Is there no future for a female immortal? I rely on farming to achieve immortality.

Chapter 423 Agreeing to Treat the Soul-Nourishing Tree

Bai Wuxiang couldn't care less at this moment; his gaze towards Su Yang became even more urgent.

Having stayed in Naihe City for so long, he certainly didn't want Naihe City to be completely destroyed because of the disappearance of the Soul Nourishing Tree!

Since Lord Shuang said that this female cultivator named Su Yang, who is suspected to be a ferryman, has a chance to revive the Soul Nourishing Tree, let's give it a try!

******

By the time Su Yang realized what was happening, she had already returned to the Ghost Tower.

Su Yang's eyes were somewhat confused.

How did she end up here again...?

What nonsense is Bai Wuxiang spouting? The Soul-Nourishing Tree?

Wasn't the Soul-Nourishing Tree already dead?

Let her save him? What could she possibly save?

Just as Su Yang was feeling confused, Shuang Meiniang appeared.

When she saw Su Yang, her eyes sparkled, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Su Yang, you've arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long..."

Su Yang: “???”

Didn't she just leave the underworld yesterday?

Su Yang was a little confused...

Seeing Su Yang's puzzled look, Shuang Meiniang gently smiled and then extended a hand.

With her palm facing up, a gradually transparent bud appeared on her hand.

The transparent bud was very unstable, as if it would collapse at any moment.

When Su Yang saw the tree bud that had inexplicably appeared in Shuang Meiniang's hand, her pupils widened, and her eyes were filled with shock.

"Lord Shuang...this is...this is the Soul Nourishing Tree?"

"Didn't you say the Soul-Nourishing Tree had disappeared? How could it have survived?"

Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Shuang Meiniang's eyes.

"That's a question for you to answer..."

"After I took you, who was unconscious, away from the Ghost Tower, the Soul Nourishing Tree, which should have fallen into the cycle of reincarnation and died, inexplicably survived from that black hole full of reincarnation power."

"After much contemplation, I believe that only you could have done something to allow the Soul-Nourishing Tree to survive from that black hole."

Su Yang touched her nose. "My lord... do you think I'm the one who kept the Soul-Nourishing Tree alive?"

"How could I possibly possess such abilities? As you know, I'm merely a minor cultivator who hasn't even reached the Immortal Realm..."

Shuang Meiniang: "Before, inside the Ghost Tower, it was just the two of us. I didn't do anything to the Soul Nourishing Tree, nor could I do anything."

"Then it can only be you..."

“You were unconscious at the time, but you were still merging your soul with the Sun God Fire and the Manjusaka Twin Flowers.”

Su Yang frowned slightly after hearing this.

She looked at Shuang Meiniang's hopeful gaze and sighed helplessly.

Is Shuang Meiniang placing all her hopes for reviving the Soul-Nourishing Tree on her?

Even if it was because of her that the Soul-Nourishing Tree was able to survive the black hole filled with the power of reincarnation, she still didn't know why...

"Su Yang, if you can really revive the Soul-Nourishing Tree, you can make any request within my power."

"The Soul-Nourishing Tree is truly important to my Naihe City. As the Lord of the Underworld of Naihe City, I formally request that you save the Soul-Nourishing Tree."

Su Yang paused, looking at Shuang Meiniang's eager expression, and hesitated.

Finally, Su Yang sighed softly.

She pressed her thin lips together, and after a long while spoke:

"I can promise Lord Shuang, but I can't guarantee whether I can ultimately revive the Soul-Nourishing Tree."

"I can only try. If it doesn't work, please don't make things difficult for me, Lady Shuang."

"After all, I'm just a lowly cultivator who hasn't even reached the Immortal Realm..."

Su Yang said in a very tactful tone.

Shuang Meiniang naturally knew that she couldn't push Su Yang too hard on this matter.

After receiving Su Yang's reply, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Then it's settled!"

"I am already very satisfied that you are willing to treat the Soul-Nourishing Tree. As for whether the Soul-Nourishing Tree can be saved, that depends on its fate."

"At worst, Xingluo Island will no longer have Naihe City."

Shuang Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief. She decreed that from now on, Su Yang would be the most honored person in their Naihe City Underworld besides herself, and no ghost servant in the Underworld was allowed to disrespect Su Yang.

Afterwards, she granted Su Yang permission to move freely in the Underworld, and then disappeared.

Following closely behind was a large group of ghost messengers, including Bai Wuxiang, behind Shuang Meiniang.

They also immediately disappeared inside the Ghost Tower.

At this moment, besides Su Yang, the only other thing inside the Ghost Tower was the transparent Soul Nourishing Tree bud floating in the air in front of her.

It was her request to Shuang Meiniang that during the time she was healing the Soul-Nourishing Tree, no one else could exist in the Ghostly Tower except for her.

Shuang Meiniang understood that Su Yang must have had her own secret methods to agree to heal the Soul-Nourishing Tree, and she naturally didn't want the people of the Underworld to know about them.

Saving the Soul-Nourishing Tree is the most urgent task now, and Shuang Meiniang agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Even after all the ghost messengers had left, Su Yang remained vigilant.

From her body flew out one after another spirit insects that shimmered with silver light.

Centered on Su Yang, the silver soul insects launched a thorough search of every corner inside the Ghost Tower.

A quarter of an hour later, a silver soul insect landed on her shoulder, and Su Yang opened her eyes, a sharp glint in them.

After confirming that there were no other hidden devices monitoring her inside the Ghost Tower, Su Yang took out a small porcelain bottle.

Su Yang opened the small porcelain bottle, and inside, the essence that Su Yang had not yet used on the Soul Nourishing Tree was flowing.

Su Yang shook the liquid in the porcelain bottle, touched her chin, and raised her eyebrows.

"It seems this Soul-Nourishing Tree is destined to absorb the essence I've gathered..."

"I wonder if my essence will actually work on the Soul-Nourishing Tree..."

Su Yang shook her head. "You'll know once you try it."

Then, Su Yang casually poured the essence, which was shimmering with green spiritual light, from the porcelain bottle onto the bud of the Soul Nourishing Tree in front of her.

This drop of essence was quickly absorbed by the Soul Nourishing Tree.

Not a single grain was left.

Su Yang stared intently at the buds of the Soul-Nourishing Tree in front of her, her face full of doubt.

"You absorbed my essence, so why don't you give me some response?!"

The buds of this Soul-Nourishing Tree are still in an unstable state, looking like they could collapse at any moment.

But Su Yang also witnessed it firsthand; the buds of the Soul-Nourishing Tree did indeed absorb her essence very quickly.

"Could it be that the essence I've gathered isn't enough?"

Su Yang thought about it for a long time before making the decision.

"Looks like we need to gather more essence..."

"However, condensing the essence takes a lot of my energy..."

Then, Su Yang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, smiled gently, and a cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

"Of course, the Underworld should return all the time and effort I've wasted..."

Thinking of this, Su Yang immediately walked out of the Ghost Tower and freely roamed the underworld filled with powerful ghost messengers.

Moreover, all the ghost messengers who saw Su Yang, even those who were incredibly powerful, still bowed respectfully to her.

Seeing this, Su Yang felt relieved.

This is exactly what she wanted...

One's strength reaches the pinnacle of the world, earning the admiration and respect of thousands.

But now, instead of improving her strength, she is respected by so many ghost messengers.

Su Yang felt a surge of joy in her heart.

There was no other reason than that Shuang Meiniang had given the order beforehand.

Within the City of Helplessness, apart from her, the Lord of the Underworld, all the ghost messengers of the Underworld must treat Su Yang with utmost respect! No one is allowed to be rude!

Su Yang walked through the underworld as if no one else was there.

As she walked, she asked the ghost messengers on duty along the way.

"Excuse me, sir, could you tell me where Lord Bai Wuxiang is right now?"

The little ghost was dozing off when a light, pleasant voice suddenly rang out from behind him, startling him.

"Huh? Who is it?!"

When he turned around and saw Su Yang's figure, he quickly took a few steps back.

"Lord Su...Lord Su?!"

"Lord Su...Lord Shuang previously instructed that, apart from her, you are the most honored person in our Underworld."

"If Lady Frost finds out that you address me as 'Sir,' I will be severely punished... Please don't be so rude..."

The young ghost wiped the cold sweat that hadn't even appeared on his forehead.

Don't let the fact that Lady Shuang is a woman fool you; she's usually very kind and always has a smile on her face.

However, she was decisive and efficient in her work, and she demanded that they complete her orders 100%.

Shuang Meiniang once said that Su Yang was the second most important person in their Underworld, and that meant she was the second most important person. No one could surpass her, not even Bai Wuxiang, the confidant of Lord Shuang.

"Please feel free to speak your mind. I will tell you everything I know... You can just call me Xiao Liu."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang raised an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"So... Xiao Liu?"

"Lord Su, I'm here."

"Take me to where Bai Wuxiang is. I need to talk to him."

The ghost messenger named Xiao Liu dared not refuse in the slightest and respectfully led Su Yang to the location of Bai Wuxiang.

Soon, Xiao Liu led Su Yang to a grand hall.

Inside the main hall, a ghostly light flickered, the atmosphere was extremely dark, and an eerie aura permeated the space.

On the high platform, Bai Wuxiang sat.

He scratched his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath.

"I think Lord Shuang is pinning all his hopes on a lower-level cultivator who hasn't even reached the Immortal Realm because he's run out of options," Bai Wuxiang muttered, pursing his lips.

Moreover, Bai Wuxiang could vaguely sense that this female cultivator from the lower realm named Su Yang was still far from reaching the Mahayana stage of the Immortal Realm.

How could she possibly revive the Soul-Nourishing Tree?!

"Fortunately, Lord Shuang made double preparations, sending Xia Yu and the others to Thunderclap Canyon to obtain Thunder Spirit Liquid. I just don't know if Xia Yu and the other two lower realm cultivators can make it deep into Thunderclap Canyon..."

Just then, Xiao Liu and Su Yang appeared right in front of Bai Wuxiang.

Su Yang looked at Bai Wuxiang with a smile and said, "Lord Bai, what is this Thunder Pool Divine Liquid you just mentioned? Why did Lord Shuang ask Senior Xia Yu and Senior Wanfa to fetch it?"

After she finished speaking, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

Bai Wuxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.

He ignored Su Yang's question and turned to look at Xiao Liu beside him.

"Xiao Liu! Why did you bring Su Yang here without telling me?! Don't you know I'm working?!"

Xiao Liu looked bewildered. "Lord Bai, didn't Lady Shuang say that she's the most powerful person in the Underworld, and Lady Su Yang is the second most powerful? She asked me to bring her here, and I dared not disobey..."

Bai Wuxiang was furious, his finger trembling as he pointed at Xiao Liu, "You!"

"Lord Bai Wuxiang hasn't answered me yet. What is this Thunder Spirit Liquid you just mentioned? Why did Lady Shuang send my two seniors to retrieve it? Why didn't she go herself?"

Bai Wuxiang's eyes darted around, and he coughed lightly.

"Why do you care about all this? Just focus on saving your Soul-Nourishing Tree."

Su Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, "If Lord Bai doesn't tell me, I'll go directly to Lord Shuang."

"I'm sure Lady Shuang will tell me too. I'll then tell her what you just said to me. I wonder what she'll do then?"

"Cough cough cough... Cricket... Cricket you? When did I cricket you?"

Su Yang's eyes sharpened, and she sneered, "Whether you've cricketed at me or not, you know the answer in your heart."

"I was invited by Lord Frost to heal the Soul-Nourishing Tree. If I quit in a fit of anger, let's see what Lord Frost will do!"

Bai Wuxiang: "You dare!"

"How do you know if I dare? You can try!"

This is Xingluo Island, and Su Yang is not afraid of Bai Wuxiang!

Moreover, Shuang Meiniang also needs her help.

Shuang Meiniang knew perfectly well which was more important, the Soul-Nourishing Tree or Bai Wuxiang.

Seeing Su Yang's serious expression, Bai Wuxiang moved his lips, and finally said in a deep voice:

"Thunder Spirit Liquid is a liquid that appears in the area near the outer edge of the core area of ​​Thunder Canyon. It contains the essence of thunder brewing. Any living being that absorbs Thunder Spirit Liquid will benefit from it to some extent."

"Even we ghost cultivators, who are most afraid of heavenly lightning, and those evil cultivators who commit all kinds of evil and are despised and cursed by the Heavenly Dao, can still gain some benefits."

"Lord Shuang speculated that the Thunder Pool Divine Liquid could be of some use in the recovery of the Soul Nourishing Tree, so he sent Xia Yu and Wan Fa to help retrieve it from the Thunder Valley."

Su Yang frowned slightly after hearing this.

The infamous Thunder Canyon was known throughout Star Luo Island, and even though she had never actually witnessed it, she knew how dangerous it was.

Shuang Meiniang, being a Ghost Lord, must have a cultivation level beyond the Immortal Realm. Moreover, with so many Ghost Messengers in the Underworld who have reached the Immortal Realm, why would they send Xia Yu and Wan Fa, two cultivators who haven't even reached the Mahayana stage, to retrieve the Thunder Spirit Liquid for them?

Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?

Bai Wuxiang also noticed the doubt in Su Yang's heart.

"Su Yang, you don't know this, but ordinary lightning can be withstood by some of us ghost cultivators with high cultivation levels. However, the lightning in the Heavenly Thunder Canyon contains the laws of heaven!"

"Our ghost cultivator lineage's tribulation of lightning upon breaking through is comparable to the tribulation of lightning for evil cultivators among you. Every time we face the heavenly lightning, it's a matter of life and death."

"Thunder Canyon is a dangerous place for you cultivators, but it's a forbidden area for us ghost cultivators!"
