Chapter 282 The Inadequacy of the Seed of Ruomu (Part 1)

Su Che cannot yet fulfill the wish of the armored giant.

Although the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden does indeed contain the Great Sun Qian Yuan True Fire, one of the seven great true fires in the world, it is enough to completely destroy the magical artifact he relies on.

However, this true fire is extremely domineering, and Su Che's current abilities are not enough to control it.

One wrong move and you could end up getting burned.

Therefore, Su Che broke his promise.

Su San Gongzi ordered Chang Le to move the armored man away and imprison him elsewhere.

Since I've been tricked and become a spirit of an artifact, there's no need to worry about saving me.

What's done is done; there's no way to remedy the situation now.

Inside the Dongji Hall, Su Che sat upright on the jade throne, slowly flipping through the various secret manuals of the Beimang Ghost Ancestor Palace compiled by Huang Kou.

While recuperating from the rich, warm energy here, he was also trying to heal his mind and body, since the gray-clad swordsman's sword strike had indeed seriously injured him.

The armored man had said that the gray-clad swordsman came from the Listening Rain Pavilion, an organization Su Che remembered the vests that the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor and his group used when traveling in the East China Sea.

I wonder if the sword technique of that snake-shaped strange sword has any connection with the Three Swords of Taiyu.

"Little Saint".

Chang Le looked at the wounds on Su Che's body, where innate vital energy was slowly seeping out.

"It seems he was seriously injured."

"Fortunately."

Su Che put the booklet in his hand aside.

"Is there a problem?"

“The young sage once sent me a seed of Ruomu, which I have been carefully nurturing in the Spirit Garden. These past few days, the seed has been emitting some ghostly energy on its own, so I am reporting to the young sage and asking you to take a look.”

That Ruomu seed was originally obtained by Su Che from Zhong Yuan, as a benefit from his previous collaboration with the Yin Yang Dharma King.

It has always been kept in the Qingdi Treasure Garden for nurturing.

Ruomu was originally one of the most precious spiritual roots in the world. Su Che initially estimated that this thing was the same as the Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality. Aren't these kinds of spiritual trees supposed to bloom once every three thousand years, bear fruit once every three thousand years, and ripen once every three thousand years?

So Su Che didn't take it too seriously.

Young Master Su's idea was to take a chance and raise it in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, even if it didn't work out. If he succeeded in his cultivation and attained immortality, he could then wait and see what kind of future this thing would have.

If one's own cultivation is truly inadequate, then one should leave it to future generations.

We can't end up like that old lion, where when the next person takes over, everything is ruined; that wouldn't be fair.

"There's actually been a change?"

"Yes, I don't know why, but there's always some Netherworld energy emanating from it, which has even affected the spiritual herbs you had planted."

Su Che remained silent.

No one knew the quality of those spiritual herbs better than Young Master Su.

This is all grain.

I don't know how much of the grain left in that granary in Tian'an County has been used.

Su Che looked at the golden waves of wheat, the ears of grain plump and full, and the air filled with the fragrance of wheat.

Chang Le led the way, and before long Su Che saw the Ruomu seed that he had placed in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

Su Che frowned and looked over.

The seeds of the Ruomu tree here have indeed changed.

It was just a tiny seed at the time. Although it floated in the air, it slowly rotated, and from time to time, a gloomy aura from the netherworld would emerge from it.

The seed has changed its original appearance, swelling to the size of a fist. Although it has not sprouted, there are already layers of intricate and mysterious patterns on the seed, seemingly explaining some profound truth about the universe.

Strands of Netherworld Qi seemed to be fierce ghosts escaping from the rifts of hell, escaping from the patterns, but were quickly diluted by the abundant Wood Qi in the Spirit Garden.

However, even though the snow had been diluted, the wheat planted around it looked as if it had been hit by snow, turning pale in an instant, and the plump ears of wheat quickly withered.

What a powerful and chilling aura!

Su Che slowly stepped forward, focusing his divine sense on the Ruomu seed. The Ruomu seed seemed to have been stimulated, spinning faster and faster, with wisps of Netherworld energy constantly emerging.

Su Che frowned slightly, but then used a technique from the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual. He drew a line in the air with his right hand, and several magic talismans appeared in the air.

"town."

The talisman rotated, trapping the Netherworld Qi around the Ruomu seed.

"I have heard that Ruomu is located in the west of the world, where the great sun resides."

After obtaining the Ruomu seed, Su Che also looked up some records in books.

The spiritual roots of heaven and earth each have their own wondrous uses, but in the classics, they all seem to have a metaphysical meaning.

It seems to refer specifically to a concept rather than something actual.

Just like this Ruomu tree, there are basically two completely opposite records.

One account says that this object, located in the Netherworld, has the power to suppress all ghosts and nurture them, and is known as the spiritual root of life and death in the world.

Another account says that Ruomu is the abode of the Great Sun, which rises from the Fusang tree in the far east of Tang Valley on the wind and sets off at the Ruomu tree in the far west of Youdu.

However, the explanation was vague. Su Che kept thinking that if this explanation were true, the sun would take off from Fusang, fly to Ruomu and set, and then that would be the end of it.
What flew up from Fusang the next day?

There's always something a bit unclear about it.

However, since someone like Zhongyuan told him personally that this was a Ruomu seed that he had found in Youdu, Su Che believed that such a thing did exist.

But how to use this thing is something you really have to figure out yourself.

Thinking of this, Su Che began to miss the Yin-Yang Dharma King again.

If that senior figure were here, many problems could probably be solved easily.

Just then, a chilling sensation rose from the Ruomu seed, heading straight for Su Che's chest.

The Ruomu seed seemed to have lost control for a moment, hovering directly above Su Che's chest and tearing out his continuously leaking vital energy.

Like a greedy venomous dragon or python, this Ruomu seed indeed treated his fundamental vital energy as food, peeling it away strand by strand.

Su Che felt his vital energy leaking out, and his eyes became cloudy for a moment.

This……

"Little Saint".

A gasp of surprise came from Chang Le's direction.

Su Che felt as if the vital energy in his body had been drained away like water from a dam, completely draining the ancient wonder before him.

His breathing grew heavier, and everything before his eyes became dark. Su Che felt as if he were carrying a thousand-pound burden, and even taking a breath required a great deal of effort.

Young Master Su stretched out his palm, and the skin on the back of his hand looked like layers of goosebumps, with several age spots visible on it.

This time, I'm afraid I really am going to become a ghost cultivator.

A thought flashed through Su Che's mind.

Suddenly, a surge of vital energy, as if enlightened, spread from his chest.

But then the Ruomu seed suddenly fed back its essence.

No, it can't be called giving back; to be precise, it's a gift.

Su Che seemed to have formed a subtle connection with the Ruomu seed before him, and the precious innate energy was constantly returning from the Ruomu, growing stronger with each passing moment.

A faint dragon's roar seemed to echo in my ears.

The fierce sword energy in his chest had vanished without him noticing.

Kara.

A small opening appeared at the top of the various carvings on the Ruomu seed, and a dark wood stem emerged from the same opening. At the tip of the stem, a purple leaf curled up like a newborn baby.

The seeds of the Ruomu tree have sprouted.

Su Cheping stretched out his palm, and the seed spun gently, transforming into a beam of light that entered Su Cheping's chest.
