Chapter 444: The Land of Extreme Wood

Soon, Li Mu followed the eight clan leaders and set off to the Cangyuan Secret Realm.

The group drove the flying swords, like a meteor across the sky, quickly crossed a continuous range of mountains and ridges, flew over steep peaks, swept through deep canyons, and finally arrived at a dense ancient forest, which was like a green ocean, with towering trees and lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.

After flying over the ancient forest, the group came to a steep canyon. On both sides of the canyon, the cliffs were towering into the clouds and the rocks were rugged. Under the guidance of the eight clan leaders, Li Mu followed them and flew into a protruding boulder platform in the canyon.

"Master Li, I'm here! This is the entrance to the Cangyuan Secret Realm!"

Kun Yuanba smiled and introduced Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, looked around, and immediately found some traces of ancient array patterns around the boulder platform.

The eight clan leaders stood apart. They solemnly took out a formation card from their storage bag and inserted it into a node in the formation pattern. As the formation card was embedded, the ancient formation pattern gradually lit up, as if a sleeping giant beast was slowly waking up.

"This is the formation to open the Cangyuan Secret Realm. It requires the eight clan leaders of our clan to work together to start it." Kun Yuanba explained to Li Mu, with expectation and pride in his eyes.

As the formation was activated, the boulder platform began to tremble slightly, and then a dazzling light burst out from the center of the formation pattern, covering everyone. After the light dissipated, Li Mu found himself in a completely different world.

The sky showed a strange dark green color, and the ground under his feet was a vast forest, growing all kinds of strange spiritual plants, exuding a strong aroma of grass and wood, and the rich Yimu spiritual power was blowing in his face. In the distance, an ancient tree stood tall, like a big umbrella, covering the entire secret space.

Li Mu took a deep breath of the rich Yimu spiritual energy and felt that the five elements of true essence in his body were trembling slightly, and were injected with a strong vitality. Looking around, he saw that every tree in this forest seemed to have life. Their branches and leaves swayed gently in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if whispering in his ear.

"Is this the Cangyuan Secret Realm?" Li Mu secretly exclaimed in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the ancient tree in the sky. It stood tall and majestic, with lush branches and leaves, as if it was the guardian of the entire secret realm. He could feel the powerful breath emanating from it, which was an ancient and profound power.

Under the innate magical power-identifying all spirits, the attributes of the ancient tree in the sky were presented on the panel in front of Li Mu.

[Cangyuan Qingmu]

[Grade: Ninth-level Divine Wood]

[Features: Qingmu is transformed into a god, evergreen for thousands of years, Qingmu traces its origin, wood contains the sky, full of vitality, and wood connects heaven and earth]

[Status: Hundreds of thousands of years of ancient wood, the wood spirit fell into a deep sleep. 】

【Cangyuan Qingmu, a ninth-level sacred tree, is a sacred tree born from the intersection of heaven and earth. It has luxuriant branches and leaves, verdant and dripping, and flowing with vigorous life force. It is deeply rooted in the earth, absorbing the essence of life between heaven and earth, and is closely connected with the origin of life in the universe. It contains the mystery of the source of life, and has the ability to connect all the trees between heaven and earth. It has endless vitality and vigor. Its branches and leaves sway in the wind, as if breathing and sharing the same fate with heaven and earth. It symbolizes the source of all the trees between heaven and earth, with infinite vitality and evergreen. 】

"Master Li, we are now in the outer area of ​​​​Cangyuan Secret Realm. The restrictions in this area are still under our control. If we want to go deep into the restrictions, we will have no choice. If we forcibly destroy the restrictions in the core area, I am afraid it will cause unpredictable consequences and even affect the seal of the entire secret realm." Nangong Lie looked at Li Mu and reminded him hurriedly.

"I know, please rest assured, Senior Nangong, I will not enter the core area!" Li Mu smiled and gestured.

Nangong Lie's worries were slightly relieved after hearing this. He looked at Li Mu and nodded, saying, "That's great. Sect Master Li, since you are ready, please choose a suitable spiritual land in this outer area. It's a rare trip to Cangyuan Secret Realm. I'm going to pick some rare spiritual medicines, so I won't accompany you."

As soon as the voice fell, Nangong Lie's figure was like a flash of lightning, flying towards a spiritual tree that exuded rich spiritual energy.

"That's right, Sect Master Li, the restrictions in Cangyuan Secret Realm are extraordinary. This is your first time here, so please be careful." Zhao Wuji bowed to Li Mu and gestured.

The other clan leaders followed suit. After saying goodbye to Li Mu, they couldn't wait to search for high-level spiritual plants.

In the past, in order to guard the Cangyuan Secret Realm, each time it was opened, the eight major families would order the elite family members to enter and pick spiritual medicines. This time, because of Li Mu, the eight clan leaders broke the ancestral precepts and entered the Cangyuan Secret Realm in person. Naturally, they didn't want to miss those high-level spiritual medicines that were also effective for them.

Soon, the only person left beside Li Mu was Kun Yuanba, the head of the Kun family, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Chief Kun, please do as you please! No need to take care of me!" Li Mu smiled at Kun Yuanba, knowing that he was embarrassed to leave him, and quickly gestured.

Li Mu had his own plans and didn't like being followed by him.

Hearing this, Kun Yuanba hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master Li, then you should be careful. If you have any questions, just pass on the flying sword to me. To be honest, there is an ancestral item in my clan, which is said to be in a corner of the Cangyuan Secret Realm. This time I came here in person, in addition to picking spiritual medicine, I also hope to find this lost treasure."

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded slightly, smiled and nodded: "Master Kun, go find it. If you need help, I will send you a message."

Kun Yuanba nodded, turned and left, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

After watching him leave, Li Mu performed the Wood Escape Technique and began to select a suitable spiritual place in the secret realm. As far as his eyes could see, towering spiritual trees, thousands of them, and tens of thousands of years old, came into view.

Innate magical power-under the recognition of all spirits, their attributes are presented one by one.

……

It has a strong vitality, endless, can naturally protect the creatures around it, and at the same time exudes a faint wood-based aura, which helps the creatures to practice. 】

……

As far as his eyes could see, the properties of various high-level spiritual plants were countless and presented to Li Mu's eyes. He was dazzled and had to stop to collect their spiritual seeds, or cut down high-level spiritual trees to store them for refining puppets and spiritual treasures. He had no time to choose a spiritual land.

For Li Mu, Cangyuan Secret Realm was simply the most suitable place for him. There were a large number of high-level spiritual plants and spiritual seeds of spiritual medicines for him to pick up.

What is this?

As his eyes swept across a lush forest, Li Mu's sight was attracted by a unique tree. It stood there quietly, as if isolated from the world, with a faint golden light emitting from its body, and small golden baby fruits condensed on its fingers.

Under the innate magical power of identifying all spirits, the properties of spiritual wood appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

[Yuan Shen Wood]

[Grade: Seventh-level Spirit Wood]

[Features: Yuan Shen condensed, Yuan Shen spiritual fruit, extraordinary spirituality, and the charm of concentration. 】

【Yuan Shen Wood, a seventh-level spiritual wood, 13,000 years old, absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and Yimu essence by itself, and transforms these spiritual energies into pure Yuan Shen power through its unique way. For cultivators who practice the way of Yuan Shen, Yuan Shen Wood and its Condensing Yuan Fruit are extremely precious and are the main materials for refining Gui Xu Dan. 】

It is actually the seventh-level Yuan Shen Wood, and it has so many Condensing Yuan Fruits!

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

Gui Xu Dan is an auxiliary spiritual pill for the promotion of Hua Shen to Lian Xu. In the future, it is necessary to refine seven Hua Shen clones. Therefore, refining Gui Xu Dan has become a plan that Li Mu must execute in his mind.

However, the three main medicinal materials required for Gui Xu Dan are all extremely rare: Jiuxu Lingcao, Ning Shen Yuan Fruit, and Tianmai Sui Ru, which are difficult to find.

Now that he has encountered Ning Shen Yuan Fruit, one of the three main spiritual materials has finally been solved. Li Mu took a deep breath, suppressed his joy, and began to look at this Yuan Shen Wood carefully.

It was lush and green, with a faint fragrance. The fruits of Concentration Spirit hanging on the branches were crystal clear, like gems, emitting an attractive luster.

This Yuanshen tree can pick at least thirty Concentration Spirit Fruits, enough for him to refine several furnaces of Return to Void Pills. Li Mu flew forward, took out the jade box, picked a Concentration Spirit Fruit and put it in the jade box, fearing that this precious spiritual material would be damaged.

After picking, Li Mu's eyes swept over the area where high-level spiritual plants grew. Refining Return to Void Pills not only requires the collection of three main materials, but also requires various rare auxiliary spiritual medicines. Special spiritual medicines that enhance the efficacy of Return to Void Pills may be found in this secret realm.

So, Li Mu continued to explore this secret realm.

With the help of his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, Li Mu reaped unprecedented rewards. He not only found the "Tianqing Lingteng", a spiritual medicine that can enhance the spiritual energy absorption effect of Guixu Pill; he also found the "Zixia Linghua", a flower that can improve the purity of Guixu Pill and reduce the interference of impurities during pill refining...

A few days later, Li Mu stopped at a vast spiritual land. He finally remembered his business, which was to open up a spiritual field in the Cangyuan Secret Realm for planting high-level spiritual plants.

Li Mu stood beside the vast spiritual land, pinched the spell with his hand, and performed the drying technique.

I saw a wave of fiery waves in Li Mu's palm. It was the power of the drying technique surging. It was as hot as the sun, baking the spiritual trees and grasses one by one until they dried up, and then disappeared into nothingness, turning into a wasteland.

Then, Li Mu instantly used the earth dragon technique, and it seemed that there was a giant dragon swimming in the spiritual field. It was an earth dragon condensed by spiritual power, churning and removing impurities in the soil bit by bit, leaving only pure and fertile spiritual soil. At this moment, the whole spiritual land experienced a rebirth and became more vibrant.

As time went by, the originally flourishing spiritual plants gradually disappeared under Li Mu's spells. The end of their lives turned into fertilizer for the spiritual fields, nourishing the land.

Li Mu pinched the sword formula in his hand, connected his mind with the spiritual sword, and engraved complex runes around the spiritual fields. The array patterns contained deep mysteries and power. Golden halos began to condense above the spiritual fields. They intertwined and merged with each other, and finally formed a huge composite array.

This composite array can not only gather the Yimu essence and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the secret realm, accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, but also will not affect the efficiency of the secret realm seal. At the same time, the user's psychedelic concealment effect can protect the safety of this large spiritual field.

After carving the array pattern of the large composite array, Li Mu took back the nine spiritual swords, and then embedded the top-grade spiritual stones in the eye of the large array to activate the array.

With the embedding of hundreds of top-grade spiritual stones, the magic array was activated instantly with a buzzing sound, as if it resonated with the energy between heaven and earth. The spiritual light spread from the center of the array, covering the entire spiritual field, and a large amount of wood essence and spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered quickly.

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, and then his consciousness probed into the imperial spiritual bracelet, and summoned the Green Jade Ginseng King with a thought.

The Green Jade Ginseng King turned into a short white-haired old man with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. He was about to bow to Li Mu, but suddenly felt the rich wood attribute energy in the surrounding environment. This energy had a fatal attraction to him, as if he had returned to his mother's arms, which made him stunned instantly.

"Master, where are we?" The Green Jade Ginseng King looked up at Li Mu, with a trembling and excitement in his voice.

Li Mu smiled slightly and replied: "This is the secret realm of the ultimate wood realm. For you, this should be the most suitable holy place for cultivation."

When the Green Jade Ginseng King heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He felt an unprecedented vitality and vigor in this spiritual land, as if his vitality was greatly nourished and replenished here. He took a deep breath, feeling the rich wood attribute energy in the air, and a look of satisfaction and intoxication appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Master!" The Green Jade Ginseng King looked at Li Mu gratefully. He knew that if it weren't for Li Mu, he would never have the opportunity to come to such a place to practice.

"You're welcome. Since you are my beast, I will try my best to provide you with the best training environment." Li Mu said lightly, then turned to look at the spiritual field and solemnly instructed: "Next, I will plant some high-level spiritual plants in this spiritual field. You can practice here and help me protect them. In addition, the seal here is extremely powerful. Don't go out casually. If you are not careful, you will die."

The Green Jade Ginseng King restrained the joy on his face, nodded solemnly and said: "Master, don't worry, I will practice with all my strength, and at the same time I will protect the high-level spiritual plants in this spiritual field and will never go out."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, took out the high-level spiritual seeds from the Jiuzang Lingzhu, and began to sow in this spiritual land. (End of this chapter)
