Chapter 482: Chapter 261: Longevity Skill Breaks Through to Minor Achievement; Reviving the Withered Tree_3

Moreover, the enhancement brought by this ability to his current strength has not reached an exaggerated extent, roughly estimated to be only around ten percent.

The road to the true Nascent Soul Cultivator level is still long and distant.

Not to mention, the abilities possessed by Nascent Soul Cultivators are not limited to just manipulating Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In terms of both quality and quantity of mana, they are far beyond what Xu Ping can currently achieve.

With this thought, Xu Ping finally calmed down.

"As I am now, I am still far from the Nascent Soul Level, but this is also a very good start."

"Once the ’Longevity Skill’ continues to progress, reaching Major Achievement, or even Perfection, one day I will manage to manipulate the quantity and range of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

A hint of intense excitement flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

...

For the time being, Xu Ping immersed himself in the exploration of the newly acquired ability to manipulate Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He enthusiastically directed the surrounding Spiritual Qi, transforming it into various simple shapes according to his will, such as shields and blades.

In this way, Xu Ping played with great interest for a full half hour before stopping with a face full of lingering excitement.

Despite the great surprise brought by the breakthrough to Minor Achievement in the ’Longevity Skill,’ he knew there were important matters ahead.

With a wave of Xu Ping’s sleeve, the withered tree suddenly appeared at his feet.

Then, with a flip of his palm, two dull gray jade stones appeared in his hand.

A closer look revealed that these jade stones were the two that fell from the Flame Prison Purple Wood at the Ten-Thousand-Year level.

Surprisingly, as soon as these jade stones appeared, they seemed to have a consciousness of their own, shaking violently, as if trying to break free from Xu Ping’s grasp and fly toward the withered tree at all costs.

"This is really interesting!"

A strong interest flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

He firmly grasped the two jade stones, not giving them any chance to escape.

Jade stones falling from the Flame Prison Purple Wood at the Ten-Thousand-Year level having such a strong reaction upon encountering this withered tree? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This really makes one ponder!

Xu Ping lowered his head, his gaze resting on the withered tree, quietly planted in the Five Elements Soil.

From common sense, anything that can be planted in the Five Elements Soil is surely not ordinary; it might truly be some kind of ancient spirit wood.

If these two jade stones can truly rejuvenate this withered tree, it would be a huge gain.

With this in mind, Xu Ping immediately took action.

He moved to the side of the Spiritual Spring’s eye, feeling the coolness of the ground beneath his feet, with the surrounding mist filled with the Spiritual Qi emanating from the spring.

Xu Ping dug a large pit forcefully in the ground beside the Spiritual Spring’s eye, then filled it with all the Five Elements Soil.

Then, he carefully placed the withered tree inside, slowly covering it with the Five Elements Soil.

After completing this series of preparations, Xu Ping took out the two jade stones again.

This time, he released his hold on the stones.

"Swish! Swish!"

With two soft sounds, the two jade stones instantly turned into streaks of light, clinging tightly to the roots of the withered tree like birds returning to their nest.

Then, an astonishing scene occurred.

These two jade stones began to slowly melt, with tiny, crystalline liquid seeping from the surface, like a fine spring rain, merging gently into the roots of the withered tree.

As the jade stones melted, the withered tree seemed to be infused with powerful life energy, instantly bursting forth with a terrifying suction.

Numerous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, crazily converged from all directions toward the withered tree.

The whistling sound of Spiritual Qi flowing filled the entire space, the noise far more astonishing than when Xu Ping broke through to Minor Achievement with the ’Longevity Skill.’

If not for being underground, with a cleverly arranged array concealing it, such a huge commotion would surely be noticed.

"Has this spirit wood come alive?"

Xu Ping witnessed this scene, his face immediately filled with shock.

This withered tree displayed such a horrifying phenomenon, confirming his suspicion that it was anything but ordinary.

Xu Ping kept his eyes fixed on the withered tree, not daring to relax for even a moment, fearing he might miss any subtle changes.

At this moment, the withered tree resembled a gluttonous beast, insatiably devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In just a brief moment, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this area was completely consumed, leaving a short-lived Spiritual Qi vacuum.

"This is a bit too exaggerated!"

Xu Ping stared at the scene with eyes wide open, mouth slightly agape, his face filled with shock.

In such a short time, draining this area’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was something only a Nascent Soul Cultivator would barely manage.

Yet this seemingly ordinary withered tree possessed such terrifying capabilities, how could he not be astounded?

Just as Xu Ping was immersed in his shock, he suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Damn, if the supply of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is insufficient, this withered tree will be affected!"

Xu Ping clearly sensed that the vigorous life force that the withered tree had just regained was diminishing with the depletion of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Having just snapped out of his shock, his face immediately showed a slight change.

If all previous efforts end up in vain due to the shortage of Spiritual Qi, it would indeed be a great loss.

Xu Ping acted decisively, immediately employing mana to precisely control the spring water of the Spiritual Spring’s eye.
