Just when Ye Tian was working hard, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. He quickly raised his head and looked up. When he saw this, Ye Tian was stunned and stunned.
The five-meter-high tree body of the wooden mandrill seemed to be growing next to a deep pit, and at its feet, at the root of the tree, there was actually a small pile of stones covered with wood textures.
.
More than a dozen stones were piled together, exuding a powerful life force. Although the colors of these stones were different, Ye Tian could still recognize them at a glance. These were all spiritual stones with the wood attribute.
"Where did you find this?"
Shaking his head, Ye Tian confirmed that he was not hallucinating, and then asked Mu Mandrill. He dug exhaustedly for a long time before he found a spiritual stone the size of a baby's palm, but Mu Mandrill remained silent.
It doesn't make any noise, but I got so many of them.
Mudi tilted his head and thought for a moment, pointed to the place in front of Ye Tian, and said: "It's underground here, but there aren't many of them, and I can't get some of them!"
"Okay, bring me everything you can get, and I will definitely help you fight the mountain ghosts!" Ye Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and after saying something coaxing to the child that even made him blush, he sped up.
excavation speed.
However, compared with the wooden mandrill, Ye Tian's speed was still much slower. When he just dug the second spiritual stone, the wooden mandrill got more than ten pieces from nowhere, which made Ye Tian's eyes feel dizzy.
Back then, Ye Tian only got a total of more than ten spiritual stones from the metal spiritual vein in Siberia. This wooden spiritual vein was far better than the spiritual vein in Siberia.
The appearance of pieces of spiritual stones stimulated Ye Tian's whole body with energy. He seemed to have turned into an excavator. After just over two hours, Ye Tian actually dug out a long strip at the root of the ancient tree.
A chasm of about sixty meters, five meters wide and three meters deep.
In this ravine more than sixty meters long, there is a large tree root that is almost petrified, and all the spiritual stones are taken from near this tree root. In other words, this tree belongs to
The spiritual vein of the surname was originally just a root of the ancient hibiscus tree.
"Hey, so many spirit stones!"
Looking at the more than 30 pieces of wood spiritual stones piled up in front of him, Ye Tian had a silly smile on his face and his eyes were so narrow that he could hardly open them. He looked like a pauper who suddenly inherited a huge family fortune.
The colors of these spiritual stones range from dark to light. Ye Tian discovered through testing that the darker the wood texture of the spiritual stone, the richer the spiritual energy it contains. One of the spiritual stones is only about the size of a thumb, but its color is almost dark green.
The powerful spiritual energy contained in it was far inferior to Mu Xin that Ye Tian had seen.
"If you make a fortune, this might be a top-grade spiritual stone."
Ye Tian carefully felt the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, but did not guide and absorb it. He knew that with his current cultivation level, using high-grade spiritual energy would be a waste of resources. Perhaps when he reached the peak of his innate cultivation, he could use this kind of spiritual energy.
Stone comes to impact the golden elixir avenue.
Although he knew that these spiritual stones were extremely hard, Ye Tian still carefully put more than thirty spiritual stones into the leather bag he had prepared.
Ye Tian's skin bag was sewn with the skin of a strange animal on the beach. It can be rolled into a small ball in your hands, but it is very tough and elastic. Even if you put a cow into it, it will not be broken. It is very
Easy to carry.
"Ahem, I said wood, thank you." For the sake of convenience, Ye Tian just gave the wooden mandrill a very unskilled name, but how could this monster know so much? It was still happy there for a long time.
After putting away the spirit stone, Ye Tian looked at the huge gap in front of him, with a rare embarrassed look on his face.
In fact, more than half of these spiritual stones are mined by wooden mandrills. They are generated from the essence of wood. As long as there is wood, it can flow unimpeded. However, some places at the roots of the tree have been completely petrified. This is
Ye Tian needs to dig up the ground to mine it.
The wooden mandrill shook the vines and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, these things are of no use to mother..."
It turns out that due to the huge size of the Fuso tree, the speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy is far beyond what ordinary beasts or spirits can compare with. Those massive amounts of spiritual energy, in addition to supplementing the survival of the giant tree, still have some leftovers.
, it was stored in its own rhizome.
After tens of millions of years passed, the accumulated spiritual energy was repeatedly compressed and condensed, and finally the rhizome of the giant tree was semi-petrified. From this, the wood attribute spiritual vein was formed, and it was the highest quality one.
.
In the outside world, the ancient hibiscus trees have long been extinct, and there is not even one in the Shenzhou barrier. Therefore, if they want to obtain the wood attribute spiritual stone, they can only rely on some wood attribute spiritual veins derived from the forest, but in terms of quality
However, it is far different from the spiritual veins associated with the ancient trees.
"This thing is useless to ancient trees, and is it useless to you?" After listening to Mu Mandrill's explanation, Ye Tian was a little surprised. This guy is a pure spirit of grass and trees. Logically speaking, this spirit stone should be a great tonic for it.
thing.
"It's useful, but I can absorb the spiritual energy from my mother." Mudi's words made Ye Tian understand. Guarding the ancient fusang tree, why would he care about such a small amount of spiritual stones? The spiritual energy that this big guy absorbs every day only needs to be separated out.
A little bit is enough for Wood Mandrill to practice.
Ye Tian suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, are there such stones under all ancient trees?"
The temptation of spiritual stones to cultivators is like a businessman seeing gold. There is no resistance at all. Thinking of the other seven or eight giant hibiscus trees on the island, Ye Tian almost drooled.
It flowed out.
"There should be, but... none of them can be like Mu Mu. Mu Mu has no partners and no family!"
As Muzhao was talking, he suddenly became sad. After talking for a long time, Ye Tiancai finally understood that there could be some kind of connection between these ancient fusang trees.
Through communication, the wooden mandrill knew that except for itself, other ancient trees did not produce similar plant spirits to it.
"It's okay. In a few years, you might have younger brothers and sisters born." Ye Tian irresponsibly comforted Mudi and brought the topic back, "From here to another ancient tree, you need to walk.
How far is it?”
Although Zhang Sanfeng's notes are very detailed, most of the explanations are about the distribution of some strange beasts and monsters. The ancient Fusang tree was only mentioned casually because of the spirit stone, and it was also mentioned as being the closest to his residence.
Yes, but there is no information on other ancient trees.
Mudi had no intuitive impression of distance. After hearing Ye Tian's words, he waved the vines in confusion and said: "I don't know, it should be very far away. There are many barren mountains and swamps in between.
There’s a lot of terrible smell in it.”
"There are so many barren mountains and swamps across the way? Isn't there no chance for my brother?"
Ye Tian sighed when he heard the words, and suddenly understood in his heart. This ancient hibiscus tree covers an area of dozens of kilometers, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth it needs to absorb is terrifying. If another one grows nearby, the two will not be able to survive at all.
They cannot coexist. Perhaps this is the reason why there are only seven or eight ancient trees on the entire giant island?
In the notes and maps left by Zhang Sanfeng, there is a big demon living in the swamp more than a thousand kilometers in front of this ancient tree. With Ye Tian's cultivation, trying to travel there is tantamount to seeking death, so he can only keep it in his heart.
Discarded this idea.
"Damn it, when my brother reaches the golden elixir stage, he will definitely dig out all the spiritual stones on this island!"
Ye Tian spat on the ground bitterly, blaming Zhang Sanfeng for everything in his heart. You said that this old Taoist has such a high level of cultivation, why don't he dig out some spiritual stones and leave them to future generations? That would save him a lot of hardships.
Let’s go and get these spiritual stones.
But Ye Tian didn't know that with Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation at the peak of his Golden Core and his ability to reach the Nascent Soul realm, the effect of the spirit stone on him would be minimal.
Just like the courtyard in Ye Tian's capital city, it was very useful to Ye Tian in the past, but now, even if Ye Tian cultivates there for a hundred years, he may not be able to improve his cultivation at all.
Just when Ye Tian was deep in thought, Muzhao suddenly sent a message to Ye Tian: "You got these things, right... right?"
"Is it something?" Ye Tian raised his head in surprise, just in time to see Muzhao's somewhat twitchy expression.
"Let's go fight. That stone man keeps bullying me. Let's teach him a lesson!"
As soon as the wooden mandrill was excited, those vines started flying all over the sky. It has been living in loneliness since it developed spiritual intelligence. It finally saw a spirit with the same spiritual surname on the edge of the giant tree, and wanted to get close to it.
, but I didn't expect to be beaten up by that guy and ran away, so I was always aggrieved.
"Okay, let's teach it a lesson and make it run away when it sees you!"
After hearing Muzhao's words, Ye Tian also realized that the place where mountain ghosts can be produced must be a place with strong earth spiritual energy, where it is very likely to find earth spiritual stones that he has never seen before.
.
As for why the mountain ghost regarded the wooden mandrill as an enemy when it saw it, Ye Tian actually had some speculation in his mind. Among the five elements, wood can conquer the earth. How can a spirit derived from the soil of the earth have any relationship with it when it sees the heaven and the earth?
"Okay, let's leave now!" The mandrill became excited. Although it was almost burned to death by Ye Tian earlier, at this time, in its heart, Ye Tian is the most trustworthy person.
"Hey, let me tell you, your speed is too slow. When can we arrive?"
After tying the skin bag containing the wood spiritual stone to his waist, Ye Tian frowned and looked at the wooden mandrill, which was moving slowly step by step.
