The two seeds rolled in the wooden bowl, but the two scaly monsters did not fall to the ground. They just looked a little weak.
After they spit out the spiritual root seeds, they crawled on the ground and held the wooden bowls above their heads. It seemed that they were going to offer the spiritual root seeds prostrating themselves.
The taller scale monster reached out and grabbed the two seeds, then ignored the two white-haired scale monsters.
It walked to the statue that was standing upside down on the top of the cave, making a hissing sound. It was unclear whether it was chanting some scale demon version of the spell or just barking randomly without any meaning.
However, changes happened soon. Jiang Li noticed that the mouth of the statue was slightly opened, and two spirit root seeds floated up and fell directly into the mouth of the statue.
A statue of a god, and it actually eats.
At the entrance of the spiritual root seed, the statue immediately glowed slightly.
Soon, a vine grew from the statue and hung down, stopping in front of the tall scaly monster. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, two cherry-sized fruits quickly grew out.
Jiang Li suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his spiritual root seeds could never grow. It turned out that he was using the wrong method.
After the tall scaly monster paid great respect, it stood up again and reached out to pick the fruit and put it into its mouth.
But at this moment, a red light suddenly appeared from the dim scaly monster cave, and the flying sword with a blazing rainbow arrived in an instant. In less than a blink of an eye, it had already flown in front of the scaly monster.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of turbid water curtain suddenly appeared and blocked the flying sword. The foundation-building scale demon roared and was about to order to kill the invading enemy!
Poof! However, the water curtain and the body of the foundation-building scale monster were instantly pierced by the burning rainbow, and did not provide even the slightest defensive effect.
After all, the Shushan sword cultivators are well-known figures in the Dachongshan area. Even if they are not the strongest among ordinary sword cultivators of the same level, they are definitely ranked in the first or second tier among the same level.
Especially in the art of attack, very few cultivators can match him.
When his flying sword appeared with a blazing rainbow, even the physical cultivators with a good family background in Cihang Temple had to consider whether they could withstand it.
It has no inheritance and does not understand any magic spells. It only has an incomplete method of practicing Qi, and it has barely become a foundation-building chicken by relying on the support of its own people.
If Jiang Li was not mistaken, the layer of water curtain it just formed was clearly a barrier forcibly condensed by turbid spiritual energy. Its defensive power was really better than nothing.
I guess any powerful disciple from the sect in the Qi Refining Stage can easily teach it to cook fish.
If Jiang Li's flying sword can still be blocked by it, then he should stop cultivating immortality. His best choice would be to find a branch facing southeast and hang himself, hoping for a good life in the next life.
After piercing the foundation-building scale monster with one sword, the flying sword Zhuhong did not stop, and the sword body emitted a red light, turning into an indistinct stream of light that swam at high speed in the cave, easily harvesting lives one by one!
The goal was basically achieved, and Jiang Li no longer needed to hide. He stood up straight and walked towards the statue not far away.
With every step he took, the flying sword would take the lives of more than a dozen scale monsters.
Some scaly monsters noticed Jiang Li, who stood out from the crowd, and started to pounce on him with roars.
But unfortunately, the speed of the red light was ten or a hundred times faster than theirs. It passed through the space in an instant, leaving behind a series of charred holes on the bodies of these scaly monsters.
When Jiang Li walked up to the Foundation Establishment Stage scale monster, there were few living creatures left in the entire scale monster cave.
He flipped the foundation-building scale monster over with his foot and kicked it on the jawbone, breaking its jaw directly.
The lower jaw drooped limply, revealing a mouthful of densely packed, needle-sharp fangs.
When Jiang Li used the sword to strike Zhuo Hong just now, he deliberately weakened the power and did not hit the vital parts, so he was able to barely save the fish's life temporarily.
As for why to keep it, that's a commonplace.
A handful of waste pills were stuffed into the mouth of the seriously injured and dying scale monster, and it soon began to twist and struggle violently.
The long black hair also began to turn white rapidly.
Jiang Li checked the other scale monsters that had cultivated themselves. Unfortunately, their vitality was not strong enough and only three of them survived.
After going through the process one by one, Jiang Li cleaned the four seeds that were stained with vomit and looked a bit disgusting, wrapped them with cloth strips, and then stuffed them into his arms.
He had a hunch that these spiritual root seeds would bring him considerable benefits in the future.
After going around and killing many escaped fish living in other caves, Jiang Li stood in front of the inverted statue.
The flying sword Zhuhong floated quietly beside him, with flames swirling around the sword, illuminating everything around him.
It was not until he got closer that Jiang Li discovered that the statue that the scaly monster was worshipping was actually a strange tree growing upside down.
The roots of this strange tree are deeply embedded in the top of the stone cave, supporting it to stand upside down like this for a long time.
The trunk of the tree fully presents the image of a person sitting cross-legged, with both the movements and expressions being perfectly executed and extremely magical.
Even above the inverted statue's head, there is a cluster of dark green leaves forming a canopy for it, making it look solemn and dignified.
But there is no doubt that this is indeed a living tree. Jiang Li, whose original wood attribute spiritual root is Jiang Li, is confident that he will not be wrong about this.
The vine with two fruits hanging on it grew out from the top of the inverted statue.
Jiang Li thought about it, then reached out and picked the two fruits.

The dark red fruit reveals an attractive ripe color, and its rich fragrance makes people salivate.
Obviously, this fruit and the spiritual root seed are a routine.
"Haha, this is a natural treasure that only those who are destined to have it will get it. It seems that I have really good luck recently."
"I want to eat it!"
He picked up the fruit and pretended to put it in his mouth. The sweet smell made the spiritual energy in the clone's body stir, and instinct told Jiang Li that as long as he ate this fruit, his cultivation would jump up a level.
However, when the fruit was about to fall into his mouth, he stopped abruptly.
"I'm not stupid, would I really eat it?"
Even if he wanted to eat it, he had to wait until he had completely mastered this strange tree. By then, he might be able to enjoy this spiritual fruit that had absorbed the essence of the creature's cultivation with peace of mind.
Jiang Li looked at the strange tree that had grown itself into a statue of a god.
There must be something seriously wrong with this statue tree that's growing upside down.
It can eat the seeds of spiritual roots and grow the same number of fruits from them.
This is the only way Jiang Li has discovered so far to use the spiritual root seeds. By eating the fruit, he should be able to gain a portion of the cultivation gained by his predecessors.
Perhaps... this strange tree is the source of the spiritual root seed! ... Or in other words, one of the sources.
After all, in southern India, there is a terrifying existence that can easily release more than two thousand spiritual root seeds.
However, the strange tree in front of him only released a dozen spiritual root seeds, which were carefully cultivated in the Scale Monster Tribe.
Back then, a host of the spiritual root seed was captured by the Ascension Pavilion convoy, and they had to take great risks to attack the convoy in order to retrieve the spiritual root seed.
It seems that the source of the spiritual root seeds should not be single, and the strength varies greatly.
In addition, based on known information, from a biological point of view, spiritual root seeds are actually "disabled" individuals that are unable to grow and reproduce on their own.
They are like worker bees in a beehive, castrated from birth with no ability to reproduce, and exist only as tools and media for obtaining energy.
Its role is just to take root in living organisms, guide them to practice, take away all the gains from practice, and finally feed back to the mother tree as a porter.
So, since spiritual root seeds are not a means of reproduction, how did at least two strange trees appear in the Dachong Mountains? It is very likely that they themselves have no reproductive ability.
Perhaps, the strange tree in front of Jiang Li is the lower-level reproduction product of some more powerful existence.
However, this characteristic of reverse growth seems to go against the instinct of plants. What kind of existence is the source of this plant? (End of this chapter)
