At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

In order to avoid attracting attention.

The Grand Elder transplanted this four-hundred-year-old Red Sandalwood Spirit Tree into her secluded cultivation cave.

This place has the most abundant Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the entire spiritual vein.

It is located directly above the spirit stone mine.

But the Grand Elder never expected that shortly after transplanting it, this Red Sandalwood Spirit Tree would suddenly come to life.

Its roots began to undergo amazing changes,

resembling agile, purplish-black pythons, they began to frantically extend in all directions.

Many of the array restrictions set by the Grand Elder seemed to have no effect on it.

The roots grew extremely fast,

and in the blink of an eye, they penetrated deep into the ground.

Subsequently,

in the shocked gazes of the outer sect disciples responsible for mining spirit stones,

they tightly wrapped around the spirit stone mine.

When the Grand Elder arrived,

she was quite surprised to see this unprecedented scene.

She discovered that

the roots of the Red Sandalwood Spirit Tree were tightly integrated with the spirit stone mine.

Strands of spiritual energy seemed to be drawn into the purplish-black vines.

The Grand Elder couldn't understand why a spiritual plant would produce such a reaction after coming into contact with a spirit stone mine.

This had never happened before.

In the end, the Grand Elder couldn't bear to destroy this century-old spirit tree that she had obtained with great difficulty.

She joined forces with Sword Chen, the Fire Spirit Peak Elder, and a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators,

quietly eliminating all the eyewitness disciples on the scene.

And under the pretext that the spiritual vein had dried up,

she directed Guangji Temple to move away from this place.

In the days that followed,

the Grand Elder searched everywhere, scouring ancient books,

but still couldn't figure out what exactly was going on.

However.

After reading through the ancient books,

she did discover a rather interesting fragment of a spell.

According to legend,

in the Primordial Era,

these five-hundred-year-old Red Sandalwood Spirit Trees, in addition to being used to make puppets,

were also the core main material for those great power cultivators to refine their avatars.

This news immediately made the Grand Elder feel pleasantly surprised.

The importance of an avatar,

any cultivator, perhaps, has heard of it more or less.

For cultivators of any realm,

mastering this high-level spell is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.

It's just that,

the refining method and auxiliary materials of this spell, with the passage of time,

have gradually been lost in the long river of history.

Only some ancient ruins

still bury some incomplete chapters of refining avatars.

Because of this,

the Grand Elder was even more reluctant to pick this tree too early.

She had been patiently counting the days, and only when the age of this Red Sandalwood Spirit Tree had exceeded five hundred years did she decide to take action.

Originally,

there were a total of seven outer sect elders who knew about this.

But as time passed, and the years changed.

Under the turmoil in the entire Junnan region in recent years,

only three of the seven elders are left now.

Even so.

The Grand Elder did not reveal this matter to others any further.

After all, with one more cultivator knowing,

this five-hundred-year-old spirit tree would have to be divided into one more share.

This was quite unfavorable for the three of them.

Moreover.

The Grand Elder felt that

two Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivators, plus her, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, would be enough.

After all.

Although this tree does have the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is

not like a cultivator, with independent spiritual intelligence.

The three of them have battle experience far exceeding their current cultivation.

The cultivation attribute of two of them also hard counters this spirit plant.

Although the Grand Elder did not have the experience of dealing with a spirit plant that had become refined, after careful consideration and comparison, she still felt that this matter was feasible.

After acting obedient,

the Fire Spirit Peak Elder rubbed his hands and asked with a flattering expression:

"Hehe, Grand Elder, is what you said back then true?

Can this five-hundred-year-old Red Sandalwood Spirit Tree really be refined into the legendary avatar?"

"Didn't I let you see the spell chapter for refining the avatar?

What? Are you suspecting that this seat is deceiving you?"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Peak Elder's

complexion changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand in panic:

"Dare not! I have always deeply believed in what you say, Grand Elder.

If the spell for refining the avatar requires six-hundred-year-old material, wouldn't it be a waste if we pick this tree now?

Junior's intention is to ask the Grand Elder to confirm it again and again.

Anyway, we have waited so many years, and it's not like we are short of this one hundred years, right?"

After hearing this, the Grand Elder sneered in her heart.

If the spell for refining the avatar was not incomplete and required other cultivators to try with their lives,

how could she have told this technique to others?

The Grand Elder knew the principle that it is better to lure with benefits than to reason.

With a wave of her hand, two gray jade slips had already appeared in her hand.

"You can rest assured, the complete spell chapter is here.

Once we deal with that old tree, this seat will naturally not treat you badly."

At the moment of seeing the jade slip,

even the Sword Chen Elder could not help but have a fiery gaze at this time.

The corner of Dou Qi's young girl's mouth slightly raised into a smile.

"Alright, enough idle talk, hurry up and get to work."

At this time.

The three had come to the vicinity of the central area.

Purplish-black vines crisscrossed, like tigers blocking the road in front of several people.

The Fire Spirit Peak Elder's enthusiasm has been completely mobilized.

With a wave of his hand, an orange-red gourd magic weapon had floated in mid-air.

His lips moved slightly, and as a magic formula was chanted.

The gourd magic weapon trembled slightly, and a line of fire suddenly spewed out from the mouth of the gourd, shrouding those purplish-black vines.

Most of the cultivators in the Immortal Trace Valley could not understand why Guangji Temple suddenly

cared so much about this abandoned spiritual vein.

They even dispatched three outer sect elder-level Foundation Establishment powerhouses to guard the scene.

However, Li Lan, who knew the truth about the Immortal Trace Valley, had a faint answer in his heart.

The reason why Guangji Temple is so abnormal may be inseparable from that A-Hua.

It might even be that they are aiming for

the spirit stone mine that has not been completely mined, and the five-hundred-year-old Red Sandalwood Spirit Tree.

Thinking of this,

Li Lan couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

Regardless of Guangji Temple's true purpose,

Li Lan was very clear that his good days were over.

In the future, he would inevitably not be able to monopolize this spirit stone mine and mine spirit stones unscrupulously.

He thought that with his current strength,

it was impossible to always enjoy such a good thing alone.

As the most important cultivation resource in the immortal cultivation world, spiritual veins

sooner or later, more powerful cultivators would discover the abnormality here and force him to give way.

Li Lan had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

But what he didn't expect was that

this day would come so quickly.

However, despite his feelings, Li Lan

was not too worried about gains and losses.

Being able to experience more than a year of not lacking spirit stones in the Qi Refining Stage,

compared to most cultivators in the same realm, he has already been far ahead.

Li Lan knew very well when to advance and retreat.

Immediately, he wisely prepared to withdraw the bean soldier who was staying near the spirit stone mine.

But just at this moment,

anomalies arose again.
