From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

Chapter 240: Essence of Plants and Trees

The way this Yimu spiritual gold is nurtured is different from that of the third-level spiritual gold of other attributes.

The Gengjin aura from deep underground condenses on the surface, mixed with a large amount of wood-attributed vitality.

And because it is naturally produced, it is of extremely high purity.

This is also the reason why Qi-refining practitioners can obtain it in the secret realm without having to go through the step from raw ore to spiritual gold.

Otherwise, even if you exhaust your spiritual energy, you will never be able to extract third-grade, top-quality spiritual gold from the ore.

The vitality-nourishing effect of Yimu Lingjin can act on the spiritual consciousness, and therefore can prolong the lifespan of cultivators above the foundation-building stage.

Half a thumb-sized piece of spiritual gold can extend the life of a foundation-building master by thirty years.

If Jindan Zhenjun absorbs a fist-sized piece of spiritual gold, he can extend his life by forty years.

Anything more is wishful thinking, as the effects of life-extending spiritual objects are difficult to stack.

The world is not so easily fooled, otherwise if a small cultivator is wealthy enough, he could be immortal.

Without thinking too much about it, Chen Yu put away the Yi Mu Ling Jin.

The spiritual gold ore inside the mountain is the more common blue obsidian spiritual gold. For him, no matter how much more he has, it is not as good as the small piece in his hand.

There are abundant spiritual plants in the Lingmu Forest, and you can discover new species almost every few miles.

It seems that because there are no monsters to eat them, most of them are of high quality.

Fortunately, I brought a few extra storage bags with me, otherwise the puppet's abdomen alone would not be enough to hold everything.

Chen Yu became even more curious about the secret behind this. Could it be that, like the predecessor of the Thunder Tribulation Twin Swords, it was a powerful creature born from a spiritual plant?

While exploring, Chen Yu noticed that there was a creature peeking at him from a hundred feet away.

At first he thought it was a spiritual plant and almost let it fool him.

The strange thing is that it has no bones, blood or flesh, but it has spiritual energy as condensed as true essence.

But the scent of the plant makes people doubt its origin and even whether it is a real living creature.

Chen Yu stretched out his left hand slightly and captured it through the air.

The creature only felt the world spinning around him, and instantly found himself in the palm of the spirit puppet.

Chen Yu thought it looked quite strange, with a green complexion and thin limbs.

It is only three feet tall, with a small crown on top.

His cultivation is at the initial stage of foundation building, and his foundation is quite solid.

Once this one is discovered, its fellow species further away will naturally be unable to hide either.

However, unlike the handsome and enchanting elves in his impression, these creatures looked strange and their skin and hair were not all green.

The spirit puppet released all of his cultivation, and the aura of the early golden elixir stage shook the entire forest at the bottom of the lake.

Chen Yu doesn't like to look down on others, but strong cultivation is a necessary guarantee to get the other party to sit down and have a good talk.

After a while, a trembling figure walked out of the dense forest.

A shriveled old man only two feet tall, with a gray-brown face full of wrinkles like cracked bark.

He was not good-looking, with short limbs, green hair, and a white beard half the length of his body on his chin.

He was wearing a green coarse cloth, which was actually made of true essence.

This seemingly inconspicuous old man is actually a creature in the foundation-building stage.

There is no need to guess to know that the other party does not understand its language, it directly expresses its meaning with spiritual consciousness.

"I am honored to meet you, Master. I was not aware that you were coming and was unable to come to greet me. I beg you to forgive me."

The spirit puppet bowed in return and said, "I am just a casual person, there is no need to welcome me or not.

I have no intention of disturbing you, I just come here to look for opportunities.

I don't know why you are spying on me."

This puzzled the monster. Could it be that this cave was the residence of its clan of plant elves? What were you, an outsider, doing here?

It can only explain this way: "Well..., my people have no ill intentions.

It’s just that it was born in a cave and has long regarded this place as its residence.

Seeing a monk walking in the house, I couldn’t help but come over to take a look.”

After hearing this, Chen Yu understood that he had become a bad guest.

It turns out that this natural formation is different from other places. The rich vitality almost turns into substance.

Coupled with the just right concentration of spiritual energy, it is extremely beneficial to the birth of spiritual intelligence in plants and trees.

However, as his cultivation level grew, his skin became thicker and he began to chat with the other party.

"I am Huoyun, my secular name is Yang Zhan, I wonder what your name is?"

Although Chen Yu kept smiling, he restrained his breath again.

However, the sight of a Jindan Zhenjun standing in front of it still made it tremble with fear.

He replied in a timid and fearful tone: "My race is not like humans, and I did not have a name when I was young.

After achieving the foundation, he named himself Zhuoyu. "

As he spoke, the spirit puppet stared at the other party intently, and the old man's heart tightened when he was stared at by him.

The vitality of the humanoid creature in front of him seemed to be fading abnormally slowly, and the speed of his spiritual consciousness collapse was the same.

According to a rough estimate, he has at least two hundred years to live.

Although he could guess the bone age of the monk, he could not find any reference basis for this kind of completely unfamiliar creature.

"Oh, may I ask how old you are now, fellow Taoist?"

“I was originally a bush, and after 170 years I grew into a human form.

After another forty years of cultivation, he broke through the foundation-building stage and has been able to walk freely for more than three hundred years. "

This clan has a long lifespan, and their bodies are also beneficial for spiritual practice.

Although it cannot directly increase lifespan, it can nourish the spirit and compensate for injuries.

The vitality and spiritual energy contained in it can enable low-level cultivators to quickly increase their cultivation.

Although there are seven foundation-building people in the clan, in the eyes of Jindan Zhenjun, they are as weak as babies.

Even if they cannot use it themselves, it is still a precious thing for their disciples.

Once known by other monks, they will inevitably become captive cultivation resources.

But now that the True Lord is in front of me, there is not much point in hiding it.

Chen Yu estimated that its lifespan was about six hundred years, which was twice that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

This does not include the time it spent in the form of a tree, after all, its spiritual intelligence was not yet awakened at that time.

Based on this, the plant and tree spirits present can live for at least three hundred years.

Although the essences of plants and trees are better resources for cultivation than spiritual stones and medicines, not many people know of their existence, and there are few records of such creatures in classics.

Just like those elves that were born and raised naturally, they only appear in vague legends.

From the conversation, Chen Yu learned the reason why there were no monsters in the cave.

The plant elves are not a purely kind-hearted group, or in other words, no one can be immune to the law of natural selection.

This cave was originally inhabited by monsters and beasts, but they were hunted down and killed by them over the course of many years.

Any cultivator or monster that accidentally breaks into the formation will either be killed outright or imprisoned until death.

The spirit of plants and trees comes from spiritual plants and is good at taking care of plants.

But after Chen Yu learned more about it, he gave up the plan of introducing some into the Lingzhu Space.

Ultimately, the birth of these plant essences is closely related to the natural spiritual formation here.

Like the demon race, they are also a concept that is formed by combination.

The plants themselves are of different species, so they naturally cannot reproduce with each other.

Even if they are of the same origin and race, it is difficult for them to have offspring because of God's jealousy.

Given the small size of the space, it was naturally impossible for Chen Yu to divide the already limited power of heaven and earth.

When the spirit beads grow to a certain size, setting up a large formation will naturally allow this ethnic group to evolve.
