Chapter 73

A fine rain of blood drifted down, and in less than a minute, it quietly dispersed. Falconer also reached out his hand to catch the falling drops of blood. He stuck out his tongue to lick his palm, closed his eyes, and tasted it. He frowned and said, "It's the blood of mutated rune beasts, not naturally formed …"

Zhang Yaojin looked at the sky, his face gradually turning pale. After a while, he said, "I … seem to understand a little!"

Guo Shier asked, "What?"

Zhang Yaojin said, "If I guessed correctly … this is the ground below the opening corner, and above is the opening corner of the black fog area! The falling blood rain … is from mutated rune beasts that mistakenly entered this area, and after being ground to pieces by the ancient formation above … it sprinkled down, that's why there are so many storage trees here! "

Guo Shier didn't see any connection between this place and the opening corner, and hearing Zhang Yaojin speak so confidently, he decided to believe him for the time being. He asked, "Big Brother Zhang, storage tree … what is the best quality?"

Zhang Yaojin sighed for a while, then calmed down and said, "No one has been here for a long time, so there should be a lot of top quality storage trees here. Let me think … what kind of storage tree is the best."

Guo Shier didn't obtain this inheritance, and whether it was the anluo stone, blood soul stone, or storage tree, he had heard about it from his elders.

The three quietly stood in front of the ancient formation gate, and after a while, Zhang Yaojin said, "The two kinds of storage tree are the best. One is the lightning storage tree, and the other is the storage tree that will die after ten thousand years. Well, since the three of us came down first, let's search with our own abilities. As for Chen Zhendong and the others … there are many storage trees here, and we can't take them all. When the time comes, let them come in and collect them themselves. "

"Lightning storage tree? Storage tree that will die after ten thousand years? "Guo Shier said thoughtfully, his heart full of expectation. Zhang Yaojin suddenly said, "But … I still have a doubt …"

Falconer frowned and asked, "Are there mutated rune beasts?"

Zhang Yaojin shook his head and said, "No, there won't be mutated rune beasts here, but there might be mutated rune insects! Or there might be something we don't know, and it won't be easy to deal with. "

Guo Shier said, "That makes sense, this place … seems to be a holy land for cultivation. Well, let's explore first, and then collect some storage trees."

Zhang Yaojin was about to move, but Guo Shier said, "Wait, I don't know how to collect storage trees."

The Hawk Demon couldn't help but laugh. Guo Shier was always so unexpected. Zhang Yaojin stared at Guo Shier in shock. The little guy said without any shame, "I'm just a kid … It's normal that I don't understand."

"Ah? Oh … this, this is impossible … how to collect the Storage Wood is a legacy. "

Guo Shier said innocently, "I forgot!" In fact, he really didn't receive the inheritance. In the Chenxiao Sect, only those who had reached the Sacred Master level could obtain the knowledge related to the storage wood. When he was in the Chenxiao Sect, he was only a Great Talisman Master, so he didn't receive any inheritance in this aspect.

Zhang Yaojin said, "Oh, so you forgot. Alright, I'll tell you …" The method of collecting the Storage Wood was not complicated. After about ten minutes, Zhang Yaojin told Guo Shier the general idea. Then he realized, "What? Bullshit, how could I forget the soul inheritance? "

Guo Shi 'er grinned and said, "Yes, I remember now."

Zhang Yaojin was so angry that he jumped. Guo Shier smiled, "Kids forget things easily … Brother Zhang, we'll go back in three days. Let's hurry." Then he released the Dark Wing Magic Scorpion. He didn't dare to release the Giant Perching Dragon. The storage trees were too precious, and it was easy for the Giant Perching Dragon to destroy a large area of storage trees.

Guo Shier knew all the collection methods that Zhang Yaojin had told him. There were two ways to collect storage trees. One was to collect the heart of the storage tree, and the other was to transplant the whole tree into a Plant Concealment Talisman. Then the Plant Concealment Talisman would be stored in the Life Talisman Book to cultivate. Of course, this method was limited to the collection by oneself. Only by cultivating in one's own soul could the storage tree be compatible with the soul.

Guo Shier had a lot of Plant Concealment Talismans. He had made a lot of them for fun, and this time he could use them.

As for collecting the heart of the storage tree, it was even easier. He could use the talisman fire to refine it. The higher the level of the talisman fire, the better the heart and the faster the refining speed.

Zhang Yaojin said, "I'll go to the left and you go to the right. It's up to luck!"

Guo Shier nodded, "If there's danger, contact me immediately."

Zhang Yaojin couldn't wait any longer. He turned around and ran to the left. Guo Shier sat on the back of the scorpion and said, "Uncle Falconer, let's go this way." Falconer flew to the back of the scorpion and said, "Be careful."

Guo Shier drove the Darkwing Magic Scorpion to the right. He was very vigilant. This was a treasure land. Who knew what powerful things there were? He felt that his strength was not enough to deal with them, so it was right to be careful.

The storage tree grew very lush. Although it was not very dense, the number was still amazing. There was also fog here, but it was not very thick. It could be seen a few hundred meters away, which was much better than the black fog area.

Guo Shier said, "Storage tree … The thousand-year ones are the largest, and the ten-thousand-year ones are the smallest … It's a headache. How can we tell them apart?"

Falconer said with a wry smile, "I don't know."

The Storage Trees were all similar in appearance. They had jet-black trunks, tiny corn kernels of leaves, and bright red leaves gathered at the top of the branches. They were very dazzling. Guo Shier sighed, "It's like a painting, an ink-and-cinnabar plum blossom painting."

Falconer asked curiously, "What is ink-and-cinnabar plum blossom? I know about plum blossoms, but what is ink-and-cinnabar? "

Guo Shier shook his head. He couldn't explain. Ink-And-Cinnabar was something he had come into contact with in his previous life, but it didn't exist in this life. He said, "It's nothing. Since we can't find the ten-thousand-year one, it's not bad to find the thousand-year one. Let's slowly collect them." As they spoke, they had already entered deep into the forest of storage trees.

"There's a storage tree there, a very big one!"

Hawk Demon's eyes were sharp, and he discovered a relatively thick storage tree. Guo Shier nodded. "I'll refine it … Haha, I hope I can successfully refine the tree-heart."

Guo Shier had the best talisman fire, which he had collected in the Yanfire Secret Realm.

Very quickly, they arrived in front of the storage tree. Guo Shier opened his mouth and spat out a ball of golden talisman fire. In an instant, the storage tree began to burn. The power of the golden talisman fire was extremely great. In a few minutes, the storage tree had been burned to ashes. Guo Shier was dumbfounded.

Falconer's mouth was also wide open. After a while, he said, "It's burning so fast … There doesn't seem to be anything!"

Guo Shier hadn't moved, but the Darkwing Devil Scorpion had. It crawled a few steps, and its huge pincer poked at the ashes, revealing a green crystal. However, the crystal was too small compared to the pincer, and it couldn't pick it up at all.

Falconer's sharp eyes said, "There's something!" He scuttled out and grabbed the green crystal. After glancing at it, he flew back and handed it to Guo Shier. "There's nothing special about it. It's just a transparent piece of wood." He still didn't know how precious this thing was.

Guo Shier took it and carefully examined it.

It was a hexahedron with two pointed ends, like a crystal rod. It was about the thickness of an egg and half a foot long. There were dense talisman patterns on it, layer upon layer, as if they were formed by overlapping talismans. It looked very strange. Guo Shier exclaimed, "A fire can actually burn like this? This is too amazing. "

Since he could use talisman fire to burn the storage tree crystals, Guo Shier didn't hold back and burned all the way. Of course, he didn't burn randomly, but chose those that he liked. By chance, Guo Shier burned a piece of dark green crystal. He discovered that it was a ten-thousand-year-old storage tree.

Trying to sense it with his soul, Guo Shier finally discovered a secret. Any small tree that made the soul feel very comfortable was most likely a ten-thousand-year-old storage tree or close to it. This made him extremely happy.

Because there were too many storage trees, even with his soul sensing, Guo Shier felt dizzy. Fortunately, he had a lot of talisman fires. In the end, he simply released the Ancient Flame Bird to help him burn. Once a crystal was burned, the Ancient Flame Bird would bring it back to Guo Shier.

Two people, a bird, and a scorpion swept all the way. Guo Shier wasn't greedy. He left most of the small trees that weren't old enough and only collected the storage trees that were more than a thousand years old.

It was easy for Guo Shier to collect the storage trees, but Zhang Yaojin was in great pain. He didn't have a high-grade talisman fire. He only had the low-grade talisman fire he had obtained before, which was heterogeneous and impure. He needed to purify it with his soul. Although he was already a Saint Master, his talisman fire hadn't been purified, so the speed at which he burned the storage trees was very slow.

After spending more than two hours, Zhang Yaojin finally collected the first piece of storage tree. Moreover, the crystal he obtained was not pure enough, and there were still many impurities inside. He needed to use a high-grade talisman fire to purify it again.

Zhang Yaojin was a little selfish just now. He didn't know that Guo Shier had a large number of high-grade talisman fires, because many Saint Masters didn't have high-grade talisman fires. He thought that it was impossible for Guo Shier to have such a precious talisman fire. In order to not affect his collection speed, he proposed to split up.

Using talisman fire to purify the storage trees was very slow, so Zhang Yaojin had another method, which was to use the Plant Concealment Talisman to transplant them. He wasn't a glutton, so although he had the Plant Concealment Talisman, he didn't have many. He threw away all the plants in the Plant Concealment Talisman, and only transplanted a dozen or so storage trees. Even so, he still felt very satisfied.

The storage trees weren't everywhere, but were divided into several areas. The Ancient Talisman Sect was the largest area, and there were many smaller areas. In total, there were only a hundred or so mu of land. There were several thousand storage trees, and they all had different ages. Guo Shier had already walked out of the largest area, and didn't encounter any danger, which made him very surprised.

Walking out of the storage tree forest, Guo Shier discovered a withered forest not far away, and the sparse branches were especially glaring. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, because he remembered what Zhang Yaojin had said. Only after the ten thousand year storage tree naturally died would it be the best storage tree. He immediately urged the Dark Winged Magic Scorpion to rush over.

Guo Shier secretly prayed, "Please … please don't let it be ten thousand year storage tree …"
