Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116: Chapter 707: Monkey's New Job_2 Chapter 1116: Chapter 707: Monkey's New Job_2 Jiang Hui arrived to find the Stone Monkey busy as usual, shoveling manure and cleansing the manger in the stables.

His dedication was extraordinary.

In “Journey to the West,” when the Monkey was first appointed Bi Ma Wen, he also cared for the Celestial Horses, fattening them up until they were robust and healthy, a complete transformation from their previous gaunt appearance.

To tell the truth, had the old Jade Emperor improved the Monkey's treatment and status a bit more, perhaps the great upheaval in the Heavenly Palace would never have occurred.

Jiang Hui stood not far away, watching the Stone Monkey's busy figure for a while before speaking. “Well done, you've managed this place in an orderly fashion.”

Though his voice was soft, it clearly reached the ears of the Stone Monkey.

The Monkey paused in his movements, a look of joy appearing on his face, his ears twitched slightly, and he quickly put down his shovel, leaping forward to arrive in front of Jiang Hui, bowing and saying, “Greetings, Adult.”

Jiang Hui smiled faintly, affectionately patting the Monkey's head, and then pointed into the distance, “Do you see that tree?”

Following the direction of his hand, the Stone Monkey saw the World Tree standing tall, its leaves lush and its canopy expansive, emanating a faint glow, exuding a divine and majestic aura.

“I see it,” the Monkey immediately nodded, speaking quickly, “Adult, you mentioned before, that is the World Tree, a unique and precious tree in the world.”

“No, no, no, I'm asking if you see that sapling next to the World Tree?” Jiang Hui said with a smile, shaking his head.

“Sapling?” The Monkey was taken aback, then opened his eyes wide.

Golden beams dazzlingly shot from the lively Monkey's eyes, like golden lightning piercing through mountain peaks.

Upon closer inspection, he indeed noticed a sapling next to the World Tree.

The sapling was only a bit over a foot tall, its branches and leaves verdant and exuding a faint fragrance. Its trunk and branches, however, seemed particularly robust, not at all like a sapling.

While it certainly wasn't as grand and imposing as the World Tree, it possessed an indescribable charm.

“This is…” The Monkey scratched his head, it felt familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Of course, to him, all the Spirit Plants in the world looked more or less the same, with no significant differences to speak of.

Jiang Hui smiled slightly, “This is the Ginseng Fruit Tree, an extremely precious Spirit Plant. Its fruits can extend life, offering immense benefits to those who cannot achieve immortality. However, it needs one hundred thousand years to grow and then another nine thousand years to bear fruit.”

“So… Adult, you wish me to help tend to this Ginseng Fruit Tree to ensure it matures smoothly?” The Stone Monkey anticipated Jiang Hui's intention without needing him to speak.

Oh, he's even quick to answer.

No wonder they say humans evolved from monkeys.

A gleam of appreciation flashed in Jiang Hui's eyes, “If you are willing, I can entrust you with guarding this tree. You need only care for it daily to receive great benefits. This is my promise to you.”

Hearing this, the Monkey immediately replied respectfully, “Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. I am willing to guard this tree.”

Jiang Hui nodded satisfactorily, “Very good. You may go now, your benefits will come in time.”

The Stone Monkey bowed and took his leave, his heart filled with excitement.

In the days that followed, in addition to caring for the Celestial Horses at the Imperial Horse Superintendancy, the Monkey would find time to check on the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Every day he would carefully water, fertilize, and weed.

Although in Jiang Hui's eyes these steps were unnecessary, as how could a rare Spirit Plant like the Ginseng Fruit Tree suffer from drought or pests, the Monkey's actions would not cause any harm. So, Jiang Hui let him be, as it certainly made the Monkey appear diligent.

And so time passed, day by day.

Uniquely fulfilling in its own way.

Before he knew it, almost a thousand years had flown by.

During these nearly one thousand years, Jiang Hui had hatched numerous dragon eggs, and with some luck, he actually hatched a Legendary-level Dragon Egg.

The hatching method for this Legendary Dragon Egg was somewhat peculiar.

It required him to repeat the phrase “Dragon Egg, Dragon Egg, sesame, open up” to the dragon egg every day, precisely at noon, for a total of eighty-one days, not one day more, not one day less.

Of course, though it was a bit troublesome, this method of hatching was undoubtedly the least effort-consuming and the least challenging for Jiang Hui–it simply involved moving his lips.

Despite its peculiarity, he still liked this method of hatching the best. In this day and age, if a bit of trouble could lead to success, then it wasn't considered a problem.

Not like the Chaos-grade Dragon Egg he still treasured in his possession.

Its hatching method was outrageously extreme, requiring the slaying of beings in the Sacrificial Path Realm to collect their heart's blood.

Let alone the Sacrificial Path, even cultivators of identical realms in the Emperor Realm would find it very difficult to kill completely–a character like Emperor Huang Tian was even more perverse, capable of existing in any time and space, at any stage, and could be anyone. He could be any one person, making it impossible to kill him completely.

He had the highest level dragon egg in his possession, yet the hatching date seemed eternally indefinite.

Other than shaking his head, Jiang Hui no longer pondered these meaningless matters and concentrated on looking at the Legendary Dragon Egg in front of him, radiant with a splendid spectrum of colors and taller than a person.

Then, in an unusually gentle tone, he softly spoke, “Dragon Egg, Dragon Egg, sesame, open up…”

Soon enough, the eighty-first day arrived right on time.

Once midnight of the 81st day passed, accompanied by flecks of light rain falling from the sky, a crack suddenly formed on the Legendary Level dragon egg.

Then, in a flash, it transformed into a streak of light and surged into Jiang Hui's body.

A voice that felt exceptionally amiable echoed in his ears:
“Congratulations, your Mythical Dragon Egg has successfully hatched.”

The rewards for the Mythical Dragon Egg are as follows:
Pearl of the Mystic Ice Spirit (300 pieces), Luo Snake Ancient Scales (30 pieces), Blazing Feather of the Fire Luan (60 pieces), top-quality Immortal Qi Spirit Liquid (several), Sacred Armor of the Mystic Turtle (one set), Questioning Path Divine Bamboo (Rare Item), Primordial Azure Qi (Rare Item), and the Eight Extremes Mysterious Tablet (Rare Item).

Its scales, as hard as iron and infused with the ancient power of the Luo Snake, can be used to forge defensive magical treasures or enhance the defensive power of existing treasures.

Blazing Feather of the Fire Luan (60 pieces): Distinctive divine feathers from the Fire Luan, light and graceful, allowing an ordinary person to ride the wind. They can also be polished into exclusive treasures, waving them produces raging flames.

Also, cultivating beneath this bamboo can increase the chance of enlightenment (effective for anyone below the Sacrificial Path).

Primordial Azure Qi (Rare Item): Said to be the mysterious Qi born when the universe first opened, containing the secrets of the universe and endless strength. Possessing it allows one to peek into the Great Taoist, transcend reincarnation, and grasp the true essence of Primordial.

Eight Extremes Mysterious Tablet (Rare Item): Capable of summoning the Eight Extremes Secret Realm.

The Eight Extremes Secret Realm: The extremity of heaven and earth, comprising eight different secret realms each with its own scenery. Each realm holds an unimaginable opportunity, irreplaceable and non-renewable. Once all the opportunities are collected, the Eight Extremes Secret Realm will become an ordinary otherworld, serving as a prison. Without the owner's consent, escape is impossible.

Skimming through the list, Jiang Hui quickly went over all the rewards.

Even though he had opened thousands upon thousands of dragon eggs, every time he reached this stage, he couldn't help being a little excited.

It felt just like opening a mystery box.

You never know what's inside.

Especially with dragon eggs of a high rarity.
