On the battlefield of Cuihai Valley, a hook lock was released on the airship, and a black jade scorpion corpse with 5 and 6 rings was caught into the airship.

Several corpses of the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King were divided among several Great Ao Mages.

Duke also got one.

"Your Excellency Duke, the eldest of my family said that after you go back, you will send someone to pull back the corpse of the Black Jade Scorpion King." The people of Keystone, a 2-ring arcane mage, came and spoke.

Duke nodded, "Thank you, Lord Keystone, for me." ”

It took half a day for the airship brigade to completely wipe out the black jade scorpion clan in Cuihai Valley, and the mercenary groups on the periphery who received the news also rushed to clean up the other spirit insects.

In the evening.

The Arcanes, led by Keystone Fury, gathered around the edge of the small lake of the Fountain of Spirits and began to discuss how to mine the Fountain of Spirits.

"This spiritual fountain has been damaged by the earthquake, and if you want to restore it to a large spiritual spring, you must dredge the passage of the spiritual spring. After dredging, according to the scale of the escape of the spiritual spring, the urban construction layout of Cuihai City can be carried out. ”

Erwin said.

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter first, the effect of the spirit fixing powder is about to pass, so let's invite the ancient spirit in the spring first." Keystone waved his hand and made a decision.

"What should I do with those two tree kings?" Farling Tower's Chief Director Oruqi asked.

"If you can keep it, if you can't keep it, you will cut it down and make it into spiritual materials, and in the future, Cuihai City will prepare to build five towers, and you need a lot of materials."

"Chop?"

Duke raised his brow.

The value of the 3-ring tree king is huge, and cutting it down is undoubtedly the most wasteful way to use it.

However, the 3-Ring Tree King is too large, especially if it grows on the edge of the Spiritual Spring, which is indeed easy to hinder the mining of the Spiritual Spring.

In addition, the 3-ring tree king can make people understand the mysteries of magic.

It's just that ordinary people don't have the opportunity to comprehend at all - looking at the entire Black Jiaohe region, including Duke, the number of people who have comprehended the mysteries of the 3-ring tree king - the mysterious vine is definitely not more than five.

And after comprehending, it doesn't seem to be of much use.

At least Duke's only time so far that the Guardian Mystic Vine has played a role has been when the Worm Ocean erupted, protecting the stability of the Spirit Sea for him. But in fact, even without the Guardian Mystic Vine, the Ocean of Worms may not really be able to hurt him.

Those phantoms of the ancient era, at most, caused a certain impact on his body, making him seriously ill, and he could recover his health after a while of cultivation.

So.

In most cases, the treatment of the 3-ring tree king by the arcane mages is to keep it if it can be kept, and if it can't be kept, it is quickly cut down and made into spiritual materials.

Duke left the lake and walked towards the First Tree King.

On the edge of the spiritual spring of the Green Sea Valley, there are two tree kings, one on the east bank and one on the west bank.

The king of trees on the east bank is a pine tree that has grown for tens of thousands of years, and is named the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower; The king of trees on the west bank is only 50 meters tall, less than a quarter of the height of the 10,000-year-old pine tower, but the canopy of the tree covers the sky and the sun, and there are countless aerial roots underneath, which is named the green banyan forest.

At this moment, Duke was standing at the root of the 3-ring tree king-10,000-year-old pine tower, looking up, and through the sparse branches, he could almost see the top.

The closest branch to the ground is nearly 20 meters high.

At its roots, a large part of it is already bare, intertwined, and has huge tabular root protrusions.

Duke gripped the trunk of the tree, and the fighting energy condensed in his hands, like a suction cup, firmly absorbing the trunk. Then, like an ape, he easily climbed to the first branch. The branch was at least five meters thick, but the tip had been broken off, and only half of it remained.

Standing on it is as if you were standing on flat ground.

While the other arcane mages were discussing how to develop this spiritual fountain by the lake, Duke simply sat cross-legged on the branch.

"Chick, come out and work!"

Duke patted his belly, and then a big green-skinned tadpole yawned and condensed, kicking his own pair of small short legs, wandering in the air: "What are you doing, it's not time to cultivate yet!" ”

"Look over there."

"Which side?" The chick followed Duke's direction and saw a small triangular lake and a large number of arcane mages.

"Do you remember anything?"

"Nope." The chick shook her head, "What are those arcane mages doing around the lake, are they going to take a bath?" ”

"You don't even know about this fountain of spirituality?" Duke was surprised, "Chick, this is the spiritual fountain where your grandmother lives, don't you remember?" ”

"Ahh The chick exclaimed, "My grandma! ”

"I finally remember."

"Nope!" The chick said excitedly, "It's all my grandma looking for me to play, how do I know what my grandma's place is like!" ”

It rubbed its head against Duke's neck: "Duke Duke, hurry up and get my grandma out, I'm about to kill my grandma!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Duke touched the chick's head and soothed, "Master Keystone will help me rescue your grandma, and he will quietly send your grandma over when the time comes, so now we just have to wait." ”

"Really, great!"

"What I promised you, when have I never done it."

"Duke, you're awesome!" The chick took a sip on Duke's face, no spitting, only a cool and cool feeling of jade moisture.

Duke smiled and said, "Knowing my good, don't merge quickly, I want you to help me practice, and strive to comprehend the mystery of the two tree kings as soon as possible!" ”

"Hmm!" The chick bites Duke's finger.

Then it turned into a puddle of green liquid and merged into Duke's body, and the next moment, Duke's body changed and entered the elf form.

Lifting the hood of the arcane robe, Duke quietly settled down, quietly performing the breathing method, and establishing breathing resonance with the 3-ringed tree king-10,000-year-old pine tower.

In a flash.

The breathing became long, and the quarrel of the arcane mages not far away was also left behind. The position of the sea of qi in the lower abdomen began to churn, and the whole person followed the breathing rhythm of the Ten Thousand Years Song Tower, entering a mysterious and mysterious realm.

His mind is like a bird.

A bird flies to the edge of a circular lake, pecks lightly, and sprinkles the water onto its own feathers.

The lake water seems to have a cleaning function, making its originally dull feathers instantly brighten.

The bird flew up satisfied, and on the way up it pulled a bubble of, and one of the seeds fell into the dirt by the lake.

In the years of ignorance, the seed germinated and grew, growing into the same towering tree as it was around.

Suddenly.

In the midst of the passage of time, a huge monster crawled from a distance, and this monster could not see the whole picture, only that it was like a maggot, trying to enter the circular lake. The lake seems to react, rippling out of the circle and rippling.

Then countless spirit beasts poured in from all directions, and moths attacked the maggot monster like a fire, and I don't know how many spirit beasts died.

The maggot monster was finally defeated, shedding a tattered shell and fleeing the place.

Polluted by the shell of maggots, the surrounding trees died one by one, but this pine tree retained its last breath and survived, breathing jade dew and soaking in the sun with other new trees, and growing vigorously.

The winds of change.

The maggots' shedding shells have long since been buried in the dust, and the circular lake has also been transformed into a triangular lake in a major earthquake.

And this pine tree, finally one day, grew into the 3-ring tree king - the 10,000-year-old pine tower.

At this moment, through the collision between spirits, Duke felt the long trajectory of the 10,000-year-old pine tower.

It can't think, it doesn't have wisdom.

But every day I fully enjoy all the nutrients, just to make myself grow bigger, bigger, and then survive all kinds of disasters, still lush and green.

"Whew!"

Duke broke free from the positive atmosphere of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, and his whole person was infected by this atmosphere, and his heart was full of positivity.

Trees may not be able to think, but they have emotions.

"Thank you, Wannian Pine Tower, for your gift. If I could, I would dissuade others from cutting you down. Duke stood up from the branches, faced the towering tree, and bowed lightly, expressing gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Just like he had comprehended the 3-Ring Tree King - Mystic Vine before, he had comprehended the 3-Ring Tree King - 10,000-year-old Pine Tower at this moment.

And got the gift of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower.

It was in the sea of qi, above the clouds, another seed sprouted and grew into a small pine tree, which was a spiritual seed, a gift that only the king of trees could give—or understood as a kind of projection, and Duke imprinted the projection of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower in the sea of qi.

The sea of qi changed rapidly, and the mysterious vine spiritual seed that could only lie on the clouds saw the Ten Thousand Years Pine Pagoda at this moment, and quickly climbed up.

Grow with the spiritual seed of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower.

And the next moment.

Duke suddenly felt something in his heart, and sat down cross-legged again, quietly looking at Linghai.

There are a total of eleven visions in the spiritual sea, born and destroyed all the time, and there are guardian mysteries entangled with these visions.

At this time, in the center of the 2-ring spirit core, which should have been the location of the twisted ring, a pine tree quietly grew until it grew into a towering tree.

There is no vision of the ubiquitous vision of the Guardian Mystery, only a lone towering pine tree, standing in the center of the core.

A moment later.

A vague message echoed from the pine vision: "Restless! The eternal pine tower of ten thousand years! ”

"It's ...... The Immortal Eternal Pine Tower, the same as the Vine of Guardian Mystery...... Arcanum! Duke captured the message of this new vision from the spirituality emanating from the pine vision, "Self-improvement and unyielding, not forgetting the original intention, this is a lock on the twisted ring!" ”

In the Circle of Distortion, there is his true heart, and as long as he does not lose his original heart, he will not be lost in the path of spiritual arcane law and become a sinking demon.

And now, with the addition of the Immortal Immortal Pine Tower, his true heart will be better protected.

"That's good!"

Duke, in the form of an elf, bowed to the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower again, expressing his gratitude to this life that had lived for countless years.

Then with a high spirit, he jumped down from the branches.

"Duke, what are you doing?" Kyria Fury also left the crowd and came to the bottom of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower.

"I'll take a look at these two tree kings, Kiriya, you might as well give it a try, maybe there will be unexpected gains." Duke said.

"Did you get it?"

"Hmm."

"Ahh Kiria was stunned, "You really understood?" ”

"Yes, this 10,000-year-old pine tower...... Forget it, this can't be said, saying it will affect the rhythm of your comprehension. You'd better immerse yourself in it and feel the spirituality of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Pagoda so that you can get its gifts. Duke said earnestly.

However, I feel that it is difficult for Kiria to comprehend.

He is a fellow practitioner of the Three Seas, and he has the sea of qi to perform the breathing method, and with the help of the connection of the power of nature, he can enter the same rhythm as the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower.

Coupled with the blessing of the elven form, this can be easily gifted.

Kilia only opened the spiritual sea, and the process of comprehending the Ten Thousand Years Pine Pagoda could only rely on the collision of spirituality itself.

"I'm ......" Kiria was a little unconfident, especially in front of Duke, "let's give it a try." ”

She has been exposed to the mysterious vine she grew up with since she was a child, but she has not been able to comprehend any mysteries, let alone the 10,000-year-old pine tower that she has only encountered now.

"Give it a try, and there is nothing to lose if you succeed or not." Duke encourages Kiria to come and feel now.

He also instructed the two 2-Ringed Phantom Beast Knights who accompanied him to protect Kiria, and then he walked to the other side of the small lake.

The ordinary plants in this vicinity have been cut down by the mercenary group one after another.

However, the three-ring tree king, the green banyan forest, is itself a single tree, like a green forest covering the west bank of the spiritual spring.

Easily finding the trunk of the green banyan forest, Duke quietly climbed a branch and sat down cross-legged.

In the same way as the Eternal Pine Tower, close your eyes and perform the breathing method.

In a trance.

The familiar feeling haunted his heart again, and he fell into the perspective of the Tree King, as if it was the spirit condensed in this Tree King, bringing Duke into the whirlpool of time. A moment of 10,000 years, directly from the years of ignorance began to reminisce.

At first, everything was dark, and it was still a tree king in the form of seeds, wrapped in a thick layer of soil around him, and he couldn't even germinate.

Until one day.

A massive earthquake cracked the earth's surface, and it finally got a bit of space, sprouted, grew, and soon grew into a forest.

Countless spirit animals roost around it, birds build nests on it, squirrels burrow into it, fish swim around its air roots when the water rises, and small beasts eat its leaves to satisfy their hunger when they dry up...... It is an ecosystem for every tree.

Accompanied by birds, beasts, insects and fish, it feeds on sunshine and rain.

The life of the green banyan forest is so plain, it is much younger than the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, it has not experienced the invasion of ancient evil things, but sprouted in the earthquake, and the spiritual spring around it has always maintained a triangular shape.

Special sensations come and go quickly.

Duke opened his eyes and smiled again: "Smooth, I'm in elven form, comprehending the mysteries of the Tree King is as harmonious as water and milk. ”

In the sea of air.

On a single cloud, the spiritual seed of the green banyan forest has sprouted into a small banyan tree.

"The three spiritual seeds are one step forward before I build the elf paradise." Duke sighed slightly in his heart, "It's a pity that elves are hard to find, and wild elves are even rarer. ”

Shake your head.

The next moment, as soon as his heart moved, he closed his eyes and looked inwardly at the spiritual sea.

The new mystery has formed a vision in the spiritual sea, which is a banyan tree that grows from the ring-shaped spirit core, the branches continue to extend, and then hang down countless aerial roots, shrouding small wildflowers, ants, sea scorpions, and other visions in the shade of the tree.

"Affinity, Banyan Forest." Duke had already received the information from the banyan tree through its spirituality.

The Vine of Guardian Mysteries can protect Duke's spiritual sea from the impact of the Ancient Void.

The Immortal Pine Tower can protect Duke's heart and will not be easily lost.

And the affinity green banyan forest makes his spirit sea and spirit core more friendly to spirit plants and spirit beasts, making it easier for him to improve his understanding of spiritual mysteries in these two aspects.

"Hmm!" Duke pondered silently, "In other words, the Affinity Green Banyan Forest has given me a little more talent in the beast taming realm and the spirit plant realm. If I tamed a beast or cultivated a spirit plant, it would be easier for me than a normal arcane mage, and it would be easier for me to progress. ”

No doubt.

This is a very powerful "mystery".

"The three mysteries, the Guardian Mysteries Vine and the Immortal Eternal Pine Tower, do not embody any obvious effects. Only the affinity and green banyan forest have directly helped my practice, very good, very good! Duke thought about it and clapped his hands.

Quickly disarm the elven form.

didn't reach the limit, so after the chick condensed his body, he was still in good spirits: "Duke, has my grandma rescued it?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, do you see there, Lord Keystone is trying to find a way to rescue. Rest assured, your grandmother will be reunited with you soon. ”

"Then I'll wait!" It's about grandma, and the chick doesn't dare to have a bad mouth with Duke.

So for the time being, it behaved very well-behaved, and with a light pat on the stomach, Duke quickly crashed into it and returned to the sea of qi to recuperate.

I saw that it was getting dark.

The mages by the lake have chosen to set up camp, and it is obvious that they will talk all night at the edge of the spiritual spring tonight, and set a hundred-year plan for the construction of Cuihai City.

Duke didn't go to join in the fun.

Instead, he persevered on the branches of the green banyan forest, the king of the three rings, and continued to recall the scene he felt when he comprehended the mystery.

Through the spirituality of the Tree King, it was as if he had gone back in time, allowing him to know what had happened countless years ago.

"The shell of the ancient evil creature in the No. 3 mutation forest turned out to be the shell of the giant maggot monster. This ancient evil creature wanted to devour the spiritual spring, but it was expelled by the spirit beast, and the shell it left behind can still cause bad effects after 10,000 years. ”

However, the scene of perception was blurred, and Duke could only see the general outline of this ancient evil thing.

"I don't know if this ancient evil thing has survived to this day, if so, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

That maggot monster was banished by countless spirit beasts in flesh and blood, and the number of deaths was probably incalculable.

Even so, it was just a layer of shell shedding and calmly leaving, which shows how powerful the ancient evil thing is.

"I feel like Loren Sankagome can't deal with it."

In the face of the 9-ringed wurm-black jade horseshoe crab dragon, Loren Shan Kagome is like a god, wantonly killing and killing, just like an ordinary person killing a chicken.

However, in the blurry picture of 10,000 years ago, among the spirit beasts besieging that ancient evil thing, there are many wurms. But they still need to rely on the corpse mountain and sea of blood to fill the gap between each other, which shows that the means of the ancient evil creatures are much stronger than the Morning Star Arcane Tutor.

"Forget it, why think too much, there is a tall man on top of the sky falling. More than 4,400 years have passed since the Storm Calendar, and mankind has conquered countless lands in barren forests and established eighteen kingdoms...... The ancient evil things are afraid that they will rot in time long ago. ”

Now, it is the age of mankind.

……

"Duke, where did you go, I didn't see you in the meeting just now." Keystone was eating barbecue by the campfire and asked Duke who had just arrived with Kiria.

Glancing at the two of them, Keystone said solemnly: "I don't object to you having a relationship with Kiria, but don't make mistakes under my nose." The daughter of the Nutao family will never allow Meng Lang to act before she gets married! ”

Kilia was embarrassed, lowered her head and replied, "Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Duke and I have been comprehending the 3-ring tree king. ”

"Yes." Keystone was skeptical.

"Yes, Lord Keystone, that's all." Duke responded indifferently, as for things like holding hands and kissing mouths, it obviously can't be regarded as a mistake.

"You two, have you realized anything?" Keystone asked instead.

Kiria suddenly showed a sweet smile: "I didn't understand anything, but Duke understood, Grandpa, Duke and the two tree kings have understood." ”

"Oh, really?" Keystone was stunned, surprised, "Has your understanding been exaggerated to this extent?" ”

Duke replied with a smile: "It's not that my comprehension is too exaggerated, but I am a 2-ring spirit envoy myself, and after establishing a breath resonance with the Tree King, it is easy to obtain the gift of the Tree King, so as to comprehend the mystery of the Tree King." ”

In his opinion, the mystery of the so-called tree king is not a mystery.

Rather, it is a spiritual projection.

In the thousands of years of time, the condensed spirituality of the Tree King has been concentrated to the extreme, producing many incredible effects.

And with the help of breath resonance, he can easily project this effect into the sea of qi and the sea of spirit.

The true spiritual sea of nature, projected in the human body, gives rise to the spiritual sea; The rich spirituality of the 3-ring tree king can also be projected in the human body. This projection is the cause of the spiritual seed and the so-called mystery of the Tree King.

"Fellow practitioners from the three seas, really take advantage!" Keystone said angrily, "When you break through the spiritual fog and be promoted to the Great Arcane Mage, you may be able to start refining the sea of qi and blood into arcane weapons, which is equivalent to having two more arcane weapons than others for nothing!" ”

"Everything is a spiritual guide."

"Tsk."

Looking at Duke with a light and breezy appearance, Keystone felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart, and the spirit of the Black Jiaohe Land was a stone, and I was afraid that there were eight buckets that fell on Duke.

……

After the black jade horseshoe crab dragon was lightly solved by Loren Shan Kagome, there was no place for spirit beasts to stand in Cuihai Valley, and the urban construction of Cuihai City was officially opened.

Countless airships flew towards the Cuihai Valley, transporting materials, transporting puppets, and transporting personnel.

The nearby town of Snakehead ushered in a crowd outbreak again, and the merchants who got the news from the entire Wind Breath field were rushing here.

The stakes are too great to build a city from scratch.

Duke's Giant of Light Spirit Company is also involved in the construction of Cuihai City, and all the lamps and lanterns of official buildings are contracted by Giant of Light. In addition, the Giant of Light is also among other spiritual artifact products, continuing to compete with the Runwanjia Spiritual Artifact Factory.

Now Duke's status has skyrocketed, and he has become equal to the Grand Arcane Mage, and even the Giant of Light has risen.

completely crushed Runwanjia.

However, Duke, as the chairman, did not worry about these specific matters at all, and he kept following behind Keystone Futao.

Led by the Grand Arcian mage and led by Keystone, he personally piloted a group of diving golems into the spiritual fountain to dredge the spring water channel, and through the spring water channel, explore the surroundings to roughly determine how many small springs there are around.

Often around a large spiritual fountain, there will be a large number of small spiritual fountains associated with it.

Wait until April day.

Duke finally waited for the good news, the diving puppet team had completed the first round of exploration of this large spiritual spring.

Fourteen small springs were found.

These fourteen small springs are all places where mage towers can be built in the future, and each spring is worth a fortune.

"It's more than expected, I thought I would be satisfied with ten small springs, but I didn't expect four more." Keystone was very happy, "And the spiritual throughput of the large spring is much higher than that of the spring in Shenjiao City, and it is a good spring for building a city!" ”

He looked at Duke first, "Are you going to continue to use your teacher's mage tower, or are you planning to rebuild a new mage tower in Cuihai City?" ”

"I'm going to build a new mage tower." Duke responded.

The Sukhtara Mage Tower had been transferred to his name, but he had decided to build a new Mage Tower in the Emerald Sea Valley.

The reason is very simple, the mage tower built by Master 3 Huanao is no longer worthy of his status as a learned sage.

It is precisely because of this that he will discuss with his teacher Suktara to reform the Suktara Master Tower, fully open it to the outside world, and embrace the new system of production, education and research. In the future, even if Sukhtara and Duke are gone, the mage tower will still be able to thrive.

"Then there is a spring, you must fight for it, and you can't let Bernoulli's old thing take possession of it." Keystone unfolds the hand-drawn map.

In the southwest corner of the Cuihai Valley, there are two small springs next to each other.

Keystone smiled brightly, "We'll help you grab one of the springs, so that the other one will be kept for you for the time being, because it's too close to each other to be contested." Sooner or later, you'll be able to use a second spring. ”

This is the same as the development of the Keystone Mage Tower.

At that time, the Nutao family took a fancy to two small springs next to each other, and decisively took them down, which developed into the scale of today's mountain city.

Listen to the advice of others to eat well.

Duke nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll choose this spring!" ”

After a pause, he looked at Keystone expectantly: "My lord, you haven't forgotten the grandma who rescued the chick on this diving expedition, right?" ”

"Hey, how could I forget the Elder Spirit!" Keystone pulled a fist-sized crystal ball out of his pocket.

Throw it to Duke.

Duke took the crystal ball with both hands, and at a glance he saw an ancient spirit shaped like a trilobite wandering through it.

The whole body is outlined by luminous light, and it is the same life form as the iron-headed fish and the dragonfly Das he has seen.
