I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 125 All of humanity is cheering for this moment!
Qi Xuan's gaze was fixed on him.

He stared intently at a certain spot on the tree roots.

Netizens also noticed the anomaly and began discussing it:

"What is Qi Shen looking at?"

"That seems to be the place where Nangong Yaohua has secluded himself, right?"

"Could it be remnants of burial goods? Scraps of cloth, yellow talismans? Mucus?"

"The name 'mucus' sounds very spiritual."

"Holy crap! Could it be that tumor?"

"Ah! My eyes are going blind! Trypophobia! Trypophobia!!"

……

Qi Xuan was indeed looking at those tumors.

Numerous egg-shaped growths are found on the root system.

Or it shouldn't be called a tumor, but rather a seed.

These are all seeds of the Qing Shen Mother Tree. Perhaps because Nangong Yaohua once sealed himself here, the seeds all grew around him due to his influence.

Unfortunately, almost all of these seeds had withered and died. Their surfaces were gray and lifeless, and some had even hardened, feeling like tree trunks.

Qi Xuan carefully and meticulously touched each tree species, examining them one by one.

Finally, at the very bottom corner of the tree roots, he unearthed a withered, yellow seed no bigger than an egg.

He didn't know if the seed was still alive, but it was the one that looked to be in the best condition of all the tree species.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Xuan took out the Seven Star Spirit Herb Liquid from his personal space.

This is a spiritual liquid he recently obtained, made from Seven Star Grass, Yellow Licorice Juice, and Moon Dew. It is originally used to water spiritual plants to accelerate their growth. He doesn't usually need it, so he just casually stuffed it into his space. Now he's using it to water the mother tree seedlings, but he doesn't know if it will have any effect.

He nervously dripped the Seven Star Spirit Herb Liquid onto the tree seed, not daring to water it too much at once, for fear of killing it.

The Seven Star Spirit Herb Liquid dripped onto the tree seed and immediately seeped in, causing the withered yellow surface to regain a hint of freshness.

Upon seeing this, Qi Xuan was overjoyed:

"It works! The tree species can be saved!"

He continuously poured the spiritual liquid onto the tree seed.

Once the entire bottle of Seven Star Spirit Herb Liquid was used up, the tree seedlings were a tender, fresh green, looking very vibrant.

Upon seeing this, netizens were all excited:

"It's a tree species?! It's a tree species!!!"

"Heavens above! God! This time we're saved!!"

"With the tree seed, how far are we from planting the Pure Spirit Mother Tree? How far are we from obtaining the Pure Spirit Jade Dew?!"

"【Osteopathy】is curable! It's curable! Hahaha!!"

……

Although it is just a tree seed, a tree seed that has just been saved, it is far from growing into the Mother Tree of Purifying Spirit, let alone producing the Jade Dew of Purifying Spirit.

But netizens are still very excited.

Even though it's in Qi Xuan's hands, it's still very far removed from their reality.

But this tree species represents hope, hope in dealing with osteoporosis.

Today, the terrifying nature of osteoporosis is evident in every aspect, requiring no further explanation.

Everyone is worried that they might contract this disease.

No one wants to experience that kind of pain, that kind of mutation.

The most terrifying thing is that they can't find the corresponding antidote at all.

Whether it's a calming pill, a refreshing dew, or a cicada elixir.

Although they all know it's helpful for osteoporosis, they've never actually seen it!
It would be one thing if Qi Xuan couldn't find a small island on the ground, but if he couldn't find it even in the floating continent, that would be a real disaster!

That is true despair!

But Qi Xuan has now been found.

What he found was even the mother tree seed!

This is a moment to remember!
All of humanity is cheering for this moment!
Let's cheer for that tiny tree seed!
Regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or skin color, everyone felt the same joy.

At the tree hole site, Qi Xuan was also overjoyed to see the tree species come back to life.

However, after his initial joy, he regained his composure and then addressed the crowd:
"As you all have probably seen, we obtained a seed of the Pure Spirit Mother Tree and, with the help of spiritual liquid, managed to bring it to life."

But we shouldn't be too happy yet, because the condition of this tree species is still not very good.

For example, here we can still see a little bit of withered yellow residue inside.

This means that the spiritual liquid I provided was not nutritious enough to fully restore its vitality.

It must be watered with a more potent spiritual elixir to truly preserve it.

"In addition, this tree species was produced by the mother tree. Under normal circumstances, the mother tree will not produce tree species. Only when it is about to die will it produce a large number of tree species."

Although the saplings produced by the mother tree are easier to cultivate than those from the daughter trees, they still have a relatively high loss rate.

Under normal circumstances, it would be remarkable if a dozen or so of the many tree species on the root system could survive.

Of these dozen or so seeds that survive, only one will eventually grow into a mother tree, while the others will remain as saplings.

Therefore, we shouldn't be too proud or complacent just because we've obtained the tree seeds; the real hard work comes from the subsequent cultivation.

"Fortunately, I found some fragmented records in the Nangong family beforehand, which gave me a general idea of ​​how to cultivate the mother tree."

Specifically, at least two conditions need to be met.

The first one is an extremely high-quality spiritual liquid.

The second is the treasure of cultivation.

While spiritual elixirs can still be obtained from outside sources, specially refined cultivation treasures can probably only be found within the major families.

Actually, there was a third condition that Qi Xuan didn't mention to the camera.

That is, in the initial growth stage of the mother tree, at least one foundation-building person is needed to support it.

Because the mother tree will attract many natural enemies and even pests when it first develops, it must be protected by a Foundation Establishment level combatant in order to successfully survive this calamity.

These are all painful lessons recorded by the Nangong family.

After chatting with netizens for a few more minutes, Qi Xuan ended the broadcast.

Even after the broadcast ended, he didn't rest and continued to raid the tree hole scene.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that he dug up every corner around him, even breaking open many of the root systems.

And this did bring some gains. For example, he found a manual for cultivating spiritual plants, a map, several talismans that had not yet expired, a few spirit stones, and even dry food similar to satiety pills.

Unfortunately, no new tree species were discovered.

It seems that when the Qing Shen Mother Tree withered and died, it likely concentrated all its essence around Nangong Yaohua, hoping that he could take the seeds out.

We entrusted our trust to the wrong person.

But judging from the outcome, it's not bad that it ended up in his hands.

Wait, is this some kind of NTR?

No, the victim is already dead, so it doesn't count.

Qi Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further delay, he lit a bonfire in the tree hollow, had Sunday lie down beside it to keep watch, and then began today's lottery.

Open the lottery page and scan the QR code in the upper right corner.

267B.

His popularity has remained above 250 for the past few days, which suggests that spreading martial arts knowledge previously laid the foundation for his high popularity.

Unfortunately, you can't always draw martial arts skills.

Previously, techniques like "Swift Wind Palm" were only available to cultivators; martial artists couldn't practice them.

"Sigh, I wish I could draw a cultivation manual someday."

"If we bring Earth directly into the era of cultivation, wouldn't I be able to get five or six hundred B every day?"

"I can get the silver guarantee as easily as eating and drinking."

"But judging from the current progress, it should be soon. With so many draws every day, there's bound to be one lucky draw."

Qi Xuan didn't delay any longer. He immediately pressed the lever on the slot machine and slammed it down.

Amidst the low, melodious music, the ten orbs of light quickly fell to the ground. Three were ordinary objects, and seven were spiritual objects.

not bad.

Qi Xuan opened the prize he had won on the spot. Putting aside the ordinary items, there were four spiritual materials and herbs among the seven spiritual items.

To be honest, these spiritual materials and herbs are actually quite useful if you accumulate a lot of them.

Take the Seven Star Spirit Herb Liquid, for example. It's not difficult to prepare and doesn't require any advanced alchemy techniques.

He's just lacking materials.

Once all the materials were gathered, the Seven Star Spirit Herb Elixir was prepared.

Even if the grade isn't high enough, I refuse to believe that watering the mother tree seed every day won't make it grow well.

Of the remaining three spiritual items, one is a ground-sinking talisman, one is a warning talisman, and one is a Green Wood Pill.

They're all old acquaintances, but that doesn't mean they're unreliable. Sometimes you even specifically seek out acquaintances to have a late-night chat with a young lady.

If I had had the Earth Trap Talisman in hand when I faced Nangong Wuji last time, even if I had only delayed him for a moment longer, I might not have been injured.

You only realize how little you have when you need talismans.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see the value of the second-grade talisman, the "Any Talisman".

In Qi Xuan's eyes, the value of the Arbitrary Talisman might even exceed that of most magical artifacts.

"Unfortunately, the only way to get it is through the guaranteed minimum."

"The probability of drawing any symbol normally is extremely low."

Shaking his head, Qi Xuan drew ten more.

The drop rate was also pretty good this time; there were a total of seven spirit items.

Three of the items are spiritual materials and plants, and the other three are pills: one Rejuvenation Pill and one Green Wood Pill.

The remaining one was none other than the Bloodthirsty Pill.

Special praise should be given to Bao Xue Dan, who played a crucial role in the last battle against Nangong Wuji.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of the Bloodthirsty Pill, even if he hadn't died, his injuries would have been much more severe than before.

This is a truly life-saving item, only slightly inferior to a minor teleportation talisman.

As for the last magical item, it looks rather mysterious.

This talisman is called an exorcism talisman, but it's different from the exorcism talismans drawn by sorcerers and shamans on Earth. This thing really has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

The simplest point is that it can dispel the negative effects of evil spirits entering the body, suppress some low-level evil spirits on the spot, and also weaken higher-level evil spirits to a certain extent.

So here's the question: are monsters like Nangong Wuji and Nangong Yaohua, who transformed from Foundation Establishment cultivators, considered evil spirits?
On the one hand, their strange characteristics such as immortality, madness, and killing suggest that they already possess the features of evil spirits.

However, on the other hand, these symptoms are very likely caused by osteophyte disease, and the pathogenic factors may differ from those of ordinary pathogenic factors.

Most importantly, if the exorcism talisman is truly effective against "osteophyte disease," the Nangong family, as a family of cultivators, would certainly stockpile it in large quantities.

Anyway, I'll give it a try next time I encounter this situation, whether it's a good chance or not, I'll take a shot.

It's best if it works, but it's okay if it doesn't.

After putting all the prizes away, Qi Xuan looked at the lottery page again.

There are 67B left in the top right corner, and the pool has already been filled with 80 pulls.

Thinking back to the Yin-Yang Jade Crane Technique he had previously drawn, the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Talisman, and even the Random Talisman, all of them had played a significant role in his exploration, combat, and even the increase in popularity.

This upcoming fourth guaranteed return naturally filled Qi Xuan with great anticipation.

He didn't even want to draw any magical artifacts.

Ideally, it should be a special talisman or elixir; cultivation techniques are also acceptable.

What if I could find a cultivation technique for immortality?

Anyway, we'll know the results tomorrow.

tomorrow.

You're guaranteed to get a new round of bronze-level protection!

Qi Xuan took a deep breath to calm his excited heart, sat down to meditate, and began to cultivate on the spot.

……

The island is located near the central part of the mainland.

With a deafening roar, the tall, thick tree collapsed to one side under the felling of the fully automated logging machine, shaking the entire ground and sending up a cloud of fallen leaves and dust.

Before the fallen leaves and dust could settle, the loggers who had been waiting nearby rushed forward, wielding professional chainsaws and other equipment. Amidst the ear-piercing roar, they quickly removed branches, cut down trees, loaded them, and transported them along the cleared paths through the forest to the outside.

Many of the equipment on site, including the loggers, were all hired by Alfonso at high prices, specifically to carve out a road into the forest.

They had initially abandoned this plan to protect the sacred tree inside, but after discovering that the tree inside was not the so-called sacred tree, but a vine made of twisted and intertwined vampire vines, the plan was put back into practice.

Once the true nature of the sacred tree was exposed, the enormous profits vanished. It's impossible for Alfonso not to feel resentment.

He invested hundreds of billions of dollars to get to the island, and if he doesn't reap enough benefits, it will be a real loss.

Therefore, even after discovering that the sacred tree was a vampire vine, after agonizing for a while, he still gritted his teeth and decided to pluck all of these vampire vines.

Unfortunately, the route he chose to get to the island was completely blocked by dense forest.

The forest is secluded and deep, and the dangers should not be underestimated. However, on the other hand, drones and even various heavy weapons are difficult to deploy in such places.

If one wants to bypass the vampire vines and continue exploring, the manpower and resources required will be considerable, and it is not impossible to lose hundreds of people.

Most importantly, even if hundreds of people are lost, it is not guaranteed that the gains will cover the losses.

If you accidentally encounter some strange and ferocious beast, or even some bizarre and outrageous magical plant, you may end up with nothing to show for your efforts.

Instead of gambling on a slim chance of success, it's better to just take the vampire vine directly.

At least thanks to Qi Xuan's instruction, they now know how to deal with the vampire vine and how to safely remove this terrifying plant.

Although the value of the blood-sucking vine is far less than that of other spiritual items such as the silver-grass, it seems there is absolutely no need to pick it.

But what if someone is willing to pay for this?

Even if it's put up for auction, its scarcity can still recoup some of the losses.

Most importantly, the vampire vine itself has hallucinogenic and other properties, and it may be possible to develop groundbreaking new drugs using it as a raw material in the future.

Even if it's a loss of tens of billions, it might be possible to make up for it in the end.

After careful consideration, Alfonso decisively issued the order to cut down the vampire vines.

Then came the bustling scene of construction that we see before us.

At night, bright spotlights pierce the darkness.

The vigilant exploration team, armed with various weapons, stood guard nearby, while the loggers, drenched in sweat, continued cutting down trees inside.

As midnight approached, the last giant tree collapsed, and the space in front of us suddenly opened up.

Upon seeing the enormous vine-covered tree formed by countless twisted vines in the distance, everyone present cheered.

Immediately, all the logging equipment and loggers were evacuated from the scene.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of liquid nitrogen refrigeration trucks were lifted ashore from the long-arm barge that Alfonso had rented at great expense, using a mechanical crane that was tens of meters long. They then drove along the pre-repaired road and soon arrived at the scene.

The vehicle was parked about a hundred meters away from the vampire vine. A long cooling tube was pulled out of the vehicle. One part was held by professionals wearing protective suits, while the other part was placed on a drone, which was controlled by a pilot to fly over the giant vine.

At Alfonso's command, liquid nitrogen, specifically designed for rapid freezing, was sprayed from a specially designed atomizing nozzle system.

Liquid nitrogen, atomized into tiny particles, greatly increases the contact area with the outside world.

In an instant, a terrifying chill descended upon the area, massive amounts of white mist rose up, and a large amount of frost covered all the surrounding trees. Many leaves affected by the liquid nitrogen freezing became brittle and broke off. Even some beasts controlled by the vampire vines nearby were frozen solid on the spot.

As the primary target of the liquid nitrogen, the crystalline vines immediately burst open like a swarm of snakes upon initial impact, desperately trying to evade the liquid nitrogen.

As the tall vines collapsed in an instant, everyone was overjoyed to see them hastily dodge the liquid nitrogen.

Just as Qi Xuan said, this thing is afraid of cold air!
Immediately, they used drones and even jet cooling pipes to close the distance and launch an attack on the Vampire Vine from the sky and all around.

The menacing blood-sucking vines couldn't frolic for long; under the terrifying dousing of liquid nitrogen, they all stiffened and fell to the ground like dead snakes.

But they did not die; they were merely frozen temporarily.

No one dared to be careless. While maintaining the liquid nitrogen irrigation, they began digging around to dig out the roots of the bloodsucking vine, protect them completely, and then load them into a refrigerated truck equipped with special protective walls for emergency transport onto the ship.

While everyone was busy, some of the beasts that were still able to move around broke free from the control of the vampire vines and fled desperately in all directions.

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out continuously.

Interspersed with the roars of animals and the sounds of them fleeing.

The scene was chaotic, with team members scrambling around in disarray.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the vampire vines and the beast horde, a group of insects no bigger than a thumb burst open from the frozen mouthparts of the vampire vines. Countless rice-grain-sized eggs quickly escaped, sprouted translucent membranous wings, and, taking advantage of the thick darkness, flew into the sky, gradually disappearing into the distance...
