Chapter 12: The Heart of the Acacia Tree

said that Li Xiang left with white hair and vicissitudes on his face, and soon merged into the crowd. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But this white hair did not attract too many people to wait and see, the young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, it was when he was deviant, and the streets were full of colorful heads, not much more than him.

At this time, Li Xiang didn't have time to pay attention to them, because there were still important things to do. In fact, at this moment, his body was already extremely weak, because of the consumption of life force, the dantian star core was smaller again, but there was no time to rest and recover, he needed to complete a Xuantian Palace's forbidden technique, the soul imprint, before the spiritual power of the chest pendant-blood-red fox completely dissipated.

Before that, he needed an aid.

He went to the hardware store to buy saws, axes, chisels and carving knives, and took a car to a village he passed on his way into the city, where he had what he needed.

Dahuaishu Village, relying on the central district of Hecheng City, belongs to the urban-rural junction, under the footsteps of urban expansion, gradually declined, and now there are few families left, and they are all old and healthy old people left.

But don't look at the village is small, but it has a long history, from the village chronicles, the village has been called this name since the Ming Dynasty, mainly named after a big locust tree in the east of the village, according to the old people in the village, this tree has a history of almost 1,000 years. Nowadays, it has become a key protected tree in Tiannan Province!

And Li Xiang's goal today is this big tree.

The trunk of the old locust tree is thick, the branches are coiled and entangled, it is very imposing, the crown covers an extremely wide area, and the place of several acres in a radius is all covered by it. The trunk is fenced off and there is a red sign that reads: National Protected Trees.

A few days ago, I glanced at it in a hurry, but I felt that this tree was relatively abundant. Now that I got closer, I found that this tree was about to give birth to spiritual wisdom, and if there was a chance for another thousand years, it was definitely possible to cross the catastrophe and transform into a powerful demon cultivator.

But, alas, I met Lee Sang today. This tree has what he desperately needs, which is the key to casting the "Soul Brand" spell - the heart of the locust tree. I thought it was an ordinary old locust tree, and I was worried that the aura was too weak, and it would not affect the effect of spellcasting, but I didn't expect it to be an old tree spirit. Of course, it is precisely because the spiritual wisdom has not yet been born that it will not be coveted by other cultivators. If you really want to give birth to spiritual wisdom, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with Li Xiang, such a demon cultivator in such a large public, and a plant demon cultivator who can't move, has long been robbed and there is not even dregs left.

Seeing that there was no one around, he stepped over the fence and lightly pressed his hand to the trunk of the tree. is also a wood attribute spiritual power, feeling the surging green wood star power inside, Li Xiang's heart jumped. Since its rebirth, in addition to the Mountain of Light in the "Xia's Jewels", this tree is full of spiritual power.

With the movement of the veins of the trees, Li Xiang felt the location of the core, almost one meter above the ground, and in the middle, there was a mass of spiritual power, that is, the heart of the locust tree, which was to be cultivated into a demon pill in the future.

It may have been dinner time, and Li Xiang, a stranger, entered the village without attracting anyone's attention. But it was daylight, but it was not easy to make any movement, and he looked around again, and made sure that no one had found him, so he leaped forward, put one hand on the branch, and then turned over to the place where the branches and leaves of the trees were most luxuriant, and sat down on his knees, until night fell.

Time flies, it is two o'clock in the second half of the night, in the dead of night, only the starry sky and the low chirping of autumn insects, and occasionally three or two dog barks. Under the dense leaves, Li Xiang opened his eyes, the essence of light flashed in an instant, and after a few hours of meditation, he had adjusted his state to the best.

Silently jumping off a tree, picking up a saw and pulling back and forth where it sensed during the day. However, after a few clicks, it was found that it was useless, except for a few lines of white marks, and the saw blades were already curled.

He only then remembered that this was an old locust tree that was about to become a refinement, and it was difficult for ordinary tools to hurt his branches anymore.

Putting down the saw and gently stroking the trunk again, Li Xiang said indifferently: "I originally wanted to just take off a little wooden heart and not hurt your life, but now I can't help it, I'm sorry!"

Even if he entered the refining period, Li Xiang had a way to break the trunk and take out part of the wood heart without hurting the root of the locust tree, which still did not affect the cultivation of the big tree, but he was only in the foundation building period now, and there was no way to take the hard bark, so he could only take the whole tree.

He is not a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not have been able to control the Xuan Immortal Realm 10,000 years ago, since he chose the path of cultivating immortals, he must have the mental consciousness of "the weak eat the strong". Therefore, having made up his mind, Li Xiang jumped on the trunk of the tree again to meditate on the place where he had settled and sat cross-legged.

Just like the noon action, Li Xiang once again performed the "Life Migration Technique", which was different from the previous transmission of life to others, this time he was going to truly perform this forbidden technique.

For him, stealing other people's cultivation is really disdainful, but in order to protect his lover, even if he puts down his dignity, what's the matter?

Biting his fingers again, he pinched the sword trick in his right hand, connecting the dots in the air, forming a blue-green charm, rotating around his body several times, and gradually disappearing.

Then pinch the orchid with both hands, horizontally with the knees, and the palms of the hands face the sky, showing the lotus seal.

Although the old locust tree had not yet developed its intelligence, it instinctively told it that it was about to be threatened by the person in it, so it became powerful.

Under the quiet night sky, a sudden wind blew, and the blue-green leaves and wooden thorns fell off their branches and flew towards Li Xiang, like a dart.

If it were other foundation builders, in the face of such an overwhelming attack, it would definitely be either death or injury, but Li Xiang was different, just because what he was cultivating was also the spiritual power of the wood attribute, and it was the wood attribute contributed by the Xuanming Water Body.

All wood-attribute attacks are just a transmission of spiritual power to him. Sure enough, as soon as all the leaves and wooden thorns that flew in front of him came into contact with Li Xiang's body, their power was immediately absorbed, and the darts that had lost their strength could only fly with the wind. Of course, there is still physical damage from wooden thorns, but what is the slightest sting?

The sorrow of the plant-based demon cultivator is that before the transformation, he can't move a bit, and the opponents of other attributes can only say that when facing the monks of the wood attributes, they can only be slaughtered by others, and they have no power to parry.

The Life Migration Technique finally worked. I saw thousands of green fluorescents, like crystal silk threads, being extracted from all corners of the trunk of the old locust tree and converging towards Li Xiang's dantian position.

The feeling at this moment is much more refreshing than when the foundation is completed, and the same attribute gives him a kind of comfort from the inside out. The star core of the dantian rotated at a high speed, and under the replenishment of a steady stream of spiritual power, it gradually increased, and the consumption of the past few days was quickly replenished.

But the vigorous old locust tree has changed, the leaves have turned yellow, and they have fallen, and the turquoise bark has begun to dry and crack, revealing the dead wood trunk inside.

The vitality is still being transferred, and Li Xiang's star core has doubled, and I believe that if he faces that Xu Li at this time, he will definitely not be as embarrassed as last time.

The green threads in the air quickly faded until they disappeared.

The old locust tree, which had been cultivated for thousands of years, died like this.

The thick trunk of the tree still stood stubbornly in the air, as if to tell of its indomitability. However, the squeak and writhing of the trunk was heard in the autumn wind, and it was still dead anyway.

But it made Li Xiang.

At this moment, he felt that he was already at the peak of the foundation building period, and he could cross the tribulation again at any time and enter the refining period.

There was no time to get excited, and there was no sadness for the old locust tree that had passed. Just jump off the tree, take out the axe and chisel, and gently chisel where the saw pulled.

Although the old locust tree that lost its life is still as hard as iron, it no longer has the momentum of demon cultivation, and Li Xiang is not the Li Xiang just now. Under the hammer of the axe, the chisel easily inserted itself into the trunk of the tree, and soon a hole four or five centimeters in diameter was carved.

Because of the disappearance of spiritual power, the center of the trunk has decayed, and Li Xiang took out a baby's fist-sized thing from the middle position, blue-green, much like a piece of jasper carved walnut, with mottled and uneven lines on the surface, red, like blood.

The heart of the locust tree, the essence of the old locust tree's cultivation for thousands of years.

Li Xiang was overjoyed, quickly packed up the tools of the crime, filled the hole with broken wood chips, and quickly left the place.

There are all kinds of legends that the old locust tree died overnight.

But he said that Li Xiang was busy all night, and it was already early in the morning when he returned to the small hotel. The bed was set up again, and a clearing was cleared in the middle of the room, but this time it was not so complicated, and there was no need to draw spells all over the ground, nor did it need the assistance of building a star gathering array.

The first thing to do is to carve a small figure.

Putting Mu Xin on the table, holding a carving knife in his right hand, the fiery figure in palace clothes ten thousand years ago and the delicate and naughty beauty a few days ago appeared in his mind. The two graceful figures flashed alternately until they coincided.

Quickly picked up the wooden heart, the knife was like a god, the green sawdust flew, and soon, a lively villain appeared in his hand, with one hand behind the back and behind him, and the other hand fiddling with the hair on the chest, the carving was so expressive, even the skin seemed to be elastic, but the figure had closed its eyes.

This statue is simply a miniature version of Su Hong makeup, whether it is look or appearance, the two are exactly the same. It's just only three centimeters tall, similar in size to the little fox statue.

Li Xiang took the blood red fox pendant and put the two together, and the image began to become serious.

The so-called soul brand, in fact, is to cast their own shadow in the soul of the other party, which is simple to say, but the operation is extremely complicated. The auxiliary material is to find a carrier for the coexistence of polar yin and polar yang attributes, and the heart of the locust tree is the best material.

The reason why this technique is called forbidden is because it is an evil art that can control the minds of others, and once it is hit, it can only be at the mercy of others. Of course, Li Xiang's cultivation is now low, and he can't fully cast such a high-level spell, let alone reach the level of controlling other people's minds. All he has to do is to cast a trace of his obsession on the other party's body, and be able to sense the safety of the other party at all times, a bit like installing a positioning and monitoring system.

However, there are drawbacks for spellcasters. Because everyone's soul is a mixed element, even the smallest trace of it will make the soul incomplete, which is a great obstacle to the later stage of cultivation.

In fact, even if it is a simplified version of the soul brand, Li Xiang can't cast it, but fortunately, he has just advanced in strength, and with the blood spell as an aid, he can barely cast it.

Li Xiang bit his finger again, if it weren't for the metamorphosis recovery ability, I believe his finger would have been riddled with holes. However, this time the blood that came out was different.

Because in the dantian, Li Xiangsheng dissociated the star core of the mixed yuan and released a little nebula flame, that is, a trace of his own obsession.

This hurt him a lot, the moment the star core broke, he was already in a trance, and his spirit was immediately greatly damaged, he barely suppressed the disgust in his heart, bit the tip of his tongue, the pain made him barely recover a little energy, and the spell continued.

He mixed the separated star soul into the blood and forced it out, evenly smeared it on the little fox's body, and then stretched out his fingers to connect the dots with the fox in the air, forming a green difficult charm, and the light in the air was full and fading.

With the flick of his fingers, the green blood on the fox began to swirl. Seeing this scene, Li Xiang pinched the sword trick in his palm, pointed his fingertips at the little fox, and slowly lifted it up, only to see that a virtual figure with the same appearance gradually pulled out of the little fox.

After settling in the air and waiting for stability, he pointed his fingertips at Mu Xin's carving, and the fox phantom slowly moved down, finally coinciding with Mu Xin.

At the same time, seize the opportunity, bite the tip of his tongue, force out a mouthful of blood, and secretly shout: "Together!" The phantom disappeared, and the statue suddenly moved, and at this moment, the statue with closed eyes suddenly opened, and the divine light in its eyes flowed.

It's done, and Li Xiang is overjoyed.

However, suddenly I heard a "bang", and with the flow of light of the statue, starting from the soles of my feet, a puff of sparks burst out, and the fire was raging, and the thousand-year-old wooden heart was instantly turned into ashes.

Seeing the wood carving on fire, Li Xiang was shocked, the consequences of forcibly using the forbidden technique came, and although the soul brand was successful, it backfired. Sure enough, before he could react, his head felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he was dizzy and passed out directly.

Of course, he is not the only one affected.
