu immediately turned and looked at her, shaking his head slightly, to which the old woman instantly understood and retreated a hundred steps reverently, while others were driven back a thousand steps.

You are very clever, huh.

Only then did Wang Wu continue to approach, woodenly, stiffly stretching out his left hand as if to touch and check, but the Companion Demon Vine's tiny, almost invisible tentacles had already swiftly pierced into the plant, seeking the cause of the ailment.

Though it was a Devil Vine, this thing truly was the Holy Hand of spirit plants.

This advantage was one that the Human Race and Demon Race could hardly match.

Wang Wu thought that from now on, he could let the companion demon vine capture the Great Illusion King Insect, provided the companion demon vine could suppress the supreme pressure of the ancient tree...

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the tiny tentacles of the companion demon vine had already found the key to the problem, a peculiar stone buried 300 meters deep underground, right beneath the main root of this spirit plant. Who put it there?

But at a glance, it was clear this wasn't an accident, but a premeditated sabotage.

It's possible that the death of the previous tree demon gardener is also related to this.

Wang Wu attempted to use the companion demon vine to extract the stone, but the companion demon vine felt an overwhelming fear, wow, what is the origin of this stone?

Wang Wu frowned slightly, retracted the companion demon vine, and then stepped back three steps, directly transforming into a large wooden lump, and started burrowing into the ground, as a tree demon gardener, having this identity made everything he did seem reasonable.

Even that extinction plus version of the old lady didn't show why so, although still very cold, her tightly clenched hands inside her sleeves betrayed her.

Wang Wu's 17+1.3 constant danger perception is no joke.

Very quickly, Wang Wu dug a large pit and covered himself with earth, then activated the passive concealment in constant mode, which was 17+2.6+0.5+1=21.1 level.

He didn't even need to activate the two concealing demon pills, otherwise, the highest passive concealment could reach 23.1 level, terrifying indeed.

Of course, this was under the premise that there were no tree demon gardeners nearby, no reconnaissance arrays to restrict the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, otherwise it would only be 22.1 level.

At this moment, Wang Wu directly started the earth escape, without a trace, and in an instant arrived 300 meters underground, successfully finding the stone, it wasn't large, about the size of an egg, but it was completely black, seemingly highly toxic, yet delayed in its release.

And this toxin—golly, it's the Five Poison Spiritual Qi.

Case solved, no wonder the companion demon vine feared it like a tiger, this thing involved the infamous Ten Thousand Poison Sect?

What the heck!

Old friends indeed!

Wang Wu directly grabbed it, and in that instant, the toxic stone erupted, sure enough, there was an internal poison array, triggering upon contact.

But at that moment, Wang Wu didn't hesitate, directly swallowing the stone, sending it down to his stomach, come on, competing in toxin damage, is it?

A long-awaited feeling indeed.

It's been ages since he last practiced poison resistance.

Almost simultaneously, Wang Wu's Ice and Fire Spirit Root was activated, Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi circulated, Ice and Fire Talisman initiated!

A terrifying wave of Five Poison Spiritual Qi began rampaging inside Wang Wu.

But besides using Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, Wang Wu even didn't take any further countermeasures, as he needed to practice Demon King level resistance.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as wished, there were traitors in the court!

From the moment the toxic stone entered his mouth and then his stomach, first, the Ice and Fire Talisman activated automatically, initially exempting 2000 points of toxin damage.

Then, the Heart of the Earth intervened automatically, guiding the Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi to protect the heart meridian heart scripture, and then the lungs and intestines, further protecting the demon pill.

This was just when the Ice and Fire Talisman was pierced by the Five Poison Spiritual Qi.

Though the Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi had not yet completed a full circulation, heavy forces had already besieged the internal organs and where the demon pill lay.

Yes, fully automatic.

He needed ten seconds to navigate Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi for a complete circulation, but at this moment, under the Heart of the Earth's intervention, the innate and acquired systems cooperated almost flawlessly, so swiftly Wang Wu couldn't even react.

Giving off a sense of being abandoned by the times, without even a goodbye.

Thus, throughout, only his mouth and throat were scorched and corroded, but they were immediately taken over by Qi and Blood Circulation, activating Healing Talent, as the Five Poison Spiritual Qi was being surrounded, on one side the injuries were already healed.

The entire process took less than ten seconds, and the battle was already over.

And that pitiable Five Poison Spiritual Qi was trapped in the Ice and Fire Vortex, unable to advance or retreat, and then every second, a small portion would be annihilated.

What frightening toxin damage, what toxin resistance, wishful thinking, none of it existed!

Not allowed!

Yes, just like how after a nation is formed, certain industries are defined as criminal acts.

Ever since Wang Wu united innate and acquired systems, completing reforms, sorry Old Wang, please understand, this is an illegal action.

Just the Heart of the Earth + Ice and Fire Spirit Root alone couldn't be overcome.

As toxin damage enters, Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi will isolate and sever it!

There will never again be a need for overwhelming life force to resist, immunity and such, please retire.

As for toxin damage launching from the outside, it has to go through the Ice and Fire Shield first!

This, in fact, is the truth.

This is not an exclusive advantage Wang Wu currently possesses, but one owned by all Human Race cultivators.

Otherwise, in the West Wilderness, why would the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, which terrifies countless bigwigs of the Demon Race, resort to such lowly means at the mere Jade Mountain Manor?

On the one hand, there should be established rules within the Human Race, so battles cannot escalate to extremes.

On the other hand, the Five Poison Spiritual Qi's inability to cause devastating effects on other spiritual qi is surely a key reason.

"So, from now on, I only have Yang Thunder, Yin Fire, Evil Wind, these Three Calamities to practice negative resistance?"

For a moment, Wang Wu felt lost.
