Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

He focused his senses on his fingertips and probed into the interior of the branch he was touching.

The deeper you explore, the clearer your perception becomes.

The internal structure of this branch is completely different from that of the ordinary vines around it.

The interior of ordinary vines is nothing more than common plant fibers, and even in a magical realm, they are only slightly moistened by the magic diffused in the environment.

But this branch—within it lies a rich and pure magic.

That magical power was steady and substantial, like a deep pool sealed within a container. Its aura...

Mo Fan frowned slightly, searching his mind for a similar feeling.

—And the wood-based medicinal materials he handled while working at Pandonog Pharmaceuticals.

They are extremely similar.

No.

It's not just similar.

This is the magic element of the wood attribute. Moreover, its purity is extremely high, far exceeding that contained in ordinary medicinal herbs.

This branch—is not part of this green wall.

It's just something that's attached to it.

Having confirmed this, Mo Fan did not withdraw his hand.

He tried to mobilize the magic power within his body, gently touching this wood-attribute magic power in an extremely gentle way.

It was not an intrusion. It was not an acquisition.

Rather, it's about communication.

Just as Elder Mugen once taught him—"All things have a spirit, and magic has a nature. If you treat it as an equal, it will respond to you."

Chapter 248 Wood Spirit Stone

Mo Fan's magic gently touched it.

one second.

Two seconds...

Yan Liang stood to the side, watching Mo Fan close his eyes and touch a tree branch with a bored expression, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Is this person mentally unstable?

But the next second—

"Om-"

An extremely faint buzzing sound emanated from within the branches and leaves.

The dormant wood-attribute magic within the branches seemed to have been awakened.

The entire branch and leaves suddenly burst forth with a bright emerald green light.

The light arrived abruptly, yet it was not dazzling. It was soft and restrained, like the first ray of sunlight filtering through the leaves in the early morning.

Zhuang Xiao's eyes widened suddenly.

Yan Liang was also stunned, his mouth slightly open.

And within that emerald light—

The branches and leaves began to change.

It quickly detached from the wall, shrinking, condensing, and compressing in the air. The emerald green leaves and slender veins all transformed into flowing emerald light spots in the light, swirling and converging inward.

The light spots shrank tighter and tighter, becoming more and more dense.

finally--

It solidified into a piece of emerald green stone.

It is about half the size of a palm, and its entire body is like jade, with a bright green color. It has a warm and smooth texture and a slightly cool touch. There is a green leaf pattern inside.

It floated lightly into Mo Fan's outstretched palm.

The light faded.

Where the branches and leaves once extended from the wall, only a shallow indentation remained, which was quickly filled and covered by the surrounding vines, leaving no trace.

It was as if nothing had ever existed there.

Mo Fan looked down at the emerald stone in his palm, his gaze slightly narrowed.

[Wood Spirit Stone x1]

[Introduction: Wood Spirit Stone, a spirit stone formed from the condensation of wood-type magic over many years. It can greatly increase the experience of wood-attribute pets and increase their wood-attribute affinity by 10%.]

"What? What is that? Let me see it?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. It was Yan Liang. At the same time, his hand reached out the instant the voice rang out.

However, at the same time, Mo Fan flicked his wrist and put the wood spirit stone directly into his backpack.

Now, Yan Liang had no choice but to withdraw his hand, which was halfway through its reach.

His fingertips froze in mid-air for a moment, then he casually scratched the back of his head.

"Mo Fan, what was that thing you were holding just now?"

He tried to sound casual, but his eyes were fixed on the hand that Mo Fan was putting into his backpack, his gaze almost overflowing with inquiry. Of course, he knew about spirit stones.

"Spirit Stone".

Mo Fan said in a flat tone.

Upon hearing the words "spirit stone," Yan Liang's eyes widened immediately.

"Spirit Stones!"

He certainly knew about spirit stones.

Since the Kingdom of Roc merged with reality, various resources that can enhance the strength of pets have long been the focus of players' attention.

Even among these resources, spirit stones are undoubtedly rare treasures.

It can not only provide a lot of experience for pets of the corresponding attribute, but also increase the pet's affinity for the corresponding attribute.

Experience is not a problem.

However, attribute affinity cannot be increased simply through battles and leveling up.

For a moment, an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up in Yan Liang's heart.

But the next moment, it was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Because he suddenly realized—the spirit stone wasn't his, but Mo Fan's.

Mo Fan's action of flipping his wrist and putting it into his backpack was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

That action clearly indicated that there was no intention to give it to him.

Mo Fan didn't say anything at this moment, but turned around and continued walking towards the passage ahead.

His steps were steady, no different from before. It was as if what had just happened was as ordinary as picking up a stone on the road.

Yan Liang's face darkened instantly.

On that face, which was not particularly handsome to begin with, the lips were pressed tightly together, the brows were furrowed, and a hint of unspeakable resentment flashed in the eyes.

However, it only lasted for a short while.

He took a deep breath, and the gloom on his face quickly faded, replaced by a friendly expression.

After quickly catching up with the two, he moved closer to Mo Fan's side.

"By the way, Mo Fan, how did you do all that just now?" Yan Liang's tone was curious and probing. "How did you know that vine could turn into spirit stones? To me it just looked like an ordinary tree branch."

Mo Fan didn't even turn his head.

"A personal talent."

"Talent?" Yan Liang was taken aback. "What's that? How does talent work?"

Mo Fan didn't say anything more.

His pace remained unchanged, his gaze fixed straight ahead, showing neither a perfunctory attitude nor any intention to continue explaining.

Silence itself is the answer.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Yan Liang moved his mouth but ultimately did not continue to ask.

But his mind worked much faster than his feet.

--talent.

What talent?

Is it called talent to be able to find hidden spirit stones in an ordinary wall of green plants?

Yan Liang didn't quite believe this explanation.

But he couldn't investigate further.

However—one thing is certain.

Mo Fan is indeed quite capable.

Moreover, it's the kind of skill that doesn't show off.

At this moment, Yan Liang's mind was already engaged in a fierce brainstorming session.

He originally thought that given the conflicting interests among the three, it would be best to maintain the status quo.

That is, each person takes their own.

Because this is actually the best thing for him.

After all, he had already used up the eggshell fragments, and the Rockberry, cocoa berries, and pet egg were all in his backpack. He had already gotten his share of the benefits, and he didn't want to share them with anyone else.

But now it seems—
