Li Qingyun stroked the vine-covered tree.
For a moment, green light flowed through him, and the withered tree trunk burst with vigorous life.
Then, like a fighter who refused to yield to fate, the tree began to grow at a rapid pace.
The vines entwined around it were forcibly broken, and the originally bare tree became lush and leafy.
Li Qingyun showed a joyful smile and said to the audience, "I heard its voice. It said it would forever engrave the memories of me in its growth rings. Perhaps this is the meaning of what I am doing now."
Bringing a dying tree back to life was a miracle to everyone.
"Little brother is so gentle! Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Little brother, don't you want to struggle for decades less?"
"Will this tree turn into a tree spirit to repay your kindness? If so..."
"Little brother, is this tree male or female?"
"Hiss, why are you guys so weird?"
"..."
The bullet comments scrolled by very quickly, and the viewers' thoughts were going wildly off-topic, with comments always appearing that made Li Qingyun's head spin.
He sat at the base of the tree and said tiredly, "This is not a rainforest, so the wood-element spiritual energy is not that dense. I need to rest for a while. Although I am already at the late stage of Qi Refining, due to the limitations of my cultivation technique, I don't have that much spiritual power. We can chat together."
The young man talked eloquently under the tree. Despite the scorching sun, not a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The occasional gentle breeze seemed like nature's gift to him.
Many new viewers were captivated by Li Qingyun. There were no laugh-out-loud comedic moments, but it was very healing to watch, both his appearance and his livestream content.
However, not everyone wished to see Li Qingyun like this, for example, his ex-girlfriend Chen Xiaohan.
Seeing Li Qingyun in such a comfortable state on the screen, she did not feel happy for him. Instead, she became exceptionally cold.
She had seen Li Qingyun save a tree just moments ago.
Apart from shock, her heart was filled with shame and anger.
She recalled visiting Li Qingyun in the hospital some time ago when he said he had cultivated a technique and his cancer would be cured soon.
No one would believe such nonsense. She naturally thought Li Qingyun was making excuses to force her to stay.
Now, looking at Li Qingyun, he didn't seem like a cancer patient at all. He even looked a hundred times healthier than before.
More importantly, he could bring a dead tree back to life.
This was definitely not fake, because she had gone to Li Qingyun's hometown with him back then, and she remembered this tree that was almost dead from the vines.
So, the sickly boy she had abandoned was now an immortal?
She had become a slut who abandoned her immortal boyfriend for a rich second-generation, not only foolish but also selfish!
If Li Qingyun had died of cancer, nothing would have happened! She would have lived happily with Meng Zibin!
But now, Li Qingyun's livestream was so popular. If he said anything about their past, wouldn't she be subjected to online abuse in an instant?
Damn it, why didn't he just die?
Chen Xiaohan became angrier the more she thought about it, her beautiful face contorting into an ugly expression.
Meng Zibin, however, did not notice her change at all. He was just watching Li Qingyun's livestream, his eyes growing brighter.
"Power that transcends mortals, I must obtain it!"
Even the girls beside him seemed dull and uninteresting.
Meng Zibin began to frantically search for all videos related to the recent popular cultivation trends.
On Bilibili, one could find many videos of Chu Yang and Luo Xiaowei's livestreams.
The most popular video recommended on the homepage now was Chu Yang's performance of "Huoyaolu" and "Jinglei Jianjue" that morning.
Meng Zibin quickly clicked to watch it, and it astounded him.
It was as if a new world had opened up to him. While he had been dallying with Chen Xiaohan recently, he felt that his perception of the world had deviated.
"Has spiritual energy returned?"
"Has the scientific system collapsed?"
"What has happened to this world?"
Meng Zibin's original worldview had been shattered!
After watching Chu Yang's livestream replay, he stood up completely, his face flushed red, "I want to cultivate immortality!"
Chen Xiaohan stared at him in bewilderment, "Zibin, are you okay?"
Meng Zibin didn't even acknowledge Chen Xiaohan. He directly opened his phone, "Book a ticket to the capital immediately. If I'm late, the opportunity will be gone!"
Chen Xiaohan was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say you were going shopping with me tonight?"
"Shopping for what! A heaven-sent opportunity is slipping away, and you're still in the mood for shopping?"
"But..."
"No 'buts.' I've already booked the ticket. Are you coming or not?"
Chen Xiaohan gritted her teeth. Although displeased, she forced augly smile, "Wherever Zibin goes, I will always follow!"
"Alright, the ticket is booked! Don't cause trouble for me then!"
Chen Xiaohan said aggrievedly, "I'm not that kind of person..."
In the past, as long as she showed this wronged expression, Meng Zibin would have cherished her with kisses and hugs. But now, he was completely brainwashed by cultivation.
He completely ignored her meticulously crafted expression.
Meng Zibin had already stormed out. He was going home to explain the situation to his family. He felt that this cultivation was something epoch-making, and their family must seize this opportunity!
And the pitiable Chen Xiaohan was left alone in the empty room, her expression becoming uglier and uglier!
On the computer screen in front of her, Li Qingyun's livestream was still playing.
This young man truly fulfilled the fantasies of most pubescent girls. He was handsome, had a good personality, and was always at the top of his class academically.
The only drawback was his lack of money.
Looking at the empty room, Chen Xiaohan shamelessly recalled the days when she was with Li Qingyun, the days when they walked hand-in-hand, hiding from surveillance on campus...
So, she shamelessly picked up her phone and dialed the number she thought she would never have any contact with again.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service..."
Chen Xiaohan's face turned ashen. The young man who had begged her like a lapdog in the hospital had cut off the last thread of connection between them!
Looking at Li Qingyun on the screen, she clutched the computer screen and said with a ferocious expression, "You deserve to die, Li Qingyun! Since you've already cut off the past, why appear before me with such a victorious posture!"
In reality, Li Qingyun hadn't thought of her at all.
