Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 615: Chapter 423: It’s been a long time, Meng’s friend looks a lot more mature_2

“Thank you very much, Great Elder!” Tu Wa Zi chuckled and hurried forward to make his selection. He did so with the haste of someone who feared the Great Elder might change his mind the next second.

Then Gu Chen and Lin Hai, although somewhat embarrassed, joined him in choosing their items. Despite their initial displeasure, they were not shy young men.

“Great Elder, what is this?” Tu Wa Zi asked, holding up a large brush around a meter in length.

Although it was called a brush, it was more like a duster, albeit with bristles of a hard texture.

“I can’t exactly name this thing. It was something I found in some ancient ruins many years ago. It doesn’t have any offensive powers, but it’s quite a rare commodity. Anything drawn with it can become reality.”

Meng Tian Zheng lightly smiled as he explained.

“Such a miraculous thing exists! Is this the legendary Divine Pen?!” Shi Hao expressed his interest from the side.

The legend goes that there exists a magical pen born in the midst of creation. It is a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth, capable of drawing the starry sea, depicting cataclysmic disasters– virtually anything. Anything drawn by it can become reality, even the Perfect Immortal Seed.

“The Divine Pen is just a myth. Most of the legends in this world are either true or false, and most of them are just enlarged rumors. They are simply people’s beautiful wishes. Even if such a legend is true, the price to use such a pen against heaven would be unbearable!”

“You must understand that everything in this world is produced by cause and effect. There is fairness in everything. The gain you make must correspond to the effort you put in. One should never expect to gain something without working for it!”

Meng Tian Zheng seriously cautioned everyone.

Shi Hao and the others, of course, looked appreciative of his advice.

“These lads are teachable!” Meng Tian Zheng nodded in approval, stroked his beard thoughtfully, and continued. @@novelbin@@

“This pen in my hand, of course, is nothing compared to the legendary Divine Pen. It can only draw ordinary things, like clothing, bedding, fruits, and vegetables. If you want to use this pen to draw a Perfect Immortal Seed, don’t even think about it. The pen can’t bear such great karma and would immediately turn into dust.”

“Well, that’s still quite interesting!” Tu Wa Zi’s smile deepened, and he seemed to grow increasingly fond of the brush in his hand. “Great Elder, I’ll take this one!”

“Alright, if you like it, it’s yours!”

Meng Tian Zheng shrugged slightly. To him, these things were just external objects. His original intention was to reward his outstanding disciples with them.

After Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and Lin Hai had finished selecting their items, Meng Tian Zheng also gifted Shi Hao an item.

The previous items were merely the cultivation experience and insights of his body’s seeds. They could not be considered rewards.

After chatting with Meng Tian Zheng for a while, they reluctantly took their leave.

…

“My brothers, sometimes I really envy you!”

On the small path in the woods leading back to the Academy from the Great Elder’s place, Shi Hao suddenly became sentimental.

Surrounded by soft wind and greenery, the fluttering leaves created a serene scene. On the stone path, moss grew as time seemed to silently pass in this tranquil woods. An ancient stone staircase unfolded before them, like a pathway to a fairyland. The curves of the path led into secluded depths, inspiring awe in their hearts.

Warm sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground, creating a surreal atmosphere.

The group walked side by side.

“What’s there to envy about us?” The three of them looked puzzled.

“I envy that you were born in Liu Village, with the protection of the Master of Liu Village. You can do good deeds without worrying about the future!” Shi Hao laughed.

The three of them did not refute, because in their minds, it was indeed true.

“Actually, Little Dot, you are the real genius. Although you have received some help, your achievements are mostly attributed to your own efforts. We are all happy for how far you’ve come!” Tu Wa Zi clapped Little Dot on the shoulder.

…

…

Ten days later, Shi Hao set off alone for a secret realm.

Named Fairy Mound, it was a place recommended by the Great Elder. It contained Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo and Netherworld Fruits, which could greatly assist his practice of the Law of Life.

Originally, Shi Hao was supposed to journey alone. However, the villagers of Liu Village decided to follow, abiding by Jiang Hui’s advice, and turned the trip into a massive group expedition.

The villagers of Liu Village also planned to practice both the Law of Life and the Immortal Ancient Method. Therefore, those good items were also of great benefit to them. By collecting them early, they could avoid the need for traveling in the future.

Meng Tian Zheng did not resist and agreed to their request.

The location of Fairy Mound was remote. It was unknown how many miles it was from the Academy. The journey was astronomical, requiring one Array after another to cross the void. For any living being, it was an unprecedented trial.

Originally, Jiang Hui planned to send them there with the Universe Battleship. However, he suddenly realized that the journey was crucial and could lead to unexpected experiences, possibly providing a lot of Experience Points. So, after some consideration, Jiang Hui decided to let them go on their own.

In fact, his decision was proven correct.

About half a month later, the Golden Finger started reminding him of a surge in experience points.

Jiang Hui was delighted. A quick glance revealed that the experience points received in just that short time exceeded the total of previous gains.

However, why such an explosive increase in experience points? He did not know the reason.

While his Five Senses were now at their peak and he could sit back and watch the situation of the Heavenly’s God Academy from Liu Village, he himself was left in the dark about it.
