Chapter 609: Phoenix occupies the tree nest, the way of Shennong
"Isn't this innate spiritual energy too strong?"
Yang Chan couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This is the branch that Master cut off from the immortal ancient tree. It is reasonable to have such a strong innate spiritual energy."
Qi Yuan played with the branches in his hands with a smile, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with these treasures.
It would be too wasteful if all of them were sacrificed and refined into magic weapons.
What's more important is that Emei disciples use swords to prove the Tao. Although there are a few disciples who practice Yimu sword energy, few of them are profound in Taoism.
The one with the highest achievement has only just become a Sword Immortal for the first time. You can't sacrifice such a branch to him and refine it into an innate wooden sword, right?
It would be too ostentatious for an ordinary swordsman to use such a powerful innate spiritual treasure, and it would easily make others jealous. If he had the intention of killing people and seizing the treasure, wouldn't he be harming that disciple?
At this time, Qi Jinchan ran back from outside with short legs.
He was playing in the mountains, but after seeing the light of his father and mother's swords, he quickly returned.
The little guy jumped into his mother's arms, looking curiously at the immortal tree branch in his mother's hand: "Mother, where did you find this small tree? Do you also like it like Sister Ling'er?
Have you transplanted plants and trees from outside?"
As he said that, he stretched out his little hand to take the branch from his mother's hand. After feeling the breath on it, he immediately rubbed it comfortably on the branches and leaves, feeling that the innate aura on it made him feel very comfortable.
He does not mean that.
Qi Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing his son's words.
He felt that it seemed feasible to plant this branch as an innate spiritual root.
Even if other branches don't work, the branches of this immortal ancient tree will definitely work.
Because the vitality on this branch is so strong that even if it is placed in a place without any aura in the void, it will not wither.
Qi Yuan didn't know that his master was also on Jin'ao Island in Shangqingtian and planted a branch of an immortal ancient tree as an innate spiritual root. If he knew about it, he would definitely go to Shangqingtian to ask his master how to plant it.
of.
However, although he does not have the tyrannical methods of the Tongtian Cult Master, he still has such a magical thing as the Three Light Divine Water.
The three-light divine water he exchanged with Guanyin Bodhisattva a few years ago has not been used up. Qi Lingyun's Tianyi divine water sword cannot swallow up so much three-light divine water, so he still has a lot of it on his body.
I remember that Guanshiyin Bodhisattva once used the Three Lights Divine Water to save the ginseng fruit tree of Zhenyuan Immortal. Although the main reason why this innate spiritual root was pushed down was Buddhism, there is no doubt that the Three Lights Divine Water has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
Qi Yuan thought that he could use Sanguang Divine Water to plant it and try it.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. He always acted straightforwardly, so there was no procrastination. He got up directly and went to the outside of the cave. He inserted a branch on the ground and cast a spell to unlock the spell of the Tongtian Cult that imprisoned the branch. Then he used the power to stimulate the vitality of the vegetation.
Use the spell to try to see if it can make the branches take root and sprout, turning them into innate spiritual roots.
As a result, the incantation repeated several times failed to stimulate the vitality of the branch.
It's not that the vitality in the branch is insufficient, but that it is too abundant, so it cannot be dispersed. In fact, he does not need to add any vitality to it. He only needs to pull out the vitality inside, which will cause the branch to take root and sprout on its own.
After trying several times, Qi Yuan found that it didn't work. He gritted his teeth for the last time, took out a jade bottle, poured out a few drops of Sanguang Divine Water, and under the influence of his magic formula, it turned into a thin mist, covering the branches and leaves.
Especially the fracture at the bottom, he focused on wrapping it with the Three Light Divine Water.
This immediately had an effect. The vitality in the branches was immediately activated by the three-light divine water, and endless majestic vitality radiated out.
Then I saw this branch taking root and sprouting at a speed visible to the naked eye, taking root outside the Luofu Cave. The tree roots penetrated directly through the rocks, penetrated hundreds of feet deep into the mountain peak, and connected to the underground spiritual veins.
Although it is not a good idea to use spiritual energy from the future to nourish the innate spiritual roots, where is there any innate spiritual energy in the three realms today?
Even in the entire universe, there are only a handful of places with innate spiritual energy.
That's why the Queen Mother transformed the peach trees with innate spiritual roots into 3,600 peach trees because it was too expensive to supply one complete innate spiritual root.
Why does the ginseng fruit tree in Zhenyuan Daxian Wuzhuang Temple bloom every three thousand years, bear fruit every three thousand years, and mature every three thousand years?
It is not because the acquired spiritual energy cannot supply the demand of the innate spiritual roots, and it can only be compensated by a long time. After nearly ten thousand years, only thirty ginseng fruits can be obtained.
As one of the few spiritual mountains in the world, Mount Emei is also one of the top-ranked Cave Heaven Blessed Lands. It is no worse than the Wanshou Mountain of Zhenyuan Immortal. There is certainly no problem in supporting such an innate spiritual root that has just taken root and sprouted.
It's just that I can only support this one plant.
Because there are still so many disciples in Mount Emei who need to practice, Qi Yuan dare not plant the other two branches. If too much spiritual energy is taken away by the innate spiritual roots, there may be problems with the practice of the disciples in the mountain.
What to do with the remaining two branches?
Qi Yuan fell into deep thought.
Before he could figure it out, he heard a sudden phoenix cry from the sky.
The chirping of the phoenix echoed across the sky, causing hundreds of birds to sing in the distant mountains and forests.
Then I saw a beautiful ice phoenix with a body length of one hundred feet falling from the sky and landing on the spiritual root that had just taken root.
The ice phoenix danced happily on the branches and screamed non-stop.
Qi Yuan was speechless.
Fortunately, these are not ordinary saplings, but spiritual roots that have sprouted from the branches of the immortal ancient tree, and the roots have penetrated hundreds of feet into the ground.
Otherwise, if it were an ordinary spiritual tree sapling, and the ice phoenix jumped around like this, the tree would be destroyed directly.
After a long while, Bingfeng stopped. She turned into a human form and did not get down. Instead, she hugged a branch comfortably and said cheerfully to Qi Yuan: "Master... eh, no, old master...
"
Qi Yuanyi grinned, "I'm not old yet!"
Bingfeng Zitong's huge red phoenix eyes were almost narrowed to a slit, and he did not see Qi Yuan's face, but he still said cheerfully: "Where did you get the innate spiritual root? It's great, I
I will move my phoenix nest to this tree."
"no."
Qi Yuan shook his head.
"Why?"
When Zi Tong heard this, his beautiful red and phoenix eyes widened instantly.
Qi Yuan rubbed his bald chin and told Zi Tong to pay attention to the fact that he had not grown a beard yet and not to call him random names like old sect leader, lest he would be called old.
He said: "This spiritual root has just been planted, but it can't withstand your troubles. Wouldn't it be a pity if it died?"
"Will not."
Zi Tong vowed: "Don't worry, old boss, I will definitely be careful.
Besides, you see, this innate spiritual root is not comparable to ordinary spiritual trees. The bark is tougher than fine iron. My phoenix nest is very light and will not be crushed.
If it really doesn't work, I'll cast another spell to make the phoenix nest as light as nothing, as long as you let me make my home on this spiritual root."
"Humph, that won't work either."
Qi Yuan rolled his eyes and cursed in his mind, this phoenix has such beautiful eyes for nothing, why can't he see what he means?
"This spiritual root is just outside my cave. It's not suitable for you to live here. Besides, you live well on that cold pine. Why are you making trouble here? Go back quickly."
"I don't!"
Zi Tong immediately hugged the tree trunk next to him tightly, feeling the majestic vitality and innate vitality coming from the tree, and he really didn't want to let go for a moment.
"I will speed up my cultivation a lot on this spiritual root. If you let me practice here, I will definitely be promoted to Golden Immortal within three thousand years."
"Three thousand years?"
Qi Yuan dismissed it: "It's been so long, so let's forget it."
Bingfeng was furious when he heard this: "Do you think everyone is the same as you? I am from the Phoenix clan.
It only takes three thousand years for me to cultivate from Taiyi Xuanxian to Golden Immortal. In the history of the Phoenix clan, there may not be many people who have cultivated so fast."
Qi Yuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Go back quickly, otherwise it will be a bit awkward for me to see you coming in and out every day."
"Then you move this spiritual root to my mountain peak."
Zi Tong started to talk about conditions.
"hehe!"
Qi Yuan said slowly: "Only the spiritual energy in Luofu Cave is the strongest in the entire Mount Emei. This spiritual root can still survive here. Your mountain peak is just a branch spiritual vein separated from the main spiritual vein, which is not enough to feed the innate spirit."
root."
"Then I don't care, I won't leave anyway."
Zi Tong began to cheat. She had joined the Emei Sword Sect a few years before the Emei Sect was established. She also knew Qi Yuan's temper, so she just clung to the tree and refused to come down. How could you forcefully tear me off?
At this time, the movement here also attracted the attention of other disciples in the mountain. Qi Yi, Deng Chanyu and other advanced disciples flew over with sword lights to see what happened to the master.
After all, a tree hundreds of feet tall suddenly appeared in front of Luofu Cave, which was very conspicuous.
Especially this big tree is full of spiritual energy, its leaves are as green as emeralds, full of rich vitality, making people feel very comfortable just looking at it.
"Master, what kind of spiritual root is this? Why is there still innate spiritual energy?"
Deng Chanyu's face was full of curiosity and she opened her mouth to ask.
"Since they all have innate Qi, of course they have innate spiritual roots."
Qi Yuan raised his chin slightly, with a proud look on his face.
"Innate spiritual roots?"
Several disciples were immediately shocked. They did not expect that the master could obtain innate spiritual roots.
Li Yingqi asked in surprise: "Didn't it mean that after the Great God Pangu created the world, only ten innate spiritual roots survived in the prehistoric world?
Master, are you robbing someone’s spiritual root? The other party won’t come to kill you, right?”
"What are you thinking about? With your master and my high moral character, would I do that kind of thing to rob other people's treasures?"
Qi Yuan glared at her, and then he cupped his hands towards Tianwaitian and said: "This is the treasure that your ancestor rewarded to my master. It is the branch that your ancestor cut off from the immortal ancient tree. I inspired this
The vitality inside the cut branches took root and sprouted, turning into a spiritual root."
All the disciples marveled: "Just one branch is so tall, and I don't know what the body of the immortal ancient tree looks like."
"I heard that the ancient immortal tree is tens of thousands of miles tall and is much larger than many stars."
Qi Yuan gave a brief explanation to his disciples, then helplessly looked at the ice phoenix on the branch, and said: "Can you come down and talk? Every time I talk to you, I have to look up to you, my neck feels sore.
.
You said it yourself, if I saw you under the tree every day and said hello to you, wouldn't I be tired of doing this?"
"Just pretend I don't exist."
Bingfeng said, and flew down, landing lightly next to Yang Chan. She took Yang Chan's arm and acted coquettishly, hoping that Yang Chan would intercede for her.
Yang Chan felt soft-hearted, so she advised: "Then let Zi Tong practice here. It will be good for Emei if she can become a Golden Immortal as soon as possible."
Qi Yuan was speechless. His daughter-in-law was too easy to be bribed. With just a few soft words, she immediately turned to Zi Tong.
"well."
Qi Yuan sighed softly and waved his hand: "That's all, you can live here if you want, as long as you don't offend me."
"I got it."
Zi Tong immediately cheered happily, jumping up and down with Yang Chan's arms in her arms. She was obviously very happy. She would not be like this normally.
"Also, keep an eye on it and don't let other birds fall on it. If bird droppings are pulled from it, I'll ask for your help."
"Alas……"
Zi Tong stroked his arm with a look of disgust on his face: "How disgusting!"
She is from the Phoenix clan, has a noble nature, and has never liked filthy things. Even hearing these words made her feel uncomfortable.
Qi Yuan just wanted to make her sick on purpose. This was outside the Luofu Cave. There were countless restrictions on the entire mountain. Unless someone brought some birds and beasts in, normally those birds and beasts would not be able to fall down even if they wanted to.
.
Even if this innate spiritual root was finally occupied by Zi Tong, she would just live in the tree.
Although the innate spiritual root consumes a lot of spiritual energy, it does not just eat without vomiting. While absorbing spiritual energy, it also slowly spits out the pure spiritual energy and vitality through the pores on the leaves. Otherwise, Zi
Even if Tong doesn't play rogue, he still has to rely on this spiritual root.
With this spiritual root, the entire mountain peak where Luofu Cave is located will benefit, and it will even gradually spread out, making the entire Mount Emei's spiritual energy full of vigorous vitality.
Of course, this will take time, a long time, and perhaps thousands of years may not be able to spread this vitality to the entire Mount Emei.
But for Qi practitioners who aim to cultivate Taoism and become immortals, time is nothing. After attaining Taoism and immortality, a lot of time will slowly pass away.
And as an innate spiritual root, every branch and leaf of it can be regarded as a treasure of heaven and earth. Although it is a waste of resources to use the innate spiritual root as a material to refine magic weapons, it can still be done when necessary.
Furthermore, if time passes, this spiritual root may also bear treasures similar to ginseng fruit. Of course, the effects will definitely be different.
These are the innate spiritual roots transformed from the branches of the ancient immortal tree. In the future, they may produce spiritual fruits that contain the charm of immortality. Their efficacy should not be inferior to that of the ginseng fruit tree.
It's just that if you want this spiritual root that has just taken root to bear fruit, it won't take more than ten thousand years. Perhaps many years later, Emei disciples will have the opportunity to taste the taste of the innate spiritual fruit, cultivate the supreme Taoist foundation, and become a spiritual leader.
Lay the solid foundation for the future avenue.
However, everything has a cause and effect, and if you get benefits, you will also bear some risks accordingly.
Qi Yuan planted the branches of the ancient immortal tree at the entrance of his cave. If the ancient immortal tree penetrates into the wilderness in the future, it will definitely be able to sense this spiritual root, and it will definitely be taken back by then, and it may also destroy the entire Mount Emei.
Of course, the premise is that the immortal ancient tree can invade the primitive world.
If that time really comes, it means that all the saints have been defeated, and the wilderness will be allowed to be plundered by others. Emei will not be able to be saved even if it wants to be saved.
After turning a branch of the immortal ancient tree into a spiritual root, Qi Yuan was happy but also a little helpless. There were still two branches left. How should he solve it?
This was the first time that he was troubled by having a treasure but not knowing how to use it.
After thinking about it, he handed one of the immortal branches to Yang Chan and said, "Junior sister, you can handle it yourself. I think you should refine this thing into a spiritual treasure, so that you can use the innate spiritual fire in the future.
When the time comes, when wood and fire come together, they will definitely be able to exert even greater power."
Yang Chan took it casually. For a moment, she didn't know what magic weapon she should use this thing to refine into, so she had to put it away first and think about it later.
Qi Yuan picked up the remaining branch of an immortal ancient tree and said, "I will go to Huoyun Palace. With the majestic spiritual energy of Huoyun Cave, it is more than enough to plant this innate spiritual root."
"good."
Yang Chan nodded: "You go early and come back early."
"got it."
Qi Yuan chuckled lightly, reached out and touched Qi Jinchan, who was holding the corner of his clothes and looking curiously at the big tree. He laughed and scolded: "Listen to mother at home and don't be naughty."
"Uh huh huh!"
Qi Jinchan nodded his little head, but looking at his expression, you could tell that he didn't listen at all.
At this moment, the boy was thinking about how to imitate the ice phoenix and build a palace on a big tree. Maybe, he could also imitate those birds in building a nest.
He felt that many bird nests were also very warm.
Qi Yuan ignored him and said a few words to Qi Yi and the others, then flew into the air with his sword, heading towards the Fire Cloud Cave.
When he came to the Fire Cloud Cave again, Qi Yuan walked in directly without being informed.
Huoyundongtian is more lively than before, not to mention the number of people. In the mountains, forests, wilderness and spiritual fields, you can see a few working figures in the city.
With the huge scale of Huoyundongtian, it can produce a large number of spiritual objects every year and cultivate a large number of descendants of the human race.
It's just that these are the hidden strengths of the human race and will not be easily exposed to other forces.
Just like the dragon, phoenix, unicorn and other clans are hiding their capabilities and biding their time, as the human race is now the protagonist of the world, the Three Emperors and other senior human race leaders also have to consider the future of the human race.
These hidden powers need to be used at critical moments, and some of them need to be left as a human race, lest they are really exterminated and have no bloodline to continue.
Qi Yuan can vaguely understand the thoughts of the Three Emperors, but it is too far away for him. With his current vision, he cannot see that far away, so his current layout is more important.
For now.
Walking all the way to Huoyun Palace, Qi Yuan greeted some old people he met along the way, and then went directly to Huoyun Palace without stopping.
Of course, the Three Emperors would not stay in Huoyun Palace every day, as this was the place where they discussed matters and entertained guests.
Except for the time when Qi Yuan lived in Huoyun Cave, where he met with the Three Emperors in private, most of the other times he met with the Three Emperors were in Huoyundian.
"Meet the three emperors."
In the Fire Cloud Palace, Qi Yuan saluted respectfully.
"Haha, no need to be polite."
Shennong smiled and lifted him up with his hand, and then asked: "Just after the war, you are not practicing at the mountain gate, what do you want to do here?"
"There is indeed something."
Qi Yuan smiled and said: "But it's not a troublesome matter. My master gave me three branches as a reward earlier. I saw that this thing is rare. It would be a pity if they were all turned into spiritual treasures, so I tried to plant them outside my cave.
For a moment, I didn’t expect that it would actually work.”
With that said, Qi Yuan took out the immortal branch and said: "It's just that my Mount Emei can only support one innate spiritual root. Any more will damage the spiritual veins and affect the practice of the disciples, so this junior
Just bring this branch. Do the three emperors think it can be planted in the Fire Cloud Cave?"
"Huh?"
The three emperors were stunned when they saw the branch in his hand.
"The branches of the immortal ancient tree were given to you by the Lord Tongtian?"
Holy Emperor Xuanyuan smiled and said: "Your master is really generous. We couldn't even imagine getting such spiritual objects, but you were able to get as many as three in one go."
Qi Yuan smiled shyly: "It's all because of Master's love, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."
Shennong waved slightly, and the immortal branch in Qi Yuan's hand flew into his hand.
After looking at it carefully for a few times, Shen Nong nodded and praised: "Yes, the branches of the immortal ancient tree are so rich in innate energy and vitality that they are almost condensed into substance. There is also the charm of immortality in them, which is enough to cultivate these branches into
Innate spiritual roots."
Then, he said: "Not only can this thing be cultivated into innate spiritual roots, but the old man can also use the growth of this spiritual root to further his spiritual practice in the future. Wonderful, wonderful, this immortal branch is really mysterious."
Shennong's face was full of smiles, and his smile became even happier.
Although he achieved enlightenment based on the merits of the human race, the path of cultivation after enlightenment is somewhat similar to the Great Way of Creation. If this branch is made into a life-giving object, and then cultivated into an immortal spiritual root, when it grows with the help of this spiritual root
With the endless vitality of immortality, his Taoism will be able to progress with the growth of his immortal spiritual roots.
This immortal branch was his opportunity.
Qi Yuan was also overjoyed when he heard this.
If this thing can help Shennong take a further step on his path, it will be a great joy.
It seems that this time he really came to the right place.
Such a treasure that can help the quasi-sage to further his journey would be the biggest waste if he was casually sacrificed and refined into a spiritual treasure.
Of course, not all quasi-sages can use this to improve their cultivation. Only those like Shennong and those who have the power to practice the way of creation like the Holy Mother Wudang can use this thing to practice.
Moreover, their practice methods are not exactly the same.
