Chapter 543: Chapter 33: Spirit Tide! The Eruption of Changchun Valley_2

Not to mention the families of the eighth or ninth rank, even families of lesser Celestial Beings may not be able to afford this.

Even Yuanmo Senior Brother has an Ice Crystal Treasury in his courtyard, a fact that not Wang Zong’an, or even Bai Ling, expected.

In response to their surprised expressions, Senior Brother Yuanmo couldn’t help feeling quite pleased with himself, his sense of superiority surged within.

After all, he came from a longstanding 7th-rank Aristocratic Family, which had substantial resources and provided him with steady support each year. This allowed him to gradually accumulate this small Ice Crystal Treasury, which he usually used to store pricey and perishable food ingredients.

“Then let’s go check it out tonight.” Wang Zong’an thought about it and said.

Inspired by Senior Brother Yuanmo’s words, this idea came to him.

… In the Academic Palace, there were several Spirit Bird Flying Carriages. If he managed to make a small ice crystal cold storage inside, he could deliver the spiritual mushrooms to his parents and clan members.

As for the quantity, he could buy from other disciples using Qian Gold.

It made sense to carry more items for the same trip. Plus, he could also bring a batch of fresh Spirit Meat from his family at the same time. He had grown tired of eating dried and cured Spirit Meat.

Soon, the three of them settled the plan and parted ways.

They are all ordinary disciples, with many tasks to do.

It was not until midnight that the three regrouped. Under Bai Ling’s guidance, they headed deep into the Changchun Valley where the Longevity Trees grew, carrying their backpacks and bamboo baskets.

From a distance, they saw the ancient tree that was rooted above the Spirit Veins.

The history of the tree was incredibly ancient. Its trunk was so thick it resembled a small hill, and its plate-like roots were like rocky walls. Moss could be seen all over the bark, and the trace of time had soaked into every line, showing its age and antiqueness.

Despite this, its life force remained undiminished.

Under the night sky, the massive canopy of the tree covered the head like a grand curtain, emitting a powerful and vast aura, just like a vast sea, filled with robust wood-type energy.

The dense vitality slowly diffused from between the leaves, streak by streak, emitting a green spirit light. Seen from afar, it was like a phosphorescent green waterfall that spreads between heaven and earth, dazzling and vibrant.

Though Wang Zong’an had seen this before, he found it overwhelming every time.

How much furniture could be made from such a giant Spirit Tree if it were cut down?

Fortunately, the other disciples of Changchun Valley didn’t hear his thoughts, or else they would beat him up just for contemplating chopping down the Longevity Tree to make furniture. He must be tired of living for having such a thought.

“Everyone, maintain order and do not jump the queue~”

A senior brother’s voice came from under the tree from afar.

Looking forward, they saw many disciples of Changchun Valley already lining up.

Sister Bai Ling was instantly upset: “What a miscalculation~ I thought coming in the middle of the night would be early enough, but I didn’t expect these guys to arrive earlier than us. How shameless~”

“Forget it. Let’s just queue.”

Senior Brother Yuanmo advised.

The spiritual tide only bursts every few years, making this a rare opportunity. With the “strange spiritual mushroom” being plentiful, no one was willing to miss this chance. Even if they didn’t consume it themselves, selling it to disciples from other peaks could also earn them a profit.

As they spoke, the three merged into the queue.

A man in his forties who was a core disciple had his hands behind his back, standing at the front to maintain discipline: “All Changchun Valley disciples, you must queue up if you wish to pick the spiritual mushroom. Enter under the tree to pick when the time is right. Whoever does not maintain order will be expelled from the spot and have their study points deducted.”

“Senior Brother Yuzhe, we understand.”

All ordinary disciples complied obediently.

Senior Brother Yuzhe was already at the third level of Spirit Platform Realm. For the ordinary disciples, he was an imposing figure, and no one dared to challenge order.

Furthermore, Changchun Valley disciples were always averse to conflict. Everyone calmly lined up and sat to cultivate their energy. Yet, as the time passed, the queue of disciples grew longer and longer, stretching out like a winding dragon.

And finally, it was the hour of morning dew.

With the first light of dawn appearing on the horizon, the concentration of wood-type spiritual energy in the world seemed to reach some sort of limit. One could feel their Qi and blood get nourished by simply breathing in.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Mushrooms miraculously broke through the earth and spread out among the surroundings of the Longevity Tree, their stems thick and caps full and round.

The brothers were not mean spirited in their laughter, while the blushing sisters were also not willing to miss this opportunity.

An undiscerning disciple tried to take advantage of the situation for a laugh, attempting to tease a younger sister. He was promptly rebuked by two bold sisters and was driven away with a red and embarrassed face.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Yuzhe scolded them, and the queue quieted down.

Everyone took turns and it was quickly Wang Zong’an and the other two’s turn. They followed their plan, forming a “品” shape and went forward to search for mushrooms, focusing on picking the larger ones, they weren’t inefficient either.

While Wang Zong’an was collecting mushrooms with one of the Senior Sisters…

Suddenly!

The ancient Longevity Tree shook, like it was stretching lazily. A few dozens of its leaves rustled down.

The leaves were vibrantly green, full of thick wood-type energy.
