Chapter 31: The Ancient Gang Tree

It's almost the end of the month, Chen Mu didn't go up the mountain, he put away the wooden house, and used the Gang tree to carve a beautiful gourd for Wang seniors, which is very light and easy to use, and can quickly return to its original state after being flattened.

Chen Muke studied the surname of Gangshu carefully, and finally spent a day making himself a more delicate shoulder and shorts, which were soft and cool, which was most suitable for his lumberjack life.

At the beginning of the second month, Senior Wang came early in the morning, and he was very happy to see the gourd that Chen Mu made for him, and the weight of the Nagang tree was enough, so Chen Mu easily earned the first spirit stone.

Spirit stones are mainly divided into low-level spirit stones, middle-level spirit stones, high-level spirit stones, etc.; spirit stones also have five elements of caste, divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth five kinds of caste spirit stones.

A monk with a fire spirit root absorbs the fire spirit stone, and the power of the caste will have an effect on the fire spirit root, but the spiritual energy absorbed by this monk from this fire spirit stone is the same as the spiritual power absorbed from other spirit stones. Therefore, it is best to choose to use the spirit stone corresponding to your own spirit root, if it does not correspond, it will not have much impact on mana refining.

And Chen Mu didn't know what kind of spiritual root he was at all, and when Senior Wang asked him what kind of surname spirit stone he wanted, he didn't know what to want.

"I want the Fire Spirit Stone, Senior Wang. Chen Mu chose one at random.

Senior Wang threw the spirit stone bag to Chen Mu and said, "Take it, these stones are also good among low-level spirit stones, you can use them for cultivation at the right time to achieve twice the result with half the effort." Although the weight of these trees is enough, they are all newborn Gang trees, none of them are Gu Gang trees, you kid can't always wander around the mountainside, if there is still no Gu Gang tree next month, I will deduct your spirit stone. ”

"Also, don't leave Shangang Peak at will, lest you touch some prohibitions. After Senior Wang finished speaking, he took the new gourd and left.

Chen Mu has been playing with those fiery red spirit stones since he left, this is his first income, and he will definitely make good use of it.

After Wang's predecessor left, Chen Mu cut down the second month's gang tree the next day and piled it up at the back of the house.

As soon as it was dawn on the third day, Chen Mu began to head towards the top of the mountain, and he guessed that the Gu Gang tree must be near the top of the mountain.

Along the way, he encountered many strange animals, which Chen Mu had never seen before, but they were all very friendly, and some even took the initiative to come to Chen Mu's side. This also made Chen Mu figure out one thing, how could there be those hurting beasts in the nearest territory of Xuanqing Gate, and even if there were, they would have been dealt with a long time ago.

After climbing like this for two days and two nights, Chen Mu still did not reach the top of the mountain.

"Something is wrong, why is this mountain so high, at least twice as high as Qitian Peak, and there is not a single Gugang tree in sight, am I going the wrong way?" Chen Mu finally doubted his sense of direction.

Because Gangshu was constantly inhaling aura, he only felt that the aura everywhere was at the same concentration, and he couldn't judge the height he was at at all.

In the end, Chen Mu judged that he had been circling the mountainside in a circle by observing the angle of the sun while walking, and had not climbed up at all.

"Could it be the ghost who was forbidden to make trouble as mentioned by Wang's predecessors?" Chen Mu asked himself with a puzzled expression, and then he walked in a circle instead, and sure enough, after a day and a night of hard work, he climbed to about four-fifths of the mountain Gang Peak.

Next, Chen Mu did not rush to the top, but looked for the ancient gang tree nearby.

"This is?!" Chen Mu pushed aside a bush, and the scenery behind him stunned him.

It was a huge mountain basin with all kinds of exotic birds hovering above, and below it was a forest of towering trees and a sea of green.

"Those towering giant trees should be Gugang trees, no wonder the predecessors took a fancy to this kind of tree, but it is much more majestic than the Ling tree in the white room. But there is no way to transport it to the bottom of the mountain in such a mountain basin. Chen Mu looked at the cliff under his feet and sighed helplessly.

Tie the rope, Chen Mu slowly climbed along the cliff to the basin.

As soon as he touched the ground of the basin, Chen Mu felt his body sink and almost fell to the ground, the ground seemed to have a huge gravitational pull, which made it difficult for him to even stand up straight.

"How can there be such a huge spiritual pressure and surface gravity here, no wonder I feel so relaxed when I climb down. It's broken now, I can't even stand up straight, how can I climb back?" Chen Mu looked around, thinking anxiously.

After a while, Chen Mu looked up at the cliff and shook his head helplessly.

Following the gap between the giant trees, Chen Mu walked with heavy steps, his mind was very chaotic, and he even thought about how to live if he was trapped here forever.

I saw him with a gloomy face, his head bowed and pondering. A moment ago, he took out the sharp black iron axe from the storage iron plate, and tried to cut down the thick trunk that twenty people could only hold together, and there was not even a small hole left when the axe was chopped, the density of this ancient gang tree was much stronger than those newborn gang trees.

A month later, a figure suddenly appeared in the thick pile of fallen leaves deep in the dense forest.

"Alas, I can finally adapt to the spiritual pressure here, it is much thicker than the top of Qitian Peak, if I don't have the filigree in my body, the dou silk will definitely be generated in large quantities. Chen Mu thought while inspecting the situation in his body, his complexion was much better. In just one month, he actually refined another hundred filigrees, and there were about six hundred filaments in his body in total.

The silk of mana cultivated by a cultivator is like a slender bamboo, with an empty middle, and a large amount of blue mana is stored. When using spells, the mana in the filigree is consumed, and the conduit-like shell will remain in the dantian and will not be consumed. The alchemy silk that is usually referred to refers to the refining of this shell, and the mana will be stored in it at the same time as it is refined. As long as there is this bamboo-shaped mana conduit, even if the mana is consumed, it will be restored relatively quickly, but the speed of mana recovery does vary from person to person.

There are also many ways to restore mana, such as the automatic absorption of spiritual energy condensation mana by the mana channel, the acceleration of refining and recovery of mana by various exercises, and the acceleration of the talent of the owner of the water spirit root.

No matter who it is, the mana filaments that were cultivated before the infancy period are different except for the catheter, and the upper limit of mana that can be stored in them is exactly the same, which is the principle of the number of mana filaments detected by the test magic weapon.

After adapting to the spiritual pressure here, Chen Mu's body is much more comfortable than a month ago, although there is still the oppression of gravity, at least he can move freely.

The dense forest in this basin is not very large, and in less than half a day, Chen Mu has already circled it, and there are cliffs all around, and there is no road at all. Then Chen Mu began to explore the real dense forest, he planned to search for the Gugang tree here, as long as he found a thin one, it was possible for him to cut it down.

"Did Senior Wang deliberately make things difficult for me, and searched for a long time, there was not a single Gugang tree that could be cut down. Chen Mu looked at the already scarred Xuantie axe in his hand and thought to himself.

In addition to the trees that interested him, there was also a purple mist in the woods that also made him curious.

This kind of mist slowly floated between these tall tree trunks, and it never dissipated, once Chen Mu climbed the tree and touched the purple mist and found that it was soft, like cotton, but unfortunately it was like flowing water, and he couldn't hold it.

Fortunately, the time for cultivators to sleep and eat can be saved, Chen Mu carefully searched this forest, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed, and there was still no useful discovery.

In the third month of the basin, Chen Mu basically gave up looking for clues, and he was hoping that Wang would be able to go up the mountain to find him and rescue him after he found out that he had not handed over the timber on time.

In the fourth month, Senior Wang still didn't come, and Chen Mu had been meditating and refining the magic silk during the period, and now it was close to eight hundred.

Gently stroking the circular lines on the Gang tree, Chen Mu seemed to feel something, how could these towering giant trees be so intact when they were so close to the Xuanqing Gate? Do these patterns represent something? How did the purple mist form? Unconsciously, Chen Mu entered a state of selflessness again, exploring the causal connection of things, but it seemed to be different from meditation in the white room.

This time, instead of flipping through the book of cause and effect as quickly as he did last time, he quietly looked at a page in the book, which was a beautiful landscape painting. Under a huge mountain peak, two people were playing with each other, very friendly, and there was a small gang tree with a circular pattern around these two people; suddenly the picture changed, and a beautiful woman appeared, she was crying sadly with a huge gang tree, and tears flowed down the gang tree; and then the last picture appeared, only to see a large number of gang trees all withered and died, and the purple mist was filled all around.

This time, Chen Mu's selflessness only lasted for a week, because he didn't have enough experience, so there weren't enough memory fragments to analyze and integrate. In the end, I can only see the page of the book of cause and effect, and I have no ability to explore the cause.

But when he woke up, he had a big enough gain. By comparing the two selfless states, he found several similarities: first, only his soul can enter the selfless state and refer to the book of cause and effect, second, they both enter the meditative state of selflessness under the ancient tree, and third, entering the selfless state can accelerate the formation of emerald green liquid in the hexagonal body of the eyebrows.

"What do those three pictures represent, are they telling the story of the people in the painting?" Chen Mu still couldn't figure out what was going on in the painting, why all those gang trees withered.

"Then I don't want to think about anything, I'm going to impact the Condensation Period!" Chen Mu shouted, and countless alien birds flew into the sky after being frightened.

"These birds are also very strange, why didn't one of them fly out of the range above the Gangshu. Chen Mu thought about it, but still didn't pay much attention to this detail.

After the end of this selfless state, Chen Mu's mana silk had reached 1,000, which was completely enough for him to impact the condensation period.

In the past few months, exploring the mysteries of the White Room has been fruitless, and exploring the cause of Gangshu has been fruitless, Chen Mu has no choice but to prepare to do another big thing first, to impact the condensation period!

Chen Mu made the right decision, only when he reached the condensation period could he be regarded as a true cultivator, maybe some problems could be solved with his advancement.
