Chapter 402
Immortal Platanus took out a box and said indignantly, “Sacred Sect is out of control. I learned that they will attack my sect soon, and they come for the Heavenly Thunder Wood that passed down from generation to generation in our sect.”
Xiao Jinting got excited at the mention of Heavenly Thunder Wood, which was one of the three divine trees.
He had experienced the advantages of Immortal Wood. When refining pills to treat injuries, one or two leaves of Immortal Wood would multiply the effect of the pills by ten times.
Xiao Jinting’s eyes turned red. If he could get the wood and refine a set of Heavenly Thunder Swords, he would make a huge fortune.
Xiao Jinting finally understood why the monk and the nun would come here. They were at the advanced level of Nascent Souls, and the task of dealing with Sacred Sect was far beneath their capabilities. He knew that they were targeting at Heavenly Thunder Wood.
Immortal Platanus took out a box and opened it so everyone could take a look.
Xiao Jinting’s heart was racing. The Heavenly Thunder Wood had a light silver color. Heavenly Thunder Wood was blue under three thousand years, silver between three thousand and ten thousand years, and gold above ten thousand years.
The piece that Platanus took out was silver, and it was part of a root. Xiao Jinting could feel some life from the broken wood. He was sure he could easily bring this wood to life. The piece of Heavenly Thunder Wood was under ten thousand years, but it was over three thousand years, so it was valuable.
…
“Heavenly Thunder Wood has been extinct for many years. I didn’t expect that Platanus Sect has such a complete piece of it. If it is refined into a sword, it will definitely be the nemesis of the demonic sects,” Master Heavenly Lantern sighed in admiration.
A hint of eagerness flashed across the eyes of Hermit Emei.
Xiao Jinting secretly rolled his eyes and thought, “Who says that monks and nuns don’t care about worldly things. As long as they are human beings, they have desires.”
“Sacred Sect launches the attack because of this?” asked Hermit Emei.
Platanus sighed and said, “Yeah!”
He felt sad. The piece of Heavenly Thunder Wood was the secret of the sect. Somehow, it had been spread out. Now not only Sacred Sect but also the Great Buddha Temple and Snow Mountain Sect were interested in it.
“Our sect is in danger. The cultivator who can help our sect survive the attack will be rewarded with the piece of Heavenly Thunder Wood,” Platanus said sadly.
Xiao Jinting rubbed his forehead. Immortal Platanus was only a preliminary Nascent Soul, so he would give away the precious wood to save his sect. However, it was cunning of him to stir a fight between the three cultivators who came to help him. He didn’t blame him, as no one would be willing to give away such a precious treasure.
Xiao Jinting glanced at Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei, who looked unruffled, but he sensed the hostility between the two of them.
They had forgotten about Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting sighed in his heart, thinking, “My cultivation level is lower, and these two old loners treat me like dirt.”
“Heaven cares for every living thing. I take the business of Platanus Sect as my own business. Even if you don’t take out the Heavenly Thunder Wood, I’ll do my best.”
Xiao Jinting rubbed his nose and said inwardly, “This monk is quite good at pretending. If he hadn’t coveted the heavenly thunder, he wouldn’t have come.”
Hermit Emei snorted softly. She didn’t want to be outshined, so she said, “Sacred Sect acts against the heaven and does evil things. We cultivators should kill the people from Sacred Sect when we meet them.”
Master Heavenly Lantern looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Mr. Xiao, what do you think?”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “You are my seniors. I won’t have any objections. I’ll follow your instruction.”
The monk and the nun nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Jinting looked at their faces and felt complicated. He had painstakingly advanced to Nascent Soul, but he was despised.
