Chapter 799
After knowing the details of the Blood Fantasy Tree and the danger it caused, Yuan Jing sincerely thanked Yang Du and the others for their carelessness, which allowed Xu Ze and others to take advantage of the opportunity. Otherwise, if they had not arrived, he and Yang Du would have to face the Blood Fantasy Tree head on.
Looking again, even Yang Huailu was swept away by the vines of the Blood Illusion Tree. Yang Huailu struggled desperately and called for help from his companion Du Wenshan, hoping that Du Wenshan would rescue him. However, Du Wenshan saw with his own eyes that a cultivator was drained of blood and flesh by the monster in just a few breaths. Hearing Yang Huailu's cry for help, he retreated repeatedly. He wished he could stay as far away from the monster as possible. As long as he stayed away from its hunting range, he should be safe.
But the next moment he tripped and then flew into the air. Du Wenshan, who was swept into the air, was horrified to see dozens of roots extending from the soil and joining the ranks of the hunting monks.
Du Wenshan was terrified and tried desperately to break free, but only then did he realize the suffering of Yang Huailu. After being tied up by this root, something penetrated into his skin, and even the defense of his divine power was ineffective. After this thing penetrated into his body, he became more and more powerless, and the despair of being on the verge of death made him shout for help.
Yuan Jing took another deep breath after seeing this. Although he thought that there might be a fight to the death between him and Yang Du, he did not expect that Yang and Du would end up like this before they could even take action. In just a short while, Yang Huailu's screams had stopped and he had turned into a dried corpse. It seemed that Du Wenshan would follow in his footsteps.
The power of the Blood Illusion Divine Tree was too terrifying. Yuan Jing asked Yue Mo, who knew the details of the tree, "Is there any way to cure it? If we leave it alone, if it escapes from the mansion one day, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yue Mo was surprised. He thought Yuan Jing would feel like he had avenged himself and wanted to applaud. However, he was first concerned about whether the sacred tree would run out and bring danger to the cultivators in the divine world. Yue Mo reflected on himself and realized that he had underestimated this little guy. Although he had the opportunity to use tricks, he still retained a kind side in his heart.
Yue Mo said: "This Blood Illusion Divine Tree needs to devour flesh and blood to grow. This time, it must have been locked up in the Forbidden Mansion for too long without eating, so it became particularly crazy when it saw a stranger coming in. As long as it is sealed away forever, the Divine Tree will not be able to replenish itself with flesh and blood, and will naturally become weaker."
"As of now, the power of this Blood Illusion Divine Tree has reached the Mysterious God stage. I think the owner of the Forgotten Mansion has specially cultivated it to this level. Otherwise, if it exceeds this stage, even if he is a Divine Lord, it will be difficult for him to control this Blood Illusion Divine Tree."
"So if you want to destroy this tree, you must have a Divine Lord-level cultivator to do it, or you can use high-quality divine fire to burn it to death, such as the Immortal Divine Fire."
Yuan Jing took another breath. He knew where the Immortal Divine Fire was, but it was in the easternmost part of the Divine Realm. With his current strength, he couldn't even reach the Immortal Divine Mountain, let alone obtain the Immortal Divine Fire.
Yue Mo continued, "Fortunately, this is just a tree after all. As long as we don't enter its attack range, no matter how strong the sacred tree is, it can't do anything to the cultivators."
At this time, a cultivator tried to rescue his companion who had been captured. Yuan Jing quickly shouted, "This is the Blood Illusion Divine Tree, a Mysterious God-level Blood Illusion Divine Tree. As long as you don't enter its attack range, you will be safe."
"Blood Illusion Divine Tree? What is this thing?"
Yuan Jing brought out what Yue Mo had told him: "My friend said that there was a blood-illusion tree in the God Realm ten thousand years ago. It even devoured the God Sovereign. In the end, it took several God Kings to come forward and destroy it."
After hearing Yuan Jing's words, one of the men dodged the attack of the branches of the sacred tree in a panic, crawling and rolling out of the attack range of the branches. This left a blood scar on his body, and the flow of divine energy in his body stagnated. He was horrified and quickly took the detoxification pill. He responded to Yuan Jing's words and shouted, "This tree is poisonous. Once you touch it, you can't avoid it. Everyone be careful!"
Half of the monks died in the blink of an eye. No matter how greedy they were, they would feel sympathetic towards this situation, and their little remaining conscience would be awakened.
Yuan Jing and Yue Mo walked in, carefully staying away from the attack range of the sacred tree. The surviving cultivator thanked Yuan Jing with lingering fear: "Thank you for your reminder, I didn't expect there would be such a powerful thing in this abandoned mansion."
Some monks also said: "It seems that this god does not want his abandoned mansion to be disturbed. There must be traps in other places. Everyone, be careful."
"Yes, the fruit on that strange tree was clearly the Blood God Fruit. Who would have thought it was fake? No wonder it's called the Blood Illusion God Tree."
The surviving monks exchanged names with each other, and Yue Mo also reported his name. Because of the accident, no one was in the mood to fight, and they invited each other to form a team to explore the ruins together, so as to avoid being isolated and helpless in case of any emergency.
Yuan Jing is dispensable. Compared with these people, he feels that Yue Mo is more reliable at this time.
Apart from other things, even his knowledge could help him. Among the cultivators here, only Yue Mo could tell the origin of the Blood Fantasy Tree and the incident that happened ten thousand years ago. It seemed that Yue Mo was not an ordinary cultivator, but he did not want to investigate his origins. In his opinion, after the trip to the abandoned mansion, everyone would go their separate ways and pursue their own careers.
But he was still happy to ask the knowledgeable monks for advice to increase his knowledge and experience.
He always seizes every time and opportunity to learn and enrich himself. The more he knows, the greater his chances of surviving in this world.
However, when they saw the good things, some cultivators still couldn't control their greed and reached out for them, resulting in the death of half of the remaining twenty or so people when they entered the core of the ruins mansion, and Yuan Jing and Yue Mo have not taken any action until now.
Yuan Jing had suspected there were problems in several places and had pointed them out, but not everyone believed his words. During this period, he also communicated with Yue Mo, who explained to him the situations of several traps. Yuan Jing felt that he had gained something again. Next time he encountered a similar trap, he would be able to avoid it accurately, and even after figuring it out thoroughly, he could set up the same trap himself to defend against the enemy.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, why are you coming in this time..." At this point, Yuan Jing and Yue Mo's behavior was enough to attract the attention of others, especially since they had not extended their hands, making it difficult for people to guess their purpose of entering the palace.
Yuan Jing said frankly: "I know that this Lord God is quite knowledgeable about alchemy. I also have some experience in alchemy and want to make further progress."
Yue Mo said: "I am looking for an opportunity to advance to the level of a mysterious god."
Very good, no one doubted what they said. Except for the dead cultivators, there were also two people here who had heard of Yuan Jing's reputation to some extent. Now they knew that he had set his sights on alchemy and they had no doubt at all, which was very consistent with his usual personality. As for Yue Mo, most of the cultivators who came in here had the same purpose as him.
"We are here. This is the inner hall. Why don't we split up and act accordingly? I hope everyone can gain something and find what they want."
"Okay." Yuan Jing did not disagree. He turned around and looked at the place where the books were stored without hesitation, and then glanced at Yue Mo.
Yue Mo said: "Let me work with you first, maybe I can become an alchemist and tap into my talent in alchemy."
Yuan Jing was amused by him, and the others also shook their heads after hearing him. It was not that easy to be an alchemist, and ordinary casual practitioners did not have so much money to invest in alchemy.
Pushing open the door of the library, Yuan Jing's breathing paused and he almost got excited, because there were quite a few books in there, and these happened to be his favorite. Yue Mo's gaze lingered on Yuan Jing's face for a while. At this time, he could hear the cheers of other monks, and it was obvious that they had found something good, but this man was not affected at all, and was completely attracted by these books that other monks thought were not of much use.
Didn’t you see that apart from the two of them, there is no other person visiting this library at the moment?
Yuan Jing felt Yue Mo's gaze and explained with a smile: "I am a casual cultivator. If I want to learn something or understand the situation outside, I need to save up divine stones to buy books and jade slips. Over the years, I have unknowingly fallen in love with collecting books and jade slips."
Yue Mo curled his lips: "This is actually a very good habit."
"Really? This is the first time someone praises me like this." Yuan Jing was a little flattered, but he knew that his behavior would seem silly in the eyes of some cultivators.
Yue Mo smiled: "Of course it's true."
Even though he was eager to put all these books into his storage ring, Yuan Jing did not act impulsively. He first carefully checked the room for traps, but found that there were no traps at all. Then he found a row of notes on the bookshelf that were all from the owner of the mansion, including notes on alchemy and some experiences in cultivation.
Yuan Jing flipped through the books and said, "This god has a somewhat contradictory personality. On one hand, he is very calculative, but on the other hand, he must be very arrogant. Therefore, he does not block the access to his library at all. He clearly wants people to come in and read his notes and cultivation experiences, and agree with his views."
Yue Mo also flipped through a few books, and could see the arrogance and complacency of this god from the lines: "I think your judgment is yours."
Yuan Jing searched the entire library, and although he did not find the alchemy inheritance of this god, he found a lot of alchemy experience and recipes. The joy in his heart was no less than that of finding the alchemy inheritance. He wanted to put all the books away, but he had a companion by his side and could not just take care of himself.
"What does Brother Yue need? You take it first, and I'll take care of the rest."
Yue Mo could see his thoughts, and his eyes could not help but drift to those books. He picked up a few travel books and said, "I'll take these first. Then, give me a contact number. If I really want to learn alchemy, I will need to ask you, Yuan Daoyou, for advice."
"That's no problem," Yuan Jing responded without thinking, "I also learned the alchemy skills from others. If you want to learn, I will definitely not keep it to myself."
"Okay then."
After Yuan Jing packed up the remaining books and jade slips, he exchanged contact information with Yue Mo. To be honest, his impression of this partner has become better and better so far, and he thinks it would be a good thing to continue to communicate with him after leaving this abandoned mansion.
Since he started practicing, he has had very few true friends around him. They have conflicts over interests and can fall out at any time, but he longs for true friends.
"The purpose of my coming here has been achieved. Next, let's go find what you want, Brother Yue." Yuan Jing felt that he could not treat Yue Mo unfairly. At least he had to let him achieve his goal.
