The Path to Immortality

The fruit was no more than the size of a walnut and was slightly light blue in color, with traces of innate achievements hidden on its surface. Against the background of lush foliage and green glow, it is easy to be overlooked.

But in Qu Xiangyuan's eyes, it was a treasure far more valuable than the Five Yun Lotus.

"Tier 2 Bodhi Tree!"

He murmured excitedly, telling the origin of this spiritual plant.

The Bodhi tree is very famous in Yunzhou. It is a rare spiritual plant that has been handed down from ancient times. The Bodhi seeds grown on the tree, when swallowed, can permanently enhance a monk's understanding. From then on, whether you understand the Kung Fu, Taoism, or practice the immortal arts, it can be of great help, and it is a real treasure of heaven and earth.

But with the passage of time, the decline of the aura of heaven and earth, and the evolution of the environment, the bodhi tree has become increasingly rare in the past ten thousand years.

Nowadays, in the land of Yunzhou, only some caves and ruins of ancient monks can be found occasionally.

As one of the true successors and candidates of the Phantom Demon Sect, Qu Xiangyuan's understanding is certainly not bad. Ordinary martial arts and Taoist techniques can be easily mastered by just meditating on them for a moment.

But compared with several other geniuses who were also true successors, Qu Xiangyuan felt that he had no advantage at all.

But if he could get the bodhi seeds produced by this second-level bodhi tree, that would be different. It would be enough to bring his understanding to a higher level, thus helping him compete with other demon candidates!

Nothing is more wonderful than this: for a small family like the Song family, the Five Yun Lotus that can help the family give birth to a new golden elixir is undoubtedly more valuable than the Bodhi Seed. But to Qu Xiangyuan, the value of Bodhi Seed is far higher than that of Five Yun Lotus.

Looking at the slightly green bodhi seed on the tree, he couldn't help but sigh: "Song Shuisheng, the ancestor of your Song family back then, had to be said to have some good luck and some far-sightedness. . It is rare to be able to plant Wuyun Lotus and get a second-level Bodhi tree. Unfortunately, the Song family is still too small after all, which will hinder him. Soar into the sky and become a Nascent Soul!"

Listening to what Qu Xiangyuan said, Song Ping'an's face felt a little proud, but also a little sad.

After a while, he regained his composure and begged: "This Bodhi seed is an unparalleled treasure of heaven and earth. It takes two hundred years to produce a single fruit. It should be obtained by Qu Zhen. But since the Five Yun Lotus Qu Zhenzhen is useless, I wonder if it can be considered for the sake of my Song family’s diligent service..."

Before Song Ping'an finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qu Xiangyuan of course: "Master Song, what nonsense are you talking about? Treasures from heaven and earth belong to those who are virtuous. My virtue is rarely worthy of this." Are these two treasures? The Bodhisattva belongs to me, and so does the Five Yun Lotus!"

Although he had no shortage of it, it was still a priceless main material for Jinjin Dan. He would only keep it to the Song family if he had a headache.

These merciless words completely eliminated the last trace of luck in Song Pingan's heart. Even his expression couldn't be maintained, and his heart was filled with despair.

Qu Xiangyuan didn't care at all about the thoughts of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. If it weren't for the fact that the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance was now employing people, he would have crushed him to death with one hand.

He only focused on admiring the treasures in the secret realm, and said: "The Five Yun Lotus can be fully matured in half a day or in one day. This Bodhi Seed can..."

Looking at that light blue color, Qu Xiangyuan's face showed some embarrassment.

Fully ripe Bodhi seeds are gray in color. The Bodhi seed in front of me will have to grow for at least another twenty years before it is fully mature.

Although it is not impossible to take it now, it is just that the effect is less, but if possible, Qu Xiangyuan would definitely still hope to take the mature second-level Bodhi seed.

"Fortunately, I was well prepared when I came!"

He turned slightly and looked at the old man behind him.

Although this old man's cultivation level is only at the early stage of foundation building and his combat power is not worth mentioning, he is a second-level spiritual cultivator specially brought by Qu Xiangyuan from the Phantom Demon Sect.

It’s enough to completely transplant this second-level Bodhi tree!

"Mr. Zhou, please do it. The second-level bodhi tree is rare, so be careful."

After receiving Qu Xiangyuan's instructions, the old man bowed his hands, then walked forward silently, and began to use his spiritual consciousness to explore the root system of the bodhi tree and the direction of the earth's energy below, preparing to make preparations for transplantation.

"Qu Zhen Chuan, you must not do it! Please leave a way for my Song family to survive! This Bodhi Fruit will not mature for more than twenty years at most. Our Song family will definitely take good care of Qu Zhen Chuan. You can come at any time by then …”

Seeing Mr. Zhou's actions, Song Ping'an finally understood that Qu Xiangyuan was cruel and wanted to take away the Bodhi fruit and Bodhi tree together. I just felt like a thunderbolt from the clear sky struck me on the forehead, and I was stunned.

If the other party just takes away the Bodhi Seed, that's fine. The worst is to wait another two hundred years. For a Jindan family, two hundred years is a long time, but it is not impossible to wait.

But if this extremely rare second-level spiritual plant is taken away entirely, then the Song family will really have no hope!

Looking at Song Ping'an who was pleading, Qu Xiangyuan only had amusement and impatience on his face.

He sarcastically said: "Master Song, since you have chosen to surrender, you should have thought that this day would come? You don't really think that our Ten Thousand Demons Alliance is so easy to fool. We only need to say a few words of loyalty and hand over some benefits regularly. , we will let you surrender and save your family business, right? If we are so kind-hearted, how can we be different from those sanctimonious Immortal Alliance monks?"

You are already the head of the Jindan family, how can you still be so naive?

As for waiting 20 years to pick them again...if Yuan Ji Zhenren didn't come back, he might be able to wait. But the current situation is hard to say, and Qu Xiangyuan dare not gamble, so he can only make the worst plan first!

Qu Xiangyuan's determination made the head of the Song family look ashen and silent.

He finally realized how naive and lucky his previous thoughts were, and there was only one sentence left in his heart: This is the end of betrayal!

"Head, something bad is going to happen!"

At this moment, the hurried voice of the Song family elder came from outside.

Song Ping'an was smart and finally came to his senses. He quickly came to the outside of the secret realm, pretending to be calm and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

Seeing that the head of the family was still calm, the old man of the Song family calmed down and said, "Xuanxing Mine has just activated two [Lingxi Talismans], and it is suspected that they have been attacked by robbers, and they urgently need help!"

What?

Xuanxing Mine was attacked?

Song Ping'an's face looked grim, but he had heard too many bad news today, and his nerves were a little numb, so his mentality was surprisingly not affected.

He thought for a while and said: "Showing up at this time may not be a robbery cultivator, maybe it could be an immortal..."

Worried about Qu Xiangyuan in the medicine garden, he shut up in time and did not say the subsequent speculation.

The elder of the Song family had the same speculation and said: "Unfortunately, the Lingxi Talisman cannot directly transmit information. It can only judge the urgency of the situation based on the number of activations."

According to the rules of the Song family, activating one talisman at the same time means that the danger is not great and no rescue is needed; activating two talismans at the same time means that rescue is needed, but the enemy is still within the range that the Song family can handle; activating three talismans at the same time means that the situation is critical and difficult to save...
