Chapter 89: Wood Element Sorcery
Standing in the Peach Blossom Forest, Tu You flitted about, wandering aimlessly, “To be honest, this looks quite decent!”
Sang Chu nodded, “These people are not bad. I hope they all stay tomorrow.”
Tu You: “Why do you care about them? By the way, how’s your Leaf Vein Floating Life Art coming along?”
“It’s a bit disorganized. This sorcery is very difficult to control.”
This was a Heaven-tier cultivation technique she obtained in the Monster Tome Mountain Range. It was a secret technique of the Wood Tribe that was not to be passed down. If she hadn’t had a Wood Core and hadn’t used it extensively in the Wood Tribe’s cultivation mountains, causing resonance with the sorcery, she probably wouldn’t have been able to obtain it.
Tu You: “You’ve been practicing for so long and it’s still not done!”
Sang Chu was the most talented Supernatural Ability User he had ever seen. No matter what sorcery it was, as soon as she studied it, she could immediately grasp it.
But now she was saying she hadn’t learned the Leaf Vein Floating Life Art yet!
Sang Chu looked at her hands helplessly, “I always feel like something is missing. It has the form but I can’t exert its true effect at all.”
“Then how about you let me take a look? Two heads are better than one.”
“Okay.”
Sang Chu nodded, forming seals with her hands, and channeled her Wood Element Supernatural Ability to its maximum. Vines extended from her feet, spreading and gradually enveloping her body.
Small white flowers slowly bloomed, and their sweet fragrance scattered with the breeze.
The Peach Blossom Tree, smelling the fragrance of these small white flowers, began to grow wildly. It visibly thickened and split, and finally, in an instant, bloomed peach blossoms and bore fruit.
However, Sang Chu’s side still showed no progress.
The veins on her body couldn’t grow out smoothly. Seeing the flower fragrance becoming more intense and the branches of the peach trees nearing her, they immediately stopped.
Tu You watched with trepidation as the Peach Blossom Tree instantly became like a hundred-year-old tree, involuntarily swallowing his saliva, “My heavens, even though you’ve only mastered the form of the Leaf Vein Floating Life Art, the effect is truly astonishing!”
These Peach Blossom Trees were originally just normal peach tree size, but now they were all incredibly robust, and the fruit they bore was larger than him!
Sang Chu trembled all over, sitting on the ground, panting, “The Leaf Vein Floating Life Art is rumored to be able to revive the dead and mend souls, but the consumption is too great. Even just practicing the form has left me this exhausted. If I were to achieve the effects described in the book, it would probably be a life for a life.”
Tu You: “Not necessarily. The Leaf Vein Floating Life Art belongs to the healing category of sorcery. As long as you don’t do anything that defies fate, it’s quite good for normal healing.”
“I have a Medical Pod!”
Tu You was momentarily choked by her words. Before he could speak, he saw Sang Jing Wen walking up with a large pile of weapons. He hadn’t expected Sang Chu to be here. Seeing her sitting on the ground, he quickly walked over, “Little Sister, what’s wrong?”
Sang Chu: “I was just practicing the Martial Skills I brought back. I’m out of energy, so I’m taking a break. Brother, why did you come up?”
Sang Jing Wen gently stroked her long hair and placed the swords he was holding in front of her, “I found these thirteen swords with Min Feng in the Armory just now. He found his favorite Magic Tool and went to the Cultivation Room to look for cultivation techniques. I was afraid the commotion from practicing with these thirteen swords would disturb him, so I came up to practice. I didn’t expect you to be here.”
Perhaps she didn’t want others to find out before she had mastered it!
Sang Chu didn’t expose his excuse, but softly said, “Brother, can your Mental Power control that many swords currently?”
Sang Jing Wen just smiled, then closed his eyes and mobilized the Mental Power within his body, gradually attaching it to the swords.
The first to fly up was the Broken Saber, his first Magic Tool. Then came a gaudy, pink and tender Butterfly Sword. Third, fourth…
One by one, the swords and Long Sabers all flew up and hovered in the air, making Sang Chu’s eyes widen, “Brother, you’re so amazing!”
Sang Jing Wen looked at the Peach Blossom Trees in front of him and suddenly had an idea, “Sang Sang, could you ask those mutated plants outside to let me practice?”
Sang Chu nodded, “Sure, let’s go out. Oh, right, Brother, extend your hand.”
Sang Jing Wen cooperatively extended his hand. Sang Chu made a few gestures on his palm, drawing something unknown, and then pulled him through the Peach Blossom Forest towards the mutated plant area on the outskirts.
“Little Sister, what was that just now?”
“A Secret Technique that prevents the Peach Blossoms from attacking. With this, you don’t have to eat peaches to resist their attacks like others.”
“Mm, but I’ll still pretend to eat some when we’re outside.”
Sang Jing Wen carefully controlled his Flying Swords. When they reached the outskirts, Sang Chu directly conveyed her request to the mutated plants.
Without any warning, they attacked Sang Jing Wen.
Sang Chu quickly flew away, stepping on a branch for leverage, and leaped up to sit on a higher branch.
Sang Jing Wen stood ready, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
When the branches attacked, he quickly used Sword Control to resist.
But he was not skilled and forgot to pay attention to his back and feet.
A branch attacked from underground. He couldn’t dodge and was entangled by his legs.
Sang Jing Wen’s eyes narrowed, “Sword, come!”
With a light shout, the Broken Saber instantly flew to his front. Sang Jing Wen grabbed the Broken Saber, spun in mid-air, and cleanly drew his blade. The Broken Saber, imbued with Mental Supernatural Ability, instantly severed the vines binding him.
Mental Power is useful!
He increased the intensity of his Mental Power, attaching it to the Flying Swords, controlling them to continuously attack the branches. He himself, holding the Broken Saber, stayed away from the battlefield, controlling from a distance.
Time passed slowly. The mutated plants’ attacks remained fierce, but Sang Jing Wen was weakening, even sweating profusely and his face pale.
Bang, bang, bang—
The Flying Swords fell to the ground one by one. Sang Jing Wen could no longer hold on, weakly propping himself up with the Broken Saber, barely standing, “Thank you.”
The branches waved in the air. He couldn’t understand what they were saying and could only look at Sang Chu with a bewildered expression.
She casually threw a piece of Spirit Stone Jade, and the branches, like madmen, flew towards the Spirit Stone Jade.
Sang Chu jumped down from the tree and walked to Sang Jing Wen’s side, handing him a cup of Spirit Spring Water, “Brother, how are you? Are you okay?”
“Mm, I just feel like the Power in my body has been depleted. However, this Mental Power is really useful. It complements the cultivation of Spiritual Roots and Supernatural Abilities.”
Sang Chu was quite satisfied with her brother’s current state, feeling like she saw the brother from before the Apocalypse. He no longer had that dejected feeling.
“As long as Brother feels good, that’s fine. Let’s go back first. You need to get some good rest.”
Sang Chu helped him up, but Sang Jing Wen looked at her as if he had something to say.
Sang Chu asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”
Sang Jing Wen spoke with difficulty, “Sang Sang, those swords…”
She followed the direction of Sang Jing Wen’s finger and saw a mess on the ground, swords scattered everywhere.
“I’ll go help you pick them up. Wait for me here.”
“Let’s go together.”
Although exhausted, picking up things was still possible.
Sang Jing Wen: It seems I’ll have to use Sword Control Technique cautiously in the future!
Sang Chu: It’s better to let Brother fight less, otherwise, I’ll have to help him pick up swords after the fight.
