Chapter 618 New companions for the sycamore tree

The clone also seemed to have experienced a transformation as her body seemed more lively with a jade-like complexion. Meifeng now had a sort of gentleness to her beauty.

"Thank you, Yang Qing.." Meifeng said with a heartfelt bow.

She could feel how enormous the changes in her body were. Her vitality seemed to have experienced an enormous boost, and her ability to absorb and refine the yin energy from the pond below seemed to have been improved.

Her mental sea of consciousness seemed to have grown in size and when it came to her clone she felt she had an improved level of control on it. Her clone always felt like something she controlled with puppet strings and it always put a strain on her to do intricate things with it, but now she felt she could control it with much more ease just like her spores.

"Th.a..nk you, truly.." she added with chalked-up emotions.

She was unable to hold back her tears. When the day started she never expected it to end up this way. She expected it to go as it always had which was with her wallowing in loneliness and nostalgia of the days past, dreading the passing of time.

But today she laughed, she talked, she ate, she drank, she had company over, and now she even experienced a monumental change in her life.

Her dream of exploring outside of the sphere of her spores wasn't an impossibility now. She could visit adler, and maybe they could even go on an adventure like the ones Lady Gild always told them, and all this was thanks to the green-haired youth before him and the mysterious middle-aged man.

"You're welcome.." softly said Yang Qing as brought over their wine cups.

He poured the last of the remaining frostberry wine into the two cups.

"You're about to leave?" asked Meifeng with a melancholic smile.

"I am.." 

"Will you visit again?" Meifeng asked with hopeful eyes.

"Yes, I will.."

Meifeng's eyes instantly lit up with joy however Yang Qing's next words instantly drowned them.

"But it will only be for a month because after that I will have to leave.." said Yang Qing with a sigh when he saw her despondent look.

"Can't you stay?"

"I can't, but if I get the time, I will definitely pass by. Also, I have a few friends, they can keep you company when I am not around..."

When he was conversing with her he suddenly remembered those creatures at the territory of the Clear Sword River Sect that experienced a transformation thanks to the sudden resonance he had with the area prompting some of them to experience evolutions.

If he let them be, they would be taken by someone in his absence as they were currently too weak to defend themselves, but with the parasitic purple flower spore sycamore tree's help, Yang Qing wouldn't have to worry too much about them.

"What friends?"

After experiencing the joys of company, Meifeng wasn't too eager to go to her old lifestyle of solitude. She was willing to entertain even strangers despite her wary personality and meekness.

Yang Qing went on to explain about the creatures that had evolved from being soaked in his universal spiritual qi.

Of the evolved creatures, he already had an idea of which ones he would bring over. The moth with crystal clear wings that had a crescent moon symbol on each wing was a must. The moth had a gentle yin energy and would profit immensely if it stayed here where the yin energy was so dense.

It also had the effect of purifying and strengthening one's soul which would benefit the sycamore tree.

The other two he would bring over would be the beetle with a diamond carapace that had immense speed and sensitivity to magnetic fluctuations and miasma levels. 

The parasitic purple flower spore sycamore tree had a weak main body, but if the beetle grew strong enough, it could help her address that problem.

The last creature to bring would be the skylark whose melodious tune created the image of a river that has spirit calming properties and can increase the duration of one's meditation.

The sycamore tree and the skylark would benefit immensely from each other considering they both specialized in vivid illusions.

The ones he would leave out were the oak tree whose leaves produced green-blue dew that replenished and revitalized the body and spiritual qi, the azalea surrounded by aurora lights which increases the purity of the spiritual qi of an area, the sparrow with gold orange feathers that had a restraining effect on corpse related malevolent energies like corpse qi and miasma, and lastly the firefly with a verdant green light that had the aura of vitality which boosted the growth of the plants around it.

Of the four, the oak tree and the azalea couldn't be moved, while the sparrow had a yang nature that wouldn't blend well with the conditions of the cavern that was rich in yin energy as for the firefly he intended to let it be there and see what happens, eventually, he would maybe give it to Ma Yuan when he went to the Summerfield kingdom.

Meifeng's sour mood instantly improved as she tried to squeeze every single detail about her new companions from Yang Qing with glittering eyes.

Even when the time for Yang Qing to leave came, she wasn't as low as she should have been. In part, it was because of the excitement of having new companions and the other was because Yang Qing promised to come over the next day and every day after that until his month as branch chief was over.

The instant he left the cavern, he was met by a worried-looking Yen Xu and a man who looked to be in his early forties and had black robes with a red claw symbol on the sleeves.

"Where have you been?" asked Yen Xu as she hurriedly scanned Yang Qing's body all over.
