This should be a broken branch from a subspecies of the Fusang Tree. However, even so, it was still very valuable. This was because this type of tree was intelligent and knew how to cultivate.
If it was an older Spirit Tree, it would be even stronger than a regular cultivator. According to legend, the Fusang Tree was as strong as Emperor Wu.
Why is no one buying such a good thing? Xiao Chen thought doubtfully, Could it be that the price is too high?
"This is a broken branch from a thousand-year-old Wutong Tree. I need a Red Nascent Fruit. I will only exchange it, not sell it. If there is none, I will use it myself."
The bark of the Wutong Tree was green like jade, and its leaves were like flowers. It was beautiful and elegant, and had natural Spiritual Energy. According to legend, when the leaves fell to the ground, they would turn into golden leaves. Even the Divine Phoenix of the Ancient Era did not perch on this tree.
Although it could not compare to the Fusang Tree, it was still a famous Spirit Tree. If it really existed for a thousand years, then just one of its branches would be worth a lot.
Not only could it be used to refine medicine, but it could also be used to directly absorb the Spiritual Energy from it. It could even be used to raise a cultivator's cultivation. Or it could be made into an accessory and worn on the body. It could also calm the mind and calm the mind, allowing one to achieve twice the results with half the effort when cultivating.
When Xiao Chen heard that this person wanted to exchange for the Red Nascent Fruit, he was excited. His expression did not change as he searched the Universe Ring with his Spiritual Sense. Soon, he found the item in a corner.
He could not help but rejoice. Since he obtained this item in the periphery of Seven Horn Mountain, he had not used it. He had nearly forgotten about it. He did not expect it to be so useful here.
"I'll pay eighty Spirit Stones for this item. Is that possible?" someone asked eagerly.
Eighty Spirit Stones was already a very high price to buy this incomplete Wutong Spiritual Wood.
However, that Beichen Peak disciple shook his head and said, "No, I urgently need the Red Nascent Fruit to cultivate. The Red Nascent Fruits on Jade Maiden Peak are not ripe yet. I can only try my luck here. If there are none, then I will use this Wutong Tree for myself."
Thinking about it, he was a core disciple of Beichen Peak and should not lack Spirit Stones. Just the stipend of a core disciple was much higher than that of an ordinary disciple. In addition to the missions he completed, he should have enough Spirit Stones.
The man was unwilling, but he still shook his head and left. The onlookers also slowly dispersed. Although a Spirit Herb like the Red Nascent Fruit was not rare, it took several decades for it to ripen. Obtaining it required luck.
Seeing the crowd slowly disperse, the Beichen Peak core disciple revealed a disappointed expression. He got up and prepared to pack up and leave.
Xiao Chen quickly went over and said, "Wait a moment, I have a Red Nascent Fruit. I wonder if I can exchange it with you?"
When the Beichen Peak disciple heard this, he rejoiced and said, "If it is a ripe Red Nascent Fruit, I am willing to exchange for it with more Spirit Stones. If it is not ripe, you will have to add some Spirit Stones."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he took out the Red Nascent Fruit from his Universe Ring and handed it over. The red fruit gave off a fragrance and a dense Spiritual Energy assaulted the nose. Its glass-like surface seemed to have a fiery glow.
"A matured Red Nascent Fruit! It's really matured!" That person had an excited expression on his face as he said, "My name is Fang Ning. Thank you for the Red Nascent Fruit. I will give you another ten Inferior Grade Spirit Stones."
Fang Ning was incomparably happy in his heart. He had been stuck at peak Martial Grand Master for a very long time. Because he cultivated a fire-attributed Cultivation Technique, he had been unable to break through. Now that he had the Red Nascent Fruit, advancing to Martial Saint was just a matter of time.
He did not expect to be able to obtain ten Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. This was a pleasant surprise. Xiao Chen carefully put away the Spirit Stones and Wutong Spiritual Tree that Fang Ning handed over. His face also revealed a joyful expression.
He had been searching for similar Spiritual Trees for a very long time. However, he always ended up with nothing. Reality proved that the Life Bestowal Spell was most effective when using Spiritual Wood. Even the beast horn, which was filled with Spiritual Energy, could not compare to it.
After obtaining the Red Nascent Fruit, Fang Ning immediately packed up his stall and left. He could not wait to leave the market and prepare to enter closed-door cultivation.
Xiao Chen stopped this person and said, "Brother Fang, can you tell me where you found this Wutong Spiritual Tree?"
Fang Ning stopped and shook his head. He said sincerely, "Brother, it is best that you do not know. That place is extremely dangerous. I went there with my master. The tree has already turned into a spirit; it is not easy to deal with."
After he spoke, he left without looking back. No matter how Xiao Chen called out to him, he did not stop.
Xiao Chen was slightly disappointed. He looked at the sky and saw a large patch of burning clouds in the west. The sunset dyed the entire sky red; it was already dusk.
As it was still early, Xiao Chen decided to continue going to the official shops of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to see if there were any good items.
About two hundred meters behind him, there was a sinister gaze staring at Xiao Chen. This person was the person who wanted the Saber-Toothed Tiger's beast horn.
"You caused me to be unable to complete my master's mission. I want to see who you are. How dare you snatch something that I am interested in."
Feeling that gaze, Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense. When he saw the appearance of this person, he smiled faintly and ignored him. He continued walking forward.
There were very few people in the official shops; it was not as lively as the free market. Xiao Chen took a quick look and was not interested in it.
The items sold here were very expensive. They were all herbs, Medicinal Pills, Martial Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and the like. They might be of interest to others, but to Xiao Chen, they were of no interest.
Xiao Chen had the Battle Sage Origins; he could imitate all the Martial Techniques in the world. If it was not an extremely rare Martial Technique, he would not be interested in it. As for Medicinal Pills and Medicinal Herbs, he needed to prepare them when he was cultivating. Now was not the time yet.
Xiao Chen only bought a few good quality antidotes for emergencies. After that, he did not buy anything else. He left the place in disappointment.
Xiao Chen was about to depart at dawn. He intended to find a desolate place and spend the night there. There was no need to care too much about one night.
When Xiao Chen was about to leave the market, a figure quickly charged at him, trying to stop him before he left the market.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and locked onto the person behind him with his Spiritual Sense. A huge black hand appeared from nowhere. Xiao Chen clenched his fist and grabbed that person.
Xiao Chen casually waved his hand and tossed that person high into the air. Then, he landed on the ground with a loud 'bang.' The huge black hand descended from the sky again. It clenched its fingers into a fist and punched continuously. It only stopped after that person vomited blood and fainted.
From start to finish, Xiao Chen did not turn around. He withdrew his hand and quickly left this place. This person was just a wretched tramp, yet he dared to stop him. He was simply reckless.
Under a towering tree on the Heaven Viewing Platform, Xiao Chen looked up at the lush tree and revealed a satisfied expression. I'll spend the night here.
He pushed off the ground and leaped onto a branch of the tree. Then, he changed into a comfortable position and lay down. Xiao Chen took out a carving knife and the Saber-Toothed Tiger's horn and prepared to start carving.
Xiao Chen had never seen the Saber-Toothed Tiger before. Hence, he could not use the Life Bestowal Spell. The materials to carve the Golden Lion King were not right.
Furthermore, the Golden Lion King was too big. If he used it to carve, he would only be able to carve a flawed Golden Lion King. It was not worth it.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen measured the size of the beast horns. In the end, he decided to carve five Rank 5 Ice Apes. The Rank of the Ice Apes was not too high. It was easier to control them, and it would exhaust less Essence.
The Ice Apes were only Martial Saints. However, when there were more of them, their combat prowess could not be underestimated. After Xiao Chen made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He leaned against the tree and started to carve seriously.
"Shua!
Shua! "Xiao Chen infused his Essence into the carving knife. Bone shards fell off the white horns continuously. He recalled the appearance of the Ice Apes in his mind. His hands moved like flowing water as he carved.
Xiao Chen's carving skills had already reached the acme of perfection. Not long after, an exquisite sculpture of an Ice Ape appeared in his hands.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and placed it in the Universe Ring. Then, he continued to carve. When he finished carving the five sculptures, the sky had already turned dark; night had already fallen.
Xiao Chen took out the Wutong Spiritual Wood and observed it carefully. Then, he carefully placed it in the Universe Ring. This item could only be found and not sought. Xiao Chen did not want to waste it; it would be useful in the future.
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation. The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation slowly circulated and the dense Spiritual Energy in the surroundings immediately poured into his body.
The density of the Lingyun Mountain Range's Spiritual Energy was truly tempting. Xiao Chen sighed in his heart again. No wonder it made people yearn for it. Cultivating here for a year was equivalent to cultivating outside for three years.
The Spiritual Energy circulated in his body for a great cycle. Finally, it gathered in the Dantian where his Martial Spirit was. Within that strange space, it fell like rain, pouring into the surging river.
When he was a Martial Disciple, the source of his Essence was a few white clouds. When he was a Martial Master, it was a clear pond. Now that he was a Martial Grand Master, it had turned into a gushing river.
Every time he advanced a realm, the density of the Spiritual Energy in his body would increase exponentially. It was extremely horrifying, causing Xiao Chen to feel both shocked and happy.
The amount of Essence that Xiao Chen could use now was something that no one within the Martial Grand Master realm could compare to. Furthermore, the purity of his Essence was also much higher than that of regular cultivators.
Such a good thing was indeed a pleasant surprise. However, if one were to ask about it, they would not know the reason for it.
The only thing Xiao Chen could be sure of was that it was not because he cultivated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation was only a Cultivation Technique. According to the records in the Compendium of Cultivation, such a phenomenon would not occur.
If he really wanted to find the reason, he could only look for it from the Blue Dragon in the river. However, the Xiao Clan's inheritance was broken long ago. There was no way to find out about this.
Perhaps Feng Feixue, who was in the Imperial Capital, would have some understanding. However, she was temporarily unable to go there. Since he could not figure it out, he could not be bothered to think about it. Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and entered a state of cultivation.
Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the leaves and shone on Xiao Chen's face, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and took a deep breath. After a night of cultivation, his mental state had returned to its peak.
The medicinal energy of the Blood Replenishing Pill had already completely permeated into his body. The injuries from yesterday had completely healed. His mental state had returned to its peak.
"Hu Chi!"
Suddenly, the wooden token at his waist started to shake non-stop. With a 'weng' sound, it flew out. Xiao Chen understood in his heart. The people from the Hall of Contributions were urging him to depart.
"Bang!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to land on the ground, a petite figure beat him to it and jumped down from the top of the tree. She stretched lazily on the ground and turned her head to smile at Xiao Chen. Then, she quickly left in a flash.
Xiao Chen did not expect that he would meet someone with the same intentions as him in a random tree. He cursed himself for being careless in his heart. Before he came, he should have used his Spiritual Sense to scan the area. If this person had bad intentions, he might have been in danger last night.
