Chapter 260 Demon Cultivator Conference
First of all, there are the characteristics of the fairy root.
Immortal Roots: The descendants of innate spiritual roots, take root in chaos, absorb the power of chaos to grow, and convert part of the power of chaos into immortal energy, releasing it around to form a blessed land.
"Rooted in chaos, transforming immortal energy?"
Seeing these words, Fang Chen's eyes widened instantly. Doesn't this mean that as long as the Fairy Peach Tree sprouts, the world of cultivation will soon be able to return to the level of the fairy world?
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he continued to check another characteristic that he could sense.
Longevity: The branches and leaves emit a refreshing fragrance. Breathing them regularly can prolong your life, up to doubling your lifespan. They bloom and bear fruit regularly, and eating peaches in different maturity cycles can have different life-extending effects.
The effect of this feature is not much different from the peaches that Fang Chen knows, but he did not expect that the fragrance in the branches and leaves of the peach tree could double a person's lifespan.
"If that's the case?"
An idea suddenly occurred to him and he immediately put it into practice.
"Replacement feature - High-level Moonlight."
"Alternative feature - Sun."
Whether it is Immortal Root or Longevity, there is no unique characteristic marked behind the two characteristics, so Fang Chen felt that he could use the Tianyanxi method to store the two characteristics.
No matter how you look at it, these two features are extremely versatile and have incredible effects.
The Immortal Root perfectly replaces the Moonlight System's characteristics, not to mention longevity.
Isn't it for the sake of longevity that cultivators work hard to improve their realm?
With this method of prolonging life, the future prosperity of the Immortal Dynasty is almost foreseeable.
However, reality gave him a heavy blow.
Even though there are no labels after these two features, it does not replace any features, and the original two features do not disappear.
In general, nothing happened.
That’s not the case. At the beginning, as usual, the true energy began to be consumed, and then it stopped.
"What did you do? Just now your blood, essence, and spiritual consciousness seemed to be drained away by some unknown thing. If I hadn't locked your energy and spirit in time, you would have been drained out now."
Just as Fang Chen was thinking about what was going on, Zhu Yueyao's anxious voice sounded in his mind.
"Taken away? I understand. I'll go back now and tell you what happened later."
Zhu Yueyao's words made Fang Chen instantly have some guesses. He said goodbye to Zheng Pingkang who was standing there and protecting him, and quickly returned to the top floor of the bamboo building.
"What happened?"
As soon as Fang Chen came back, not only Zhu Yueyao, but Yue Yunni on the Moon Goddess Flower also cast her eyes on him. The situation just now was indeed strange, and they were also afraid that Fang Chen might have an accident.
"The thing is like this..."
Fang Chen naturally would not hide the fact that he had many questions to ask these two people regarding the Fairy Peach Tree, and he would definitely explain the whole cause and effect to them.
"The seeds of the Immortal Peach Tree. I didn't expect you to find such a good thing in the Star-Moon Sea. But you are really something. The Immortal Peach Tree is the descendant of an innate spiritual root. You actually rashly tried to copy its characteristics. Should I say that you are courageous or you are ignorant of your own life?"
Zhu Yueyao held her forehead, not knowing how to evaluate Fang Chen's behavior.
"Well, I see there are no special signs behind these two characteristics, why can't they be copied? Is it because my cultivation is too low?"
Fang Chen knew that even though he was the one who possessed the Tianyanxixi method, the two people in front of him were better than him in terms of understanding of this supreme Taoist art.
So he expressed his conjecture.
"That's right. The Immortal Peach Tree is one of the best among all the immortal plants. If you want to copy its characteristics, the consumption required is not something that a mere foundation-building cultivator like you can afford."
Zhu Yueyao nodded, then looked at Fang Chen with some surprise. She didn't expect that he could think of this reason on his own.
"Didn't they say that using the Heavenly Propagation Method mainly consumes the source of Heavenly Dao? Why do they have requirements for my cultivation?"
After getting Zhu Yueyao's confirmation, Fang Chen began to have doubts again.
This is also the reason why he was not sure whether this conjecture was correct at first.
"Every time you use the Heavenly Propagation Method, don't you feel the consumption of mana or true essence? This consumption is used to build a channel with the Heavenly Dao, and then provide enough Heavenly Dao essence."
Seeing that he really didn't understand anything, Zhu Yueyao patiently explained it to him.
"So, the Heavenly Dao Origin required to replicate the Immortal Peach Tree is too much, and I must build a larger channel to provide a sufficient amount of Heavenly Dao Origin? As a result, my consumption has also increased significantly."
After Zhu Yueyao said this, Fang Chen roughly understood what was going on.
"exactly."
Seeing that Fang Chen understood this himself, Zhu Yueyao was very satisfied and didn't say much.
"I always feel that you are not very enthusiastic about the Immortal Peach Tree. It can take root in chaos and transform immortal energy."
After he no longer had any doubts, Fang Chen realized a problem, which was that Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni's reactions to the Fairy Peach Tree were too cold.
Transforming immortal energy means that the world of cultivation can be promoted to the world of immortals. This is the main goal of the Moon Goddess after she divided the world. Now that it is possible to achieve, how come she doesn't look excited at all?
"Well, you don't think that the Immortal Peach Tree can transform into immortal energy once it sprouts, do you?"
When Zhu Yueyao heard Fang Chen ask this, she was surprised and looked at him in disbelief.
"Is not it?"
Fang Chen scratched the back of his head, not knowing if there was anything wrong with his understanding.
This is the introduction to the characteristics detected by the Tianyanxixi Method, word for word is correct. This is the supreme Taoist technique, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.
Even if the immortal seeds need immortal energy to take root and sprout, Tianyu also said that Yue Yunni can attract innate spiritual energy, and innate spiritual energy can also make the immortal seeds sprout.
As long as it sprouts and takes root, won’t everything go smoothly from here on?
“If these immortal seeds were allowed to absorb enough immortal energy in the immortal world, then it would be true. However, since these immortal seeds have been in the cultivation world for a long time, the immortal energy in their bodies has dissipated.
"Using the spiritual dew or the innate spiritual energy in the Five Elements Cave to nourish it continuously can allow it to take root and sprout again. However, based on the current condition of the immortal seed, the peach tree that grows will probably only be a second-level spiritual plant."
Zhu Yueyao shook her head and also felt that this was quite a pity.
"Second-level spiritual plant? What's the use of it?"
Fang Chen was instantly deflated. He originally thought that he had found a shortcut to save the world of cultivation, but he didn't expect that this road was blocked.
"How can it be useless? Even if it is only a second-level spiritual plant, it is after all the offspring of the innate spiritual root Pantao tree. It can still take root in the chaos, but the spiritual energy it releases will only be equivalent to a second-level spiritual vein."
Seeing Fang Chen like this, Zhu Yueyao also said words of comfort.
“Of course, since they are immortal species, these Immortal Peach Trees can still continue to advance. As long as they are cultivated into immortal-level spiritual plants, they can release immortal energy. However, since they are the descendants of innate spiritual roots, the difficulty of cultivation is even greater than the Moonlight Spirit Grass.” Yue Yunni also added that the cultivation world today has moonlight spiritual plants that can establish a connection with the Moon God Palace, and the demand for Immortal Peach Trees is not very great.
"So, the Immortal Peach Tree can be used as a substitute for the Moonlight Spiritual Plant?"
Based on the descriptions of the two people, Fang Chen also came to a conclusion.
The two did not refute this conclusion, but just nodded slightly.
"I see. It seems that the Immortal Peach Tree is definitely not worthless. After all, the Moon God Palace is in chaos, and there is no shortage of saints among the Saint Clan. If the Moon God Palace is found by them, we can still have the Immortal Peach Tree as a replacement to ensure that the cultivation world will not lose the hope of ascending to the immortal world."
After getting the confirmation from the two, Fang Chen became excited again and placed all his hopes on the Moon Goddess Palace for the possibility of the cultivation world being promoted to the fairyland again. To be honest, he had always been very worried.
Now that we have two paths, our ability to resist risks has been greatly enhanced.
What's more, the Fairy Peach Tree can be absolutely controlled in their own hands. As long as the origin of the Heavenly Dao in the world of cultivation is not lost, they have hope of turning the tables.
"What you said makes sense. How many seeds of the Immortal Peach Tree did you get?"
After hearing what Fang Chen said, Yue Yunni's expression became solemn, and then she agreed with his statement.
As the builder of the Moon God Palace, he only has the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor. The Moon God Palace has not been discovered until now. It is indeed as Fang Chen and Tian Yu thought, its body is a chaos treasure that is good at hiding.
The Moon Goddess also obtained this treasure by chance, and eventually established the Moon Goddess Palace, ending the previous chaos in the Fairy World and establishing order for the world.
The Chaos Treasure is indeed extremely powerful, and even a Saint needs recognition before he can control it.
However, the Saint Clan is indeed powerful. Not to mention controlling the Moon God Palace, if they really use some means to restrict it, it would be a disaster for the world of cultivation.
That means that the world of cultivation will forever lose the possibility of ascending to the world of immortals.
They became the fish on the chopping board of the Holy Clan.
In order to avoid this situation, it is indeed necessary to use the Fairy Peach Tree as an alternative.
"Six."
I don’t know what Yue Yunni was thinking, but Fang Chen still answered her questions truthfully.
“Give one of them to me. I will draw the innate spiritual energy from the Moon God Palace to help it germinate as soon as possible. The Immortal Peach Tree that grows from this seed will be planted in the world of cultivation.
“As for the other five, plant them in the Five Elements Cave Heaven. The spiritual dew in the Five Elements Cave Heaven is produced by the innate five elements spiritual objects and also contains innate spiritual energy, which can make the Peach Fairy Tree sprout.
"The Five Elements Cave Heaven does not have the projection of the Moon God Palace, so the Moonlight Spiritual Plants cannot function. It is still too slow to develop with only one first-grade superior spiritual vein. The five peach trees are equivalent to spiritual veins that can grow, and in the Five Elements Cave Heaven, the peach trees will also grow faster, which is killing two birds with one stone."
Yue Yunni also made plans for the six seeds in Fang Chen's hands.
There was no reason for Fang Chen to refuse. In fact, if Yue Yunni hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't even have thought of the importance of this thing to the Five Elements Cave Heaven, and he was planning to plant them all in the world of cultivation.
"By the way, I discovered through the Tianyanxi method that the Immortal Peach Tree has seven more characteristics that I cannot detect. Do you know what they are?"
After giving a seed to Yue Yunni, Fang Chen continued to ask questions.
"It is nothing more than increasing cultivation, cleansing the meridians and marrow, tempering the blood, elevating the soul, opening the spiritual wisdom, maintaining eternal youth, and gathering luck. Add in the rooting in the chaos and immortality, and the nine major effects of the Immortal Peach Tree are complete. As for what it will be named in the Tianyanxi Method, I don't know."
Fang Chen thought he would gain nothing, but Zhu Yueyao directly listed seven abilities as if she was naming a dish.
He didn't know that the efficacy of this innate spiritual root was not a secret at all in the fairy world in the past, and any fairy could tell it.
After a moment, Fang Chen calmed himself down and sent the other five seeds of the Fairy Peach Tree into the Five Elements Cave. He first put a vase in, then put the five seeds in the vase, and then poured all the spiritual dew he had collected previously into it.
These seeds are peach kernels with the core removed, and the spiritual energy inside has dissipated, so they are soaked in spiritual dew. On the one hand, they can absorb the innate spiritual energy in the spiritual dew to replace the spiritual energy, and on the other hand, the spiritual dew can also be used to accelerate germination.
Fang Chen then summoned the cave spirit to the side of the flowerpot and asked it to use his superb Red Sun Technique and Herbal Skill to condense the essence of the plants and speed up the germination process.
Since he often deals with various spiritual plants, he is very familiar with these tasks and can do them smoothly.
However, there have never been such high-standard spiritual plant seeds in the past, worthy of him using his most precious resources.
After doing all this, he looked at Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni, who were also protecting the seed that Fang Chen gave them.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the moonlight was still there. He took a deep breath and continued to meditate.
Under the same moonlight, Fang Chen was simultaneously introducing to Tianyu the origin of the six gray seeds. He also briefly explained the communication between him, Zhu Yueyao, and Yue Yunni, as well as the final arrangement of the six seeds.
"Peach Fairy Tree, it would be great if the seeds were full of fairy energy."
After listening to it, Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
"Good things take time. It seems that God doesn't want us to save the cultivation world so easily."
Fang Chen is open-minded. He has not experienced the era of the immortal world, and he has just started practicing. The current world of cultivation is still quite vast for him.
Although he also yearns for the vast and boundless fairy world, his feelings are definitely not as intense as those of Tianyu and others.
"Bullshit, the Heavenly Dao hopes that we can simply resolve the crisis in the cultivation world."
With Fang Chen's comfort, Tianyu felt much better, and he even laughed and teased Fang Chen about the God he mentioned.
Then, he waved his hand again and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late. Let's rest today. We still have to go to the magic market tomorrow."
"Ah."
Fang Chen nodded slightly, watched Tianyu enter the house, and looked up at the sky.
The moon you can see here is no different from the one you can see in Yuehua Fairy City.
If it were in the previous life, this situation would definitely not have happened. Unfortunately, the sun and the moon in the world of cultivation are projections of the Moon Palace. In other words, no matter where you are in the world of cultivation, the alternation of day and night is the same.
"Ah~"
With a sigh, he also went back to his room and began to meditate and practice.
The next day, I followed Tianyu to the stall area to pick up bargains, but unfortunately I didn't have the same good luck as at the beginning.
So the two of them turned to those shops and bought a lot of elixirs and recipes suitable for foundation building and Purple Mansion cultivation. There was even a recipe for Purple Extreme Pill, which was a pill that increased the chance of breaking through Purple Mansion, and the main ingredient was Purple Extreme Flower.
There are many seeds planted in Yuehua Fairy City, all of which are seeds created using the Tianyan Growth Method.
Unfortunately, the elixirs that can help Jindan monks practice only have finished products, but no recipes.
Tianyu does have some recipes for elixirs from his world, which he has uploaded to Lingjian. Unfortunately, there are no corresponding elixirs in this world of cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed and it was time for the Demon Cultivator Conference to be held.
Today is the first update, 4,000 words, and there will be two more updates to come.
