The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 5: The Mother Peach Tree
Looking at the still green peaches on the peach tree, Shi Mo wiped the clean-looking peaches in his hands, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and took a bite.

The peach was very crisp, yet soft, juicy, and sweet. Shi Mo's eyes lit up. "Hmm, it's much more delicious than the red fruit from Jiuding Tiecha Mountain."

"Moreover, the energy contained is even more pure and rich, and it is full of vitality."

Shi Mo was somewhat surprised and noticed the different peaches fallen from some of the surrounding peach trees.

In addition to the largest type, there are also ones the size of a baby's head with purple stripes, and an even smaller one that is only the size of an apple.

"Peach trees all look the same, but they bear three different kinds of fruit. There are so many peach trees with purple stripes. Could they be flat peach trees?"

Shi Mo, who was somewhat slow to realize the situation, couldn't help but wonder, "Shouldn't the peach trees be planted in the Peach Garden in Heaven?"

"Could it be that there is no Heavenly Palace now? Then what is this place?"

Shi Mo, who was secretly puzzled, suddenly thought of something and turned around to look. He saw a different peach tree growing alone.

It is larger than other peach trees, and its twisted roots make it look very old. Although the innate energy it contains is very pure, it is a little weak.

The whole plant seemed to be withering, with sparse leaves and no fruit. There were no other peach trees around.

"This peach tree should be the innate spiritual root whose roots penetrate deep into the main spiritual vein underground, and all the surrounding peach trees seem to be growing around it."

Looking at this somewhat unique peach tree, Shi Mo couldn't help but think: "If this peach forest is really a peach forest, then this peach tree..."

Shi Mo moved closer to the withering peach tree. With a gleam in his eyes, he placed his hand on the trunk of the tree. He then closed his eyes and allowed his invisible power of perception to penetrate into the tree.
After a while, Shi Mo opened his eyes and couldn't help showing a look of surprise and joy:

"The Xiantian Renshui Peach Mother Tree? I didn't expect that besides the three thousand peach trees, there was actually another peach mother tree. Moreover, the three thousand peach trees all grew from the peach pits that grew out of the peaches that fell to the ground from this peach mother tree."

"However, in order to nurture three thousand peach trees, this mother peach tree has almost exhausted its original power. Not only can it no longer produce peaches, it is even slowly dying," Shi Mo frowned at the thought.

This is a mother peach tree that is more valuable than the three thousand peach trees. It would be a pity if it really died.

"The so-called power of origin has been exhausted. The power of the earth veins is the energy source of the earth, which breeds the vitality of all things. As long as enough power of the earth veins is accumulated to nourish, it should be enough to make up for the loss of the origin of the mother peach tree, right?" Shi Mo pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up.

"Since it's ownerless, then if I take this peach mother tree away, it shouldn't be linked to karma, right?" The three thousand peach trees were involved in too many karmas, but Shi Mo was unwilling to let go of the peach mother tree, which was even more precious and rare.

Anyway, the mother peach tree was here and would die sooner or later, so Shi Mo didn't hesitate at all and directly controlled the power of the earth veins. He first took the mother peach tree underground, and then quickly returned to Jiuding Tiecha Mountain along the earth vein network.

"This venation network, if we study it, we might be able to treat it like a subway and turn it into a special transmission channel or something like that."

With the Wind-Fixing Bead paving the way, Shi Mo, transporting something through the earth vein network for the first time, couldn't help but think of other uses for the earth vein network. Using the escape technique, Shi Mo quickly returned to the cave in Jiuding Tiecha Mountain.

Looking at the mother peach tree in the cave, whose roots were entangled with the jade platform and deep into the underground spiritual vein, Shi Mo couldn't help but feel a headache again:
"Where should I plant it? Directly in this cave? This cave of mine is to be used as a dwelling, and the space is not very big. A mother peach tree would almost fill it up."

Shi Mo thought for a moment, then looked up at the passage that ran through the mountain from the top to the cave, and an idea struck him:
"How about planting it on the top of a mountain? Let its roots penetrate the entire mountain. In this way, as it absorbs the spiritual energy of the earth veins, the entire mountain will be tempered. And my cave dwelling will be enveloped by the endless and surging spiritual energy of the earth veins as the peach mother tree absorbs the power of the earth veins."

The more Shi Mo thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great idea, so he quickly took action and moved the mother peach tree to the top of the mountain and planted it.

And the top-grade innate spiritual roots like the Pantao Mother Tree are also very spiritual. After quickly taking root, they strive to penetrate the mountain, trying to absorb the spiritual energy of the earth veins in the main spiritual veins at the foot of the mountain.

"No, even though I've sorted out the underground main spiritual vein network of Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, the spiritual energy in it is not much stronger than the main spiritual vein in Kunlun Fairyland where the peach mother tree grew. It's undoubtedly unrealistic to expect it to make up for the loss of the peach mother tree's essence."

Shi Mo, who discovered this problem, quickly made a decision:

"It seems that I need to sort out the network of earth veins that connect to a larger area, so that the earth vein spiritual energy of the main spiritual vein under my Nine Ding Tiecha Mountain can reach a sufficiently rich level."

So, Shi Mo soon became busy again, and began to dredge the wider area around Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, which could quickly dredge the earth vein network.
"Traveling through the prehistoric world, I'm almost like someone unclogging underground pipes. Sigh, what a tough life! But for the sake of the Mother Peach Tree, and to build the Nine Cauldrons and Iron Fork Mountain into the most advanced cave abode in the prehistoric world, I'll endure the hardship! After all, there's sweetness before bitterness!"

After a busy period, Shi Mo, who was secretly complaining in his heart, secretly encouraged himself.

Finally, after sorting out the earth veins that connected about two-thirds of the vast fan-shaped area around Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, Shi Mo discovered another problem.

In the remaining one-third, the earth vein network was severely damaged, and the farther away from Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, the more severe the damage.

"How could the damage be so severe? Who destroyed it? Could it be the conflict between the Dao and Demon that broke out in the West, between Hongjun and Luohou? It seems that the entire Western vein has suffered devastating damage."

At the periphery of the already connected earth vein network around Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, Shi Mo could not help but feel a bit overwhelmed when he sensed the fragmented earth vein network further away.

"The damage is so severe, it will be much more troublesome and time-consuming to repair it!"

"However, if these venation networks are not repaired, the venation networks in the vast area surrounding Jiuding Tiecha Mountain will be like a large net with a large area of ​​holes on the periphery. The efficiency of gathering venation energy will undoubtedly be greatly reduced."

Helpless Shi Mo could only continue the difficult and troublesome repair work.

Fortunately, in this process, constantly consuming and restoring mana is also a process of cultivation. Shi Mo just treats it as a retreat and hard training, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, not long after the connection and repair of the earth vein network began, Shi Mo discovered that a special energy quietly appeared in his body.
