Chapter 1705: The Essence of the Vine
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The Chaos Millstone looked at the spirit curse that the Mother of Vines released the way one would look at delicious food, its whole body trembling with excitement.
The Chaos Millstone shot out black and white lights forming an S shaped Taichi pattern flying forward.
The Chaos Millstone was like a tiger coming down the mountain, opening its sharp mouth and suddenly swallowing the cursed snake and the green vine with a flash of black and white light.
The cursed snake and the green vine that were powerful a minute ago became startled bunnies, trying to escape. However, they were not as fast as the black and white lights and were eaten up.
The Chaos Millstone was shaken with excitement after eating the cursed snake.
The misty light on its body became shinier and brighter. Its body then turned to a streak of light, a black and white pillar of light, rushing towards the Mother of Vines.
The Mother of Vines was shocked, she did not expect the spirit cursing skill that she got from the Immortals Cave to be broken by the Chaos Millstone so easily.
“I didn’t know that this black and white millstone was a supreme treasure from the depths of chaos,” The Mother of Vines shouted out those words while turning around, trying to escape. She had lost all arrogance and pride.
The Chaos Millstone would not let the Mother of Vines go because it discovered a spirit seed deep inside of her. That spirit seed was the one she had gotten from the Immortals Cave.
The Chaos Millstone moved quickly and suddenly blocked the Mother of Vines’ escape route. Then, the black and white lights turned into two streaks of lightning and pierced through the Mother of Vines’s body.
The Mother of Vines screamed miserably as a phantom of a humanoid green plant flew out from her head, seeking to escape, but the Chaos Millstone shot out a streak of S shaped light and turned it to ashes.
Deep inside of the Mother of Vines’ body, there was a green seed. It wasn’t a big seed, only about the size of an egg. However, it was emitting an immortal aura. This was a spirit seed formed by an immortal after he died in a seated posture. Hence, it contained a hint of an immortal’s spirit.
Qingfeng Li was flooded with excitement. He knew how powerful this spirit seed was. If he could extract energy from it, his spirit energy could improve drastically.
Qingfeng Li quickly rushed towards the white spirit seed like a streak of lightning and tried to grab it in his hand.
But the Chaos Millstone was even faster. It shined out a pillar of white light and sucked the white spirit seed deep into its millstone.
Qingfeng Li’s demeanor shifted, “Chaos Millstone, you already absorbed the spirit energy of the Mother of Vines. Leave something good for me.”
Chaos Millstone did not respond but burst out an excited scream. It turned to a streak of light and entered the brain palace of Qingfeng Li’s mind. It found a quiet place and began to refine the immortal’s spirit seed.
Qingfeng Li boiled in anger. He thought that he would get something at least, but in the end, nothing.
Although, after some consideration, he realized that he did receive something good after all, which was the fact that the Chaos Millstone killed the Mother of Vines and solved a big problem for him.
Qingfeng Li suddenly grew serious because in the spot where the Mother of Vines had died, he found a tiny green plant.
The green plant was not big. It was only as big as a palm and as thick is two chopsticks. It radiated sparkling and translucent light. The white light pillar that the Chaos Millstone shot did not kill it. It was something special.
Chaos Millstone took away the immortal level energy seed from the Mother of Vines but did not notice its essence.
Certainly, to the Chaos Millstone, the Mother of Vines was only a fifth level supreme realm botanic demon, and the essence was only her physical energy. It wasn’t very useful for its spirit energy and therefore it had not been consumed.
Qingfeng Li curled up his lips with a hint of laughter. “I will reap some rewards after all.”
Qingfeng Li practiced and improved his physical strength but sometimes he could still get hurt.
Healing power was the most important to the wood element energy. Once he absorbed the wood element plant at this level, Qingfeng Li would be able to heal himself.
Qingfeng Li held the life essence of the Mother of Vines in his hands and started to refine it using the Heavenly Immortal Spell.
Shortly after, the green life essence of the Mother of Vines had been refined and became a spark of green light. It then entered his skin, pores, muscles, bones and blood.
Qingfeng Li could sense the extra mysterious energy added to his body, which was different than his physical energy and spirit energy. It was full of life like the Water of Life from the God of Life.
Qingfeng Li took out his Fire Emperor Sword and cut a small gash on his skin. Blood came out of the wound but within a second, the green energy in Qingfeng Li’s body gathered towards the wound and healed it completely.
Qingfeng Li took a deep breath and felt refreshed. He searched the underground a final time but found nothing. Then, he turned into a streak of flashing light and rushed towards the surface.
“Peng!”
Qingfeng Li’s body crashed through the sand on the ground and burst upward from a thousand meters below ground.
Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the second prince, Li Yang, and the other black hooded men were delighted seeing Qingfeng Li. They hurried to come forth and meet with him.
They were fighting with those green vines when suddenly, those vines wilted away in pieces and disappeared completely.
They wondered what had happened and looked for Qingfeng Li everywhere but did not see him. They did not expect to see him coming out from underground.
The second prince asked, “Qingfeng Li, where’s the Mother of Vines?”
Qingfeng Li smiled softly and said, “No need to worry, I killed the Mother of Vines and now we can take off to search for the monarch soul fruit.”
Having heard of the Mother of Vines’s death, the second prince’s face lit up. He was the second prince of the country of Lingyun, and therefore, he was aware of how powerful the Mother of Vines was in the Crimson Fire Desert, for she had killed many beasts and human self-cultivators.
Even the emperor of the country of Lingyun might not be able to defeat the Mother of Vines, yet Qingfeng Li had killed her. He was indeed a mysterious guy.
Qingfeng Li let the desert giant lead, and everyone followed him, marching towards the center of the desert.
After a while, Qingfeng Li’s face turned serious, as he had spotted an old acquaintance. It was the third princess.
Qingfeng Li could feel clearly that it was the real the third princess rather than the illusion and mirage that was created by the Mother of Vines.
