Chapter 102: Soul Tree
The ground was dusty, and apparently no one had been here for many years!
However, the blue shield overhead can keep the dust out, and the mud and dust are all separated, and the entire bottom of the lake is clear and transparent, and the crescent moon in the night sky can be seen from above. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
At the bottom of such a beautiful lake, there is a bizarre cave, which has been carved into a crystal palace, with pavilions and water pavilions, and rockery pavilions.
It's a paradise hidden at the bottom of a lake!
Zhang Jiuxiao was apprehensive, followed the gravel path, and walked towards the depths of the cave!
The underground world is surprisingly large, a trail stretches for more than 100 zhang, Zhang Jiuxiao walked all the way, and soon he was pleasantly surprised.
The seemingly ordinary gravel path is lined with lush grass and overgrown weeds, and it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
"Five Leaves and Three Immortal Fruits!"
"Nine Leaves Golden Orchid!"
"Ghost Tree!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao walked all the way, but found that this place is a nursery, planted with many flowers and plants, and after a closer look, he found that there are many rare and exotic grasses.
Every grass, every flower, and every tree here is a precious herb, and nearly half of them are elixirs.
I don't know how many years these herbs have grown, even if they are not elixirs, under the influence of elixirs, they have all turned into precious plants, exuding a rich atmosphere.
"What a big elixir nursery!"
Dozens of zhang away, Zhang Jiuxiao found thirty-three elixirs!
Among them, there were several strains that he had been looking for for a long time, and they were the precious elixirs needed to refine the Resurrection Divine Pill.
There are also many elixirs, which are extinct treasures in the classics!
Looking at the blades of grass and smelling the fragrance, it seems that they have grown for an unknown number of years.
"It's a worthwhile trip!"
Zhang Jiuxiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he took out the colorful soil and began to refine the Qiankun gourd.
Activating the body of the innate earth spirit, he refined the Qiankun gourd, and there was no hindrance, and the journey was easy, refining several pieces in just two hours.
Only then did he carefully transplant a lot of spiritual grass, and transplanted the soil and mud into the Qiankun gourd together.
Even if the Qiankun gourd is precious, it is also a question whether it can survive if it is transplanted into the elixir.
But Zhang Jiuxiao has nine-colored soil, he first put all the gourds in a big gourd, and then took out a little bit of nine-colored soil from the tip of his little finger, and put it at the bottom of the big gourd, relying on the magical effect of the nine-colored soil, and a trace of almost inaudible breath that emanated, it was enough to make all the elixirs live well.
Thirty-six elixirs were all put in by her!
Even the grass growing in the garden was also pulled up by him and put a lot of it in.
These small grasses have grown for many years, and under the influence of many elixirs, they are no longer ordinary grasses.
After pulling out the elixir, Zhang Jiuxiao reluctantly walked inside.
"Anyone?"
No one answered!
At the end of the path, there is a large stone platform with a length and width of more than ten zhang, and further on, there are eight stone houses around the platform!
"Utility room!"
"Spirit Grass Library!"
"Halla!"
"Library Pavilion!"
......
Outside each room, there are names engraved on them, and life refining medicine is readily available.
As can be seen from the name of the house, the owner of this place is supposed to be an elixir master, who lived here for a long time.
Zhang Jiuxiao explored room by room.
Soon he was disappointed -
There are a lot of elixirs in the elixir storehouse, but they are scattered under the erosion of the years, and they turn into dust when they are touched.
Not only is this the case in the elixir storehouse, but also in the library cabinet, the books on the shelves are a pile of dust in the morning, and even the bookshelves fall apart when you touch them.
"The owner of this place seems to have left in a hurry, and he didn't even pack his things!"
Zhang Jiuxiao sighed, and walked past six stone houses one after another, and he returned disappointed, knowing the seventh.
It seems that this place is a study, chairs, and desks have been weathered, but Zhang Jiuxiao found four jade slips on the desk.
"Water Dragon Gong!"
"Heavenly Machines Raise Wood Books!"
"Fire Spirit!"
There are three cultivation exercises, and the last jade slip is called "Hundred Arrays Strange Book." β
Fortunately, Yu Jian was not afraid of the erosion of time, so it was completely preserved, and it was carefully put away by Zhang Jiuxiao.
In addition to the three jade slips, Zhang Jiuxiao also found eighteen fist-sized stones in the corner of the wall.
These stones are ordinary, but Zhang Jiuxiao faintly feels that these are not ordinary things, just thinking about it, he can't think of what it is.
"Whatever it is, it is obviously not an ordinary thing to be placed here alone. β
Zhang Jiuxiao didn't say a word, he collected the stones directly, put them into the Qiankun gourd, and then walked towards the last room.
As soon as he entered the house, he was shocked to see such a scene in the house.
In the middle of the stone house, there is a strange two-person tall tree, shaped like a willow tree, with branches and leaves as slender as needles, hanging straight to the ground.
The whole tree was withered and cracked, but it was not damaged, except for the roots near the ground, where a new branch grew.
Under the strange tree, there is a skeleton lying impressively!
I don't know how many years have passed, and the flesh and blood have long been weathered, but this skeleton has not been damaged at all, snow-white and crystalline, as if it will last forever.
Tree!
Skeleton!
None of this is surprising!
Strangely, the skeleton was holding on to the dead tree with one hand, but the other hand pierced through the trunk and hollowed out the dead tree!
The branches of the dead tree tightly wrapped around the skeleton, and there were two slender pale golden leaves, which actually pierced the skeleton's skull like a sharp sword.
The skeleton has pierced through the trunk!
And the Strange Tree killed the skeletons!
Between the two, there was a fierce battle, but in the end, they both died in this stone house.
However, the strange tree is not completely dead, it sprouts new shoots and begins to regenerate!
"Don't go overβ"
Watching Zhang Jiuxiao walk forward, Xiao Shuling suddenly shouted, as if he must be excited: "In this broken cave, there will be a Soul Separation Tree!"
"Soul Tree?"
"The Soul Tree, also known as the Tree of Life and Death!" the little scholar explained:
"When this tree grows, it will exhale a strange aura, this qi can strengthen the soul, if you cultivate under the tree for a long time, the cultivation speed is ten times that of ordinary people. β
"The Soul Tree can also release a faint immortal qi, which allows people to absorb it into their bodies at a low level, and their strength is enhanced. β
"However, the Soul Tree is not a righteous thing!"
"Some soul trees will not give birth to consciousness for thousands of years, but some will grow for several years, and then they will have autonomous consciousness. β
"While it exudes a strange aura, it also invades the soul of the cultivator, invisibly separating the soul. β
"Once they form consciousness, they will refine the soul-snatching cultivator into its slaves. β
"The combat power of the Soul Separation Tree is extremely powerful, and the combat power of the Soul Separation Tree for a thousand years is comparable to that of an immortal...... The demon clan has a great power, which is born from the Soul Tree. β
The skeleton in front of him obviously didn't know the weirdness of the Soul Tree, and he was a tiger and was eventually killed by it. β
"But this person is also a person in the Immortal Dao, and at the moment of life and death, he pierced through the branches of the Soul Tree, destroyed its crystals, and finally both died together. β
"But the tree of the soul is dead, but it has given birth to a twig, and if you come near, you will surely die. β
As soon as he said this, Zhang Jiuxiao broke out in a cold sweat and took three steps back!
A withered tree, so terrifying that it almost caught his way.
