C75 Nightmare Aroma (1/2)
In the end, Su Lao still restrained the killing intent in his body, and Qin Shaojie also let out a long sigh of relief.
Even though the vitality of the Su Lao was constantly feeding back to the Sunburn Tree, the strength of his Earth Origin Stage was still displayed right here. If he truly had the intention to kill, regardless of what methods Qin Shaojie used, it would be completely useless.
”You should know that even if I agree to be your mentor, it won't do you any good.”
Just as Su Baichen had guessed at the start, the reason why Qin Shaojie came over was to become his own student, but unfortunately, it was not suitable in Su Baichen's eyes.
Right now, he was stuck on this island and it was impossible for him to leave. Since Qin Shaojie only had three Tattooed Soul, becoming a Earth Origin Stage was almost impossible, much less becoming one, so there was no meaning for him to keep him.
The most important reason why he had always been recruiting students but had never found anyone suitable was because he hoped that someone would inherit his legacy and protect the Sunburn Tree of this isolated island, Sacred Heart Lake. However, that person must have a good personality. Only those with high talent would have the chance and the possibility.
If Su Lao is willing to give a few pointers, I will naturally be extremely grateful. If Su Lao is not willing, then this brat can stay and chat with Su Lao from time to time. After all, if Su Lao does not agree, I am afraid that Holy Flame Academy will not be able to keep him here. ”
Qin Shaojie's words were also somewhat bitter.
He had absolute confidence in himself, but he also knew that he needed more time. However, the three Tattooed Soul did not even have the qualifications to become other instructors, otherwise Qin Shaojie would not be so conflicted.
It was even more unrealistic to leave the Holy Flame Academy, as he had not grown to the point where he could venture out alone. Furthermore, as long as they leave Holy Flame Academy, they would be in danger. Although Qin Shaojie was not afraid, this feeling of being crazily hunted was not good.
”Although the brat can't completely settle the matter of the Sunburn Tree, there is still a way to turn the situation around.”
Seeing that Su Baichen still had no reaction, Qin Shaojie finally sighed and said.
And his words caused Su Baichen's body to freeze once again. His pupils dilated as he stared straight at Qin Shaojie. Although he did not say anything, he could feel the enormous change in Su Baichen's current emotions from the depths of his eyes.
He merely protected the Sunburn Tree without any complaints, and did not even hesitate to use his own life as the price. A hundred years of loneliness had endured, causing his heart to feel extremely calm, but he did not expect that Qin Shaojie's appearance today would cause his heart to become a mess.
If this was another person speaking to him, perhaps he would have snorted disdainfully, but what Qin Shaojie said was different. After their previous exchange, Su Baichen clearly understood in his heart that this youth was definitely not simple, and what he knew was not any less than what he himself knew. Only those who truly understood the inside story were qualified to say such words.
”The best way to solve this problem is to heal the Sunburn Tree and restore its vitality.”
With a slight frown, Qin Shaojie slowly spoke out. This Sunburn Tree was a heavenly treasure, and the moment it grew in size, even if Su Baichen was able to channel life force into it, it would only be a treatment that he could not treat. It would take more than a few hundred years, but he would still not be able to stop it.
However, nothing in this world was absolute. Even someone like Qin Shaojie, who had no veins, could refine and produce a profound veins. Then, it was not impossible for a Sunburn Tree to be reborn from the flames.
As long as the profound veins did not dry out, then the profound energy contained within would continuously be absorbed by the Sunburn Tree. In order to recover its vitality, on the one hand, he had guaranteed that the profound energy within the profound veins would be sufficient. On this point, Qin Shaojie had been certain since the moment he had entered the Holy Flame Academy that the profound veins below him still had plenty of profound energy of heaven and earth.
The other point was to find the Nightmare Aroma!
The Nightmare Aroma was an extremely precious medicinal herb from the ancient times, but this medicinal herb was a living thing. It was said that the Nightmare Aroma had a strange ability that allowed them to share their lifeline with their host. Those Rankers who were approaching the end of their lifespan, under extremely helpless circumstances, would look for the Nightmare Aroma to increase their lifespan.
Therefore, as long as they could find the Nightmare Aroma, this Sunburn Tree would have a way to continue living. At the very least, there would be no problems for a very long period of time in the future. After all, once a tree was reborn, its life force would be extremely tenacious. Perhaps, by relying on its self-healing ability, it might be able to create a second spring.
”The ancient Nightmare Aroma is such a precious treasure, but unfortunately, it has already become extinct. Otherwise, no matter how big of a price I have to pay, my Holy Flame Academy will still take it.”
Su Baichen was naturally familiar with the Nightmare Aroma, but hearing Qin Shaojie's words, he shook his head, that thing was already extinct, and even if it was, it was probably the treasure of a large ancient sect, it was almost impossible to take it out.
Before this world, there was nothing more important than a true expert's life force.
Although sharing one's lifeline with the Nightmare Aroma was considered a passive and dangerous thing, there was still a need for a patriarch to walk this path as a last resort.
It had to be said that Qin Shaojie's suggestion made Su Baichen feel somewhat disappointed as well. But thinking about it, it would also make it difficult for Qin Shaojie. After all, this might be the only method to overcome this obstacle.
”If it was any other time, it might not be possible to get the Nightmare Aroma, but this time is different.”
With Yao Yao's head, Qin Shaojie was not worried.
