Chapter 320 Spiritual Spring Tree
Qinling Mountains, Aoshan.
Two streams of light, one red and one white, descended from the top of the mountain. They were Qin Mo and Bai Long.
As far as the eye can see, there is no trace of a monster on the entire mountain. Even the monsters with a little intelligence have received the news in advance and fled.
It really proves the saying that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
"Master, the Qinling Mountains are blessed with beautiful scenery, with many famous mountains and rivers. Why did the Bull Demon King choose such a remote place as his nest?" Bailong was puzzled.
Qin Mo, who was walking in front, said with a smile: "Bull Demon King is not stupid, there is something else going on here."
While talking,
The two of them entered the Bull Demon Palace. Needless to say, it was empty.
Not to mention the valuable glass palace lanterns and golden throne, even the daily pots and pans were looted by the monsters, and not even a pair of chopsticks was left .
"That's it, can the treasure still be kept?" Bai Long became more and more suspicious.
"Hey," Qin Mo said with a smile as he walked deeper into the hall, "How can a truly good treasure be known to outsiders? Just wait and see."
Arriving at the back hall, Qin Mo found the quiet room where Bull Demon King usually practiced with ease.
It was equally empty inside. Not only was the cushion used for meditation by the Bull Demon King taken away, but even the spirit stones embedded in the spirit gathering formation in the quiet room were pried away one by one by the little demons.
I have to say, the demon race is really crazy because of poverty...
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged. He fumbled on the wall and found a slightly raised area. He pressed hard and with a loud bang, the ground cracked, revealing an underground entrance.
"It turns out there is another secret."
Bai Long's eyes flickered. This mechanism may seem crude, but it is actually extremely ingenious.
Even with Bai Long's spiritual sense, he had not discovered anything unusual about this quiet room before. This showed that some advanced concealing magic array was engraved on it.
Qin Mo had already walked down the stairs underground. The passage was deep and dark, and there were no lighting objects such as night pearls or fluorites inlaid.
I don't know if it's because the Bull Demon King is low-key or because he's poor...
The steps were in a spiral shape, winding all the way down. Bai Long paid special attention and secretly calculated that at this speed, they had walked down at least 500 meters.
The further down you go, the richer the spiritual energy in the passage becomes.
When you reach the end of the passage, you have basically reached the bottom of Aoshan Mountain.
Up and down,
The hidden truth is a bit deep.
After reaching the end, the originally narrow space suddenly became wide, and it turned out to be a naturally formed cave with many passages inside.
The upside-down stalactites were covered with a layer of white frost, and white liquid was dripping, dripping.
"Ten thousand year old stalactite?"
Bai Long could tell the age of these stalactites at a glance. Although he was a little surprised, he was still a little disappointed. This thing was actually not that rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
Especially for a powerful earthly immortal like him, it is of no use at all.
At most it can be used as a drink.
If this is the treasure the master is talking about, then it is too shabby...
Qin Mo simply ignored these thousand-year-old stalactites and walked straight into the depths of the cave. The deeper he went, the denser the spiritual energy became, even forming clusters of spiritual mist in the air.
After passing through the cave and reaching its deepest part, Qin Mo subconsciously held his breath when he saw something not far away.
Bai Long also stopped, his eyes wide open.
At the end of the cave, there was a pool of water about one acre in size. The spring water was gurgling and clear, and the bottom was visible. There was a spiritual mist lingering above it all year round.
That's not a pond, it's just a spiritual spring.
The bottom of the pool was covered with a thick layer of crystal clear spirit stones of varying sizes, resembling pebbles and crystals, all of which were top-grade spirit stones.
There are some unknown magical green grass growing by the pond.
The wealth of the dragon clan is well-known in all the heavens and worlds, but as a member of the dragon clan, Bai Long has never seen such a large spiritual spring. The only spiritual spring in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is only the size of a well.
Compared with this, it's really nothing.
The most important thing is not the spiritual spring, but a small tree about one meter high growing in the center of the spiritual spring.
The tree was also strange, with only branches but no leaves. Moreover, every branch, even the smallest twigs, was crystal clear, like crystal.
"Spirit, Spirit Spring Tree!" Bai Long's breathing became rapid.
This is a treasure of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers in the mountains and rivers, and over the years, spiritual veins will form. Where spiritual veins gather, there is a certain chance that spiritual springs will be born.
The water from the spiritual spring is a treasure.
In the early years, Qin Mo traveled to the Zhu Xian subcontinent, and the spiritual liquid he obtained from the treasury of the Emperor of Heaven was the water of the spiritual spring. Later, he used it to cleanse his eyes and trained a pair of spiritual eyes.
The spiritual spring slowly evolves and expands, and with a little chance, it may produce the spiritual spring stone.
It is also commonly known as the top-grade spiritual stone.
This is also the only known source of top-grade spirit stones.
If the spiritual spring continues to expand, and with a little more opportunity, there is a one in a billion chance that a spiritual spring tree will be born.
It is also the most top-level spiritual material known to date.
As far as Bai Long knows, in the entire earthly immortal world, there are only a few top immortal gates such as Yuxu Palace and Laojun Temple that have the legendary spiritual spring tree.
It seems that there is not even Jin'ao Island.
Having said that, although the Lingquan trees are said to be miraculous, they themselves are of no great use. If you say that we should cut off their branches and use them as spiritual stones, that would be a waste of natural resources.
Because it is the purest spiritual plant, it seems that it cannot be used to refine weapons.
Basically, it is worshipped by major immortal sects and regarded as auspicious objects. However, the top-quality spirit stones that are continuously produced under the tree are the most cost-effective.
According to legend, when the Lingquan Tree grows tall enough, it will bloom Lingquan flowers and bear Lingquan fruits, which are true treasures from heaven and earth.
Rumor has it that the fruit from the spiritual spring is comparable to an elixir, and if a mortal takes one, he or she can instantly become an immortal.
The problem is,
No one has ever actually seen the fruit of the spiritual spring.
Because the growth rate of the Lingquan Tree is so slow, it is estimated that it only grows one centimeter every hundred years.
That is to say,
The spiritual spring tree in front of you has been growing for tens of thousands of years.
Just when Bai Long was in a daze, Qin Mo had already taken action. He first summoned the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower, enlarged it, and stood beside the spiritual spring.
Then, Qin Mo continued to make hand gestures.
Along with Qin Mo's movements, a rumbling sound came from deep in the earth veins, accompanied by a faint dragon roar.
With the help of his spiritual eyes, Qin Mo could clearly see that the spiritual veins that converged at the spiritual spring transformed into spiritual dragons that gathered at the bottom of the spiritual spring.
"Master, are you going to move this spiritual spring away?" Bai Long finally reacted.
"What else? Should I just leave it here as a decoration ?!" Qin Mo couldn't be like the Bull Demon King, who would tie himself up here for years just because of this spiritual spring.
The best thing to do is to take it away.
After learning about the existence of the spiritual spring from the Bull Demon King's memory fragments, Qin Mo had already made up his mind to transplant the entire spiritual spring to the top floor of the pagoda, which was where he meditated in seclusion every day.
Such a good treasure should of course be carried around with you.
“…”
Bai Long was speechless. "Master, this spiritual spring was born from the spiritual vein here. Even if you move the spiritual vein away, after all, without the beauty of the mountains and rivers and the replenishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, I'm afraid this spiritual spring tree will stop growing."
It's simply a sin!!!
"If it doesn't grow, then it doesn't grow. Do you really expect it to produce some spiritual spring fruit?" Qin Mo was open-minded and didn't feel sad at all.
According to legend, for the Spirit Spring Tree to bloom, it must grow to at least two meters tall.
That is to say,
Qin Mo will have to wait at least another ten thousand years, by then the opportunity will be gone.
Even if the Lingquan tree blooms, it will take another thousand years from blooming to fruiting, and another thousand years from fruiting to maturity. With this amount of time, Qin Mo would have already passed the tribulation and become an immortal several times.
Only an immortal sect like Yuxu Palace has the patience to wait for generation after generation.
Qin Mo doesn't have that patience.
Bai Long thought about it and felt that what the master said made sense , but he still felt a little sad.
Oh, the Spiritual Spring Tree,
Such a rare spiritual root of heaven and earth, and it is about to be destroyed.
Qin Mo's hands did not stop moving. After gathering the surrounding spiritual veins under the spiritual spring, he continued to cast spells, preparing to move all the surrounding ten acres of land.
These lands are nourished by spiritual energy all year round. They are first-class spiritual fields, and it would be a pity not to take them away.
Boom, boom, boom…
Under the influence of Qin Mo's great magical power, the sky and the earth around him immediately collapsed. The ten acres of land and the spiritual spring were dug out by him and sent to the top floor of the pagoda.
Wait until you have time,
Qin Mo would then refine the top layer carefully and the task would be complete.
Bailong, who was standing by, could only envy what was happening. Just as he was about to leave, he saw his master taking out another gourd and starting to collect thousand-year-old stalactites from the cave.
“…”
"It's really a bandit style. He scrapes the ground three feet deep and doesn't waste anything." Bai Long's face twitched.
Who are these people???
Qin Mo, however, did not have such awareness . Although he was rich, he could not waste it. For him, the thousand-year-old stalactite could temporarily replenish his magic power when he was injured.
Even if it is not used, it is good to leave it to the disciples.
Bailong is not in charge of the household and doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
Only after all the thousand-year-old stalactites in the cave were plundered did Qin Mo feel satisfied. He brought Bai Long out of the underground and came to the Bull Demon Palace on the top of the mountain again.
"Master, what should we do next?" Bai Long asked.
In his opinion, after killing the Bull Demon King, the next step should be to find a blessed place in the Qinling Mountains, build a cave dwelling, and live a leisurely life of cultivating immortals.
For those who practice Taoism, a simple and ordinary life is the real life.
If you fight and kill all day long, one day you will be killed. So what's the point of practicing to become an immortal and pursuing longevity?
Qin Mo had already made plans. He took out a jade slip and threw it to Bai Long. "This is the location of the nests of several demon generals. Let's split up and deal with these demon generals before the three demon kings unite."
What he thought was that it would be good to consume some of the demon clan's strength, and the key was that he could also earn some experience points. Although he couldn't compare to the demon king, a mosquito was still meat no matter how small it was.
Bai Long: “…”
He really underestimated the shamelessness of his master...
