My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

Chu Ci carefully recalled the changes that the golden pen had undergone.

At first, it was only discovered by chance that this mysterious golden pen could absorb the energy of the talisman pen. As time went on, the amount absorbed gradually increased, and the golden pen actually condensed from a state of nothingness into a solid entity that could be held firmly in the hand, and its hardness was beyond imagination.

After entering the physical form, although the golden pen could no longer absorb the talisman pen, it could absorb spiritual weapons. This discovery once made Chu Ci fall into deep thought.

This time, the golden pen once again absorbed the Nine Netherworld Taiqing Lock, which was a magic weapon. Moreover, after absorbing it, it had a new change, and could grow freely under the control of the divine consciousness.

All of this seems to point to one conclusion: gold pens are constantly evolving and upgrading.

Chu Ci speculated that the golden pen needed to absorb the energy of a magical instrument to upgrade from the initial level one to the level two. Recalling that time, the talisman pens it absorbed were all level one talisman pens regardless of their grade, and their essence could also be regarded as a kind of magical instrument.

When the energy provided by the magic weapon accumulates to a certain level, the golden pen reaches the second level, which is the later physical form.

After entering the second level, the golden pen's demand for magic tools has been saturated, and it needs to absorb more refined spiritual power, that is, spiritual tools or higher-level treasures.

The huge spiritual power on the Jiuyou Taiqing Lock just now was absorbed by the golden pen, causing the pen to undergo another qualitative change and reach the third level form.

If this inference is correct, then the golden pen in front of Chu Ci should have surpassed its previous limits and can no longer absorb the energy from the spiritual weapon.

Chu Ci took out a spiritual weapon from his storage ring. It was a large black iron hammer. It was the trophy he got when he killed everyone in Wulong Village. It was a top-grade spiritual weapon.

He took out the golden pen and aimed it at the sledgehammer. The moment the tip of the golden pen collided with the sledgehammer, a hole immediately appeared on the surface of the sledgehammer, which was easily penetrated by the golden pen.

However, in stark contrast to the previous situation, the spiritual power on the sledgehammer was not absorbed by the golden pen.

Chu Ci's eyes flickered, it seemed that his guess was almost right. With the upgrade of the golden pen, it had surpassed its previous capabilities, and even the energy of the spiritual weapon could not meet its needs.

It seems that if I want to upgrade it again, I must absorb magic weapon-level treasures.

Chu Ci was very excited about the changes in the golden pen. Now it could grow or shrink at will, which also meant that it could be used as a powerful weapon to attack.

Compared to these, Chu Ci is more looking forward to what changes the next upgrade of the Golden Pen will bring.

But it is not possible for the time being, because Chu Ci knows that every upgrade of the golden pen is a huge challenge to the spiritual consciousness. Even if the power of the golden pen is powerful, if he cannot control it, it will be in vain.

Therefore, he decided to spend some time to temper his spiritual consciousness before continuing to upgrade the golden pen. Only in this way can he ensure that he can adapt quickly after the next upgrade and exert its maximum power.

After carefully putting away the gold pen, Chu Ci turned his gaze to the three people on the ground. Yu Rong was already dead, and the old man surnamed Yang was also in doubt. Only Peng Qi was still lying on the ground, unconscious. Chu Ci walked forward and stabbed the old man surnamed Yang in the head with a dagger, confirming that he had no vital response.

Then, he began to sort out the two people's belongings. First, he put away the three black jade cards, which were the key to unlocking the hidden formation in the mountain wall, and the thousand-year-old dark spirit fruit tree was hidden in it.

In addition to the jade token, Chu Ci also found two storage rings. He first opened the ring of the old man surnamed Yang and began to search carefully.

He heard the conversation between the few people just now clearly. The old man surnamed Yang said in a hurry that there was a jade slip in his ring, which recorded the method of reproducing the seeds.

If there really is such a method, combined with his Zi Hai He Chong Formation, perhaps he could successfully replant the thousand-year-old dark spirit fruit tree.

The number of jade slips stored in the ring was astonishing, more than a hundred. Chu Ci flipped through some of them and found that nearly half of them were about knowledge about planting. From these detailed records, it was not difficult to see that the old man surnamed Yang had always had the ambition to take the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree for himself.

Although it is not difficult to find the correct method of continuing the seed from these numerous jade slips, it still requires a lot of time and energy to carefully study the contents of each jade slip.

There is not so much free time now. Chu Ci thought to himself that he should get the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree first, and then find a place to slowly study the secrets in these jade slips.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci took the three tokens in his hands and examined them carefully.

Although these three jade cards looked ordinary, the runes carved on them revealed a hint of mystery. Chu Ci tried to inject his spiritual power into them, and the jade cards immediately glowed with nine-colored light. After the light dissipated, the jade cards did not have any other reaction.

Chu Ci couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Why did nine colors of light appear on the jade token after spiritual power was injected? Could it be related to the nine kinds of spiritual power in his body?

He remembered what Peng Qi had said before, that these three people had started practicing dark attribute techniques since they discovered the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree. This could also be seen from the fight with Yu Rong just now. The black giant that the other party had transformed into was obviously some kind of dark attribute technique.

Chu Ci suddenly had an idea, and once again held the jade token in his hand, injecting the dark attribute spiritual power in his body into it. This time, a black spiritual light appeared on the jade token, and the light became brighter and brighter.

Chu Ci pointed the three jade tablets at the mountain wall. At this moment, the mountain wall seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power and began to vibrate slightly. As the vibration continued, a large crack slowly appeared on the mountain wall.

The rocks and soil on both sides rolled to one side, revealing a huge space. Chu Ci's eyes lit up, and a tall and majestic tree appeared in front of him.

The tree was incredibly tall, about 15 or 16 feet tall, and its branches were full of black spiritual fruits, each as big as a fist. It looked like it was the thousand-year-old dark spiritual fruit tree that the group was looking for.

With a surge of ecstasy in his heart, Chu Ci could not wait to start picking the spiritual fruits. His movements were fast and accurate, and after an incense stick of time, all the dark spiritual fruits on the tree had been picked.

Looking at the empty branches, Chu Ci's lips curled up in a satisfied arc.

The next step is digging. Although the method of subplanting still needs careful study, the more complete the roots are preserved, the higher the survival rate after planting will be. Chu Ci still understands this principle.

In order to ensure faster digging, Chu Ci called out the Ghost Stone Monkey and handed it a shovel-shaped spiritual weapon. Then the man and the monkey began the arduous work.

The dark spirit fruit tree was tall and straight, up to 15 or 16 feet high, and its roots were even more developed, far exceeding the height above the ground. Chu Ci and the ghost stone monkey dug carefully, trying not to damage the roots.

As time went by, the night deepened and the stars twinkled. Finally, in the second half of the night, Chu Ci and the Ghost Stone Monkey completely dug out the huge thousand-year-old fruit tree.

Looking at the results in front of him, Chu Ci couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He emptied Sun Datou's ring and used it to store the fruit tree.
