--- Chapter 174 ---
Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
According to some ancient texts, this Ancient Tree is the only one that grew in this world. Not to mention, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree possessed intelligence and would hide deep underground after it appeared.
And it would only appear in the world when it was ready.
Of course, there is a reason why people call the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree one of the greatest treasures in the world. It can allow someone to become a Sheng(Saint) immediately!
Yes, you heard that right.
These were not empty words. The interior of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was the Bodhisattva Heart. Those who obtained it would have their heart transformed into a Bodhisattva Heart, and becoming a saint would be a simple task.
It was not mere rumor because an old expert had possessed such good luck. After swallowing the Bodhisattva Heart, this untalented two-star Dou Venerate broke through all the obstacles in his advancement. Five short years later, he reached the Dou Saint Realm, shaking the entire continent in that era!
This kind of divine effect caused everyone to go crazy.
So, whoever managed to obtain the Bodhisattva Heart had a direct passage to advance to the Dou Saint Realm, the current peak level of this world!
Moreover, even the Bodhisattva Heart "unfortunately." taken from the picture, the slightly inferior Bodhisattva Seed would also increase the chances of successfully advancing to the Dou Saint Realm.
Although it was not as terrifying as the Bodhisattva Heart, it still possessed an irresistible allure to those at the peak of the Dou Venerate Realm because the breakthrough to the Half-Saint Realm was too hard and dangerous.
Some experts at the peak of the Dou Venerate class might not be able to reach that level even after a lifetime. At this moment, a Bodhisattva Seed would make them go insane.
In summary, the temptation of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to peak experts had reached a crazy stage. One could imagine what kind of a great uproar this news would stir in the Central Plains.
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would not continue to exist in the world forever. After it had spat out its Bodhisattva Seeds, it would once again sink into the land and rest. It would only break out of the land after gathering its energy, but no one knew when it would appear.
...
"Bodhisattva Ancient Tree..." Baek Ain murmured while drinking an orange juice.
Truthfully, Baek Ain doesn't really need Bodhisattva Heart as he entered Dou Saint Realm a while ago.
What he needed was another treasure that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree could provide.
Yes, something that could arouse his interest.
Based on the records of some ancient books, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree possessed three treasures.
The first was the Bodhisattva Heart.
The second was the Bodhisattva Seed.
And lastly, the third was to comprehend the nature of the world through the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
It was not difficult to comprehend the first two treasures. Both treasures were tangible things owned by the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
However, the third was a little vague and imaginary.
This third treasure is something Baek Ain wants.
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was "actually." called the knowledge reincarnation tree.
Since Baek Ain entered 1-Star Dou Saint Realm, he could remember more about the story. Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was "widely." rumored to have a mysterious effect that allowed one to experience 100 reincarnations. Those who had undergone such reincarnations were "seemingly." able to step into the Dou God Realm.
Although this was only a rumor, countless experts dreamed of it and went mad because of this vague legend.
After all, A Dou Di was the ultimate realm that existed only in legends!
In the original story, Xiao Yan obtained a chance to experience one hundred Reincarnations from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and solidified his path to becoming a Dou God, developing himself into the infamous Flame Emperor.
It would be a dumb move if Baek Ain didn't seize such a chance.
Thinking about it, Baek Ain couldn't help but laugh internally and hoped he could get some good treasures when using Sign In at the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
"What are you thinking?" Qing Lin asked while placing a piece of meat roast on his plate. "Your moods seem livelier all of a sudden."
Baek Ain smiled at her and replied, "Hmm... It is something that might help you enter Saint Realm."
"Eh?" Qing Lin was bewildered.
Is there something that good in this world?
Baek Ain shook his head and explained Bodhisattva Ancient Tree through sound transmission, watching Qing Lin's eyes widen in surprise. Her little mouth opened slightly, trembling upon knowing about such an unbelievable treasure.
Well, The shocked expression on her face looks very cute.
Baek Ain chuckled heartfully, causing the other ladies to feel complicated in their hearts.
"I'm full." Yao Ling'er placed her chopsticks down.
"Me too." Gu Xun'er mumbled softly. After seeing Baek Ain and Qing Lin, she lost her appetite.
Only Huo Zhi still elegantly ate her food. She needed so much energy to burn and master the Fire Extermination Body. Although she felt jealous like her fellow disciple sisters, she could only vent it on food.
One might wonder where all those foods go after seeing how fit and slim Huo Zhi was.
After finishing their food, Baek Ain and others were about to return to the inn when a brown-haired woman in a maroon dress stopped them.
Baek Ain stared at the woman calmly, observing her fair face and complexion for a second. He sensed a familiar presence from her.
'Viper's Spawns.' Baek Ain's eyes twinkled slightly.
The thing Baek Ain thought about was Yi Xian's Bonded Parasite.
Viper is a tailor-made Parasite created from countless types of poisonous beasts' glands. Now that months have passed, the Parasite has devoured more poisons and grown stronger.
It seems absorbing Nine Nether Poison Flame allowed Viper to evolve and grant Yi Xian more boost in strength.
Not bad, not bad.
Baek Ain probed the link between Parasites and discovered the host's identity before him immediately.
'Aih, that woman...' Baek Ain smiled bitterly inside.
Unlike Baek Ain's specialized parasites to control people, Yi Xian used a swift, dominant, and straightforward move to seize the target's consciousness.
So, the brown-haired woman standing before them is no different than an emotionless drone.
There are pros and cons to this.
The pros are quick to control the target.
But the cons is that the control is not very lasting like Baek Ain did to four Ancient Clans.
Also, the hosts can break the bind anytime because their wills are fighting back because no bonds got formed with the parasites.
'Aih, not only was she sloppy in bed, she's also sloppy at her task.' Baek Ain shook his head helplessly.
If Yi Xian heard Baek Ain's thoughts, she probably protested fiercely.
But she's also "extremely." lucky.
This woman under Parasite's control is Xuan Yi. She's the Association Head of Pill Tower, 9th Tier Alchemist, and 9-Star Dou Venerate Expert.
Although Xuan Yi is a 9th Tier Alchemist with a high cultivation base, Yi Xian has enhanced her capability beyond common sense and thus attained Heavenly Poison Body.
Heavenly Poison Body is considered one of the best Poison-Type Physiques at the Great Thousand World, so her poison is potent against anyone below Dou Saint Realm due to the difference in nature.
Baek Ain did a rough calculation and discovered Yi Xian's peak strength is probably around 9-Star Dou Venerate if he counts Parasite Suit's Boost and Heavenly Poison Body's Activation.
Meanwhile, Baek Ain's disciples recognized Xuan Yi immediately.
"Association Head Xuan Yi." They bowed respectfully.
"Mm." Xuan Yi responded slightly.
She gazed at Baek Ain and said, "Master."
"I will escort you to the Pill Tower."
"Sure." Baek Ain nodded casually, leaving his disciples dumbfounded.
'Teacher Lin knew Association Head, Xuan Yi?' Yao Ling'er frowned slightly.
When Yao Ling'er thought about it, this was normal. Her teacher is an Alchemist, and the Association Head is an Alchemist.
But that doesn't erase her vigilance.
Xuan Yi escorted them to the Pill Tower, leaving the passersby in the street in surprise.
"For the Association Head to escort them personally..."
"What's their status?"
"Those people aren't simple."
