Chapter 119 Let's set a small goal first.
"you?"
Si Xiaoxiao looked at Tao Tao with disdain. Although she couldn't beat Tao Tao, judging from Tao Tao's current strength, ascension was simply a pipe dream.
"What's wrong with me?" Tao Tao was very confused. She was very serious and not joking. How could she go to the God Realm without ascending to the Immortal Realm? How could she find Bai Yan?
The one who's left by her side now is just a clone, and she doesn't know when it will leave. This feeling of the unknown is terrifying for Tao Tao, and she wants to keep it.
To Si Xiaoxiao's surprise, Tao Tao looked very serious. It wasn't that she wanted to discourage Tao Tao, but the chances were really slim. She shrugged and said helplessly, "You should save your breath. The reason my master was able to ascend was because he had talent. You can't find a second one like him in the entire Fengyuan Continent. Besides, even so, it took my master nearly 50,000 years. Given your current situation, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"How will you know if you don't try? Besides, I'm more powerful than you. If even I can't ascend, then you have even less of a chance."
"you……"
Hearing Tao Tao's rebuttal, Si Xiaoxiao was speechless. It was indeed the case. If Tao Tao couldn't ascend, she shouldn't either. But if she couldn't ascend, how was she going to find Fang Heng?
Si Xiaoxiao fell silent. She lowered her eyes, her gaze misting over them. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she didn't know what to do.
Compared to her, Tao Tao was much more optimistic. She grinned, patted her shoulder, and said confidently, "So you have to believe me. If I can ascend, I will definitely help you, but the premise is that you have to be useful to me."
"I will absolutely not become your spirit beast! Don't even think about it!"
"Who wants you to be a spirit beast? I already have Tuan Tuan, and besides, your strength is average, I don't want you."
"you!"
Si Xiaoxiao felt insulted. She, a dignified nine-tailed fox demon, was actually being disliked. You should know that ordinary people can't find them.
"I'll give you two choices: either stay by my side and help me, or I'll take your Yuan Dan and eat it." Tao Tao said such a horrifying thing with an innocent look, making Si Xiaoxiao's eyes widen. "How can you be so cruel at such a young age?"
"You lured us into the ancient temple, intending to kill us. I haven't even settled that score with you yet, so how can you call me vicious?"
Tao Tao's voice was soft and sweet, seemingly without any intimidation, but Si Xiaoxiao, who had fought with her before, dared not underestimate her and believed that Tao Tao was capable of doing such a thing.
"Why do you insist on me following you?" Si Xiaoxiao was completely baffled as to why he insisted on having her come along when he clearly didn't like her.
Hearing this, Tao Tao laughed happily, glanced at Bai Yan, and said, "Because A Yan said you have a talent for treasure hunting, and you will be able to find any treasures immediately."
So that's why they valued her talent. Si Xiaoxiao was helpless. The Nine-Tailed Fox had more than just this one talent, but Tao Tao needed her most inconspicuous talent. She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Having been put on this front, Si Xiaoxiao had no choice. Although she was unwilling, she could only give in, "Okay, I agree, but..."
"I will place a restriction on you to prevent you from betraying me halfway through."
"Seriously? How come you're so thoughtful, little brat?"
Before she could even finish speaking, Tao Tao had already made up her mind, as if she had deliberately dug a pit and was forcing Tao Tao to jump in herself.
"You can't be careless. Ayan said that foxes are the most deceitful, and told me to be careful." As she spoke, Tao Tao walked up to Si Xiaoxiao and pointed a finger at Si Xiaoxiao's brow. Suddenly, two extremely oppressive auras rushed into Si Xiaoxiao's body, almost making her lose her senses.
After finally managing to merge the two forces into Si Xiaoxiao's body, she gasped for breath, staring at Tao Tao in disbelief, "What exactly is your true form...?"
However, Tao Tao did not answer her question, and Si Xiaoxiao fell into a deep sleep, transforming into a snow-white fox nest on the ground. Tao Tao put it into her pet bag, then clapped her hands in satisfaction and turned around to ask, "Ayan, is it really okay for me to keep this fox with me?"
"Are you afraid of her?" Bai Yan raised an eyebrow, and Tao Tao quickly shook her head. "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I feel she's very smart."
"As long as you're not too stupid, you won't be fooled by her. Besides, you've already placed a restriction on her, so you know exactly what she's thinking. Don't worry, she can't do anything to you."
"That's good."
Tao Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, with A Yan around, nothing would be a problem.
"Oh, right." Just as Bai Yan was about to return to the pendant, Tao Tao suddenly remembered something important and quickly called out to Bai Yan, "Ayan, I've obtained a treasure!"
She proudly took out the Bodhi Fruit from her storage bracelet, only to find that tiny sprouts had grown on the originally golden and translucent fruit. "Oh dear, it's sprouted. I wonder if it's still edible..."
"The Bodhi Fruit? You can't eat this now. It's just sprouted, so perhaps we can cultivate it into a towering tree." Bai Yan was also surprised that such a thing could exist in the human realm. It seems that quite a few immortals have smuggled themselves into the human realm, otherwise they wouldn't have left behind the seeds.
Tao Tao's heart shattered at the thought that it couldn't be eaten. Holding the golden fruit with longing eyes, it said with deep regret, "If it can't be eaten, what's the point of raising it? Just to watch it bear a tree full of fruit?"
Bai Yan shook his head slightly at her ignorance, "Once it grows into a towering tree, you will have enough strength to refine the fruit on it. At that time, you can eat as much as you want. However, the Twin Trees of Bodhi are not originally from the human realm, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate them. They require a special space and spiritual spring, and people must personally transfer pure spiritual energy into them. Just cultivating a sapling would probably take tens of thousands of years."
"That's so long..." The thought of having to wait tens of thousands of years to eat the fruit made Tao Tao's heart sink, and she didn't even want to cultivate it anymore.
"Although it takes a long time, it's worth it. The deliciousness of the Bodhi fruit is incomparable to that of ordinary fruits. It has already sprouted. If you don't want to cultivate it, it will wither in three days. Just ignore it."
Bai Yan seemed to be deliberately enticing her to plant the Bodhi Fruit. Tao Tao, who was powerless against the word "delicious," immediately had her eyes light up. "Really? I'll plant it! I'll plant it!"
"If you really want to plant it, you need one more thing."
"What is it?"
"The spatial magic item, the white jade hairpin with flower branches, is currently the most suitable."
"This name sounds familiar," Tao Tao thought carefully, then suddenly a thought struck him. "Isn't this a high-level magic weapon that only the third-place winner of the martial arts competition can obtain?"
Thinking about my own points, the gap between me and the third-place finisher is quite significant.
"What, lacking confidence?"
"Yes, of course!"
She has to have confidence, even if she doesn't. It's just third place!
Seeing her resolute answer, Bai Yan slightly curled the corners of his mouth, flicked his long sleeves, and disappeared in a white light. Before leaving, he even left a message.
"Since you want to cultivate the Twin Trees, you must supply them with spiritual energy every day, and you must not forget that."
