Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1181 - 1180: Fierce Beasts

"Fierce Beast Core?" Fang Yu was surprised, "You should have told me earlier... I would have kept that beast core from twenty thousand years ago. It doesn’t significantly improve my cultivation, but it can enhance life force."

The Little Elf said:

"The wisdom of fierce beasts may be inferior to that of humans. But their life force has always been much stronger. The fierce beast core is just one aspect; finding a plant core would be even better."

"Plant core?"

"Indeed... everything possesses spiritual wisdom. Animals form cores through absorbing spiritual energy in cultivation, but similarly, plants can also form cores by absorbing nature’s spiritual energy... Moreover, plants have advantages over animals and humans both in life force and environmental conditions."

Fang Yu nodded.

The Little Elf made a very valid point.

Not to mention the current era of abundant spiritual energy, even back in the modern urban time with no spiritual energy.

The lifespan of trees was generally much longer than that of humans.

Far more superior.

And in many places, there are thousand-year-old trees.

The lifespan of humans in that era would be good enough if they reached a hundred years. That’s why many blessings at the time included the saying: ’Live a hundred years.’

Just...

The times have changed now.

Fang Yu asked in confusion, "Then how do you differentiate the quality of a tree’s core?"

The Little Elf replied, "The essence of cultivation for trees and animals is the same; they both need to absorb Heaven and Earth Essence. However, the time for world reformation is still short, and many trees cannot yet form cores. When cores do form, it takes a long time. But... some trees begin forming in the Secret Realm; after emerging, they weren’t harmed and directly rooted themselves on this continent, pretending to be ordinary trees to continue cultivation—these can be sought out."

"Pretending?" Fang Yu was taken aback.

"Yes, once trees successfully cultivate, they become tree spirits and also possess a certain Spiritual Wisdom. However, in terms of Spiritual Wisdom, they still pale in comparison to humans," the Little Elf said.

"I see... If that’s the case, why don’t I just have people from the Five Great Domains search within their domains? There are also existing time-independent Secret Realms, like the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land of the Dragon Clan, where there must be many thousand-year-old trees!" Fang Yu said.

"Yes, Master!"

Fang Yu withdrew his mind from communicating with the Artifact Spirit and slowly stood up.

...

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ren, returning from surveying near the Dragon Clan, was heading back to Tiandu Mountain to report.

As soon as he entered the great hall, a brother from the Dark Web informed Jiang Ren.

"Mr. Jiang, the boss said to find him as soon as you return!"

"Hmm, I was planning to see him anyway!"

Jiang Ren immediately sought out Fang Yu.

Fang Yu didn’t expect it—thinking of Jiang Ren, and there he was!

"Mr. Fang, were you looking for me?" Jiang Ren asked politely at the door.

"Come in!"

As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Yu sitting on a chair, smiling as he chatted with Xu Sisi while tasting tea.

Indeed, the woman brewing tea continuously was Xu Sisi, skilled in qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, and dance at Tiandu Mountain.

Xu Sisi nodded to Jiang Ren and continued, "This tea was grown in the reformation of the world, nourished by abundant spiritual energy, and the taste is especially wonderful! Mr. Fang, how do you find it?"

"It’s fantastic! To drink tea brewed by Miss Sisi is to live without regrets." Fang Yu said.

"If Mr. Fang doesn’t mind, I’d be willing to brew tea for you for a lifetime..."

"..."

If one couldn’t understand the meaning of these words, then they’d truly be a fool.

To the brothers at Tiandu Mountain, it was no surprise.

Who didn’t know the feelings of these women around Fang Yu at Tiandu Mountain?

Except, everyone just pretended not to see.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Ren coughed lightly.

Fang Yu smiled warmly, "Please, sit here..."

"Thank you, Mr. Fang..."

As soon as Jiang Ren sat down, he began speaking endlessly, "This time, while surveying near the Dragon Clan’s Sacred Land, I also investigated the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land... Your esteemed mother asked me to deliver a message..."

"My mother?"

"Her body’s restrictions have been completely lifted, and her strength is now above Saint level. She is also of the highest Dragon Clan bloodline, thus naturally ascending to the position of Dragon Emperor. She said... Although Dragon Clan internal affairs are busy, with capable assistants helping, things are quite smooth and easy. She asked me to earnestly convey a message to you—"

"What message?"

"When are you going to have a grandchild?" Jiang Ren said seriously, with utmost solemnity.

"..."

Pfft—

Beside them, Xu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh while holding a teacup.

Seeing that Jiang Ren still had much to say, Fang Yu quickly waved his hand, "The rest need not be said. Luckily I sent her to the Dragon Clan’s Sacred Land to be the Dragon Emperor; if she stays by my side, I’d be driven crazy!"

Fang Yu just muttered a few words to himself, daring not to say more.

Jiang Ren nodded and said no more.

Fang Yu asked, "How did things go regarding the fierce beasts on that side?"

"Well... after over ten days of surveying, the reason has been uncovered... The reason fierce beasts gathered there in large numbers is because of a mysterious pond that appeared."

"A pond, what’s so special about that?"

"This isn’t an ordinary pond. After investigation, I found... the water in this pond is comparable to spiritual energy. This is... a Spirit Pond! The water inside is all Spiritual Water... The fish and shrimp species in the pond have all mutated and evolved. The surrounding trees and weeds have become very robust. The fierce beasts went to the Spirit Pond every day to drink..."

"I see." Fang Yu was somewhat surprised.

"I’ve already had the area sealed, but... to avoid frightening or upsetting the fierce beasts, I’ve specifically instructed not to disturb them. These beasts have low Spiritual Wisdom; most are of three to five thousand years, with a few of ten thousand years, and in ten days I only saw one fifty-thousand-year-old beast." Jiang Ren said.

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu was somewhat disappointed.

The oldest was only fifty thousand years.

Thus, extending lifespan becomes difficult.

"Jiang Ren, what method did you use to determine the age of the fierce beasts?" Fang Yu asked.

"Energy Wave..." Jiang Ren replied.

"Energy Wave?"

"This Energy Wave was developed by the human technology team over there. I forgot to tell you; during the Secret Realm research, the technology engineering team hired me as a consultant... I maintained contact with them. At the time, I was contemplating how to devise technology that could reveal the cultivation of human cultivators, but the value was low because humans are too clever, with various methods to hide it. However, with the emergence of fierce beasts, the product proved useful." Jiang Ren explained.

"Hmm, well done!" Fang Yu nodded.

"What are Mr. Fang’s plans next?"

"To continue the investigation... but this time, include plants as well!"

Upon hearing.

Jiang Ren suddenly patted his forehead and said, "Mr. Fang truly awakened a dreamer with one sentence! How did I forget about plants!"

...

Meanwhile.

In the Taicang Domain.

Hundreds of cultivator workers were continuously transporting goods, Spirit Stones... And several Great Cultivators near constructed buildings were depicting arrays.

Wang Zidao, the Great Elder of Taicang Domain, stood with his hands behind him gazing at the Taicang Domain’s starry sky and said:

"Just wait, Fang Yu... What you humiliated me with that day, I will with vengeance repay a hundredfold!"
