Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 222: Three Trees

"One day outside is one month inside." Shen Xu proudly declared.

"This is good." Zhen Yuan smiled and soon continued.

"Five hundred years in the Yunshan secret realm will turn into fifteen thousand years."

"Fifteen thousand years is more than enough time to advance our cultivation from the spirit transformation realm to the peak of the fusion realm." The double excitedly said.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan agreed.

However, he was worried about spirit stones.

Even if they found a lot treasures in the Yunshan secret realm, they lacked enough spirit stones to maintain the space.

’There are still five years before the secret realm opens. We will find a way.’ He thought, looking at Shen Xu with doting eyes.

"Are there more changes?" He asked.

"One more." The double said and pulled Zhen Yuan into the space.

Soon after, Xiaoren appeared before them.

"Masters." The little ginseng called.

"Xiaoren, how are you?" Shen Xu asked.

"Master, my cultivation has improved and I have recalled more things." Xiaoren said with a trace of excitement in its voice.

"Do you..." The double started but Xiaoren nodded before Shen Xu could finish his question.

"Masters, please follow me to the three trees."

Soon after, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and the little ginseng arrived in front of the first tree.

At a glance, the tree had changed.

Originally, the tree was an ordinary seedling with a tender look and a green trunk.

Now, the seedling was a two metres tall tree with a dozen branches and a firm trunk.

Most importantly, its colour had changed from green to white.

"It’s colour has changed." Shen Xu exclaimed and Xiaoren excitedly nodded.

"Masters, this is the soul nourishing tree."

"Soul nourishing tree?" Shen Xu muttered, turning to Zhen Yuan with a questioning look.

"I have read about it." Zhen Yuan said and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"The soul nourishing wood can nurture the soul and prevent it from dissipating."

"Lord Zhen is knowledgeable but the soul nourishing tree has more uses." Xiaoren said and quickly continued.

"Other than nourishing and condensing the soul, the tree’s dew can enhance soul power. With the tree’s dew, the masters don’t need soul water, soul stones, or other treasures to improve your soul power."

"Really?" Shen Xu was pleasantly surprised.

After all, soul treasures were expensive and hard to come by.

If soul nourishing tree dew could replace those treasures, then he and Zhen Yuan would benefit a lot.

Not only would they have an endless supply of dew for their own cultivation but they could also exchange it for other resources.

’As expected, brother Yuan is my lucky charm.’ He thought, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Back at the auction in Dragon City, you insisted on buying the bag of unknown old seeds. Who knew they would give us such a surprise?!"

"Masters, the soul nourishing tree has one more use." Xiaoren interupted their conversation.

"Say." Zhen Yuan said.

"The fruit of the soul nourishing tree can evolve the soul."

"Evolve the soul?" Shen Xu frowned when he heard this.

From what he knew, the soul evolved when advanced from the golden core realm to the nascent soul realm and again when the advanced to the spirit transformation realm.

Considering that, the soul nourishing fruit seemed useless since he and Zhen Yuan had already advanced to the spirit transformation realm.

"Master, soul evolution is different from what you are thinking." Xiaoren said and quickly continued.

"Mortals are born with a white soul and when they become cultivators, the colour changes from white to grey. Unfortunately, evolution stops there unless they refine an extraordinary treasure or practice a special technique."

"This..." Shen Xu was shocked.

He had never heard of soul colour.

Even the original book didn’t mention soul colour and the sudden knowledge made him a little confused.

"Xiaoren, what’s the importance of soul evolution?" He asked but Xiaoren couldn’t answer.

Instead, it shook its head and looked at the two with a solemn expression.

"Xiaoren only knows it’s important to evolve the soul."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t make things difficult for the little ginseng.

After all, they had long been used to its incomplete memory and restrictions on its speech.

"How long will it take for the tree to bear fruit?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"It will take another one thousand years for the tree to reach maturity. After that, the tree will bear fruit but the fruit won’t ripen until ten thousand years later."

"Eleven thousand years..." Shen Xu frowned.

"How many fruits will the tree bear?"

"Twelve fruits." Xiaoren said and quickly continued.

"Masters, don’t worry. Each person can have more than one fruit."

"That’s good to hear." Shen Xu nodded.

"Help us take care of the soul nourishing tree."

"Master doesn’t have to worry. I will take care of the tree and collect the dew every day."

"Good."

Soon after, the three walked to the second tree.

Compared to the soul nourishing tree, this tree still looked like a seedling.

At a glance, it was half a metre tall and still didn’t have any branches.

"Masters, this is the world tree." Xiaoren informed.

"World tree..." The double’s heart skipped a beat.

The world tree wasn’t mentioned in the original novel.

However, Shen Xu had read other cultivation novels and the world tree had often been mentioned.

That said, he didn’t know if the world tree had the same function as described in those novels.

"Master’s Chaos Flame Space is an independent space but it’s not an independent world. When the world tree matures, it can evolve the space into an independent world with its own laws and fate."

Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited when he heard this.

"Brother Yuan, we are going to have our own world." He excitedly said.

"Congratulations." Zhen Yuan was also happy.

An independent space was different from an independent world.

Once the space became a world, it would exist outside the control of the way of heaven of the cultivation world.

"What about the third tree?" Shen Xu asked.
