He wasn’t content with not finding an appropriate place to practice meditation and cultivate his sword.
He decided to walk further inside.
After walking about two li, he found an Ancient Banyan Tree with a trunk diameter of over two meters.
Long-lived trees that are relatively common include apricot trees, banyan trees, parasol trees, and cypresses.
The ancient camphor trees are more commonly seen in human habitats, but in deep forests, they can’t compete with other trees and are therefore rare. Moreover, because camphor trees grow quickly and their wood is brittle, they are prone to breaking large branches during heavy snow and strong winds.
Once there’s a wound, it easily invites insects and ants.
Insect damage can be fatal for many trees.
This Ancient Banyan Tree, with its trunks woven together like ropes, stood towering into the clouds. Its branches and leaves spread out in all directions, like a magnificent umbrella, covering an area several hundred meters in radius.
The vegetation under the canopy was pressed down and appeared dull and dim. No other larger trees were visible at all.
Qin Niu’s heart pounded at first sight of it.
Choosing it as a practice stronghold in the deep mountains, its sheer size alone could shield him from many attacks by snakes, insects, ants, and beasts.
Not to mention, the mosquito bites alone in the deep mountains could be enough to make one’s life miserable.
He was very fond of this Ancient Banyan Tree.
As he approached, that pounding feeling in his heart grew even stronger.
It was a very peculiar and unusual sensation.
In the vast mountains, only this tree had given him such a stirring feeling.
Choosing a flat branch high up on the tree to construct a high-altitude platform for meditation seemed like it would provide a wonderful experience.
He might even breathe in unison with the trees of the entire mountain.
He took off his basket and quickly climbed up like an agile monkey.
At a height of about eight or nine meters above the ground, he chose a flat spot where the branches split. This height was just right, providing a good vantage point to observe every move within several hundred meters.
He also didn’t have to worry about falling off if the tree swayed too much in the wind while he meditated.
After a short rest, he took out his Treasured Sword to chop off the most central main branch.
He had to remove the thickest branch to create a spacious platform for meditation.
With auxiliary branches surrounding it, it would be very safe for him to meditate inside.
Bang!
He chopped down with one blow, immediately achieving an Explosive Slash Effect.
Using this Treasured Sword, custom-made for him, was truly a pleasure. The performance of his Slash Martial Skill was notably more stable, and its power had greatly increased.
The chance of an Explosive Slash occurring had even doubled.
“Eh, why is the tree bleeding?”
Qin Niu looked at the wounded spot in astonishment.
A pale green liquid was seeping out.
