Chapter 264 Evergreen Ancient Tree
Only after leaving the Fox King's residence did Bai Lan breathe a sigh of relief.
An eighth-level monster, so terrifying.
When she was in the cave, she always separated a wisp of her spiritual consciousness and was ready to reload the game at any time.
Getting along with the Fox King is like sitting and chatting with a time bomb. You're afraid that she will kill you in an instant if she disagrees with you.
Entering Fuli Valley once again, Bai Lan glanced at the low-level fox demons that were baring their teeth and fur at her. She decisively hung the red fox tail around her waist and took a few steps forward.
Sure enough, after hanging the red fox tail around the waist, once the aura and pressure from it were released, all the fox demons in the valley instantly retracted their bared teeth and stared at Bai Lan in surprise and suspicion.
After saving the file on the spot, Bai Lan smiled slightly. Following the memory of Zi Yu in his mind, Bai Lan began to wander around the valley.
When you come to a new map, of course you have to reload the game and visit all the places to see if there are any hidden opportunities.
After visiting a place, she would reload the save file and mark out many rare spiritual herbs in the valley, including the demon-luring herbs that the two ancestors had ordered, on the simple map she had drawn.
The final collection was completed along the planned fastest route.
After preparing everything, Bai Lan headed towards the evergreen ancient tree located in the center of Fuli Valley.
Previously, the Fox King ordered Zi Yu to practice under the ancient tree, and he was referring to the evergreen ancient tree.
The Evergreen Ancient Tree is considered a rare wood in the world of cultivation. The value of the wood itself is not high, but the Evergreen Ancient Tree is a unique spirit-gathering wood.
A spiritual vein can be derived from the inside out of the place where it grows. Since its growth, this thousand-year-old tree has derived a large spiritual vein under the Fuli Valley.
When Bai Lan found Zi Yu, she did not practice diligently as the Fox King had instructed. Instead, she transformed into a snow-white three-tailed fox and played a game of chase with the beasts in the valley.
Sensing Bai Lan's presence, the flying white fox instantly transformed into a human form. Zi Yu stretched slowly and coughed lightly: "Ahem! You disturbed my practice!"
"..." What kind of body movements are practiced by running after other foxes?
"Hey! Wait, my mother actually gave you the fox tribe's token!" Zi Yu saw the red fox tail around Bai Lan's waist and said in surprise: "I thought she would eat you directly."
Bai Lan nodded: "Almost."
"It seems that you are really a member of the fox clan, otherwise my mother would definitely not show mercy. She hates human monks."
That's absolutely true. Your mother almost did something to me.
It's a pity that money tempted her and she really wanted to advance.
Zi Yu walked around Bai Lan, looking surprised: "Are you going to stay in Fuli Valley in the future? But your body is that of a human cultivator. You can't use the cultivation methods of our fox clan. What a pity."
"The Fox King has another mission for me, so I guess I have to leave."
"Mission? What mission?" Zi Yu's ears moved and she spoke curiously.
Bai Lan coughed lightly: "Want to know?"
Ziyu nodded.
"Let's make a deal. If you can dig up a small section of the rhizome of this ancient evergreen tree and give it to me, I will tell you."
Anyway, the Fox King didn't ask her to keep it a secret.
Ziyu's ears tightened and she stepped back instantly: "No, this tree is the spiritual eye of the spiritual vein. If I dig it up, my mother will definitely scold me."
"Forget it. This is a secret concerning the future rise and fall of the fox clan. It is destined that only the Fox King and I can know it. What a pity." Bai Lan shook his head and sighed, looking sad.
Zi Yu came closer again: "What do you want this tree root for? It may not survive even if you dig it up. This evergreen ancient tree will only have the effect of gathering spirits when it grows to a thousand years old. A hundred-year-old tree is just a pretty tree."
According to the concentration of spiritual energy in the four spiritual veins within her Void Stone, this tree could grow into a thousand-year-old tree if planted for three or four hundred years.
There are so many opportunities in the world of cultivation, and she has plenty of ways to make the tree grow quickly.
"Just give me a small section as thick as a finger. This tree is a thousand-year-old tree. Digging out a small section will have almost no impact on the tree."
Zi Yu pondered for a moment, and finally smiled: "Then you can stay in the valley for another three days. My mother will be in seclusion for a few days every month. Three days later will be her time for seclusion. I will take advantage of her time to secretly dig a small section."
"Okay, Princess is very generous!" Bai Lan also nodded and smiled.
Giving her a small piece of tree root is almost equivalent to getting an evergreen ancient tree, which is a huge profit.
"The Fox King ordered me to go to the Boundless Sea to search for the soul of the ninth-level ancestor who fell in the thunder tribulation thousands of years ago. If I can bring the ancestor back, the Fox King will have a chance to break through the ninth-level bottleneck."
The reason why there are the five major sects is that there has been a Divine Transformation cultivator behind each of them.
However, most of the spiritual masters do not care about worldly affairs. They are focused on finding the way to ascend to heaven and do not interfere in worldly affairs.
Therefore, almost no one knows whether these powerful people are dead or alive.
If a ninth-rank demon fox could emerge from their Sky Fox clan, they could then take shelter under the big tree and hope to recreate the scene of a thousand years ago and prosper again.
"But, are you sure you can bring back the ancestor? That boundless sea is extremely dangerous. I heard that even the eighth-level monsters have a hard time surviving there! There are many Yuanying masters in the human race who like to go there to kill monsters. It's very scary!"
The Boundless Sea is a gathering place for high-level monsters and high-level monks. If nothing unexpected happens, there must be valuable treasures there.
But Bai Lan’s cultivation is still low now, and he is unable to snatch food from the Nascent Soul’s mouth.
She didn't even consider the valuable treasures, because the success rate of snatching treasures from a Nascent Soul cultivator was about 0.00%. In the face of absolute strength, even reloading the save file couldn't save her.
Her only goal in going to the Boundless Sea was to obtain the soul of the fox clan's ancestor. Even if she broke through to the Jindan stage, she had to at least find a Yuanying cultivator of good strength to accompany her in order to ensure her safety.
"Alas, I am not sure either. But if I don't do something concrete, how can the Fox King admit that I am a member of the Fox Clan? I have no choice but to take a risk once. Only after the success can I prove my identity."
Bai Lan lowered his eyes, looking sad, and his tone was filled with a sense of fearlessness in his response to death.
Ziyu frowned and sighed: "I can't influence my mother's decision at all, you..."
"It's okay, Princess, don't worry about me. This matter has nothing to do with you. How can I make things difficult for you?"
"You saved my life, I can't let you die in vain!" Zi Yu shook her head, her expression flashed, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Got it!"
Here it comes, the classic gift-giving session of saving lives!
Bai Lan was delighted, thinking that Zi Yu was truly worthy of being the Fox King's leaky little cotton-padded jacket.
