Chapter 267: Companion spiritual plants, the sacred tree formation!

A spring of spiritual energy, the size of a water vat, gurgled forth, appearing before Lu Changsheng.

“This is…a Spirit Eye Spring!?”

Ling Zixiao exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Spirit Eye Spring before her.

“Spirit Eye Spring.”

Xiao Xiyue’s clear and beautiful face also showed a hint of surprise.

Although a Spirit Eye Spring wasn’t as astonishing as a Rank Three Tree King,

it was still a rare treasure, coveted even by Golden Core cultivators.

After all, having a Spirit Eye Spring was equivalent to having a spiritual vein and dense spiritual energy wherever you went.

“That’s right, it is a Spirit Eye Spring.”

“The Sumeru needs a considerable amount of spiritual energy, and relying solely on the spiritual vein of Azure Cloud Peak is far from enough.”

“Therefore, placing this Spirit Eye in the blessed land can greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient spiritual energy.”

Lu Changsheng said, looking at the Spirit Eye Spring before him.

It was also his first time seeing the appearance of a Spirit Eye Spring.

He could clearly feel that the spring water in the Spirit Eye Spring was as crystal clear and brilliant as spiritual liquid, scattering wisps of pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

“With this Spirit Eye Spring, the Tree King’s spiritual energy problem will indeed be greatly alleviated.”

Ling Zixiao said after a moment of silence.

She had previously discussed the issue of the Rank Three Tree King with Lu Changsheng.

At that time, she was curious about how Lu Changsheng planned to solve it.

She never expected that Lu Changsheng’s solution would be so simple and crude, placing a Spirit Eye Spring in the blessed land.

“Is this the taste of the Spirit Eye Spring water? This is the first time this concubine has tasted it.”

Ling Zixiao walked to the Spirit Eye Spring, scooped up some spring water with her hand, put it to her lips, and tasted it gently.

She only felt a pure spiritual energy permeate her body.

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and also scooped up some spring water to taste.

He felt that the taste was average and not particularly delicious.

However, this kind of spring water was like spiritual liquid, instantly turning into pure spiritual energy after entering the abdomen.

“Xiyue, have a taste.”

Lu Changsheng smiled at Xiao Xiyue, who was standing aside.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue also stepped forward and gently tasted a mouthful of the spiritual spring, saying, “The taste is average, but the spiritual energy is very pure.”

“Indeed, this spiritual energy effect would be excellent for brewing wine.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Then, he called out to the Sumeru Tree King, “Sumeru.”

“Master, please instruct me.”

The Sumeru Tree King’s voice resounded in the blessed land.

Hearing this ethereal voice and seeing Sumeru’s respect for Lu Changsheng, Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

If they didn’t know that this voice came from a Rank Three Tree King,

they would have thought it was a little maid raised by Lu Changsheng.

“Dig a small pit here, and I will plant the Spirit Eye Spring.”

Lu Changsheng said.

The Spirit Eye Spring could merge with the earth’s veins, transforming into a true spirit eye and nourishing the cave dwelling.

If he wanted to take it away, he only needed to dig out the Spirit Eye Spring again.

“Yes, Master.”

The Sumeru Tree King said.

Immediately, a small pit appeared in front of the Longevity Hall.

Lu Changsheng put the Spirit Eye Spring down.

The Spirit Eye Spring slowly grew larger, merging with the small pit and transforming into a small pond about ten feet in size, constantly emitting dense and pure spiritual energy.

“To build this place into a secret cave dwelling for daily cultivation, one Spirit Eye Spring is still a bit lacking.”

“I still need to find a few more spiritual eye objects to create a spiritual vein here and raise the spiritual vein of Azure Cloud Peak.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the situation before him, stroked his chin, and thought to himself.

Then, he asked Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue if they had any ideas or suggestions for the construction and transformation of this place.

“Changsheng, you can build this place as a small cave dwelling, such as reclaiming spiritual fields and medicine gardens here, and raising spiritual beasts here…”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the scene before her and became a little interested.

In her opinion, this place was Lu Changsheng’s new home, and she naturally wanted to take the lead in designing it well.

“Currently, the spiritual energy of Azure Cloud Peak and the Spirit Eye Spring is just enough to supply the few of us and Sumeru for cultivation. If we reclaim spiritual fields and medicine gardens, it will be at most Rank One soil.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He also felt that this place was a very good base for his family.

He could boldly and confidently use many core things in this world.

For example, the Golden Beetle Mother and the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.

Moreover, it was very convenient to farm and raise fish in the blessed land.

As the master of this world, as long as Sumeru Tree King had enough strength and spiritual energy, it could directly evolve Rank Two soil and Rank Two fisheries.

Unlike the spiritual veins outside, where the reclaimed spiritual field soil had to be slowly cultivated and the earth veins combed.

“Changsheng, if you need Spirit Source Pearls, Qingyun Sect should be able to exchange them.”

“When I go back this time, I’ll do a few more tasks, and my contribution will be almost enough to exchange for a Spirit Source Pearl.”

Xiao Xiyue said softly.

She also saw that Bihu Mountain was currently a bit tight in terms of spiritual energy.

“It’s okay, it’s still barely enough for now. I’ll tell you when I really need it, Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart, held Xiao Xiyue’s slender hand, and said softly.

Xiao Xiyue had already delayed a lot of her cultivation due to being pregnant and accompanying Lu Wangshu for more than two years.

How could he be embarrassed to let her take on tasks and waste time for his Spirit Source Pearl?

“Husband, I wonder what other supernatural abilities Senior Sumeru has besides this blessed land.”

“Didn’t you say before that Senior Sumeru also has to guard Bihu Mountain?”

Ling Zixiao looked at the situation in the blessed land, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, and then she asked Lu Changsheng.

“Abilities?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng called out to the Sumeru Tree King, “Sumeru.”

“Master…”

Sumeru’s pure and ethereal voice resounded from between heaven and earth, and she began to introduce herself.

She stated that her innate talent was to nurture a world within her body, forming a blessed land that could regenerate endlessly.

She could evolve the world within her body through her own growth, and she could also use the world within her body to feed back to herself, accelerating her growth.

In addition to this world within her body, she also possessed a supernatural power, the Sumeru Mandala Barrier!

Once the barrier was released, it could seal and suppress enemies.

If she fought outside, her combat power would be at the early stage of Rank Three, and her attack range would be almost the entire Bihu Mountain.

However, the more distant the target, the greater the consumption for her and the weaker the power.

If she was in this world, she would be invincible at Rank Three!

Even a Golden Core peak cultivator could be sealed and suppressed.

In addition to these two innate supernatural powers, she also had a kind of ability.

That was to cleanse people’s hearts, making them feel peaceful and having some effect of suppressing inner demons.

This ability also extended to her as a whole.

For example, cultivating next to the Sumeru Tree King or carrying her branches with you would have some effect of concentrating the mind and calming the heart.

“Sumeru, can your branches be planted and grown?”

Hearing about the branches, Lu Changsheng paused and asked.

He knew that some branches, when they were just broken off and still had vitality, could be planted and cultivated alive by spiritual planters.

If the branches of the Sumeru Tree King could be planted, cultivated, and revived, then wouldn’t his wives, concubines, sons, and daughters not have to worry about cultivating the ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique’ in the future?

“Master, unless a large amount of original vitality is consumed to nurture them, ordinary branches cannot regain their vitality…”

The Sumeru Tree King said.

She stated that she could make the branches plantable and growable, but it would require her to consume a large amount of her life origin to nurture them.

This branch was already equivalent to her natal spiritual plant, a part of her life.

“Consuming original vitality, natal spiritual plant.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded.

He knew that the Sumeru Tree King could do it, but the consumption was too great.

He didn’t continue to ask more questions.

He planned to wait until the Sumeru Tree King’s situation improved before considering whether to let her nurture a natal spiritual plant.

“Zixiao, what were you going to say just now?”

At this time, Lu Changsheng looked at Ling Zixiao and asked.

“Husband, I saw Senior Sumeru and this Sumeru blessed land, and I thought of a great formation…”

Ling Zixiao’s eyes were like autumn water, bright and spirited.

“Great formation?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Xiyue also looked at Ling Zixiao with some curiosity.

Through so much time together, she also knew that Ling Zixiao was a great formation master.

Her attainments in formations were extremely high, basically no weaker than the Master Mo Shouren she had invited before.

“That’s right.”

Ling Zixiao smiled slightly, her voice crisp, “This concubine has a Rank Two top-grade formation called the Divine Wood Formation!”

“It uses living heaven and earth spiritual plants, spiritual trees, and demon plants as the foundation of the formation to set up the formation.”

“After seeing Senior Sumeru, I had an idea in my mind: using Senior Sumeru as the core, the Sumeru blessed land as the main body, and the formation as the auxiliary, to set up a ‘Forbidden Great Formation’ comparable to Rank Three!”

“A Rank Three great formation requires a Rank Three spiritual vein to maintain its operation, but with Senior Sumeru present, there is no need for Rank Three spiritual vein support.”

“Once the great formation is complete, when encountering danger, there is no need for Senior Sumeru to take action. We can directly activate the formation and bring the enemy into Senior Sumeru’s blessed land.”

“Once inside the blessed land, Senior Sumeru can directly suppress the enemy without causing any disturbance to the outside world.”

Ling Zixiao’s eyes were bright and spirited.

She knew that once the Sumeru Tree King took action, it might cause a great disturbance.

Setting up a formation would not only add a layer of concealment, but also raise the level of the great formation of Bihu Mountain to another level.

At the same time, as a formation master, she also wanted to realize her ideas and formations.

For example, she had only ever set up a weakened version of the Rank Two lower-grade Divine Wood Formation.

She had never set up a Rank Two top-grade Divine Wood Formation.

The latest novel is available on Six Nine Book Bar!

Now, seeing the Sumeru Tree King and considering using such a Rank Three Tree King as the core of the formation to set up the Divine Wood Grand Formation, my heart is filled with anticipation and a strong desire to try it.

“Divine Wood Grand Formation, a Rank Three Forbidden Grand Formation!?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

He knew that there was a world of difference between Rank Two and Rank Three formations.

Rank Three Grand Formations, known as Forbidden Grand Formations, form their own world, with no weaknesses or flaws, completely incomparable to Rank Two Grand Formations.

He didn’t expect Ling Zixiao to say she could set up a Forbidden Grand Formation comparable to Rank Three.

“Zixiao, is this Divine Wood Grand Formation troublesome? Will setting it up affect Sumeru?”

Lu Changsheng asked Ling Zixiao.

“It’s very troublesome. First, we need to use Senior Sumeru as the core to set up the Divine Wood Grand Formation, and then connect it to the ‘Azure Water Sky Great Formation’ of Azure Lake Mountain through formations within formations and layered formations.”

“When the formation isn’t in operation, it will continue to appear as the current Azure Water Sky Great Formation. Once the Divine Wood Grand Formation is activated, it will transform into a quasi-Rank Three ‘Divine Wood Grand Formation’, catching people off guard.”

“However, the Azure Lake Mountain formation is currently layered with the Azure Sea Grand Formation of Azure Water Lake, and the formation hasn’t been completely set up yet. Now, if we connect the Divine Wood Grand Formation, some problems will arise during the process, so I don’t have a 100% guarantee.”

“But this Divine Wood Grand Formation won’t affect Senior Sumeru. If there is any impact during the process, we can stop at any time.”

Ling Zixiao said excitedly, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation for the challenge.

She has been able to reach this stage in the art of formations because, in addition to her innate talent, she has always sought breakthroughs and challenged herself.

“Usually appearing as the Azure Water Sky Great Formation, but once the Divine Wood Grand Formation is activated, it transforms into a Rank Three Grand Formation…”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and called out to the Sumeru Tree King: “Sumeru.”

“Sumeru will listen to Master’s arrangements.”

Sumeru’s voice was still so ethereal and pure, bringing peace to the mind.

“Alright, in that case, let’s do as you say, Zixiao.”

“However, your body hasn’t recovered yet, so don’t push yourself too hard. Take your time with the formation, don’t rush.”

“If there are any matters concerning Sumeru during the setup process, you can communicate directly with Sumeru.”

Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao.

He knew that setting up a grand formation required a lot of mental energy.

Ling Zixiao had just finished setting up the ‘Inverted Five Elements Formation’.

Now, she was about to set up an even more complex and troublesome ‘Divine Wood Grand Formation’, which made him worried about Ling Zixiao’s body.

However, he saw a hint of desire in Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes and didn’t want to disappoint her.

“Thank you, Husband. I will take care of myself.”

Ling Zixiao said with a charming smile on her elegant face upon hearing this.

“Xiyue, Zixiao, now that we have Sumeru guarding the house, I’ll leave the affairs of the house to you.”

“I will go to Red Leaf Valley Market Town for a while to prevent any danger to Green Bamboo Mountain and Red Leaf Valley Market Town.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Although the details of the Demonic Cultivator Remnants incident were still unclear,

he still planned to stay in Red Leaf Valley Market Town for a while in case anything unexpected happened.

“Don’t worry, Husband.”

“Alright, Changsheng, don’t worry.”

The two women responded upon hearing this.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng told Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen about his trip to Red Leaf Valley Market Town.

After hearing this, Lu Miaohuan expressed her desire to return to Green Bamboo Mountain and stroll around Red Leaf Valley Market Town.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t refuse and said he would take Lu Miaohuan with him tomorrow.

After all, Red Leaf Valley Market Town wasn’t far from Azure Lake Mountain, and he had to return every so often to treat Ling Zixiao’s body.

Especially now that Ling Zixiao was setting up a grand formation, he needed to pay more attention to her health.

That night.

Lu Changsheng treated Ling Zixiao all night, and the next day he took Lu Miaohuan to Red Leaf Valley Market Town.

Due to the Demonic Cultivator incident, the traffic in Red Leaf Valley Market Town had declined somewhat.

However, the traffic in Red Leaf Valley had never been very good in the past decade.

Ten years ago, the four major families finally held an auction, which slightly increased their reputation and traffic, but a Demonic Cultivator raid wiped out all their efforts.

Then, in the past decade, the Demonic Path incidents and the four major families’ preoccupation with their own affairs led to a mediocre reputation, and few rogue cultivators came to Red Leaf Valley Market Town.

After all, rogue cultivators generally prefer to find stable and reliable large market towns to settle down.

Although Red Leaf Valley Market Town offered many welfare policies to rogue cultivators, it still lacked competitiveness.

Now that he had the time and leisure, Lu Changsheng also took Lu Miaohuan to inspect their own industry shops in Red Leaf Valley Market Town to check on the situation.

Currently, the talisman shops and fishing shops were still doing well.

Although the puppet shop had opened, it had only been open for more than a month and had little business.

Lu Changsheng knew that this kind of thing needed some time to ferment, and more people would buy it when the reputation and word of mouth improved.

After all, Red Leaf Valley Market Town was so small, and most rogue cultivators were at the bottom of the cultivation world, making it difficult for them to spend two hundred spirit stones to buy a puppet.

After staying in Red Leaf Valley for ten days, Lu Changsheng sent Lu Miaohuan back to Green Bamboo Mountain and returned to Azure Lake Mountain to treat Ling Zixiao.

Ling Zixiao also took out a formation blueprint for Lu Changsheng to review.

She said that during this time, she had reorganized and adjusted the formation situation of Azure Lake Mountain.

The Azure Sea Bibo Grand Formation, arranged with thirty-six Azure Sea Pearls in Azure Water Lake, was no longer connected to the Azure Water Sky Great Formation.

This formation served as a pure auxiliary formation, nourishing the spiritual veins, fish, and shrimp in Azure Water Lake, allowing the spiritual veins in the lake to be promoted to Rank Two as soon as possible.

At the same time, it used water to generate wood, connecting the spiritual veins of Azure Water Lake to the Sumeru Tree King.

Once the grand formation was completed, it could use the spiritual veins and spiritual energy of Azure Water Lake to nourish the Sumeru Tree King.

Furthermore, it could use a hazy mist to further conceal the situation of the Sumeru Tree King.

As for the Azure Water Sky Great Formation and the Divine Wood Grand Formation, they remained unchanged.

Under normal circumstances, the grand formation was still the ‘Azure Water Sky Great Formation’, while the internal core formation was the ‘Divine Wood Grand Formation’. The two formations could be switched through the Sumeru Tree King.

“You can handle this yourself.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

He didn’t understand formations, but he trusted Ling Zixiao.

Moreover, the Sumeru Tree King could detect and sense any problems with the Divine Wood Grand Formation.

After treating Ling Zixiao and briefly accompanying his wives, concubines, and children, Lu Changsheng returned to Green Bamboo Mountain and Red Leaf Valley Market Town to guard it.

Thinking of the previous matter where Old Ancestor Xu had asked him to draw a ‘Profound Frost Talisman’ for Xu Ruyin, Lu Changsheng thought about it and realized that it had been almost three months.

Immediately, he drew two Profound Frost Talismans and had the Zheng family in Red Leaf Valley Market Town notify Xu Renguang.

At the same time.

Nine Dragon Market Town.

In a small courtyard.

“Brother, these four families are all staying behind closed doors, and even when they go out, they conceal their whereabouts.”

“I think there’s no need to delay any longer. Let’s resolve them sooner and avenge Fifth Brother.”

A middle-aged man with a jade-like face and feminine eyebrows said.

“That’s right, these four families together have no more than five Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they are all trash Foundation Establishment cultivators in the early stage. Except for Lu Changsheng, who has the inheritance of talismans and formations, there’s no need to care about the others.”

A burly, bald man with scars on his head sneered and said.

“Second Brother, I investigated earlier and found that although the Zheng family of Centipede Ridge doesn’t have any Foundation Establishment cultivators, they invited a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the mid-stage from the Xu family of Yu Water to guard the place.”

Tao Xiaolan, dressed in a peach-colored dress, said.

“Just a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the mid-stage.”

“Moreover, this Xu family cultivator may not be willing to get involved in this muddy water.”

The bald man sneered and said, not taking the Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator seriously.

“Indeed, there’s nothing to hesitate about. I think Fifth Brother is a little impatient these days.”

“Has the Azure Cloud Sect made any moves these days?”

The red-robed man sitting in the main seat said casually.

“The Azure Cloud Sect doesn’t have the leisure to worry about this kind of thing. The beast tide has just ended, and they’re probably still busy.”

The middle-aged man with a jade-like face and feminine eyebrows sneered.

“In that case, let’s do it in five days. It’s a good day for killing.”

The red-robed man also sneered upon hearing this.

“Thank you, Brother!”

Fang Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and stood up and cupped his hands.

After returning to the Azure Cloud Territory, the seeds of hatred in his heart sprouted rapidly, and he eagerly wanted to take revenge.

These days, this seed of hatred had turned into a towering tree, causing images of his parents’ tragic deaths to constantly appear in his mind.

He knew that in the past decade, hatred had been the driving force, spurring him forward. Now, it had become his obsession, his inner demon, and he had to resolve the obsession in his heart through hatred.

“Hehehehe, in that case, in five days, Fifth Brother and I will play with them first.”

“When the people from their four families gather, Brother and Second Brother will take action and let Fifth Brother take revenge happily.”

The thin, shadowy black-robed old man laughed sinisterly.
