Chapter 2244: Nine Thunder Bamboo, Transplanting Golden Magnetic Spirit Tree

The Five-Element Spirit Suppressing Scripture is a Five-Element cultivation technique, most suitable for clan members with five spiritual roots. It was also Resident Qingmei’s primary cultivation method. According to ancient texts, this scripture originated from the dojo of Heavenly Venerable Xuanling.

Upon seeing this cultivation technique, Wang Changsheng thought of Wang Yingjie. Wang Yingjie, a descendant of Wang Qingling, was diligent in cultivation and courageous in battle. While his divine abilities weren't exceptionally powerful, his unwavering dao heart greatly impressed Wang Changsheng, who admired him. Unfortunately, Wang Yingjie was in the lower realm. If he were in Xuanyang Realm with sufficient cultivation resources, it would be relatively easier for him to advance to the Void Refinement stage. According to Wang Qingshan's account, even if Wang Yingjie were to reach the Soul Transformation stage, his lifespan would be limited, making it impossible to cultivate to the late Soul Transformation stage. This left only one path: clandestine passage, a journey with nine deaths for every survival. Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, and Wang Mengbin all ascended. In comparison, Wang Qingshan’s journey was more arduous. Wang Yingjie, being in the Ice Sea Realm without powerful defensive treasures, had an extremely low chance of successfully making the clandestine passage.

The Li Fire True Scripture was a fire-attributed cultivation technique that came with significant divine abilities.

In addition to these two cultivation techniques, there were also dozens of jin of Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Liquid. Wang Changsheng opened a gleaming golden jade box, revealing a small handful of golden fine sand within.

"Golden Ridge Divine Sand!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise. This was one of the materials used to condense Dharma Idols. It appeared Resident Qingmei had prepared it for himself, but unfortunately, he had perished before being able to use it. Wang Changsheng had no use for the Golden Ridge Divine Sand, but he could exchange it with other Void Refinement cultivators.

Resident Qingmei possessed a fourth-rank wood demon, and one of the jade slips detailed its cultivation method. With this guidance, Wang Changsheng would find it easier to cultivate wood demons in the future. There were also several gleaming formation plates, which were used to control the restrictions of this area.

He collected the items from the ground, then bowed sincerely to Resident Qingmei's remains. "When my power allows," he solemnly declared, "I will avenge your Thousand Wood Sect. I dare not claim to annihilate the Golden Roc Clan, but I will do my best to reclaim the Myriad Spirit Bottle and ensure this treasure returns to the hands of our human race." After speaking, Wang Changsheng threw a few fireballs, incinerating the remains.

Arriving at the final stone chamber, Wang Changsheng shattered the door with a punch, and a surge of pure spiritual energy gushed out. Inside the chamber was a bamboo stalk over ten zhang tall, its surface covered in nine-colored electric arcs, emanating a wild aura.

"Nine-Thunder Bamboo!" A flicker of surprise appeared in Wang Changsheng's eyes. When he first entered the Profound Spirit Grotto-heaven, Chen Yueying had instructed him to search for a 70,000-year-old Nine-Thunder Bamboo. The Nine-Thunder Bamboo was one of Xuanyang Realm's top ten spiritual bamboos, used to refine treasures for transcending tribulations. The Demon-Slaying Arrow in Wang Changsheng's possession was forged from Nine-Thunder Bamboo. This particular Nine-Thunder Bamboo was over 30,000 years old, making it perfectly suitable for refining a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Wang Changsheng released his wood demon and conjured the Myriad Grass Bottle, intending to transplant this Nine-Thunder Bamboo back to Green Lotus Island.

Outside the Thousand Grass Hall, Liu Tianxiao was urging his Dharma Idol to attack the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood. Transplanting the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood was extremely difficult. Since that was the case, he decided to destroy it and use it as forging material. These Golden Magnetic Spirit Woods had grown for tens of thousands of years and possessed strong magnetic properties. However, Liu Tianxiao, using his Dharma Idol, still managed to destroy several stalks.

After he had destroyed six stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, Wang Changsheng emerged. "These ten stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood are mine. I trust Fellow Daoist Liu has no objections!" Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice. Transplanting the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood was not easy; even with the Myriad Grass Bottle, it might not be effective. He would need to ask Bai Yuqi to make a trip.

Liu Tianxiao initially wanted to suggest distribution based on ability, but recalling Wang Changsheng's strength, he nodded, signaling his agreement. Having reached an agreement, they each took out their communication plates and contacted their kin.

"Qingshan, have Mengbin go back and invite Yuqi here. Tell her we need to transplant Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood that's tens of thousands of years old," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Yes, Ninth Uncle."

Liu Tianxiao also sent his clansmen back to fetch a fifth-tier formation master to transplant the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, is this the spiritual herb garden left behind by the Thousand Wood Sect?" Liu Tianxiao looked at Wang Changsheng and asked curiously.

"I'm not sure," Wang Changsheng flatly denied. "I haven't seen anything to prove its identity."

Liu Tianxiao scoffed lightly. He knew Wang Changsheng was unwilling to tell the truth, and there was nothing he could do about it.

In less than half a day, Bai Yuqi arrived. Wang Changsheng used the formation plate to remove the restrictions, and Bai Yuqi and the others flew over. Wu Ya, upon seeing the more than ten stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, felt a strong sense of regret. The incident occurred suddenly; the Song family had only informed him of a spiritual herb garden, without mentioning any restrictions. Wu Ya had originally thought that with his Void Refinement stage cultivation, he could break through the restrictions and take all the spiritual herbs before Wang Changsheng arrived, which was why he hadn't reported it to the Liu family. Had he known about the gravity restriction, he would have reported it to the Liu family no matter what.

Song Yunhui was also helpless. They had just broken through the outer restrictions when Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin arrived. They had no extra time to investigate, so they hastily reported to the Wu family. If Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin had arrived a little later, the outcome would have been different.

After Bai Yuqi arrived, she set up a grand formation and proceeded to transplant the ten stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood. However, Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood was no ordinary spiritual wood. Even with the Myriad Grass Bottle and a fifth-tier formation, the transplantation process still damaged the roots. Since Wang Changsheng had obtained the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Liquid and the clan possessed Creation Divine Water, he wasn't overly concerned. By the time Bai Yuqi had transplanted the ten stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, the Liu family members had also arrived, demonstrating the advantage of proximity.

"Fellow Daoist Wu," Wang Changsheng warned, "elders should act like elders. I don't care how the juniors fight among themselves, and I won't intervene if they lose. But if you ever target a junior of my Wang family again, I will kill you." After warning Wu Ya, Wang Changsheng summoned the Azure Luan Boat and departed with his clan members.

From the spiritual herb garden, Liu Tianxiao obtained a few Green Pear Fruits and ten stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, so his trip was not entirely in vain. However, the thought of Wang Changsheng gaining more infuriated Liu Tianxiao. He then mobilized his forces to search the deserted islands spanning tens of millions of miles, inevitably encountering high-tier demonic beasts and suffering significant casualties. But that is a story for later.

Upon returning to Green Lotus Island, Wang Changsheng instructed Bai Yuqi to transplant the ten stalks of Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood there, gave her over ten jin of Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Liquid, and summoned Wang Qingcheng.

"Qingcheng, immediately send people to spread the word that the Liu family discovered the Thousand Wood Sect's spiritual herb garden and obtained multiple ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Of course, also mention that we obtained ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Do you understand what I mean?" Wang Changsheng instructed. Liu Tianxiao had no idea what he had acquired, but out of caution, Wang Changsheng wanted to muddy the waters.

Wang Qingcheng nodded. "This child understands. We'll muddy the waters, mixing truth and falsehood, making it hard to distinguish. What's true will appear false, and what's false will appear true."

"Good that you understand. Go and handle it! Oh, and young friend Sun performed meritorious service this time; reward him well. Here are two sets of cultivation techniques and some cultivation texts; place them in the family treasury!" Wang Changsheng urged, taking out dozens of jade slips and handing them to Wang Qingcheng.

"Yes, Father." Wang Qingcheng acknowledged, then turned and left.
