Protect Our Chief-Chapter 543 - 33 Spirit Tide! The Outbreak of Eternal Spring Valley_2

It’s not just the Eighth and Ninth Grade clans; even some lesser Celestial Human Families may not afford it.

The fact that Brother Yuan Mo has an Ice Crystal Library in his yard was unexpected, not only to Wang Zong’an but also to Bai Ling.

Facing the surprised eyes of the two, Brother Yuan Mo couldn’t help but feel smug, a sense of superiority welling up inside him.

After all, he comes from an established Seventh-Grade Noble Family, with substantial wealth, and his family provides considerable support for him every year. This allowed him to gradually establish such a miniature Ice Crystal Library, which can be used to store expensive and easily perishable food.

"In that case," Wang Zong’an pondered for a moment and said, "let’s go see it tonight."

Inspired by Brother Yuan Mo, he also had an idea in mind.

The academy has several Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots; if a small ice crystal cold storage could be set up in the carriage, Spirit Mushrooms could be transported back for his parents and clansmen to taste.

As for the quantity, he could just spend some Qian Gold to purchase from other disciples.

Since it’s the same trip, naturally transporting more is cost-effective, and he can also bring a batch of fresh Spiritual Flesh from the family. He’s tired of eating dried cured spiritual meat~

Soon, the three discussed and disbanded.

They were all ordinary disciples, but still had plenty of work to do.

At midnight, the three regrouped. Led by Senior Sister Bai Ling, carrying large bamboo baskets and holding bamboo trays, they headed to the deep valley where the Longevity Tree grows.

From afar, the three could see the towering ancient tree rooted on the Spirit Vein.

Its history is truly ancient, with a trunk as thick as a small mountain, roots like rock walls, and bark covered with moss. The marks of time permeated its every texture, looking old and quaint.

Yet even so, its life force remained undiminished.

Under the night sky, its vast canopy layered like an umbrella, emitting powerful, immense, ocean-like Wood Spirit Qi.

Rich vitality slowly dissipated between the branches and leaves, threading green spirit light, appearing like a glimmering green waterfall draping across the world, dazzling and vibrant.

Despite Wang Zong’an having seen it before, he still felt awe-struck.

Such a gigantic spirit tree, how much furniture could be made if it were cut down?

Fortunately, other disciples in Eternal Spring Valley couldn’t hear his thoughts, or with just that thought, he’d get beaten up. How audacious to think of cutting down the Longevity Tree for furniture; he must think he’s living too carefree~

"Everyone, maintain order, no cutting in line~"

From afar, a brother’s voice echoed from beneath the tree.

The three looked ahead and found many disciples from Eternal Spring Valley already lining up.

Senior Sister Bai Ling immediately felt annoyed: "Wrong calculation~ Thought coming at midnight would be early enough; who would have thought these guys arrived even earlier. So shameless~"

"Forget it, let’s queue,"

Brother Yuan Mo advised.

The Spirit Tide erupts only once every few years, making this a rare opportunity, coupled with the harvest of "strange Spirit Mushrooms," naturally, no one wants to miss this chance. Even if not consumed, selling them to disciples across various peaks can still be lucrative.

While speaking, the three had already joined the queue.

A core disciple in his forties or fifties stood solemnly at the front, maintaining order: "All disciples of Eternal Spring Valley listen up; to pick Spirit Mushrooms, you must line up properly. When the time is ripe, enter under the tree one by one for harvesting. Anyone who disobeys the order will be immediately expelled and have corresponding academic credits deducted."

"Brother Yuze, we understand."

All ordinary disciples obediently agreed.

Brother Yuze had already reached the Third Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, and among the ordinary disciples, he was considered a high figure, naturally, no one dared to challenge the order.

Moreover, Eternal Spring Valley’s branch has always been "not fond of conflict," so everyone peacefully queued and practiced Qi cultivation, leading to no conflicts. However, as time passed, the queue grew longer, gradually forming a winding dragon.

And time gradually reached the dawn dew.

With the first glimmer of light appearing on the horizon, the concentration of Wood Spirit Qi in the world seemed to reach a certain limit, even breathing aroused the nourishment of blood and energy within.

Meanwhile, around the Longevity Tree, Spirit Mushrooms began to sprout from the ground miraculously, spreading out, with sturdy stems and plump mushroom heads.

The senior brothers showed mischievous smiles, and the senior sisters, though blushing, were unwilling to miss the opportunity.

One oblivious brother jokingly teased a junior sister, only to be sprayed back by two fiery senior sisters, forcing him to retreat in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Brother Yuze scolded a few times, and the queue quieted down.

Everyone entered as planned; soon it was Wang Zong’an and the other two’s turn. According to their plan, they positioned in a "three-point" stance, scanning forward in one direction, selectively picking large ones, which proved to be quite efficient.

Just as Wang Zong’an was focused on mushroom picking alongside the senior sister.

Suddenly!

The ancient trunk of the Longevity Tree shook, as if stretching lazily, and dozens of leaves rustled and fell.

Those leaves glistened with fresh green, infused with rich Wood Energy.
