Capítulo 418: The Wasteland’s Number-One Spiritual Root
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shi Hao was shocked. What kind of tree was this? How could it be like this? It was inconceivable!
That fist-sized little figure somersaulted, and then it sat under the tree, not moving at all as if it was cultivating. It actually had a dignified appearance.
Shi Hao licked his lips. That thing was definitely delicious! The flower it produced actually turned into a human form. However, wasn't eating it like this too cruel?
Soon after, he knew that he was overthinking things. There were over a hundred formations separating them, so how could he catch it? It was as if there was an abyss in the void.
The little tree was only a foot tall and was surrounded by a white immortal mist that was hazy and indistinct. The leaves on its branches flickered and sparkled within the mist like stars.
Dong…
Suddenly, the magical artifact formed from the second flower made a ringing sound. The sound passed through, and one could vaguely hear it.
"Did you all hear that?" Shi Hao asked.
"There seems to be a strange fluctuation." The Nine-Headed Lion said with an extremely uncertain expression.
The others also nodded, feeling like this void was no longer ordinary. It was as if scripture sounds rang out, spreading a wave of profound meaning.
Shi Hao was greatly shaken. He felt it even more because he truly heard that sound. His body felt light and his soul gradually calmed down. He almost entered a state of comprehension.
"Such an amazing effect!" Shi Hao was moved. The first flower turned into a human form, but the second flower could allow one to comprehend their cultivation even through over a hundred formations. If they weren't trapped within the formation, what would happen if they were close by?
This was definitely a supreme treasure. To be more precise, it was the most divine and holy spiritual root of heaven and earth. This little tree was mysterious and precious beyond imagination. Shi Hao had never seen such things before!
The little tree was quiet and still. The third flower on top was shrouded in mist, and it was the most mysterious.
The fist-sized little figure sat under the foot-tall small tree as if he was comprehending its cultivation.
The second flower turned into a magical artifact that floated above the little figure's head as if it had already turned into a furnace. Streaks of "magma" flowed out from the furnace's opening, landing on the figure below.
Was it refining its flesh? The more Shi Hao looked at it, the more it seemed to be the case. It was so mysterious. It was just a tree, yet he was watching such a scene.
Shi Hao's face was expressionless, but he found it hard to calm down inside. This little tree was too strange. If he could obtain it, it would definitely be great natural luck!
If he merged with that little figure and used the magical artifact above its head to comprehend cultivation and refine his body, wouldn't that be astonishing?
In the end, the void released a wave of fluctuations. It was clear that the center of the divine valley underwent another transformation. Shi Hao carefully examined it with his dual-pupils to avoid missing anything.
A cauldron rumbled. That magical artifact scattered, turning into a rain of light. Then, it condensed into a flower again before flying back to the little tree.
At the same time, the fist-sized little figure did the same. It broke apart at the sound, condensed into a flower, and returned to the small tree, looking beautiful and alluring.
"How strange!" Shi Hao said to himself. This little tree was too extraordinary. He had thought that the flower had matured, which was why it came off. However, that wasn't the case.
What was that? It had been a long time since Shi Hao was this shocked. Did the flowers on the foot-tall little tree develop intelligence? Even they could transform into human form and cultivate on their own. Just how astonishing was that? He had never heard of this type of spiritual root before.
"What did you see just now?" Huo Ling'er and the others asked. When they saw him speak to himself and the shock on his face, they felt so perplexed.
Shi Hao didn't hide anything and told them the truth, leaving everyone stupefied. The medicinal tree inside was actually that extraordinary? Not even the legendary divine precious medicines could do that.
"No wonder a heavenly ranked deity fell outside the valley, and that little tree was protected by over a hundred ancient formations. It's possibly at the heavenly deity level. It's not a small matter!" The Nine-Headed Lion said.
Shi Hao didn't look away and was still staring at the tree. The three flowers on that small tree were side by side. They were releasing hazy immortal energy, which rose into the air, appearing more and more mysterious.
"One tree, three flowers. It corresponds with the meaning of the Great Path. It's definitely not ordinary, and it matches the profound mysteries of heaven and earth," Yun Xi also said, her beautiful and flawless face a surprised expression.
When the others heard her say this, they were shocked as well.
The Rainbow Luan asked if the holy medicines on the Archaic Divine Mountains had this type of scene.
Not every Archaic Divine Mountain would have holy medicines. After all, they were too rare. There weren't many holy-grade spiritual plants in the wasteland region.
There happened to be one in the Heavenly Divine Mountain, but Yun Xi shook her head, saying that there was definitely no such phenomenon and that it couldn't be compared to the small tree in the divine valley.
"Does this mean that this tree can be considered the wasteland region's number-one spiritual root?" Huo Ling'er said. She rubbed her spotlessly forehead, amazed by this place.
"Perhaps it isn't the spiritual root of this world at all. It's even more astonishing than what we imagined. Otherwise, how could it be like this? Before today, have you heard of something protected by over a hundred ancient formations?" Yun Xi said. After all, she came from the divine mountain, so she knew more than the others.
"In the past, there was a legend that the ancient Medicine Deity's death was related to a spiritual root, and this place is so close to the Medicine Capital. Could it be this tree?" Huo Ling'er said. She recalled some of the imperial palace's records and came to this conclusion.
It was clear that such a deduction was extremely shocking. Everyone was silent.
Regardless, this should be the wasteland region's number-one spiritual root at the very least. While they were shocked, they also had some expectations. When the great formation opened, they would come here to fight for it.
"I feel like when the time comes, this place will flow with rivers of blood and become a place of chaos. This is something that even the ancient medicine deity wants," the Rainbow Luan said.
Shi Hao was tempted. Was the divine valley also going to open during the great chaos of the wasteland region? Why were they all happening together? He began to believe that this little tree might not belong to this world.
"Well, the more I think about it, the more terrifying it is. This is a spiritual root that was carefully sealed and hidden here. If it doesn't belong to this world, is its master still in this world?"
Everyone discussed it among themselves, feeling a bit scared.
The most terrifying thing was that if the creatures that laid down over a hundred formations were still alive, then if they came here in person, they would cause a lot of trouble!
After analyzing it like this, everyone felt a wave of fear. The great sects from outside this region had entered this place precisely to search for an opportunity to seize the natural luck of heaven and earth. This might be a place that matched the conditions.
They couldn't break through the formation now. Even if they knew how rare it was and how astonishing the things inside were, they still wouldn't be able to obtain it. They could only wait for an opportunity.
Shi Hao couldn't calm down because no matter who it was that learned of this secret, they wouldn't be able to remain calm. They returned to the Medicine Capital because they had to think about it carefully.
"Regardless, we need to quickly increase our strength. The wasteland region is going to become chaotic, and something extremely bad will happen."
After Shi Hao returned, he wandered about the limestone-paved streets, visiting old shops one after another to purchase medicinal ingredients. He urgently wished to become stronger.
If he wanted to refine the Minor Nirvana Pill, he needed at least a hundred types of spiritual medicines. Some of them were even more wondrous and rarely seen in this world. It would take many years for one to appear, and they all grew in dangerous places.
Some wondrous medicines were even rarer than holy medicines.
Even though the Medicine Capital was known as a holy land of medicinal herbs, it was still impossible for him to find everything here. He could find at most half of them because the pill recipe was too strange.
Shi Hao couldn't help but sigh with admiration. This was only the first pill recipe, and the spiritual objects needed for the later pill recipes were even rarer.
Regardless of where it was, spiritual medicines were all extremely precious. Having a few stalks was already rare. No one would need over a hundred stalks at once like Shi Hao. He was scared of drawing attention, so he kept an extremely low profile.
He asked the Nine-Headed Lion and the others to split up and purchase on his behalf, but it still triggered a huge commotion. Even in the Medicine Capital, purchasing forty-eight precious medicines in a day was already enough to shock everyone.
"Who is this? How extravagant! What kind of spiritual pill is the person trying to refine? Over forty spiritual medicines in one go. It has been many years since something like this happened!"
No one was stupid. Normally, there wouldn't be such a large amount of transactions on the market. Spiritual medicines were precious, and the amount each family sold had to be recorded. Today, it happened so suddenly, and everyone immediately thought that this might be done by a single person.
Fortunately, the Nine-Headed Lion, Flame Crow, and the others all turned into human forms. Otherwise, they would definitely be recognized, and their true origins would be discovered.
Even though such a great client was rare, such things had happened before. After waiting for several days, the disturbance calmed down, and only then did Shi Hao prepare to refine spiritual medicines according to the pill recipe.
He was still far from collecting over a hundred medicinal ingredients, so he definitely couldn't refine the Minor Nirvana Pill. Some of the main ingredients were too difficult to find, and Shi Hao didn't place his hopes on this place.
The origins of the pill recipe were mysterious. Based on what those old kings said, the effects were extremely astonishing. Shi Hao felt that even if he couldn't gather all of the medicinal ingredients, he could still open up a portion of his body's potential and make a breakthrough.
"I need a slightly larger medicinal cauldron," Shi Hao said. It wasn't just refining pills, he also had to enter the cauldron to refine together.
As for the "Fire Metal Vine" in the Medicine Capital, he never considered it. He couldn't even use it in the middle of the night when there were no people around. There was a creature sitting within that spiritual vine, which made him feel intimidated.
Apart from this, there really was a place in the Medicine Capital that specially provided medicine refinement for cultivators.
Two days later, Huo Ling'er chose a good place for him. The location was rather remote, and it was extremely quiet. Within the enormous courtyard, the fragrance of plants wafted through the air. The pill furnace was also an old cauldron.
"This cauldron has existed for over a thousand years. It contains powerful spirituality that can increase medicinal effects," the owner of this place explained.
Shi Hao nodded. This cauldron was glistening yellow and was clearly frequently wiped. Meanwhile, when clear water was poured into the cauldron, it would release a wave of medicinal fragrance. It had obviously been used in refinement countless times. Only after accumulating over time could it produce such medicinal characteristics.
Such a cauldron was extremely rare. Any one of them would fetch an astonishing price.
Of course, the rent wasn't cheap either. Shi Hao only rented it for three days, yet he had to pay the price of three stalks of spiritual herbs. This was a bit unreasonable, leaving everyone speechless.
However, no matter how high the price was, he still had to pay for the sake of his breakthrough. He had to refine himself together with the spiritual medicine, so the cauldron he chose had to be extraordinary enough.
This was especially the case with the pill recipes passed down from Stone Clan's ancestors. They were even more particular about these things. Medicinal cauldrons without spirituality weren't enough to refine pills, or else he would fail and obtain nothing.
"I am preparing to temper myself, open up my body's potential, and strive to break through. All of you, protect me." Shi Hao instructed them.
