Instead of going home, it flew to the base of an ancient tree and settled down.

Choose to summon: Bai Ze.

A flash of black light appeared, and Bai Ze's somewhat weak body appeared beneath the trunk of the ancient tree.

Without Wu You's command, the ancient tree naturally sent out a gentle spirit that slowly enveloped Bai Ze.

A sense of comfort emanated from Bai Ze.

It seems that ancient trees do indeed possess the ability to heal psychological trauma.

After listening to scientific reports for most of the night and then conducting a Level 5 alchemy session, I was quite exhausted.

As he stretched, another gentle spiritual force enveloped Wu You, making him feel so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud.

It's like a master masseur gently massaging your whole body, slowly replenishing your mental energy.

Wu You was happy to let the ancient tree serve him, lying flat on his back and floating three or four meters above the ground, as if he were resting on an air mattress.

Opening my eyes to look at the sky, the brilliant starlight of the night shines through the shadowy branches of the ancient trees, making the scene even more intertwined with the interplay of stars and shadows.

The ancient tree remains majestic and grand. Even though the wind and light cannot touch its body due to the interference of the real and the virtual, its branches and leaves still sway gently.

The air quality around Qiantang is getting better and better. According to previous news reports, the oxygen content and negative ion content in Qiantang are much higher than in other places, and the credit is all attributed to Qiantang's vigorous greening and environmental protection efforts in recent years.

This city is hailed as a model of the achievements China has made in prioritizing environmental protection.

Beyond the instrument detection, Wu You could also sense that the special energy emanating from the ancient natural tree was slowly increasing in concentration, with the concentration decreasing outwards from Shi Niu Mountain as the center. Wu You had not investigated in detail how far it had spread.

I had never noticed before, but under the ancient natural tree, it had become so visible that it was almost impossible to see without concentrating. On a whim, I sensed it and made a point of observing it.

Wow, it's incredibly thick!

When I find myself consciously observing, the surrounding air takes on different colors as I concentrate, creating a dreamlike effect at night.

A faint bluish-green energy substance swirled around like mist, permeating the entire Shiniu Mountain and even beyond in the distance.

I remember that the ancient tree of nature referred to this as evolutionary energy.

At first, Wu You thought this thing was what promoted biological evolution, and that by slowly absorbing it, he could gradually influence living organisms. But he later realized he was wrong.

Because this substance is not absorbed by any living organism, whether through respiration or skin contact, at least on the surface.

When you wave your hand, you can't feel anything at all; it passes right through your hand, as if this energy substance, like the ancient tree in nature, has the ability to penetrate both the real and the illusory.

"Ancient tree, what is the purpose of this substance you are releasing?"

Wu You asked the Ancient Natural Tree a question, but the Ancient Natural Tree's response was rather strange. It said that, just like plants release oxygen through photosynthesis, it simply instinctively knew that this substance would be beneficial and, after reaching the Gold Rank, it comprehended the ability to produce and release this substance.

This was the first time Wu You had encountered a high-level being who did not have a deep understanding of his own abilities. Could it be that when he created the ancient natural tree, he had envisioned something mysterious and strange?

Just like the idiocy of Saraso, it might actually be a product of one's subconscious. It couldn't develop when it was still a mountain tree, but after entering the gold rank, it directly gave rise to new abilities.

Despite being able to see it but not touch it, and finding nothing particularly special about it, Wu You knew that this thing must be beneficial, but he didn't know its function yet. After all, the characteristics of the ancient tree determined its protective significance for living things.

Normally, it wouldn't be noticeable if you didn't pay attention, but now that I'm paying attention, seeing such a thick patch, I instinctively want to fan it away with my hand, even though I know it will definitely pass right through my hand, and the wind and my hand won't be able to reach it.

Unexpectedly, it actually "fanned" open a small patch of so-called evolutionary energy.

Um? !

Wu You immediately slapped his hand twice more, but it returned to the previous state, as the energy-like substances passed right through his hand.

Holy crap! What's going on?!

“My lord, perhaps you should control them in a state of unconsciousness.”

Bai Ze, who had been enjoying the scene with his eyes half-closed, suddenly spoke up, having also witnessed it.

"An unconscious state, but if it's unconscious, how can it be controlled?"

"Your Majesty can be understood as a state of emptiness, a state of clearing the mind in order to approach that subconscious reaction just now."

After listening, Wu You immediately understood what to do. He wanted to control himself but couldn't have a deep obsession with it; it was probably similar to the Taoist practice of entering a state of tranquility.

After closing his eyes and remaining still for about ten seconds, Wu You found his rhythm and slowly opened his eyes.

He spun his finger in the air and was surprised to find that the substances slowly followed the movement of his finger, forming a small, swirling vortex.

"Hey, that's interesting."

Wu You said something to Bai Ze and increased the frequency of his finger rotations.

The vortex formed by the pale green substance spun larger and larger, but that was all; apart from being visible, the vortex had no effect on any matter.

After playing for a while, Wu You quickly got bored, stopped what he was doing, and closed his eyes to rest.

I won't go home to sleep tonight. It'll be dawn in a few hours. I'll just stay here for the night. My body and mind gradually relax, and I soon fall asleep.

...

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone through the surrounding mountains onto Wu You's face, he naturally woke up.

Bai Ze has returned to his usual demeanor and is probably browsing various online materials or analyzing the task he gave it.

After taking a moment to assess my own condition, I found myself to be exceptionally energetic and full of vitality. It seems that the spiritual healing provided by the natural ancient tree is truly remarkable.

With a focused mind, the dense energy substance beneath the ancient tree immediately came into view, giving Bai Ze an extra task of studying this energy substance, while Wu You went straight home.

My mom, Zhang Guihua, had already prepared breakfast: the same old white porridge and side dishes.

Wu You showed his face briefly, finished half a pot of congee, then ran into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into dry clothes, said goodbye, and left again.

...

With a flash of black light, Wu You appeared in the Tianyun Mountains of the Eastern Realm.

In the plaza of the villa of the Beast Manor, a demon and a vampire were sparring, but their fighting style was completely different from their usual fighting style, instead resembling a martial arts movie.
