Protect Our Chief-Chapter 550 - 35: Essence of Wood! The "Invincible" Path of the Young Clan Leader_3
After all, the core disciples are the backbone of the Academy’s future, each possessing considerable strength, and the spirit plants they nurture are all quite unique.
"Senior Brother Yunlang’s nurtured Purple Sun Spirit Wood is of excellent quality. It’s evident that he never spares fire spirit stones and heavenly and earthly treasures for its sustenance. If it reaches the Celestial Human Realm, and he refines it into his lifebound spirit plant, it could spray Purple Sun Spirit Fire, which is incredibly destructive. I think Senior Brother Yunlang has a good chance this time."
"Senior Brother Yunlang is still too young after all, but Senior Brother Yuze’s Fire Dragon Fruit Tree is really formidable. It’s clear that Senior Brother Yuze excels in nurturing spirit plants."
The two young ordinary disciples began discussing in hushed voices.
"You all are too young to understand." Hearing them, another outstanding disciple interrupted with a cheeky smile, "Senior Brother Jinshan’s White Jade Spirit Peony is the true exemplar in the world of nurturing spirit plants."
"Senior Brother, although the White Jade Spirit Peony is of excellent quality and full of spirit, showcasing Senior Brother Jinshan’s profound nurturing skill, catalyst technique, and financial resources, it doesn’t seem to be of much help in battle aside from occasionally condensing some heavenly treasures and spirit flower dew. I don’t understand why Senior Brother Jinshan chose this spirit plant to nurture."
"Ah~ young people indeed lack insight and don’t understand its wonders." The outstanding disciple explained mysteriously, "The White Jade Spirit Peony is the most graceful among spirit flowers. Once it becomes a lifebound spirit plant and reaches Tier Five, it can open up its intellect, especially able to communicate mentally with its owner... It seems Senior Brother Jinshan will have trouble finding a suitable partner in his lifetime... He might as well consider buying a ’Spirit Plant Transformation Pill’..."
"Spirit Plant Transformation Pill?"
After the disciples exclaimed, they all looked at Senior Brother Jinshan with eyes full of reverence and complex emotions.
No wonder Senior Brother Jinshan is so remarkable that he can even come up with such a peculiar and uncanny plan.
Some female disciples were so frightened that they screamed. Senior Brother Jinshan’s idea is truly terrifying.
Generally, spirit plants or beasts need to reach Tier Nine and undergo the transformation celestial tribulation to truly transform. But that’s for wild spirit plants and fierce beasts. If they are domesticated, once they reach a certain tier, they can use the transformation pill to gain a slight transformation ability in advance.
Of course, it’s only a slight transformation ability at best. Neither their cultivation nor intellect would grow any further.
Yet, the transformation pill is still a very expensive Fifth-Grade Spirit Pill.
Senior Brother Jinshan had no idea others were gossiping about him. He was proudly showing off his White Jade Spirit Peony: "My nurturing skill is excellent. Look at my nurtured White Jade Spirit Peony; its grace and quality are top-notch. It can also produce a drop of spirit flower dew every month, which can be directly consumed for refining and cultivation, or sold to alchemists for a substantial profit. When she reaches Tier Five, she’ll constantly produce spirit flower dew—either for personal use or sale, it’s a huge gain."
Though he spoke earnestly, everything he said seemed insincere to the audience.
At this moment, Senior Brother Jinshan’s sleazy aura had reached its peak in their eyes.
However, other senior sisters and brothers had no time to bother with Senior Brother Jinshan’s sleaziness at this moment.
They were like salespeople, vigorously showcasing their talent and strength in nurturing spirit plants, hoping to obtain the nurturing rights to the Longevity Tree Spirit Species.
"Come, come~ still take a look at my Cannibal Flower, how alluring and domineering it is, yet filled with tenderness... it could swallow you in one bite without you even noticing..."
"My Ghost-faced Mushroom is the best in nurturing; it can release illusion techniques to attack the divine soul, causing the enemy to collapse without a fight."
As the senior sisters and brothers introduced their spirit plants, they didn’t forget to compete against each other. The scene was lively beyond measure.
"Ugh~~ Can’t watch anymore."
Wang Zong’an watched for a while and finally couldn’t take it anymore. He shook his head and quietly left early.
It wasn’t until half an hour later that everyone suddenly realized something amiss.
"Where’s the Longevity Tree Spirit Species? Why is it missing?"
"Could it have been stolen?"
"Steal your head, the Longevity Tree elder is a Tier Eight peak spirit plant; even a great power in the Divine Power Realm couldn’t easily steal its spirit species, right?"
The crowd was immediately in an uproar.
The core disciples were bewildered, feeling deceived. Even a few elders were perplexed, unable to figure out what happened.
Suddenly.
The oldest elder, wearing the Ink Jade Crown, had a change of expression and spoke, "Uh... this elder received a message from the Longevity Tree elder that the spirit species has found a home. Everyone, disperse."
Following that, the other elders nodded in agreement.
"This elder heard it too..."
The core disciples of the Spirit Platform Realm and the outstanding disciples were dumbfounded on the spot.
So they had just been performing in vain? Someone silently beat them to it?
The most important thing is they upset their nurtured spirit plants for this. Although they hadn’t truly gained intellect, it didn’t mean they were entirely devoid of wisdom and emotions.
"Who is it?! Who obtained the spirit species? I will be your mortal enemy!!!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The crowd stirred in chaos, and the core disciples shot suspicious glances at the ordinary disciples around them, scaring them out of their wits as they hurriedly waved their hands to show their innocence.
The few elders exchanged looks and then silently withdrew one by one, wanting nothing more to do with it.
...
Meanwhile, without mentioning how the core disciples were faring, Wang Zong’an had already quietly returned to his unremarkable little courtyard.
Sitting cross-legged on his bed, he took out the glowing Longevity Fruit, feeling a slight excitement in his heart.
Once his bloodline talent improves, if he can awaken the triple bloodline, he can seamlessly break through and enter the Spirit Platform Realm.
Then, when he nurtures a spirit species from the Longevity Fruit, he’ll have a Longevity Tree sprout spirit plant.
It seems like, as the Young Clan Leader, he’s about to become invincible!
All this came so suddenly.
...
