C932 Fire Essence
After about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Kai finally saw the ancient tree slowly stop growing. When the branches returned to its sturdy state, it finally stopped growing and did not change for a long time.
"Mm …"
Although the old tree's current stature was quite inferior to its previously overwhelming body size, it was, after all, a survivor. Zheng Kai was already quite satisfied with being able to recover half of its former body size.
What made him even more gratified was that although the ancient tree was far from being as strong as it was before, it was indeed a new body. Under the condition that the most important Sagacity to the ancient tree wasn't harmed in the slightest, allowing him to regain his body and cultivate again, this was also an extremely rare opportunity.
"Little brother, thank you …"
After completely absorbing his life essence into his body, the ancient tree regained its ability to speak. Zheng Kai could hear the rustling of his leaves above his head as he thanked Zheng Kai with his unique desolate voice.
"Haha, there is no need to be polite …"
While he was talking, Zheng Kai was in the same posture as an old official inspecting the old tree. He circled the old tree with his hands behind his back and frowned slightly.
Although his tone was relaxed and at the same time, his mood was very gratifying, but for some reason, Zheng Kai felt like it wasn't perfect in any way …
"Right!"
When his sight inadvertently landed on the branch that the ancient tree had just revealed, a dot of spiritual light suddenly entered his mind. Zheng Kai finally caught that bit of disharmony.
"How are your roots?"
Zheng Kai asked this because he remembered the ancient tree's cultivation goal... Or it could be said that he had ambition. He needed to collect the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only after obtaining the full body of the Five De would he be able to cultivate to a humanoid form.
In fact, no matter if it was Zheng Kai or the ancient trees, even the Hanba that was just killed by Zheng Kai, they all knew that this was extremely difficult. Otherwise, with the ambition of the Hanba, it would not only focus on the fire attribute, it would also let the ancient trees beside it that have a pure wood attribute not cause trouble for so long.
This was because there was one of the biggest difficulties in cultivating the Five De body. One had to maintain their original body state before succeeding and could not casually cultivate to a human body!
"Mm …" "Although I've lost a portion, it's still there …"
Facing Zheng Kai's question, the ancient tree remained silent for a while before answering. At the same time, the sand under Zheng Kai's feet rolled slightly and the soft roots slowly penetrated the ground and came in front of Zheng Kai.
Zheng Kai's sharp eyes glanced at the tip of the tree. It was just as the ancient tree said. There was indeed a hint of gold that could barely be seen by the naked eye.
Zheng Kai nodded slightly, then put down the giant rock in his heart.
He knew that if the ancient tree lost its metal attribute, it would be a huge loss to him. Because, wanting to gain another attribute out of nothing was a much more difficult task than activating the Sagacity for Cultivator.
It would be even harder to obtain other attributes. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a gold mine at the foot of the ancient tree, it would be impossible for him to obtain such a great opportunity. At that time, who knew how long it would take for him to obtain the Pure Gold Qi.
However, since the ancient tree still retained its original pure gold qi when changing its body, it also meant that Zheng Kai could use this little bit of refined gold qi as a foundation to develop more refined gold qi. At this time, all he needed was time.
"Mm …" Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a helping hand! "
After considering the pros and cons, Zheng Kai smiled and took out a red ball of light from his pocket.
"Flame Essence!"
At the sight of that fiery-red ball of light, the ancient tree cried out loudly, as if someone had chopped it with an axe. Its voice was filled with surprise, surprise, disbelief, and a hint of … Fear.
The one who was in Zheng Kai's hands was the fire attribute Genuine Qi that he had extracted from the Hanba.
Like the ancient trees, Hanba s were the purest of the single type of bodies. When cultivated to the depths, they could even affect a part of the soil and water, and without doing anything, they could make the surrounding ground crack, evaporate the water vapor, and even allow a hundred years without rain.
When Zheng Kai first arrived at this place, he felt an irresistible heat because of the Hanba. If it wasn't for the ancient tree, which was the purest wood type body, there wouldn't have been any sign of life on this hill.
Also as the purest type of essence, the fire element essence in Zheng Kai's hand was also crucial for the ancient tree. After all, Zheng Kai already had the wood and metal elements in his body, so if he absorbed the fire element essence again, it would be three in five for him.
"You … Do you really want to give it to me? "2
It seemed that after this rebirth, the ancient tree's spirit had also been tempered. Even after seeing the fire attribute essence which was a rare treasure that could control one's cultivation progress and future life, a trace of rare clarity was still preserved in his mind.
"You should know that this item is a rare treasure not only for me, but for yourself as well …"
The old tree saw that Zheng Kai only smiled at him and didn't say anything after he finished asking, so he couldn't calm down and asked again.
This was because he knew that such an exquisite and pure single-element essence had always been something that cultivators rushed to obtain. Whether it was cultivation, refining, or simply collecting, such a piece of fire attribute essence could cause the cultivation world to tremble.
And now, Zheng Kai was so easily supporting it saying that it was going to give it to him. No matter what, the ancient tree could not simply believe it.
At the same time, based on his understanding of Zheng Kai, he knew that he wouldn't use such words to joke around with him. The reason he asked was to confirm it subconsciously, but in reality, Ancient Tree wasn't worried or suspicious at all about Zheng Kai's promise.
"Haha …"
Finally, after hanging the ancient tree for a long time, Zheng Kai couldn't hold it anymore. He laughed out loud and flicked his finger, sending the red ball of light that was emitting warm heat towards the ancient tree.
With the same warm smile on his face, Zheng Kai didn't seem to care about this kind of treasure that could make the cultivation world go crazy.
"This is for you. I wish you an early attainment of the Five De Body."
