Don’t panic when the apocalypse comes, stock up on food first and then guns

Wu Weizi shook his head and sighed, "I thought that with the revival of spiritual energy, I could take the opportunity to show my skills, but who knew that I would encounter this world-destroying catastrophe. Sigh..."

His white beard swayed back and forth as he shook his head, looking a bit funny.

Jiang You asked, "I have an immature idea, but I have concerns and have not implemented it. Now that the Taoist priest is here, why don't you give me some advice?"

Wuweizi, "What?"

"What would happen if I used this tree heart?"

Wuweizi was somewhat surprised at her wild imagination. He had seen greedy people, but he had never seen anyone so greedy that he was not afraid of death.

"Since you have concerns, it proves that you know that humans cannot absorb this thing." Wuweizi said, "Wood Spirit Essence is a good thing, but good things are different for different people.

One man's meat may be another's poison!

If a plant gets this thing, it can directly transform from a pig in the field into Marshal Tianpeng.

But if a person uses this wood spirit essence, I’m sorry, in the end it will just become a more special tree.”

At this point, Wuweizi suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I heard that you are the only person who can fuse with the fire so far? Are you sure that the wood spirit essence and the fire will not be mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive?"

Jiang You was silent.

She had indeed had such an idea before and had tried it, but every time before it began to absorb, the fire in her body would resist wildly.

This is not a good sign.

"Is there no other way?" Jiang You asked.

Wuweizi: "No."

Jiang You pondered for a moment and said, "What if the power is transformed?"

"What do you mean?" Now it was Wuweizi's turn to be confused.

Jiang You took him to the yard to see the man-eating tree.

I also saw his disciple, Soapberry.

The well-behaved little Taoist boy stood obediently aside, met Jiang You's gaze, and bowed solemnly.

Strictly.

Jiang You walked under the tree and raised his hand slightly. The man-eating tree lowered its thin branches and lightly fell into Jiang You's palm, as if it was acting coquettishly.

"What would happen if I gave it the heart of the tree?"

Hearing this, Wuweizi looked at her in even greater surprise. This idea was even more outrageous than what she had absorbed herself.

"I suggest you don't do that."

"Why?"

“If I’m not mistaken, your tree evolved from a man-eating tree. This kind of tree is brutal by nature. If you get the tree’s heart, its power will increase beyond your expectations!

By then, he won't stay in your yard so obediently.

Maybe you can see it pull the roots out of the soil and run away, and you can't even find it!

This is still good. Once a mutant plant like this with ferocious nature acquires powerful strength, it will prey immediately. At that time, you will be its first prey."

Jiang You didn't say anything. In fact, she hadn't yet integrated the spark of Hope Base.

But no one knew about this.

She wanted to give the tree heart to the man-eating tree out of selfish motives.

But this selfish motive is not just for the man-eating tree, but more for himself.

The man-eating tree and she are like twins with one life. If she becomes stronger, the man-eating tree will become stronger as well.

Conversely, if the man-eating tree is powerful, its power will also be fed back to Jiang You.

"Also, giving a tree something with such huge energy to absorb is like feeding a person too much food at once. If a person eats too much, he will die."

Jiang You nodded, saying that there is a limit to the energy that the man-eating tree can absorb.

Whether it is a person with special abilities or a mutated plant or animal, it is impossible for them to absorb energy endlessly.

The man-eating tree's current upper limit for absorbing crystal cores per day is only a few baskets. She can feel that the heart of the tree contains amazing power. If the man-eating tree cannot absorb it all at once, she cannot guarantee that the remaining energy will not dissipate.

This is why she has always been worried.

"I know this, so please help me, Taoist Priest!"

"It's not that there is no way, but what good is it for me?"

Wuweizi looked at Jiang You steadily, “This wood spirit essence has enormous energy. Once it is activated, unless it is completely absorbed at once, the remaining energy will return to the world.

If you want to solve it, there is a way.

I will set up a soul-binding formation..."

Jiang You interrupted him, "What does the Taoist want?"

Jiang You thought that Wuweizi was going to ask for a huge amount of money and wanted something important in exchange.

But unexpectedly, he pointed inside the house.

Jiang You looked back and saw steaming food on the long table and Yan Chi drinking soup elegantly.

God knows why he drinks spicy soup so elegantly!

Jiang You raised his eyebrows, "Do you want another bowl?"

Wuweizi: "..."

"City Lord Jiang, there's no point in pretending to be stupid..."

"Then I won't engage in human trafficking!" Jiang You said directly.

Wu Weizi smacked his lips, "If I'm not mistaken, then that red-haired guy is a fire-type mutant?"

Jiang You, "His name is Yan Chi?"

"This is not important." Wuweizi waved his hand, "If I am not mistaken, this boy has the Fire Spiritual Root chosen by Heaven, which is exactly the disciple I want."

Jiang You, "Don't you have a closed disciple?"

"That kid has wood spiritual roots, so he can't inherit my legacy. He can only learn some superficial skills."

Jiang You hesitated. She couldn't make the decision on Yan Chi's behalf regarding the matter of becoming his disciple.

So I asked, "What can you teach him?"

"Five Elements Thunder Magic, Spreading Beans to Create Soldiers, Flying into the Sky and Hiding into the Ground..." Under Jiang You's expectant gaze, he shook his head and said, "I probably don't have these abilities."

Jiang You sighed in disappointment, but then he heard Wuweizi continue, "But I can guarantee that what I teach him will be enough for him to dominate the world!"

Jiang You sneered, "He is the creator of corpses. He has millions of corpses under his command. He is already rampant in the area. Do you want to add to the saga?"

Wuweizi became a little anxious. He looked at the red figure in the door and simply moved closer to Jiang You and whispered.

"The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. It is hard to explain the matter of teaching and learning in a few words. Just look at my talisman, which can control wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and can make people as still as a mountain. Even this skill will be of great benefit to him if he learns it!"

Wuweizi is now like a sect elder who can see at a glance that a certain kid has the potential to be a genius and chases after him to persuade him to join the sect.

Thinking of the talisman, Jiang You's heart was shamelessly moved.

But Yan Chi had "grown up" after all, and she couldn't interfere in this matter. "I have no objection. If you can convince him, I fully support it, but there is one thing, you can't take him away.

Yan Chi is from Tingfeng City!"

Hearing this condition, Wuweizi was a little hesitant.

He was a bohemian and freedom-loving person all his life. Even after he accepted Sapindus as his apprentice, he still ran around everywhere.

I thought taking in an apprentice wouldn't change anything, it would just be one more person around me.

But Jiang You's tone at this time clearly wouldn't let him take the red-haired guy away.

That’s right. The Ten Thousand Mountains, where millions of zombies are stationed, would lose millions of powerful troops if they lost the zombie-maker.

Could it be that in order to accept a disciple, he would have to "marry into Longshan's family"?

The balance in Wuweizi's heart kept wavering, but in the end, his desire to be a disciple overcame his freedom.

He took a reluctant look at the vast sky, then rushed into the house with a look of grief and anger on his face.

But unexpectedly, Yan Chi was not interested at all. After listening to all the benefits he mentioned, he just uttered three words lightly.

"You—are—dreaming—"
