Chapter 551: Chapter 447: Spirit Plant Transformation, Divine Infant Mushroom

"This also happened by chance in the old days, when I was comprehending the inheritance within the Penglai Immortal Tree. I obtained a Divine Infant Mushroom, yet under the nurturing of the Immortal Tree, this Spirit Plant underwent a transformation, not only condensing an Essence of Ten Thousand Woods but also developing intelligence. Soon after, it transformed into a Spirit Plant..."

"Raising Tian Ling’er to adulthood, speaking of it... is indeed the greatest achievement of my life."

"This matter within the Sect is not really a secret."

Qin Ming, upon hearing this, was inwardly astounded. He hadn’t expected that this young girl was nurtured by the Penglai Immortal Tree.

"Essence of Ten Thousand Woods, tsk tsk tsk, truly remarkable!"

"I didn’t expect this old woman to have such extraordinary fortuitous encounters, actually obtaining such inheritance and creation."

"Though this Divine Infant Mushroom looks small, it is probably several thousand years old and still in its infancy. It’s already a Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Plant. When it matures, who knows, it might reach even higher levels." Even Qingyang the Old Demon was quietly amazed. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Don’t be fooled by the old woman’s words. Her current mastery in Spirit Plants likely owes much to the rebirth granted by this Divine Infant Mushroom."

"When you attempt to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage in the future, you might have to return to deal with this old woman."

After listening, Qin Ming was suddenly enlightened, marveling at the wonder of the Great Dao, being able to nurture even such a transformed Spirit Plant.

He was quite envious of it.

"How is this related to my breakthrough to Divinity Transformation? Isn’t it too early to think about that?" Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask secretly.

But Qingyang the Old Demon seemed to realize he had misspoken and quickly fell silent...

Afterward, Qin Ming took out the ’Penglai Immortal Order’ and asked True Monarch Dragon Wood:

"Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood, you just mentioned understanding the inheritance of the Immortal Tree. Can this token be used for one opportunity?"

"Indeed, but the comprehension of the Great Dao of the Penglai Immortal Tree is restricted for cultivators outside the Sect." True Monarch Dragon Wood answered truthfully, "Generally speaking, the amount of Penglai Immortal Orders sent externally is very small."

Qin Ming surprisingly asked, "Oh? What are the restrictions?"

"Cultivators outside the Sect with a Penglai Immortal Order can only comprehend the Great Dao below the 5th Layer of the tree crown and cannot obtain the core inheritance of our Sect."

"But as long as they are elders or disciples within our Sect, there is no such restriction. If their cultivation is sufficient, they can comprehend the inheritance higher up in the tree crown." True Monarch Dragon Wood explained.

Then, suddenly changing the topic with a smile, she said to him, "How about Fellow Daoist Qin joining the Penglai Sect? With your mastery in Spirit Plants, you might obtain a great opportunity on the Penglai Immortal Tree."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s mouth twitched. Here it comes again?

’The Heaven-Devouring Rat was right. I am already excellent enough, and now even a Nascent Soul Sect wants to recruit me, a Loose Cultivator.’

"Hehe! Thank you for the kind offer, Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood. However, I am not very interested in joining forces." Qin Ming politely replied.

True Monarch Dragon Wood sighed regretfully, saying:

"Alas~ how truly unfortunate, but Fellow Daoist Qin’s ambition lies elsewhere, and I cannot force it upon you."

"In that case, rather than comprehending the Great Dao on the Upper Immortal Tree, I suggest Fellow Daoist Qin use the Penglai Immortal Order to visit the Library Pavilion."

"What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood?" Qin Ming asked.

"Because the comprehension of the Great Dao on the Penglai Immortal Tree is not easily obtainable, the higher the tree crown, the harder it is to gain anything."

"Even within our Sect, only a few disciples have gained anything substantial over the centuries."

"Instead of wasting a Penglai Immortal Order, you might as well visit the Library Pavilion. As an ancient Spirit Plant Sect, we have many books about Tier Four Spirit Plants, which I believe will greatly enhance and assist you, Fellow Daoist Qin."

"However, how you use this token is entirely up to you, Fellow Daoist Qin."

True Monarch Dragon Wood genuinely wished to befriend Qin Ming, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages for him.

"So that’s how it is. But are the rewards richer the higher up the tree crown one comprehends the Great Dao?" Qin Ming asked again.

True Monarch Dragon Wood nodded: "Indeed, the rewards obtained from the Penglai Immortal Tree are random. Some might be Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, some might be pill scriptures, some might be high-tier pills, and there might also be a complete heritage of skills, not limited to the Path of Spiritual Plants."

Qin Ming, thinking about how the other party gained such a transformative Spirit Plant from one comprehension, couldn’t help but feel tempted.

He had the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine; even if he gained nothing, allowing it to absorb the auspicious energy of this Tier Five Divine Tree was still a gain.

Qin Ming’s calculations were indeed astute.

So, he said to True Monarch Dragon Wood, "Then I will use this Immortal Order to comprehend the Great Dao on the Penglai Immortal Tree."

"Since I’m already here, I must experience the mystery of the Immortal Tree firsthand."

True Monarch Dragon Wood was quite surprised, as she had already explained everything, yet Qin Ming still chose this.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, think carefully. As an outsider comprehending the tree, the probability of gaining nothing is high."

"Yes, even so, I accept the risk."

"Very well, but as of now, Fellow Daoist Qin cannot yet enter the 5th Layer of the tree crown," True Monarch Dragon Wood continued.

Qin Ming asked, "And why is that?"

"Elder Chen Muzhi of our Sect has just entered that layer to seclude and comprehend, and it will take some time before he comes out. At the shortest, it could be a few months, and at most, a year or two," True Monarch Dragon Wood explained.
