Most of the nearly a thousand Qi refiners from the three sects were still collecting elixirs and herbs. Those who sensed something was wrong and rushed to Nie Tian's position were all heavyweights who did not need to do such trivial matters.
After a while, Hong Xian, Yin Yanan, Chu Xuanji, Chu Bowen, Wei Yu and Xing Beichen, as well as several old monsters at the spiritual level, followed the abnormal flow of the grass and trees' essence to find Nie Tian.
When they arrived, they saw that Qiao Yunxi had also stopped picking spiritual herbs and was standing in front of Nie Tian.
The formation constructed by the Ancient Wood Derivative Formation formed a green light curtain, covering Nie Tian.
When the strands of vegetation spiritual energy flow into the formation, they are so concentrated that they can be inspected with the naked eye.
"A unique formation that actively absorbs the aura of vegetation..."
Chu Xuanji glanced at the clusters of natural tree patterns that were wandering in the green light curtain, and said in surprise: "Those tree patterns... contain magic, as if imprinted with the power of vegetation and the truth of the great truth! This The formation, I’m afraid it’s not trivial!”
While speaking, he released his soul consciousness, trying to penetrate the green light curtain and perceive it carefully.
"Chichi!"
Brilliant green divine light was suddenly released from the light curtain. The divine light blocked the penetration of his soul consciousness, preventing him from sensing Nie Tian's movements within the formation.
More divine lights shined out from different positions of the light curtain one after another.
Hong Xian, Wei Yu, and several other spiritual-level experts frowned. It was obvious that their soul consciousness was blocked just like Chu Xuanji.
Moreover, when they gathered their soul consciousness to sense the ancient wood derivative formation, they seemed to activate the protective power of the formation.
The speed at which the formation attracts the spiritual energy of the surrounding vegetation has increased a lot, and it begins to extract more power from the nearby vegetation and exotic flowers and plants.
"That kid seems to be practicing." Hong Xian whispered.
"Why are you here?" Qiao Yunxi looked unkind, "He is doing well and starting to practice hard in his own realm, and it has not affected you. What are you doing here?"
When she said this, she actually felt guilty.
She was closest to Nie Tian, so she naturally noticed when there were abnormal changes in the energy of the vegetation here.
She knew in her heart that those people came because they sensed abnormal changes.
"Hiss!"
The ice-blood python that came with Yin Yanan saw Nie Tian, who was very close at hand, using the Heavenly Wood Rebirth Technique to temper his flesh and blood, and his pupils gradually turned scarlet again.
Its unique bloodline allowed it to instinctively know that the Nie Tian in front of it... contained strong vitality in his body.
To it, Nie Tian's flesh and blood were like delicacies that constantly emitted fragrance, attracting it and making it want to swallow Nie Tian in one gulp and bite to its heart's content.
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Yin Yanan reached out and gently stroked its python head, constantly using her soul consciousness to comfort it and keep it from messing around.
"Girl Qiao, who is this kid?" Hong Xian was very confused. "A formation that can absorb the essence of plants and trees is actually not uncommon. What is rare is that the formation he made of branches can also isolate our souls. Induction. I even feel that that formation... has stronger protective power."
"I know your Shenhuo Sect very well. The people in your sect are all proficient in the flame arts. I have never heard of anyone who is good at creating grass and tree formations."
"Since he is not from your Shenhuo Sect, and he still possesses such a strange formation, he must have an extraordinary origin, right?"
Qiao Yunxi snorted, "He was brought here by our great elder. I don't know where he came from or what wonderful magic he practiced. The great elder just told me to protect him."
"Senior Yue brought us in..."
Hong Xian was stunned, pondered for a long time, and then nodded and said: "Okay, since it was Senior Yue who brought him in, we will give him a face. Girl Qiao, please restrain him and don't practice randomly!"
"His practice and the formation's pull on the spiritual power of the plants have caused the effectiveness of the spiritual herbs we collected to decrease."
"I have said before that the magical medicines and herbs in this area have nothing to do with your Shenhuo Sect for the time being. It would be too much for him to destroy our harvest through cultivation."
Wei Yu and Chu Xuanji immediately nodded to express their attitudes.
There are a large number of elixirs and herbs around the lake, and one-third of them are high-grade medicinal materials. Several of them are quite rare in the Yuantian Star Territory.
They didn't want the efficacy of the medicinal herbs they collected to be greatly reduced because of an unknown Nie Tian.
"I understand. I will tell him not to mess around again." Qiao Yunxi was forced to accept.
"That's good." Hong Xian's expression softened slightly, "With your words, I will not take action to break the protective barrier of that formation. I will give you a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, I don't want him to continue. Cultivation affects our harvest from this trip.”
"Okay." Qiao Yunxi nodded helplessly.
The three parties who gathered stared at Nie Tian for a while, but because the green light curtain blocked the soul consciousness, they could not discern anything mysterious.
They didn't even know that Nie Tian was using the essence of plants and trees not to practice the magic of plants and trees, but to temper his body.
If they can break through that layer of spiritual energy barrier, their soul consciousness can drive straight in, and then they can get a glimpse of the mystery.
"Remember, you only have a quarter of an hour."
After saying these words, Yin Yanan dragged the ice-blood python and left first, fearing that the ice-blood python would lose control and attack Nie Tian again.
She had a vague feeling that Nie Tian, whose origin was unknown... was not that easy to deal with.
In addition to Nie Tian, there is also Qiao Yunxi. The Beast Control Sect has no reason to have trouble with the Shenhuo Sect over trivial matters.
The rest of the people also left immediately, but they did not retreat too far. They were still directing the sect disciples nearby and continued to collect medicinal herbs.
"Nie Tian! Stop doing this nonsense!" Qiao Yunxi shouted.
However, no matter how she yelled, Nie Tian remained unmoved, as if he couldn't hear her at all, which made her very angry.
A quarter of an hour later.
Just when Qiao Yunxi was about to get angry, Nie Tian suddenly opened his eyes and took the initiative to cancel the ancient wood derivative formation.
"Tough tendons..."
In the third stage of the Ancient Wood Derivative Formation, it is much more difficult to forge a body of muscles and veins than the crystal bones in the first step and the viscera in the second step.
The rich grass and tree essence that he had previously absorbed with the help of the ancient wood derivation array, and the flesh and blood breath that he had integrated into himself, were only the beginning of toughening the muscles.
If you want to temper all the muscles and veins in your body in this unique way, I am afraid it will take a long time.
The moment Hong Xian and others arrived, he was actually awakened and secretly alert.
It was only when he discovered that the soul consciousness released by Hong Xian and others could not penetrate that he felt relieved.
When Hong Xian gave a quarter-hour deadline and stated that he would not bombard the Ancient Wood Derivative Formation, he became even more relieved and took advantage of that quarter-hour to practice again.
"You clearly heard what I said, why didn't you stop?" Qiao Yunxi said angrily.
"Didn't they give a deadline? I stopped at a quarter of an hour and I didn't violate their requirements. What's the problem?" Nie Tian retorted and ignored her.
Through the existence of the ancient tree derived formation and his insights during practice, he knew that only part of the power of the vegetation absorbed by the formation came from those exotic flowers and plants.
More vegetation spiritual power comes from the green vegetation covered with meteorites, as well as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rising from the lake.
Among the auras of heaven and earth, there is originally mixed the power of extraordinary vegetation.
In his opinion, the reason why this place is full of strange flowers and plants is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emanating from the lake contains wisps of power of vegetation.
He secretly decided to wait a little longer for the people from the three sects to collect all the elixirs and herbs they could see, and then continue to use the unique environment here to temper their muscles.
Time flies like water, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Three days later, those three sects will have collected all the elixirs and herbs that can be harvested.
At this time, Nie Tian once again started practicing the Heavenly Wood Rebirth Technique. The three parties ignored him and gathered at the lake, focusing their main energy on exploring the mysterious things in the lake.
Another two days passed, and the Qi Refiners of the three sects did not know how to cast spells, which seemed to cause sudden changes in the lake.
Suddenly, waves of strange fluctuations emerged from the bottom of the lake.
The green emerald-like lake became eye-catching, as if a rare treasure was about to be unearthed.
But almost at the same time, all the Qi Masters, Sea of Soul Consciousness, and True Souls on the meteorite seemed to be attracted by the lake, as if they were about to sink into it.
Nie Tian, who was practicing hard, was also affected, and his expression suddenly changed.
"call out!"
The Wraith Bead hidden in his storage ring, and several powerful remnant souls inside, actually rushed out of the Wraith Bead and flew uncontrollably towards the lake.
