There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Coming closer, Xu Changshou carefully examined the 100,000-year-old locust tree.

The old tree was about a hundred feet tall and five or six feet in diameter. Fifty feet above the tree, there was a pitch-black hole that was big enough for one person to pass through.

Seeing this tree hole, Xu Changshou couldn't help but frown. As the saying goes, old trees are hollow, and nine out of ten old trees are hollow.

The 50,000-year-old banyan tree that Xu Changshou had obtained before was also hollow. It seems that this 100,000-year-old locust tree is even hollower than the 50,000-year-old banyan tree.

If the tree is empty, there will be fewer talismans made.

So, when Xu Changshou saw such a big tree hole, he felt a little unhappy.

Looking up further, there was a purple-gold seal on the tree fifty feet away.

It is said that this seal was put up by a strong man from Zixia Sect. No matter who it is, once they move the seal, they will be monitored.

Xu Changshou looked around and saw no one around. He flew into the air, came to the seal, and swung his sword to cut it off.

……

"Oh no! Someone has disturbed the old locust tree!"

"Who is so bold!"

"Hurry, hurry, send someone to the Qingmu Great Rift Valley."

"You damned thief, you're really courting death!"

The moment the seal was cut, it was immediately sensed by others.

Soon after, people from Qingxuan Sect and Canghai Sect received the news. At the same time, more than ten void-refining cultivators were alarmed.

"What? Someone wants to attack the old locust tree."

"Without further delay, we must head to the Qingmu Great Rift Valley."

"Hurry, hurry, apply for teleportation permission and activate the teleportation array!"

……

dang dang...

After cutting off the seal, Xu Changshou swung the Fire Spirit Sword and chopped at the tree trunk several times. His sword could only leave white marks on the tree trunk and could not cause any damage to it.

Xu Changshou couldn't help but be secretly shocked. It was indeed a hundred thousand year old locust tree, and low-level magic weapons couldn't even cut it.

"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist. Please come in and have a chat!"

A muffled sound suddenly rang in his ears, and at the same time, a terrifying spiritual sense enveloped Xu Changshou.

This divine consciousness carries a terrifying pressure, and the owner of this divine consciousness must be a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

"Who?"

Xu Changshou was shocked when he heard this and felt creepy in an instant.

He could never have imagined that there was a powerful Void Refining expert hidden here.

"Don't be afraid, fellow Daoist. I am the spirit of this tree. Please come in and have a chat."

The voice spoke again, and Xu Changshou realized that the voice actually came from the tree hole.

Moreover, he could feel the kindness of that divine consciousness.

Tree Spirit...

Xu Changshou looked at the dark tree hole, his eyes flickering, but he did not relax his vigilance.

"Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions. Please come in and have a chat!"

"Senior, sorry to bother you!"

Xu Changshou slowly descended to the tree hole and took a look inside.

I vaguely saw an old man with kind eyes, snow-white hair and beard, and two thin eyebrows hanging down more than two feet long.

"Junior pays homage to senior!"

Xu Changshou saluted the old man inside, feeling uneasy.

He came to steal the tree, but ended up meeting a tree spirit. Moreover, the tree spirit's consciousness was actually at the level of refining emptiness, which made him feel incredible.

Xu Changshou was a little depressed. With the tree spirit there, it was impossible to steal the tree. It was impossible for the tree spirit to just watch it being stolen.

"Well, come in and talk."

The old man nodded slightly at Xu Changshou, and his kind look made Xu Changshou unable to help but blame himself.

He didn't sense any ill will from the old man, so he became much bolder and took a step forward into the tree hole.

At this time, Xu Changshou did not choose to escape.

The other party was a cultivator in the realm of refining emptiness. Even though he was just a virtual spirit, he was not someone he could deal with. If he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him long ago.

After entering the tree hole, Xu Changshou came to a wooden house. The light became brighter and the scenery in the wooden house came into view.

The wooden house was very simple, with only a bed, a table and a futon.

The old man glanced at Xu Changshou and said with a smile, "I am the spiritual consciousness of this hundred-thousand-year-old locust tree. Fifty thousand years ago, I developed consciousness. After tens of thousands of years of hard training, I finally cultivated to what you humans call the Great Perfection of Fusion. When I was about to break through to the Void Refining Realm, I was discovered by the people of Zixia Sect and sealed within the tree."

"This……"

After hearing the old man's words, Xu Changshou frowned. The old man's words had a huge loophole.

How could a tree spirit possibly break through to the state of great perfection in fusion? Moreover, in Xu Changshou's impression, no matter whether it was the human race, the demon race, or the ghost cultivator, it was impossible for them to live for tens of thousands of years before reaching the state of fusion.

After glancing at the old man, Xu Changshou said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

The old man continued, "My tree spirit clan, after breaking through the realm of refining emptiness, can leave the body and practice alone."

Xu Changshou nodded slightly. The remains the old man mentioned were the trunk of the old tree.

"However, once I leave, my true body will die. In order to keep my true body alive, the people of Zixia Sect sealed me with a seal."

"Thanks to you for breaking the seal today, I am now free. Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

As he spoke, the old man bowed deeply to Xu Changshou.

"Don't dare!"

Xu Changshou hurriedly helped the old man up with a respectful attitude, but he disagreed with what the old man said in his heart.

Are you kidding? A sealed virtual spirit can actually break through the realm of refining the void. Even if Xu Changshou tells him the truth, he won’t believe it.

Xu Changshou would rather believe that this is the soul of a cultivator in the realm of refining emptiness, or in other words, a ghost cultivator in the realm of refining emptiness.

Xu Changshou didn't know why the old man was sealed. It might be because he made a mistake, or it might be because he was asked to guard the 100,000-year-old locust tree.

Even if what he said was true, and I cut the seal and saved him, his first reaction after escaping should be to run away, not to waste time talking to me.

He is talking so much nonsense, he must be asking something of me.

The old man smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you saved me. After I leave, I will give this remains to you, but..."

"But what?"

The old man's words made Xu Changshou very excited.

"However, I need a small favor from you, fellow Taoist."

Sure enough, Xu Changshou guessed right. The old man really had something to ask of him.

"Senior, how can I help you? Please stop joking. With my limited strength..."

"Ha ha……"

The old man smiled and interrupted Xu Changshou with a wave of his hand. He said with a smile: "It's very simple. This matter will be easy for you. After it is done, I will give you another treasure."

"What treasure?"

"Zhenmu Spirit Pearl."

"What, the Wood-Shocking Spiritual Pearl!"

Xu Changshou was extremely excited when he heard this. According to his current cultivation speed, he could reach the peak of great perfection of fusion before the age of 1,800.

There are only two hundred years left. To be honest, he has no confidence in breaking through the realm of refining emptiness. The time is too short.

If he could obtain the Zhenmu Spirit Pearl, then within a short period of time, he would have ten times the size of the Wood Spirit Root.

Coupled with the Time Heart Talisman, breaking through the Void Refining Stage is absolutely a piece of cake.
