Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 601

Chapter 601 Tree Man

Qingyu Garden.

Fang Xing was holding something that looked like animal skin in his hand and was trying hard to comprehend it.

This is the fundamental diagram of the magical power of ‘Meat Tai Sui’.

Although Fei Changnong said that military merits should not be given privately, there were so many such things happening in private that it was impossible to control them all!
Fang Xing was willing to give out several more merits, so naturally there were many Taoist monks who were tempted.

After receiving a bag of talisman money, Fei Changnong didn’t say much. He acted as a guarantor and helped Fang Xing complete the transaction.

‘Although after this transaction, all my merit points were cleared, and even my talisman money was reduced by half, it was still worth it…’

Fang Xing looked at the pitch-black animal hide in front of him.

“The texture of this beast’s hide is strange… It’s not an ordinary monster beast. It might be comparable to Yangshen Zhenjun…”

And on the black animal skin, there are many different patterns.

These lines are extremely complex, and they are constantly extending and changing…faintly forming the shape of a Ganoderma lucidum.

“Meat Tai Sui…”

Fang Xing’s eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be immersed in it all of a sudden.

“Let’s not talk about the origin of this magical power diagram. It is extremely difficult to comprehend it…”

“But for me, it is very simple… I will definitely be able to break through in a few years and condense the pseudo-divine power of ‘Rou Tai Sui’.”

“By then, I will definitely be able to break through to the late stage of Dao Foundation, and it will be no problem for me to master the magical power of ‘Blood and Flesh Derivation’ in the future…”

Fang Xing carefully experienced it: “This ‘Meat Tai Sui’ magical power is of the defense and recovery type…”

As he continued to comprehend, the shadows of the trees on his body swayed, and a faint fragrance came with it…

…

A few months later.

Poison Dragon Slope.

Fang Xing took a special vacation and came to Dulongpo.

In the bamboo sea.

Several Three Holy Oaks stand proudly, each one is so thick that it takes several people to hug it, and carries the breath of ancient times.

“Spiritual plant – the Three Sacred Oaks! It is most suitable for transforming into a tree man…”

Fang Xing stroked the oak bark and nodded slightly.

With the combined power of his [Plant Growth] talent and his pseudo-magical ability of ‘Lush and Verdant’, the first few ‘Three Holy Oaks’ he planted finally reached the ten thousand year level!

Bang!

He collected oak nuts one by one. These thousand-year-old oak nuts contained pure vitality and could be used to make top-grade healing medicines, or they could be swallowed directly to improve the cultivation of monks practicing wood-attributed techniques.

“The Ten Thousand Years Three Sacred Oak…if it is transformed into a tree man, it should be able to fight with the power of a Yin God, right?”

Fang Xing murmured and estimated silently with the perception of a druid.

“If I want to enlighten a ‘Ten Thousand Year Tree Man’, first of all, my own druid level must be above level 15, and then I will lose a lot of experience…”

“If you don’t have enough experience, you will use your life force, or life span, instead?”

“You can keep it as a trump card, but it’s better to use paper figures for normal use.”

The thousand-year-old tree man is huge in size and moves slowly…these are weaknesses that are difficult to overcome.

In comparison, paper figures are easier to carry and are even completely different to use.

The talent of [Enlightening Treemen] belongs to the Druid. It is never seen in this world and is likely to attract the attention of some high-ranking beings.

Therefore, when facing the enemy, it is best to silence them.

Paper figures are a common magic trick in other places and are more suitable as a conventional means.

“If I refine another ‘Spiritual Paper House Cave Heaven’, not only will it be extremely convenient to move, but I can also summon an army of paper figures with a wave of my hand…”

“The same principle applies to using enlightenment techniques to enlighten monsters…”

rustle!

The bamboo shadows fell down, and a huge black shadow emerged, it was the black snake!

In other words, the Taoist monster – the poisonous-horned python!

The scales of this poisonous horned python are as black as black jade. Its body is over ten feet long and it has a single horn on its forehead with strange patterns on it.

In order to enlighten him to break through his foundation, Fang Xing did not consume his precious druid experience, but instead spent nearly ten years of his life.

“The cost of enlightening monsters and spirits is higher than that of ordinary paper figures…”

“The point is that even if my beast control technique is strong, the monsters I train can break through bottlenecks one after another, which is still a bit eye-catching…”

“As for the paper figurine, it’s nothing. I just shortened my lifespan…”

Fang Xing touched the black poisonous horn of the poisonous python and felt the poison condensed in it.

If it weren’t for his improved [Poison Immunity] talent, he might have been poisoned just by touching this poisonous horn.

“Its combat power is pretty good… but if you want to raise it to the late stage of the Dao Foundation, you will need to consume far more than thirty years of life.”

“If you want to transform into a dragon, don’t even think about it for a few hundred years…”

After all, the poisonous-horned python is a living creature of flesh and blood. It can practice on its own and has its own will.

If you want to break through, the cost is far more than a paper man.

“With six great paper generals, a small ginseng spirit comparable to the middle stage of the Dao foundation… and usually this poisonous horn python at the initial stage of the Dao foundation, it should be enough.”

Fang Xing looked at the ten thousand mu of bamboo forest and thought to himself: “But I still need to add some insurance.”

Although he has also planted tens of thousands of acres of evergreen trees in Qingyu Garden, this sea of bamboo is older and has brought more experience.

After a druid reaches level 15, the amount of experience points required becomes increasingly huge, and no experience points can be given up.

Thinking of this, Fang Xing came to the oldest thousand-year-old Three Holy Oaks.

As he thought about it, a green light fell on the Three Holy Oaks.

——Enlighten the tree man!
——Enlightenment!

The little Druid experience Fang Xing had was quickly consumed, and then his life span!
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years!

Fifty years, one hundred years, three hundred years!

After consuming a full three hundred years of its lifespan, the ancient Three Holy Oaks shook and roots sprouted from the ground.

Boom!
It stood up and turned into a towering tree man. Six forks appeared on the tree trunk, and a strange head grew out. There was a face on the left and right sides of the head. It was a strange tree man with three faces and six arms.

It looked down and saw Fang Xing. An old but gentle voice rang out: “Salute to you, nature’s darling!”

“Well, your name is ‘Sanshou’!”

Fang Xing said: “The only mission is to protect this bamboo sea.”

Although tree people have difficulty moving, they are good at positional warfare and defensive battles.

After a brief sense, Fang Xing knew that these three tree people had the talent of [Natural Barrier], which was equivalent to a large-scale formation that could protect the entire bamboo forest.

And his strength is absolutely at the first level of Yin Shen Zhenren, so there is absolutely no problem with defense.

Combined with the six flexible and maneuverable paper generals, it will be foolproof.

“You usually take care to hide yourself.”

Fang Xing gave a few instructions, and the three-headed tree men immediately sat back down, returning to their ten-thousand-year-old three holy oak appearances.

“Such an existence, in this world, should be called a ten thousand year old tree demon?”

“Its hiding ability is amazing. Before it is revealed, even the Yinshen Zhenren may not be able to sense the difference between it and ordinary oak…”

Fang Xing nodded, very satisfied.

“I only have 2,700 years left to live. It’s really not enough…”

He shook his head and was about to leave when he saw a flash of green light.

The little ginseng spirit Xiaoqing was lying on the roots of the Three Saints Oaks, soundly sleeping and looking very comfortable.

“He’s quite a clever little fellow.”

“In the entire Poison Dragon Slope, there is no place safer than under this tree, where the essence of plants and trees is more abundant…”

Fang Xing smiled slightly.

In time, perhaps this place will be transformed into a “holy place in the forest”, a sanctuary for druids.

By then, even the True Lord Yangshen would have difficulty breaking in!
Of course, this would require a huge investment.

…

When Fang Xing walked out of the bamboo forest, he saw Lu Feng waiting outside.

Compared to his previous high-spirited appearance, the head of the Lu family looked much older, with some gray hair on his temples and a hunched back.

“Uncle Fang…”

Lu Feng coughed, and his cultivation level actually regressed.

“Weren’t you on the battlefield?”

Fang Xing was a little surprised.

“I was seriously injured a few days ago and was able to return to my family to recuperate…”

Lü Feng smiled bitterly and said, “My foundation has been damaged. I’m afraid that, like Uncle Tie Luo, it will be difficult for me to return to the Qi Sensing Stage.”

“The techniques of the Blood Shadow Sect are indeed sinister.”

Fang Xing was quite moved and handed over a healing berry.

Lu Feng took it with a bitter face, knowing that he no longer had any face in front of Uncle Fang.

He knew the effect of the healing berry, it could only slightly replenish vitality but could not heal the damage to the foundation.

Of course Fang Xing also knew that it was just a gesture.

For a guy who once wanted to take over the bamboo forest, he was already good-tempered by not taking action. How could he possibly heal him?
‘Even, it’s difficult to use ‘natural healing’ for fundamental injuries… Unless you get the talent of ‘advanced natural healing’…’

Druids have good healing abilities. Healing berries are equivalent to “treating minor injuries”, and “natural healing” can treat moderate injuries.

“Advanced Natural Healing” can treat severe injuries. Even broken limbs, deafness, blindness, or damaged foundation can all be recovered after treatment.

However, Fang Xing has not yet obtained this talent.

Even if they got it, they would not give Lu Feng treatment.

“Where is Hu Liuniang’s grave? Is it with Tie Luo?”

Fang Xing said, “I still have to go and pay my respects.”

“Uncle Fang, please.”

Lu Feng, with a bitter look on his face, led the way ahead.

Although the Lu family is the dominant family in Dongfeng today, the friendship of the five friends of Fuyun is still there. Tie Luosanren, Song Yunqian, and Hu Liuniang are all buried next to old Lu.

There is even a cenotaph for Lin Xu.

At this moment, in front of the graves of several people, there was actually a figure standing silently.

“Who are you?”

When Lu Feng saw a stranger standing in front of his ancestor’s grave paying tribute, he couldn’t help but ask a question.

“Wait…you are…Lin Xu?”

Fang Xing spoke in surprise.

Although the figure’s face was extremely pale, it was indeed the same Lin Xu as before.

“What? Uncle Lin?”

Lv Feng sensed it and was shocked: “He has also forged a foundation for the Tao?”

Lin Xu turned around, a stiff smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly he turned into a gray-white light and soared into the sky.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, take care…”

The shadows of trees swayed around Fang Xing, and he chased after him.

In his heart, he secretly laughed: “Although this person is Lin Xu, he is just Lin Xu’s corpse… The real Lin Xu has long been dead. Is it that his corpse was refined by the Corpse Driving Sect with a secret method, and he broke through the foundation of Taoism?”
