With the addition of the gourd, the absorption speed of the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution was several times faster. Although the vast lake was hundreds of feet deep, but under the control of Yang Chen, the gourd could gather a zhang worth of depth within a day.
This kind of good thing could be had but not demanded. In the gourd, Yang Chen could use at anytime, anywhere. There was also an old tree demon in the Pure Yang Palace. Next, he will see the little monstrous talent Mu Bai, also Sun Qingxue had wooden attributes. These were unfathomably precious gifts.
However, during the collection process, Yang Chen did not dare to relax his vigilance, and always kept the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution on the verge of breaking out. The two Dacheng realm city lords, who though had guaranteed that they were not tempted, if tried to go against their claim and tried to snatch the gourd, he could detonate it at any time.
This was also a shock, one couldn’t do anything about it, even if the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution was not useful for the two people, this gourd could gather it, and make the city lords have no worries for the future as well. In any case, the two would not let Yang Chen leave like this.
The more than a hundred feet deep First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution Lake, was gathered in more than 100 days, nearly five months. The deep lake had been reduced inch by inch, till there was only a few feet of depth left.
While the bottle gourd received the First Wood True Essence Spiritual solution, the bottle of the medicine garden did not stop gathering it. The Penglai Divine Woods were maturing every day due to the irrigation of the solution. It appeared as if the absorption would continue endlessly. Every day, the Penglai Divine Woods grew taller and longer, the aura that came out was getting closer and closer to the purest form of First Wood True Essence.
Penglai Divine Wood was the closest to the Essence of the First wood, this First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution was the best catalyst for its irrigation. In just over half a year, even the worst Penglai Divine Wood was now stronger than the one that Yang Chen used to refine for the First Wood flying sword.
The portal in the medicine garden was also becoming more and more dense and seemed to be able to form quickly.
Of course, the First Wood flying sword, which acted as the medium, had also undergone tremendous changes. However, the change of First Wood flying sword was mainly in its aura, not the shape.
Whether it was Yang Chen condensing Dan or the bottle in the medicine garden absorbing the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution, it was necessary to use the First Wood flying sword as a medium. After such a long time, it had thickened after being refined.
Yang Chen’s First Wood Golden Dan, these days was not idle, it still madly absorbed the First Wood True Essence. This could be compared to Yang Chen refining a small vial of Fifth Earth, Tenth Water and Seventh Metal True Essences, with their respective Secret Arts and the constant cultivation to enhance these spiritual powers.
In just five months, Yang Chen’s First Wood Golden Dan once again inflated to a large circle, and the spiritual power level was directly at the peak of the early Jiedan stage. It seemed that he would soon enter the middle Jiedan stage.
However, Yang Chen did not feel particularly rushed. Although these spiritual powers were purely First Wood True Essence, they were not cultivated by himself. If it wasn’t natural, he would lack a natural understanding. Only by constantly consolidating it would he be able to completely use these spiritual powers himself.
Seeing that all the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution here must get absorbed by Yang Chen, he also began to ponder how to leave safely.
With so many First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution, the two city owners would never be willing to watch Yang Chen take it away. In particular, Yang Chen’s gourd could gather the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution, which could solve the hidden dangers of the city forever, so it was even more difficult for him to leave easily.
Just because Yang Chen was now in control of the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution that could explode at any time, the two city lords were so tolerant of him. On the one hand, it could be regarded as a temporary solution to the hidden dangers of the entire city. On the other hand, it was a moment to wait for Yang Chen to put his guard down.
In the moment when all the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution was collected by the gourd and Yang Chen put it into his Achievement Ring. Even if someone killed Yang Chen in this world, it was impossible to get the gourd from the Achievement Ring.
However, Yang Chen’s body still had an aura of the First Wood True Essence about to erupt. This kind of aura could also stimulate Yang Chen’s own spiritual power.
Without the First Wood True Essence Spiritual solution, there was a huge space around it, and a trace of the First Wood True Essence aura was coming from all directions. Yang Chen understood that this place must be where the Immortal left behind the formation to collect the First Wood True Essence. Because it had been so long, there was too much First Wood True Essence accumulated here, and due to the pressure, it became a spiritual liquid.
Yang Chen estimated that this city was discovered too late by the later Monster Race. In the future, if someone could collect the First Wood True Essence that had been gathered in time and prevent the situation of accumulation of a sizeable quantity, all problems would be solved.
There was no light in the day, Yang Chen’s spiritual awareness had been explored, and there was nothing else worthy of his hands anymore. He took the First Wood flying sword and directly flew up into that strange liquid.
In the liquid, Yang Chen’s spiritual awareness couldn’t explore very far, but Yang Chen believed that even the city lord’s spiritual awareness was impossible to pass through these liquids.
Yang Chen was hesitating, if he should also gather some of it. But after thinking for a bit, he finally chose to give up.
Everything here was left by the slain Immortal. Yang Chen had already received the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution he had left. He had already accepted the reward of the immortal.
If he wanted to forcibly collect these liquids, once the entire city was affected, the Immortal’s cave would probably be destroyed. This kind of practice of taking things without leaving room was not Yang Chen’s style.
Even if he was to leave a place for the development and reproduction of the Monster Race, Yang Chen was not afraid. The Daoists, Demons, and Monsters were cultivators between heaven and earth. Since even the Heavenly Court had left a place for the Monster Race, Yang Chen did not have heart to do anything about it.
All the way up, the force that could follow the spiritual awareness to pull people down was long gone. Yang Chen went up smoothly and entered the pool.
As the water pool rose again, Yang Chen would soon be out of the water. However, just after going out of the water, Yang Chen saw two old people, one left and one right, standing on both sides of the waterhole, smiling and watching Yang Chen.
At this time, Yang Chen was not afraid that his spiritual awareness would be attracted, and directly let go of his spiritual awareness to explore the movement around. However, under this investigation, Yang Chen was shocked.
Within the scope of Yang Chen’s exploration, apart from the two old people in front of him, there were only monster cultivator masters who had formed an encirclement in the distance, no one else.
That was to say, during the time when Yang Chen collected the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution in the first half of this year, the two city lords actually dismissed the entire city’s Monster Race cultivators, leaving only the masters of the Yuanying realm. It seemed that they wanted to seize Yang Chen in one fell swoop.
“Greetings to the two city lords.”
Finding this arrangement, Yang Chen did not care. He came out of the pool, took a few steps forward, and then stood in a place where he could see both old men at the same time. Arching his hands to the two, he greeted, “many thanks to the two seniors! This younger generation junior thanks you.”
“It may be worthwhile.”
The old man on the left smiled.
“Everyone is the same in the Monster Race lineage, and mutual correlation is appropriate.”
The old man with a cane on the right followed his companion. He was the second city master.
“This younger generation junior had been practicing here for a while and did not dare bother the two predecessors. So now this younger generation will take his leave.”
Yang Chen once again said to the two men and turned to leave.
Yang Chen always kept the First Wood True Essence in an unstable state. The two city lords did not block him at this time. Just pointed at Yang Chen and nodded, standing in the same place, watching him leave.
They waited till Yang Chen went far through the entrance of the city. Those Yuanying realm masters could still be detected by him, but they were all outside a certain distance.
According to the spiritual awareness of the Jiedan realm, it was absolutely impossible for Yang Chen to find these Yuanying realm masters outside. To be on the safe side, those Yuanying realm masters were even hidden outside the scope of the exploration of the masters of the Yuanying realm, that was how much they were afraid of him.
No one knew, that Yang Chen actually had the spiritual awareness of the Dacheng realm. Even if these Yuanying realm monster cultivators were careful, everything was clear in his mind.
Standing at the exit of the city, Yang Chen turned his head and glanced at the city again, then stepped through the exit. In a flash, Yang Chen’s figure appeared above the Ten-thousand Trees Forest.
The First Wood flying sword appeared directly at the foot of Yang Chen. His figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, flying rapidly towards the centre of the Ten-thousand Trees Forest.
After a few breaths, the figures of the two city lords appeared in the place where Yang Chen had just come out. Subsequently, dozens of Yuanying realm ancestors were behind them.
“Escaped?”
The second city owner seemed to be able to sense the direction of Yang Chen’s escape. He sneered and asked, “is everything ready?”
“City lord, everything has been arranged properly.”
A monster cultivator of the Yuanying realm replied respectfully behind him.
“Good, wait until he leaves the Immortal’s cave to get a thousand miles away.”
The second city lord said, the people shook and disappeared.
The big city lord just stood there and did not move. The Yuanying realm masters behind him, stared at him while awaiting orders. The big city master was silent for a while, then jerked his head, and the dozens of Yuanying realm masters showed a happy colour on their face.
Brush! Their figures flew around and vanished in a moment.
Seeing the departure of the crowd, the big city lord stood in the same place for a long time, and then slowly turned around. His body shape disappeared, but he did not move to catch up with Yang Chen but returned to the Immortal’s Cave.
The two city lords must always oversea the Immortal’s Cave. Otherwise, others would take advantage of it. For the Monster Race, it would absolutely be a disaster.
Yang Chen’s figure had already entered the Ten-thousand Trees Forest. After the flying sword flew away from the big banyan tree for a hundred miles, the aura of Yang Chen’s body suddenly changed and became a scent of the Second Wood aura. Then he sank and disappeared directly under the dense canopy of the forest.
The second city master that had been chasing after Yang Chen did not expect this move from him. He subsequently lost the First Wood spirit power aura. When he hurriedly explored with his spiritual awareness, he discovered that Yang Chen’s figure had long been drowned in the forest, even if he tried his best, he could not find the trace.
Letting a descendant of the Jiedan realm get rid of him right under his own eyes, how could the face of the second city master who was a master of the Dacheng realm continue to hang on? He almost went crazy, directly driving his magic weapon into the place where Yang Chen disappeared, and his spiritual awareness went wide open, looking for any trace.
The many Yuanying realm masters had already laid down the Formation in the Ten-thousand Trees forest. When Yang Chen absorbed the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution below, the city lords began to arrange it, demobilizing all the residents in the city, and at the same time arranging the formation in the Ten-thousand Trees forest.
The array method had only two functions. First, if there was no specified token on the body, it will appear in the battle formation. And the tokens of such Yuanying realm masters could get guidance and point out the direction of Yang Chen’s escape. Another function was to control the explosive power of the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution within a range without affecting too large a region.
The second city lord was a little angry out of shame. People disappeared in his surveillance. In the end, they had to rely on the array of the masters of the Yuanying realm to find him. This was simply a shame.
However, no matter how the second city lord let go of his spiritual awareness to search, they could not detect the traces of Yang Chen. He seemed to have turned into a tree or shrub himself, disappearing from the space of all people’s vision and exploration.
Fortunately, the well-arranged array method had finally started, which dozens of Yuanying realm masters had spent half a year to arrange the array, which was still very surprising.
The absorption of the First Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution took Yang Chen half-years’ time, allowing the two city lords to have enough time to arrange it. In this array, anyone with no token and a cultivation base over Jiedan realm would be displayed precisely.
The direction of Yang Chen was displayed on the token of everyone. Unanimously, the second city master and all the Yuanying realm masters simultaneously rushed in that direction.
The second city master almost chased after him while gnashing his teeth. This time, if Yang Chen was able to flee under this heavy encirclement, the face of this master of the Dacheng realm would definitely be squeaky.
What everyone didn’t think of was that they chased and soon saw Yang Chen’s figure. However, Yang Chen did not have the panic that they imagined, nor the kind of jade that burned in jade, but stood quietly above a huge canopy over, as if waiting for them to come.
“I don’t dare about the city master and all the seniors’ hard work, this younger brother is leaving.”
Yang Chen’s voice came from far away, and it was as clear as one speaks near someone’s ear.
Later, everyone saw that Yang Chen’s figure began to shoot at a distance. Everyone used all their horsepower to catch up, but only looked at his going farther and farther in vain. No one could catch up.
Looking at the distant Yang Chen gradually fading into a smaller figure, the second city master suddenly bit his lips, his body swayed, suddenly turning into a hundred zhang long goshawk with double wings. He then suddenly followed.
