After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1242: The Fickle Treasure

The owner of the soul box can capture souls and use them as nutrients for the peach tree;
The owner of the soul box can designate a main soul for the peach tree;
Once the main soul is designated, it cannot act independently of the peach tree, but when the fruits on the tree ripen and fall to the ground, they will transform into clones of the main soul and carry out its orders.

“No wonder the clones of the Ghost King Xuanlu appear one after another, endlessly.” Dong Rui suddenly realized, “It turns out that this is the work of the Soul Box.”

"Before we cut down the peach tree, there were no fruits on it. That is to say, all of the clones of the Xuanlu Ghost King were sent out, leaving no one behind." Fu Liushan nodded, "Its original body can only sleep here, waiting to revive and cultivate new clones."

Dong Rui was puzzled: "Why does it stay here and not escape from the underground palace?"

"This cave is hidden, and ordinary people can't find it at all. It's better to hide here and recuperate than to escape." Fu Liushan glanced at He Lingchuan. This guy is not an ordinary person. It's really unlucky for the Ghost King Xuanlu to meet him. "Besides, he shouldn't dare to entrust the soul box to any ghost, right?"

There are not a single ghost in the underground palace that the Ghost King Xuanlu can trust.

It would rather lie in this cold secret room under the water and slowly recover its strength.

Dong Rui murmured, "Whether alive or dead, this guy is just as pathetic."

He Lingchuan has been observing the tree stump in the box: "This tree seems to be dying?"

The peach tree with the human face was cut off by him and sucked into the divine bone necklace, leaving only a stump in the box. In nature, it is not uncommon for tree stumps to remain alive and grow again.

But as these pairs of eyes watched, the tree stump slowly dried up, turned black in the center and white at the edges, and it was obviously about to die.

He Lingchuan raised the Fu Sheng Knife and lightly touched it with the back of the knife. I don't know if it was because the knife was too strong, but the peach stump aged faster and turned into a pile of powder in less than ten breaths.

"You cut too hard and the stake is broken." Dong Rui said unhappily, "What a waste of such a precious thing!"

Lingguang also said: "The pattern on the lid of the box has disappeared."

It picked up the lid of the box and showed it to the three people. Sure enough, the pattern of the old peach tree on the outer cover had been smoothed out and was now empty.

He Lingchuan looked at Fu Liushan again, who shrugged to show that he was helpless. He was best at catching ghosts, not planting trees.

Hey, wait, planting trees?

He Lingchuan thought about it carefully, and an unreliable idea came to his mind.

"Wait a minute."

He rummaged in the storage ring for a long time and suddenly took out a small branch.

The branch is very fresh, with two green leaves on it.

At first glance, it looked nothing strange, as if it was picked from the roadside, but Fu Liushan knew that he had many treasures in his hands, and it would not be easy to take out any one of them. So, after taking a closer look, he understood: "Juluo branch?"

A precious tree that can enter and exit the blue sky.

"Yes." He Lingchuan answered casually, shook off the stump powder in the box, and then inserted the Ju Luo branch into the soil.

This was a branch cut from the Juluo tree in Panlong City. It was also the remaining base material from the last time he refined the Xinglong Pillar. He had a sudden inspiration and used it to make up the number.

Planting trees, hasn’t he done that before?
The branches were inserted into the miniature bonsai and stood firmly. It was not as twisted and delicate as the original peach tree, but it had an upright shape.

Dong Rui didn't believe it: "You can just pick up a branch and replace the peach tree? How can such a good thing happen?"

This time, Lingguang was the one who ruined his act. He pointed at the dirt in the box and said, "No, look!"

The peach stump powder on the muddy ground quickly seeped into the soil and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The peach powder has been absorbed." Lingguang said happily, "The little tree needs nutrition!"

The ghost ape also grabbed the lid of the box on one side, grinned, shook it towards Dong Rui, and laughed twice.

Everyone could see that there was a new pattern on the lid, this time it was a Guro tree.

Oh, it’s generated instantly.

Does this mean that the branches of the Guro tree have been recognized by the soul box and have stood firm inside the miniature bonsai?
Fu Liushan was very excited: "Let's try it."

The instructions on the soul box are very clear: if the tree in the box is to grow and bear fruit, it needs to be composted.

Fertilizer is the soul absorbed from the outside.

Fu Liushan immediately took out his blower and squeezed out a ghost from it: "Let's use it as an experiment. This is a water ghost that has killed six or seven people."

He grabbed the water ghost with a chain and brought it close to the small tree, wanting to see how the box could capture the soul.

The water ghost struggled hard, but he was no match for the human.

But he pulled and pulled, even pulling the water ghost around the tree three times, but the little tree didn't react at all.

Fu Liushan even pressed the ghost into the soil, but it was still not absorbed.

How to use it?
"Isn't it the box that holds the soul?" Lingguang scratched his head and carefully closed the box.

The moment the box was closed, countless black shadows suddenly stretched out from the pattern of the kotara tree painted on the lid. They were clearly tree branches, but at first glance they looked like the waving hands of an evil spirit.

They grabbed the water ghost four feet away and pulled it back viciously.

The water ghost screamed, even more frightened than when it was in Fu Liushan's hands.

But the arm was no match for the thigh, and it was immediately pulled into the lid of the box and disappeared.

He Lingchuan opened the lid of the box again, and the bonsai looked normal, but when they lifted up the fluorescent spores to observe, they discovered that a tender side bud had sprouted from the small tree!

Smaller than a sesame seed.

"Amazing! It's starting to sprout new buds now?" Fu Liushan stroked his chin and said, "The Ghost King Xuanlu is gone. Do you want to put a new soul in as the main soul? Wait, the instructions on the side of the box have changed! Wow, even the name has been changed."

The description of the Soul Box had changed from three to two at some point:

A treasure box with a silk cloth.

The owner of the soul box can capture souls and use them as nutrients for the Jura tree; the more powerful the soul, the higher the fertility.

The spiritual flowers that bloom on the Guru tree can nourish and heal the soul; when the spiritual flowers turn into fruits, the fruits can turn into the ferocious Guru tree demon.

Among them, "peach tree" became "Guluo tree";
The box's soul-binding ability is still there, but it can no longer designate a main soul for the small tree, and the functions of its flowers and fruits have also changed.

Dong Rui was amazed: "I thought the human-faced peach was a treasure, but I didn't expect that the box itself was the treasure."

This was the first time they had seen such a fickle treasure.

The Ju Luo tree raised in Panlong City has been transformed by the Dafang Pot. It originally had the ability to devour souls. Now that it has been planted in the soul box, no one knows what it will become in the end.

A new species?

He Lingchuan has seen the tree man clone released by the Treasure Tree King. Can the fruit of the tree in the box also become like that?

He pointed his chin at the box and asked Fu Liushan, "Master Fu, are you interested?"

Catching ghosts and nourishing souls sounds like Fu Liushan's cup of tea.

Fu Liushan patted his bellows and said, "I already have a treasure for collecting souls and raising ghosts. It's an heirloom from my ancestors."

"Okay." He Lingchuan didn't act pretentiously and casually put the soul box into his arms.
