The Allure of Origin Qi

The Bodhi Ancient Tree was not a highly intelligent being after all, and faced with Mo Tang, who was resistant to both gentle persuasion and force, it ultimately chose to yield.

Of course, it was also because the Bodhi Ancient Tree realized that it had nothing to lose over Mo Tang.

Looking around at the space, which had returned to its original state and was now calm, Mo Tang couldn't help but smile.

That's how it is, step by step...

This young master is determined to have you this time!

Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree possesses terrifying power, its original power was also greatly damaged by the Battle of Bodhi Ancient Tree Dou Di countless years ago.

In addition, over the years, it has been eroded by the negative emotions of that Dou Di, which has led to the Bodhi Ancient Tree not only failing to recover, but becoming even weaker.

Another very important reason is that the Bodhi Ancient Tree originally represents life and kindness, and it wouldn't actually force others to help it...

This is what gave Mo Tang the opportunity to take advantage of.

Isn't this a real-life example of how kindness is taken advantage of?

To paraphrase an old saying, a virtuous person can be deceived by their principles...

Left with no other choice, the Bodhi Ancient Tree had to increase its stakes once again, sending out another fist-sized ball of light from its trunk.

"This is... Bodhi Heart!"

This is genuine Bodhi Heart!

Even Bodhi Ancient Tree needs a thousand years to condense a single...

Sure enough, this cunning Old Tree has plenty of good stuff in its hands, but this stingy fellow refuses to take it out.

Mo Tang raced as he considered what choice he should make next.

It would be a lie to say that one would not be moved by this Bodhi Heart (the aspiration for enlightenment).

But Mo Tang's biggest ambition was to trick this ancient tree into his hands. If he could make it the sacred tree guarding the space of the Four Directions Pavilion headquarters, that would be even better!

What a pity...

After thinking it over, Mo Tang decided to proceed step by step according to the plan.

"Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll agree to help you this time..."

Mo Tang said to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"Splash splash splash..."

Upon seeing Mo Tang agree, the simple Bodhi Ancient Tree became happy again, shaking its canopy and urging Mo Tang to hurry up and get started.

Seeing this, Mo Tang smiled gently, then closed his eyes, and a golden light instantly bloomed in front of his forehead.

A golden dragon, half a foot long, flapped its wings and burst forth from its forehead, then, guided by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, plunged into a special space...

In this space, a dark humanoid figure sat cross-legged, constantly emanating a cold and evil aura.

"Is this the complete set of negative emotions left behind by that Black-Robed Dou Di?"

The little golden dragon looked at all this and shook its head uncomfortably.

At that very moment, the originally pitch-black shadow suddenly revealed two blood-red eyes, like the most evil spirit in the world. With a terrifying scream that could shatter the soul, it turned into a black curtain, instantly enveloping the golden dragon.

"Holy shit!"

Mo Tang was clearly startled by this sudden turn of events and quickly unleashed a ring of Golden Flame to defend himself.

Unfortunately, faced with this terrifying aggregate of negative emotions, his Destruction Thunderflame lost their indestructible effect and became completely ineffective...

The next moment, "Special Energy Body detected. Absorb?"

"Whether."

"Yes!"

Mo Tang answered as quickly as possible.

"Absorb special Energy Body and convert 39.5 points of Origin Qi."

The instant Mo Tang answered, the black shadow that had been enveloping the golden dragon instantly received the same treatment as the Three Thousand Burning Flame before—it was captured by an invisible force and then forcibly absorbed...

"Buzz!"

As the black aggregate disappeared, the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had been as green as jade, suddenly began to hum...

Immediately, a burst of green light erupted, and beams of dazzling green light shot out from the tree, eventually filling the space and making the already abundant vitality here even more intense.

Mo Tang opened his eyes and looked at everything, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really startled when he faced that terrifying thing just now...

"How is it? Is it completely cleared up?"

Looking at the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the latter now seemed to have lost the subtle chill that had permeated it before, and instead exuded a sense of peace, holiness, and wisdom.

"Splash!"

A branch from the ancient tree slowly extended out, eventually resting on Mo Tang's shoulder like a human hand, conveying a strange sense of joy to him.

"That's good!" Mo Tang was also very happy.

One negative emotion from Dou Di) earned him a total of 40 Origin Qi Points, which is comparable to two Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Of course, besides these gains that only I know about, there is also a Bodhi Heart and twenty-four Bodhi Seed.

Or perhaps there's more...

A gray cloud of gas appeared at Mo Tang's fingertip.

The moment the gray cloud appeared, Mo Tang felt the originally rich vitality around him instantly become disordered.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Mo Tang's lips; he knew he had made the right move again.

On this continent, no sentient being can resist the allure of Origin Qi... This was well demonstrated by Queen Medusa long ago.

They used this trick again, and although the trick is a bit old, the effect is very good.

"Do you want it?" Mo Tang asked the simple Bodhi Ancient Tree like a strange uncle.

"Splash splash splash!"

This time, the Bodhi Ancient Tree reacted much more intensely, and its countless branches seemed to come alive, trying to extend towards Mo Tang.

With a thought, Mo Tang directly collected the Origin Qi.

Sensing the disappearance of that special aura, the Bodhi Ancient Tree became even more anxious and began to shake more violently.

"I know that over the countless years, your essence has been severely damaged by that great war, and over the years it has been eroded by those negative emotions, not only failing to recover but actually causing you even more harm..."

"Only this Origin Qi can help you recover faster!"

"Now, I'll make another condition. Forget about what I said before about acknowledging you as my master. I'll compromise: you must completely open your Bodhi Space to me, allowing me to bring people into this space at any time. Moreover, you must provide me with Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Seed whenever I need them... How about it?"

Okay, this condition is said to be a step back, but it still treats this Bodhi Ancient Tree like an ATM, typical of working people...

Although it wasn't working, after a long period of deliberation, the Bodhi Ancient Tree still didn't agree, but instead offered a solution that it could accept.
