Chapter 21 The Ancient Blue Silver Tree, Little Blue
Without hesitation, Butler Chen stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Qiyue: "Young Master, my life was given to me by Master and Madam. Now that Master and Madam are gone, I must take even better care of you. Whatever you do, I will support you and will never say a word. I... am willing to stay!"
His voice, though aged, was filled with unwavering resolve.
The Lin family had been incredibly kind to him, and he had long regarded this place as his own home and Lin Qiyue as his little master.
A hint of warmth flashed in Lin Qiyue's eyes as she nodded. "Alright, Uncle Chen, then I'll trouble you. The matter of dismissing the others is your responsibility. Make sure it's handled properly, providing ample compensation so they have no complaints. Afterwards, the daily purchasing and simple maintenance of the manor will likely require your attention. Also, without my permission, do not allow any outsiders to enter the manor, including any acquaintances from the past."
"Yes, young master! This old servant understands!"
Butler Chen solemnly agreed, though he was still filled with doubt and worry, he was determined to help the young master protect this family.
The layoffs proceeded quickly.
Thanks to Lin Qiyue's generous compensation of paying three extra months' wages, although the gardeners and handymen were shocked and reluctant to lose their jobs, no major disturbances occurred.
In just half a day, only Lin Qiyue and Butler Chen remained in the manor, which suddenly became exceptionally empty and quiet.
Standing in the empty courtyard, listening to the rustling of the wind through the blue silver grass, Lin Qiyue took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed.
Without the prying eyes and interference of outsiders, he could finally unleash his full potential and implement his plan.
He first came to the Blue Silver Grass that was over five hundred years old.
"Today you will break through the millennium barrier!"
Time flies, and things change.
In the blink of an eye, a year has quietly slipped by.
The Lin family manor on the outskirts of Tiandou City, once famous for its exquisite flowers and plants and elegant layout, is now quite different.
The high walls remain, but the world inside them has changed drastically.
If viewed from above, one would be astonished to find that this land of hundreds of acres has been transformed into a deep and vibrant green ocean—a strange forest composed of countless gigantic, tree-like blue silver grasses!
The manor's original exquisite gardens, neatly trimmed shrubs, and winding paths have long been completely swallowed up and transformed by this vigorous and untamed vitality.
Looking around, all you can see are staggered blue silver grass trees.
These once weak weeds, under Lin Qiyue's continuous encouragement and nourished by the concerted efforts of countless kin, have long since broken through the limits of life.
They no longer lie prostrate on the ground, but rise up like real trees.
The outermost layer consists of blue and silver shrubs that are two to three meters tall and have stems as thick as a child's arm. They are closely connected, forming a natural and incredibly tough green barrier that completely isolates the interior of the manor from the outside world.
Further in, there is a forest of blue and silver trees, some five or six meters tall, with trunks as thick as buckets and branches that spread out.
In the very heart of the Blue Silver Forest, the small building where Lin Qiyue lived seemed to have become a palace in this blue kingdom.
The small building is surrounded by taller and older blue-silver grass trees, almost blending into the forest.
Behind the small building, a particularly striking giant tree stands tall.
It is hundreds of meters tall, and its trunk is so thick that it takes several people to hug it.
The entire piece is a deep blue with an almost metallic texture. The bark is smooth and hard, and the pale gold patterns flowing on it have connected into a continuous strip.
The tree canopy is like a canopy, with countless huge blue leaves with pale golden edges spreading out, almost covering half of the sky.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, turning into soft, pale blue dappled light that adorns the forest like stars.
This is the original Blue Silver Grass. Under Lin Qiyue's tireless cultivation, it has long since broken through the ten-thousand-year mark and become a genuine hundred-thousand-year plant-type soul beast—the Blue Silver Ancient Tree!
It exudes a powerful yet restrained life force and soul power fluctuations, making it the soul and core of the entire Blue Silver Forest, and the undisputed emperor of all Blue Silver Grass and Trees.
At this moment, Lin Qiyue sat cross-legged beside the gnarled roots of the ancient blue-silver tree.
In just one year, he has grown much taller from an eight-year-old child. Although he is still thin, the composure and depth in his eyes far surpass those of his peers.
He was dressed in a simple blue cloth robe, his eyes closed in concentration, his breathing long and deep.
Centered on the Blue Silver Ancient Tree, the entire manor—no, the entire Blue Silver Forest—is undergoing its daily energy cycle.
Thousands upon thousands of Blue Silver Grass Trees, whether they are outer shrubs or inner trees, are spontaneously absorbing sunlight, rain, and nutrients from the earth, transforming them into the purest essence of grass and trees and soul power.
A portion of it is used for its own growth and maintenance, while the majority transforms into countless pale blue specks of light, indistinguishable to the naked eye, rising from every corner of the forest like subjects summoned by an emperor, converging on the ancient blue-silver tree at the center.
These specks of light lingered briefly on the broad leaves and branches of the Blue Silver Ancient Tree, where they were further purified, before gently disappearing into Lin Qiyue's body, like rivers flowing into the sea.
In just one year, under this exceptionally favorable, almost cheat-like cultivation environment, his soul power increased at a terrifying rate.
From the initial level eight to breaking through level ten.
He had been at level 10 for a long time without acquiring a soul ring.
After a long while, Lin Qiyue slowly finished her practice and opened her eyes.
He stood up and gently patted the rough trunk of the ancient blue-silver tree behind him.
"Indeed, the speed at which the Blue Silver Forest has been enhancing its power for 100,000 years is indeed fast."
"Master, thank you for the compliment."
A voice rang in Lin Qiyue's ear.
And the source is this 100,000-year-old blue-silver tree.
It's not Blue Silver Emperor.
It's unclear whether it's because the Blue Silver Emperor is still alive at this moment.
He did not evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor; instead, he grew into the shape of an ancient tree.
It was referred to by Lin Qiyue as the Blue Silver Ancient Tree.
Lin Qiyue even gave him a name.
Little Blue.
Well, he's bad at naming things, but Xiao Lan seems to really like the name.
Because Xiao Lan evolved into the Blue Silver Ancient Tree, the other Blue Silver Grasses, under his influence, also began to evolve in the direction of becoming trees.
Over the past year, the number of Blue Silver Grass in the entire manor has reached an uncountable level. Moreover, most of the Blue Silver Grass in the entire Tiandou City has now been enslaved by him.
The same applies to the forests outside the city.
After Xiao Lan became a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she possessed four soul skills.
First, there's the Blue Silver Domain. Within this domain, he can freely manipulate the Blue Silver Grass, controlling its growth and restraints, while also possessing the abilities of concealment and amplification.
It can also absorb the energy of other Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Trees.
As long as the Blue Silver Grass continues to grow within the area.
It can regenerate endlessly, almost achieving immortality.
At the same time, the growth rate of all Blue Silver Grass within the Blue Silver Realm will increase significantly.
