Chapter 1925 Taking Seeds And Talk About History

Elder Pear and Shuijing Mingzhu had no idea that in the couple of minutes they were thinking, Lin Mu and Xukong had an entire conversation.

As such, when Lin Mu spoke again they didn't find it strange.

"Elder Pear, can I take a Snow Gla.s.s Pear Tree or a sapling, perhaps?" Lin Mu questioned. "I want to raise one myself."

"Oh?" the Tree looked at Lin Mu while Shuijing Mingzhu tilted her head.

"You want to grow them, Daoist Mu Lin?" She asked.

"Yes." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Don't worry, I'll pay an appropriate price for it."

"Unless of course, there is a restriction on them and they are exclusive to the Serene Gla.s.s Valley." Lin Mu knew how seriously many powers would take their sources of wealth.

Lin Mu asking for the Snow Gla.s.s Pear Trees might be the same as a random person asking an inventor for the blueprints of their invention.

"It's not that, you can't take them." Shuijing Mingzhu replied. "In fact, the Imperial Court had asked to buy a few in the past as well. But the issue is they do not grow in other places well." She revealed.

"They don't?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

"Yes, Snow Gla.s.s Pear Trees need Light Elemental Qi to grow steadily and when you remove them from their place, they start withering. All the Snow Gla.s.s Pear Trees you see here are alive due to me.

My own existence was harsh in the past, as I barely had Light Elemental Qi to grow and it took me a long time to gather enough. It wasn't until the founders of the Serene Gla.s.s Valley arrived did it became better for me." Elder Pear revealed. "As such, even if you take a tree and try to transplant it, it will die.

Many have tried, even with some Light Elemental Qi sources, it has been impossible. As soon as you take out a tree, it will start withering."

Hearing that, Lin Mu understood that it was a difficult task. Even Elder Pear's original existence might have been due to luck.

"But If you still wish to, you can take some seeds." Elder Pear offered. "Maybe you'll be able to figure out some other way."

"Hmm that'll be good. The trees here won't be harmed either." Lin Mu nodded his head. "What do I need to pay for the seeds?" he asked next.

"Nothing." Shuijing Mingzhu replied. "You've already helped Great Grandfather enough. Plus, we offer the Snow Gla.s.s Pears to our guests as gifts anyways. The seeds are part of the fruit anyways, so you can take them as you wish." She stated.

"Oh I see, that's good." Lin Mu realized he was just thinking a little too much.

~Rustle~ Rustle~

"Here," The branches of Elder Pear moved, and a few fruits were lowered in front of Lin Mu. "They are fully ripe and the seeds are well developed too." He offered.

"Thank you, Elder Pear." Lin Mu replied, as he gently plucked the fruits and stored them away.

"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Elder Pear questioned.

"I do yes" Lin Mu said and asked about the history of the Rust Sky world.

It was something that Lin Mu had been wanting to know so that he could fill the gaps in his knowledge.

Shuijing Mingzhu was also curious and sat down to listen about it all as Lin Mu and Elder Pear got to talking. The two talked at length about various things that had happened in the past, from something as minor as what food was popular then and all the way to the wars that had been fought.

Elder Pear certainly knew a lot, but when it came to things over a hundred thousand years ago, even he was at a loss.

After all, even if the Tree had been alive back then, his sources of gaining information were limited. And even if he could, he at most knew what happened around him and not on the other continents. In fact, it wasn't until the establishment of the Serene Gla.s.s Valley that the Snow Gla.s.s Pear Tree started to get most of his information.

Lin Mu was a bit disappointed by it, as the history of the Haima tribe and wars of old were still missing.

He even asked about the Ancestral wors.h.i.+p temples, and the indigo colored being he had fought in the lesser void but got no answer. Elder Pear only told him that it might be related to the Demonic Tribes of the old times.

But there was one thing he told Lin Mu that made him alert.

"If you wish to know more about them though there is a place." Elder Pear suddenly said. "There is no guarantee, though."

"What place?" Lin Mu asked carefully.

"There is a site where the Demonic Tribes used to live An island that was considered their sanctuary for a while," Elder Pear answered. "But I do not know where it is other than the fact it is in the ocean somewhere between the Dao Wind Continent and the Holy Topaz continent."

"Hmm, that'll be difficult." Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

He knew how difficult it was to find some unknown island in the middle of an ocean.

"Indeed. And there isn't a high chance it still exists anymore. After all, it existed before my own birth. As such, it was most likely destroyed in the past during the wars as well." Elder Pear stated.

"Still, thank you for the information Elder Pear. It has really helped me," Lin Mu said with grat.i.tude. "I'll let you rest now and take my leave."

"It was nice talking to you. I got to reminisce some memories again." Elder Pear said with a smile before his face disappeared.

It was clear that the tree had gone back to sleep again.

"Do you want to go back, Daoist Mu Lin?" Shuijing Mingzhu asked.

"Yeah, let's head back now." Lin Mu nodded his head and the two flew back to the Shuijing Clan.
