Because of the fight of the four yin heroes, Xia and his party inadvertently broke into the underground cave where the bones of Zheshu were placed. The tragedy of 20 years ago has been confirmed, and the mood of the people is different.

And with Yao'er's surprise call, Xia and the others surrounded them all in unison. I saw Yao'er's eyes shining, staring at a small tree half a person tall without blinking. The small tree was already dry and black, and in some places it was rotten, bare without a single leaf. It's like you've just gone through a winter.

The corners of several people's eyes twitched, just such an inconspicuous little tree, usually thrown on the side of the road, no one will pay attention, Yao'er actually said that it was a baby.

Xia's heart was half cold, and she glanced at Yao'er angrily, "I thought you had found something good, but it turned out to be perfunctory to us!"

"That's it, Miss Yao'er, you managed to trick us. ”

"I was accidentally excited just now, and I almost didn't pee. ”......

Xia Xiaonan pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head, and didn't say anything more. Seeing that several people were disappointed one by one, Yao'er frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "It's really a baby, I didn't lie to you." ”

Jiang Xia was angry and funny, a tree that was about to rot could be a treasure, "Okay, Yao'er, I don't see anything here, let's go out early! The dead are the biggest, and it's not good to disturb the city lord of Zheshu here." ”

"Hmph, something that doesn't have long eyes. Yao'er was a little unhappy, glared at Jiang Xia fiercely, and then asked, "Have any of you ever seen a tree growing in the underground world? And Zheshu has been dead for twenty years, why is this tree only a small part rotten if it is not taken care of?"

Everyone was speechless, ordinary plants must photosynthesize with sunlight in order to grow, and it is indeed strange to appear here. Jiang Xia couldn't help but take a closer look at the small tree in front of him.

The trees are short, but they are as thick as bowls, and their thin trunks crisscross each other, and if you look closely, the branches are densely covered with various lines. Unlike the patterns of normal trees, the patterns of this tree look like strange runes.

"What a strange tree. Jiang Xia muttered, finally feeling that something in front of him was a little unusual.

"Hmph. Yao'er snorted dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but be stunned, touched his nose, and sneered, "Yao'er, what kind of treasure is this little tree?"

Yao'er's beautiful eyes turned, and she shook her head, looking confused, "I don't know! Isn't this just a broken tree?"

"Me?"

Seeing that Jiang Xia touched his nose, the four yin heroes and Xia Xiaodong all cast gloating eyes. Xia Xiaonan also smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and opened his red lips lightly, "I seem to have heard my grandfather talk about this kind of tree, I don't know if it's called "Gathering Spirit Wood". ”

"Huh, you know?" said Yao'er, a little surprised. After thinking about it, the other party was the eldest lady of the Xia family, and it was not surprising to know this.

From Yao'er's reaction, it can basically be confirmed that Xia Xiaonan guessed correctly. Jiang Xia opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of treasure is this Gathering Spirit Wood, is it on the artifact list?"

"Not really. Xia Xiaonan shook his head, "The function of this spirit gathering wood is that it can gather the power of heaven and earth together, and then use it for martial artists to absorb and increase their cultivation speed." ”

Jiang Xia couldn't help blurting out, "Isn't that similar to the Emperor Zun Stone?"

"The two do have similarities, but the Gathering Spirit Wood cannot be compared to the Emperor Stone. The Emperor Zun Stone can give birth to a steady stream of force, and the Gathering Spirit Wood can only be done every once in a while, and it has its own life cycle, which must be raised by the martial artist by force, otherwise it will slowly wither. ”

"I see. After Xia Xiaonan's explanation, the gap between the Gathering Spirit Wood and the Emperor Zun Stone that Xia couldn't help but feel was still very large. After all, the Emperor Zun Stone did not need to absorb the power of heaven and earth. And the Gathering Spirit Wood still needs to absorb it for a while before it can provide people with strength, and the two can be distinguished at a glance.

"Look at this Gathering Spirit Tree, it should be dead!" Hong Jun muttered as he leaned his face up, and tried to smell the branches with his nose.

Yao'er directly pushed Hong Jun away, "Who said that this spirit tree is dead? Miss Ben said that it is alive." ”

"Huh?" everyone was stunned, looking at each other with doubts. Jiang Xia shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and said softly, "Yao'er, if you have anything to say, just say it!

"Then do you dare to say that I lied to you?"

"Don't dare. Jiang Xia answered honestly, secretly thinking, obviously everyone suspected that she was a liar, why was she angry with herself, this woman's mind still needs to be pondered.

Only then did Yao'er show a satisfied look, "Okay! For the sake of your careful admission of mistakes, I will add a little more insight to your dirt bun." After a pause, he walked to the side of the Gathering Spirit Wood, "Although this Gathering Spirit Wood cannot be compared with the Emperor Zun Stone, it is one thing stronger than the Emperor Zun Stone." ”

"Oh?" the eyes of several people lit up, and they cheered up.

"The point that the Gathering Spirit Wood is stronger than the Emperor Zun Stone is that the power it absorbs for people every once in a while will be stronger than that of the Emperor Zun Stone, let me make a very simple analogy. Both of them are ordinary ninth-level martial artists, one absorbs the power in the Emperor Venerable Stone, and the other absorbs the power of the Gathering Spirit Wood, after ten days, the latter may be a half-step martial king, and the former may still be a ninth-level martial artist. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm!" Yao'er nodded affirmatively, "However, every time the Gathering Spirit Wood provides strength, its cooldown time will be relatively long, especially for the strong above the Martial Emperor, it is a drop in the bucket, and the supply exceeds demand, so although this Gathering Spirit Wood is magical, the difference between it and the artifact is still stretched." ”

Jiang Xia looked puzzled and asked, "Yao'er, according to what you said, only the absorbed Spirit Gathering Wood will help us improve our strength, but I can't feel the slightest fluctuation of power from this tree. It's been twenty years, it should have withered!" The four yin heroes also nodded in agreement.

"Dirt buns. Yao'er scolded lightly, she knew more about the Gathering Spirit Wood than Xia Xiaonan. "This Gathering Spirit Tree still has a trace of vitality, as for the reason why it has not withered for twenty years, it should be that after its heaven and earth spiritual power is saturated, no one has absorbed it, so it relies on the power it absorbs to support it. ”

"Isn't it possible to absorb it and provide for itself at the same time?"

Jiang Xia came to a shameless sentence, Yao'er hated it so much, almost a little crazy, and scolded angrily, "Why are you so stupid? Xiaonan said just now, there must be a martial artist to raise it by force, and now it has been twenty years, and it is already very good that it has not completely withered." ”

was scolded by Yao'er, Xia Xiaonan, Xia Xiaodong and others all held back their laughter. Jiang Xia spared his head, and only a strong smirk, "Hehe, Yao'er, there are so many people, you save me some face!"

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Yao'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. Several other people also couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. A few people laughed happily, and Xia was depressed alone.

"Ahem!" Yao'er stopped laughing, pursed her small mouth lightly, and then stretched out her slender white jade hand in front of Jiang Xia, "Give me the Emperor Zun Stone." ”

"Eh, what do you want the Emperor Zun Stone for?" Jiang Xia asked, but he still reached out to take out the Emperor Zun Stone from inside his clothes. Several people stopped suddenly, and they all knew that Xia had won the championship of the summoner competition and had obtained the fragments of the Emperor Zun Stone. But I've never seen it before.

"Well, I want to try to let the Gathering Spirit Wood absorb the power of the Emperor Venerable Stone and see how it works?" Yao'er said her thoughts. Gathering Spirit Wood and Emperor Stone, one is to absorb power, and the other is to create power. This just forms a special hub, if you can use the Gathering Spirit Wood to pull out the power of the Emperor Zun Stone, there may be an unexpected harvest.

handed Xia the Emperor Stone into Yao'er's hands, and everyone was obviously stunned. Xia Xiaonan and Xia Xiaodong knew something about this, and the latter couldn't help asking, "Isn't there only a quarter of the Beast Taming Sect, how can this be so big?"

"Hey, hey. Jiang Xia grinned and didn't explain much. Get a quarter in the Cloud City faction and a quarter in the summoner competition, and the combination of the two will naturally be big.

The four yin heroes didn't feel any difference, the four of them had only heard of the Emperor Zun Stone, and they hadn't seen it at all, even if Xia took out a stone casually, they wouldn't suspect anything.

The Emperor Stone exuded a rich golden light, and the warm touch conveyed from above, Yao'er's pretty face became a little solemn, her beautiful eyes flashed firmly, and then her hands were folded, and the Emperor Zun Stone was suspended in front of her, buzzing.

Under the surprised gaze of several people, Yao'er controlled the Emperor Zun Stone to separate a trace of golden light and rush towards the Gathering Spirit Tree, and the soft golden light surrounded the Gathering Spirit Wood like sunlight. The next second, something unbelievable happened.

The Gathering Spirit Tree, which was still lifeless just now, suddenly trembled, and the strange runes on the branches flashed brightly, and then the golden light emitted by the Emperor Zun Stone merged into the Gathering Spirit Wood.

Yao'er's heart was overjoyed, her palms changed a few postures, and the Emperor Zun Stone slowly left the place, and finally suspended directly above the Gathering Spirit Tree, and suddenly the Emperor Zun Stone was golden and prosperous, and the entire cave was illuminated as if it was day. And the Gathering Spirit Wood is like a hungry beggar, shaking the branches, greedily absorbing the rich golden spiritual power.

Jiang Xia and the others were a little sluggish, and even more amazing things were still to come. The runes on the torso of the Gathering Spirit Wood became brighter and brighter, and the originally dry branches slowly regained their vitality, and on the bare branches, new leaves began to grow, green and crystal clear, like patches of verdant jade.

"It's amazing. Jiang Xia shook his head and couldn't help but exclaim. Xia Xiaonan, Xia Xiaodong and the four yin heroes also showed shock.

Yao'er pinched Jiang Xia gently, blinking her big eyes, and looking very cute. Xia Yi pinched the other party's delicate little face, nodded and smiled.

After a few moments, the Gathering Spirit Wood became vibrant, and every leaf was full of life. Then tiny white dots of light floated out from the leaves, like flying fireflies.

Just when everyone was surprised, Yao'er hurriedly reminded, "Those points of light are the spiritual power of heaven and earth, don't be stunned! Hurry up and sit down to absorb these powers and improve your strength." ”
