Chapter 609 The Soul-Nourishing Wood Buried at the Bottom of the Valley
Da Bai swatted away the impolite hand with its paw and laid its cards on the table, saying, "Alright, I lose, Master. Give each of the three of them a thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
"What's going on?" Mu Zhen smiled on the surface, but cursed inwardly.
Why should I pay for your loss?
Goodness, they're betting a thousand right off the bat? That's way too big a bet!
You don't care about money that isn't yours, huh?
"Let's make a bet: whoever slips up first will have to give the other three a thousand spirit stones!" Big White flicked its tail and jumped onto Mu Zhen's shoulder.
He didn't care at all about losing money.
It's not like it's paying for it!
"We still have to give the little guy some face in public," Mu Zhen said casually, taking out two thousand purple crystals and giving them to Aunt Wan.
"Hehe, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously!" Aunt Wan didn't seem inclined to accept the reply.
Before Mu Zhen could speak, Da Bai objected: "How can this be? A bet is a bet, so you can have it!"
It goes without saying that it bullied the two juniors because of its cultivation level.
"Uh... alright, but you need spirit stones more than we do."
"After we defeat the Wen family's people together, just give us two Imperial Weapons!"
She saw it all: over thirty Mahayana cultivators, each with an imperial weapon.
They didn't even have a single Dao artifact, no wonder they were so persistent with the young friends.
"That works too!" The other party readily agreed, and Mu Zhen didn't stand on ceremony with her.
There are many places in the Spirit Realm that produce spirit stones, but the Eastern Kingdom has not a single spirit vein.
When it comes to the battle against the Wenren family, Wan Gu and the others are going to help anyway, and two imperial weapons won't be enough.
Let’s see then.
"Tell me, why did you arrive so early?"
Wan Gu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and shook the storage ring on her finger: "Two. This time, we owe it all to Zhuoyin; we followed its instructions..."
They didn't dare to change their expressions in the slightest, which is how they successfully snatched the Dao Fruit.
Although they were pursued by a larger-than-expected number of people during their escape, thankfully they escaped unharmed!
"How did they give up the pursuit?" Mu Zhen used his divine sense to probe the surroundings, wondering if they were hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"If we can't catch up, of course we have to give up!" Big White proudly raised its head.
"There are hundreds of fruits on the tree along the main road, and over a hundred of them are ripe. When we arrive, those people will already be fighting amongst themselves."
Big White rushed over, picked two, and ran off, leaving everyone stunned.
"However, the Wen family also picked three, and they left the battle zone when we departed," Ling Ge added.
Mu Zhen raised an eyebrow: "Did they spot you?"
Wan Gu and her husband must have altered their physical appearance at the time, but Da Bai and Zhuo Yin were difficult to disguise.
Those who are family know their own situation; they couldn't obtain a magical artifact that could also disguise the contracted beast.
Big White shook his head: "They're too far away for us to notice, otherwise they would have caught up with us long ago!!!"
"That's good. We need time to break through. Let's not talk about this for now."
"Big Wolf, where is that secret place you mentioned?" Huangfu Zique asked as he looked at the black wolf.
Being struck by lightning would give them an extra hundred years of life.
Looking at his watch, Zhuoyin said that the people he had heard about always came around 7:10 pm, during which time they had to complete their breakthrough.
Then I heard that someone else had already ascended to the Heavenly Gate.
Looking up at the single building suspended in mid-air a hundred miles away, it really is just a door standing in the clouds.
As if only then noticing the Fairy of Flying Flowers standing behind her, Wan Gu asked, "Who is this? A half-step into the Fusion Realm, why bring her here?"
Fairy Feihua hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Junior Feihua greets all seniors!"
"We met them on the way, we'll talk about it later." Mu Zhen glanced at the black wolf.
"Over there." The big wolf pointed with his chin to the distant river that was faintly visible in the clouds.
Wan Gu hesitated, thinking, "This can't really be considered a secret place, can it?"
The tribulation of advancing to the Mahayana stage consisted of seventy-two lightning bolts, creating a tremendous spectacle.
Even though this place is far from the Great Tree, it will still attract the attention of others.
"You mean you want us to break through on the river with so many of us?"
Black Wolf had already started walking in that direction: "There's no river there, only a valley."
Mu Zhen hurriedly followed: "Another illusion array?"
"Yes, it's a naturally formed illusion array. This place is located within the clouds, so the lightning tribulation should be no more than a kilometer from the ground."
It wouldn't cause much of a stir, and the illusion array could even block out sound.
"Perhaps that place was once a special ritual site used by the monks of Zenko Temple for breakthroughs..."
The sound faded into the distance with their footsteps.
Fairy Feihua did not follow, but instead headed towards the Heavenly Gate, deciding to wait for everyone there.
She has a deep understanding of formations, and perhaps by the time those people arrive, she will have already extracted the relics for them.
This way, we can avoid the Wen family's pursuers and directly activate the teleportation array to return to the mother world!
With a clear blue sky and no clouds, standing in the valley, everyone felt as if they had entered a strange fairyland.
It's not that the environment is particularly beautiful, but the air is really... very pleasant to smell.
Besides the fragrance of flowers and grass everywhere, even the soil seemed to carry a refreshing aroma.
"The air here is so fresh. Since I came in, I feel much clearer-headed and I've never felt so relaxed when I breathe."
Mu Zhen couldn't really describe the feeling, but in short, his mind was very clear, and even if he were to study here now, he would no longer feel bored.
I'm so reluctant to leave!
If he could move the entire valley back, he would like to live there for the rest of his life.
Wan Gu also noticed this; such a calming and tranquilizing effect could not be achieved by dense spiritual energy.
Thinking of something, he squatted down, placed his palms flat on the ground, and slowly probed his consciousness into the ground along the palms.
A moment later, he exclaimed with delight, "A small spiritual vein has been sealed underground, and..." He looked up at everyone, "Ten thick Soul-Nourishing Woods!"
Fu Tingyu fiddled with the folding fan he had kept since leaving the Demon City, his eyes flickering slightly. He walked over to Wan Gu and humbly asked for her guidance.
"Can the Soul-Nourishing Wood clear our minds?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhen also sank his divine sense into the ground and discovered that there was indeed another world below.
It was a pentagonal array platform of moderate size, with a wooden pillar, one meter thick and six meters long, standing at each of the five corners.
The pillar is simply carved with a long dragon of a different color.
Those five colors, everyone knows, correspond to the five elements.
The engravings on the array platform are not complicated, and the energy that supplies the array to operate normally should come from the groove in the center.
There was a large purple spirit stone protruding from the bottom.
Presumably, the small, top-grade spiritual vein lies beneath the groove.
If arranging the Soul-Nourishing Wood in this way can achieve the same effect as in the valley...
All six people, including the little giant pit, slowed their breathing and waited quietly for the answer.
Xiao Jukeng felt that he needed to learn about array formations in the future.
She can't always rely on the system database; if it gets swallowed up by someone again someday, she'll still become useless.
