A’Zhu and A’Bi stayed quiet like statues for a long while. Even if they were Tool Spirits, even if their main bodies were also Blue Jade Vine and Peach Tree, even if they could mobilize all the spiritual power of the medicine garden to nourish one place at any time, could they still have such weaponry?
The First Wood True Essence couldn’t be quantified as it had been condensed into a spiritual liquid. This drop was enough to make people covet this precious solution which Yang Chen seemed to have poured out without much care. For a time, both women remained in a shocked state without a word.
Only when Yang Chen asked again, did A’Zhu react to some of the questions that her master had asked. She replied quickly, “if this is the case, their spiritual wisdom would be born in at least one year. After which they can start cultivation.”
With this answer, Yang Chen also secretly rejoiced. These Penglai Divine Woods were excellent in appearance, and it conceivably after the opening of their Spiritual wisdom, their aptitude for practice would absolutely not be bad. With these dozens of loyal and devoted subordinates, he could handle a lot more matters.
“Take care!”
Yang Chen urged A’Zhu and A’Bi. Then his body returned to the outside.
A’Zhu and A’Bi these Tool Spirits had already received benefits from Yang Chen. He also promised to sacrificially refine the second layer medicine garden space immediately after he goes out. Thus, they were delighted beyond measure, naturally Yang Chen’s words were in their hearts. They could never forget them.
Yang Chen did not forget his original intention for coming this time. The First Wood True Essence had already been successfully obtained, and the First Wood True Secret Art had already been completely cultivated. Next, he would go look for the future monstrous talent Mu Bai.
After discerning it, Yang Chen drove the shuttle to continue his journey.
The medicine garden was taken into his hands to carry out the overall sacrificial refining. Now Yang Chen’s cultivation base had risen by a large level, his spiritual awareness had become so powerful that it could not be described with words. It was much easier to sacrificially refine than in the past, and a lot of time could be saved.
Originally, Yang Chen had used the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Refining Secret Art, Second Layer Earth Fiend Sacrificial Formation Secret Art and Fourth Layer sacrificial refining. Now simply together with the Dome Hall in the same place, he carried out one sacrificial refining.
In just half a year, Yang Chen sacrificially refined the medicine garden to the Heavenly Spirit Second Layer and Earthly Fiend Fourth Layer boundary. This time with the First Wood spirit power achieving Jiedan realm, Yang Chen immediately tried to carry out the Heavenly Spirit Third Layer and Earthly Fiend Sixth Layer sacrificial refining.
During the process of the sacrificial refining, the beginning was smooth like flowing water. Of course, Yang Chen also understood that this was to the credit of A’Zhu and A’Bi. The entire medicine garden had no resistance at all, and the sacrificial refining was extremely smooth.
A’Zhu and A’Bi looked at all the garden space, and all the soil became a layer of Fifth Earth, and after being refined by the Seventh Metal True Essence, even the land contained the seventh metal aura with an inborn metal feel to it. The surrounding sea was now more spacious, and the First Wood was even more prosperous.
Compared with the plants of the First Wood, the improvement of the Second Wood plants was not very perceptible. First, Yang Chen did not have the Second Wood True Essence. Secondly, he did not have enough Second Wood True Essence Spiritual Solution to nourish all the medicinal herbs of that type.
“I really want to see what rare elixirs are in the ocean.”
A common thought spread from the medicine garden to Yang Chen’s mind. There was no condition before, but now it had a wide ocean and was completely suitable for planting.
“There is a chance.”
Yang Chen gave A’Zhu and A’Bi a message of thought, and then stopped the sacrificial refining of the medicine garden. Then began to go to a lot of places.
According to Yang Chen’s calculation, he had not yet arrived at the forest where Mu Bai was located. However, the surrounding weather had already cooled down for snow to appear.
He remembered that Mu Bai was born in a cypress forest. His spiritual awareness spread widely, and he began to look for cypress woods slowly along the way. Now Yang Chen’s spiritual awareness could cover at least a few hundred miles. As long as his speed was a little slower, he would be able to sense trees, movements and sounds, miles ahead of him as naturally as taking a glance.
After going north for a thousand miles, Yang Chen noticed that there were already many cold storms around. Under the storms’ gales, weaker monsters would be directly injured, not to mention the cold that was mixed with them. Enough to freeze them instantaneously.
If It was just the cold or just the storm, the power would not be that great, but everyone knew that a frozen body can be shattered into pieces with little effort. The cold storm had such an effect.
No wonder that Mu Bai had such high achievements in the future, he had grown up in such an environment. From the moment of germination, he grew up in hardships all the time, experienced countless sufferings, and always faced the test of life and death. If such a monster didn’t have a bright future, it would be a strange thing indeed.
Yang Chen was in the shuttle and did not have to directly bear the storm. However, after detecting the storm, Yang Chen took up the shuttle and switched to his flying sword. Was there anything better than consolidating his cultivation base with this storm?
The bone-chilling cold storm blew on his body which felt just like having countless knives strike it. Even Yang Chen had to work hard to force the storm to fly around his body.
However, soon, Yang Chen discovered that such an effect was not effective, thus, he simply let go of the resistance. He let the storm blow on his body and began to practice the Yellow Turban Strongman Body Refining Technique, relying solely on the strength of his flesh to withstand the storm.
The storm was mixed with ice and snow, and it kept hitting on Yang Chen’s body. His body was like a steel cast. Whatever hit it would be shattered to pieces.
Under such circumstances, Yang Chen unexpectedly discovered that while resisting the cold and storm, the speed of the Yellow Turban Strongman Body Refining Technique cultivation had increased. It seemed that this was due to being under pressure.
With such advantages, Yang Chen was not in a hurry to find Mu Bai. In this large area of snow and ice, while practicing the Yellow Turban Strongman Body Refining Technique, he slowly looked for the rarest cypress forest.
He knew the direction, but he didn’t know the specific location. In this area of millions of miles, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. However, Yang Chen was not in a hurry, as he could refine his body with the Yellow Turban Strongman Body Refining Technique. When he would find Mu Bai would not count for much. Even if he could not be found, Yang Chen would not be annoyed, it could only show that Mu Bai had no karma with him. A person getting chosen as a disciple was also a very fateful matter.
Strangely enough, when Yang Chen slowly moved in this area, he suddenly found a cluster of cypress trees forming a small forest within the range of his spiritual awareness!!!
He had the heart to plant flowers, but he had no intention of inserting willows into the shade. Perhaps this was the case. When Yang Chen noticed this, he smiled slightly. It seemed that this cypress may have a karma with him.
He slowly flew over; Yang Chen’s spiritual awareness began to explore unscrupulously in the cypress forest.
It was not surprising that such a cypress forest appeared in the north, but in this extreme weather, it was somewhat rare.
This cypress forest had been a hundred miles away. Almost no one in this ice sheet would get involved, so there was no trace of smoke or life.
After a powerful scan of his spiritual awareness, Yang Chen soon discovered that there was a spiritual pulse vein under the cypress forest. No wonder there would be so many cypress trees growing there, and how there would be that monstrous talent Mu Bai also growing there.
When the spiritual awareness of the Dacheng realm explored the cypress forest, movements in the forest were all almost seen at a glance. After a while, Yang Chen discovered at least a hundred cypress trees. Their cultivation base was from the qi refining to the peak of the Jiedan realm.
Yang Chen couldn’t determine which one was the cypress he was looking for, so he could only look for it according to his aptitude. Speaking of it, these cypress trees could become monster cultivators with outstanding talents in this cypress forest, otherwise it would be impossible to stand out among almost hundreds of thousands of cypress trees.
However, the cypress that Yang Chen was looking for was a genius. His qualifications for cultivation were absolutely unmatched. Therefore, Yang Chen only needed to find the best one. Of course, the qualifications were not absolute. The acquired character and chances could also change the conditions of a person’s life. People were like this, and the monsters were the same.
Under the pressure of the Dacheng realm spiritual awareness, even the cypress monster that had already reached the peak of Jiedan realm couldn’t help but shiver slightly. Although these cypresses were not transformed, they all looked like enormous trees. It seemed that only the trunk treetops were shaking with the storm, but Yang Chen understood that they were afraid.
A cultivator of the peak Jiedan realm was unscrupulously frightened by a master in the Jiedan realm with Dacheng realm spiritual awareness. Of course, abnormal people like Yang Chen were exceptions.
This group of cypress monsters were in such a state that they all thought that they have been stared at by a master of the Dacheng realm. Thus, they were all stunned, and did not dare to have a trace of any extra movements.
Yang Chen carefully explored each cypress. Soon he knew about their situations. Eventually he concentrated on two particular cypresses.
One naturally was the one cypress with highest cultivation base of the peak Jiedan realm, the other one, was still a little cypress.
As the one with the highest cultivation base, Yang Chen would certainly pay attention to it. However, he found its aptitude being not the best. The reason was that the one with the highest cultivation base was the oldest. It had only reached the present stage under the nourishment of the spiritual veins for many years.
Other was still young but with the best aptitude. Its body held a crown in the middle of a piece of ordinary cypress wood. There was no trace of marks on its long trunk either. The trunk was straight and held no scar or other markings. The roots were very solid and developed, almost several times larger than the surrounding cypresses.
In addition to this, there was another point. This little cypress monster had a kind of spiritual power that was more mellow than other people. Even in the same realm, it was stronger than the surrounding ones.
After confirming these two features, Yang Chen used the Beast Controlling Secret Art to convey his thoughts. Soon he knew the thoughts of the cypress monster of the peak Jiedan realm.
“I don’t know which high-ranking person has come, so, please forgive me!”
As one of the oldest and most privileged cypresses, the old tree of the peak Jiedan realm had naturally become the patriarch of this cypress family. With the oppression of Yang Chen’s Dacheng realm spiritual awareness, the old tree quickly asked for forgiveness.
“We have not offended him! Why we must ask him to forgive our sins?”
One of the thoughts from the cypresses next to it was clearly passed sent to Yang Chen. He couldn’t help but laugh at the expression of dissatisfaction. It was the little cypress that he fancied.
“Hmmm?”
Yang Chen did not speak or get angry, instead he directed the suppression of his spiritual awareness of the Dacheng stage to directly land on the head of the little cypress.
In a short time, the little Mu Bai felt squashed by a large mountain. Yang Chen’s figure seemed to suddenly become the most powerful god. He could crush Mu Bai into pieces at anytime and anywhere.
Under such pressure, the small cypress Mu Bai suddenly burst out and his body suddenly showed a verdant green. The snowflake on the canopy fell, and it went against the pressure of Yang Chen’s spiritual awareness. At first glance, he was like a stubborn kid.
“Interesting!”
Yang Chen sneered. The sneering made the other cypresses shudder.
“Predecessor please appease your anger! Children are not sensible, I also ask the predecessor to forgive!”
The Old cypress saw the situation, and a cold sweat came over his body due to fear. He was just cypress, so he could not sweat. However, he still expressed similarly to show his intention to ask Yang Chen to calm his anger.
This little cypress monster was one of his descendants. Meaning his descendant has offended even his predecessor, how would he not be scared. It would not be a big deal now, if Yang Chen was angered enough to extinguish their entire family. Looking at the level of his spiritual awareness, it would not be a difficult matter either.
Unafraid of the strong pressure, and in the face of the Dacheng realm spiritual awareness, he still dared to express his opinions. He had shown tough willpower for all to see. Yang Chen had confirmed that this little guy was the future generation monstrous talent Mu Bai whom he was looking for.
“If you want to appease my anger, you can.”
Yang Chen directly sent a message to the old tree of the peak Jiedan realm, “this little cypress is very interesting. I intend to accept him as a disciple. What do you think?”
To lift the oppression of the spiritual awareness, he made it necessary for Mu Bai to accept his apprenticeship. This conversion made the old tree feel puzzled for a while. Looking at Yang Chen in a daze, he didn’t know what he wanted to do.
“I see that his qualifications are good, and I intend to accept him as a disciple. What do you think?”
Seeing the old tree in a daze, Yang Chen asked again.
The old tree reacted and hurriedly conveyed his thoughts, “this predecessor can cultivate my grandson, that is his blessing! How he could ask for more?”
“I don’t want to be his apprentice!”
The old tree here expressed the willingness to agree, and the little cypress on the other side said something that they were not expecting. When this was said, the old tree, was anxious enough to cover his mouth.
“You don’t want to?”
Yang Chen had some setbacks. If monster race could find a way to cultivate faster, almost all of them would ask for it. Was this little guy actually unwilling?
