Chapter 278: Are You Looking for Me? (3)

However, he was happy to see that.
He and the six clones split up and searched at the same time. They were extremely fast. On average, they could search an entire mountain in less than half an hour.
Although this method was time-consuming and energy-consuming, it was the most practical and effective method for Lin Shen.
Lin Shen’s expression suddenly changed after more than ten mountains were searched in a row, and he quickly flew in a certain direction.
A moment later, he arrived at the waist of a mountain and landed on an opening in the woods.
The Pure Yang Body clone was already waiting here.
About 500 to 600 meters away, a banyan tree over twenty meters tall and needed over ten people to get their arms around stood majestically.
Even from afar, he could feel the exuberant vitality emitted by the banyan tree. It was so dense that it was astonishing.
“It’s at least 600 to 700 years old. It should be able to awaken its intelligence soon!”
Lin Shen clicked his tongue in wonder.
Along the way, he had long noticed that the plants in Xuandu Mountain were nourished by spiritual essence and were much more vigorous than those in the outside world.
Under normal circumstances, if a banyan tree wanted to awaken its intelligence, it would grow for at least a thousand years.
The banyan tree in front of him was bathed in rich spiritual essence all year round. It was only 600 to 700 years old, but it was already showing signs of becoming a spirit. It was all thanks to this unique environment.
There was a high chance that such a spirit wood would be accompanied by the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!
In fact, as he approached the banyan tree, Lin Shen could already vaguely sense a strange aura in it. It was like an ink spot on a piece of white paper and was extremely conspicuous.
At the same time, he gradually smelled a strange fragrance.
All of this indicated the existence of the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!
Lin Shen perked up, and his movements became lighter and slower. At the same time, he pasted a concealment talisman and an escape talisman on himself and his Pure Yang Body clone. Then, he carefully approached the banyan tree.
When he was within a hundred meters of the banyan tree, Lin Shen finally heard a strange sound coming from the crown.
He looked over and saw a palm-sized child with a pigtail standing on his head. He was sitting on a branch and sucking the surrounding spiritual energy with a satisfied expression. From time to time, he would dance and laugh.
“Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!”
Lin Shen’s eyes narrowed. Seeing this, he no longer hesitated. He rushed out from behind the tree and pounced at the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit on the banyan tree crown.
The Mystic Essence Wood Spirit on the treetop sensed the commotion immediately. When he turned around, his face immediately turned pale. With a cry, he turned around and rushed down the tree.
Demons like plant spirits were usually born with the ability to escape by burrowing underground. A cultivator master used their spiritual senses to track it, but ordinary cultivators could forget about finding its traces.
Of course, Lin Shen wouldn’t let his prey escape so easily. Without thinking, he pointed with his finger and shouted.
“Freeze!”
At that sound, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit immediately stopped moving. He was rendered immobile, and only his eyeballs rolled around in fear.
In terms of strength and cultivation, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit couldn’t even compare to a Mystic Stage spiritual beast, but its ability to escape was a little troublesome.
However, Lin Shen’s fifth-level Immobilizing Spell instantly deprived him of his mobility.
Lin Shen had already shot over like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was five meters away from the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
At the critical moment, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit cried out and finally broke free from the shackles of the spell.
It was too late to escape underground. He simply bumped into the banyan tree trunk beside him and disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he emerged from the trunk of a tall tree more than thirty meters away.
“Ha!”
The Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, who had escaped the calamity, laughed loudly and made a face at Lin Shen. Then, he was about to burrow into the ground and escape.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadow of the tree and easily grabbed the wood spirit.
“All! All!”
Caught off guard, the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit cried out in fear and struggled crazily. Unfortunately, his palm-sized body really didn’t have much strength and was tightly grabbed by that powerful palm.
The owner of the palm was actually the Pure Yang Body clone.
While the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was focused on Lin Shen, he used the Shadow-staying Technique and crawled out from behind the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, successfully capturing it in one go.
Looking at the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit in the clone’s hand, Lin Shen couldn’t help but click his tongue.
With his strength, he almost couldn’t catch the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit in a surprise attack.
If not for the clone’s help, the little fellow might have really escaped.
That was how difficult it was to capture the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!
“No wonder Wood Ancestor City doesn’t trade much Mystic Essence Liquid every year. Unless a cultivator master takes action, ordinary Bright Aperture Stage cultivators will probably have to spend a lot of energy and time to capture the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!”
In any sect, cultivator masters were extremely important combat strength and wouldn’t be mobilized easily.
Moreover, most of the cultivators were in charge of important positions in the sect and were abnormally busy. They might not even have enough time to cultivate, so how could they waste time searching for and capturing the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit?
As he was thinking, Lin Shen suddenly heard a whimper. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
He lowered his head and saw that the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit in his clone’s hands was wiping his tears with his tiny fair hands.
Lin Shen couldn’t help but laugh.
However, he knew very well that this little fellow was very cunning and wouldn’t be deceived by this pitiful appearance. He took the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit from his clone and let it go back to search for wood spirits.
He was prepared to extract the Mystic Essence Liquid.
But before he could do anything, he was alarmed and looked to the left.
A conversation came from there.
“Damn it, where did that brat go?”
“Brother Xi, is there something wrong with your compass? Why is it spinning randomly?”
“That’s impossible. This compass was given to me by Elder Liu, and it’s an enchanted armament. How could there be a problem? 1 think that brat most likely has a treasure that prevents someone from locking onto his aura!”
“So what do we do?”
“There’s no hurry. There are traces of aura along the way. When I collect more auras with this compass, I’ll be able to locate him more accurately. At that time, I’ll definitely be able to find him…”
He stopped mid-sentence.
This was because Lian Xi suddenly saw a person standing not far ahead. A familiar face was smiling at him.
“Are you looking for me?”
