The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2746: Thousands of Silver Silk Trees

"Elder Zhou, what are you thinking about?" Ma Sanxing noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Zixing, especially the way his eyes were fixed on the plants, so he asked casually.

Zhou Zixing stared at the plant intently, muttering, "This plant looks so familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember where I saw it. Where was it, or in what book?"

"What? Elder Zhou, have you seen this plant?" Ma Sanxing heard Zhou Zixing's mumbling and immediately asked in surprise: "Can you remember? Where have you seen it?"

"Oh? Elder Zhou, have you seen this kind of plant?" Qian Ying was also curious, so he immediately walked over and asked Zhou Zixing.

The other people also heard Zhou Zixing's voice and immediately moved closer with some curiosity, wanting to hear what this plant was and why there was such a strange plant. Even Chen Mo and others had never seen such a strange plant that could use the filaments it grew to attack humans. There really was everything in the world.

Zhou Zixing was still looking at the plant. He did not answer anyone's questions, but tried hard to recall where he had seen this thing.

Seeing Zhou Zixing trying hard to recall, everyone did not urge him. They also knew that sometimes people would think of something but could not remember it. So, it would be better to give him more time, maybe he would be able to remember it.

"Tell me, have you ever heard of this plant before?" A warrior at the tenth level of the acquired realm whispered to another warrior in his family.

"Haha, how could I have heard of such a strange plant. However, maybe it is recorded in some book. There are so many strange plants in the world, and it is impossible for us to know them all, but books can record them one by one, just like the Shan Hai Jing, which records many strange species." said the warrior who was asked.

Before anyone else could say anything, Zhou Zixing heard the words "books" and "records", which seemed to trigger his memory again. He turned around and asked anxiously, "What did you just say?"

In an instant, the warrior who had just spoken was a little frightened. He muttered unable to speak to himself and said "Ah! Ah!" twice, but didn't say anything.

"Elder Zhou, what have you thought of?" Ma Sanxing laughed and understood the mentality of the warrior being asked, so he continued to ask.

"No, Elder Ma, what book did you just talk about?" Seeing the warrior's embarrassed look, Zhou Zixing could only turn his head and look at Ma Sanxing.

"Oh, he is talking about the Classic of Mountains and Seas!" Ma Sanxing said. The voices of the two warriors just now were not very loud, but they were very close, and the warriors' senses were relatively sensitive, so they could naturally hear what they were saying.

And the two warriors didn't say anything else. After Ma Sanxing heard it and saw Zhou Zixing asking this, he told him directly.

Zhou Zixing nodded and muttered again: "Yes! It's the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it's the Classic of Mountains and Seas!" After that, he looked at the plant in front of him and laughed, then turned to Qian Ying and Ma Sanxing and said: "You two, I remember what this plant is!"

"Oh? Elder Zhou, please tell us what exactly this plant in front of us is." Qian Ying also asked with a smile.

"This plant has a nice name, the Ten Thousand Silver Silk Tree." Zhou Zixing continued, "I got this name in my early years when I was very close to an alchemist. I happened to see it in a book about plants in his study."

"Alchemist?" Many warriors pricked up their ears when they heard about the alchemist. No matter when, the alchemist is always the focus of attention in the martial arts world. After all, if you want to improve quickly, recover quickly from injuries, detoxify, etc., you can't do without an alchemist.

But unfortunately, in the martial arts world, the status of an alchemist is too dependent on talent and inheritance. Therefore, news about alchemists always attracts great attention from everyone who hears about them.

"That was when I went to visit my good friend who is an alchemist. He had something to do so I had to wait for him in his study. I didn't want to wait too long and get bored, so I just flipped through the books in the study. I didn't expect to see a plant related to the one in front of me in a book on vegetation."

"The book describes that there are thousands of silver threads, each of which is like a fine needle, which can attack those who approach from a distance, and also likes to eat flesh and blood. The plant also has a special fragrance, which makes all animals that smell this fragrance enter a fantasy world, and then be attracted to it, and then attack with the silver threads and suck their flesh and blood."

"What, fragrance? Hallucination?" Everyone was immediately shocked and touched the protective masks on their heads, feeling a little relieved. Fortunately, they were all wearing protective masks, otherwise they might have entered the illusion.

"Yes, the fragrance emitted by this plant has a hallucinogenic effect, which is used to attract animals and eventually be ingested by them." Zhou Zixing said. "Elder Zhou, what is the function of this plant called the Ten Thousand Silver Silk Tree?" Qian Ying asked.

Zhou Zixing said with admiration: "Elder Qian, this Wanqian Silver Silk Tree is a very precious plant."

"So precious?" Ma Sanxing asked curiously.

Zhou Zixing laughed and said, "You may not have heard of the Ten Thousand Silver Silk Trees. Even I had a hard time remembering it. However, I will tell you something that you may all know."

"What do we know?" Ma Sanxing asked.

"The essence of plants and trees!" Zhou Zixing said.

"What? Essence of plants?" Everyone was surprised for a moment. All of them, including Chen Mo, had heard of the essence of plants. It was a good thing. It could be used as medicine and taken directly. It could be used as a medicine for cultivation, recovery, recuperation, longevity, and even life-saving. If taken directly, it could directly improve one's strength. The higher the aptitude, the greater the improvement in strength.

Therefore, in the martial arts world, every time a plant spirit appears, it will attract many covetous eyes. In fact, every time a plant spirit appears, there will be a bloody storm.

Because one of the important functions of plant essence is that it can prolong life. As long as the plant essence is more than a thousand years old, it can prolong life by half a hundred years, and the plant essence of more than ten thousand years old can prolong life by more than a hundred years. Moreover, as long as the plant essence is taken, it will prolong life without any side effects, so it is a treasure among treasures.

It can even be said that the other functions of the essence of plants are not important. Just the function of prolonging life is enough to make all those who covet it try every means to obtain it.

"Yes, the essence of plants. The thousands of silver thread trees in front of us contain the essence of plants. Moreover, the older the thousands of silver thread trees are, the more precious the essence of plants contained in them. In particular, the essence of thousand-year-old plants can extend life by half a hundred years, and the essence of ten-thousand-year-old plants can extend life by a hundred years." After Zhou Zixing finished speaking, he looked at the huge plant in front of him and sighed in his heart that the opportunity was right in front of him, but it was not exclusive to him.

He has now cultivated to the peak of the second level of innateness, but it is extremely difficult to break through. Moreover, his time is approaching and his body functions are gradually declining. It is conceivable how difficult it is to break through the second level of innateness and advance to the third level of innateness with such a body. It can even be said that it is absolutely impossible to break through.

He had also looked for many spiritual medicines or elixirs, but his time was coming, so there was no way. However, if he could have a plant essence, as long as it was a thousand years old, he could immediately extend his life by half a hundred years. Then, in this fifty years of extended life, he might be able to find a way to break through the third level of the innate realm, and even enter the stage of holding the elixir.

As long as he advances to the third level of innateness, he will be able to survive. What a great opportunity!

However, he had to tell the origin of this plant and its preciousness. After all, everyone was there, and two of them were innate, and one of them was a master of the third level of innate, so even if he wanted to hide it, it would be impossible.

If we conceal it and don't take out the essence of plants and trees, who knows if there are any more treasures like this. If you want to stay alone, don't be funny. We are not children anymore. How can we not guess that there is something fishy?
Therefore, Zhou Zixing decided to speak it out, maybe he could get some benefits.

After all, judging from the plant in front of him, such a large plant might contain the essence of plants and trees that are ten thousand years old. So even if it is divided equally, he can still get a piece of the essence of plants and trees, and after taking it, he can extend his life for a certain number of years.

"With such a large crown and such a thick trunk, the essence of plants and trees contained in it must be tens of thousands of years old." Zhou Zixing said with certainty.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes sparkled. What the hell was this plant? It was simply a treasure. If they hadn't known that its fragrance had a hallucinogenic effect, they would have taken off their protective masks and cheered loudly.

"Haha! Elder Zhou, since you can see that what is in front of us is a tree of thousands of silver threads, then tell me, how should we extract the essence of plants from it. Also, is the plant in front of us aggressive? In addition, how much essence of plants is contained in this tree of thousands of silver threads?" Qian Ying asked three questions in a row, his face was also extremely eager.

In his heart, he cursed the expedition members who came here earlier. Why didn't they think of taking the essence of plants and trees? Otherwise, would he share the benefits with the people in front of him?

Looking at the warriors around him, as well as Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing, he was also a little depressed. He would need these people later, so he had to give away some of the essence of plants and trees in front of him. Otherwise, people's hearts would be scattered, and then it would be difficult to lead the team.
