"Silver Celestial Leaf!" Hayashikawa's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the few silver herbs growing at the roots of the Golden-Rimmed Phoebe Tree. The golden light and the silver light resonated with each other, flowing with a magnificent light.
Hayashikawa had always lacked this kind of high-quality herb, especially this kind of old herb that had been growing for hundreds or thousands of years. The huge amount of Plant Power could provide an endless stream of nutrients for the Fruit of the Sacred Tree, allowing his strength to greatly increase in a short period of time.
However, this kind of herb was too rare, especially in the outside world. Hayashikawa could hardly find such a herb. The Earth Level herbs that he had previously obtained from the Dayin Tower had all entered Hayashikawa's stomach, but these herbs were generally not old enough. Although there was a lot of Plant Power, it would quickly dissipate, making it difficult to continuously improve the Fruit of the Sacred Tree.
The herbs in front of him were different. If the Crown Prince's skeleton was right, these herbs were all associated with Golden-Rimmed Phoebe Trees that were more than ten thousand years old, which meant that they had been growing for at least a hundred years. For Hayashikawa, this was really a miracle herb that he could only wish for.
"You mean we should go in and pick the herbs first?" Luo Yuxi also understood the Crown Prince's meaning and asked thoughtfully.
"That's right! This is also the reason why I invited you to come together and get here as soon as possible! "The Crown Prince said without hiding anything.
"Although the power of the Golden-Rimmed Phoebe Tree will decrease as more people enter, this decrease is relative because the golden threads will extract the spiritual energy in our bodies. When they extract more spiritual energy, the power of the golden threads will increase, forming a virtuous cycle."
"So it's not that the more people entering the Golden-Rimmed Phoebe Tree, the better. We must step in at the right time, otherwise we will only become fertilizer for the Golden-Rimmed Phoebe Tree and be buried here forever."
"I agree with the Crown Prince's view. Now that there is no one, it's the best time for us to pick the herbs in the periphery. As long as we don't go too deep into the Golden-Rimmed Phoebe Tree and quickly retreat when we feel that our spiritual energy is insufficient, there will be no problem!" Hayashikawa said.
"Alright then! I also agree to enter! "Luo Yuxi said, gritting her teeth.
Although her injuries had not fully recovered, she was not willing to give up such a precious herb in front of her. She would not risk her life for it, but she would do her best. With the power of the Luo River's Divine Water, she would not be in danger as long as she did not venture too deep.
"So, it's a deal. Let's go in together?" the crown prince asked with a smile.
If it was only the Crown Prince, he wouldn't have dared to enter this ten-thousand-year-old golden-threaded cedar forest. If he was careless, he would be in danger of being sucked dry, so he didn't want to try.
"Let's go in together!" Hayashikawa and Luo Yuxi nodded simultaneously.
Immediately after, the three of them each found an area that was not too far apart from each other as the place where they would harvest the Silver Immortal Leaves. They did not dare to be too far apart, as that would not be able to share the danger.
"One … Two … Three … Start!"
As Hayashikawa's voice fell, the three of them rushed out together and went straight to the ten-thousand-year-old golden-threaded cedar forest. When their figures entered within a hundred meters of these trees, a golden light suddenly burst out. Countless golden threads spread out from the trees and wrapped around the three of them.
The terrifying aura made even Hayashikawa, who had experienced the golden-threaded cedar, palpitate. If a person were to step in rashly, even he would not dare to say that he could escape unscathed.
Buzz!
In just a moment, the golden threads had wrapped around Hayashikawa's body. The next moment, Hayashikawa's face changed slightly. The spiritual energy in his body began to leak out and was frantically absorbed by these golden threads.
In just a breath's time, one percent of his spiritual energy had been sucked away. According to this speed, Hayashikawa could only stay in this golden-threaded cedar forest for a little more than a minute. If he exceeded that time, he would be sucked dry by the trees and stay here forever.
"Sure enough, ordinary golden-threaded cedar trees can't be compared to it!" Hayashikawa thought to himself. The next moment, a purple light suddenly burst out from his body, resisting the extraction.
Hayashikawa did not use the immortal technique Chakra at this time because the spiritual energy contained in the immortal technique Chakra would also be sucked away. Therefore, Hayashikawa only used pure Chakra for defense. As a result, the extraction speed of the golden threads was greatly limited, leaving almost 30% of the original.
On the other side not far from Hayashikawa, a layer of golden light burst out from the body of the Crown Prince, completely covering his body and blocking the extraction of spiritual energy by the golden threads.
"He really did have a trick up his sleeve. I haven't seen this golden light before …" Hayashikawa thought to himself.
Compared to Hayashikawa's shock, the Crown Prince's corpse was the most shocked. He did not expect Mu Huiye, who he had met by chance, to be so strong. The purple light was not inferior to the golden light on his body, but it was precisely because of this that the Crown Prince's corpse was even more shocked.
This was because his golden light came from the Taiyi Daoist Scripture of the three origin scriptures. Hayashikawa's purple light was comparable to the Taiyi Daoist Scripture, so how could the Crown Prince's corpse not be shocked?
"It's not black or white, so it can't be the Mahākāśyapa Scripture or the Buddha Scripture. It should be a special defensive technique. I really didn't expect this …" the Crown Prince thought to himself. However, after confirming that it was not the other two origin scriptures, the Crown Prince's corpse temporarily put Hayashikawa aside and began to walk step by step toward the nearest Silver Immortal Leaf.
Hayashikawa and the Crown Prince's speed were equal. Under the restriction of the golden threads, every step they took required great effort. It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on them. The two of them used all their strength and walked forward step by step.
Compared to the two of them, Luo Yuxi's speed was much slower. A circle of blue ripples rippled around her body, and icy-blue water slowly flowed around her. This was the power of the Luo River Divine Water in her body.
However, although the Luo River Divine Water was miraculous, compared to the Taiyi Daoist Scripture of the Crown Prince's corpse, Hayashikawa's Chakra was much inferior. In addition to Luo Yuxi's injuries, her speed was more than half of the two of them. Basically, she could only take one step for every two steps Hayashikawa took.
"Haha, it looks like Brother Huiye is really strong!" the Crown Prince said with a laugh.
"Likewise!" Hayashikawa replied with a chuckle. The two of them had picked their first Silver Immortal Leaf at almost the same time.
Just as the two of them were secretly competing, a handsome young man in a moon-white robe slowly walked out of the Golden Phoebe Cedar forest. He held a tattered mahogany board in his hand, and his eyes were clear.
