Chapter 401: Chapter 217: Mysterious Attacker, Innate Treasure Fusang Immortal Tree Branch! (5k)
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him, lost in thought.
"The Spirit Vein Dragon truly is a rare wonder of the world... If exposed, it could bring deadly misfortune!"
After a pause, Su Xing murmured,
"After obtaining the Spirit Vein Dragon, placing it in the Paradise Cave should avoid any immediate trouble..."
"Otherwise, if the Dragon Protector learns of it, I won't be able to avoid another chase."
"Moreover, my whereabouts in the simulator are likely compromised. The Dragon Protector will definitely follow the battle traces to find my identity!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
The battle with Master Wanmu left unavoidable traces, and with their skirmishes spanning a thousand miles, there were too many marks left behind for Su Xing to conceal.
"It seems... if I want to get the Spirit Vein Dragon in reality, it's safer to deal with Master Wanmu in the ruins to minimize the traces left behind..."
Su Xing thought so.
And to achieve this, Su Xing would likely need to break through to the Fusion Stage to suppress Master Wanmu absolutely.
He looked towards the simulation panel.
[In the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, you looked at the drunk Spirit Vein Dragon, knowing it would be safest for the young dragon to stay within the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields.]
[The dragon slept for several months after getting drunk, yet it still didn't awaken.]
[You were puzzled by why this dragon slept so much.]
[What surprised you most was that, with the dragon in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, even when it did nothing, the spiritual energy in the cave steadily increased.]
[In just a few months, the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields began to produce some Mid Grade Spirit Liquid.]
[According to your calculations, if the young Spirit Dragon remained in the cave doing nothing, in less than ten years, the cave would ascend from a medium-grade cave to a superior one.]
"Especially that piece of wood, what is its origin that it contains Dao essence?"
"And the Heart Method of Wanmu... the path for cultivation after the Fusion Stage is clear!"
Su Xing's face showed joy as he looked towards the simulation panel.
[You stayed in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields daily, observing the changes in the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Soon, you noticed that during its sleep, the Spirit Vein Dragon seemed to show painful expressions from time to time.]
[Occasionally, the Spirit Vein Dragon would exhale black gas, which, when it contaminated the spirit fields, would cause the spirit plants to wither and reduce the purity of the surrounding spiritual energy.]
[You felt a tightness in your chest and carefully used your divine sense to investigate the condition of the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Eventually, you discovered that the black gas was the reason for the dragon's condition.]
[You guessed the black gas originated from the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect, created by the immense resentment the Spirit Vein Dragon accumulated while trapped in the formation for countless years...]
[However, this was unlike ordinary resentment, seemingly born from the spirit of heaven and earth, unwilling to see the Spirit Vein Dragon suffer back then.]
[Unable to resolve this black gas, you created a small area for the Spirit Vein Dragon to sleep alone, setting up several formations to isolate it from the surrounding area.]
[You tried to prevent the black gas from contaminating the nearby spirit plants and spiritual energy as much as possible.]
[Several months passed as the Spirit Vein Dragon continued to sleep.]
[In the twenty-second year, the Spirit Vein Dragon finally awoke from its slumber. You noticed that the black gas on its body seemed to have lessened but still caused the dragon occasional pain.]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon opened its eyes and looked around. The abundant spiritual energy in the air delighted it greatly.]
[Like a playful fish, the Spirit Dragon eagerly jumped around the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, destroying many spirit plants.]
[You were rather helpless about this and could only repeatedly persuade the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Having been trapped in the small formation for hundreds or even thousands of years, the Spirit Vein Dragon was naturally curious and lively, remaining defiant and ignoring you.]
