Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Stolen Soul Tree
Shen Yuan picked out these five fragments from a dark cyan sea of stars and displayed them nearby, and his spiritual power slowly sank into them, exploring these five unfamiliar sacrificial seal fragments little by little, understanding the energy flow and the effects produced in them.
Two hours later, Shen Yuan basically understood the fragments of these five sacrificial seals, got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, and by the way, he absentmindedly called the guest room for lunch, and sat at the table while deducing the sacrificial seal, while waiting for the arrival of lunch.
These five sacrificial seal fragments did not seem profound and obscure to Shen Yuan, in fact, the level of these five sacrificial seal fragments did not touch the peak of Shen Yuan's previous realm at all, that is to say, Shen Yuan had the ability to learn these sacrificial seal fragments as early as when he had reached the Hetian Realm in his first sense.
But apparently, he didn't learn.
Is it because Zuer cherishes himself and secretly hides some knowledge and is unwilling to teach Shen Yuan?
Shen Yuan directly denied this possibility, and with Zuer's realm and temperament, he would definitely not hide his secrets from the only closed disciple who he personally admitted.
Then there was only one possibility left, these five sacrificial seal fragments had not appeared in the priest lineage of the Dragon Soul World before.
Compared to the thousands of sacrificial seal fragments that Shen Yuan mastered, Five didn't seem to be a gaze worth paying too much attention to.
But for Shen Yuan, this is a difference from nothing, which fully proves that there is still a lot of knowledge in the inheritance of the elemental priest that Shen Yuan does not know, and there is still a lot that Shen Yuan needs to learn and explore.
This is the door to a new world, which makes Shen Yuan feel like "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".
Another important point is that the sacrificial seals can actually be deduced from each other.
Experienced shamans can easily deduce compressed fragments of the wind element, inspiration fragments of the wind elemental, extracted fragments of the wind element, and so on, from the fragments of the condensed sacrificial seals of the wind element, up to one, several, or even dozens of complete elemental sacrificial seals from a fragment.
The knowledge that Shen Yuan obtained from Zuer was an establishment system, and formed a closed-loop priestly inheritance of knowledge. That is to say, these sacrificial seals, sacrificial patterns, sacrificial words, incantations and other unique means of priesthood are all the final inheritance veins obtained through complete deduction, and the interrelationship and mutual changes between each of them are very clearly explained, and they are the result of countless generations of hard work, and there is no possibility for Shen Yuan to continue to rise at the level of knowledge.
Unless he invents something of his own, such as his own modified Elemental Shock Technique, that's something Zur needs to learn from him in turn.
Seeing the five fragments of the sacrificial seals that he extracted from the cocoon and stripped silk from the sacrificial seals, Shen Yuan knew that this was knowledge that was vaguely independent of his inheritance, and many ways could be deduced from it.
Although he had expected it a long time ago, when this matter was really placed in front of Shen Yuan, he still felt quite a headache.
Once in the Dragon Soul World, he had his back against the big tree of Zur, where did he need to do such tedious academic research, which also caused him to actually have little experience in this.
Shen Yuan originally wanted to finish studying this sacrificial seal, and then explore the means of combining the void elements that the demon form had used against the Great Witch Qing, which was the real supreme means for the priest lineage.
But in front of him, there was a fragment of the sacrificial seal that Shen Yuan didn't know about before, and when Shen Yuan really ate it thoroughly and deduced it according to his imagination, he didn't know what year and month it would take.
Even with the blessing of the god form, this matter still consumes a lot of Shen Yuan's time.
After hastily eating lunch, Shen Yuan sat on the bed again, and first experimented with the newly learned sacrificial seal, although it was unfamiliar, but the power of this sacrificial seal had been initially shown, and eighty or ninety percent of the wind element energy condensed by Shen Yuan was transformed into incomparable thunder and lightning energy, and when Shen Yuan practiced it several times, after a period of pondering, he could naturally achieve the level of the demon form.
Then Shen Yuan tried to deduce the newly obtained five sacrificial seal fragments, and found that it was indeed not something that could be completed overnight, so he turned his gaze to the rest of the unclear knowledge.
He used a full three days, with the help of the god form, to thoroughly study the compression of the ritual seal when the demon form condensed the crimson thunder bead that day, this time he did not encounter any novel sacrificial seal fragments, and everywhere Shen Yuan looked at them, all of them were fragments that he had already learned, and the reason why it took so long this time was because the compression of elemental energy could not be achieved through a single sacrificial seal, so what Shen Yuan was actually facing was a means composed of dozens of sacrificial seals.
Shen Yuan had never seen such a combination before, even though the things in it were all familiar to Shen Yuan, it still took a lot of his time and energy.
Three days and nights passed, and even with the help of the divine form, Shen Yuan still felt irresistible exhaustion.
The state that had just been fully recuperated by him had become bad again, and Shen Yuan couldn't, so he had to fall asleep again after barely completing the research on compressing the sacrificial seal.
Due to physical and mental exhaustion, Shen Yuan slept very deeply, and when he slept for an unknown amount of time, when he woke up again, he found a chair next to the bed, and a beautiful woman sitting on the chair was looking at him intently.
This woman is Cheng Ruan, who didn't know when she went and returned.
"You...... You're back. Shen Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked indistinctly.
"Hmm......" Cheng Ruan looked at Shen Yuan with some concern and said, "Don't work too hard, cultivation is not a matter of one or two days, and if you want to be fast, you can't reach it." ”
Shen Yuan responded with a smile: "Okay, I know, I know it." I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing back home?"
Cheng Ruan glanced at Shen Yuan angrily, took out something from the astral storage totem hanging around his neck, threw it into Shen Yuan's arms, and said depressedly: "Go home and steal something." ”
Shen Yuan held the thing in his arms and looked at it, this turned out to be a high-grade wood that shimmered with a rich earthy yellow light!
He stared at the wood in his arms, then at Cheng Ruan, and suddenly came back to his senses and understood what was going on.
In an instant, Shen Yuan felt worried and moved, and hurriedly got up from the bed, hugged Cheng Ruan into his arms, and gently stroked her back, but he didn't know what to say.
Cheng Ruan quietly hugged Shen Yuan for a while, gently pushed him away, and said, "Go and be a totem pole, you are a priest, and you have a fire element totem on your body, which is too unusual." ”
Shen Yuan didn't follow his words, but put his arms around Cheng Ruan with his backhand, and carried out some inconvenient indescribable intimacy, and only after he had enough fun did he get up to study the earth element wood that he had thrown on the ground.
Shen Yuan didn't see through what the wood in his hand was for a while, and after some research, he looked at Cheng Ruan in surprise and asked, "Is this ...... This turned out to be a living spirit wood?"
The so-called spirit wood does not have specific attributes, but generally refers to the body left behind after the death of the tree.
It is based on the attributes of the living spirit tree spirit before its death, which is different, and the quality is also uneven, coupled with its extreme difficulty in obtaining and preserving, resulting in the rare occurrence of living spirit wood.
And the one that Shen Yuan was holding in his hand at this time could be called the best of the living spirit wood, not inferior to the Earth Bee Dragon King Wood he once had. It is conceivable that when this Soul Tree was still alive, it must have been an extremely powerful tree spirit.
Cheng Ruan shrank in a soft and thick quilt at this time, only showing a pair of eyes to look at Shen Yuan, hearing Shen Yuan's question, she nodded lightly and said, "This is a living spirit tree left behind after the death of a god of the wilderness that our druid tribe believed in thousands of years ago. Before his death, Lord Wood God made it clear that he would give back to the Druids with his body as a final gift, so that the Druids could collect his living wood, craft utensils, or build sacred sites in the clan. ”
"In the ancestral shrine of the Druid tribe, there are three buildings made of the living wood of the Wood God, and a tall stone monument is erected next to it, praising the noble character of the Wood God and making the disciples of the clan remember his existence forever. ”
"In our clan library, there is not much left, you act quickly, and when Cheng Kongyue kills him, he must do a good job, otherwise he will definitely take it back." ”
Hearing Cheng Ruan's words, Shen Yuan looked embarrassed and asked in a low voice, "Is this ...... Not so good...... Or pay it back to your uncle. ”
Cheng Ruan rolled his eyes slightly, shook his head and said: "There's nothing bad, the clan has no demand for this kind of wood now, and it hasn't used even one for many years, and if you throw it in the clan treasury, it will be ashes, so it's better to make the best use of it in your hands." Besides, you are the chief elder of the Giant Witch Clan, and you are your own person, so it is not a violation of the rules to do so. ”
"You can make do with both the water elemental and the wind elemental totem poles, especially if you have other artifacts on you. But the Earth Elemental Totem is a necessary means for you to summon cuttlefish balls, or your main means of defense, you must not cut corners, otherwise it will be bad. ”
"As for my father, when he comes, you pretend not to know that I stole it, show a very annoyed look, and buy it with him. ”
Cheng Ruan explained to Shen Yuan in a very calm tone her "big plan" to deceive her father.
"But...... But ......" Shen Yuan was still full of hesitation, and his mouth was hesitant, and he couldn't make up his mind at all.
Cheng Ruan glared at Shen Yuan and said unhappily: "Hey, I said what's the matter with you." My father is stupid, but my mother is not stupid, and when he comes, my mother will definitely know how much money she should want. As for those posturings, they just give each other a step down. ”
