Chapter 305: After Modification: Chapter 304 Treasure Cover Spirit Gathering Tree In the grand hall, a middle-aged cultivator, dressed in a purple Daoist robe, exuded a restrained aura. Although he appeared ordinary, he seemed to harmonize with all of heaven and earth, possessing a natural Daoist grace. Below him stood several Immortal Cultivators. Among them, one had a left hand severed at the shoulder, another had a scattered aura, and the third had a solemn face. They were the three Bai Ziyue had previously seen. “In another year, the floating warship would descend. The battle for the twelve slots would inevitably become even fiercer. Various sects’ veteran powerhouses might make a move to secure a slot. Your ambush might very well be related to this.” The middle-aged cultivator’s gaze fell upon them, his expression solemn, as he said, “For the time being, you should stay within the sect to recover and avoid going out.” “Yes, Sect Leader!” The two injured individuals quickly nodded. Only the fierce youth was somewhat unwilling, saying, “Master, the competition for the twelve slots happens only once every thirty years. This opportunity is not just contested by our Sunrise Daoist Sect, but also by the Jiuhua Immortal Palace, Gu God Sect, Kunwu Sword Sect, and others. With my strength, I am not considered top-tier among the younger generation in the Sunrise Daoist Sect. Staying in the sect without experiencing trials and battles, there is simply no chance. I still wish to emulate Senior Brother Chen from thirty years ago, using an early-stage Enlightenment Realm to venture into the Jianghu, rise to the top within a year, and secure a spot. I am already at the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm. Though not surpassing Senior Brother Chen back then, I won’t underestimate myself.” Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the other two couldn’t help but shine with a hint of brilliance. The feats of Senior Brother Chen, which they had witnessed and heard about, naturally resonated with them, shaking them deeply. “Do you realize, in a world of great contention and rising chaos, what Chen Youdao experienced was a matter of life and death?” Wan Hong spoke with a deep gaze. “I am already mentally prepared.” Duan Xingchen said seriously. “Ah, go then.” Wan Hong looked at his disciple and let out a sigh. ... “I’ve achieved the entry-level of the Seven Evils True Fire!” Bai Ziyue felt a surge of joy and promptly reached out with his hand. In an instant, a pitch-black, ink-like flame flickered into existence on Bai Ziyue’s fingertip. His gaze shifted to the edge of the cultivation secret chamber, and he quickly spotted a boulder exposed at the chamber’s border. This boulder was massive and sturdy, its hardness rivaling refined iron due to prolonged Spiritual Qi exposure. Bai Ziyue casually flicked his hand, throwing the black flame onto it. Poof! The black flame silently and swiftly spread, incinerating the massive boulder entirely. The residual black flame didn’t diminish, burning a massive pit where it stood until it exhausted its energy and extinguished. “The temperature of this flame... so strong. Even surpassing Earth Fire.” Bai Ziyue gazed at the smoldering pit before him, with its magma-like liquid glinting brightly, leaving him somewhat shocked. *”This is just entry-level.* If this magic were cultivated to perfection, how powerful would the flame be?” Bai Ziyue pondered, his gaze eagerly drawn to the Attribute Panel. “Spend 347,535 points of Soul Energy to elevate the Seven Evils True Fire to Perfection!” “Elevate!” Bai Ziyue glanced at his Soul Energy count, decisively choosing to elevate. Buzz! The void trembled, slightly distorted, and Bai Ziyue began exuding an extremely dangerous aura. The black flame within him surged violently in his middle Dantian, rolling fiercely like a black fire dragon, radiating a savage and terrifying presence. His mind filled with endless insights about the Seven Evils True Fire Spell, flowing with profoundness, as notions and ingenious applications sparked wisdom in his eyes. “The Seven Evils True Fire has reached Perfection. At this moment, the power of the magic...” Bai Ziyue realized it, comprehending it, yet he struggled to find a comparable technique. Although in terms of intricacy, it was far inferior to the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, regarding destructiveness and savagery, it even surpassed, making it truly terrifying. *”A single expenditure consumed nearly 350,000 points of Soul Energy. This way, my Soul Energy has plummeted again, leaving only 150,000 points in reserve.”* Bai Ziyue let out a sigh, acutely feeling the inadequacy of his Soul Energy. *He knew well that besides the enhancement of his Immortal Technique power requiring Soul Energy, in terms of Martial Arts Dao, the Nine-Turns Innate Technique was also about to reach entry-level, not to mention the various magic techniques he had just exchanged for...* His deficit was indeed substantial. *”At this rate, even if the sect doesn’t arrange for me to go out, I won’t be able to endure staying, preferring to leave the sect to roam and explore. In the Sunrise Daoist Sect, there is no place that can significantly boost my Soul Energy.”* Bai Ziyue thought, looking wistfully towards Yunmiao Mountain Swamp. Although it was decent, being at the foot of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, inhabited by relatively weak poisonous insects and fierce beasts, the Soul Energy it provided wasn’t much. It wasn’t a suitable place. ... The Dao of cultivation lay in balance. After several consecutive days of cultivation, even Bai Ziyue had begun to feel somewhat exhausted. Thus, after raising the Seven Evils True Fire Spell to perfection, he got up and slowly walked out of the cave dwelling. *Sensing that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was even more abundant than when he first selected the cave dwelling, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but feel more at ease.* His gaze soon fell upon the three sections of spirit field. The spirit plant seedling had noticeably grown taller after a few days of growth, and the tender leaves increased from the original two to four. “Indeed, the Treasure Cover Spirit Gathering Tree, even in its infancy, already gathers Spiritual Qi effectively.” Thanks to the spirit plant secret record, which he exchanged for five thousand good deeds, he had found information regarding the seedling planted in the spirit field. The seedling was identified as a Third-Grade Spirit Tree, a Treasure Cover Spirit Gathering Tree. This kind of spirit tree had a singular yet highly intriguing effect. It often enhanced the concentration of Spiritual Qi within a certain range around the tree. When the spirit tree reached the First Grade, it could gradually gather Spiritual Qi even in lifeless places, causing the surrounding area’s Spiritual Qi concentration to be comparable to a Spirit Meridian Land of the same grade. Upon reaching the Second Grade, its effectiveness in gathering Spiritual Qi would improve, elevating the concentration to the level of a Second-grade spirit meridian. At the Third Grade, it could rival the level of a Third-Grade Spirit Meridian Land. *Over time, under the long-term nourishment of Spiritual Qi, it might even create a spirit meridian.* In other words, a Third-Grade Treasure Cover Spirit Gathering Tree could directly rival a Third-Grade spirit meridian. If planted in an actual spirit meridian location, it would further enrich the surrounding Spiritual Qi. A First-Grade Treasure Cover Spirit Gathering Tree combined with a First-grade Spiritual Land could be used as a Second-grade Spiritual Land, while a Second-Grade tree combined with a Second-grade Spiritual Land could be utilized as a Third-grade Spiritual Land, and a Third-Grade tree combined with a Third-grade Spiritual Land could be equivalent to a Fourth-grade Spiritual Land... In essence, it could elevate the grade of a Spiritual Land by one. Even though the Treasure Cover Spirit Gathering Tree was just in its infancy, it had already made the Spiritual Qi around his cave dwelling several times richer than an average First-grade Spiritual Land. “Immortal Master Bai, have you emerged from seclusion?” Fu Yongyu, who noticed Bai Ziyue exiting the cave dwelling, quickly approached with a respectful greeting. “Greetings, Immortal Master Bai!” Gao Ming, busy with tasks in the spirit field, also set aside his work to greet Bai Ziyue respectfully. “Hmm.” Bai Ziyue nodded and looked toward the spirit field nearby, asking, “Have there been any issues lately?” “A few days ago, a couple of spirit-devouring insects appeared in the spirit field, but fortunately, we detected and eliminated them within two days. Otherwise, an infestation of the spirit-devouring insects could easily affect the harvest.” Gao Ming reported, fearing Bai Ziyue’s concern, he hurriedly added, “Rest assured, Immortal Master Bai. We treasure that spirit plant seedling and won’t let any pests affect it.” “By the way, Immortal Master Bai, three days ago, an Immortal Master named Shi Lei came looking for you. Since you were in seclusion, we dared not disturb you. We thought he had left, but we noticed him nearby these days whenever we entered or exited, suggesting he might truly have urgent business...” Fu Yongyu quickly said, remembering something. “Oh?” Bai Ziyue raised his eyebrows slightly, asking, “He’s still outside?” “He should still be here!” Gao Ming replied. “Shi Lei? I see.” Bai Ziyue felt a bit puzzled but didn’t hesitate and walked directly outside the array. Buzz! As his mind moved, the array mist dissipated, and he immediately saw a resolute-looking figure sitting cross-legged not far away. “Elder Bai!” Shi Lei, seemingly sensing something, swiftly opened his eyes and stood up, bowing after seeing Bai Ziyue. “What do you want from me?” Bai Ziyue frowned and asked. *He wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with Shi Lei.* If he remembered correctly, Shi Lei had also participated in the auction above the Phoenix Pavilion in Sunrise Town, alongside the daughter of the Alchemy Pavilion’s Vice Pavilion Master Ye Kaiyang. *Although he also noted Ye Kaiyang’s expression turned quite unsightly upon seeing them arrive together.* “Elder Bai, the junior named Shi Lei has been stuck at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation for ten years. So, I humbly request Elder Bai to grant me an Enlightenment Pill.” Shi Lei’s resolute face showed a hint of determination as he directly knelt. “Enlightenment Pill?” Bai Ziyue raised his eyebrows and stepped aside, saying in a somber tone, “You should be aware that I’m out of Enlightenment Pills.” Indeed, he did have one complete Enlightenment Pill, but only he knew its existence. At least, in everyone’s eyes, his Enlightenment Pills had been entirely auctioned off at the last auction.
