Chapter 697: The Disease of the Heavenly Tree
After Fairy Qianmo heard what Qin Ming said.

She bit her lower lip lightly. It was obvious that she had finally seen Qin Ming again and did not want to trouble him at this moment.

But it happened suddenly.

In addition, Fairy Qianmo knew that Qin Ming had extraordinary attainments in the way of spiritual plants.

So, she nodded gently and said, "Then I will have to trouble Senior Li again."

Next, due to time urgency.

Fairy Qianmo said as she led Qin Ming to the Tree Heart Temple:
"Then again, if the current situation can be resolved, Senior Li might be able to exchange for the Taiyi Yin Jade this time."

"Oh? What does Fairy Qianmo mean by this?" Qin Ming couldn't help but asked in surprise.

He didn't expect that there would be a turn for the better in this matter, and it didn't seem impossible to get it.

Fairy Qianmo explained: "The person who I mentioned earlier who deposited the three pieces of Taiyi Yin Jade in our Chamber of Commerce was none other than Senior Fengqi."

"So that's how it is. But what does this matter have to do with what happens next?" Qin Ming asked.

Fairy Qianmo said: "Senior Fengqi is an elder from the upper echelons of the Mujing Clan who was sent to take turns guarding the Qingqiong Tree City. But decades ago, this Qingqiong mother tree, which had grown for tens of thousands of years, suddenly fell ill."

"It's just that outsiders haven't noticed it. In order to save the sacred tree, Senior Fengqi went to a dangerous place to find a spiritual object to save the mother tree. That's why he temporarily borrowed a treasure from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Now he has returned to the city, but my subordinates just reported that the situation is serious, which means that the situation of the Qingqiongtian Tree is obviously worse than before."

"If the situation at the Tree Heart Temple worsens, I'm afraid the entire Immortal City will face unpredictable changes."

Fairy Qianmo also told Qin Ming the truth, that she had also been very worried about this matter before.

After all, she had just taken office as the chief deacon of the Jiuling Chamber of Commerce not long ago, and such a thing happened. It was a heavy blow to her.

"Senior Li is proficient in the way of spiritual plants. I wonder if he can save one or two?"

Qin Ming did not agree immediately after hearing this, but asked: "So, the grade of this Qingqiongtian tree should not be low, right?"

"That's right. The Azure Sky Tree, as the pillar that supports the entire Tree City and the source of spiritual energy, reached the sixth-grade upper level ten thousand years ago." Fairy Qianmo replied, "And before that, we also asked many spiritual plant masters to come and see the doctor, but to no avail."

"A sixth-grade, top-grade divine tree? No wonder no one can do anything to this tree." Qin Ming was also surprised, "It actually has the miraculous effect of gathering spiritual energy."

"That's right. The biggest feature of the Qingqiong Sky Tree is that it can gather the energy of the earth veins within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. It can even condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth floating in the void. This effect is even many times stronger than the sixth-level spirit gathering formation." Fairy Qianmo said, revealing pride in her words.

This was also the first time that Qin Ming heard of a spiritual tree with such a powerful spirit-gathering effect. "Then this Qingqiongtian tree must have an extraordinary origin, right?"

“Senior Li is right. This celestial tree was originally a bound spiritual plant of an ancestor of our Mujing clan. It has been planted here since that ancestor passed away. After tens of thousands of years of development, it has grown to such a scale.” Qianmo explained.

Qin Ming nodded after hearing this. After hearing some of the stories about this spiritual plant, he gained some new knowledge.

"Although I have some experience in the way of spiritual plants, I am not very confident when it comes to such a high-level sacred tree. Let's wait and see."

When Fairy Qianmo saw that he was willing to help her, she gave him a look of gratitude.

"Don't worry, Senior Li. Regardless of whether this succeeds or not, I will talk to Senior Fengqi and see if I can ask him to trade you a piece of Taiyi Yin Jade."

"That would be the best." Qin Ming also smiled slightly.

As they were talking, Fairy Qianmo brought Qin Ming to the trunk of the towering tree. The space inside was extremely spacious, and there were even various halls, but it did not seem to affect the growth of this sacred tree.

After a while.

The two of them stood on a teleportation array, and a burst of green rune light lit up before their eyes.

hum!
When Qin Ming opened his eyes again, he found that he had been teleported to the top of the giant tree.

It was the tree canopy area that he couldn't see with his divine sense even though he was outside.

And it is still in the main trunk, but the place is heavily guarded. There are several guards above the Nascent Soul stage standing at every distance, and all kinds of restrictions are everywhere. It is obviously an extremely important place for the Mujing Clan.

Fairy Qianmo led him out of the formation, and after passing through a long corridor, they came to an ancient and time-honored hall.

There are guards in the Spirit Transformation Stage outside, standing on both sides like statues, holding magical treasures.

When he saw Fairy Qianmo coming, he bowed, took out a wooden seal from his body, and threw it at the door of the hall, lifting the ban.

This hall is over a thousand feet in size and is filled with an extremely rich spiritual energy.

As soon as Qin Mingguang got closer, he felt a heart-stirring vitality and rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushing towards him, causing every pore of his body to relax involuntarily.

"Sixth-level spiritual vein environment."

"It turns out that the spiritual energy of the entire Tree City is all gathered here, and then flows through the branches to various areas of the Immortal City. It is truly a blessing from heaven and earth."

Fairy Qianmo introduced: "Senior Li, this is the core area of ​​Qingqiongtian City, the Tree Heart Temple."

When the two walked into the interior, they found that there was another world inside, like a huge cave palace.

In the very center there is a turquoise spiritual pool with a three-meter-tall emerald-like spiritual plant growing on it, emitting the brilliance and charm of colored glaze, and there is a lingering hazy glow.

The branches and leaves appear transparent, and there is even an astonishing inspiration flowing inside.

It's just that among the lush green leaves, there seem to be some yellowed and withered leaves, which are very discordant.
The vitality of the entire spiritual tree seemed to be gradually fading away, and it was obvious that something had gone wrong.

At this moment, inside the empty Tree Heart Temple, several monks were observing and sizing up the spiritual tree.

Fairy Qianmo brought Qin Ming to the gray-robed old man who was the leader of the group and greeted him respectfully:

"Junior Qianmo, greetings to Senior Feng!"

Qin Ming was also shocked when he saw the old man in gray robe. He saw that this man was vigorous, with a resolute face, without a trace of old age. He had an unfathomable aura and was intimidating without even getting angry.

He was even more powerful than Elder Lin, whom he had met in Tianxing City, and Lord Lingtian, whom he had fought against before.

"Well, you are here." Elder Fengqi nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on Qin Ming again.

Qin Ming suddenly felt a powerful divine thought sweeping over him, but he was still quite confident in his own methods.

Even the elder of the Mujing tribe opposite him would definitely not be able to see through his true colors.

"Who is this young human friend?" Elder Fengqi asked Fairy Qianmo with a frown.

Fairy Qianmo hurriedly introduced: "Reporting to Senior Feng, this is Senior Li, an old acquaintance of mine."

Afterwards, she briefly explained to Qin Ming how she met him.

After hearing that it was Qin Ming who killed the demon spies and resolved the crisis in Wansen Fairy City.

The Wind Rider elder had a better impression of Qin Ming, a human cultivator who had reached the Divine Realm. He nodded slowly and said:

“Well, I see that you are so young, but you have already reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and your magic power is far beyond that of the same level. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are comparable to the Perfect Spiritual Transformation Realm. It is only a matter of time before you break through. This is truly precious!”

"Thank you for your compliment, Senior Feng." Qin Ming also clasped his hands and bowed in return.

Elder Fengqi said calmly, "I heard that Young Friend Li is quite knowledgeable about spiritual plants. Can you see if it is possible to cure this Qingqiong Mother Tree?"

"If you have a way, you can propose any conditions."

Qin Ming's heart moved when he heard this. He was waiting for the other party to say this.

"In that case, I will give it a try." Qin Ming agreed. He was very confident in his spiritual plant ability, and if things didn't work out, he had a backup.

As long as the vitality of the sixth-level sacred tree in front of him is not cut off, Qin Ming has a way to save it and restore it to its original state.

However, even in order to achieve his goal, Qin Ming had to hide his shortcomings.

Therefore, it cannot seem easy to cure this Qingqiong mother tree.

The other people in the hall were all spiritual plant masters from the Mujing clan who were invited by Elder Fengqi.

Among them there are even two sixth-rank spiritual plant masters.

One of them was a short old man with a red face, and the other was a middle-aged man with red hair. Both of them were in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which showed their exquisite attainments in spiritual plants.

However, Qin Ming had heard from Fairy Qianmo that some of the bound spiritual plants of their Mujing clan had a great boost in the practice of spiritual plants.

It is estimated that these two people have such profound attainments in spiritual plants even though their cultivation has not reached the Void Refinement Stage, which is probably related to the role of the bound spiritual plants.

But these things are their secrets, and they probably won’t reveal them to outsiders.

When those members of the Mujing Clan saw Qin Ming coming, there was a certain amount of disdain in their eyes.

If even the two sixth-rank divine masters couldn't handle it, then Qin Ming, a mere human divine cultivator, would probably be unable to do anything about it.

However, because Qin Ming was an acquaintance of Fairy Qianmo, the chief deacon of the Jiuling Chamber of Commerce, they did not offend Qin Ming on the spot.

Still with a smile on her face, she greeted him symbolically:
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Li is a high-level spiritual plant master of the human race. Nice to meet you!"

"I wonder what level of spiritual plant skills Fellow Daoist Li has reached now?"

"Thank you for being so polite, fellow Taoists. My skills are limited and I have just reached the fifth-grade upper level." Qin Ming also bowed to them slightly implicitly.

Hearing that Qin Ming was young but already a fifth-rank upper-grade spiritual plant master, the people from the Mujing clan all looked skeptical.

at this time.

“Alas! That’s really a pity.” One of the young spiritual plant masters in yellow robes said, “Even the two sixth-level spiritual plant masters of our clan are helpless against the disease of the Azure Sky Mother Tree.”

"Even Senior Feng has ventured deep into the secret land of danger several times over the past few decades to search for the legendary 'Source Wood Alcohol Liquid' and water this tree, but it has no effect."

"You should know that this 'Source Wood Alcohol Liquid' is a sixth-level spiritual liquid of heaven and earth that helps to boost the vitality of wood attributes and nourish the origin. Even so, it has no effect."

"If you, Li Daoyou, are not at the level of level 6 or above, I'm afraid your trip would be in vain!"

"You must be very careful! If the disease is cured, it will be fine. But if it fails and something goes wrong, it will affect the entire Qingqiong Tree City!"

The other party's implication was that Qin Ming should give up when he saw the difficulty and not take on a job if he didn't have the skills.

Qin Ming frowned when he heard this, and just when he was about to speak.

But the short red-faced old man said calmly: "Not necessarily. After all, everyone has a different focus. The human race's spiritual plant masters may have a way. Fellow Daoist Luo, don't underestimate the world's cultivators."

"Haha! Master Guan is right!" Upon seeing the red-faced old man speak, the young cultivator named Luo immediately smiled and said.

After saying that, he glanced at Qin Ming imperceptibly, revealing a strange light in his eyes, which he then hid well.

Qin Ming's powerful divine sense naturally sensed the other party's spying.

He was also puzzled. They had never met each other before, so why was the conversation directed at him?

However, Qin Ming didn't think much about it at the moment.

It was not difficult for him to see it from the reactions of several people from the Mujing clan and the expression of Elder Fengqi.

At this moment, the people of the Mujing Clan were indeed not optimistic about the possibility that Qin Ming, a human spiritual plant master, would be able to heal the Qingqiong Mother Tree in front of them.

Fairy Qianmo looked at Qin Ming with her beautiful eyes, but she was relatively calm and steady, as if she trusted him very much.

Over the years, she has grown into an independent chief deacon of the Chamber of Commerce, so naturally her state of mind has changed a lot.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming walked to the meter-tall lush spiritual plant and released his divine sense to observe it carefully.

After a long time.

A ray of green light flashed across the depths of Qin Ming's pupils, and then retracted. He had already figured out the reason why this mother tree was showing signs of withering vitality.

But he did not tell the reason on the spot, but remained silent and pretended to be silent and puzzled.

Seeing this, all the members of the Mujing tribe present looked as if they had expected it.

They didn't expect Qin Ming to be able to see anything, let alone heal the sacred tree.

Qin Ming turned around, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry that I am so ignorant that I can't tell why this spiritual plant lost its vitality."

After these words were spoken, even Fairy Qianmo's expression dimmed.

She also didn't expect that even with Senior Li's attainments in spiritual plants, he was helpless against this Qingqiong Mother Tree.

Elder Fengqi was originally still somewhat hopeful, but after hearing Qin Ming's reply, he frowned.

But he didn't say much.

After all, how could a fifth-level spiritual plant master understand a spiritual plant disease that even a sixth-level spiritual plant master could not diagnose?

Not long after.

Qin Ming and Fairy Qianmo said goodbye to Elder Fengqi and several spiritual plant masters and walked out of the Tree Heart Temple.

As soon as she came out, Fairy Qianmo seemed to have something to ask.

"Senior Li, even you can't cure the mother tree?"

Qin Ming glanced at her first and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. I'll tell you when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Qianmo was stunned for a moment.

He then took Qin Ming and used the formation to return to the villa cave on the lower level.

Qin Ming raised his hand and set up an isolation barrier. He did not mention anything about curing diseases or healing trees.

Instead, he asked her with a very serious expression: "Fairy Qianmo, have you offended anyone?"

"Ah? That doesn't seem to be the case?" Fairy Qianmo was a little confused for a moment, "Why would Senior Li ask this?"

Qin Ming said seriously, "In fact, I have already seen the disease of the mother tree. Someone secretly tampered with it."

"It was even related to Senior Fengqi, so I didn't dare to tell him about it on the spot."

Qingqiongshu City is a branch of the Jiuling Chamber of Commerce and a major trading city. If something goes wrong, Fairy Qianmo, as the chief deacon, will certainly be implicated.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Qin Ming to guess some of the key points.
