Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 377 Soul-Nourishing Wooden Fish

Entering the fifth floor, the spiritual energy was much stronger than the fourth floor. Liu Xing took a deep breath and continued to look for his wife.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The earth-shaking sound of bombings filled the air! How much more powerful was a Nascent Soul expert than a Core Formation expert?

"Brother Wu!" Liu Xing's eyes lit up when he met his old acquaintance Wuyazi.

I saw Wuyazi waving the Thousand-Leaf Whisk, attacking the restrictions of a palace in front of him with great courage, and making strange "wow wow" sounds.

"Brother Liu! Is it really you?" Upon hearing Liu Xing's voice, Wuyazi jumped for joy and jumped in front of Liu Xing.

"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay! I've been worried about you." Wuyazi looked at Liu Xing carefully several times, and when he saw that he was not hurt, he finally let go of his worries.

"By the way, why is my sister-in-law not here?" Wuyazi looked around and saw that Liu Xing was alone and did not see Nie Xiaoqian. His heart, which had just been relieved, was in suspense again. Could it be that something unexpected had happened to him?

"Brother Wu, Qian'er and I separated after entering the Chaos Tower. I haven't found her since we came out. Have you seen her?" Liu Xing asked anxiously.

"Your sister-in-law came in with you? That's good, that's good." Wuyazi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. His heart couldn't bear all the shocks.

"Well, he disappeared after he came out." Liu Xing was anxious.

"Have you searched all four floors?"

"I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it."

"I haven't seen anything here on the fifth floor yet. How about I go with you to look for it?" Wuyazi was truly a man of honor. He threw his whisk over his shoulder and prepared to abandon the palace and follow Liu Xing. He had always felt guilty about Lei Jing's encounter with Mao Huzi.

"Thank you, Brother Wu, but you are busy now, and I have delayed your treasure hunt." Liu Xing was quite moved to see that Wuyazi was so loyal.

"Hunting for treasure is not as important as finding my brother and sister-in-law. Let's go!" Wuyazi said indifferently and urged Liu Xing to go and look for them quickly.

"Brother Wu is so loyal and righteous, I'm touched. I'll help you break this formation first, and then we'll go find Qian'er together." Liu Xing pondered for a moment, and decided to return the favor. He decided to help Wuyazi first, since it wouldn't cost him much to find her. With that, he walked towards the palace and began to study how to break the barrier.

"Brother, this restriction is very powerful. I have been attacking it for a long time but couldn't shake it at all. It can't be broken in a short time. Forget it, forget it. Let's go find someone." Wuyazi saw Liu Xing actually ran over to break the formation, and immediately chased after him to persuade him.

Liu Xing studied the barrier intently and discovered it was the same technique as the barrier in the storage room on the fourth floor, and about the same strength as the barrier at the entrance to the fifth floor. He had a good idea and quickly came up with a plan for breaking the formation. He pulled out a few barrier-breaking cones, tried a few times, and then prepared to take action.

"Brother Liu, please don't waste time. Let's go find someone quickly. I'm not saying this to you, but breaking the ban is not your forte. Your sister-in-law is the master of formations!" Wuyazi looked as if he was disappointed in his son.

"Boom!" As Liu Xing's several forbidden-breaking cones hit several key points at the same time, and then his magic power was mobilized, the formation shattered with a bang.

"You! You!" Wuyazi, who had been chattering non-stop, suddenly felt his eyes drop to the ground. The restriction was broken just like that? It was like a dream.

"Brother Wu, go in quickly, otherwise other Yuanying monsters will come to steal the treasure." Liu Xing stood aside with his hands behind his back, smiling and urging Wuyazi, who was stunned.

"Ah, okay." Wuyazi woke up with a start and rushed into the palace. Liu Xing then slowly followed him in. He also wanted to see what was different about this five-story palace.

The palace was also empty, save for a small wooden fish on a low table, which Wuyazi was studying carefully. Liu Xing looked around but found nothing else of value.

"Dong, Dong, Dong!" Three sounds of the wooden fish rang out, and Liu Xing felt as if his soul was nourished and extremely comfortable. His anxious mood due to not being able to find his wife also eased a little.

When I saw Wuyazi again, I found that he was already sweating profusely after knocking the wooden fish three times, and it seemed that nearly half of his magic power had been consumed.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xing was suddenly shocked and rushed to his side.

"It's okay, I just used up too much mana. I'll be fine after a rest," Wuyazi replied. Not daring to delay, he immediately sat down cross-legged, took the mana-recovering elixir, and closed his eyes in meditation.

Liu Xing stood beside him and protected his hair, while his spiritual consciousness also looked at the wooden fish curiously.

"Soul-nourishing wood!" Liu Xing was surprised. This wooden fish was actually carved from a whole piece of soul-nourishing wood. No wonder it could nourish the soul.

Soul-nourishing wood exists only in legends in the human world. Liu Xing had never seen one in person, so he didn't recognize it at first. It's likely Wuyazi encountered it for the first time as well. Using soul-nourishing wood to make Buddhist beads and hang them around the neck for long-term wear has miraculous effects on strengthening the soul. It can also be used to make musical instruments like flutes, xiaos, and qins. The sound of playing them has a miraculous soothing effect on the soul.

Not only is the raw material of this wooden fish extremely rare, but the refining technique has also returned to its original state, which is much more advanced than that of Liu Xing, the master of refining. It is truly a treasure.

Liu Xing curiously picked up the wooden fish, examining and analyzing it repeatedly. While laymen watch for excitement, experts seek the details. Liu Xing focused on studying the production techniques and deducing the skills. After a full hour, he actually figured out some key points. Later, he would need to practice them himself, which gave him some new ideas for creating the Nascent Soul puppet.

"Brother Liu, can you tell the origin of this wooden fish?" Wuyazi woke up slowly and saw Liu Xing playing with the wooden fish over and over again, so he asked.

"Brother Wu, you're awake. This wooden fish is a treasure, you must take good care of it." Liu Xing said to Wuyazi excitedly.

"It is carved from a whole piece of soul-nourishing wood, one of the three sacred trees that are extinct in the world. The refining technique also surpasses the so-called refining masters in the world. Carrying it with you can nourish the spirit and calm the mind." After Liu Xing finished the introduction, he handed the wooden fish to Wuyazi. This was Wuyazi's opportunity. Although he envied it, he would not take it for himself.

"Haha, it turns out to be a real treasure. No wonder it took half my life after a few knocks." Wuyazi was also very excited.

"Such a treasure should be shared by everyone who sees it. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the old Taoist to keep it for himself, so I'll keep this soul-nourishing wooden fish for now. We'll continue our treasure hunt, and the next treasure will belong to you, my dear brother. If we don't find the treasure, I'll find a way to compensate you after we get out." Although Wuyazi was thick-skinned, he didn't want to have it all to himself, so he made a promise.

Liu Xing didn't care. Treasures are valuable, but friendship is more precious. Having found a treasure, Wuyazi was completely satisfied and free from worries. So he urged Liu Xing to hurry out and go find Nie Xiaoqian together.
