Chapter 678 Monkey's New Job
In fact, for all the cultivators in the world, the most ruthless thing is always the careless passing of time.
It seems that it will not cause direct harm, but when you look back suddenly, you will find that you have already become a pile of yellow earth.
Unless you can step into the realm of immortals and completely shed this mortal body.
But even if you are a genius, after wasting hundreds of thousands of years, there are actually very few creatures who can finally step into the realm of immortals, and they can be counted.
In the battle of the great way, countless creatures have come one after another, but in the end, only a few people can barely walk across the single-plank bridge and reach the other side.
From the birth of the immortal realm to the present, it has experienced thousands of small eras and dozens of big eras, but not counting the immortal kings, how many creatures have reached the realm of immortals?
Jiang Huai once sensed that it was still less than three thousand.
At first glance, it may sound like there are quite a lot, but you have to know how big the area of the fairyland is. Even for the fairy king who has ascended the throne, it takes a lot of time to cross the fairyland, not to mention other people. In this almost boundless territory, the number of creatures born outside the fairyland is simply unimaginable, and it is simply as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river.
But no matter how the world changes, no matter where it is, the general public will always be ranked first, and there will always be so many immortals.
If you think about it this way, the value of the ginseng fruit tree seems to be more important.
And the reason why Jiang Huai values the ginseng fruit tree so much and takes it out of a pile of rare items is actually related to the reincarnation of the underworld he created.
What is the reason for his creation of reincarnation?
Isn't it just to let the dead souls in this world have a way home? No longer wandering in the world, becoming the dead souls who are muddleheaded and never see the light of day.
Isn't it just to let the most sincere thoughts in the world be fulfilled?
Let regrets be made up.
Let memories be relived,
Let thoughts be obtained.
And Jiang Huai had a strong feeling that this ginseng fruit tree might also play an important role in this.
While thinking like this, he had already made some calculations in his mind, but he still needed to wait until the future to test them one by one.
…
…
The night fell, like a splash-ink landscape painting slowly unfolding, with stars dotted in between, like candles flickering in an ancient temple.
The distant mountains were like dark blue, connected to the sky, and looked even more vast against the backdrop of the night.
In the sky, the bright moon hung high above it like a round disk, emitting bright and bright light.
For the sake of caution.
Jiang Huai did not rush to plant the ginseng fruit tree immediately when the moon was full,
but waited until the moon was completely full before taking out the ginseng fruit tree seeds, and then carefully planted them next to the world tree.
As soon as the little guy, like a potted plant, entered the soil, it seemed to have life in an instant and took root in it.
Jiang Huai could sense it.
The roots of this ginseng fruit tree spread out at least tens of thousands of meters in an instant. As the roots were entangled, the thick and hard soil layer was also wriggling, pushing the roots of the ginseng fruit tree deeper and farther.
The longest main root had even been entangled with the roots of the world tree.
The leaves on the world tree swayed slightly, and the branches swayed, making a rustling sound. It seemed that countless epochs disappeared between the shaking and the shaking.
The world tree did not reject the small movements of the ginseng fruit tree.
It is not that the world cannot sense it.
Although it is extremely difficult for this kind of spiritual plant, which can be regarded as the supreme existence, to transform into a human, it is very fast. As long as it breaks out of the soil from the seed, it can instantly possess wisdom that is not inferior to that of the human race.
But he still let the roots of the ginseng fruit tree entangle with himself, mainly because the rarity of the ginseng fruit tree is also not low, and it is a rare treasure plant in the world.
The ginseng fruit tree thrives under the shade of the world tree, and at the same time, the world tree can also use the laws in the ginseng fruit tree to accelerate its growth, perfect its own laws of the great way, and make the condensed universe more unbreakable and higher-level.
This co-planting is beneficial to both parties.
As the ginseng fruit tree is completely planted in the soil, an invisible ripple wave spreads instantly with it as the center like a wave.
Next, he doesn't need to manage it, just wait slowly.
When the time comes, the ginseng fruit tree will naturally grow into a mature tree, and then he can harvest a full three thousand ginseng fruits.
Eating one can increase the lifespan by 47,000 years. Even if you can only eat ten, it is 470,000 years. Some leaders can't live for such a long time, which can be regarded as a great change.
The most important thing is that the life-extending effect of ginseng fruit is not divided by realm. As long as you haven't become an immortal, even if you have reached the supreme peak of life, you will have the same effect.
Jiang Huai took his eyes off the ginseng fruit tree that was slightly glowing with light. He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but smile knowingly: "We can let that monkey come and watch it."
This is not a bad taste.
Spiritual plants like ginseng fruit trees have extraordinary spirituality. If they are taken care of, the caretaker can also make considerable progress when they become trees.
Thinking of this, Jiang Huai's figure flashed, and the breeze blew on his face, turning into invisible waves, and he came directly to a giant peak.
There were all kinds of magnificent buildings on the big peak, with buildings scattered in an orderly manner, flying eaves and corners, carved beams and painted buildings. It was the Imperial Horse Guard where the stone monkey that jumped out of Nuwa's sky-repairing stone was located.
When Jiang Huai arrived here, the stone monkey was busy shoveling shit and cleaning the feed trough in the stable as usual.
He was very serious.
In Journey to the West, when the monkey was first appointed as Bi Ma Wen, he also took good care of the heavenly horses and made them fat and strong, completely changing his skinny appearance in the past.
To be honest, if the Jade Emperor treated the monkey better and raised his status, I'm afraid there would not be the subsequent havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
Jiang Huai stood not far away and watched the busy figure of the stone monkey for a while before speaking. "Well done, you have managed this place in an orderly manner."
Although the voice was light, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of the stone monkey.
The stone monkey paused, then showed a happy expression, his ears moved slightly, and he quickly put down the shovel in his hand, jumped up, and came to Jiang Huai, bowing and saying: "Hello, sir."
Jiang Huai smiled faintly, touched the monkey's head affectionately, then pointed to the distance and said: "Do you see that tree?"
The stone monkey looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the world tree standing there, with lush branches and leaves, a canopy, emitting a faint light, looking sacred and solemn.
"I see it." The monkey nodded immediately and said quickly: "Sir, you said before that it is the world tree, a unique treasure tree in the world."
"No, no, no, I'm asking you if you see the seedling next to the world tree?" Jiang Huai smiled and shook his head.
】
"Seedling?" The monkey was stunned, and then opened his eyes wide.
Two dazzling golden lights suddenly shot out from the monkey's eyes, like golden thunder through the mountains and peaks.
Looking carefully, I found that there was actually a seedling next to the World Tree.
The seedling was only a foot tall, with green branches and leaves, and a faint fragrance, but the branches and twigs were particularly strong, not like a seedling at all.
Although it was far less tall and mighty than the World Tree, it also had an indescribable charm.
"This is..." The monkey scratched his head, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember what it was.
Of course, in its opinion, the spiritual plants in this world actually look similar at first glance, and there is no big difference at all.
Jiang Huai smiled slightly and said, "This is a ginseng fruit tree, an extremely precious spiritual tree. Its fruit can increase lifespan. For those who cannot live forever, it has great benefits, but it takes 100,000 years to grow into a tree, and then another 9,000 years to bear fruit."
"So... the adults hope that I can help take care of this ginseng fruit tree and ensure that it matures smoothly." Jiang Huai didn't need to speak at all, the stone monkey had already reacted.
Oh, he can answer quickly.
No wonder people say that humans evolved from apes.
Jiang Huai's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said, "If you are willing, I can let you guard this tree. You only need to take care of it once or twice a day, and you will get great benefits. This is my promise to you."
The stone monkey heard this and said respectfully without thinking, "Thank you for your support, I am willing to protect this tree."
Jiang Huai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you go, you will have your own benefits in the future."
The stone monkey bowed and left, but he was very excited.
In the following days, in addition to taking care of the Pegasus in the Imperial Horse Administration, the monkey would take time to come and see the ginseng fruit tree at other times.
Every day, he would carefully water, fertilize, and weed.
These steps are of course unnecessary in Jiang Huai's view, because the ginseng fruit tree is a rare spiritual plant in the world. How could it be due to lack of water and drought, or at least disease and insect pests. However, the monkey's doing this would not affect anything, so Jiang Huai let the monkey go, after all, it would make the monkey look diligent.
Time passed day by day.
It was quite fulfilling.
From here, nearly a thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.
During this nearly thousand years, Jiang Huai opened a lot of dragon eggs, and his luck was finally a little better, and he opened a mythical dragon egg.
But the hatching method of this mythical dragon egg was a bit weird.
He needed to silently recite the dragon egg, dragon egg, sesame, open the door to the dragon egg every day, and it had to be at noon, for a total of 9981 days, not a day more, not a day less.
Of course, it was a bit troublesome, but for Jiang Huai, this hatching method was undoubtedly the most labor-saving and least difficult, and it was nothing more than moving his lips.
Although it was a bit weird, he still liked this hatching method the most. In this day and age, if it was a little troublesome to succeed, it would not be a big deal.
Unlike the Chaos-level dragon egg that he still treasured in his hand.
The hatching method was simply outrageous to the extreme, and it actually required killing a creature that had reached the realm of sacrifice, and then taking the heart blood.
Not to mention the sacrifice, even if the emperor cultivators of the same realm want to completely suppress and kill, it will take a lot of effort. For example, the emperor Huang Tian is even more abnormal. He can exist in any time and space, at any stage, and anyone can be him. He can be anyone. It is impossible to kill them all.
There is only a dragon egg of the highest level, but the hatching date is still far away.
In addition to shaking his head, Jiang Huai no longer thinks about these meaningless things, and concentrates on looking at the dragon egg in front of him, which is more than one person tall and full of five clouds.
Then he spoke softly in an unusually gentle tone: "Dragon egg, dragon egg, open sesame..."
Soon, the 81st day arrived on time.
When midnight of the 81st day passed, accompanied by a little light rain falling from the sky, a crack suddenly appeared in the legendary dragon egg.
Then, it instantly turned into a stream of light and poured into Jiang Huai's body.
A voice that made him feel unusually kind rang in his ears:
"Congratulations, your mythical dragon egg has been successfully hatched."
The rewards for mythical dragon eggs are as follows:
Mysterious Ice Spirit Pearls (300), Luo Snake Ancient Scales (30), Fire Phoenix Blazing Feathers (60), Superior Fairy Spirit Liquid (several), Black Turtle Secret Armor (one set), Asking for the Divine Bamboo (rare item), Taichu Qingqi (rare item), Eight Extremes Mysterious Monument (rare item).

When all the opportunities are harvested, the Baji secret realm will turn into an ordinary different world, which can be a place for imprisonment. Unless the owner agrees, he will never be able to escape.
Jiang Huai quickly browsed through all the rewards.
Even though he has opened thousands of dragon eggs, he can't help but get excited every time he reaches this stage.
It feels like opening a blind box.
You never know what's inside.
Especially for the rare dragon eggs.
