  In a few dozen miles away from another peak of thousands of feet high, there is also a winding stone staircase that extends from the foot of the mountain to the top.

  At the top of the mountain, there is also a stone wall with various carvings on it. In the middle of the stone wall, there is also a stone gate. This is also a mountain building carved out of the mountain body.

  At this time, Luo Qing had already brought Wei Ziming to a courtyard. This courtyard was not directly carved out of rock, but was built on a flat area at the top of the mountain. This courtyard seemed quite special here, after all, the other houses were all carved out of the mountain.

  In this courtyard, there is a row of flat stone walls serving as a square. Outside the square, a tree with a height of one zhang (about 3 meters) and a twisted trunk that resembles a coiled dragon is planted. The entire tree is black in color.

  Around were also planted some rare medicinal herbs, emitting a refreshing fragrance, but because of the location on the mountain top, the strong wind scattered the fragrance, until it disappeared.

  "How's that? My place isn't bad, right?" Luo Qing said with a self-satisfied expression in the small courtyard.

  "It's quite special, others live in houses carved out of the mountain, but this one has a courtyard" Wei Ziming smiled slightly upon hearing this and carefully examined the courtyard.

  In this courtyard, the most special thing is next to the small square, where trees with a completely black body are planted. I don't know what kind of tree species it is, but its entire body is pitch-black, including the leaves, which are also pitch-black and have a metallic luster like forged iron.

  "Heh heh! I actually had a reason for creating this small courtyard." Luo Qing said with a smile, her eyes falling on the completely black tree.

  "What reason? What reason is that? Is it because of this black tree?" Wei Ziming asked with a puzzled expression.

  "Not bad! This is no ordinary tree, although I don't know what kind of rare species it is. The texture of this tree is extremely hard, even if you use a divine sword to chop it, it's unlikely to leave a mark on its body." Luo Qing walked up to the black tree and gently stroked the trunk with his hand, as if caressing his own beloved, his face revealing an infatuated expression.

  "It's actually unable to cut through this black tree even with the divine artifact? This means that this black tree is an exceptionally rare material, and it might be possible to forge a pre-heavenly treasure with it." Wei Ziming heard this and was immediately shocked. He didn't doubt Luo Qing's words, so he appeared extremely astonished and surprised. However, when he saw Luo Qing's expression, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

  "Zi Ming, I'm introducing him to you as a brother, so don't mention anything about refining materials again, or else I'll turn against you." Luo Qing heard Wei Zi Ming's words and immediately showed a displeased expression, while seriously warning him.

  "Eh! Xiao Hei?" Wei Ziming looked at Luo Qing's serious expression, and his face suddenly showed a look of astonishment. At the same time, he heard that Luo Qing had actually given this black tree a name. Connecting it to Luo Qing's infatuated expression earlier, Wei Ziming vaguely felt that this black tree was not as simple as he had imagined.

  "Xiao Hei is so clever! Xiao Hei and Wei Zi Ming exchanged a greeting." Luo Qing warned, looking at Wei Zi Ming with an odd expression. He suddenly reacted and smiled awkwardly, patting the black tree trunk while saying...

  As Luo Qing's voice fell, this black strange tree actually shook slightly, the few black leaves on the branches rubbed rhythmically, making a soft but very pleasant rustling sound. Wei Ziming could clearly feel a friendly and joyful emotion emanating from this black strange tree.

  Looking at the performance of this black strange tree, Wei Ziming felt extremely surprised and unbelievable. Luo Qing was indeed right, this black strange tree was indeed intelligent.

  "This is unbelievable!" Wei Ziming couldn't help but exclaim, no wonder earlier when he said that this black strange tree could forge innate treasure, Luo Qing would show a displeased expression, apparently he had already treated this black strange tree as a pet.

  Looking at the medicinal herbs around the black Qizhu tree, Wei Ziming was able to discover that these medicinal herbs were all over a hundred years old. However, these hundred-year-old medicinal herbs did not have the expected fragrance of medicine, and the fragrance emitted was extremely ordinary, just like an ordinary medicinal herb.

  "These herbs are all collected by me with great effort, planted here, and it should be obvious that the years of these herbs are very long. However, these herbs do not have much medicinal power because I have specially treated them. Every now and then, these herbs will secrete some juice into the soil, causing the medicinal power in the herbs to flow out and nourish the soil, providing nutrients for Xiao Hei." Luo Qing said with a flying color.

  When he heard this, Wei Ziming showed a strange expression again, apparently he didn't expect Luo Qing to have such behavior. He walked a few steps forward, squatted down, and picked up some soil with his hand. Indeed, the soil contained a strong medicinal fragrance, and it looked very special, different from ordinary soil.

  Wei Ziming could clearly feel that the tactile sensation transmitted by these soils was very peculiar, and they were all sandy in texture, with uniform size and a special elasticity, as if they were rubber-like.

  Feeling these soils, Wei Ziming knew that they were not ordinary, so he asked, "These soils are extremely peculiar! What kind of soil is this?"

  "Haha! I didn't think you'd be so meticulous, not bad! This soil isn't ordinary soil, it's made from the flesh and blood of a pre-heavenly level demonic beast as the raw material, mixed with some rare minerals to refine it. Haha! Didn't expect that, did you? This soil was specially refined by my grandfather at my request." Luo Qing's smug smile grew even thicker on his face.

  "Congenital level demonic beast flesh and blood? Rare mineral?" Wei Ziming heard this, and was shocked once again.

  The flesh and blood of the demon beast were not ordinary things. When in Huangsha County, it was because they discovered the demon beast's tracks that a large number of external forces poured into Huangsha County. To know that the demon beast was just an ordinary demon beast, but Luo Qing was good, actually using a pre-heavenly level demon beast's flesh and blood to refine the soil.

  "Is Xiao Hei worth it?" Wei Ziming was able to guess through simple conversation the effort and precious things Luo Qing had paid for this strange tree, which was absolutely not just what he had just said. What he had just learned from Luo Qing's mouth might only be one ten millionth of what Luo Qing had paid for this black strange tree.

  "It's worth it! Because Xiao Hei is my brother." Luo Qing said with a slight pause, then spoke without thinking.
