Chapter 755 Lightning Strike on the Dragon Blood Tree

Looking down from above the small world, all the spiritual plants lay prostrate outwards, like surging waves.

Several Golden Core demon beasts swayed and staggered in the surging wind, while the golden-haired creature in the white spirit field burrowed into the ground to hide.

Beneath the Gathering Yuan Tree, Ji An closed his eyes and continued to circulate the Five Elements Revolving Scripture.

Because the spiritual energy vortex had been absorbed in a very short time, it took quite a while for it to re-condense into a spiritual energy vortex.

At this moment, the tamed beasts flew over, glanced at their master from afar, and did not approach.

The five-colored deer bared its teeth, "You guys need to step up your game. Master's cultivation is about to reach a new level. If you keep dragging him down, he'll be disliked."

Especially for combat-type beast tamers, think about it: if danger were to arise now, would you protect your master or would your master protect you?

It has lived a comfortable life over the years, with no shortage of various spiritual fruits. Its powerful bloodline has played a role, and all its resources have been transformed into a part of its strength. Now it has reached the sixth level of the Golden Core stage.

It glanced at the green deer, curled its lip in disdain. This son was only at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage, and had not inherited any of its excellent bloodline.

Its gaze swept over Big Yellow and Golden Feathered Eagle, its eyes filled with disdain. These two fools had obtained a lot of resources and had only broken through to the Golden Core stage a few years ago.

Thinking of the Spirit-Seeking Rat and the Azure Water Turtle still observing from the Yuan Dynasty stage, it sighed softly in its heart:
'Being invincible is truly lonely, like snow falling.'

It was the shortest-lived beast under its master's command, yet it achieved the greatest success.

As the power of one's bloodline is continuously explored, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is not easy, but it is not difficult either.

When enough has been accumulated, everything will fall into place naturally.

The beasts lowered their heads and remained silent, for the other party had higher cultivation and stronger fists.

The golden-feathered eagle muttered to itself, 'So what if he was born into a good family? He's so arrogant!'

The overwhelming sourness overflowed from my chest; the bloodline of the Five-Colored Deer surpassed even the Heavenly Grade, so of course it couldn't compare.

Half a day later, Ji An stabilized his cultivation and ended his practice. A crescent moon appeared in his eyes, radiating a silvery light.

The strange phenomenon lasted only a moment before disappearing. He sensed the nascent soul in the Guanghan Palace becoming more solidified, and stood up with a smile.

Upon seeing this, the five-colored deer flew over first, saying, "Congratulations, Master, on making another great step forward. We will definitely work even harder to share your burdens in the future."

The Azure Deer, the Golden-feathered Eagle, and the Rock-armored Bear flew over on a demonic wind, saying, "Congratulations, Master."

The golden retriever came running over, squeaking loudly!

The other beasts could talk, and it was getting anxious.

"Haha, it feels weird to be congratulated by you all."

Ji An took out a top-grade third-tier Fire Immortal Apricot and tossed it out, saying, "Here you go."

He then took out several kinds of spiritual fruits and distributed them to the other beasts.

The five-colored deer raised its head and bit into the fiery red apricot. After chewing a few times, it used its tongue to roll out the seed and swallowed the fruit.
"Thank you for the gift, Master."

It revealed a furtive expression and transmitted its voice:

"Master, I saw that a dark, black spirit tree in the crimson spirit field has ripened peaches. Could you please give me one?"

It blinked its big eyes, which gleamed with a cunning light.

It has to report what kind of spiritual fruit it eats first, because it dares not steal any, for fear of being beaten to death.

Ji An chuckled, took a few steps forward, and gently patted the beast's forehead:
"Dream on! Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

That's a fourth-tier spirit fruit! Aren't you afraid of overeating it? I need it, so don't touch it.

The beast tamer was referring to the lightning-struck peach wood, which he planned to consume himself, firstly to enhance his magical power, and secondly to refine his body.

After years of research, he is now quite confident that he can break through to the Vajra realm with the Immovable King Technique, and the fruit of the lightning-struck spiritual peach is a very important part of that.

The five-colored deer grinned, revealing its neat set of teeth, and said mischievously:
"I was born to fly."

Ji An mounted his mount and said, "Take me to the lightning-struck peach wood you mentioned."

"Yes, sir," the five-colored deer swung its short tail and flew up on auspicious five-colored clouds. It used its eyes to urge the other beasts not to follow.

After the five-colored deer flew away, Big Yellow muttered to the green deer:
"Youyou, your dad is too domineering."

The green deer bared its teeth, "Yellow Fur, how dare you call me 'Youyou'! Are you itching for a beating? Haven't I disciplined you lately?"

The golden eagle acted as a peacemaker, saying, "Let's all live in peace. At least you two have names, but my master hasn't given me one yet."

It was bitter inside. The spirit-seeking rat was called Golden Fur, and the blue water turtle was called Blue Shell. It was the only one without a legal status.

Big Yellow shook its round head and said in a deep voice:

"If it doesn't have a name, we'll come up with one ourselves. How about 'Little Gold'?"

"Why are you called Big Yellow and I called Little Gold?!"

Big Yellow immediately retorted, "If it's not called Little Gold, should it be called Big Eagle?"

Qinglu chuckled twice. "I think calling him Xiao Jin is quite nice."

The golden-feathered eagle stared sharply at the rock-armored bear, wanting to slap it across the face with its wings. 'It would be better to call it Little Golden.'

It shook its head. "I'll go outside and take a look."

If I stay here any longer, I'll really live up to the name 'Little Jin'.

A few breaths later, the five-colored deer landed beside the peach tree struck by lightning.

Ji An jumped to the ground and found that there was indeed a fruit that was about to ripen and was about to fall.

At this moment, the five-colored deer shook its head, and a crimson spiritual light emanated from its antlers, enveloping the peach that was flashing with lightning.

A moment later, the peach detached itself from the branch that was clinging to it and fell down.

Ji An raised his hand and steadily caught the peach, smiling as he said:

"The other spiritual fruits will ripen one after another, that's wonderful."

He refined all the five-colored flowers in his hands into pills. In the end, eight batches of medicinal materials were used to refine a total of thirty-four Five-Color Pills, of which twenty-seven were of the highest quality.

He only had eight high-quality Five-Flower Pills left, and he was about to run out of food.

Now, with the replenishment of the lightning-struck spirit peaches, they can sustain themselves for a while longer. The five-colored deer revealed a fawning expression, "Master, the spirit peaches are useful. If that lightning-struck dragon blood tree bears fruit in the future, could you reward me with one?"

The vital energy of this spiritual fruit is exceptionally rich, making it perfect for me.

The Spirit Peach was just a pretext; its ultimate goal was the mutated Dragon Blood Fruit.

Ji An glanced sideways at the beast tamer, "You certainly know how to pick one. I can promise to give you one when you break through to the Nascent Soul level."

Over the years, he used the Divine Lightning of the Wood to strike over 100,000 second-tier top-grade spiritual trees and obtained three lightning-struck trees.

The other two trees are the Red Cloud Pine and the Dark Moon Jade Tree. Although the proportions are a bit disproportionate, he is already quite satisfied.

His initial plan was to spend ten years verifying the results; if he couldn't obtain a single lightning-struck tree, it meant there was a problem with his approach.

The Crimson Cloud Pine was the second lightning-struck tree he had acquired five years ago, and it was now at the third-tier top-grade level.

Three years ago, I obtained the Lightning-Struck Dragon Blood Tree, which is now a Tier 3 High-Grade tree; half a year ago, I obtained the Lightning-Struck Nether Moon Jade Tree, which is now a Tier 2 Top-Grade spirit tree.

He is still working hard to obtain more lightning-struck wood, as the more of this high-level spirit wood the better.

The attempt to transplant level-two spirit trees from the outside world into the gourd world failed several years ago. He transplanted more than four thousand trees in succession, and they could live for two or three months, but eventually they all withered and died.

The five-colored deer was overjoyed, "Thank you for your reward, Master! Once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will be the sharpest spear in your hand, spreading your fame throughout the cultivation world!"

"Heh, you're quite the expert at making promises to short sellers."

"Absolutely no exaggeration. Master will see how I perform then."

At this moment, the golden eagle flew over and called out:

“Master, there is a golden sword for communication outside the cave.”

The five-colored deer immediately volunteered:

"I'll go get it for my master."

It flew away at full speed, its body transforming into a ball of five-colored light and disappearing into the sky.

Soon, the five-colored deer flew back, carrying a golden talisman sword in its mouth.

It slightly opened its mouth, and the golden sword that transmitted messages flew out like a startled bird. Ji An raised his hand to catch it, extended his divine sense to read the information inside, and his expression became solemn.

"I'm going to Chaoyang Peak."

As he spoke, he released a golden light that stretched across the ground, and a long, multicolored rainbow connected to the edge of the small world.

The golden eagle followed and flew away, wanting to fly outside for a while, as the space here was too small to maneuver freely.

The five-colored deer's words were too hurtful; I need to go for a drive.

Ji An stepped out of the cave and saw the light, which resembled dusk, and frowned slightly.
"I've only been gone for half a month, and the demonic energy has already accumulated to this extent."

In order to break through his current limitations, he has not gone out to absorb the essence of the sun and moon these days.

Chaoyang Peak, Wuji Palace.

Lin Jiuxiao looked around at everyone and said:

"Gentlemen, does anyone have anything to add regarding the battle plan?"

They discussed how to respond if a full-scale war broke out, and they already had an initial plan.

"What combat plan?"

Ji An stepped into the main hall, just as he overheard what had just been said.

Everyone seated in the hall turned their heads in unison, and upon seeing who it was, they all stood up, cupped their hands, and said:

"Greetings, True Lord."

"No gift."

Lin Jiuxiao pointed to his seat and said:

"True Lord, please take a seat."

Ji An waved his hand, "I'll sit next to you."

A sect leader must have enough authority to avoid taking someone else's place in a crowd.

As he spoke, he used his telekinesis to grab a chair and sat down.

"What's going on now?"

Master Yuxiao coughed and said with a chuckle:

"My Lord, before we proceed, I would like to ask a question."

An hour ago, Lin Lan and Han Shan went to Crimson Flame Peak to look for you, only to find the cave tightly closed.

Everyone is curious, have you broken through your cultivation level?

Everyone instinctively held their breath, as if afraid of disturbing the peace of the moment.

Ji An smiled, "Yes, I've broken through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage."

This is good news that boosts morale; there's no need to hide it.

"Congratulations, True Lord!" everyone said in unison, their faces beaming with joy.

With the sect's strongest member improving their cultivation, everyone felt a little safer.

Qin Yan, who was initially quite proud of himself for reaching the threshold of the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, is now humble and modest.

With such outstanding examples before him, how could this piece of rubble have the right to be arrogant?

"Congratulations! I see that everyone's aura has improved. The sect is thriving, which is a great blessing."

Ji An paused and continued:
"Tell me about the recent situation."

In recent years, he has rarely gone out. Apart from giving a lecture once every three years, he only meets with his two disciples in his cave at Chiyan Peak, so he is relatively isolated from information.
