Devour: Start with the innate holy body and Taoist fetus

Chapter 37: The Spirits of Plants and Trees, All Used

Before coming here, Jiang Chen had made up for a lot of lessons about the spirits of plants. He knew the names, characteristics, and effects of various plant spirits clearly.

The most precious thing about this thousand-year-old redbud vine is a palm-sized tuber one meter below its rhizome, also known as redbud jade.

It can enhance the spiritual power of the spiritualist and also has a certain amplifying effect on the physical body.

Jiang Chen grasped the bare rhizome of the Bauhinia vine and pulled it hard. The soil was immediately overturned and the tangled rhizome was pulled out several meters.

One meter below the rhizome, there is a fist-sized, purple tuber that looks round and smooth, just like a piece of purple jade.

Picking up a throwing knife, he cut the piece of Bauhinia jade from the rhizome and threw it into the backpack behind him. Then Jiang Chen continued to move forward into the foggy island.

For the next period of time, Jiang Chen continued to collect the spirits of plants and trees on the Misty Island.

Among these plant spirits, the weaker ones are roughly equivalent to mid-level war gods.

The most powerful ones are close to the first planetary level.

Just when Jiang Chen collected hundreds of plant spirits, he attracted the attention of the Moyun vine on the Kirishima Island.

The black and purple vines stretched for a thousand meters, with no end in sight. The extremely terrifying power made the entire island tremble.

Outside the island, the lord-level monsters lurking in the lakes scattered away in fear.

The six long vines stretched out at an extremely fast speed, covering the sky and the sun, enveloping and wrapping around Jiang Chen, leaving him no chance to escape.

The strength of this Moyun vine is dozens of times stronger than the thousand-year-old Bauhinia vine that Jiang Chen faced when he first entered the island.

Even a planetary-level third or fourth-level warrior is no match for this Moyun vine.

Only Hong, the strongest man in the world today, and Lei Shen, the second strongest man, can deal with this Moyun vine.

If Jiang Chen breaks through to the planetary level, even if this Moyun vine becomes ten times stronger, he can still easily deal with it.

But now, it has not yet reached the planetary level, and facing this Mo Yun vine, it can only choose to retreat.

"I've already gathered most of the plant spirits on Mist Island. At most, there are only three or four thousand-year-old plant spirits left. It's time to stop while I'm ahead and find a place to break through."

Looking at the bulging backpack behind him, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and decisively chose to retreat.

The speed of the Liuguang Sword under his feet was amazing. It soared into the sky and flexibly shuttled between the six Moyun vines that were attacking it, and flew out of the encirclement of the vines in an instant.

Looking at Kirishima moving away from him, Jiang Chen knew that he would come here again in the future.

But before that, he still had to go to Ruins No. 9 to see if his brain was broad enough to become a Yunmo Star person.

Only in this way can one gain the recognition of Babata and, with its help, travel to the universe.

Otherwise, the cosmic coordinates of the earth would have been blocked and covered up by Hu Yanbo using the secret space method.

Even if Jiang Chen has a spaceship, it will be difficult to come back once he leaves the universe without Babata's help.

After Jiang Chen left, the Moyun vine began to dance and lash wildly in the air angrily, with rumbling sounds coming one after another.

After a long time, the Moyun vine died down and there was no movement. The island returned to silence again.

……

On top of a thousand-meter-high mountain, Jiang Chen dug a cave with a flying knife on the steep hillside. He walked in, blocked the entrance, and began his retreat.

He sat cross-legged and first took out a thousand-year-old willow wood heart.

A thousand-year-old willow heart can significantly improve one's physical fitness, even better than dragon blood. It can also enhance one's own cell activity and improve one's body's recovery ability, which is extremely magical.

The effect of this ten thousand year old willow heart is more than ten times stronger than that of a thousand year old willow heart, and it is of great benefit even to planetary-level powerhouses.

According to the information he had read before, Jiang Chen cut open the shell of the willow heart, revealing the marrow fluid inside, and drank it down in one gulp.

The cool marrow fluid is smooth and delicious. After swallowing it, the huge amount of energy is swallowed and absorbed by the innate holy body, causing Jiang Chen's cell genes to undergo a fundamental transformation.

If other powerful warriors at the peak of high-level war gods devour this ten-thousand-year-old willow wood heart, they will probably have a great chance of reaching the first level of the planetary level.

But Jiang Chen's body was like a bottomless pit. After the marrow of the thousand-year-old willow heart was absorbed by Jiang Chen's body, there was no movement at all.

"The energy of a ten-thousand-year-old willow heart is truly far from enough."

Jiang Chen took out another thousand-year-old willow heart again, opened the shell, and swallowed the marrow fluid inside as before.

Although the energy contained in the heart of a thousand-year-old willow is far less than that of the heart of a ten-thousand-year-old willow, its quantity is much greater.

A total of nine thousand-year-old willow wood hearts were all swallowed by Jiang Chen.

If other high-level war gods swallowed so many thousand-year-old willow wood hearts, their bodies would probably not be able to withstand the huge energy and would explode and die.

But Jiang Chen's body was only slightly stronger than before, and there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

"Since it's not enough, then keep taking it!"

Jiang Chen picked up the other plant spirits and used them one after another according to different methods.

There are generally two ways to use these herbal spirits: one is external application and the other is internal administration.

The effects are also different. Some can improve physical fitness, some can optimize gene cells, and some can enhance mental power.

Of course, in addition to these effects, the most important thing is that the spirit of every plant contains immense energy.

This is also what Jiang Chen needs most.

There are more than a hundred plant spirits, including more than ten thousand-year-old plant spirits.

There are more than 110 thousand-year-old plant spirits.

These plant spirits, even the cheapest ones, are worth far more than dragon blood, at least over 100 billion.

This is the kind that is in short supply and difficult to buy with money.

The expensive ones, such as the thousand-year-old willow heart and the thousand-year-old redbud jade, are even more priceless treasures.

But now, these unimaginably precious plant spirits are being used one by one by Jiang Chen without any hesitation or heartache.

No matter how precious the spirits of plants and trees are, they are meant to be used. Compared with improving one's own strength, what are a few mere spirits of plants and trees worth?
Half a day passed, and Jiang Chen had used up all the spirits of the thousand-year-old plants and trees.

And only nine of those thousand-year-old plant spirits remain.

At this time, Jiang Chen's body finally felt a little "full".

Strike while the iron is hot, Jiang Chen used up all the remaining nine thousand-year-old plant spirits in one go.

Then he sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, and the cosmic energy flowed into Jiang Chen's body like a torrential waterfall.

In the next few days, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged like this, like a whirlpool in the sea, swallowing and absorbing endless cosmic energy.
