It was only after a long time that I realized what stupid things I had said.
Jian Yan's expression changed drastically in an instant.
He cursed himself inwardly for being so incredibly foolish.
At this moment, Xu Wan did not tell him that she was actually a woman!
Imagine if he said those things to her at that moment, how would she feel?
I'm afraid the other person already has a terrible impression of him!
They might even have begun to suspect that he actually has homosexual tendencies!
He quickly caught up with Su Yang.
He walked alongside.
But Jianyan couldn't utter a single word.
Fortunately, Su Yang was understanding and looked straight ahead without glancing at him. He said softly, "I've heard that there's a spiritual tree in this inner courtyard. I'd like to go and see it."
Su Yang spoke very casually.
But when Jian Yan heard this, he was taken aback, and then overjoyed.
He quickly replied, "Okay! I'll take you there!"
Jian Yan's eyes were filled with excitement. He understood that Xu Wan didn't actually want to see the spirit wood; she just wanted to ease the tension between them.
This shows that, at this moment, he is not so bad in the other person's eyes that they would not want to talk to him.
But in reality, Su Yang just wanted to see the Azure Spirit Tree.
Having already possessed two spiritual objects, he would naturally be very keen on gathering the five elements' origins.
Su Yang glanced at Jian Yan's eyes, which seemed to have cleared up from being cloudy, and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't explain.
Then he followed Jianyan to the most important place in the entire Great Xia Academy.
That is, the place where the Azure Spirit Tree resides.
The Azure Spirit Tree is ranked thirty-first on the list of wondrous objects of heaven and earth, in the chapter on spirit trees.
Its appearance resembles a locust tree, with lush branches and leaves, and it can continuously generate azure spiritual energy, which can absorb and catalyze the true essence of martial artists.
If we only consider its effect on improving a martial artist's cultivation, even the Earth Flame Fire enhanced by the True Dragon's Supreme Yang Dragon Qi is far inferior.
It didn't take long for Su Yang to arrive at a valley under Jian Yan's guidance.
Looking down from both sides of the valley, in a small basin, there was indeed a large, lush, and verdant tree.
Even without getting close, just observing from a distance, Su Yang could still feel the strange power emanating from the tree.
It was the unique azure spirit of that azure locust tree.
He glanced at Jianyan beside him; even though he didn't speak, his meaning was clear.
Jian Yan smiled and then led Su Yang into the valley.
The closer you get to the Azure Spirit Tree, the more concentrated the strange energy in the air becomes.
Su Yang could even see figures sitting cross-legged from time to time.
And those figures were none other than the prodigies on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.
Sensing movement, many people opened their eyes and looked at the person who had come.
Upon seeing that it was Su Yang, Ju Du was startled.
They all remembered everything that happened on the day the list was drawn.
Among them, Xia Wudao, Xia Wunian's younger brother, had the most complex emotions.
As Su Yang slowly approached, Xia Wudao ultimately said nothing.
Although the other party killed his brother, the matter has already been decided by the king, and it is not up to him to object.
Moreover, it's not worth holding a grudge against a future emperor just because of an older brother.
Having witnessed the world-destroying battle last night, my understanding of the emperor has deepened, and so has my fear.
Rather than offending the Carefree King and Su Yang, it's better to pretend nothing happened.
Since Xia Wunian is already dead, what's the point of worrying about revenge?
Those who are alive must always look forward.
Su Yang also saw Xia Wudao, but he had no idea what Xia Wudao was thinking.
Seeing that the other party only glanced at him before returning to cultivation, Su Yang naturally wouldn't bother to cause trouble for him.
He's not the main character, so people don't like to bother him, and naturally he doesn't like to bother others either.
He walked past Xia Wudao and headed straight for the Azure Spirit Tree.
Jian Yan, who was standing beside him, wanted to say something, but he chose to remain silent for the moment.
The closer Su Yang got to the Azure Spirit Tree, the more the azure spiritual energy made him feel as if his whole body was transparent.
Even the true essence within the body is slowly increasing.
It should be noted that he is not actively absorbing this azure spiritual energy yet, but rather passively absorbing it.
Even so, it can enhance one's cultivation. If one were to do it voluntarily, or even subdue it directly, what would happen? Su Yang could hardly imagine.
Surprised, he looked at the Azure Spirit Tree and grew to like it more and more.
To say that one does not want to possess a treasure is utter hypocrisy.
However, since unclaimed spirit objects cannot activate their panel entries, if one tries to subdue them through normal means, they might explode and die due to mutual repulsion between spirit objects once they are absorbed into one's body.
At that time, it truly meant that he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and everything came to nothing.
I'll suppress this thought and decide based on the situation in the future.
Su Yang closed his eyes and then circulated his cultivation technique, actively absorbing the azure spiritual energy scattered by the Azure Spirit Tree.
Standing before the large tree, as the cultivation technique was activated, visible cyan energy began to converge towards Su Yang.
Seeing that Su Yang had actually started cultivating, Jian Yan's expression was complicated, but he still didn't say anything.
As the Azure Spirit Qi flowed into his body, Su Yang could feel his true essence beginning to stir within an instant.
It seemed to be craving to devour that blue energy.
Without suppression, it directly mobilizes true essence to absorb it.
Afterwards, feeling the significantly stronger true essence, Su Yang was quite satisfied.
He rarely cultivates on his own because it's too slow. In fact, his talent isn't that great; it's just passable.
Without the stat boosts from the panel, he might not have broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm at this point.
But there are no "what ifs".
Experiencing the joy of cultivation for the first time, Su Yang became somewhat engrossed in it.
They then intensified their efforts.
But as the amount of azure spiritual energy in his body increased, Su Yang's heart fire suddenly blazed brightly!
Wood generates fire. When the wood energy in Su Yang's body exceeds a certain threshold, it instantly ignites the earth fire within him.
The spiritual fire erupted, attempting to surge towards the azure spiritual energy. If Su Yang hadn't controlled it, it would likely have already left his body and burned directly towards the great tree!
However, since Su Yang controls the spiritual fire within her body, there is no major problem.
But the Azure Spirit Tree seemed to have sensed the spiritual fire energy within Su Yang's body as well, and it instantly began to surge violently!
The towering tree trembled, scattering countless wisps of azure energy!
Not only that, as the tree shook, a flurry of fallen leaves gathered and then rushed straight towards Su Yang!
As soon as the earth's flames began to flare, Su Yang withdrew from his cultivation state.
Naturally, it seemed that the Azure Spirit Tree sensed the threat of the spiritual fire within him and began to launch a counterattack, which Su Yang had naturally anticipated.
But just as he was about to casually deflect the attack...
Unexpectedly, a noise came from behind.
At the same time, a male voice rang in his ears.
"careful!"
