Chapter 2880: This is my junior martial brother's dao companion

After hearing Xu Jie's words, Bai Hua Xianzi and the several girls immediately became interested, after all, who wouldn't want this?

Looking at Xu Jie smiling before them, even someone with an Absolute Shadow nature couldn't help but praise him.

Still, you kid, your mind works fast.

Peak Master, you overpraise.

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie acted quite modest; if he couldn't handle it, he would have already taken the whole Black Mist Forest.

It's not that he can't eat it; but even if he can't, there's a way to not eat it—just use an entire sect to digest it.

Anyway, we're all our own people, why distinguish between yours and mine?

With these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, the strength of the Dao One Immortal Sect would definitely see a terrifying increase.

By then, even the Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace, top sects of the Immortal Realm, would probably have to weigh their options.

Upon hearing this news, the several girls naturally couldn't stay seated, and immediately planned to go to the Fire Room courtyard.

Never mind other things, first securing one's own Tree Ghost is the proper course.

Xu Jie didn't waste words; the group went overnight to the Canteen courtyard, and indeed there were no Heavenly Palace people around.

After all, the Heavenly Palace also fears them; to them, these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts are a hot potato.

Now that the people of the Dao One Immortal Sect are willing to take on this thankless task, they naturally welcome its success and wouldn't come to cause themselves trouble.

So, unnoticed by others, the group smoothly entered the courtyard.

Looking at the surrounding dense forest, Bai Hua Xianzi and the several girls sized it up, then asked.

How to operate?

Simple, Peak Master, you just need to select the Tree Ghost you fancy; it will then establish contact with you, after which you can communicate.

Xu Jie had already settled the previous matters; hearing this, Bai Hua Xianzi and the several girls nodded.

Afterward, they began selecting the Tree Ghosts they liked.

These Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest are neither many nor few; most look alike.

Of course, there are differences in strength, and the strength of a Tree Ghost is actually easy to discern.

The older the Tree Ghost, the stronger it is; outwardly, this shows as a thicker, larger trunk.

However, these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts now possess the ability to change their size, making it hard to judge just by that, since they can be big or small.

Besides that, it can still be judged from other aspects.

The longer they live, the more they naturally develop unique traits, which is normal.

Soon, Bai Hua Xianzi took a liking to a Tree Ghost, but after approaching and waiting a while, it showed no reaction, let alone establishing contact.

She turned her head, looking doubtfully at Xu Jie, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

You said there would be contact—why is there no movement at all?

Seeing this, Xu Jie already guessed—didn't take a liking to the Bai Hua Peak Master? Idiot, completely lacking any discernment.

Thinking this, Xu Jie couldn't help but curse silently, but on the surface he still chuckled and said.

Peak Master, wait a moment, I'll ask first.

He then communicated with that Tree Ghost through his own Tree Pet.

Tell that idiot, this is my junior martial brother's dao companion; following her, not to mention meals, even feasting every meal is no problem.

Huh???

Upon hearing that, not only that Tree Ghost, but even Xu Jie's own Tree Pet froze for a moment, then its thoughts raced.

Just that little thought of hers hadn't fully arisen when Xu Jie guessed it, and he immediately said coldly.

Don't entertain those thoughts; haven't you heard 'one day as master, lifelong as master'? Betraying one's master among the Human Race never ends well.

This damn thing still wants to betray its master—what a joke.

After Xu Jie said that, his Tree Pet indeed became obedient, swaying its branches twice in his palm, and at the same time transmitted in his mind.

How could that be.

Cut the nonsense, quickly pass the message.

Immediately, through his Tree Pet, Xu Jie also transmitted his consciousness to that Tree Ghost.

The Tree Ghost selected by Bai Hua Xianzi is indeed among the Black Mist Forest, with strength enough to rank in the top three.

Therefore, her standards are high, and she didn't take a liking to it.

But this was before knowing Bai Hua Xianzi's identity; upon learning that Bai Hua Xianzi is actually Ye Zhangqing's dao companion, the Tree Ghost's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

Instantly it established contact with Bai Hua Xianzi and, without a word, expressed willingness to submit.

Come on, Ye Zhangqing's dao companion—this isn't a matter of whether there's food to eat, but what to eat.

Not only it, but the other Tree Ghosts also showed an eager-to-try expression.

However, out of deference to this Tree Ghost's strength and prestige, they dared not act rashly.

Such a huge contrast left Bai Hua Xianzi stunned—are they really that enthusiastic?

Immediately, not knowing what Bai Hua Xianzi and that Tree Ghost discussed in private, but in the end both sides were obviously very satisfied.

The process for Bai Hua Xianzi and the several girls to subdue their Tree Pets was not difficult, and the Tree Pets they subdued are among the foremost in the Black Mist Forest.

Those Tree Ghosts that originally remained unmoved by Xu Jie, upon seeing the several girls, became total sycophants.

Entering the Black Mist Forest, it took no more than a Shíchén, and the several girls were done.

And with these Tree Pets, putting it bluntly, even if Palace Masters Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe came, they'd have to obediently kneel.

The Tree Pets of Bai Hua Xianzi and the several girls are all not inferior to the level of the Yanwu Clan Chief.

Having obtained their respective favored Tree Pets, the several girls left satisfied, while the trees in the courtyard also became noticeably sparser.

On the way back, Bai Hua Xianzi, in a good mood, rare as it was, said a line.

Xu San, you did well this time.

Thank you, Peak Master, for the praise.

There are still many tree ghosts below; what do you plan to do? As for the Heavenly Palace side…………………

Bai Hua Xianzi's meaning was clear to Xu Jie; he immediately laughed and said.

Peak Master, rest assured—fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields. I understand this matter; tomorrow I will find an opportunity and let all the senior brothers come to choose their own tree pets. As for the Heavenly Palace side, I have already arranged it; they will not discover it in the short term.

Then that's good; by the way, leave two plants for Senior Brother and your Shīzūn.

Peak Master, rest assured, that is necessary.

Xu Jie nodded firmly and said.

Actually, just now, Bai Hua Xianzi and the other girls also tried to subdue more tree ghosts, but like Xu Jie, they could not bear it.

Moreover, the tree ghosts the girls chose were inherently powerful, and the pressure was already great, making it even less possible.

One can only say that those who come from the Dao Yi Sect, from the Peak Master down to the disciples, all have the same personality.

Whenever they encounter something good, they invariably eat and take as much as they can; if they can't finish it, that's another matter.

Otherwise, those Black Mist Forest tree ghosts would not have been left for others; they would have long been digested internally by those few.

After personally sending Bai Hua Xianzi and the others outside the courtyard, Xu Jie then took his leave and departed.
