Love of the Divine Tree Episode 16 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Su Yishui took Xue Ranran to pay respects to Feng Shi. Xue Ranran felt that the dead could not be brought back, so it was better to cherish the present and meet the people one wanted to see. She then stepped aside to wait while Su Yishui independently swept the grave. After finishing, he saw that Xue Ranran had fallen asleep leaning against a large tree.
Remembering her earlier words, he found it even harder to control himself and kissed the sleeping Xue Ranran. Immediately, a burning pain coursed through his body, and he rushed back to Mount Wester in haste. Zeng Yi noticed the change in the Ice Lotus and scolded Su Yishui for allowing his emotions to take over. However, Su Yishui refused to listen and directly kicked Zeng Yi out of the room.
Mu Ranwu recalled the efforts she had made to obtain the Golden Elixir, even going so far as to acquire the Soul Devouring Lock and trying to steal Mu Qingge's spiritual energy. She vowed to protect everything that belonged to her in this life. After Xue Ranran broke her spiritual energy with her Qi, Mu Ranwu’s resentment began to stir, and Wei Jiu seized the opportunity.
Wei Jiu lured Mu Ranwu to the wilderness, using the poison of resentment water to force her. In response, Mu Ranwu revealed the Soul Devouring Lock, making Wei Jiu believe that her energy had been stolen by another fruit from the Rebirth Tree. Wei Jiu demanded that Mu Ranwu cooperate in finding clues from Su Yishui. Mu Ranwu readily agreed.
After Wei Jiu left, Mu Ranwu realized that Su Yu had sent someone to track her, meaning they had already become suspicious. She resolved to kill Mu Qingge before her identity was exposed and claim Su Yu for herself. Mu Ranwu went to Mount Wester to see Su Yishui, asking about the whereabouts of the other fruit of the Rebirth Tree.
Su Yishui explained that although the Rebirth Tree was established using his Golden Elixir, there was enough spiritual power to support only one fruit, so he didn’t know if there was another one. He instead turned the question back to Mu Ranwu, who was also connected to the Rebirth Fruit. Mu Ranwu then asked why the resentment water within her body hadn’t completely disappeared, and Su Yishui replied that the resentment water could only be temporarily suppressed.
Xue Ranran went to the market to buy fish and coincidentally ran into Su Yu, who was inspecting the river. They greeted each other as old friends, and Su Yu invited Xue Ranran to join him on his boat to catch some fresh fish from the river. Xue Ranran happily agreed. While on the boat, as they drank tea, Su Yu couldn’t help but confide his disappointment in Mu Qingge, who had directly inherited the spiritual energy upon her reincarnation.
He also noted that she was very different from her past life. In an attempt to comfort Su Yu, Xue Ranran made a soup for him with the fish they had just caught. Su Yu tasted the soup and found that it tasted exactly like the one Mu Qingge used to make. The wine she brewed was the same too.
He also noticed that Xue Ranran was carrying Mu Qingge’s playbook, and deduced that such a precious item could not have been given away easily by Su Yishui. His curiosity about Xue Ranran's true identity grew. When Xue Ranran left the boat, Su Yu even had someone send her a gift. Back at the palace, Su Yu inquired about the Kangping Pill.
Mu Ranwu took out the pill, and after Su Yu left the room, Wu Mi examined it and concluded that it was the lowest grade of elixir, indicating that the alchemist had no talent. Another soldier guarding Mu Ranwu reported that Mu Ranwu had met with Wei Jiu. Xue Ranran and her group followed Su Yishui to Cuiwei Mountain to visit Jiu Lao Xian.
When Jiu Lao Xian heard that Su Yishui had come, he could hardly be bothered to greet them. However, Xue Ranran noticed the wine jars nearby and analyzed the wine's scent, concluding that it wasn’t pure. This piqued Jiu Lao Xian’s interest. When Xue Ranran offered him some of the wine she had brewed, Jiu Lao Xian finally agreed to talk to Su Yishui. Su Yishui then presented the Seven Evil Transformation Talisman.
Jiu Lao Xian explained that with this talisman, one could locate the Spiritual Spring, or alternatively, an item containing Mu Qingge’s Spiritual Spring energy could be sensed. Su Yishui then protected Xue Ranran while she used a branch from the Rebirth Tree to sense the area thick with resentment water. Bai Baishan wandered the market alone, unaware that he was being followed by Wei Jiu and Mu Ranwu.
Mu Ranwu suggested confusing Bai Baishan’s mind, so that he could be used for their purposes. Bai Baishan encountered a man selling Sword Heart Pills and, thinking it could improve his cultivation, secretly purchased one without telling Su Yishui. After taking the pill, he immediately became disoriented and was led by a beautiful woman to a nearby inn. While Xue Ranran was cooking, she sensed someone stealing food. Using Lingxiao, she tracked down the thief. Jiu Lao Xian hurried over to explain that it was none other than Liang Wumeng, who had sneaked into her courtyard.
