He had heard that this Water of Life could restore vitality, and even more remarkably, it could change a person's constitution, making their physique purer and greatly accelerating their cultivation speed.
Fang Qing's heart stirred with excitement. He was determined to obtain this Water of Life so that he could accelerate his cultivation.
Lan Ling was also in a corner of the tavern, her heart filled with excitement. The adults were right to send her here; she had overheard such a big secret, and now she could go back and report.
She glanced at Fang Qing again. This young man was quite lucky to be able to strike up a conversation with a dwarf; he might come in handy in the future.
Fang Qing picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He then patted his pocket and took out a silver coin to pay the bill.
He then noticed a simple yet heavy dagger on the table. He picked it up and gently stroked it; the blade was sharp, clearly a fine knife.
This was left behind by Cheman. Dwarves are strange creatures who only like to forge weapons, and it is said that they only associate with the elves.
Weapons crafted by dwarves are rare; they are only given to friends, that is, people they find agreeable and approve of.
Fang Qing was secretly pleased with himself; he had actually obtained one, which was an unparalleled honor.
Lan Ling walked over. "May I sit here?"
Fang Qing looked up and saw the girl again; they were quite destined to meet.
"Please sit down."
Are you and Cheman very close?
"We just met."
There's no point in hiding it; many people have heard about it.
Lan Ling was a little skeptical. She glanced at the dagger; to receive a gift from a dwarf, one must at least gain the dwarf's approval.
Fang Qing put the dagger away. He thought this girl was too unlovable, at least not as cute as Xiao Mengli.
"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Lan Ling bit her lip. Why did she feel that Fang Qing had some prejudice against her?
"Wait, let's go to the Elf Forest together. I think you must want to go too."
Fang Qing stopped in his tracks.
"I know the map of the Elf Forest. Would you like to come with me?"
Fang Qing was completely unable to walk, which was what he needed most right now.
"I suddenly realized I have nothing to do right now. Can we talk about maps?"
Lan Ling smiled; she knew then that nothing was more appealing than self-interest.
?
Xiao Li also entered the Emberless Forest, but she went to the western part, which was closer to the orcs.
She sought out the essence of wood that had appeared in her previous life, hoping it would be useful to the Tree of Life.
This is an underground cave with underground rivers everywhere, and there are many stalactites above the cave.
Xiao Li carefully made her way across. Having wings saved her a lot of trouble; at least she didn't have to worry about not being able to cross the underground river without a boat.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a secret room. There was a small pool of spiritual milk there, filled with spiritual milk. Drinking just one drop would replenish my strength.
Xiao Li unceremoniously put everything into her spatial storage. Thinking about the origin of the spiritual milk, she then used her divine sense to probe the ground.
Sure enough, a piece of spirit stalactite was buried underground, and there was a small spirit mineral vein around it. The place where the spirit stalactite was located was also where a pile of top-grade spirit stones were.
Some of them even contain top-grade spiritual marrow, which is comparable to divine stones.
Xiao Li unceremoniously put all of these items into her spatial storage. Such good things should be used to replenish her small warehouse, so that her trip to this other world would not have been in vain.
Continuing forward, they finally found the essence of wood, an enormous tree root. Its roots were planted here, but its trunk was deep in the monster forest thousands of miles away.
"Master, this tree is dead."
It danced in the air, a wood-attribute flame, and its sensitivity to trees far surpassed that of Xiao Jiu.
Youyou precisely carved a hole in the middle of the tree trunk and took out a palm-sized, crystal-clear bead.
Xiao Li stared in astonishment at the shimmering bead. Who would have thought that such a large tree root could have all its energy condensed into this tiny bead?
Feeling the energy it contained, Xiao Li knew that it was of little use to the Tree of Life; it could only provide temporary relief.
This bead contains its energy, but it has no life force whatsoever. What the Tree of Life needs is precisely the life force, or rather, the origin of life.
Once upon a time, Xiao Li had also saved a Tree of Life in a secret realm, but that tree slowly withered because it could not absorb spiritual energy.
The Tree of Life in the Elf Forest, however, lost its original power and slowly died.
In other words, the Tree of Life in the Elf Forest is too old, and it needs more life essence to regain its youth.
Xiao Li left with the essence of wood. The tree was already dead, and the essence of wood was no longer useful; it would only slowly dissipate.
She traveled all over the continent, trying to find some of the essence of wood, but unfortunately, the oldest trees in the world had withered, and it was impossible for them to have any primordial power.
“Master, I do know a way to obtain the power of origin, but unfortunately it is just a drop in the ocean for the Tree of Life.”
Although Xiao Jiu is a man of few words, it always comes in handy, and Xiao Li is eagerly anticipating its solutions.
"Tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
Xiao Jiu glanced at 123; that silly system was still staring longingly at Xiao Jiu.
"Of course, ask 123. They have everything in their online store."
Xiao Li suddenly realized, "That's right."
123 also looked surprised and quickly opened the store, but then became dejected.
"Master, we don't have enough points at all."
Xiao Li looked at the string of zeros at the end and was speechless. This was something she could only look at, not buy.
However, she still decided to return to the Elf Forest to see if she could communicate with the Tree of Life, at least the essence of wood could alleviate its suffering.
"Li, you're finally back. The Queen waits for you here every day. Today is my shift, and I've finally waited for you."
As soon as Xiaoli entered the green barrier, she saw Manny's figure.
"Yes, I'm back, and I'm so happy to see you."
Manny linked arms with Xiaoli, and together they walked toward the Queen's palace.
Arya stood up from her seat in surprise. She looked Xiaoli up and down carefully. After five years, Xiaoli had changed a lot.
"Li, you're doing very well. Your magic has become even stronger, and you haven't disappointed me."
Xiao Li took out the essence of wood.
"Your Majesty, this is the most useful thing I could find. I wonder if it will be of any help to the Tree of Life."
The Queen took a moment to process it, and her expression gradually calmed down from surprise.
"Li, you've worked hard. This is useful, but it's not very helpful. We can try it and see how much the Tree of Life can alleviate the problem."
The group went to the location of the Tree of Life. The tree was still tall and straight, but its color was gradually turning yellow, and it was really about to collapse.
