Chapter 411
At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Dongcheng Yang said with a sullen face, “I didn’t expect Jinting to snatch the Heavenly Thunder Wood from Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei.”
At first, Dongcheng Yang didn’t know what was special about Xiao Jinting’s mission. When he heard the names of Xiao Jinting’s two companions, Dongcheng Yang was surprised. He didn’t understand why the two advanced Nascent Souls would take on such an ordinary mission.
When he found that out, things were out of control. He had thought Xiao Jinting could get nothing when the two experienced Nascent Souls were around. To his surprise, Xiao Jinting managed to snatch the Heavenly Thunder Wood from an advanced Nascent Soul.
Sacred Sect attacked Platanus Sect because of the wood! Why did Xiao Jinting bring back a most coveted treasure?
Although Dongcheng Yang was anxious, he didn’t dare to scold Xiao Jinting.
Dongcheng Yang sighed, thinking, “After Xiao Jinting came back with the wood, he has been hiding in seclusion. I have to take up this difficult job of dealing with the people from Great Buddha Temple and Snow Mountain Sect.”
The Great Buddha Temple is a major sect, and the nuns from the Snow Mountain Sect were aggressive too. Compared to these two sects, the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was much weaker. Therefore, Dongcheng Yang was exhausted from dealing with them.
“Mr. Dongcheng, there are all kinds of rumors outside. Some say that the Heavenly Thunder Wood has been taken away by Sacred Sect. Some say that the wood was evenly divided between the Great Buddha Temple and the Snow Mountain Sect. Some even say Elder Xiao has taken the wood. I wonder which of them is real,” said Lin Xue’e worriedly with a frown.
Dongcheng Yang’s face darkened. He had some ulterior motives when he assigned Xiao Jinting the task. The Xiao family was getting more powerful, and he felt his position was threatened. Missions were usually dangerous, and he would dominate the sect if Xiao Jinting had an accident in the mission.
Dongcheng Yang was in a dilemma. Sometimes, he hoped that the Green Cloud Immortal Sect would become more influential with the help of Xiao Jinting, but sometimes, he hoped that Xiao Jinting died outside.
“Elder Xiao has gone too far. He hides away at such a critical time,” Lin Xue’e said sullenly.
Her words upset Dongcheng Yang. Xiao Jinting said that he needed to recuperate after being seriously injured. Therefore, Dongcheng Yang could not bring himself to ask a patient to deal with the guests.
“Elder Xiao is rumored to have killed a medium Nascent Soul,” said Lin Xue’e.
She didn’t believe it. Xiao Jinting was only a new Nascent Soul. How could he kill a medium Nascent Soul? If Dongcheng Yang encountered a medium Nascent Soul, he would be lucky to survive the fight.
“Jinting has incredible luck, and he is different from us.” Dongcheng Yang didn’t believe it at first, but after he investigated it, he was convinced.
Dongcheng Yang secretly clenched his fists. The cultivators worshipped the power. Now there were countless rumors outside, and Xiao Jinting was gaining more support than him in the sect.
…
Xu Muan entered Xiao Jinting’s jade space. The Immortal Wood grew very fast after Xiao Jinting brought it back to life. The leaves were green and lush, and there were two kinds of fruits, one black, and the other white.
The white fruits can strengthen the physique and refine the body. As for the black ones, they were for ghost cultivators. After people died, some of the souls stayed in the human world because of their obsession or other reasons. They continued to cultivate and became ghost cultivators.
Ghost Cultivators were natural killers. The rule of nature was fair. Once ghost cultivators died, they lost the right to reincarnate. Every time ghost cultivators advanced to a higher level, they had to go through thunder retribution several times stronger than ordinary cultivators, so very few ghost cultivators could survive the tribulation for Nascent Souls.
A Thunder Tree stood next to the Immortal Wood and grew up fast. Even though it was small, it had vague potentials to compete with the Immortal Wood.
“Immortal Wood is growing well,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yeah, I spent many spiritual stones on it. If it doesn’t grow well, my spiritual stones would be wasted.”
Although the old witch of Ice Palace left her mark on the treasures, he could make use of her spiritual stones, without which the spiritual herbs would not have grown so well.
“The fruits on the Immortal Wood are extraordinary,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, of course. The Life Fruits on the Immortal Wood can be refined into many kinds of pills that are good for Nascent Souls, but the fruits are not ripe yet.”
“How do you plan to deal with this Thunder Tree?” asked Xu Muan.
Xiao Jinting thought about it and said, “When it grows bigger, I’ll cut one piece off and give it to Senior Chen.”
Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “If I couldn’t ripen the Heavenly Thunder Wood, I would not have fought so hard to snatch the wood which is less than 10,000 years old.”
His ability made things much different. With the help of the jade space, he could ripen the wood to 10,000 years or even older. If he could refine a set of swords with Heavenly Thunder Wood of dozens of thousands of years, his strength would be brought up to a new level.
It was said that when Heavenly Thunder Wood grew to certain years, it would grow Heavenly Thunder Fruits, which was a great supplement for thunder cultivators. Lei Xuan would benefit from it.
