Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1480 Violet Mystic Life Tree

The sudden appearance of Alchemist Ruoxian was certainly beyond Lin Muʼs expectations and his words even more so.

”What do you mean? What kind of development?” Lin Mu questioned.

”About a week ago, reports of a Violet Mystic Life Tree appearing in the Desolate Blood Battlefield have popped up.” Alchemist Ruoxian answered.

”Violet Mystic Life Tree?” Lin Mu furrowed his brows, unable to recognize the name.

He tried to look through his memories, but didnʼt have any information about such a tree.

”What is this tree?” Lin Mu asked.

”The Violet Mystic Life Tree is said to be a blessed tree of the heavens. It appears very rarely and there have been no records of it ever appearing in the Rust Sky world. Which is why it has caused the Holy Topaz Empire to become panicked.” Alchemist Ruoxian replied.

”A tree can make the entire empire panic? Just what makes it so special and relevant to us?” Lin Mu asked next feeling confused.

”The Violet Mystic Life Tree is said to be able to extend the lifespans of creatures. You can understand just how valuable it would be to those experts who are at the end of their lifespan or are at the verge of having an Immortal Tribulation but are not feeling confident.

As for why it is relevant to us… the Violet Mystic Life Tree has appeared in the same region where the cache of the Immortal Essence crystal was supposed to be.” Alchemist Ruoxian explained.

”Wait… at the cache?” Lin Mu suddenly thought of something. ”You donʼt mean to say… the Violet Mystic Life Tree is growing on top of it, do you?” he questioned doubtfully.

”That is… quite likely.” Alchemist Ruoxian nodded his head pensively. ”The Violet Mystic Life Tree is said to be filled with boundless vitality. Its so abundant that even staying within its periphery is said to heal wounds and cure diseases.

But for a tree like that to grow, it will need an equivalent amount of nutrition. And I think… it might be drawing this from the Immortal Essence mine that has developed from the cache.

Or at the very least, it might have started growing from the mine, before its root expanded and started drawing nutrition from the surrounding areas. The bloodied soil has vitality that cannot be used by creatures, but for a plant, it shouldnʼt matter.” Alchemist Ruoxian explained in detail.

After hearing this, Lin Mu understood that it might really be so.

While he didnʼt really need the Violet Mystic Life Tree as he had plenty of lifespan, he did need the Hundred Year old Essence Spring Stalactite. He could technically do without it, but it would be perfect for him.

After all, it would save him nearly a hundred years of cultivation if the description of the pill was to be believed.

~Sigh~

”Seems like fate is trying to play games after being favorable for a while…” Lin Mu shook his head.

”We still have the advantage. While the others know about the Violet Mystic Life Tree, they donʼt know about the cache that has turned into a mine. It might still be possible to sneak in there.” Alchemist Ruoxian said, hoping that Lin Mu wouldnʼt break the deal.

This was the reason why Ruoxian was so nervous. After all, no sane person would try to obtain the Hundred Year of Essence Spring Stalactite under the nose of the empire. And that was just one of the powers that would try to get it.

Ruoxian knew very well just how big of an upheaval this would be causing. It wasnʼt just the powers of the Holy Topaz Empire either, as he was sure that the people of the other continents would certainly sneak in.

After all, hiding such a big news wasnʼt easy and was bound to leak with the people of different continents that scoured the Desolate Blood Battlefield. It wouldnʼt be wrong to say that this was no different from walking into a swamp full of crocodiles.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼm still going.” Lin Mu assuaged the manʼs fears.

Lin Mu was going to go to the Desolate Blood Battlefield anyway and the Hundred Year old Essence Spring Stalactite was just an extra excuse for going there.

”The Violet Mystic Life Tree is certainly special… even Iʼve only seen three such trees till now.” Xukong spoke after a long time.

”Oh? Youʼve seen them before, Senior?” Lin Mu was a bit surprised.

He had not disturbed Xukong since the spider had been cultivating too. Xukong had already told Lin Mu that he was close to a breakthrough, though Lin Mu didnʼt know what kind of a breakthrough it was.

Due to this, Lin Mu had been avoiding disturbing Xukong unless it was absolutely necessary. But from time to time, Xukong would take a look too. Especially if there was something really worthy of his interest.

And it was evident that the Violet Mystic Life Tree was one of them.

”I have yes. The entire tree is a treasure, right from its fruits, leaves, branches all the way to its roots.” Xukong replied. ”While you donʼt necessarily need its ability to extend oneʼs lifespan, it will still be good to obtain some parts of it.

After all, they are very valuable and you can exchange them for something you need.” He suggested.

Hearing this, Lin Mu saw the worth. Right now he had a lifespan that was over Eight thousand years long while he himself was merely twenty seven years old. It would be a long time before he would need to start worrying about his longevity.

Not to mention, he was quite sure that his immortal tribulations would be overcome before the end period. This would simply keep on extending his lifespan more and more.

With how much time he had, it wouldnʼt be an issue for Lin Mu to simply enter seclusion and focus on one of the occupations for hundreds of years.

ʼI guess itʼll be worth taking a look…ʼ Lin Mu decided.
