Protect Our Chief-Chapter 549 - 35: Essence of Wood! The "Invincible" Path of the Young Clan Leader_2
"Enough, enough!"
However, before Wang Zong’an could erupt, the Longevity Tree swiftly changed its mind once again.
"Your father’s bloodline is too excellent, fearing he will abandon my beloved daughter for a more compatible Spirit Plant, just like that heartless girl Lvwei did. Although your bloodline is far inferior to your father’s, precisely because it’s not as outstanding, the likelihood of you being fickle is quite small."
The Longevity Tree, although a rare Exotic Spirit Plant, is not alone in this world where there are many Exotic Spirit Plants, some even stronger. Having lived for thousands of years, it understands this quite clearly~
You are obviously the epitome of fickleness...
Listening to the Longevity Tree, Wang Zong’an couldn’t help but silently complain.
But such words can’t be spoken aloud; after all, the Longevity Tree senior is a Peak of Eighth Rank Spirit Plant... if it gets furious, a single branch could easily kill him.
"In that case, I’ll entrust my young daughter to you." The Longevity Tree finally decided, "You must swear never to fail her."
"Well, this junior has dull talent and ordinary bloodline; why not seek someone more capable?"
Wang Zong’an directly declined.
What a joke, he is the dignified Young Clan Leader of the Wang Family, the future heir to the Wang Family’s great enterprise. Can he joyously accept being humiliated like this?
As for the Lifebound Spirit Plant, he’s still a long way from the Celestial Human Realm, so no rush. With the current pace of the Wang Family’s rise and development, he might not be unable to encounter the same level or even more superior Exotic Spirit Plants in the future.
"Your bloodline is indeed somewhat ordinary, but your modesty is quite favored by me." The Longevity Tree, seemingly unaffected by the "Young Clan Leader’s anger," contemplated, "It is time to make a decision. Having lived long and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, I have now nurtured a drop of Essence of Wood, which is perfectly suited to your Wood Bloodline. Whether it can elevate to the level of Great Celestial Pride depends on your own fate."
"This..."
Wang Zong’an was truly bewildered by the Longevity Tree’s ups and downs.
He weakly asked, "Can this Essence of Wood elevate my father’s bloodline?"
"No. Essence of Wood is only suitable for Wood Element bloodlines, and your father is not a true Wood Element bloodline. Even if he uses it, the effect would be extremely limited," explained the Longevity Tree, "Moreover, Essence of Wood is extremely rare; it took me thousands of years to condense a single drop. And you’re currently just Two Bloodlines, making it just right for you. If you don’t need it, that’s fine too..."
"I need it, need it, need it!"
Wang Zong’an nodded repeatedly.
What a joke, this is a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure capable of enhancing bloodline talent; not taking it would be foolish.
Isn’t the reason he hasn’t broken through to the Spirit Platform Realm that he feels his bloodline is too low, making a breakthrough not worthwhile?
As for the insult he felt earlier, in that instant it was cast away into the skies. If a single insult could bring such level of Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, he wishes such insults come more and more fiercely.
Obtaining the Longevity Tree Spirit Species is already very fortunate; not to mention also getting a drop of Essence of Wood that can improve his bloodline! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"I will certainly carefully nurture your daughter. When I ascend to the Celestial Human Realm, I will definitely refine her as my Lifebound Spirit Plant. If I violate this oath, let senior handle me as you wish." Wang Zong’an made a decisive vow.
"Good, good, good!"
Upon receiving Wang Zong’an’s vow, the Longevity Tree was overjoyed.
In the next instant.
The Longevity Fruit Spirit Species already matured on its bark suddenly vanished and appeared in Wang Zong’an’s hands.
Together with the Longevity Fruit Spirit Species appeared a drop of lustrous emerald liquid brimming with vitality. Without a doubt, this drop of liquid was the "Essence of Wood" mentioned by the Longevity Tree.
Wang Zong’an’s eyes lit up, watching the drop of liquid quietly merge into his body.
Instantly, a warm sensation enveloped him, making him feel as if he was soaking in a warm spring, indescribably comfortable, turning him quite lazy.
He knew that this was the Essence of Wood transforming his physique.
This bloodline enhancement evolution, unlike the destructive and do-or-die nature of Wedding Robe Blood Gu, progresses in a silent and subtle manner. The benefit is that it doesn’t burden the body, though the drawback is that it takes effect quite slowly.
To fully digest this drop of Essence of Wood, it seems it won’t be quick.
"Senior, the brothers and sisters are still competing in Spirit Plant contests to fight for nurturing rights of the Spirit Species," Wang Zong’an hesitated, "Should we tell them there’s no need to compete anymore?"
"No matter, let those rascals carry on as they please." The Longevity Tree replied, "Hmph, this group of rascals can’t even measure themselves up. Do they really aspire for my beloved daughter?"
"Alright!"
Although Wang Zong’an felt a bit of sympathy for those brothers and sisters, in the end, he refrained from giving them a hint.
When going out, parents have cautioned him to always be humble. As the saying goes, avoid flaunting wealth, even if one receives immense benefits, it’s best to enjoy them quietly without letting anyone know.
And while Wang Zong’an quietly absorbed the Essence of Wood, on the other side, the competition among the core disciples was in full swing. The surrounding ordinary disciples, drawn by the peculiar Spirit Plants, didn’t notice the unusual change around Wang Zong’an.
