After binding Mao Yang with vines, Jiang Yuchuan did not kill him immediately.

Jiang Yuchuan originally intended to make the most of Mao Yang's life force and absorb it completely, but he did not expect that Mao Yang's life force was almost gone.

Mao Yang is clearly not yet at the age of a Grandmaster, so in theory, he should not be experiencing a lack of vitality.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Yuchuan directly read Mao Yang's memories through soul searching, only to find out that the reason why this person's life force was greatly damaged was because he had a mishap when he was in seclusion to break through to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster decades ago, which led to a significant reduction in his lifespan.

This is the main reason why Mao Yang is so obsessed with vying for the Longevity Gu.

After Maoyang lost all its value, Jiang Yuchuan no longer suppressed the vines, allowing them to suck Maoyang's blood.

After dealing with Mao Yang, just as Jiang Yuchuan was considering where to go next, the Longevity Gu that had been quietly hiding in Jiang Yuchuan's arms quickly crawled out, spread its wings, flew to Jiang Yuchuan's eyes, and kept swaying from side to side.

"no!"

Jiang Yuchuan knew that the Longevity Gu wanted to absorb spiritual energy, but he firmly refused, saying, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to consume spiritual energy every day, then prove your worth. Otherwise, just be a mascot."

Xiao Qing had somehow climbed from Jiang Yuchuan's wrist to his shoulder, looking at the Longevity Gu with disdain, and nodding repeatedly in agreement with Jiang Yuchuan's words.

It took the Longevity Gu a long time to understand Jiang Yuchuan's words, so it stopped swaying left and right, circled in mid-air, and tried to lead Jiang Yuchuan south.

Jiang Yuchuan's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

What he said just now was merely a trial, but he never expected that the Longevity Gu would actually know something.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Yuchuan didn't delay and immediately followed the Longevity Gu in the direction it indicated.

This trip lasted for nearly twenty days.

Guided by the Longevity Gu, Jiang Yuchuan arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The Ten Thousand Mountains are the largest mountain range in this world, with nearly a hundred continuous, staggered peaks.

The number of plants and animals growing in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is countless.

Although the Ten Thousand Mountains are rich in resources, they are also fraught with deadly dangers. Besides ferocious wild beasts, the deadly snakes, insects, and rodents are no less deadly.

Of course, none of this posed any threat to Jiang Yuchuan.

Urged on by the Longevity Gu, Jiang Yuchuan officially stepped into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The journey was fine for the first few days, but as they ventured deeper and deeper into remote areas, Jiang Yuchuan was drawn to the various ancient herbs growing around him. He would stop every now and then to collect them.

To avoid being bothered by wild beasts and poisonous insects, Jiang Yuchuan released Xiaoqing and used her as his mount, sitting cross-legged on her back.

With Xiao Qing, a third-tier demon beast, by his side, Jiang Yuchuan traveled smoothly without encountering any other animals.

However, Jiang Yuchuan soon realized that something was wrong.

During the ten-odd days he spent venturing deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains, Jiang Yuchuan clearly felt that the further he went, the older the herbs he encountered became, and the better their quality was.

If this happened only occasionally, Jiang Yuchuan could understand it, but when it happened all the time, and seemed to follow some kind of growth pattern, it was something to think about deeply.

This led Jiang Yuchuan to speculate that perhaps the Longevity Gu was guiding him to find something related to this strange phenomenon deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Finally, after Jiang Yuchuan had been in the Ten Thousand Mountains for more than two months and had reached the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Longevity Gu stopped.

What stood before Jiang Yuchuan at this moment was a giant tree that was as thick as dozens of people could hug and nearly tens of feet tall.

The tree's canopy is like a giant umbrella that blocks out the sun, covering an area of ​​several miles in radius.

Just then, Xiao Qing, who was under Jiang Yuchuan, looked at the giant tree with excitement and immediately conveyed some unexpected and exciting news to Jiang Yuchuan.

The giant tree contained the very five elemental spirit objects that Jiang Yuchuan was looking for!

"This is truly a case of searching for gold everywhere, only to find it without any effort."

Jiang Yuchuan immediately ordered Xiaoqing to run towards the giant tree.

It was obvious that the spiritual creature nurtured within this giant tree was a wood-attribute spiritual creature. In that case, all the strange phenomena he had encountered along the way could be explained.

What intrigued Jiang Yuchuan was how the Longevity Gu could so easily pinpoint the location of this wood-attribute spiritual object from such a distance.

"Could it be that the materials used by that Gu Saint when he refined the Longevity Gu were related to this wood-attribute spiritual object?"

It seems that only this guess makes sense.

However, Jiang Yuchuan didn't care much about this. The most important thing right now was to get his hands on this wood-attribute spiritual object.

Having learned from his previous experiences, Jiang Yuchuan did not immediately attempt to retrieve the spiritual object upon arriving near the giant tree. Instead, he took out an array plate and dozens of talismans and set up an array that completely encompassed the giant tree.

With this formation in place, even if taking away the spiritual object causes a series of changes, it will give him enough time to take countermeasures.

After everything was ready, Jiang Yuchuan stepped into the giant tree and placed his palm on it. As the "Azure Origin Creation Technique" was activated, Jiang Yuchuan's figure gradually became transparent and emitted a faint green light.

After completing the transformation, Jiang Yuchuan lifted his foot again and walked directly into the giant tree.

A moment later, Jiang Yuchuan, with his ethereal form, emerged, holding a tender green bud the size of a finger.

The process of retrieving the spiritual object was much easier and simpler than Jiang Yuchuan had expected; he encountered almost no obstacles.

After sealing the wood-attribute spiritual object into the spiritual pearl space, no unusual activity occurred within the range of Jiang Yuchuan's divine sense. Everything seemed to be the same as usual.

"strangeness……"

Just as Jiang Yuchuan was wondering, he suddenly sensed that the life force within the giant tree in front of him was rapidly draining away, and large swathes of it were turning yellow and withering at a visible speed.

"I didn't expect that only you would be affected."

This giant tree is at least several thousand years old, and Jiang Yuchuan naturally wouldn't let it wither and die in vain, so he immediately activated his spiritual power and began to inject it into the giant tree.

As the spiritual energy injected by Jiang Yuchuan rapidly spread through the branches of the giant tree, the tree gradually recovered and even became more lush and verdant than before.

After saving the giant tree, Jiang Yuchuan did not leave immediately, but chose to stay in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After all, there are still many high-quality medicinal herbs here that he hasn't dug up yet. If he were to leave just like that, Jiang Yuchuan would inevitably feel a little regretful.

As Jiang Yuchuan prepared to set off to choose a mountain to open a cave dwelling, he did not forget the greatest contributor to this search for spiritual objects, so he summoned the Longevity Gu.

"You did a good job this time. You'll have plenty of spiritual energy from now on."

After praising the Longevity Gu, Jiang Yuchuan raised his hand and condensed a ball of pure spiritual energy, which the Longevity Gu then absorbed to its heart's content.

Having eaten its fill, the Longevity Gu, as if drunk, kicked its six legs and collapsed onto Jiang Yuchuan's palm, motionless.

Jiang Yuchuan put it into his bosom and, with Xiaoqing in tow, began searching the surrounding area for a suitable location to establish a cave dwelling.
