Starting as a spiritual plant master, may I eventually become the master of all lands.

Chapter 125 Is this really Senior Sister Dai?

After strolling around the treehouse market for a while and seeing many of the wooden craftsmen's spirits, Song Chuan and his two companions came down from the treehouse, walked to the archway, and prepared to leave.

Song Chuan reached out and touched two more spirit stones, then tossed them to Bai Wunong: "Take these. Thanks to you for leading the way, it saved us a lot of trouble."

Bai Wunong hurriedly accepted the spirit stones, his green fur swaying wildly. He wanted to refuse, but after glancing at Song Chuan's expression, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!"

Song Chuan waved his hand, summoned the green leaf magic weapon, and soared into the sky with Dai Lingjun.

You can still faintly hear Bai Wunong waving his large, hairy hands below, calling out, "Senior, come visit my house sometime! It's on the mountain where you saw me when you came, the brown wooden house in the eighth row—"

Song Chuan shook his head and chuckled. This Bai Wunong is not old, but he really has the mentality of a young man!

The two flew to their residence, and Dai Lingjun said, "Thank you—thank you—Song."

"Senior Sister Dai, there's no need for such formalities. We're all fellow disciples, just strolling around the market together. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't invite you in," Song Chuan quickly interrupted her and went straight into the treehouse.

Dai Lingjun lowered her head and pinched the hem of her clothes. When she raised her head again, the fair skin on her face trembled. Then, a piece of skin the size of a fingernail suddenly fell off her forehead.

She reached up and brushed her hand across her forehead, murmuring, "I need to find a spiritual vein and nourish it with the Spirit-Nourishing Wood." Her speech was neither hesitant nor timid, and her expression was neither shy nor timid.

Looking at Song Chuan's treehouse, she smiled strangely, turned around, chose a direction, and flew away.

Inside the house, Song Chuan had already begun reading "The Catalogue of Strange Stones" with great interest.

Even though he had some knowledge of earth-type spiritual objects, this book still broadened his horizons. He never expected there to be so many strange stones that he didn't know about!

He first looked at one of the legendary types mentioned inside:

The Cloud Pattern Force-Dissipating Stone is a unique defensive stone that can generate cloud-like energy to dissipate the force of attacks layer by layer!

Warm Wood Stone, a unique stone for nurturing trees, emits a faint warm light. When you get close, you can smell the fragrance of grass and trees. Planting important spiritual plants near this stone can greatly promote their growth, surpassing ordinary spiritual cultivation techniques!

The Illusionary Mist Stone, a wondrous stone of the Illusionary Path, is entirely shaped like a wisp of light mist, feeling weightless and unreal to the touch. It can exhale and exhale mist, transforming the surrounding scenery.

Thunderstone, formed in places where lightning strikes frequently, takes ten thousand years to form a small piece. The stone is covered with lightning patterns and has electric arcs that bounce off. After being refined, it needs to be frequently nurtured with lightning.

Song Chuan was dumbfounded; some of these strange stones had not appeared for thousands of years.

-

He continued reading and found a category called Advanced Rare Stones, which included the Earth Locust Stone!

This stone is an unusual stone formed by absorbing the impure energy and spiritual earth elements from the ground.

The second-tier stones resemble ordinary stones and cannot be distinguished from those that are not source stones. After being refined, they can be used in conjunction with the earth-based spell "Stone-Driving Technique" for even greater power.

To advance their cultivation level, cultivators must frequently nourish it with earth elemental power and utilize the earth element of the spiritual veins, which may shorten the advancement time.

Song Chuan stared into deep thought, realizing that this earth locust stone was somewhat similar to his own cultivation method!

However, I didn't expect that this thing would also absorb the turbid air from underground.

In the cultivation world, it is generally believed that heaven and earth are formed from two kinds of energy: pure energy in the sky and turbid energy on the earth. All living beings are born from the interaction of pure and turbid energy.

Ordinary impurities should not be allowed to taint the body, because most people cultivate to expel impurities from their bodies and achieve a state of purity and clarity. Of course, exceptions exist for some non-human races and special cultivation methods.

My own earthen stone is only of the second rank. Advancing it is much more difficult than a Foundation Establishment cultivator forming a Core.

If we categorize them by the speed of cultivation advancement, humans are naturally first, followed by ancient extraordinary peoples, then demonic beasts, then spiritual plants, and finally stones and artifacts!

Hehe, this piece of earth locust stone is enough for the Foundation Establishment stage. There's no need to delay your cultivation to advance it, but you can still nurture it appropriately.

The book also mentions a spiritual plant called "Stone-Suppressing Grass," which can actually counteract the attacking strange stones like Earth Locust Stone. It is an extremely rare spiritual plant that Song Chuan had never heard of before.

Looking at the list of attack-type strange stones in this book, the Earth Locust Stone ranks tenth! Not bad! After all, the top five strange stones are impossible to find, while the sixth to tenth place stones can occasionally appear.

He closed the book and carefully put it away, intending to read it often in the future.

Then he opened the spell section of the "Earth Prison Seed Yuan Technique," which contained the "Stone Driving Technique." He had previously thought it was not very useful, since he only had one Earth Locust Stone, which he had used before and could attack automatically without needing to be driven, so he had not practiced it.

It seems I need to work on my training properly!

Five days later, Song Chuan held the earth locust stone in his hand, played with it for a while, and then put it into his storage bag. The stone-driving technique wasn't that complicated, and he had already mastered the basics.

He pondered for a moment, then got up and left the treehouse.

There must be a large formation beneath the mountain where the market is located, but I don't know if it's fully activated yet.

He reached out and scooped up a handful of sand, sprinkled it on himself, and then turned into a beam of yellow light and disappeared without a trace.

Underground, Song Chuan carefully slipped away.

As he expected, the market was not officially open, and the formation was only partially activated. Fortunately, he had studied formations at the sect for a while before.

This is a large array that is not "friendly" to the earth element. The array core releases powerful wood-type spiritual energy, forming a crisscrossing net of spiritual energy, attempting to use the rule of wood overcoming earth to prohibit earth escape!

This large formation is a combination formation, and it seems that other formations have been recently embedded into it, making it difficult to identify.

After observing for a while, Song Chuan chuckled and attached his divine sense to the Qianhuang Pearl, carefully avoiding the spiritual energy net, and disappeared into the deeper layers of soil.

It's best not to extract the earth element from the hidden stone vein in shallower areas, as it's easy to trigger the grand formation. Besides, the Wood Guest is also skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through earth), so it might be broken.

He descended nearly seven or eight hundred feet in one breath before stopping. Avoiding the array's core, he circled around for a while and arrived at a spiritual vein node, where he began to extract earth elemental energy.

Two hours later, several nodes had been extracted, but he frowned slightly because he found that many of the branch nodes seemed to have been tampered with recently.

Could someone else be doing this? Is it a human or a Woodcutter?

In order not to damage the spiritual veins, he had to find as many places as possible.

Just as he finished drawing the last drop and was about to leave, his expression suddenly changed. With a wave of his hand, a layer of yellow cloud enveloped his body. As the yellow cloud swayed, he merged into the spiritual vein and disappeared.

A woman appeared, moving with incredible speed. Her earth-based escape technique wasn't particularly advanced, but it still seemed to have some skill involved.

She arrived at this spiritual vein node, looked around, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Then, she swept her hands over her shoulders, her long skirt fell to the ground, and with a gentle flick, her undergarment was tossed aside.

With a casual kick of both feet, shoes and socks came off.

Her skin was as smooth as ice and her bones as fine as jade; her face was radiant and her skin flawless.

Her snow-white figure was slender and graceful, radiant with beauty.

She reached out and beckoned, and wisps of spiritual energy from her spiritual veins gathered around her.

The infusion of spiritual energy seemed to make her feel quite comfortable. She let out a soft moan and simply lay down halfway.

She propped herself up with one hand, supporting her cheek, while the other hand held the Spirit-Nourishing Wood. Her ankles were draped over each other, and she looked quite content.

Dai Lingjun! Song Chuan could hardly believe his eyes.

Is this really Senior Sister Dai?
