Chapter 1501 Collect Treasure Source

If they received their help, they would have no trouble tracking down the enemy in the vast, eerie forest.

But as She Feng said, the Golden Demon Snake Clan would not seek assistance from outsiders unless absolutely necessary.

“Also, you guys must be careful of those spirit refinement ancestral trees. Even Saints would not dare to go near those dangerous things. The slightest contact with one will trigger it to spew out rays of spirit refinement turbid light which can corrode one’s flesh and blood and turn their spirits into nutrients for the tree.”

She Feng swept a glance at the ancient tree nearby and reminded the others in a solemn voice.

All the others felt a chill.

Of course they had also heard about the terror of the spirit refinement ancestral tree.

“Let’s go. Time to move.” She Feng led the way.

The others followed closely behind.

......

In the depths of the dark forest, on the wide treetop of an ancient towering tree that was covered with dense leaves that blotted out the sun, Lin Xun was sitting upright. His aura was concealed by the dao rune forbidden array around him.

Buzz!

The Broken Blade floated in front of him. The near-transparent illusory blade tip had a layer of cryptic dao rune pattern flowing around it.

Lin Xun opened the vial, and as drops of the golden spirit refinement treasure source touched the Broken Blade, a strange phenomenon happened.

The Broken Blade that was as bright and white as snow ravenously drank up the drops of liquid, and then it produced a clear, cheerful cry.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes lit up. He tilted the vial to let a stream of golden spirit refinement treasure source slowly trickle onto the blade body.

The Broken Blade continued to release clear cries, while the cryptic dao rune pattern on the transparent blade grew increasingly clear.

“Spirit refinement treasure source is indeed an amazing treasure...”

Lin Xun was buzzing with excitement.

The Broken Blade was a true spirit weapon and also Lin Xun’s life-bound king weapon.

Over the years, the Broken Blade had also undergone several transformations, and its power was no longer what it used to be.

Lin Xun had also obtained two inheritance arts from the Broken Blade.

The first was the Yuan Word Inheritance, an art for operating the Broken Blade. It was precisely because of this inheritance art that Lin Xun was able to control the heaven-defying fierce blade with ease using his spirit cultivation.

The second was the Extreme Word Inheritance, an art that activated and enhanced the power of the Broken Blade.

But Lin Xun knew that there were four parts to the Broken Blade’s inheritance, and he had only obtained two so far from lucky coincidences.

And now, the Broken Blade was clearly undergoing another transformation!

However, even after the last drop of the spirit refinement treasure source had been absorbed and the Broken Blade had become brighter and more illusory than ever, Lin Xun still saw no signs of the third inheritance power appearing.

“It seems like the spirit refinement treasure source was not enough to transform the Broken Blade...” Lin Xun was flabbergasted by the result.

Spirit refinement treasure source was no ordinary material. It was a rare treasure that could only be discovered but not sought.

Even Saints would have fought to the death over the little vial he had just now!

The Broken Blade had absorbed so much spirit refinement treasure source, yet it was still not ready to transform.

The Broken Blade was no ordinary weapon. A spirit weapon not only possessed many obscure and mysterious secrets and inheritances, but also required incredible resources for its transformation.

Lin Xun put away the Broken Blade and took out the storage earring that he had looted from She Zhen. After searching through it, he found bamboo slips covered with golden scales.

Information about the spirit refinement treasure source was recorded on the bamboo slip.

He learned that the trees that contained spirit refinement treasure source were called spirit refinement ancestral trees.

It was an extremely unusual species of primordial tree that had long since become extinct even in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain.

In other words, it could only be found in the Spirit Refinement Forest of the Nine Domains Battlefield.

The root system of such trees could give birth to a precious treasure called spirit refinement treasure source, but at the same time, they contained a terrifying power called spirit refinement turbid light.

Lin Xun perked up when he read the last part of the bamboo slip. I found it!

The last part of the slip were notes about a secret technique specially used for collecting spirit refinement treasure source.

Anyone, even Saints, who attempted to collect spirit refinement treasure source in any other way other than the secret technique would suffer attacks from the spirit refinement ancestral trees!

“No wonder She Zhen was so cautious when approaching the spirit refinement ancestral trees...” Lin Xun’s face lit up with understanding.

Then, he held his breath in concentration and tried to comprehend the secret technique recorded on the bamboo slip.

Lin Xun had only just arrived in the Nine Domains Battlefield, and everything was unknown to him. But he had been thrown into the Blood Demon Territory, a camp of the enemy.

Given the circumstances, he could only take things one step at a time.

Of course, his top priority should be to familiarize himself with the environment of the Nine Domains Battlefield as soon as possible.

Then, he would begin to make preparations to tackle the Supreme Saint Stage. When he was ready to become a Saint, he would choose to head to the Ancient Wasteland Territory in the heart of the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Until then, his main focus was to collect battle merits and luck.

As for whether they could turn the tide, wipe away the shame of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and change their fate of inevitable defeat, it was pointless to worry about it.

Three hours later.

Lin Xun had mastered the secret technique of harvesting spirit refinement treasure source, so he decided to test it out.

Swoosh!

After he withdrew the dao rune forbidden array, he quietly leapt down from the tree and activated the Suanni Qi to conceal his aura.

Before long, he found a target—A spirit refinement ancestral tree with a strong bronze trunk.

He cautiously approached the tree and with a turn of his right hand, the bone blade that originally belonged to She Zhen was already in his grip.

He took a deep breath before he crouched down at the roots of the spirit refinement ancestral tree.

The roots formed a dense network as though they were endless, but only one contained the tree’s spirit refinement treasure source.

Identifying that root was quite a skill.

After all, if the wrong target was chosen, the tree would immediately strike with spirit refinement turbid light!

Using the secret knowledge and power he had just learned, Lin Xun quickly selected one of the roots and took it off with a swipe of the blade. Golden liquid immediately dripped out from the severed root, which Lin Xun quickly collected into the prepared vial.

After doing all that, he let out a sigh of relief, got up and left.

That series of actions might seem simple and quick, but the slightest mistake could lead to a mishap.

Next, Lin Xun patrolled the forest in search of spirit refinement ancestral trees and then harvested the spirit refinement treasure source when he found one.

In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, he filled up the vial.

Unfortunately for him, although the forest was vast, there were very few spirit refinement ancestral trees to be found, and each one could only be harvested once.

In other words, if he wanted to collect a huge amount of spirit refinement treasure source, he had to be patient and gather them over a period of time.

Moreover, the Spirit Refinement Forest was not a place without danger. Although he had not had any terrifying encounters along the way, he distinctly noticed that the deeper he went into the forest, the quieter and more eerie and suffocating it felt.

It was so much that his heart started to palpitate. It felt as if something terrifying was lurking deep in the forest.

This forced him to slow down his pace.

“Huh?”

An hour later, while he was harvesting spirit refinement treasure source from an ancestral tree, a feeling of imminent danger flooded his heart.

Without hesitation, he flashed over to a nearby giant tree and quietly hid himself.

He spotted a group of figures silently coming his way on the path he came from.

It turned out to be She Feng and the others from the Golden Demon Snake Clan.

She Feng came up to the spirit refinement ancestral tree and investigated. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up. Suppressing his joy and excitement, he said aloud, “That kid just left!”

The men and women behind him were also delighted to hear the good news.

But whether it was She Feng or the others, they all cautiously suppressed their aura and restrained their murderous intent.

She Feng’s eyes flashed and he spoke leisurely, “If that kid hadn’t been collecting spirit refinement treasure source, then we might have never been able to track him down, but now, we only need to look for harvested spirit refinement ancestral trees to find him!” As he was speaking, he turned around and flicked his sleeve.

Chi!

A black pointy flying shuttle suddenly shot into the air with astonishing speed, heading directly in the direction of where Lin Xun was hiding.

I’ve been discovered!

Lin Xun’s black eyes narrowed. Fortunately, he was already prepared and rapidly activated the God Burning Wings and vanished from the spot.

Boom!

The giant tree that Lin Xun was standing on exploded into fragments of wood.

She Feng looked surprised that his blow had failed to kill Lin Xun. With a cold snort, he disappeared from the spot using the art of teleportation.

“Stay together and be careful, I’ll go and get rid of that thief!” She Feng reminded the others before he left.

The men and women nodded.

They had no chance to intervene if a powerful Saint like She Feng was determined to take care of things. All they had to do was wait to hear good news from him.

......

Instantly, a pursuit broke out in the Spirit Refinement Forest.

Even if Lin Xun did not know She Feng, he could tell just by his aura alone that the old guy was a fierce character of the Saint Stage.

Lin Xun couldn’t help furrowing his brows. Luckily, the old guy’s aura was not much different from some of the True Saints that he had met before.

In other words, he should not be a Supreme Saint!

Even so, being hunted down by a True Saint was still terrifying.

Lin Xun was not afraid, but he was only fifty percent confident of being able to kill the opponent, and that was only if he activated the divine power of Time Stopping.

Otherwise, he had no chance of winning.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun activated the God Burning Wings and sped into the depths of the forest.

The atmosphere in the forest depths might be blood-curdling, but he could not care about that anymore.

Meanwhile, She Feng raised his brows. He thought that he could easily capture and kill Lin Xun, a youngster who had yet to reach the Saint Stage.

Who would have thought that the pursuit did not go as he planned at all?
