“What did you say!!!” Vinina’s voice even changed tone.
“That is right, it is the flora spirit!” Li Yao said urgently.
“Oh, God! You are saying you have already found twelve flora spirits? You are not joking, are you?” Vinina, far away in the Paris base city, was already so excited she could hardly control herself. She knew exactly what this “flora spirit” was, and she also knew how astonishingly valuable it was. It was absolutely more tempting than gold scattered all over the ground.
Hiding in the distance, with only the slightest bit of his head showing above the surface, Luo Feng frowned. “What is a flora spirit?”
He had never heard of it.
“Vinina, this Mist Island is very strange. There are no beasts living here, yet there are actually flora spirits. Earlier, I discovered three weed like flora spirits. I almost suffered a huge loss. And just now, I found nine willow tree type flora spirits. I found twelve just like that. I believe there are definitely more than twelve flora spirits on the whole Mist Island, there may even be more.” Li Yao said, “Once we take these flora spirits away, we will be rich.”
Just one flora spirit was enough to scare people.
There was no point talking about the price, to talk about the price would be an insult to them.
Such treasures, no power would be willing to sell them.
“Especially the willow tree type flora spirits. The famous ‘Thousand Year Willow Heart’ on Earth back then was the core of a willow tree flora spirit.” Li Yao said, “As far as I know, that willow tree was only about one metre thick in diameter, but here there are nine of them, and even the thinnest one has reached one metre in diameter. The thickest one is even more than three metres.”
Willows, ordinary willows can also grow very thick.
But a willow tree that has transformed into a flora spirit is different from an ordinary willow tree. These flora spirits already have a ‘spirit’, with simple awareness for attack, self defence, and so on. The stronger the flora spirit, the more valuable it is.
“If I had been a little slower just now, I would have died at the hands of that largest flora spirit. Luckily, I relied on the transformation ability of the Black God Suit.” Li Yao said, “Back then, the Thousand Year Willow Heart could, after being consumed, first, greatly increase cell activity and raise the body’s recovery speed by many times. Second, the body’s physical condition would also make a leap forward.”
“And that was only the Thousand Year Willow Heart. I estimate that this willow tree, with a diameter of more than three metres, should be called the ‘Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart’.”
“Just this one Willow Tree King is already an invaluable treasure.”
“I am already an advanced Battle God. If I consume the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart, with its miraculous effect, I may well break through and become a being above the Battle God level.” Li Yao was incomparably excited. “However, I am not this Willow Tree King’s match.”
To obtain a ‘Willow Heart’, of course one had to cut down the willow tree.
A willow tree with ‘spirit’ would definitely resist. During the brief exchange just now, Li Yao had already felt the threat.
“Nine willow tree type flora spirits, a willow tree type flora spirit with a diameter of more than three metres?” Vinina was completely stunned.
“This cake is too big, we cannot eat it.” Li Yao said solemnly, “And I feel this Mist Island is very mysterious. It can actually produce nine willow tree type flora spirits in one place, this is too unbelievable. On this Mist Island, there must be other flora spirits too. There may even be ones stronger than this Willow Tree King.”
Vinina on the Paris side also understood. This cake really was too big.
The two of them could not swallow it alone.
“Vinina, pass this news to your family and get some strong experts over.” Li Yao instructed, “Preferably experts with Black God Suits, or powerful spirit readers. At the very least, they need to be ordinary advanced Battle Gods. As for the others, they are not qualified to get involved.”
The Vulture and Venom Scorpion pair had a very bad reputation.
Aside from a few brothers who had fought alongside them through life and death back then, they did not have many friends, and they had far more enemies.
So, when they encountered this unbelievable treasure island with so many flora spirits, they simply could not swallow it themselves. They could only rely on the Bolenas family. As one of the core families of the HR Alliance, the Bolenas family naturally had some powerful Battle Gods under its support, as well as some Battle Gods with very good relations.
The Bolenas family’s power was naturally much stronger than the Vulture and Venom Scorpion couple.
“I understand, but Yao, I will claim this merit for Candise.” Vinina said.
“No problem, I do not need merit anyway. Could the Bolenas family let me become the family head?” Vulture Li Yao sneered. He was an outsider and could not possibly gain real power within the Bolenas family, so these merits were useless to him.
“Right!” Vinina exclaimed. “Will Luo Feng recognise the flora spirits and notify the Extreme House?”
“No way!”
Vulture Li Yao sneered. “That Luo Feng has been on this Mist Island for a long time. If he could recognise the flora spirits and notify the Extreme House, then the Extreme House would already have arrived. What is more, how many flora spirits have ever appeared in Earth’s history? Most of them were monopolised by Hong, Thunder God, the world’s five great powers, and the like. Very few people know about flora spirits. Only some veteran Battle Gods know a little. Ordinary martial artists do not know at all. How old is Luo Feng? He has been training hard all this time, how would he know these scattered bits of news?”
……
After Vulture Li Yao hung up, Luo Feng, several hundred metres away, quietly sank back into the ground.
“Li Yao, Li Yao, I did not know before.”
“But you just told me yourself.”
Luo Feng returned to the dark cave in the underground rock layer. With the small light from his communications watch, and relying on his astonishing eyesight, he could clearly see everything around the cave.
“Thousand Year Willow Heart? Two effects, one is increasing cell activity, the second is greatly improving the body’s physical condition.” Luo Feng was shocked. Just hearing this little bit of information was already enough to astound people.
Improving physical condition, a serving of Dragon Blood can also do that. Compared with Dragon Blood, who is stronger and who is weaker, it is hard to say.
Greatly increasing cell activity?
This alone is enough to drive people mad. Cell activity is actually the body’s recovery ability. For example, among beasts, if a king level beast like the Earth Dragon King has part of its body chopped off, it can still rapidly regrow at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the severed part grows back.
That is cell activity.
A person with strong cell activity, for example if their internal organs are badly damaged and they cough up blood, perhaps in half a minute their internal organs would be fully healed. For example, if an arm bone is broken, it would also be perfectly healed in a very short time.
The stronger the cell activity, the faster the recovery speed.
“The Thousand Year Willow Heart really is unusual.”
“According to what Li Yao said, that Willow Tree King is even more likely to nurture a ‘Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart’.” Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at his communications watch. Through it, he went online directly and soon entered the martial artist forum of ‘Extreme House’. Luo Feng wanted to enter the general warrior level forum to search for information.
“Hm? The Battle God level forum tag is lit up? I can enter the Battle God level forum now?”
Over these past few months of hard training in the elite training camp, Luo Feng did not know that, since his Black Dragon ranking had entered the top 50 for the first time, the Extreme House had automatically raised his authority level. He was already able to enter the Battle God level forum. In fact, for example, the three directors of the Extreme General House in the base city could also enter the Battle God level forum.
Some people are not Battle Gods, yet they still have authority to enter the Battle God level forum.
Luo Feng was now one of them too.
“The Battle God level forum will definitely have more information.” After entering, Luo Feng quickly used voice input to type the four words ‘flora spirit’, then searched for posts.
Beep.
On the screen of the communications watch, which was about the same as a mobile phone, a list of posts soon appeared. There were actually as many as twenty eight posts, all talking about flora spirits. Although flora spirits were known by very few people, there were still some introductions to be found in this forum, which gathered many Battle Gods.
“The origin of flora spirits does not seem to have a unified view.” Luo Feng read through all 28 posts one by one.
Some people said that flora spirits were produced through special mutation.
Others said that flora spirits evolved after absorbing special energy from the universe and nature.
Still others said that there had already been some flora spirits in ancient times, but after industry became developed, nature was damaged too severely and flora spirits disappeared. Now, after the Great Nirvana Period, beasts are everywhere, but the natural environment is actually much better. The sky is blue with white clouds, and flora spirits also appear.
Of course, the views are not unified.
“But one thing is confirmed. After plants transform and become ‘flora spirits’, as long as you do not get close to them, they will not pose a threat, and each flora spirit can be said to contain the essence of heaven and earth, and all have special effects.” Luo Feng saw the introductions to some flora spirits in the posts.
Thousand Year Willow Heart, Jade Grass Dew, Iron Armour Spirit Pearl, and so on.
However, these treasures were almost all monopolised by the five great powers, the two great houses, and the HR Alliance, and even Battle Gods with great strength could scarcely own them.
“According to what is written here, the effect of Thousand Year Willow Heart on improving physical condition is even stronger than a serving of Dragon Blood. And it can also greatly increase cell activity.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. A serving of Dragon Blood can sell for 80 billion, so what about Thousand Year Willow Heart? No wonder the five great powers and the two great houses all want to fight over it.
And now, there are flora spirits on Mist Island, and it looks like there are many of them.
Heavens.
Paris base city, inside a spacious pointed roof hall, there was a black marble floor, a golden meeting table more than ten metres long, and a total of five black chairs with complicated carvings. At this moment, all five seats were occupied by five old people, four old men and one old woman.
Suddenly.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the entire hall like the tinkling of spring water, and all five of them turned to look toward the main entrance.
“They have arrived.” The silver haired white man sitting in the main seat smiled and said.
A mysterious figure, entirely covered in a black robe, stepped forward step by step. Behind him was a burly barbarian man carrying a shield and a giant sword in one hand. The other person was a thin, pale man with two short knives at his waist.
As soon as these three entered the hall, the whole hall seemed to become a little gloomy.
The black robed man at the front had eyes as deep as the sea.
Immediately, the five old people all stood up from their seats to welcome these three strong experts.
