But to go back to the point...
If it weren't for the Dragon Apricot's laziness, it wouldn't have shrunk back into the Herb Garden of Divine Farmer.
If it weren't for the Dragon Apricot's uselessness, over all these years, it wouldn't have yet been excavated by the Holy Divine Palace or others.
From this perspective, if the Dragon Apricot had not been tempted by greed for the Nine Sacrificial Osmanthus, its existence and survival strategy would embody the self-concealing wisdom of a divine relic. Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor levels may be wishful thinking, but longevity would have been a certainty.
In any case, under such circumstances, Xu Xiaoshou would never have encountered the Dragon Apricot, let alone upgraded his Yuan Mansion into the Apricot Realm, gaining such significant convenience.
For this alone, Xu Xiaoshou would never abandon the Dragon Apricot.
