Chapter 1008: Primordial Tree Essence
Chapter 1008: Primordial Tree Essence
"Nurturing incomplete treasures, healing severely injured beings, and reviving withered spirit plants..."
"It's perfect for helping the Void Dwelling Immortal Vine regain its vitality."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"An incomplete treasure... The Divine Wood Green Flask fits the bill, but I wonder if it can be successfully repaired."
However, the reason the Divine Wood Green Flask had degraded from a mid-tier treasure to a Sixth Rank Treasure was mainly due to the loss of its origin, which was significantly different from normal damaged treasures.
"Regardless, I must give it a try. Even if it can't be fully restored, improving the little flask's effectiveness would still be worthwhile."
He thought to himself as he carefully took the Evergreen Emperor Life Leaf.
"Thank you, Senior, for bestowing such a precious item upon me."
Lu Xuan spoke with a solemn tone.
"There's no need for such formality. This is what you deserve, young friend."
"Closing that gateway, which was jointly established by multiple sect forces, is no easy task. The Tree Realm had attempted it several times before, but all ended in failure. This time, it was only with your help that it could be successfully sealed."
The Tree Mother spoke with a gentle smile.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
The main reason he was able to seal the gateway was, of course, his identity as a human cultivator. Even if he encountered patrol cultivators, they wouldn't suspect him of being an undercover agent sent by the Profound Apex Tree Mother.
Additionally, his own strength played a significant role.
His powerful spirit perception, far surpassing that of his peers, along with the enigmatic Flower Seductress, allowed him to easily detect any abnormalities. He also had the Divine Ability of the Golden Silk Thunder Robe to conceal his aura. If he happened to encounter patrol cultivators, his Incarnation Ling Gu would help divert their attention.
With all these factors in play, he managed to bury the seven Luminescent Tree Discs without any major incidents.
"Senior, will the Tree Realm no longer be disturbed by so many cultivators from now on?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"The Tree Realm is like an independent space within the Azurewood Star Cave, not subject to the jurisdiction of the Celestial Star Cave. Without a stable gateway, entering it would be a matter of luck."
"Even if those sect forces had designs on the Tree Realm, it won't be as easy as before."
"To claim the Tree Realm as their own, even a major power like the Celestial Star Cave would have to pay a tremendous price, and it wouldn't be worth it."
The Profound Apex Tree Mother lifted her head, gazing at the emerald sky, and spoke slowly.
"In that case, I can rest easy."
Lu Xuan's mind was now entirely focused on the well-being of the countless spirit beings in the Tree Realm, having just received the Seventh Stage Evergreen Emperor Life Leaf from the Tree Mother.
After conversing with the Tree Mother for a while, he bid his farewell with a bow.
"Tree Mother, I must take my leave. I'll bring those little Tree Maidens to visit you again when I have the time."
"Very well, take care, young friend."
The Profound Apex Tree Mother lowered her head to look at Lu Xuan. Although she lacked distinct facial features, Lu Xuan felt a gentle warmth from her.
Just as he was about to enter the emerald light curtain, suddenly, a giant black vine resembling a snake leaped out from the ground a few dozen zhang ahead.
Immediately after, numerous bizarre plant spirit monsters appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes.
There were strange flowers with humanoid bodies, adorable sprites, tree spirits that had lived for countless millennia, and vine demons entangled in countless vines...
"This is..."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback.
"You have greatly benefited the Tree Realm, young friend, and some of the spirit monsters within wish to see you off. They also have a small gift for you."
The Tree Mother's gentle voice reached Lu Xuan's ears.
Before she finished speaking, over a hundred plant spirit monsters in front of him simultaneously exhaled faint green spirit energy.
Infinite green spirit energy gathered together, forming a massive emerald spirit mist, which emanated a vigorous life force, causing Lu Xuan's physical body and spirit to feel much more relaxed.
The Emerald Spirit Mist, under the control of numerous spirit beings, churned endlessly. After a moment, a drop of emerald spirit dew slowly dripped down.
Although it was just a tiny drop, the vegetal spirit energy it exuded was incredibly rich, even surpassing the spirit energy compressed and transformed by the Divine Wood Green Flask, and perhaps even stronger.
Then, a second drop, a third drop...
Each drop of emerald spirit dew gathered together, floating beneath the center of the spirit mist.
"Senior, this is..." Lu Xuan asked in a soft voice.
"This is Primordial Tree Essence, which requires the collection of the essence from thousands, or even tens of thousands, of ancient trees, infused with the origin breath of high-rank spirit beings, and finally refined," came the reply.
"Little friend, as a Spirit Herb Master, this Primordial Tree Essence is of immense benefit to spirit plants. A single drop can significantly shorten their growth cycle."
"These hundred-plus drops of Primordial Tree Essence are the Tree Realm spirit beings' reward for you."
As soon as the Tree Mother finished speaking, the ball of emerald spirit dew slowly floated towards Lu Xuan.
Hundreds of spirit beings roared in unison towards Lu Xuan and then scattered in different directions.
"Primordial Tree Essence... Thank you, fellow cultivators," Lu Xuan said with gratitude, bowing towards each direction.
He hadn't expected that by helping the Profound Apex Tree Mother close the gateway, he would gain the friendship of so many spirit beings.
A peculiar sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.
He felt satisfied with the Primordial Tree Essence, and there was something else as well.
He put away the ball of Primordial Tree Essence and, led by the Little Tree Maiden, weaved through the emerald green world.
"Finally out of the Tree Realm," Lu Xuan sighed, looking around.
He hadn't anticipated such a significant reward after closing the gateway. Not only did he obtain an Evergreen Emperor Life Leaf, but he also acquired over a hundred drops of the rare Primordial Tree Essence.
The two extraordinary treasures left him feeling very content.
"Hmm?"
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a spirit perception sweeping through the area he was in.
"Looks like there's still a major sect cultivator who won't give up, monitoring the movements around the Tree Realm," he thought.
His mind stirred with a new idea.
The other party's purpose was simple; they couldn't bear to part with the numerous spirit beings and spirit herbs in the Tree Realm, wanting to wait for an opportunity like a hare under a tree, to find a new entrance to the Tree Realm and open up a fresh gateway.
"However, encountering me can only mean you've chosen the wrong target."
Lu Xuan's spirit perception detected the other party's rapid approach, and as he channeled his spiritual power, faint, transparent ripples appeared in the surrounding space.
In an instant, the transparent ripples gently brushed past Lu Xuan's body, and he vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there.
"Strange! I clearly sensed a cultivator's aura just now."
An early-stage Primordial Soul elder stopped at the spot where Lu Xuan had disappeared, his eyes filled with astonishment and suspicion.
He deployed his divine sense, instantly scanning a hundred li radius, but he didn't detect any anomalies.
"Could it be that a Primordial Soul cultivator happened to pass by here, noticed my probing, and didn't want to reveal his whereabouts?" the elder speculated silently.
"Does that Primordial Soul cultivator not need to cultivate? To think he's guarding near the Tree Realm entrance!"
On the other side, Lu Xuan's body swayed, overcoming the immense exhaustion from using the Minor Teleportation Technique.
"Fortunately, I have this rare mid-tier divine ability, Minor Teleportation Technique. Otherwise, if I had met that Primordial Soul True Monarch face-to-face, it might have been difficult to escape."
"Of course, using my identity as a Sword Sect Disciple might make him hesitate."
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he unfolded silver-white wings from his ribs, transforming into a streak of silver-white light and swiftly heading towards the Azurewood Star Cave entrance.
