Chapter 863: Green Condensed Dew
Chapter 863: Green Condensed Dew
"A sixth-grade millennium ancient tree heart is a pretty decent reward."
Lu Chen gazed at the ancient wood before him, its bark mottled with age, and sighed.
"It would greatly benefit wood-based spirit monsters and beasts. It's perfect for the Demon Ghost Vine, Treant, and Grass Puppet in my cave abode."
"It can also be refined into a wooden artifact, but that's not as important."
The sixth-grade millennium ancient tree heart could only be used to create low-grade artifacts, which held little appeal to Lu Chen, who already possessed several seventh-grade treasures.
"It can also be refined into a core for a high-grade puppet... It seems like this treasure is tailor-made for the Grass Puppet."
Lu Chen's spiritual sense swept over the Grass Puppet, tirelessly patrolling his spirit fields, as he thought to himself.
The Grass Puppet was a low-grade puppet crafted from a special type of spirit grass. It had gained a semblance of sentience after absorbing a large number of Spirit Nurturing Grass Pearls.
The Grass Puppet had been by Lu Chen's side since his Qi Refining stage, and it remained loyal to this day.
This peculiar puppet diligently patrolled the spirit fields every day, diligently guarding the myriad spirit plants under its watch. It was truly diligent and obedient.
"Being a low-grade, wood-based puppet, this millennium ancient tree heart will be of utmost benefit to it."
Lu Chen made his decision and willed it so.
The Grass Puppet, with two Arrow Vines draped over its shoulders, strode toward Lu Chen on its long, thin legs.
"Try to refine this piece of wood."
Lu Chen tossed the ancient wood to the Grass Puppet, imparting his thoughts to it.
Several thick grass ropes shot out from the Grass Puppet's arms, which were woven from gray grass, and it caught the millennium ancient tree heart. Tilting its massive head, it examined the ancient wood.
Lu Chen sensed a hint of confusion in its hollow eye sockets.
But soon, it detected the incredibly pure vitality lurking within the heart of the ancient wood.
The large gray-black tumor on its head suddenly split open, and several gray-green grass ropes shot out, tightly wrapping around the ancient wood.
Through his spiritual sense, Lu Chen perceived the faint glow of a sphere at the very center of the ancient wood, with ripples of green light spreading outwards in concentric circles.
Where the gray-green grass ropes touched the ancient wood, a flash of verdant light appeared, and soon, a hint of green crept from the tips of the grass ropes, slowly spreading toward the Grass Puppet's body.
Time passed, and specks of green appeared on the Grass Puppet's gray grass body, and even the two Arrow Vines on its shoulders seemed to exude a more vibrant vitality.
The ancient wood slowly pierced into the Grass Puppet's chest, merging with its torso along with the grass ropes.
Perhaps due to the overwhelming vitality contained within, the Grass Puppet struggled to absorb and digest it all. After a short segment of the wood had been absorbed, it stopped penetrating further.
More than half of the ancient wood remained outside, wrapped in numerous gray-green grass ropes, giving it a peculiar appearance.
"Once it fully refines this millennium ancient tree heart, it will probably break through to become a high-grade puppet."
"Then, with enhanced strength and higher sentience, it will be even better suited to guard my spirit fields."
Lu Chen couldn't help but think.
At his command, the Grass Puppet, with a large piece of wood protruding from its chest, slowly turned and continued its patrol of the spirit fields.
"Hmm?"
Lu Chen turned his head, slightly intrigued, as he noticed the tiny Treant, who had just broken through, staring intently at the Grass Puppet's retreating figure. A hint of envy seemed to flicker in its emerald green eyes.
"Of course," Lu Chen thought. "Being a rare wood-based spirit monster, the Treant naturally yearns for that piece of the millennium ancient tree heart."
"Don't worry, the next time I come across a treasure similar to the tree heart, I'll make sure to give it to you first."
Back in the Azurewood Star Cave, the Mystic Extreme Treant Mother had given him six little Treants, and the other five were likely close to their breakthroughs as well.
The little tree sprite flapped her pale green wings, hovering in the air as she spoke to Lu Chen with a delicate and crisp voice that soothed his heart.
Lu Chen's gaze softened as he looked at the tiny tree sprite.
"There will be more ancient tree hearts in the future. For now, taste this high-level grass and wood spirit energy that I've been nurturing within my body."
As Lu Chen spoke, he released a wisp of Primordial Green Wood Source Qi from his fingertip, which swiftly flew towards the little tree sprite.
Sensing the pure grass and wood spirit energy within, the tree sprite didn't refuse and directly absorbed it, her exquisite face reflecting utmost satisfaction.
"Nurture the spirit plants in the spirit fields well. If you do a good job, I will certainly reward you generously."
Lu Chen made a grand promise to the little tree sprite, who had just broken through.
Now that the little tree sprite had reached the fifth-grade, she would have an even more positive influence on the spirit plants in the spirit fields, aiding their growth.
"Once the other five little tree sprites reach their full potential, I should pay a visit to the Boundless Forest in the Azurewood Star Cave."
"That enigmatic Primordial Extreme Treant Mother promised me a high-grade and rare spirit seed, after all."
Lu Chen mused aloud.
Not long after the first little tree sprite broke through, another one followed suit and reached the fifth-grade as well.
Strands of grass and wood spirit energy converged towards the tree sprite, and her petite body began to show traces of green. The green light flowed and whirled as she ravenously absorbed the pure spirit energy from the massive spirit energy vortex.
Lu Chen stood by, his mind focused on the tree sprite, ready to provide grass and wood spirit energy whenever needed.
After a long while, the spirit energy vortex was completely absorbed, and the tree sprite's body seemed to have grown slightly larger. The fresh and natural aura about her was now much more intense, as if she were a tiny sprite entirely composed of pure spirit energy.
"With all the 'wool' I've pulled from the high-grade spirit plants in the cave abode, their breakthrough speed has indeed increased significantly."
Lu Chen chuckled, his gaze falling on the white ball of light that had quietly appeared.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light ball.
In an instant, the ball shattered silently, transforming into countless microscopic specks of light that soared into the sky before coalescing into a drop of emerald green dew that swiftly entered Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
The sprite tree nymph breaks through to the fifth-grade, yielding the fifth-grade treasure, the Green Condensed Dew formula.
As the thought flashed through his mind, a vast amount of information flooded his sea of consciousness.
The information pertained to a fifth-grade spirit liquid known as Green Condensed Dew, detailing how to collect the dew that formed on high-grade spirit plants in the early morning, and then refine it with various spirit fruits and flowers to create the Green Condensed Dew.
Detailed information about the Green Condensed Dew also appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Green Condensed Dew: A fifth-grade spirit liquid. It is crafted by collecting the dew that condenses on high-grade spirit plants in the early morning and refining it with various spirit fruits and flowers.
This spirit liquid is fresh and natural, offering excellent nourishment for the soul and physical body. Prolonged consumption strengthens the soul, purifies the body, and enhances healing from various injuries.
"A fifth-grade spirit liquid formula," Lu Chen thought.
"I need to find the right opportunity to collect the dew that has fused with the grass and wood spirit energy of high-grade spirit plants early in the morning. The main ingredient is quite common in my cave abode, and gathering the supplementary materials shouldn't be difficult either."
Lu Chen contemplated silently.
"With this, I'll have another new fifth-grade spirit brew to add to my collection, alongside the Ape Demon Wine and the Sword Pill Elixir."
"As the most renowned spirit herbologist in the Li Yang territory, it's only fitting that I should brew several types of high-grade spirit liquids, isn't it?"
He chuckled softly.
