Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 78: Chapter 76: Relic of the White Bone Tree

The touch of the White Bone Tree was icy cold, with a chill spreading from his palm.

Su Jie was not afraid, he had killed Pei Haibing when he was alive, why would he fear his relic left after death!

Trying to feel around, Su Jie channeled some Spiritual Power into it, and the little White Bone Tree suddenly began to tremble.

The bones rapidly proliferated and expanded, and once it reached the ground, it took root in the soil. The bones continued to branch out and spread, transforming into a White Bone Tree over ten meters tall.

“Eh!”

Su Jie stood up in front of this towering White Bone Tree, sensing the abundant Spiritual Energy diffusing from the tree.

Looking up along the trunk, Su Jie discovered, to his surprise, that the canopy of the White Bone Tree was incessantly absorbing the Spiritual Energy drifting in the air.

The roots that had anchored into the ground were also slowly absorbing the Spiritual Energy pervasive in the veins of the earth.

In the Tianyuan World overall, the distribution of Spiritual Power is such that the Spiritual Energy floating in the air is often the most tenuous.

Beneath the earth veins, lies the most abundant and rich Spiritual Energy, which flows like underground currents. Over the years, this has led to the formation of Spirit Stone Mines and various rare mineral deposits.

The Spiritual Energy that drifts to the surface can, in places where it is abundant, create all kinds of Pocket Worlds, and in areas with less, it can make a region suitable for the growth of Spirit Plants.

For instance, the miniature spirit field that Su Jie saw in Shaoshan Town, belonging to the Chu Family, was actually formed by the Spiritual Energy escaping from the earth veins to the surface.

Now, on this massive White Bone Tree, Su Jie could sense that it was not only absorbing the loose Spiritual Energy in the air, but it was even absorbing the Spiritual Energy from underground.

“Could it be that I have stumbled upon great fortune?”

Su Jie’s heart thumped rapidly, and he sat cross-legged with his palms pressed against the large White Bone Tree.

Upon contact, a surge of abundant Spiritual Energy flowed into Su Jie’s limbs and bones, making him so comfortable he almost moaned with pleasure.

The leaves of the White Bone Tree swayed in the wind, continuously absorbing the wandering Spiritual Energy. The roots reaching dozens of meters into the ground were also absorbing the stray Spiritual Energy in the soil, which cultivators found difficult to utilize.

Tiny crystalline droplets began to emerge on the leaves of the White Bone Tree, like dewdrops in the early morning. Actually, these were the result of highly concentrated Spiritual Energy condensing into a misty and liquid form.

The liquified Spiritual Energy slid down the trunk of the tree, halfway down it was captured by Su Jie, who then absorbed the pure Spiritual Power within it.

Su Jie closed his eyes slightly and focused on absorbing this rare, pure Spiritual Power. Even the barrier that hindered his breakthrough to the Sixth Level of Yunling Realm felt like it was beginning to loosen.

Whooshing!

Torrential rain hit the White Bone Tree. The storm swept away leaves, and in the dim environment, Su Jie sat on the ground with the branches of the massive White Bone Tree swaying behind him, like the menacing claws of a demon.

After absorbing the nutrients and Spiritual Energy from the rain, the White Bone Tree gradually grew rough bark resembling human skin. The top branches grew air roots that hung down like a woman’s long hair, blown chaotically by the fierce wind, giving it a sinister and eerie appearance.

If an ordinary person were to see such a strange tree, they would be considered brave if they weren’t immediately frightened into fainting.

Some fifteen minutes later, Su Jie slowly opened his eyes and looked at the large White Bone Tree before him, involuntarily inhaling a breath of cold air.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Because the contact just now had provided Spiritual Energy that was more than triple what Su Jie normally absorbed from the air.

Such abundant Spiritual Energy was already comparable to some miniature Pocket Worlds.

Even within Ghost Ridge Palace, if there were similar environments with the effects of a Pocket World, they wouldn’t be something Su Jie could dare to covet. Yet this White Bone Tree could actually help Su Jie artificially create a cultivation environment akin to a Pocket World.

Following that, Su Jie continued to experiment and discovered even more uses for the White Bone Tree.

Besides absorbing Spiritual Energy, this White Bone Tree was also a living plant. It could switch between a dormant and a growing state through the manipulation of Spiritual Power—one state resembled a small tree in dormancy, like a seed.

Another was the current growing state, which meant that the tree could continue to grow in the future, and the efficiency at which it absorbed Spiritual Energy would improve.

“Such a treasure, if people knew about it, even the Hidden Realm Elders would be unable to resist snatching it away,” Su Jie murmured to himself, looking at the White Bone Tree with a smile that he couldn’t hide at the corner of his mouth.

Today truly seemed to be his lucky day to have stumbled upon such an exotic relic.

It could be said that with this miniature Pocket World he could carry around, Su Jie’s cultivation speed would greatly increase from now on.

He carefully returned the White Bone Tree to its original state and stored it away, then Su Jie proceeded to open Pei Haibing’s Storage Bag.

This was a sizable Storage Bag of five cubic meters. Inside, there were over 800 pieces of Blood Marrow Crystals and Low Grade Spirit Stones alone, not to mention the elixirs, talismans, materials, and various other miscellaneous items. Su Jie estimated their value to be at least a thousand or so. Additionally, there were two Alien Ghost corpses.

Altogether, just this Storage Bag was worth more than three thousand Blood Marrow Crystals—it was evident that Pei Haibing’s wealth was significantly more substantial than Feng Wenjin’s, whom Su Jie had hunted previously.

But it made sense when he thought about it, as Su Jie had clashed with both Feng Wenjin and Pei Haibing.

One had the cultivation of the Sixth Level of the Yunling Realm, the other the Seventh Level of the Yunling Realm.

Pei Haibing’s combat power was much stronger than the former, and a cultivator’s wealth was often tied to their strength.

For an average Outer Disciple, the monthly income was merely a dozen or so Blood Marrow Crystals, out of which they still had to pay the monthly fee to the Elder, and then buy some elixirs and talismans. They couldn’t save much money by the end of the year.

However, inner disciples didn’t have this problem. Not to mention, Su Jie knew that during the last Alien Ghost incident, Pei Haibing had received no small amount of tribute from his own Outer Disciples just to arrange a better stationed location.

And Su Jie’s gains were not only limited to this. Besides Pei Haibing’s spoils of victory, there were also the corpses of four Purple Mist Sect disciples at the scene.

Quickly, Su Jie harvested three more Storage Bags. Only Chu Pu, the wretched one, didn’t even have a Storage Bag.

The three Storage Bags exploded with a hundred to several hundred Spirit Stones and materials, respectively. Although the iron clothes and iron hats on their bodies were somewhat damaged, Su Jie still collected them. As raw material recycling, they were quite valuable, and covering tracks while destroying evidence was a Demon Cultivator’s specialty.

Apart from these gains, Su Jie did not, however, obtain any Cultivation Techniques this time.

It was understandable, as profound Cultivation Techniques were mostly in the form of Jade Scrolls. Besides when one’s cultivation was insufficient and they needed to repeatedly study the technique, most people kept their Cultivation Techniques at home rather than carrying them around.

Su Jie had even wanted to try and learn the Wanxiang Heavenly Power True Method of the Purple Mist Sect, but now it seemed he was thinking too much.

Fortunately, Su Jie wasn’t disappointed, as the harvest for the day was already substantial.

“You can rest in peace, knowing you’ve met a fitting end. Rest assured, I’ll inherit your legacy and strive to elevate it,” Su Jie said, glancing at Pei Haibing’s skeletal remains on the ground. Clapping his hands, corpse hands, pale as death, crawled out from beneath the Thousand-Handed Centipede. They moved rapidly like nimble little sprites, quickly cleaning up the battlefield.

Finally, he used the Purple Light Ray to destroy any potential traces of himself several times, leaving no blood, hair, or skin flakes behind. Only after confirming that no traces were left did Su Jie leave the place alone, fetching the Horned Scale Horse to catch up with Gu Weonian’s group.
