chapter 535: chapter 527: acquiring the chance for immortality

although the ancient banyan tree is also ancient, this elm money tree is even older than elixir city. it was said to exist when the city was first built.

the first sect master of the longevity sect often sat beneath it to meditate and understand the dao.

this elm money tree was as sacred as the bodhi tree that helped bodhidharma in his enlightenment.

qin niu walked to the base of the tree, looked up at the trunk, and followed the cracks that spread upward. even after living for more than ten thousand years, the elm money tree was still full of life and lush with foliage.

its branches were laden with hanging inflorescences, each cluster resembling a string of copper coins.

the energy contained within the tree was as vast as mountains and seas, unfathomable.

qin niu closed his eyes and carefully felt the energies inside the elm money tree; he discovered that there seemed to be a very unique and high-level energy hidden within the trunk. without thinking, he extended both hands and pressed them against it.

the tree’s trunk was extremely large, and even thirty grown men, holding hands, might not be able to encompass it.

standing beside the trunk, qin niu looked like a thumb-sized person.

with his hands pressed against the elm money tree, he first tried channeling a thread of medicine king sutra cultivation power to probe that unique energy inside the tree.

but he quickly realized this was futile.

because that special energy was hidden in the deepest depths of all energies. the energy of the elm money tree was as abundant as ocean waters, and qin niu’s medicine king sutra power was soon dispersed by it.

there was no way to reach the deepest part.

seeing that probing in this way was useless, he switched to another type of cultivation power.

this was the advantage of cultivating two types of cultivation techniques.

one had an extra method at crucial moments. moreover, a double spirit qi realm expert like him was much stronger than those who cultivated just one cultivation technique. even though the techniques he cultivated were non-combat types, he could still crush peers at the same level who practiced combat techniques.

the everlasting spring technique power from within qin niu spread out like tentacles, reaching for that special energy at the very core of the elm money tree.

this time, he found the everlasting spring technique power very stable, and it was not dispersed by the intense energy within the tree.

a moment later, his everlasting spring technique power successfully reached the deepest part of the tree’s energy sea.

the moment he touched that special energy, he felt indescribably comfortable. the bit of everlasting spring technique power he had released acted like a conduit, continuously channeling the tree’s special energy back into his body.

in the beginning, qin niu was cautious, not daring to let that special energy enter his body readily.

but when he found that this energy could rapidly enhance his everlasting spring technique power, he became like a greedy infant, eagerly absorbing the special energy from deep within the tree.

and his everlasting spring technique power grew rapidly.

wang wanyan and xiao qing, seeing qin niu standing motionless with his hands pressed against the tree, instinctively guarded behind him.

“is he comprehending the dao?”

“he couldn’t possibly be harming the elm money immortal tree, could he?”

“he wouldn’t dare. even the disciples from the hundred-tempering immortal sect wouldn’t be spared if they caused trouble here; they would be killed.”

many people took notice of qin niu’s odd behavior.

they were discussing among themselves.

meanwhile, chi xing had already stored the carriage and came back. seeing this scene, he was truly envious.

just a few days ago, he had seen with his own eyes how qin niu absorbed the energy of the cold spring, causing his cultivation to surge.

now, having come to elixir city, it seemed that qin niu had found another great opportunity.

feeling the continuous strengthening of qin niu’s aura, chi xing silently speculated that qin niu might be using the elm money tree for cultivation. he silently folded his arms and stood beside qin niu.

as time swiftly passed, qin niu’s everlasting spring technique power had broken through from the early stages of the spirit qi realm to the middle stage.
