Chapter 179: Divine Wood

This branch should be broken off from an inferior breed of the Fusang Tree. Even so, it has a high value. This was because this type of trees had a Spiritual Intelligence; they understood rudimentary cultivation.

If it was an older Spirit Tree, it might even be stronger than regular cultivators. According to legends, the Fusang Tree had the strength of a Martial Emperor.

This is such a good thing, why is no one buying it? Xiao Chen thought as he was filled with doubts. Was the price too high?

“This is broken off from a thousand-year-old Wutong Tree. I need a Red Nascent Fruit. I will only make a trade and will not sell it. If there are no offers, I will use it myself.”

Wutong Tree, its bark was as green as jade, its leaves were like flowers; it was beautiful, elegant, magnificent, and pure; its Spiritual Energy was like it was made by the heavens. According to legends, when its leaves fell, they turn into s.h.i.+mmering gold leaves. It was said that the Divine Phoenix of the Ancient Era would not perch on a tree unless it was a Wutong Tree.

Although it was not comparable to the Fusang Tree, it was still a famous Spirit Tree. If it really had existed for a thousand years, its value would be considerable as well.

Not only could it be used to refine Medicinal Pills, if one absorbed the Spiritual Energy in it, it could raise their cultivation realm. If it was made into an ornament and worn, it would be soothing for the nerves. It would keep one calm, leading to them achieving more with less effort when cultivating.

When Xiao Chen heard that this person wanted to exchange it for a Red Nascent Fruit, a thought popped up in his head. His expression did not change as he searched through his Universe Ring. After a while, he found what he was looking for in a corner.

Xiao Chen felt joy in his heart. Since he found this on the outskirts of Seven Horn Mountain, he had never used it. He had almost forgotten about it. He had not expected that it would be useful here.

“I can offer you 80 Spirit Stones. Will that do for purchasing this item?” a person came forward and asked eagerly.

80 Spirit Stones to purchase a damaged Wutong Spiritual Wood was a very high price already.

However, that Beichen Peak disciple shook his head and said, “No way, I urgently need the Red Nascent Fruit for my practice. The Red Nascent Fruit on Jade Maiden Peak is not mature yet. So I can only try my luck here. If there are none, then I will be using this Wutong Spiritual Wood for myself.”

Thinking about it, he was a Beichen Peak core disciple, he should not be lacking in Spirit Stones. The remunerations of a core disciple were much higher than a regular inner disciple. Adding in the missions they completed, they should have enough Spirit Stones.

That person felt unresigned but he simply shook his head and left. The surrounding people all slowly dispersed as well. Although a Spirit Herb like the Red Nascent Fruit was not a rare item, it took decades to mature. One had to depend on luck in order to obtain one of them.

Seeing the crowd to slowly disperse, the Beichen Peak core disciple who had set up the stall revealed a look of disappointment. He got up and prepared to pack up the stall and leave.

Xiao Chen hurriedly went over and said, “Hang on, I have a Red Nascent Fruit. I wonder if we can make the trade?”

When the Beichen Peak disciple heard this, he was happy. He said, “If it is a mature Red Nascent Fruit, I am willing to add some Spirit Stones to the deal. If it is not matured, you have to add in some Spirit Stones.”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled. He took out the Red Nascent Fruit from the Universe Ring and handed it over. The red fruit had a strong fragrance, a dense Spiritual Energy that a.s.saulted the nose; its gla.s.s-like surface seemed to have a fiery light underneath it.

“A matured Red Nascent Fruit! It’s really a matured Red Nascent Fruit!” that person had an extremely excited expression, “I am Fang Ning. Thank you for for the Red Nascent Fruit. I will give you another ten Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.”

Fang Ning was incredibly joyful. He had been stuck at peak Martial Grand Master for a long time already. This was because he was unable to make a breakthrough in his fire attribute Cultivation Technique. Now that he obtained the Red Nascent Fruit, he had hopes of advancing to Martial Saint.

Xiao Chen had not expected to be able to obtain ten Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Xiao Chen properly put away the Spirit Stones and the Wutong Spiritual Wood that Fang Ning gave him. He also revealed a joyful expression on his face.

Xiao Chen had been looking for this type of Spiritual Wood. However, he would always end up with nothing definite. This simply proved that Spiritual Wood was the most effective for Life Bestowal Spells; not even the Spiritual Energy filled beast horns could compare to them.

After obtaining the Red Nascent Fruit, Fang Ning immediately packed up the stall and left. He was in a rush to leave the market.

Xiao Chen stopped him and said, “Brother Fang, can you tell me where you found this Wutong Tree?”

Fang Ning stopped and shook his head. He said sincerely, “Brother, it is best you do not know. That place is filled with danger. I went there with my master and the tree already became a spirit. It is very hard to deal with.”

After Fang Ning finished, he left without looking back. Regardless of how Xiao Chen called out to him, he did not stop.

Xiao Chen felt slightly disappointed. He took a look at the sky, it was now a blazing red in the west. The sunset glow dyed the entire sky red; it was already dusk.

It was still early so Xiao Chen decided to continue checking out the shops set up by the Heavenly Saber Pavilion; to see if there were anything good.

About 200 meters behind Xiao Chen, there was a figure looking at him with a sinister gaze. This person was the one who had wanted the Silver-Horned Tiger’s horn earlier.

“Causing me to not be able to complete master’s mission… I am curious to see what kind of background you have. How dare you s.n.a.t.c.h away the thing I want.”

Xiao Chen felt the gaze so he extended out his Spiritual Sense. When he saw the appearance of the person following him, he smiled and continued walking forward, ignoring him.

There were very few people in the official shops. It was a far cry was compared to the bustling free market. Xiao Chen took a quick look but he was not very interested.

The things sold here were all very expensive. They stocked things like herbs, Medicinal Pills, Martial Techniques, or Cultivation Techniques. Others might be interested in them but they held no attraction for Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen had the Battle Sage Origin; he could imitate any Martial Technique under the sun. If it was not some rare Martial Technique, he would not be interested. As far as Medicinal Pills and herbs go, he would only need them when he underwent secluded cultivation but now was not a time.
