Chapter 634 (2/2)
Soon, he found that the sapling underwent some minute changes. It started br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality, signifying that it had adapted to its new living environment.
Xiang Shaoyun smiled with joy as he muttered, ”The nine-colored fog is indeed a power filled with life and destruction. The fact that the gold tree sapling can grow in an environment with only the nine-colored fog is proof of that.”
He then moved the sapling beside the pool of gold lunar liquid. There were two more vicious tiger gold lotuses there. These vicious tiger gold lotuses were not the same as the gold lotus Xiang Shaoyun had given Edoli. They were much more valuable.
Initially, he only had one vicious tiger gold lotus planted in his astral cosmos sea. But with the inclusion of the nine-colored fog, an additional lotus sprouted. It seemed to be growing nicely, and in a few years, it would mature.
Planted beside the gold lunar liquid pool, the sapling brimmed with even more vitality as it quickly extended its roots to the pool and started absorbing the energy contained within the pool.
The sapling then started growing at a visible pace, and the gold lunar liquid in the pool started reducing at a slow speed. The sight stunned Xiang Shaoyun. He had not expected the sapling to be so smart that it could quickly find what it needed, or even devour it at such a speed. If he allowed the tree to continue, it was only a matter of time before he ran out of gold lunar liquid.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was considering moving the sapling away, he found that the amount of gold lunar liquid stopped reducing. As for the sapling, it looked like a completely different tree. It seemed to be full and no longer needed any gold lunar liquid for now.
”Looks like I need to think of a way to increase the supply of gold lunar liquid in the future, or I won't be able to feed this young master,” said Xiang Shaoyun helplessly.
He then ignored the sapling. After all, upon maturity, the tree would provide him with a steady supply of fruits comparable to the gold lunar liquid in value.
Finally, he focused on the broken stele. Once again, he scrutinized the words on it.
He memorized everything on the stele before comparing them with the mantra he had learned from the gravekeeper elder. He found that there were some differences between the two. The version he had learned from the gravekeeper elder seemed incomplete, while the version on the stele seemed more detailed. As for the missing parts on the stele, he could fill them in with the gravekeeper elder's version.
Ultimately, he managed to restore 90 percent of the contents on the stele. At the same time, he also noticed that at the very top of the stele, the word ”Desolate” was carved. He did not know if it was someone's name or if it was the name of the mantra. But for now, he decided to tentatively name the mantra ”Desolation”.
Unfortunately, even the stele's inscription was incomplete. The subsequent parts of the mantra were missing. Perhaps he could only get the complete version if he could find the missing parts of the stele. After memorizing the new Desolation mantra once again, he left the residence.
He did not leave the Vicious Steel Mist. Instead, he went to the top of a certain mountain. The peak was filled with a thick vicious steel mist and was a perfect location for cultivating. The mist there was filled with sharp energy that could instantly leave wounds all over the body of a regular person who dared to approach.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, he completely ignored the energy and sat down cross-legged, starting his session of comprehending the profundity of gold. At the same time, he chanted the Desolation mantra, sensing the power of gold in accordance to the mantra, and slowly blended into the mist.
