I don't know when the rain outside the window has stopped, and only the sound of "tick-tock" water drops lingered in the silent night.
Zhao Yang didn't sleep the whole time, he just leaned on the sofa and let Lin Xueqi put her arms around his neck and sit in his arms.
Quietly, Lin Xueqi murmured, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she opened her eyes hazily, and rubbed her cheek against Zhao Yang's chest in a daze, feeling that she was leaning against Zhao Yang's arms.
It felt warm and comfortable. Then, after a while, Lin Xueqi slowly woke up.
"Aha~"
Lin Xueqi sleepily opened her mouth wide and yawned, blinked her sleepy eyes, and suddenly woke up.
"Huh? Zhao Yang?"
Lin Xueqi was shocked when she found that she was actually nestled in Zhao Yang's arms. She suddenly jumped up from Zhao Yang, subconsciously wrapped her arms around her chest, and looked at Zhao Yang with a bit of fear.
.
At this moment, the sky outside was gradually turning white. Seeing Lin Xueqi's actions, Zhao Yang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, rubbed his stiff and numb arms a few times, and said angrily: "I said you need to do it."
If you act like this, those who don’t know would think I did something to you!"
At this moment, Lin Xueqi also slowly remembered what happened last night. Being choked by Zhao Yang, her face suddenly turned red and she felt embarrassed, "Well, um, Zhao Yang, thank you!"
Zhao Yang also stood up, moved his stiff body a little, and said to Lin Xueqi: "Come on, it's okay, as long as you don't think that I am deliberately taking advantage of you."
Lin Xueqi smiled coquettishly, watching Zhao Yang move his joints, and immediately said with embarrassment: "It doesn't matter, do you want me to rub it for you?"
"Okay, I'll just do some exercise by myself. It's still early now, so you'd better go back to your room and catch up on some sleep to avoid feeling sleepy."
Zhao Yang said casually. After moving a little, the numbness and stiffness on his body slowly disappeared.
Seeing what Zhao Yang said, Lin Xueqi no longer forced herself, nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep for a while, and you can go back to your room to rest."
"Yeah." Zhao Yang nodded.
Lin Xueqi picked up the bear hug that she had left on the sofa last night, yawned, and walked to her room.
But when she walked to the door of the room, she suddenly turned around and asked: "Zhao Yang, didn't you sleep all night last night?"
Zhao Yang was stunned and said: "Why do you ask this? Are you so moved that you want to commit yourself to me?"
"Screw you! A dog can't spit ivory out of its mouth, so why would a ghost commit itself to you? Hum! I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, so I'll go back to sleep!" Lin Xueqi wrinkled her nose and twisted her waist slightly to enter the room.
.
Zhao Yang from behind smiled and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock in the morning and he was too lazy to go to sleep. For him, it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for a day or two occasionally.
After walking into the bathroom and washing up briefly, Zhao Yang did not go back to his room, but went directly to the lakeside in the park where he usually practiced.
Because it rained heavily in the middle of the night last night, the early morning was full of mist. Especially on the lake, a thin layer of mist shrouded it like a veil, which looked very artistic, like a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist.
…
As usual, I came to the place where I originally practiced. I was about to find a drier corner to practice, but suddenly I found that a big tree not far away that required three or four people to hug was chopped by the thunder and lightning last night. It fell to the ground, and the tree underneath was broken.
All the flowerbed shrubs were crushed, and broken branches and leaves littered the ground.
Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, looking intently at the chopped tree, a hint of surprise gradually rising in his eyes...
Zhao Yang immediately walked over quickly and stood in front of the broken tree. He couldn't help but close his eyes and feel it carefully. There were waves of pure and abundant wood spiritual energy and the power of thunder and lightning surrounding him, and the source
The place where the big tree was chopped was.
"What a rich spiritual energy! If I can completely refine this spiritual energy before it dissipates, it may be able to help me directly enter the 'Qi Condensation Stage'!"
However, Zhao Yang was not in a hurry to practice martial arts immediately to absorb the spiritual energy around him. Instead, he turned his gaze to the place where the tree trunk was chopped, and his eyes were deeply attracted.
I saw half a fist-thick, charred wood exposed in the middle of the tree trunk, but under the charred blackness, there was a hint of green moisture!
Millennium wood heart!
Zhao Yang judged at a glance that the piece of wood that was charred black by lightning was the essence of this thousand-year-old tree, and it was the essence of the wood.
"I didn't expect that this ancient tree actually condensed the essence of the wood! And it has reached a thousand-year fire temperature. No wonder it will attract thunder from the sky and burn you."
The moment he saw the piece of 'Thousand-year-old Wooden Heart', Zhao Yang's heart immediately started to beat. If it were on the 'Diyuan Immortal Continent', although the Thousand-Year Wooden Heart was precious, it would not make Zhao Yang unable to restrain himself.
I desperately want to have it as my own. But on earth, this piece of wood that lasts for a thousand years is too rare.
‘Millennium Wooden Heart’ can not only be used to make wooden magic weapons, but can also assist cultivators who practice wood-based techniques by providing pure wood-based essence.
In today's earth where spiritual energy is scarce and resources are scarce, it is definitely a rare treasure that can only be found!
It must be taken out immediately!
Zhao Yang didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ran home as fast as he could and took out the kitchen knife used to chop the bones. He was afraid that other cultivators would pass by and discover the piece of wood heart that was a thousand years old, and they would be the first to get there.
After getting the kitchen knife, Zhao Yang immediately split the tree trunk. Although the kitchen knife was not easy to use, Zhao Yang was already in the late stage of foundation building. With his inner strength bursting out, it was not difficult to split the half of the tree trunk.
After working hard for five or six minutes, I finally took out the piece of 'thousand-year-old wood heart'.
The piece of 'Thousand-year-old Wooden Heart' is as long as a baby's arm and three fingers thick. Except for the upper half that was struck black by lightning, the lower half is shimmering with green light, just like jade.
Crystal clear, containing infinite wood essence and vitality.
Throwing the kitchen knife aside, Zhao Yang quickly washed the 'Millennium Wooden Heart' in the lake water to wash off the charred half of the surface, then took off his sweatshirt and wrapped it carefully.
Then Zhao Yang found a dry place to sit down cross-legged, put the clothes wrapped in the 'Millennium Wood Heart' on his legs, and then began to practice the 'Hunyuan Five Elements Xuan Jing' with his eyes closed, preparing to refine the abundant wood around him.
It is tied to spiritual energy and the power of thunder and lightning.
If these spiritual energies are not refined and absorbed as soon as possible, they will quickly dissipate within a few hours, and this rare opportunity will be wasted.
