Chapter 239 - 233: Cultivation Technique_l
Giant Tree Ridge was originally not home to so many spirit trees.
After the True Monarch Yuanyuan planted three divine trees, over six thousand years passed before the current flourishing scenery came to be.
The three divine trees are known as the Everlife Wood. Because the spirit vein of the Giant Tree Ridge contains both earth and fire attributes, they proliferate and form the unique tri-yang Spirit Trees of Giant Tree Ridge.
Chen Mobai was most familiar with the rank-1 Red-sun Spirit Tree.
When he first joined the Divine Wood Sect, he has even earned a fortune in Spirit Stones from chopping and splitting wood in the Bud Hall.
This type of spirit tree grows quickly and the general usage is for firewood, while its bark and leaves can be used to make talisman paper.
The rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree, however, is very valuable. Generally, only one out of ten thousand red-sun spirit trees could possibly advance to become a Green-sun Spirit Tree.
This type of Spirit Tree has many significant uses. Aside from burning and making talisman paper, the tree juice also serves as a second-grade spiritual medicine.
Moreover, because of the transformation and absorption of enough earth and fire energy, the tree’s spiritual power is balanced and harmonious, making it an on-demand material for artefact refining.
The Divine Wood Sword that Chen Mobai borrowed before was made from Green-sun Spiritual Wood, and most rank-2 puppets made by the Divine Wood Sect also use this material.
Even mortal humans who wear a piece of Green-sun Wood could potentially be invulnerable to chills and free from all diseases.
The Green-sun Spirit Tree’s next evolution is the rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.
The transformation of this type of tree is extremely harsh. It comes from the imbalance of its body’s three attributes of earth, wood, Qi and fire, resulting in the fire spiritual power absorbing and swallowing the other two, ultimately transforming into Green-sun Fire, which then burns itself.
A Green-sun Spirit Tree that can withstand this calamity can then transform into rank-3.
However, in the thousands of years of Giant Tree Ridge’s existence, Green-sun Spirit Trees capable of nurturing fire seeds without being turned to ash are very rare.
“Green-sun fire? Spirit fire generated inside the tree! Could this be the ‘Fire in Wood’!?”
Upon reading this, Chen Mobai remembered an TV show he watched as a child, in which a young deity, who resided in his mother’s womb for three years, became the disciple of a sage after causing trouble.
The young deity collected three fire types: Fire in Wood, Fire in Stone, and Fire in Air and cultivated a terrifying Immortal Technique – “Samadhi True Fire”.
This True Fire can burn stones and hills, nothing can escape it, dominating everything.
However, because the extraction of the “Fire in Wood” requires burning a lot of forest resources and is very harmful to the environment, it has been explicitly prohibited by the Immortal Gates for practice for thousands of years.
But here in Giant Tree Ridge, because the Red-sun Spirit Trees grow prolifically, the Divine Wood Sect frequently assigns woodcutting missions in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Chen Mobai immediately took out his mobile phone.
He uses his alternate account, Tortoise Immortal, to log on to the proxy “Dao Cultivation Technique Library” and typed in “Samadhi True Fire”, surprisingly yielding a result.
It’s a pity, this Immortal Technique is a divine skill derived from the Tian Shu, to prevent those from the Immortal Gates from wasting time on it, downloading and checking it requires rank-4 permissions. The software of the Immortal Gate, which the Tortoise Immortal operates, is only a rank-3 user. Chen Mobai looked regretful.
Even if he could download the Samadhi True fire, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate it with his current realm.
With this matter put to the back of his mind, Chen Mobai went back to looking at the crux of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation – the tree seed.
Condensing tree seeds is also a major business in the Divine Wood Sect, as the disciples who practice the longevity scriptures are most common.
If there is no tree seed to accompany, to bring out the full power of this cultivation method, one cannot leave the land of the spirit tree, making it quite inflexible.
The rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed is the cheapest. The lower grade ones only need 20 Spirit Stones to purchase.
After all, Red-sun Spirit Trees are ubiquitous, and even when condensing tree seeds fails, there is not much loss.
However, the rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree is different.
Back in the day on the Green Light Island, the Spirit Tree that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui were guarding along with Wang Yuanwu, was a Green-sun Spirit Tree.
This type of Spirit Tree is a major resource of the Divine Wood Sect to open the market and even for battle, the complete transplantation of thirty-six of them can establish a large-scale “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation”.
The large formation draws in the essence of the earth’s veins and connects the heaven and earth’s elemental energies to condense the formidable “Sacred Tree Divine Light” of the Longevity Scripture.
Chen Mobai has witnessed the power of the “Sacred Tree Divine Light”
The rank-2 Demonic Beasts, when hit directly, are instantly vaporized.
As such, every Green-sun Spirit Tree is considered a strategic resource of the Divine Wood Sect. It would not be considered for condensing any tree seeds, and losing any one of them could result in responsibility being pursued by the sect.
But Chen Mobai is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator. For him, the rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed is just a practice.
On the other hand, the Green-sun Tree Seed of rank-2 has prices ranging from two thousand to over ten thousand Spirit Stones in the sect, depending on the quality.
After all, there is a huge difference between each level of rank-2.
The top rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree can even attempt to condense the Green-sun Fire.
In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, there are long-standing tasks to acquire Fire-Green Sun Seeds with prices starting at ten thousand Spirit Stones.
Even though it’s expensive, every time Green Sun Tree Seeds or Green-sun Fire Seeds go on sale, they are immediately snapped up.
Chen Mobai remembered the Sect’s competition, his adversary Mu Yuan seemed to have a rank-2 Green-sun Tree Seed, but under Chen’s overwhelming Rainbow Sword Qi, he was soundly defeated.
Looking back now, Mu Yuan, being the Sect Leader’s disciple, had he not been overshadowed by Chen Mobai’s dazzling emergence, he would have likely been the champion of the Sect competition last year.
Chen Mobai realized he was still too poor..
