Chapter 157 - Acquiring Wood Element Core
Jian had been carrying Song Yu because she is knocked out. He is moving towards the centre of the forest to find the three-element tree clan. He has to find them to complete the tasks.
After walking for ten minutes, he came to an area. And after seeing it, he was speechless. He didn't move from his spot and continued to stare at it.
Because whole area was covered in different types of herbs and spirit fruits, the highest grade of herbs was five stars, and the spirit trees were two stars.
Trees which he had seen in the other clans were heard. He looked closely and saw that every member of different families was also there.
He couldn't understand what was going on. He was so shocked that he didn't move. He had subconsciously activated Star Gaze, and much different information had rushed inside his head.
He couldn't be bothered to read it. He kept staring at them, and they kept staring at him. After a few minutes, six massive towers of light appeared.
Jian looked at them, and information appeared. He found out that the guardians had appeared. Then he saw every bowing down. He then saw every elder of different clans he met had also been bowing towards guardians.
Jian was confused about why guardians were appearing. He then decided to approach them. The guardians appeared one by one and accepted the greetings.
Everyone stood up. The guardian three-element tree came forward towards Jian.
"Jian, can you give her to me. I have to take her to acquire the wood element core."
"Senior, but we have not acquired three different elements fruits."
All guardians smiled after hearing Jian.
"No need to worry about that you have given her to me. I have already prepared the fruits."
Jian was shocked and confused, but he believed them, so he gave them to him. After that, he disappeared. Only other five guardians were remaining.
The wolf king saw Jian's confused expression, so he moved towards Jian.
" Are you confused about what is going on? Let me explain.
As you have already guessed that we are not part of this tomb but to check the qualification of the inheritors, we have been sealed.
The six fruits you have gathered are not suitable for humans. But with the guardian's help, you can eat them and get similar abilities like us.
So old tree took her to assimilate with other fruits. No need to worry. It is part of the trial. Because after incorporating with fruits, she will be able to acquire the wood element core.
We are helping you, and we have broken several rules because her talent is unimaginable, and we expect her to get the inheritance.
So after that, we can leave this tomb, and we will be free. "
Jian didn't expect such secrets from the tomb. However, he had already guessed about them when he saw that they were using only the required amount of resources to get by when tethering an unimaginable amount of help everywhere.
At the same time, he felt sad for them. Who knows for how many years they been sealed inside the tomb. Even though for high-level cultivators, time doesn't affect much, but it is different for young cultivation.
The information he had gotten from the wolf king was in parts, and he knew that there were restrictions placed on them so that they couldn't reveal much of the information.
Guess that when they thoroughly explore the tomb only, they will know everything about it.
Jian didn't have much to do anything aside wait for Song Yu to return. So he had several doubts, so he asked the guardians.
He found out that the central area is where the following clan heads and guardians are training. The resources he saw are their resources from before they were sealed.
Since because of the tomb, they can't use more resources, so they have preserved them. Then Jian asked about the trees. Because if he had directly moved to the centre, then it would have been relatively easy for him to acquire all fruits in one place.
But the guardians interrupted his thoughts and told him that if he had directly come to the centre, then Song Yu would have to fight the beasts who were training here.
He was shocked when he heard this and sighed a relief that he didn't move to the centre because the weakest members here were at four-star grade, which was impossible for both of them.
Then he found out that trees in the clans are for clan members and trial takers. So it was a good thing that they went to different clans because each trial was planned to help Song Yu improve.
The guardians and Jian continued to speak casually. Other clan members and elders were shocked because they had not seen their guardians talk to someone this casually.
They couldn't understand what was going on. But only high-level members of the clan understood. Because when Jian and Song Yu has gotten their tasks, the guardians have informed them to be careful around Jian.
After talking for a while, Jian decided to ask what he was hesitating to ask.
"Senior, I have a herb garden, so can I take one stalk from each herb. If you can't accept it, then I can take seeds also."
The guardians were shocked because they thought whenever a person asks for herbs, he would take whole herbs, but Jian was asking for a stalk and a seed.
The guardians looked at each other and smiled. Then they called elders of each clan and gave them instructions.
On the other hand, Jian thought that they didn't allow him to take the herbs. So he kept quiet and didn't ask further. Then the guardians asked about the herb garden.
Jian then told them about himself, that he is sect master. He is accompanying Song Yu to complete the task given by the sect tower. He told them his sects grade was only one star, but he thinking of upgrading, so he had taken the job.
After half hour, the elder appeared and would leave a considerable amount of seeds and a stalk of herbs in front of Jian; Spirit Fruit trees were also present. Jian was shocked and looked at the guardians and saw them smiling.
He immediately understood what was going on. He then sincerely bowed towards them thanked them. But when Jian bowed, the wolf king immediately rushed and stopped him from turning.
Jian didn't know why, but he still thanked them and kept the seeds and stalks in the inventory, and told the system to arrange them. The system asked for 100 SP, so he gave them.
Jian and the guardians continued to discuss, and without realising more than two hours had passed, they saw the guardian tree coming with Song Yu.
Jian looked at Song Yu and activated Star Gaze. Nothing had changed except that he could see different affinities in her, and she had gained the abilities of the clans.
Then he looked at the guardian and saw that he was holding on to something. He focused on it and found out that it was a wood element core.
The guardian tree and Song Yu came towards Jian, and Song Yu directly stood beside him. Then the guardian tree explained.
"She has assimilated with the fruits. But she will need time to grasp the abilities—so no need to worry.
Here take this wood element core; I didn't give her because her element and wood element is opposite.
You have cleared the second stage of the second part of the tomb. So be careful about further tasks."
Jian couldn't help but think that she had already grasped their abilities, and if guardians found out, they would be shocked by her talent.
Before taking the core, he again thanked them and even guaranteed them that he would unseal them.
The guardians nodded and smiled because they knew that he was not lying. Jian, they moved forward and touched the wood element core, and as hefeltd, both he and Song Yu were blinded and teleported.
As Jian and Song Yu left the forest, all guardians sighed a relief. They wiped out their sweat and sat down. They told their clan members to go.
When their clan members left, the leopard looked at the guardian tree and asked.
"Did you find out anything?"
She was asking about Jian. The guardian tree told them the similar thing Jian had told them. They had already expected this. When the guardian tree saw their expression, he asked what was going on?
Then they told him that Jian had already told them about himself. Then they discussed Song Yu. After the Aqua Spirit, Fox Queen thanked Wolf king.
" Dog, it was a good decision. You stopped him when he is bowing;g otherwise, the bloodline pressure coming from would have caused us to bow to him."
Everyone agreed to this and nodded while sighing.. Only guardian tree was confused.
