A Grain of Soil, a Thousand Years of Life

A treasure that can prolong the life of Sacrificial Spirit?

The villagers all stared at Mu Wanqing in astonishment.

"Wanqing, what did you say?"

Mu Rantian asked in disbelief, "You really found... something that can prolong the life of the Sacrificial Spirit?"

You should know that they, the Wood Spirit Village, have been searching for months.

But, nothing was gained!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mu Wanqing took a deep breath and then took out the brocade box from her sleeve!

She opened it gently.

In an instant, an extremely rich divine Spiritual Qi wafted out of the brocade box!

Everyone's faces showed shock.

This Spiritual Qi, even just smelling it, made them feel that it was extremely extraordinary.

"Heavens! What kind of treasure is this? The Spiritual Qi is so rich!"

"Just one sniff made me feel refreshed and clear-headed... It's extraordinary!"

"What exactly is it?"

Everyone stared intently at the wooden box.

Even the dying Old Vine, at this moment, seemed to be swaying towards the brocade box, its yellow leaves seemingly dancing in the air!

Mu Rantian was deeply shaken. He stepped forward, his hands trembling, and said:

"This... this is..."

"This is sacred land."

Mu Wanqing handed the box to Mu Rantian.

Mu Rantian looked down and saw three grains of spiritual soil in the box.

The entire wooden box was filled with an invisible Dao Rhyme because of these three grains of spiritual soil!

Extremely extraordinary.

Mu Rantian gasped in shock!

"Where... did you find such a priceless treasure?"

He asked, his voice trembling.

This thing is extremely valuable.

If the outside world were to find out, it would likely spark a bidding war among those supreme dynasties.

Mu Wanqing said, "I come from a Small Mountain Village!"

"The Sacrificial Spirit of that village... are nourished with this kind of sacred soil."

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more startled!

The Sacrificial Spirit of a Small Mountain Village... are actually able to enjoy such sacred land...

That's terrifying.

"What... a mountain village?"

Incredulity filled Mu Rantian's eyes.

"Yes, that Small Mountain Village..."

Mu Wanqing then spoke, but Mu Rantian quickly stopped her, saying:

"This matter is best left unsaid!"

He was experienced and Chang Ming that such a force... must be extremely terrifying.

It might be a super sect hidden in the Great Wilderness.

Every word about this force should be considered taboo!

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, but immediately nodded. She understood; even the Village Chief was extremely wary of this Small Mountain Village.

Mu Rantian walked up to the old Old Vine.

He gently picked up a grain of soil.

Then, it was respectfully placed at the base of the Old Vine.

In an instant, the entire Old Vine began to tremble.

Its roots trembled and fell onto that single grain of spiritual soil.

In an instant, the sacred land emitted endless light!

Extremely sacred!

At this moment, the entire Old Vine was bathed in this sacred light, a light that even enveloped the entire Wood Spirit Village.

The men, women, and children of Wood Spirit Village were all astonished; even those standing on the outskirts felt a sense of blessing.

"This aura... makes me feel like I've actually become a year younger?"

"The hidden injuries inside my body are showing signs of healing?"

"Dad... I feel like I've grown a little bit taller..."

The villagers were all astonished.

Mu Rantian, Mu Wanqing, and the others stared intently at the Sacrificial Spirit!

The previously withered branches of the Sacrificial Spirit suddenly came alive.

One by one, green spores swelled up instantly!

Those withered yellow leaves have now been transformed, becoming lush and green!

In an instant, everyone felt that the Sacrificial Spirit had become countless times more powerful...

"The Sacrificial Spirit... is reborn!"

Mu Rantian was extremely excited!

At this moment, the aura of the Sacrificial Spirit is even stronger than when it was at its peak.

Has the Sacrificial Spirit... reached a higher level?

He held the brocade box in his hand, trembling as he stepped forward and said:

"Please use this for the Sacrificial Spirit!"

He prepared to offer sacred soil.

However, on that Old Vine, one branch swayed gently.

A faint, almost imperceptible sound drifted out.

"A supreme treasure; keeping it can bring prosperity to our clan."

"I have already gained a thousand years of life; there is no need to waste it."

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.

They revered the spirit as a god.

But now, the Sacrificial Spirit are actually using the words "supreme treasure" to describe this soil.

Two pieces of spirit soil... earned the approval of the Kexing clan!

In fact, by absorbing just a grain of soil, this Sacrificial Spirit gained a life of over a thousand years!

This sacred land...

That so-called Small Mountain Village...

I can't even imagine!

Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian was stunned.

He nodded deeply and said:

"Yes, sir!"

After saying that, he turned around and handed the brocade box to Mu Wanqing.

"Wanqing, I'm entrusting this item to you for safekeeping."

He spoke, saying, "This is... your destiny!"

He's thinking a lot!

Such a treasure is probably beyond the reach of even the most powerful forces in the Great Ruin Realm.

That Small Mountain Village was unimaginable, yet the other party was actually willing to give Mu Wanqing three grains of soil!

Wanqing... is definitely the chosen one, possessing great fortuitous opportunity!

Perhaps... Wood Spirit Village is just benefiting from this!

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it.

The Sacrificial Spirit has been saved, and the remaining treasures... should be returned to Senior Li and the others!

So this kind of spiritual soil, just one grain is enough to save the Sacrificial Spirit, and I actually greedily took three grains... I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on Senior Li and that terrifying Sacrificial Spirit!

The Sacrificial Spirit was reborn, and the crowd cheered!

"The Sacrificial Spirit is alright!"

"Our Wood Spirit Village is safe!"

Everyone was extremely excited.

But at that moment, a voice came urgently:

"Something terrible has happened!"

A man rushed over and said:

"A large force from Sophora Spirit Village has appeared about a mile away!"

"They... have attacked!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was furious!

"These bastards, they dare to come here!"

"Ready for battle! Ready for battle!"

"Kill them all!"

This time, Sophora Spirit Village's shameless sneak attack caused heavy casualties in Wood Spirit Village, and everyone was already filled with rage.

"Grab your weapons!"

Mu Rantian even issued orders!

The entire village is on high alert.

Soon, a group of people emerged from the mountains and forests.

The team consisted of two to three hundred people, all of whom were adult elites!

The leader among them was none other than Huai Rendong, the village chief of Huailing Village!

"Huai Rendong!"

Mu Rantian forward and said coldly:

"You Sophora Spirit Village, with your wolfish ambitions, are you finally going to bare your fangs!"

Huai Rendong walked out step by step, his face extremely gloomy.

"People from your village killed my son!"

"Hand over the murderer! As compensation, the man will cripple all his cultivation, and the woman will kneel as she leaves the village!"

"Don't force me to massacre the village!"

He stood aloof, his expression indifferent.

"Compensation?!"

Mu Wanqing stepped forward and said through gritted teeth:

"Your son brought this on himself!"

Huai Rendong stared at Mu Wanqing and said, "So, it was you who killed my son?!"

His words were laced with barely concealed murderous intent.

Mu Wanqing shook her head and said:

"He offended someone your Sophora Spirit Village can't afford to offend, so he died!"

Upon hearing this, Huai Rendong burst into laughter in anger.

"Ridiculous!"

"In this area, is there anyone our Sophora Spirit Village can't afford to offend? You mean that old grape from your village who's about to die?"

His killing intent was palpable as he said:

"Today, we will annihilate Wood Spirit Village!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

A tree branch suddenly appeared in his hand!

The Sacrificial Spirit from Sophora Spirit Village.

In an instant, a chilling wind howled across the area.

The wailing of ghosts echoed continuously, and a cold wind blew.

It was as if a giant tree had sprung up from the ground and appeared behind Huai Rendong, while countless infant ghosts wailed and rushed towards Wood Spirit Village!

This is similar to the unusual phenomena that Huai An had previously exhibited.

However, Huai Rendong is holding in his hand at this moment is a branch of the locust tree itself, which is equivalent to its clone.

Its power is extraordinary, almost one-third the power of a locust tree.

It has already surpassed the sacred path!

Huai Rendong knew that the old grape might still have a trace of life left.

Therefore, he decided to play it safe and directly used locust tree branches to massacre the village!

An eerie and chilling aura filled the void, sweeping towards Wood Spirit Village!

The people of Wood Spirit Village were terrified; they simply couldn't resist this aura!

However, right at this very moment...

A grapevine suddenly defied the heavens and grew tall!

The phantom soared into the sky, radiating endless light.

Like a sword piercing into the realm of ghosts!

In an instant, the ghosts cried out in a mournful wailing.

Countless infant ghosts vanished and disappeared!

The grapevines were even aimed at Huai Rendong and the shadow of the old Huai Tree!

"Old Grape... you dare!"

The shadow of the locust tree emitted a hoarse, distorted sound, exuding endless sinister energy, like two giant ghostly hands reaching out to grab the old Old Vine!

However, when the Old Vine pierced through, the ghost hand instantly collapsed!

"No... how could you possibly have broken through to this realm?!"

"Not only have you been given a second chance at life... but you're even stronger now?"

The old Huai Tree trembled!

The Old Vine has arrived!

In an instant, the shadow of the locust tree vanished as if it had been utterly destroyed!

"No!"

Huai Rendong screamed in agony as the locust tree branch exploded in his hand, and both of his arms were gone!

He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the forest!

He coughed up blood and looked at the grapevines in Wood Spirit Village with extreme terror!

That's terrifying...

At this moment, Mu Nanshan and others from Wood Spirit Village had already led their men to charge towards the people of Sophora Spirit Village.

The people of Sophora Spirit Village were utterly demoralized after witnessing the defeat of the Sacrificial Spirit!

"Stop them! Stop them!"

Huai Rendong shouted, struggled to his feet, and ignoring his injuries, turned and ran away!

A hunt has begun!

Until the sun set.

The massacre had just ended.

More than a hundred of the elite troops brought by Sophora Spirit Village have died!

The rest fled in disarray, no longer posing a threat.

"That battle was exhilarating!"

Mu Nanshan spoke up, saying, "We've finally avenged our brothers!"

"It's a pity that that beast Huai Rendong escaped!"

Mu Rantian then said:

"No need to rush. After this battle, Sophora Spirit Village... will no longer be able to commit evil!"

Mu Nanshan then suggested, "Village Chief, let's lead our men and wipe out Sophora Spirit Village!"

Mu Rantian shook his head and said:

"Not now!"

He looked at the Sacrificial Spirit and said:

"The realm of the Sacrificial Spirit is changing... it's about to break through."

"During this period, it is not advisable to wage another major battle, lest it affect the High Sacrificial Spirit!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nanshan and the others nodded in agreement.

"Wanqing,"

Mu Rantian then spoke, saying:

"Go prepare some gifts. Our Wood Spirit Village has received such a great favor... We should go and pay our respects to the senior who bestowed this sacred land!"

His expression was extremely solemn!

This is a big deal!

"Good!"

Mu Wanqing spoke up, indicating that she was also prepared to return the spirit soil as soon as possible!

The next morning.

Mu Rantian, Mu Nanran, and Mu Qingwan left Wood Spirit Village with carefully prepared gifts.
