Chapter 33: The Phantom Tree
The plant looks like a willow tree, except that the leaves have small barbs around the edges and the leaves are slightly thicker than willow leaves.
Xiang Yang, who had passed out, did not know that as the blood he sucked increased, the plant gradually turned green, and he did not stop sucking until the whole plant was emerald green.
The branch let go of its tightly wrapped arm and stood there quietly, ignoring the change in color, and would think that the way he had just smoked frantically was an illusion.
As the light cluster on the top of Dai Luthos's head became smaller and thinner, Xiang Yang slowly woke up, and he didn't know where he was for a while.
The feeling of powerlessness all over the body and the gray and white of the world make Xiangyang's memory come back in an instant. Xiang Yang leaned towards the stone pillar slightly slowly, raised his weak right hand, and took out the pill with difficulty, wanting to recover his strength and vitality as soon as possible.
After looking at the condition of Dai Pothos, I knew that it would take a lot of time. After Dai Luthos is inherited, he should be able to know how to get out of this ghost place.
Xiang Yang, who was bored, grabbed the thing next to him again, Xiang Yang didn't forget that he was because of it, and he became the weak and powerless he is now.
When Xiang Yang was on the first floor, he had read a lot of miscellaneous books and vaguely guessed that the thing in front of him was a jade slip. She held the jade slip in her hand and slapped it on her forehead, and the information that appeared in her mind proved that Xiang Yang's conjecture was right.
"I accidentally found this plant, its form is very similar to the phantom tree recorded in ancient books, I was ecstatic, painstakingly, to make a great array of spiritual concealment, isolated from the world, here incognito, concentrate on cultivating this tree, do not want this tree or slowly wither, although I try my best, I can't stop it. β
"Maybe there is no such thing as a Phantom Tree in the world, that's just a legend. Soon after, I was found by the enemy, attacked by a sneak attack, and died in death, ridiculous, sad, hahaha......"
Xiang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The secret realm that makes the whole faction so excited and looking forward to it is just a mountain field hidden by the formation, how can it not be ridiculous, pathetic, hehe." β
Xiang Yang looked at the plant on his side, it was indeed the same as the Phantom Spirit Tree, the "Ten Thousand Soul Pharmacopoeia" recorded that the Phantom Spirit Tree can be transformed into any spiritual object or weapon, flowering for three thousand years, bearing fruit for three thousand years, and the fruit can be refined medicine or refining tools. β
"The Phantom Tree is a space of its own, a natural magic weapon of space, and a world of its own, where living things can be placed. What's more, the Phantom Spirit Tree has harsh growth conditions, not only to use spiritual power to nourish it, but also to feed it with essence blood, and today, it does not exist. β
The predecessors here worked hard to get the secret realm, but they didn't want to cut off the Phantom Tree's way of life.
Xiang Yang finally understood that the reason why there was no life in the secret realm, and the plants in front of him were the culprits. Judging by the amount of blood it sucks on, you know that if no one finds out about this place, it probably won't last long.
Cultivation is the crossing of a single-plank bridge by tens of millions of people, resources are limited, opportunities are hard to find, and the scene of a bamboo basket fetching water is frequently staged until the end of life.
Xiang Yang didn't believe that he would have such good luck, "Is it really the Phantom Spirit Tree?"
The Phantom Spirit Tree unlocked its static state because of Xiang Yang's words, rose from the ground, twisted, shrunk, and slowly transformed into an emerald green ring, flew in front of Xiang Yang, and gently put it on his index finger.
Maybe it was because of the excessive bleeding, Xiang Yang actually had a sense of intimacy with it, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and looked at it for a long time.
Xiang Yang suddenly remembered the record in the "Pharmacopoeia of All Souls", and asked in a low voice: "Can you become a dandelion flower?"
Afraid that he was puzzled, and just as he was about to explain, a green light flashed, forcing Xiang Yang to close his eyes slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the ring had turned into the appearance of a dandelion flower.
Xiang Yang is like a treasure, and keeps stroking the Yinghua ring on his index finger, and the chain on his wrist reflects each other.
"We can get out, and it won't be long before the secret realm will collapse. The sudden appearance of the voice startled Xiang Yang, and she relaxed her vigilance because she was too happy, she hadn't made such a mistake for a long time.
It was Dai Luluo who spoke, and when Xiang Yang was immersed in joy, she had finished cultivating.
Xiang Yang looked at the more mysterious and unpredictable Dai Luluo, and asked softly, "How to get out?" Xiang Yang couldn't wait to leave this depressing, dead and desperate place.
"With the phantom tree in your hand, Dai Luluo glanced at Xiang Yang with deep meaning, and took the lead towards the stone pillar, "There is a pattern here." β
It was a leaf-like patternβthe leaves of the Phantom Tree.
Xiang Yang, who walked to the front, didn't know if he could trust Dai Luluo, but in this formation space, the only person who could say something was Dai Luluo.
In these days in the secret realm, everything that should be done and what should be found has been done, but nothing has been found, and now there is only one way to believe her.
Xiang Yang finally looked at the gray and white that could not see the edge, and his heart was full of sadness, "In the future, this place will be silent forever, no one will come again, and no one will remember this place, is it worth it? Will I be somewhere in the future, disappearing silently like this." β
Xiang Yang held the phantom tree in the shape of a leaf, slowly approached the pattern, and pressed it hard an inch away from it.
The familiar sound came out again, and unlike before, the wind came, blowing up the dust in the sky. This time, Xiang Yang and Dai Luluo both chose to ignore it, did not isolate it with spiritual power, and let it fall all over their bodies.
Because they need to disguise, they are the only two of them who enter the stone pillar, and even if they don't get anything, it will be trouble to get out, so it's best not to be discovered.
As the stone pillar completely submerged into the ground, the faint light shone in, and the dust in front of me, under the sunlight, fluttered and danced, high or low, slow or urgent, very beautiful.
I don't know who shouted, "Look! It's a mountain." β
"Run! I can finally get out of this damn place!" Xiang Yang and Dai Luluo, who had already blended into the crowd, also ran with the crowd.
As soon as they left the range of the formation and stepped into the green grassland, two Law Enforcement Hall disciples came to the front, and after casually sending out the transmission note, they asked everyone to wait in place.
Not long after, the disciples and elders of the sect came one after another, and instructed the inner disciples to go and check.
After asking the registered disciples, and receiving no useful information, they confiscated all the belongings of the registered disciples, and promised that if there was nothing unusual, they would return the full amount.
Xiang Yang, like the other disciples, handed over his package, except for the Phantom Spirit Tree, of course.
In the next few days, everything was as usual, everything was as usual, only one thing happened: this day was the same as usual, the difference was that the packages of the named disciples were all sent down, except for Xiangyang's.
There is nothing abnormal in Xiangyang's package, just some pills and talismans, and the problem lies in these pills and talismans. Xiang Yang was a registered disciple, and he was only a registered disciple, and how could a registered disciple have such a number of pills and talismans?
It was originally used to save his life, but now it has become a fatal cause, Xiang Yang feels like a trapped beast in a besieged city, with no exit, and he doesn't know when and where danger will appear, and in what way.
Xiang Yang got up and walked out of the room, not wanting to sit still, even if it was a sleepy beast, it couldn't be without any struggle, although the struggle was ugly and ridiculous.
Xiang Yang's worry is not superfluous, Xiang Yang's package is on the table in a room halfway up the mountain at this time, and the conversation between the two people at the table is obviously also around the package and the owner of the package.
"I almost looked away, this girl was hidden deep enough, and I began to wonder what she was holding. There was a hint of anger and hope in his tone.
"Master, I'll go directly and grab that stinky girl for questioning and ask her to hand over her things. The young man next to him said.
"Fool! arresting her now is tantamount to telling everyone that she has good things in her hands, especially this fake secret realm, which has greatly disappointed the whole faction. The old man paced around the table with his hands behind his back.
After a long time, the old man stopped and ordered: "Wait for the limelight, go and arrest her, I want to see, what is she trying to hide?" The fierceness in his eyes that could not be concealed made Dai Yongheng, who was a disciple, feel frightened, and his cold hair stood on end.
At this time, Xiang Yang came to Dai Luluo again and made the same request, "I want you to help me buy some more materials for making talismans." β
Dai Luluo nodded in response, "Buying materials is a trivial matter, I'll get them for you as soon as possible, but you'd better leave here as soon as possible." β
Just when Dai Luluo thought that Xiang Yang would not respond like last time, Xiang Yang threw over a porcelain bottle, this was the only bottle left by Xiang Yang, and it was useless to cultivate in the past few days, just in case of emergency.
"This is for you, when buying spiritual materials, it is best not to use the elixir in this bottle, there will be trouble. Xiang Yang turned to leave, some preparations had to be made in advance, "Also, thank you." β
After returning from Dai Luluo, Xiang Yang found that there were always people around him staring, so he was more low-key and lived in seclusion.
However, what puzzled Xiang Yang was that the success rate of drawing the talisman by himself became higher, almost 100% of the talismans, and it has also become a happy thing in this special period.
You must know that Xiang Yang is a beginner in talismans, and when he plays his best, the success rate is only fifty percent.
The time of happiness did not exceed a quarter of an hour, and there was a problem in the next alchemy, and there was not a single Cheng Dan in the three furnaces of spiritual materials in a row, all of which were gray-white slag, and Xiang Yang didn't understand what was wrong.
There is no sluggishness in the Thousand Illusion technique, and the smooth casting is completed, and each step is also input spiritual power, which is no different from the previous alchemy.
It hasn't been long since I entered the secret realm, and it won't be cooked raw, if it's raw, I should be familiar with it after practicing one or two furnaces. Xiang Yang couldn't think of the problem, and he always felt that there was something he had ignored.
Xiang Yang stretched out his left thumb and index finger to twist up a little gray-white medicine residue, put it in front of his eyes, and twisted it gently, always feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The Yinghua ring on the index finger, with the movements of the fingers, finally attracted Xiang Yang's attention, "By the way, the gray and white secret realm?" Xiang Yang looked at the Yinghua ring on his finger, "It's you?"
After Xiang Yang returned to the sect, because his safety was threatened, he had already forgotten about the Phantom Spirit Tree, forgetting that it was a living thing, not a simple ring. Now Xiang Yang can be sure that the medicine residue in the Dan furnace is the work of the phantom spirit beast.
The records in the "Pharmacopoeia of All Souls" are not very detailed, and Xiang Yang does not know how to feed and plant, only that he can suck blood.
Xiang Yang casually cut a wound on his left hand, and the Phantom Spirit Tree was like a poisonous snake that smelled fish, poked out its emerald green branches, pierced into the wound, and sucked it.
Xiang Yang had nothing to do, so he sat on the ground and waited for the Phantom Spirit Tree to finish sucking, I really don't know if you are a plant or an animal.
After about a quarter of an hour, the Phantom Tree withdrew its branch and rubbed twice on the wound, which healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Xiang Yang smiled silently when he saw this, "I didn't expect you to be very gentle, we will get along well in the future." "Xiang Yang is really happy, he has been too lonely all along.
