"The first innate spiritual root... the Enlightenment Tree..."
The Great Elder was so excited that he stuttered. He had no idea that ten thousand years ago, the Changsheng Sect had an incredible guardian tree called the Enlightenment Tree.
After all, it has been too long, so long that the records of the Enlightenment Tree have long disappeared in the long river of time.
"Ling Xiao, are you saying that this enlightenment tree is inherently deficient?"
Nangong Xuan was quite calm and heard the key point in Ling Xiao's words.
"That's right! This Enlightenment Tree, if my guess is correct, should be the seedling of the Enlightenment Tree that reached Nirvana ten thousand years ago. It's just that my Changsheng Sect is in decline and cannot support this Enlightenment Tree. Even if it absorbs and devours all the vitality within a radius of dozens of miles, it can only survive!"
Ling Xiao sighed softly.
"What should we do? This is the number one spiritual root. If the Enlightenment Tree grows up, it will be enough to protect our Changsheng Sect for thousands of years. This is the foundation for eternity! Holy Son, is there any way to save the Enlightenment Tree?"
The Great Elder suddenly became anxious and asked quickly.
"That's right, Ling Xiao, you should think of a solution. We can't just watch the enlightenment sapling die like this, right?"
Nangong Xuan also became a little anxious.
"There is a way, and it's not difficult! However, for an innate spiritual root like the Enlightenment Tree, only the Heaven-stealing Liquid can revive it!"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"The Heaven-stealing Liquid? Could it be the Heaven-stealing Liquid created by the Supreme Patriarch Swallowing Heaven 10,000 years ago? It can seize the fortune of heaven and earth, reverse yin and yang, life and death, and has unimaginable effects! But the Heaven-stealing Liquid shouldn't be that easy to refine, right? Even if Ling Xiao, you have the method to refine the Heaven-stealing Liquid, I'm afraid that even the Grand Master of Alchemy may not be able to refine it!"
The Great Elder's eyes lit up, and then he became a little worried.
The Great Elder, being an alchemist, was naturally well aware of the reputation of the Heaven-Snatching Liquid, but the Heaven-Snatching Liquid had long been lost. Even though Ling Xiao had inherited the legacy from Patriarch Tuntian and knew the method of refining the Heaven-Snatching Liquid, no one could refine it.
"Don't worry, I'll make the Heaven-stealing Liquid!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed and he said firmly.
"Son of God...you..."
The Great Elder didn't finish his words, but one could tell from his expression that he didn't quite believe it. After all, Ling Xiao's talent lay in his talent in martial arts, not in his talent in alchemy.
"Don't worry, I'm still somewhat confident! These are the materials needed for the Heaven-stealing Liquid, go and prepare them quickly!"
Ling Xiao took out a jade talisman, used his mental power to imprint the various materials needed for the Heaven-stealing Liquid on it, and then handed it to the Great Elder.
"Okay, let's get ready!"
The Great Elder and Nangong Xuan both nodded, turned around and left in a hurry.
After leaving, Nangong Xuan also knew that the Enlightenment Tree was of great importance, so he ordered Liu Chuanxiong, Gu Zhong and Wang Han to lead some disciples to seal off the forbidden area in the back mountain and forbid others from entering or leaving.
"Don't worry, old friend. I will definitely refine the Heaven-stealing Liquid for you!"
Ling Xiao said to himself, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Although the treasure called the Heaven-stealing Liquid is difficult to refine, it was created by Ling Xiao in his previous life. Ling Xiao is naturally very familiar with its refining method. And the most important thing is that although Ling Xiao's mental power is not very strong now, the Wordless Heavenly Book has a peculiar bonus effect on mental power, so Ling Xiao is also confident in refining the Heaven-stealing Liquid.
Although the Heaven-stealing Liquid has the magical effect of seizing the fortune of heaven and earth and can reverse yin and yang and bring the dead back to life, it is also of great benefit to the practice of warriors. It contains a trace of the power of the heavenly realm and can help warriors break through bottlenecks.
The preciousness of the Heaven-stealing Liquid lies in its mysterious refining technique. Although the materials are not very precious, it requires thousands of spiritual medicines and the essence and blood of countless monsters as auxiliary medicines.
At the command from Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder, the entire Changsheng Sect began to mobilize with full force.
By gathering the collections of the Changsheng Sect, the Hehuan Sect, and the Tianmo Palace, most of the elixirs needed for the Duotian Liquid were found. Nangong Xuan also sent people to Changsheng City at full speed to purchase some of them.
The other elders, with many disciples, went to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range to kill various ferocious beasts and collect their essence and blood.
In the forbidden area at the back mountain, Ling Xiao was not idle either.
He took one million top-grade spirit stones from Nangong Xuan, which was almost 90% of the Changsheng Sect's inventory, making Nangong Xuan so distressed that he almost jumped up.
Around the enlightenment sapling, Ling Xiao had dug a large pit with a radius of one hundred feet, and placed one million top-grade spirit stones in the pit.
The top-grade spirit stones are only the size of longan, but they contain extremely pure spiritual energy. One million top-grade spirit stones piled together can even turn into a dazzling spiritual mist.
Ling Xiao used millions of top-grade spirit stones to set up a large formation, gathering pure spiritual energy and the power of the dragon veins of the earth to replenish the spiritual power of the Enlightenment Tree.
Boom!
As the formation was completed, a brilliant light enveloped the entire back mountain. Thousands of auspicious auras, countless rays of light, and endless power of essence, as if flowing into the sea, rushed madly towards the Enlightenment Tree in the center.
The enlightenment tree sapling is lush and green, and its three leaves are becoming more and more brilliant, exuding a mysterious aura.
This astonishing scene made Nangong Xuan and the Great Elder stare in amazement.
“Master, don’t feel bad. These one million top-grade spirit stones are only enough for the Enlightenment Tree to absorb for one day. After one day, these top-grade spirit stones will turn into ashes!”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
"What?! Only enough for the Enlightenment Tree to absorb in one day? What a loss! One million top-grade spirit stones are enough for my Changsheng Sect to train hundreds of great masters, but now all of them are going to be thrown at the Enlightenment Tree!"
Nangong Xuan said with a look of pain on his face.
“Sect Master, this is the number one innate spiritual root, not a cabbage. You should know that the growing Enlightenment Tree will simply disdain these spiritual stones. It may not even absorb spiritual crystals! When the Enlightenment Tree grows up, you will know that, let alone one million top-grade spiritual stones, even ten billion top-grade spiritual stones are not as good as a leaf of the Enlightenment Tree!”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"I hope this enlightenment tree is really as magical as you said!"
Nangong Xuan felt a little better and simply turned his head away, not looking at the top-grade spirit stones that had turned to ashes.
One day passed, and with the entire Changsheng Sect mobilized, all the materials needed for the Duotian Liquid were collected.
A total of one thousand and twenty-four kinds of spiritual medicines were stored in jade boxes and sent to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
The essence and blood of three hundred and sixty kinds of ferocious beasts were also stored in jade bottles and sent in intact.
Only Nangong Xuan, the Great Elder, Nangong Qing, and Liu Piaopiao can enter the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Liu Chuanxiong and his two companions, together with Jian Wuque, Zuo Zhen, Deng Yalin, and several elders, guarded outside the valley and did not allow anyone to enter and disturb them.
Because Ling Xiao wants to refine the legendary Heaven-stealing Liquid!
