The two of them didn't encounter too much resistance along the way. Not long after, Zhou Xiang led the way to the end of the path.
This was a garden-like stone room with a radius of about 300 to 400 meters. In the middle was a spiritual tree with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 100 meters. It was surrounded by accompanying spiritual grasses. Seeing this, Zhou Xiang was overjoyed and said, "When we reach the center, we will plant the Profound Sky Wood. If you want to take a piece of the Profound Sky Wood core, you must break the trunk and take a piece of its root."
Yi Tian looked at the Profound Sky Wood and said without changing his expression, "Is there any taboo to take this wood core?"
Zhou Xiang said with a smile, "Brother Yi, you must know that water overflows when it is full, and the moon loses when it is full. You can't do anything too overboard. Although this Profound Sky Wood is only about 20,000 years old, its core is at most less than a foot, and most of the accompanying spiritual plants rely on it to grow. If the spiritual power of the Profound Sky Wood is lost too much, it will definitely affect the other spiritual plants. I hope you can understand. "
After Zhou Xiang said this, Yi Tian looked at the Profound Sky Wood in front of him again. He remembered that he had seen the Divine Divine Tree Jianmu when he was in the lower realm, but in terms of vitality, it was definitely not as strong as the Profound Sky Wood in front of him.
Moreover, since it could take root here, it meant that the spirit vein here was extremely rich. It was an excellent place to cultivate.
But now it seemed that he was only here to take the Profound Sky Wood core, so what Zhou Xiang said was quite reasonable. He couldn't take away all the wood cores here. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to cut off the vitality of those accompanying spiritual plants.
After thinking about it, he asked, "I wonder if Fellow Zhou found the spiritual plants you need on this trip?"
"The Soul Returning Grass I'm looking for is not far from the Profound Heavenly Wood. Fellow Daoist Yi, please stand guard for me and let me get the grass first." With that said, Zhou Xiang did not hold back. He reached out and took out a foot-long medicinal shovel before lightly leaping up. He flew to a place not far from the crown of the Profound Sky Wood, then he used the medicinal shovel in his hand to dig at the roots of a young three-leaf spiritual plant.
Not long after, he played around in mid-air, and three mature Resurrection Grasses appeared in his hand. He took out a jade box and stored them in it. Then, he turned around and flew back.
When he saw Yi Tian, he said, "Brother Yi, I've finished my task. It's your turn now. However, the trunk of the Black Heaven Spiritual Tree is not ordinary. Whether you can obtain the wood core will depend on your luck."
"It doesn't matter. I'll try my best." After saying that, Yi Tian leaped into the air and flew near the roots of the Black Heaven Spirit Tree.
After a purple light flashed in his eyes, he immediately used the Heavenly Demon Eye Technique to examine the thick tree trunk in front of him.
Three breaths later, he sighed and thought to himself, 'As expected, this Profound Heaven Spirit Wood is quite extraordinary. Through my eye technique, I can see that the wood core of this ordinary-looking Profound Heaven Spirit Wood is completely translucent and green, just like the jade that grows beside high-grade spirit stones.'
Gently taking out the Taiyuan Sword, Yi Tian raised his hand in the air, and then used the Condense Void Technique to first split the spirit sword into thousands of thin threads, and then reformed it into a green light sword. Patrolling the weak points near the roots of the Black Heaven Spirit Wood, he did not hesitate to chop down.
After a 'zila' sound, the Taiyuan Light Sword cut a three feet long hole near the roots. The hole was at least ten feet deep, reaching the center of the roots.
Suddenly, a majestic wood spirit power came out from the cut. Yi Tian was delighted. He changed his hand sign and controlled the light sword to cut a foot long from the emerald green wood core.
Seeing that this attack had changed hands, Tian Tian did not hesitate to reach out and hurriedly control the light sword to retrieve the Profound Heaven Wood Core.
At the same time, his other hand took out a black cold jade box from his storage ring and opened the lid. When the Black Heaven Wood Core was not far from his body, he grabbed it and put it into the jade box. After closing the lid, he did not forget to stick a sealing talisman to prevent spirit power from leaking out.
After doing this, he slowly opened the door and looked back at the Profound Heaven Spirit Wood. At this moment, it seemed to be damaged, and the spirit power on the trunk was not as abundant as before.
On the side, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Yi is really kind. In this way, after a few thousand years, the missing tree core will be filled again. It can be considered as leaving behind a blessed land for future generations."
"Fellow Zhou is too kind. I just know that it is appropriate, and I won't take it recklessly. This Profound Heaven Spirit Wood is very old. If I really dug out all of its tree core, I fear this Hundred Herb Corridor will no longer exist. Even if I don't come here again, I can at least leave behind something for my descendants to remember. Why not? "Yi Tian smiled faintly as he spoke.
"In this way, you and I have fulfilled our wish. This old man also wants to leave as soon as possible. I don't want to stay any longer. What does Brother Yi think?" Zhou Xiang changed the topic.
"Of course. This time, it is also thanks to Fellow Zhou's great help. However, please keep the Asura Blood Vine a secret. Do not mention it to anyone else," Yi Tian said with a serious expression.
"Of course, of course. I will remember Brother Yi's advice." Zhou Xiang also said with a serious face. For a rogue alchemist like him, he was not willing to be involved in the power struggle of the royal family. Therefore, he hurriedly expressed his position to make Yi Tian feel at ease.
Thinking about it, King Xun's son was still on the other path. If he left like this, it would be inappropriate. After thinking about it, Yi Tian said, "Fellow Zhou, now that you have fulfilled your wish, please leave first and wait at the entrance of the cave. Take me to find King Xun's son and bring him out of the cave. It is better for the three of us to go back together to avoid any misunderstandings later. "
After listening, Zhou Xiang kept nodding and replied, "Brother Yi is right. In this case, this old man will go out of the cave and wait in the valley. After you find King Xun's son, quickly leave the cave. "
Then the two turned around and rushed all the way until they reached the fork in the road just now. After Zhou Xiang said goodbye, he directly went back the way he came. As for Yi Tian, he walked along the other path again. After walking for a while, he suddenly found traces of fighting.
Walking forward to check it, it seemed to be the remains of stone puppets. However, it was different from the ones Zhou Xiang encountered before. These were all humanoid puppets. Moreover, they were all humanoid puppets of the Asura Clan.
The ground was littered with puppet body parts of various sizes. Looking carefully, they all came from the same body.
It was obvious that King Xun's son only encountered one puppet here. However, he also spent a lot of effort to barely pass through. On the ground, there were many traces of the Xuanyin Primordial Water on the wounds of the broken puppet body parts.
Walking forward, the long and narrow path led straight into the distance. After walking for an hour, Yi Tian found that there were two more paths in front of him. Using his spiritual will, he found that both paths had large amounts of icy cold air remaining. As a result, he was unable to distinguish which path King Xun's son took.
