Keen Observation

After trying the soil control part of "Manipulating Wood and Soil", Hsu Yun-hsin is ready to try "Whispers of the Forest".

There are no trees in the mountain right now, so it's impossible to demonstrate wood manipulation.

You can try "Whispers of the Forest"; there are two ready-made spiritual plants here.

With a thought, Xu Yunxin sensed the "heart's voice" of the "Azure Jade Ginseng".

The feelings expressed by "Qingyu Ginseng" and his experience of touching trees and empathizing with them are two completely different experiences.

When he adopts the perspective of the trees, it's a real-time view, and he still needs to make some selections and judgments.

"Whispers of the Forest" summarizes the scenes seen by the trees, allowing viewers to selectively view content and even watch replays!

Although the replay was very brief.

It's so brief, with only a few screens.

Xu Yunxin saw himself, Xiaoqing, the cave, and the green pool from the "Qingyu Ginseng".

The same applies to "Jade Bowl Lotus".

"It's a camera that's been disguised to the extreme!"

Although he only tried it briefly, Xu Yunxin had already realized the enormous potential value of "Whispers of the Forest"!

Overall, the two spells Xu Yunxin acquired this time were actually quite good.

"Manipulating wood and controlling earth" can be used for offense, defense, and trapping.

"Whispers of the Forest" can gather intelligence, which is equivalent to placing wards directly in areas with trees.

Both of these spells are tied to his cultivation level; the stronger his cultivation level, the stronger the spells.

As his cultivation level increases, he will be able to imbue trees with spirituality, and thus be able to summon tree warriors.

I'm already looking forward to it!

The only regret is that I accidentally missed the more precious-looking gourd and pearl this time.

After all, this was the first time, and I wasn't mentally prepared.

But it's okay, we'll have more experience next time.

In addition to acquiring two spells, Xu Yunxin's lifespan has also increased significantly!

Previously, when he advanced to the second and third levels of Qi Refining, his lifespan did not increase.

This advancement to the mid-stage of Qi Refining has increased my lifespan to one hundred and ten years!

Once he advances to the late stage of Qi Refining, he can live for at least 150 years!

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can live for three hundred years!

that's nice!

After Xu Yunxin tried the magic, he took Xiaoqing away from the mountainside, and the two of them stopped briefly on the mountaintop.

He then transformed into a "golden Buddha tree" next to a large rock on the mountaintop and tested the skill: Wild Transformation.

This test was indeed very different.

First, the "Red Gold Buddha Tree" he transformed into changed from pure gold to red gold.

The tree also grew to a height of four and a half zhang, approaching five zhang.

The tree trunk has grown from the thickness of a water bucket to the thickness of a person's embrace!

Besides the overall magnification, Xu Yunxin could clearly perceive that he was able to absorb more natural energy.

Moreover, the "Crimson Gold Buddha Tree" he transformed into was even denser and more robust, and its defensive capabilities were also significantly enhanced.

Furthermore, after transforming into the "Crimson Gold Buddha Tree," his ability to sense the movement of grass and wind within a two-zhang radius increased to ten zhang, a range equal to that of his newly acquired "Forest Whispers."

In other words, after he transforms into the "Crimson Gold Buddha Tree", wouldn't everything within ten feet be under his watchful eye?

It should be noted that "seeing clearly" is something that can only be achieved after the Foundation Establishment stage when the divine sense is refined and the Foundation Establishment cultivator intentionally releases their divine sense to investigate!

Furthermore, the range of divine sense detection is determined based on the level of the Foundation Establishment cultivator. Some early Foundation Establishment cultivators may not even have a range of ten zhang for "clear observation"!

He can achieve this at the mid-stage of Qi Refining!

The key point is that this range will continue to grow as his cultivation level increases!

After experiencing so many benefits, Xu Yunxin thought of the World Tree's growth rate improvement.

After advancing to the "Crimson Gold Buddha Tree", Xu Yunxin needs to use Crimson Essence to further improve the growth rate of the "Crimson Gold Buddha Tree".

That means he has to take down one hundred Foundation Establishment or second-tier demonic beasts!

Okay, the quantity isn't that much~ I'll accumulate it slowly, and eventually I'll have enough.

As Xu Yunxin quietly contemplated the changes in himself and the world tree buds, Xiao Qing, who had been staying by his side, suddenly felt very comfortable being next to Xu Yunxin in his tree form.

Its bloodline resonated subtly with the crimson-gold tree that Xu Yunxin had transformed into; the closer it got to the crimson-gold tree, the more active its bloodline became.

This deep-seated desire for evolution compelled Xiaoqing to climb up the tree trunk.

It lay perched on the branch of the "Crimson Gold Buddha Tree" that Xu Yunxin had transformed into, contentedly closing its newly evolved large eyes.

Xiaoqing had only enjoyed her comfort for a short while when Xu Yunxin's transformation time arrived.

Fortunately, Xiaoqing summoned clouds to drag the snake's body, otherwise the thousands of pounds of snake body would have suddenly pressed down on Xu Yunxin's small body.

Let alone him being just a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, even if it were someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining who had condensed their Qi, they would probably be crushed by his power.

"Hiss~ Little Green wants a big tree! ~Hiss~ So comfortable~ Hiss!"

Xiaoqing circled the snake's body with mist, surrounding Xu Yunxin but refusing to come down, clearly not having had enough fun.

Xu Yunxin had no choice but to transform again to let Xiaoqing have her fill, and only then did he coax Xiaoqing into taking him down to Qingxi Town on a cloud.

The first-order magic array currently deployed in Qingxi Town can only defend the wall on the south side; the north side is unobstructed.

With the clouds and mist obscuring their view, Xiaoqing and Xu Yunxin entered the town silently and appeared directly inside the town lord's mansion.

The sudden appearance of a man and a snake startled Uncle Fu, who was deep in thought.

Uncle Fu calmed himself down a bit, then noticed the changes in Xu Yunxin, and almost dropped his jaw in astonishment!

"Young Master! You...you...you!"

Xu Yunxin and Xiaoqing stayed together the whole time, and neither of them noticed that Xu Yunxin's skin was surrounded by a layer of radiant glow.

This radiance is a manifestation of his newly advanced spiritual power, which he has not yet fully mastered, causing his spiritual power to manifest externally.

When spiritual energy manifests, it forms a layer of radiant light on the body's surface, which means that the spiritual energy within the body has circulated throughout the entire body and reached every inch of the skin.

This is a sign of reaching the mid-stage of advanced Qi cultivation.

"Young Master said yesterday that he was at the third level of Qi Refining, and now, after only half a day, he's back at the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"

"Can you advance to a minor realm in a single day?"

"Is this the terrifying aspect of the 'Chosen One'?!"

In Uncle Fu's eyes, the young master was blessed with supernatural powers, so he was naturally the "chosen one".

It's normal for the young master to be stronger, but this abnormal growth rate still refreshed his worldview once again.

Xu Yunxin smiled slightly and told a lie that Uncle Fu would most likely believe.

"Uncle Fu, I was planting trees on the back mountain when I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had an epiphany, which improved my cultivation level."

"Another epiphany!?"

Can planting trees lead to enlightenment for cultivators?

Uncle Fu murmured something under his breath, already accepting it in his heart.

After Xu Yunxin had nurtured the "Golden Sunflower" once, Uncle Fu returned the storage bag and whispered.

"Young master, there's more than half snake meat in here. I've picked out the good parts and packed them away. You can keep them to eat at your leisure."

Xu Yunxin had just taken it when Yue Shaohua rushed in, shouting, "Young Master Xu, something terrible has happened!"
