With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 69 Sprout
Once the elf girl and her companion were out of earshot of Lin Fan's group, the little sister who had her cloak covering her the entire time also took it off to reveal that she was also an elf.
The little sister immediately stopped Flora and asked, "Big sister, why did you reveal yourself like that? Also, why did you give him our sacred treasure?!"
Flora looked at her little sister and said, "There's something special about him."
The little sister was surprised by this answer and then quickly asked in an anxious voice, "Big sister, could it be that you've fallen for him? You can't do that! You are our goddess' priest, he's not someone that can even come close to matching you!"
Flora shook her head with a smile when she heard this and said, "No, I haven't fallen in love with him, or at least not yet. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't interested in him…"
As her voice trailed off, the little sister immediately tried to convince her otherwise again, but Flora raised her hand to cut her off.
Flora revealed a serious look before saying, "There was the aura of the goddess coming from him."
The little sister once again revealed a shocked look before quickly saying, "The aura of the goddess? How could it come from a lowly human like him? He's so weak, so how could he have anything to do with the goddess? Also, why didn't I feel that aura of the goddess from him?"
Flora shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I'm certain that it was the aura of the goddess." Then after a pause, she said with a smile, "As for why you couldn't feel it, you should know better than me." She tapped her little sister on the head before saying, "That's what you get for skipping out on training all those times."
The little sister revealed an awkward look before saying, "But big sister, if you give him all of that, are you not afraid that he'll tell the sects about you?" After revealing a pensive look, she continued, "We've snuck into the cultivation realm this time, so the sects don't know that we're here. However, if they find us…"
Flora patted her head and said in a comforting voice, "Relax, there's no way that he'll tell the sects about us since he's not connected to the sects."
The little sister revealed a confused look, "What do you mean?"
Flora said with a confident smile, "The energy that he released was different from the energy of the sect cultivators. It's clear that he has a different cultivation technique, so he shouldn't be from the sects. Rather he should be a rogue cultivator."
The little sister was clearly about to say something else, but Flora raised her hand to cut her off before saying, "Enough, let's not talk about him anymore. Remember what we came here to do."
The little sister's expression sank before asking, "Big sister, are you sure that the information is correct?"
Flora gave a nod and said, "It's definitely correct. The aura of the goddess appeared near the place that we're heading to, so we have to find it."
The little sister then revealed the same worried look from before as she said, "But, if we could feel it, the sects…"
Flora gave a nod again and said, "It's fine. As long as we're careful, they won't be able to find us…"
The little sister didn't say anything else, but it was clear that she was still worried.
But neither of them said anything else as they put their cloaks back on and headed back to the caravan.
…
Back on Lin Fan's side, after taking a long time to come back to his senses, the first thing that he did was put the World Tree Leaf into the Pet Storage Space.
He didn't know what kind of energy the World Tree Leaf released, but it definitely wasn't a good idea to leave it out in the open like this. After all, if people sensed the energy that it released, they would definitely be attracted to see what it was.
Not just people, but also animals as well.
He could even feel the aura of a few spirit beasts in the area around him.
After putting it away, he gave a clap to pull Xiao Yue and Lala out of their daze and had them take care of the spirit beasts in the area.
If they just left them, it would not only be dangerous for them, but also dangerous for the caravan.
While he was certain that Flora's group would be able to take care of themselves, he could also tell that they were trying to hide their identity. Since it was easy for him to take care of these spirit beasts, then there was no harm in helping them.
After all, she was someone he still couldn't see through.
While he wasn't certain how strong she was because of her restrained aura, the strange feeling he felt coming from her told him that she definitely wasn't weak.
It was best for him to befriend them if he could…
Not to mention that they were the elves that he had been waiting to meet!
After they took care of the spirit beasts that had gathered, Lin Fan's group headed back to the caravan after stuffing the spirit beast corpses into the Pet Storage Space.
When they came back, they found that Flora and the other cloaked figure were already back in the carriage and it was clear they didn't want to talk anymore.
So Lin Fan just dealt with the leader of the caravan. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶
After confirming with Lin Fan that he didn't want any rewards for saving them, the caravan leader burst out in tears of joy. He showered all kinds of flattery onto Lin Fan, most of which he clearly didn't mean, but Lin Fan didn't call him out in it.
Of course the caravan didn't stay long after that. They left soon after, first out of fear that Lin Fan would change his mind and second, because they wanted to reach their destination as soon as possible to minimize their losses.
As the caravan drove off, Lin Fan saw Flora waving to him out of the back of the carriage and he waved back at her.
When the caravan finally disappeared from sight, Lin Fan and the girls went into the Pet Storage Space, but they were greeted with a surprise.
Lin Fan had come into the Pet Storage Space to check the World Tree Leaf, but when he came in, he found that it was gone.
Well, it wasn't gone gone, but it had changed forms into something else.
Instead of remaining as a leaf, the leaf was now halfway into the ground and had already changed into a sprout.
However, not only had it changed into a sprout, it was also releasing an energy from it that made one feel refreshed.
If Lin Fan had to guess what this was, his guess would be that this pure life energy that this sapling was releasing. But if that was the case, then didn't that mean that he had already cultivated a World Tree sapling?
What kind of concept was that?
Even if Lin Fan wasn't certain what the situation with the World Tree was in this world, he was certain that it wouldn't have a low status.
Lin Fan was correct in that thought.
The World Tree was the sacred tree of the elves because there was only one such tree.
However, it wasn't that only a single one of these trees could exist in this world, but rather the World Tree had a very strict requirement for being able to grow. It required a large amount of life energy to support its growth. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
In the long run, the amount of life energy released by the World Tree far surpassed the life energy that it took to grow it, but this high threshold made it hard for the World Tree to grow in the first place.
The elves had only ever found a single place that had enough life energy to grow this World Tree, which was why they fiercely defended it.
But now Lin Fan had been able to make another World Tree sprout…
If the elves were to learn about this, there was no doubt that they would spare no effort to secure this World Tree sprout. Or rather, they would spare no effort in capturing Lin Fan whose Pet Storage Space seemed to be key in making this World Tree Leaf sprout.
It was just too bad that they didn't know about this and Lin Fan definitely wasn't planning on letting anyone find out about this.
As he stared at the World Tree sprout, he couldn't help slapping his hand to his face and shaking his head as he gave a sigh.
All he wanted was a peaceful life, but there were all kinds of things happening to him that he had to deal with…It was almost like he was a protagonist in some kind of novel…
But after thinking for a bit, Lin Fan suddenly realized something.
If the World Tree Leaf could grow in here, then perhaps other plants could also grow in here?
Looking around at all the empty space that he had in this Pet Storage Space, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking that he had plenty of room to grow these plants if he wanted.
His pets and the stuff that he stored in the Pet Storage Space only took up less than one twentieth of the entire space, so there was all this unused space in here.
Lin Fan made up his mind, he would get some herb seeds to plant in here and see how it went.
