Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Favor Cashed In

After Lu Xiaobu’s wood attribute was maxed out, he once again saw those green wood attributes in his eyes.

Especially the ancient tree in front of him, its greenness was almost blinding!

But that’s not the key point.

What’s important is that Lu Xiaobu actually saw the green light of the ancient tree increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He remembered that back then, only that item inside the Treasure Pavilion of Medicine King Valley could increase the speed to such a visible level, but now it’s happening every second at this speed.

So the question arises, where is all this energy coming from?

But Lu Xiaobu searched all over Medicine King Valley yet couldn’t find what was supplying energy to this ancient tree!

This energy is really coming out of thin air?!

It’s as if it came from another world!

Lu Xiaobu frowned, this ancient tree indeed holds many secrets.

However, that’s not what he’s thinking about now.

Instead, he’s thinking about what the old poison once said about this ancient tree being related to something above the Grandmaster level.

Could it be that this energy from nowhere is the key to something above Grandmaster level?

”Old Poison, Ye Changsheng, both of you, lean against this tree and cultivate!” Lu Xiaobu was about to verify this matter.

Ye Changsheng trusted Lu Xiaobu unconditionally, and after a moment of hesitation, the old poison also chose to believe Lu Xiaobu.

”Cultivate with all your might.” Lu Xiaobu said again.

Ye Changsheng and the old poison closed their eyes and began to operate their respective cultivation technique, or more accurately, something called a mental method.

After a while.

”Do you feel anything?”

Lu Xiaobu asked aloud.

Actually, even without asking, he kind of knew, it was useless!

Because the energy of this ancient tree wasn’t absorbed by the two of them at all!

No! That’s not right!

Just then, the old poison had a reaction, a little, really a very little, pitifully little amount of energy, surged into the old poison’s body!

”My God! How! Is this possible?!” The old poison instantly exited from the state of cultivation, his eyes filled with shock!

Then, he looked at Lu Xiaobu, somewhat incoherently saying, ”Just now, just now there was energy, from the energy on the tree, surging into my body!”

”Hmm, is it very strange?” Lu Xiaobu frowned: ”Don’t novels often have absorbing nature’s spiritual energy?! Although it’s a bit incredible, there’s no need to be shocked to this extent!”

”No, no, no! It’s different! Really different!” The old poison calmed down, looking at the ancient tree with a complex expression: ”You must be reading cultivation novels! We are martial artists, not cultivators!”

”So, we do not absorb any nature’s spiritual energy, all the energy we cultivate comes from ourselves, the stronger a martial artist is, the more they eat, you should know this!”

”Because food is our primary source of cultivation energy, the idea of absorbing nature’s spiritual energy is nonsense!”

”But! Just now, I actually absorbed energy from the ancient tree, this feeling I’ve never experienced before!”

The shock in the old poison’s heart couldn’t be fully described in words.

Actually, being able to absorb energy from the ancient tree is shocking in one aspect, but even more shocking isn’t this, it’s another, which is his Grandmaster cultivation that hadn’t advanced at all, actually moved because of this little bit of energy!

Does that mean he could really reach a higher realm in his lifetime?!

Lu Xiaobu the Plague God?! Nonsense! This damn guy is a blessing star! A blessing star!

If Lu Xiaobu weren’t here, even following those traitors’ methods, the ancient tree might not truly revive.

However, what about Lu Xiaobu? Although his methods consumed a lot of resources, he straightforwardly and neatly revived the ancient tree!

And now, he has directly discovered the secret of the ancient tree!

Truth be told, if it was just him alone, he could never have thought of this path of absorbing energy from the ancient tree!

Because he had never heard of such a thing!

”I see!” Lu Xiaobu nodded with a general understanding, then looked at Ye Changsheng.

But Ye Changsheng shook his head, indicating he couldn’t absorb it.

Then, he looked at the old poison with envy!

Now the old poison has hit the jackpot!

”Old Poison, I want to do another experiment.” An idea struck Lu Xiaobu.

The old poison could, Ye Changsheng couldn’t, does that mean that the ability to absorb doesn’t rely on strength, but on something else!

For example, the attribute!

So, he’s planning to let Li Jin come over to see if he can absorb it.

Of course, he could actually use Forced Calmness to determine the old poison’s attribute.

But comparably, it’s clearly more appropriate to have Li Jin come over, after all, if his guess is correct, then Li Jin could benefit!

”Sure! Go ahead!” The old poison was now full of admiration for Lu Xiaobu.

”Zhang Meng, go bring Li Jin over from his home.” Lu Xiaobu turned to Zhang Meng and instructed.

”Yes, Young Master, I’ll go right away!” Zhang Meng also probably guessed it.

Even though he’s not that smart, he still has some guesses of his own in this regard!

”Also, old poison, I’m afraid you’ll need to make changes to Medicine King Valley, this place can’t be casually entered by anyone.” Lu Xiaobu said aloud.

”Right! Exactly! Master Lu is indeed considerate!” The old poison immediately understood.

Then, he summoned the Sect Master of Medicine King Valley: ”Announce it, Medicine King Valley is to be relocated to the Outer Valley! The Inner Valley becomes forbidden, no one is allowed to enter without my permission!”

Which means the original Medicine King Valley becomes forbidden, and the original Outer Valley becomes Medicine King Valley, as for the scenic area on the outermost, it remains a scenic area, that can’t be changed!

Moreover, this isn’t complicated, now the valuable things in Medicine King Valley have disappeared, just moving people outward will suffice!

”Yes! Understood!” The Sect Master also understood the importance of this matter.

Once this matter was resolved, Lu Xiaobu looked at the old poison: ”I want to use that favor now.”

”Master Lu, please speak.” The old poison immediately straightened up.

”I want permanent usage rights of this tree!” Lu Xiaobu said decisively.

”This...” The old poison hesitated.

This isn’t a small matter, although the secret hasn’t been fully cracked yet, adding in the word permanent, it’s no longer a trivial matter!

”Rest assured, I only want it for one person! Which is to say, I can send someone here at any time to use the ancient tree, the ownership is still yours in Medicine King Valley, I just want usage rights!” Lu Xiaobu said again.

”This... okay!” After hesitating for a moment, the old poison still agreed.

He had two considerations, one was that it’s for only one person, so it doesn’t have much impact.

The second was that giving Lu Xiaobu such benefits would clearly expedite him helping to decipher the secret of the tree.

And before deciphering it, there aren’t many benefits anyway!

He, as a Grandmaster, couldn’t gain much benefit!

Ye Changsheng, seeing the expression on the old poison’s face, immediately understood his thoughts and shook his head.

Old poison, oh old poison, you’re still too naive!

Would Lu Xiaobu squander a human favor for something so illusory?!

Which means that at this moment, Lu Xiaobu has already basically determined how beneficial this tree is!
