Chapter 701 (1/2)

Chapter 701: Chapter 306: Trading the Undying Longevity Grass Chapter 701: Chapter 306: Trading the Undying Longevity Grass Baba Mulang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately still told Lin Jing.

“In our Wood Realm, there originally was a rank seven rare Spirit Grass, the Undying Longevity Grass.”

“Undying Longevity Grass!” Upon hearing about the Undying Longevity Grass, Lin Jing immediately became spirited.

The Undying Longevity Grass was the main ingredient for concocting the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir.

Coupled with the Eternal Life Vine, the elixir brewed could significantly increase a cultivator’s lifespan.

Although the lifespan increased wasn’t as exaggerated as a myriad of years, the lifespan a Supreme Grade Longevity Life-Extension Elixir could add was still as much as a thousand years.

A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s lifespan was only about a thousand years, which illustrates just how powerful the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir was.

This thousand years of lifespan, when given to those top cultivators, was enough for them to accomplish many things.

Lin Jing then spoke to Baba Mulang,

“Having the Undying Longevity Grass should be a good thing, right?

So why does your clan chief seem not very happy about it?”

Baba Mulang sighed and continued,

“Sigh…”

“That Undying Longevity Grass should have been the most precious Spirit Plant in our Wood Realm, but unfortunately, the place where it grew wasn’t so favorable.

It grew too close to a Demonic Tree which often went berserk, and as you can imagine…”

“The Undying Longevity Grass was growing well but unfortunately, the Demonic Tree suddenly went mad and extended past its boundary, swallowing it whole.”

“In the end, it was the clan chief who personally took action and managed to wrestle the roots of the Undying Longevity Grass away from the Demonic Tree.”

“However, the roots of the Undying Longevity Grass that were retrieved, even after being replanted by the clan chief, remained in a state neither dead nor alive, failing to grow normally.”

“That is also why the clan chief harbors such a great resentment.”

“No wonder, so that was the issue.” Lin Jing suddenly understood.

Then, Lin Jing asked Baba Mulang again,

“Do your Wood Spirits need rare Spirit Plants too?”

Baba Mulang communicated via telepathy,

“Of course.”

“We not only need rare Spirit Plants, but we also cultivate some ourselves.”

“Just like human cultivators can obtain Spiritual Power from Spirit Stones for cultivation, we can also draw the Wood Element’s Spiritual Power from Spirit Plants to help us grow.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing promptly spoke,

“Doesn’t that mean your cultivation is similar to ours?

Both are about increasing your own Spiritual Power to become stronger.”

“Hmm.”

Baba Mulang nodded, “The clan chief once said this is also considered our way of cultivation.”

“Since your cultivation method is similar to human cultivators, does that mean the spells you used before are similar as well?” Lin Jing then asked another question.

Baba Mulang replied,

“Actually, there is some difference with the cultivation of spells.”

“The spells I use partly stem from innate inheritance, while the rest are taught by the clan chief.”

Lin Jing listened, frowning in thought for a while.

After pondering, Lin Jing said to Baba Mulang,

“Baba Mulang!”

“How about you contact your clan chief for me?

I want to propose a trade with him.”

“A trade?”

Baba Mulang looked up, puzzled as he gazed at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“If this deal goes through, your Wood Spirit clan might become stronger once again.”

“Really?” Baba Mulang looked at Lin Jing with a mix of astonishment and doubt in his eyes.

Lin Jing then continued,

“As for the specifics, I am not yet clear.”

“It’s a matter that only your clan chief, once he arrives, can discuss with me clearly.

You just need to tell those two clansmen following you that I have something to discuss with your clan chief.”

Although Baba Mulang did not understand why, after hesitating for a moment, he turned and began to communicate with the two Wood Spirits following behind him.

Lin Jing did not understand the language of the Wood Spirit clan.

But he was able to guess what their conversation entailed from their gestures and expressions.

After Baba Mulang spoke with the two clansmen behind him, from the reaction of the two Wood Spirits,

they seemed to be confused and even had a distrust towards Lin Jing.

It wasn’t until after a good while of back-and-forth that the other side finally relented.

Then, one of the Wood Spirits stayed to keep an eye on Lin Jing, while the other quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Clearly,

he was off to notify the Wood Spirit clan chief.

……

The Wood Spirit clan’s efficiency was indeed commendable.

In less than six hours, the Wood Spirit clan chief appeared before Lin Jing.

“You have something to ask me?”

The Wood Spirit clan chief looked at Lin Jing with impatience in his eyes.

Lin Jing paid no mind to it and directly inquired of the Wood Spirit clan chief,

“I would like to ask, can your Wood Spirit clan cultivate human cultivation techniques?”

Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit clan chief’s brows furrowed slightly, before he said outright,

“Our Wood Spirit clan is quite different from humans, so naturally, we cannot cultivate human cultivation techniques.”

“And another thing…”

“Did you come to find me just for this matter?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing sighed helplessly and said,

“Sigh…

I had previously obtained a wood element cultivation technique that could help Spirit Plants grow, and I was hoping your Wood Spirit clan could cultivate it.”

“Now it seems, you can’t cultivate it either, what a shame.”

But before Lin Jing could finish his sentence,

the Wood Spirit clan chief’s eyes widened.
