Chapter 222: Chapter 221: Planting Golden Wood

```Half an hour later, Tang San, having regained his energy, reopened his eyes.

He stood up, approached the Red Fox girls, and asked them, "Have you learned meditation before?"

Red One, ostensibly the eldest among the eighteen girls, nodded slightly and said, "We have learned it before. Our tribe taught us because we all awakened our bloodline. They said that if our meditation could enhance our bloodline state, we would have the potential to become vassals. But later, because our bloodline was too diluted, we... "She couldn't help but tear up.

Tang San nodded and continued, "It's good that you have learned it. From today onwards, except for eating and sleeping, try to meditate within three meters around the perimeter of the circle I've drawn. This is the first task I am assigning to you, but remember, you can't enter inside the circle, nor can you disturb anything within it. Do you understand?"

The Red Fox girls nodded one after another to show their understanding. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zhang Haoxuan turned his head to Tang San, his brow furrowing slightly, and said, "If you set up this magic array here, what happens if Demon Beasts come? They can't fend off the destruction of the Demon Beasts."

Tang San smiled slightly and replied, "The Demon Beasts won't come. This magic array has a natural repellent effect on them." Golden Wood is a branch of the Golden Tree and represents a very powerful life attribute in the plant kingdom. It naturally repels wild beasts, and Tang San, through the magic array, amplified this effect even further. Thus, it essentially won't attract wild animals at all.

Zhang Haoxuan asked, "What is the purpose of this magic array?"

Tang San answered, "To plant trees. I think it should be able to take root and sprout within a month at most."

Zhang Haoxuan was taken aback, "You are going to plant this Golden Wood?"

Tang San nodded.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Isn't this thing of little use?"

Tang San said with a smile, "That's because the Monsters don't understand its true value. I believe that among the Spirit Monsters, some understand a bit about it, but only superficially. The greatest strength of the Golden Wood itself is in gathering life force. As it grows, it will absorb a great deal of Origin Energy and then transform it into Life Force. These girls will receive feedback of life force to a certain degree as they practice around it, which will benefit the awakening of their bloodlines."

Zhang Haoxuan's eyes lit up, "What about us? Can we too?"

Tang San nodded and said, "Not now, because it has not yet grown. But if it grows into a towering tree, the life force it contains will be able to nourish even stronger life forms, and that will be beneficial to us as well."

Zhang Haoxuan took a deep breath and asked, "So the purpose of this magic array is to accelerate its growth?"

"Yes, the Spirit Gathering Array can condense the spirituality of heaven and earth. If these pieces of Golden Wood were simply stuck in the ground, they would also grow, but they might need hundreds or even thousands of years to slowly develop. The Spirit Gathering Array, with them as the core, drastically accelerates the absorption of Origin Energy from the cosmos, greatly promoting their growth, allowing them to take root and sprout quickly, and to absorb more of the spirituality of heaven and earth. Its growth rate will also continue to increase along with its own growth process, creating a positive feedback loop."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Then, in theory, would this type of formation work on all valuable resources?"

Tang San responded, "Yes, it's just that most valuable resources are too conspicuous during their growth, which can attract unnecessary trouble. Unless they are guarded by exceedingly powerful beings."

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "I see. Can this formation be sold to the organization?"

"Sold?" Tang San was momentarily taken aback.

```

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I can't just take from you without giving something in return, you can make a request. Moreover, having value will make it easier to justify to the organization. I will cover for you." He had never reported Tang San's true situation, and many reasons for that were to allow Tang San to grow better. Yet, the growth rate of his disciple always exceeded his expectations.

Tang San nodded and said, "Alright, I'll adjust it and draw it for you later, and then I'll teach you how to inscribe this magic array."

Seeing him agree so readily, a smile appeared on Zhang Haoxuan's face, and he patted him on the shoulder, "I seem to be seeing more and more of the future."

"There will definitely be a future," Tang San replied with a smile.

The Red Fox girls were naturally obedient and practiced around the perimeter of the Spirit Gathering Array as Tang San instructed. The Golden Wood had just started to absorb aura and there wasn't much life force feedback yet, but the spirituality of heaven and earth gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array also passed through them. This aura would increase with the growth of the Golden Wood, and although the initial rate of growth was the slowest, it was the most suitable for the Red Fox girls, who only had bloodline states from First to Second Stage, to absorb and stabilize their bloodline power.

After observing their meditation for a while, Tang San saw that the girls had simple minds and entering a meditative state was not difficult for them. But Zhang Haoxuan still decided to stay here and watch over them for a time, wishing to observe the effects of the Spirit Gathering Array up close. He let Tang San go back first, to go back and draw out the Formation.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Haoxuan, Tang San returned to Redemption Academy on his own to draw the Formation diagram. It was quite simple. By evening, he had already completed the inscription of the Formation diagram. However, he wouldn't go over today; Zhang Haoxuan had told him it would be fine to come within three days. He planned to continue his cultivation at the Jiali Academy in the evening. His Spiritual Power was gradually moving towards perfection just below God Rank, and since he had to wait for his companions, his bloodline power could not be raised in the meantime, so he decided to continue polishing his Spiritual Power and nurturing his divine consciousness.

Just as he stepped out the door, ready to leave Redemption Academy, he bumped into Wu Bingji.

Seeing Tang San, Wu Bingji was taken aback for a moment. Then he blocked his path.

"Senior Brother," Tang San greeted him with a smile.

"It's really hard to get a chance to see you! The teachers have almost forgotten about you as their student. Why aren't you even attending classes now?" Wu Bingji asked, clearly irritated.

Scratching his head, Tang San said, "Teacher Guan has been teaching me individually recently, and I have to work at the Jiali Academy during the day, so I spend less time at our academy."

Wu Bingji said, "Thank you for your Purple Sun Fruit, Elder Zheng told us all about it. The effect of the Purple Sun Fruit is superb, my Spiritual Power has noticeably improved and has begun to liquefy."

Tang San smiled and said, "That was a collective gain, not mine alone. How is your cultivation going lately, Senior Brother?"

At the mention of cultivation, Wu Bingji's eyes lit up and he said, "Very good. With the increase in Spiritual Power, controlling the ice element has gotten much easier. I can now form ice needles almost instantly, and I'm nearly there with the Two-stage Acceleration. Do you have any new techniques to teach me?"

Tang San chuckled inwardly; he knew this was the real reason Wu Bingji had stopped him. After all, Zhang Haoxuan had long notified everyone about the matter of him missing classes.

Tang San said, "Now that you've mastered the ice needle and two-stage acceleration, you can start practicing some more complex techniques."

"There's something even more complex?" This time, Wu Bingji's eyes shone brightly.

Ever since he began learning how to control the ice element from Tang San, he distinctly felt that his strength was growing leaps and bounds, not just in terms of surface-level cultivation, but also in his comprehension and usage of the ice element. Now, when fighting with his teacher, Teacher Guan, using the Two-stage Acceleration, he wasn't at a disadvantage.

Tang San nodded and said, "I'll teach you the most complex technique, which is based on the ice needle. The second foundation is the two-stage acceleration, and it also integrates the Ice Blast. If you master this, you'll basically be invincible at your level."

"Teach me quickly," Wu Bingji almost blurted out, but after saying that, he felt a bit embarrassed.
