Chapter 1000: Chapter 616: Great Fortune, Wealth Rivaling Nations, Soul-dripping Tree Crystal (2)

Using Soul Power to drag these overflowing Soul-dripping Tree Sap, Lu Lin carefully placed them in a gourd with its own internal space, a common treasure used by cultivators in the Longyuan World to store liquids, the Four Seas Gourd.

The price isn’t very expensive, and previously Lu Lin had no need for this item, so he wasn’t aware of it.

It was only during his time at Refining Star Mountain, living and working with Mi Yue for an extended period, that he learned of the various uses of the Four Seas Gourd and decided to buy several to carry with him.

Unexpectedly, it played a crucial role at this moment.

Otherwise, the Soul-dripping Tree Sap itself has the effect of repairing and restoring Soul Power, and casually storing it in a space ring could lead to a loss of its effect.

As Lu Lin stored the Soul-dripping Tree Sap, Hao Datong, who was nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, this time he managed to escape.

After being taken back by Lu Lin, it’s highly likely he’ll be sent to General Mountain, where someone will definitely interrogate him. But, regarding key information about the Imprisoned Immortal Mountain, he had already deleted it from his memory and transferred it entirely to a small separated avatar.

Now, if his main Spirit encounters any trouble, he can calmly self-destruct.

Though this would lead to enormous loss, it’s not something Hao Datong wishes for.

Just no choice, later, whenever there’s a chance, he intends to try, continually trying to leave General Mountain.

After all, as long as one can live well, nobody wants to self-destruct.

Now without any worries, as he watched Lu Lin’s actions, a trace of envy and jealousy flickered in his eyes.

This Soul Droplet Ancient Tree was originally his goal.

To acquire this ancient tree, Hao Datong had arranged the Nine Heavy Heaven Earth Grinding Plate Array on the outskirts of the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Tribe in advance.

This array was initially planned to be used in the Demon Slaying Sect, but after Lu Lin discovered his trace, Hao Datong used his avatar to gather all the array plates, and upon escaping, he coincidentally encountered this Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Tribe and thought to replenish his Soul Power.

Got captured for sacrifice.

Reverse sacrifice of tens of thousands of Demon Race in the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Tribe.

In the end, plundering all the Soul-dripping Tree Sap and the tribe’s accumulated wealth over thousands of years, this was Hao Datong’s aim.

It was a nice vision, but the plan changed quickly.

He only guessed the beginning but not the end.

First, the resistance of the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree exceeded his expectations, followed by encountering Lu Lin, truly a year of misfortune.

One miscalculation, the entire plan was lost.

Thinking about how his supposedly foolproof plan these past few days has now fallen apart, Hao Datong couldn’t help but sigh.

If he had eyes, if he had a body now, when seeing the continuously overflowing Soul-dripping Tree Sap from the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree, Hao Datong would be red-eyed, even if dead he would want to snatch Lu Lin’s Four Seas Gourd.

The reserve of Soul-dripping Tree Sap inside the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree far exceeded Lu Lin’s estimation.

He thought that this valuable item, even if plentiful, would have a limit, thinking a large tank should not be too little.

However, in just this short time, Lu Lin had already filled about a dozen large tanks worth, but the speed at which the Soul-dripping Tree Sap was overflowing showed no sign of decreasing.

This reserve is really too vast.

Lu Lin multitasked, using Soul Power to control and store the Soul-dripping Tree Sap into the Four Seas Gourd, while also diverting a strand of Soul Power through the broken knife’s split into the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree’s interior.

Under normal circumstances, the interior of the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree is completely isolated from the Soul Power detection of cultivators.

It specializes in Soul Power manipulation, how could it allow humans or demon beasts to probe into it?

But now, the original consciousness of the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree was obliterated by Hao Datong, and the tree bark, which was deemed an absolute defense against soul power, was effortlessly split by Lu Lin, causing the entire defense system to collapse.

"Gurgle gurgle."

Lu Lin’s strand of awareness just entered the trunk of the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree when he discovered a startling scene.

The Soul Droplet Ancient Tree, seeming to have only a diameter of ten meters and a height of about eighty meters with lush branches and leaves, turned out to have an internal space totally different from its exterior.

This information was something Lu Lin never found in any book introducing the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree.

After all, humans powerful enough to own a Soul Droplet Ancient Tree have no need to flaunt it.

And those without a Soul Droplet Ancient Tree have only seen it from afar, at most touching it closely, how could anyone directly break it open and enter its trunk to watch?

The interior of the trunk is an unimaginably vast space.

Lu Lin estimated it to have a range of at least a thousand meters, filled endlessly with Soul-dripping Tree Sap, and new sap continually condensed and fell from above.

Even if the consciousness vanishes, this Soul Droplet Ancient Tree still instinctively accumulates Soul-dripping Tree Sap.

Of course, it might also be because Hao Datong recently helped the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree absorb so much of the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Clan’s flesh, expediting its Soul-dripping Tree Sap condensation speed.

Regardless of the situation or reason.

Lu Lin knows that he... struck gold!

Aside from the Eight Holy Grounds and other such top-tier existences, no other force’s wealth could compare to Lu Lin’s current possession.

Rich enough to rival a nation.

Truly rich enough to rival a nation, an overnight fortune.

Excited for a moment, Lu Lin suddenly realized, he was still outside that small opening using the Four Seas Gourd to store Soul-dripping Tree Sap, a gesture that usually seemed extremely extravagant, now appeared utterly ridiculous in the face of this endless Soul-dripping Tree Sap.
