Chapter 79: The Evil-Repelling Divine Tree
Qiu Zhen looked at the "little wood spirit" carefully and soon had an idea in his mind.
Previously, the "Wood Spirit Demon General" transformed by the little wood spirit was obviously the work of the old man "Yuanhua", who used secret means to refine the "little wood spirit" into a "guardian demon general".
The "guardian demon general" it transformed into was quite powerful, but to some extent, it also "solidified" the growth of the little wood elf.
Qiu Zhen has acquired Guo Wenju's magical beast taming technique and is well versed in the art of training monsters and goblins.
He knew very well that the truly wise way of training was to "let nature take its course."
The immortal secret method is certainly good, but if used well, it will be the "icing on the cake" and can allow the little wood spirit to take a step further.
But unfortunately, the old man's "Yuanhua" method was very ordinary. While he trained himself into a "guardian demon general", he suppressed the spirituality of the little wood elf.
This time, Qiu Zhen gave the foundation-building item "Old Tree Roots" to the little wood spirit, allowing it to break the shackles of the secret method and transform again. The dead tree came back to life and became full of spirituality.
"What a good fortune."
Qiu Zhen praised and started to think secretly in his heart.
With his current level of cultivation, he can currently enlighten three times.
The first opportunity for enlightenment was given to Bai Zhu. Needless to say, as his own "angel round" shareholder, it was natural for Bai Zhu to get this opportunity.
The remaining two opportunities for "enlightenment" are extremely precious.
"Do you want to help the little wood elf and give it a helping hand?"
Qiu Zhen was a little hesitant.
After he got the little wood spirit, he studied it carefully, but did not find out that the little wood spirit was some famous alien spiritual wood.
When asked about the little wood spirit, it was confused and couldn't explain clearly. It only knew that it was an ordinary jujube wood that had become a spirit. It originally lived a carefree life, but was later cut down by an "old Taoist priest" and refined into a "wood spirit demon general."
Seeing that the little wood elf survived two [Golden Lightning Talismans], Qiu Zhen guessed that the little wood elf might have some magical powers.
The exact origin is unknown.
To be honest, using the precious "enlightenment" quota on the little wood spirit is a bit of a "gamble".
Originally, Qiu Zhen was still a little hesitant.
Although the situation around him was turbulent, it did not make him feel a strong sense of crisis.
However, the two Zhuangs from the so-called "Ten Thousand Gods Alliance" made him wary. In addition, he happened to see the little wood spirit transforming.
"Well, immortals value life. Your transformation and rebirth are a matter of fate. We should just go with the flow."
After Qiu Zhen had thought about this, his mind became clear and without any hesitation, he carried the little wood spirit out of the medicinal materials and found a vacant space with strong spiritual energy to place it.
Then he made a hand gesture and the soul and body between his eyebrows burst into golden light, as holy and godly.
"Edict!"
A ray of golden light of spiritual wisdom fell on the little wood elf.
Under the baptism of golden light, the little wood elf hugging the old tree roots trembled slightly, and golden light emanated from its whole body, which contrasted with its original green aura.
The "Enlightenment Magic" in [Guo Wenju's Magical Beast Taming Magic] can specifically enlighten beasts and monsters, allowing them to escape from ignorance, enlighten their wisdom, return to their origins, and activate the power of their bloodlines.
The little wood spirit is not some "alien spiritual wood", but at this moment it absorbs the foundation-building magic object and transforms and is reborn, just like a baby's innate creation in the mother's womb.
Now is the perfect time for him to perform the "Enlightenment Magic". It is the most ideal time for the "Enlightenment" magic.
"Sir, after your enlightenment, can it speak now?"
Baizhu is really looking forward to having a companion.
It was okay to talk to the villagers and learn some new things on weekdays, but it was often impossible to have a deep conversation. The young master was often busy, and apart from practicing, it was a bit bored on weekdays.
Life would be much more interesting if I had more companions.
"I think so."
Qiu Zhen nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.
After taming the little wood elf, he communicated with it through his mind. The little wood elf looked confused, but very human and able to answer. It was just suppressed by a secret technique and looked a little silly.
In essence, it must be extremely intelligent, but the old man's "Yuanhua" method of subduing it is very rough, simply suppressing the nature of the wood elf in order to control it.
Otherwise, the little wood elf would have been able to speak long ago.
"Great, I have a little brother too."
Bai Zhu was secretly delighted. As the most powerful general under the young master, how could he demonstrate his power as the "most powerful general" without comparison?
"Haha~"
Qiu Zhen smiled without saying anything, his eyes falling on the little wood elf.
Suddenly, a ray of light flew out from the little wood elf and sank into his forehead.
It was exactly the same scene as the day Bai Zhu came to seek refuge.
Qiu really understood what he meant, and his mind sank into the sea of consciousness.
Under the majestic primordial spirit body, in addition to Baizhu, there was a small thing - a small brown tree stump dotted with a few green leaves.
Perhaps because of the "bond" between them, Qiu Zhen and the little wood elf became inexplicably closer.
"Dreaming?" Qiu Zhen looked at the small tree stump that was sleeping soundly hugging the old tree root. He vaguely caught a glimpse of something. His mind moved, and he pinched the "Dream-making Technique" with his hand. His soul left his body, transformed into a "black cat", and flew into the dream of the little wood elf.
"boom!"
As soon as he entered the dream, Qiu Zhen, who had transformed into a black cat, was instinctively startled.
The reason was simple: in the little wood elf's dream, there were rolling dark clouds and bursts of thunder.
In the mountains, it was gloomy and a strong wind swept across the earth, shaking a tall wild jujube tree to the ground, making it look miserable.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the boundless darkness, thunder exploded in the mountains, illuminating a light and driving away the darkness.
Zaomu, who had become a spirit, was extremely frightened and instinctively feared the thunder in the sky, fearing that it would be struck by lightning.
However, things went against one's wishes. The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck the trembling jujube wood spirit.
There was a boom.
Trees exploded, tall trees snapped in half.
Immediately afterwards, thunder and fire rose up, and the jujube wood spirit let out a painful wail, frantically using its own spiritual power to extinguish the thunder and fire.
After an unknown amount of time, the Jujube Wood Spirit slowly woke up, happy that he had not died under the thunderbolt.
However, some uninvited guests came and cut down the tree, dug out its roots and core, and imprisoned its soul.
Then, the dream was in a state of confusion and darkness, without any light, until a golden lightning flashed down, and it broke free from its shackles and gained some intelligence. A god returned the tree heart and roots to it and gave it a new home.
"This"
Qiu Zhen's soul returned from the dream and into his physical body, with a hint of surprise on his face.
The old man's "Yuanhua" foundation-building item "Old Tree Root" originally belonged to the little wood elf.
Of course, what surprised him even more was that the little wood elf did not die under the thunderbolt, but instead gave birth to something good and gave birth to the "foundation-building wonder".
No wonder the little wood elf didn't turn into ashes even after withstanding two [Golden Lightning Talismans].
If "Yuanhua" had not stripped off the heart and roots of the little wood elf, its complete form would probably have been immune to ordinary thunder magic.
Only at this moment did he realize that the little wood elf was not without a background, but had a great origin.
A sacred tree that wards off evil spirits!
Taoism has two major trees that can ward off evil spirits.
One is peach wood, which is naturally able to restrain ghosts and drive away evil spirits;
The second is the jujube wood struck by lightning.
The jujube wood struck by lightning is the essence of the interaction of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. It is struck by the heavenly thunder among the five thunders of heaven, earth, water, gods and communities. It is full of the energy from heaven, can drive away evil, welcome blessings, prevent all diseases, and eliminate all difficulties. It is the number one sacred wood for making Taoist magic tools and the supreme sacred wood for warding off evil.
Of course, not all trees that are struck by lightning can be called lightning-struck sacred trees.
Only a tree that survives a lightning strike and continues to live can be called a "thunder-struck sacred tree."
In Taoist magic, many rituals require the use of wood struck by lightning.
Especially some extremely powerful spells and magical powers require the use of magic swords and tokens made of lightning-struck wood.
Not to mention, for a cultivator like Qiu Zhen who practices thunder magic, the lightning-struck sacred tree is a treasure to him.
Of course, despite what he said, Qiu Zhen had no intention of refining the "little wood spirit" into a magic weapon.
Since Xiao Mujing sincerely surrendered to him, he treated him with sincerity.
"Little wood spirit, all the hardships and trials are in the past. Now the dead tree has come back to life, why don't you wake up quickly!"
Qiu Zhen shouted loudly, like a thunderous explosion.
"Oh!"
The little wood elf holding onto the old tree root suddenly stood up. The small tree root turned into feet, and the branches turned into hands. Above the small tree stump, a human face slowly emerged. The face was still childish, with ignorant eyes, looking around with a bewildered look on its face.
However, unlike its childish appearance, the little wood spirit now exudes a terrifying aura, which is far stronger than before and much stronger than Bai Zhu. In fact, its aura is three times stronger than Qiu Zhen's whose soul has left his body.
"Master Xiantian, has it achieved Xiantian?"
Bai Zhu looked stunned, and then felt a little anxious.
It’s over.
I thought I would have a little brother who would take orders from me in the future, but I didn't expect that the throne of the most powerful general under the young master would be unstable.
"Not bad!"
Qiu was really happy.
He cultivated himself into a Yin God, but because he had not yet completed his acquired self-cultivation, the Yin God could not compare to a normal cultivator and could be considered half a "congenital master".
At the moment, the little wood elf is the first "innate level" combat force around him.
With this thought in mind, Qiu Zhen looked at the little wood elf with burning eyes, feeling expectant.
I don't know what magical powers the little wood elf has.
