Wood Spirit Seed

"Bang!!!"

Watching Bulbasaur defeat another hundred-year Gale Wolf under Qing Mu's command, Qing Tianfeng could not help but sigh. "Bulbasaur truly is a marvelous Martial Soul."

"Yes. At first, when I saw Mu'er awaken an External Beast Martial Soul, my heart skipped a beat. After all, the previous example did not seem very promising."

Seeing this, Xu Yao smiled as she spoke.

However, upon hearing this, Qing Tianfeng let out a disdainful snort. "Yu Xiaogang only had 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power. How could he compare to our son?

"Moreover, after seeing Bulbasaur's performance, I seriously suspect that the Gong Pig Martial Soul was not as useless as the rumors claimed. Its Innate Soul Power was simply too low to bring out its characteristics."

Yu Xiaogang was not lacking in fame among Spirit Masters, not only because he had published the so-called Ten Competitivenesses of Martial Souls, but also because he was the Corner of Wisdom among the Golden Iron Triangle. Together with Flender and Liu Erlong, he had once used the Three-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Golden Sacred Dragon, to face a Soul Douluo head-on without falling behind.

That battle alone was enough to make the Golden Iron Triangle one of the continent's top combat forces, bringing them widespread fame.

After all, only a handful of Titled Douluos were publicly known at present. Even the sect masters of the renowned Lower Four Sects were merely Soul Douluos.

"That is true."

Xu Yao nodded in agreement.

But immediately afterward, Qing Tianfeng frowned. "But it has been so long already. Why have we still not found any trace of that Wood Attribute treasure? Could Mu'er's guess have been wrong?"

"Dana, dana~"

However, at that moment, Bulbasaur suddenly cried out, followed by Qing Mu's excited voice reaching his ears.

"Mom, Dad, come quickly!"

Upon hearing Qing Mu's voice, Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao immediately leaped several times and arrived at his side.

Qing Tianfeng asked with concern, "Mu'er, what is it?"

Pointing at the small pond ahead, Qing Mu said to Qing Tianfeng, "The area around that pond has the densest Wood Attribute energy in the entire valley. The treasure should be somewhere near it."

"Oh?"

Hearing Qing Mu's words, Qing Tianfeng was delighted and hurriedly looked toward the small pond he indicated.

Calling it a small pond was not quite accurate. It was actually a somewhat dried-up little lake, with dense reeds and other weeds growing along its surface, almost concealing the entire lake. If one was not careful, it truly might have been overlooked.

Qing Tianfeng then carefully approached the pond. Only after confirming that there was no danger did he allow Qing Mu and the others to come forward.

What happened next utterly shocked them.

The water in the small pond before them emitted a faint green glow. Carried by the breeze, it was absorbed by the vegetation on the shore, making those plants increasingly lush and verdant. It faintly resembled the effects of Qing Mu's Grassy Terrain.

"Looks like the Wood Attribute treasure you mentioned, Mu'er, is at the bottom of this lake!"

Coming back to his senses, Qing Tianfeng spoke excitedly.

Seeing such a scene, anyone with a functioning brain would know that this place was far from ordinary. Combined with Qing Mu's previous deduction, the treasure's location was beyond doubt.

"The aura here feels so comfortable. I have a feeling that cultivating here would be faster than cultivating in the Mimic Training Ground at home."

Xu Yao took a deep breath of the surrounding air. The dense wood elements and life force actually left her somewhat intoxicated.

However, just as Qing Tianfeng prepared to dive into the water to search for the treasure, Qing Mu stopped him.

Under Qing Tianfeng's puzzled gaze, Qing Mu said, "Diving into the lake could be risky. I have a better method."

Qing Mu then called out to Bulbasaur, "Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip to bring up the treasure at the bottom of the lake."

"Dana!!!"

Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, two green vines grew from Bulbasaur's neck and plunged into the ground before it.

Then, as Bulbasaur's Vine Whips continued to extend, they rapidly headed toward the bottom of the lake.

Normally, fishing up something beyond one's sight using Vine Whip would undoubtedly be difficult. Fortunately, Bulbasaur did not need to rely on sight at that moment.

The immense Wood Attribute energy emitted by the treasure was the best guiding beacon.

A moment later, Bulbasaur's expression turned serious. It swiftly retracted its Vine Whips, and two strange seeds that gleamed like gemstones appeared before everyone.

When Xu Yao saw the seed on Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, her eyes widened at once. Covering her mouth, she cried out, "Wood Spirit Seed!"

"Wood Spirit Seed?"

However, upon hearing this, both Qing Mu and Qing Tianfeng were stunned. Wood Spirit Seed? What was that?

Seeing their confusion, Xu Yao hurriedly explained, "The so-called Wood Spirit Seed is a treasure formed from vast amounts of Wood Attribute energy between heaven and earth, along with the life force of plant-type Soul Beasts.

"If a Wood Attribute Spirit Master wears this treasure, not only will it greatly increase their cultivation speed, but under its accumulated influence over time, their Martial Soul may even undergo a beneficial mutation.

"Even I had only heard of such a thing from an elder. I thought it was merely a legend, yet it actually exists."

"A beneficial mutation of a Martial Soul? This seed is actually that powerful?"

After hearing Xu Yao's explanation, Qing Tianfeng's heart was thrown into turmoil.

That was a beneficial mutation of a Martial Soul—something countless people could only dream of. Its allure to Spirit Masters was even greater than that of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Compared to Qing Tianfeng's shock, Qing Mu beside him revealed a thoughtful expression. This sounded somewhat like Life Gold, only a Wood Attribute version.

Xu Yao continued, "It is only a rumor, and whether it is true remains uncertain. But even if the Wood Spirit Seed does not have the ability to cause beneficial Martial Soul mutations, the fact that it can greatly increase the cultivation speed of Wood Attribute Spirit Masters already makes it a first-rate treasure."

Aside from unconventional Soul Bones or certain treasures, meditation was basically the only way for Spirit Masters to increase their Soul Power Level. Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power were also essentially impossible to change, which was why Mimic Training Grounds were especially important.

Any force with even a little power had Mimic Training Grounds of its own. Even some mid-tier Spirit Master academies constructed Mimic Training Grounds for their students to cultivate in.

Now that they had the Wood Spirit Seed, for Wood Attribute Spirit Masters, it was equivalent to carrying the finest Mimic Training Ground with them at all times. Its benefits spoke for themselves.
