Ye Qiubai originally thought that it would take a long time just to find traces of the Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Elder Yao here, Elder Yao happened to be treating the ancestor of the Azure Wood Sect. And coincidentally, the Azure Wood Sect possessed a Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood.
If Mo Xun knew that Ye Qiubai had obtained the Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood so easily, he would probably be furious...
After all, he had been searching for it here for almost several years...
The Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood resembles a thick tree branch, except that it is covered with obscure and incomprehensible patterns, and from time to time, a faint green light flickers on these patterns.
The sect leader of the Azure Wood Sect handed the Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood to Ye Qiubai with a pained expression. You should know that they intended to use this thing to barter for other things.
The Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood is a material sufficient to create divine-level Law Treasure. If such a thing were to enter the market, it would likely cause countless forces to scramble for it!
Seeing the sect leader's unwilling expression, Lei Feng couldn't help but scold, "Is that all the ambition you have!"
On the surface, it was given to Ye Qiubai, but in reality, it was to cultivate a relationship with Elder Yao.
What does a single piece of Heavenly Dipper Dark-Bright Wood matter if you've befriended someone like Elder Yao?
Then, Lei Feng looked at Elder Yao, his face full of wrinkles, and said with a smile, "Senior, we have prepared a banquet for you, shall we go now?"
Seeing this Elder Yao smiled and said, "There's no need for a banquet. Perhaps there's something else I need your help with."
Lei Feng hurriedly said, "Please speak freely, senior!"
The Elder Yao smiled and glanced at the sect leader of the Azure Wood Sect, then said, "Does your Azure Wood Sect have a Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool? Could we borrow it?"
The sect leader's expression changed slightly, and hesitation appeared in the eyes of the elders behind him.
Lei Feng stammered, "This... Senior, the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool is used for each successive young sect leader of the Azure Wood Sect to fuse with the Wood Spirit Bloodline, which might..."
The Elder Yao interrupted, "It won't absorb the power of the Wood Spirit Bloodline within."
The sect leader then said in a deep voice, "Senior, the sect has rules that only the young sect leader and those of sect leader rank are allowed to enter..."
The smile on the Elder Yao's face gradually faded.
Lei Feng quickly replied, "However, if it's a senior, then of course it's possible."
The sect leader and the elders were stunned for a moment, and before they could say anything, Lei Feng glared at them.
"We naturally believe what you say, senior. I'll take you there now."
As Lei Feng walked towards the back of the main hall, Elder Yao called out to Ye Qiubai, "Let's go."
Ye Qiubai was stunned for a moment, then followed.
The Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool is located behind the mountain stream where Lei Feng previously cultivated.
After passing a waterfall, we entered a cave.
The surroundings were originally dark, but there were fireflies that looked like they were flashing green light floating in the cave.
The more these green fireflies gather, the stronger the Intent of Unending Life becomes.
Although this Intent of Unending Life was not as solid as that of his master, and its intensity seemed far inferior, it was still extremely rare to witness Intent of Unending Life in the outside world.
The Elder Yao glanced at Lei Feng Lei Feng, who immediately understood, cupped his hands in greeting, and withdrew.
Immediately, the Elder Yao looked at Ye Qiubai and smiled, "Alright, go in."
Ye Qiubai pointed to himself, his expression slightly taken aback. "Me?"
"Who else could it be? This was originally prepared for you." As he spoke, the Elder Yao took out pieces of wood and arranged them around the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool.
Ye Qiubai smiled wryly, " Elder Yao, to be honest, I'm really curious about your identity and strength."
The Elder Yao revealed his usual kind smile, "Hehe, once you are strong enough, you will naturally know some things."
That same phrase again...
Ye Qiubai shook his head helplessly, but still obediently listened to Elder Yao's words and entered the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool.
" Elder Yao, what are you doing?"
As Ye Qiubai stepped into the pool, he felt a rich vitality filling his body, but he didn't experience anything particularly special.
After stacking the wood, the Elder Yao smiled and said, "Just circulate your Cultivation Method along the Sword Bone, then hold on. You don't need to worry about anything else."
After saying that, he set the wood on fire.
Instantly, the wood surrounding the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool burst into flames.
These seemingly ordinary pieces of wood suddenly sent wisps of dark, sparkling wood chips drifting around Ye Qiubai. Thick black smoke filled the cave, and the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool instantly began to boil, with bubbles rising and bursting from it!
Boiling pool water, mixed with sparks and wood chips.
Ye Qiubai felt his body begin to burn!
There was no burning sensation on the skin, but the Sword Bone inside the body felt as if they were about to melt!
An indescribable pain erupted in an instant!
According to Elder Yao, as he circulated the Primordial Sword Scripture, infusing his immortal Immortal Qi and Sword Intent around the Sword Bone, a painful roar was forced out of his throat.
Roars echoed from the cave.
Outside the cave, in the mountain stream.
The Azure Wood Sect looked at Lei Feng and asked in confusion, "Ancestor, why did you let them enter the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool? This is the very foundation of our Azure Wood Sect!"
Lei Feng sighed and said, "The foundation of a sect? How can we talk about the foundation of a sect in front of a powerhouse that even I cannot see through? If the other party wants to, I'm afraid even if we use all the power of the sect, we still won't be able to stop them."
"In this situation, why should we adhere to our ancestral precepts? We should instead befriend this senior. By befriending him, we can ensure the prosperity of our Azure Wood Sect!"
Azure Wood Sect said with a grave expression, "But..."
As he spoke, Azure Wood Sect could only sigh as he finished speaking.
Lei Feng patted the Azure Wood Sect on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes, you have to learn to be flexible. Blindly developing without a plan will only lead to a bottleneck or even destruction."
At this moment, the Elder Yao also came out.
Seeing this, Lei Feng and Azure Wood Sect stepped forward together.
"How did it go, senior?" Lei Feng asked.
The Elder Yao smiled and said, "Just wait and see. Don't worry, you won't lose out."
Lei Feng said with a smile, "It's certainly not a loss for us to satisfy you, senior."
"Satisfy me?" The Elder Yao smiled and shook his head, turning to look at the cave, where painful roars still echoed.
"You've exchanged the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool for his favor; you're not at a loss."
Lei Feng was taken aback.
The Elder Yao continued, "You'll see later that the Azure Wood Sect will rise to unprecedented heights because of him."
Hearing this, Lei Feng's expression turned grave, and he nodded heavily. "I understand..."
Inside the cave.
Ye Qiubai was soaking in the boiling Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool, his clothes completely burned away, and the veins on his muscles bulged.
More than the excruciating pain, he was concerned about what the Elder Yao had just told him.

P. S.: I wrote "Feng" as "Feng" in Lei Feng's name... which caused it to fail the review process. I only realized it was stuck in the review process yesterday when I scheduled the post, so I'm releasing it now. Sorry...
