"myriad wood source crystal—"Qin Tian held the ancient wooden box in both hands, his fingertips clearly feeling the warm, moist touch from within the box, as well as a faint yet powerful and heart-stopping life force.This familiar wood-element spiritual aura reminded him of events from a year ago.At that time, the Green Wood Talent War had just concluded. Because he had shattered the Blood Demon Sect's conspiracy and protected the lives of many participating talents, the Oriental Family, to show their gratitude, had Elder Ke personally meet him and bestow upon him two precious treasures: one was the Void Dragon's essence blood, and the other was the wood marrow heart prepared for Zyra.The efficacy of the Void Dragon's essence blood was evident; it not only helped him evolve his talent to the orange-tier Void Dominator but also qualitatively improved Kha'Zix's racial talent.As for that wood marrow heart, it would allow Zyra to safely pass the "Heavenly Plant Tribulation" that all wood-element spiritual plants inevitably encounter when advancing to the seventh tier. It would also raise the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine's racial limit from eighth to ninth tier, making its future potential immeasurable.These days, Zyra had followed him on many campaigns, especially after devouring massive amounts of demon corpses in the Demon Suppression Abyss. Her spiritual energy had long accumulated to the peak of the sixth tier, just a step away from the seventh tier.But he knew that a spiritual plant advancing to the seventh tier, like an ordinary Spiritual Energy User breaking through to the seventh tier, was not simply achieved by absorbing energy. It also required a transformation at the fundamental level, and the myriad wood source crystal happened to be the best spiritual material to supplement this "origin."Evidently, the Oriental Family, based on Dongfang Mingyue's description, had understood Zyra's current situation, which was why they specifically chose this precisely fitting gift of gratitude.In terms of understanding and control over wood-element spiritual plants, no force in the entire interstellar space could probably compare to the Oriental Family."Elder, thank you for the generous gift from the Oriental Family." Qin Tian put away the wooden box, nodding solemnly in thanks.This gift was too important to him—once Zyra successfully broke through to the seventh tier, it would be equivalent to having a seventh-tier combat power comparable to the Golden Bloodline by his side.Moreover, Zyra's area control, battlefield containment, and special ability to provide him with energy replenishment were far beyond what an ordinary seventh-tier Spiritual Energy User could offer.With Zyra's crowd control assistance, he would have the confidence to directly kill a seventh-tier powerhouse by utilizing the power of Burning Heaven Purgatory."Young friend Qin, there's no need to be polite."Elder looked at Qin Tian with a gentle smile on his face. "This is a small token of the family's appreciation for you protecting Mingyue. Speaking of which, Mingyue's brother, Haoyue, also put a lot of effort into this matter; he specifically applied to the family for this spiritual material for you."Eastern Haoyue—Qin Tian's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.It was not difficult to discern from Elder's words that Eastern Haoyue's influence within the Oriental Family far surpassed that of ordinary disciples; even some direct lineage talents might not have as much say as he did.If Dongfang Mingyue was valued by the family because of her top-tier alchemy talent, then what did Eastern Haoyue rely on to possess such weight within the family?Unbeknownst to him, he became even more curious about this Eastern Haoyue, with whom he had once met."Mingyue, there's one more thing I need to tell you." Elder looked at Dongfang Mingyue, his expression becoming serious. "Considering your current situation, Elder Ke specifically instructed that if you can win the championship in this alchemy final, the family will arrange a secret route for you, directly from Frost Flower Star to the Imperial Star, avoiding all possible risks along the way."He paused, his gaze sweeping over Xiaoyu beside Dongfang Mingyue, his tone becoming more measured: "However—with many people around, to ensure absolute safety, Elder Ke's intention is that, apart from the Xiahou brothers, Qin Tian, and necessary crew members, everyone else with you will need to take a different route and travel to the Imperial Star separately.""Ah?" Xiaoyu, hearing that she would be separated from her Young Lady, instinctively clutched Dongfang Mingyue's arm. When she looked up at her, her eyes were full of reluctance, and even her voice carried a hint of grievance, "Young Lady, I don't want to be separated from you—"Dongfang Mingyue looked at Xiaoyu, feeling a pang of reluctance herself, but after a moment of consideration, she nodded seriously: "Okay, we'll follow the family's arrangements.""Young Lady!" Xiaoyu anxiously shook her arm lightly, full of confusion.Dongfang Mingyue shook her head. The family's consideration was correct; with many people around, no one could guarantee that accompanying personnel might not inadvertently expose their location due to some oversight, such as online conversations.Especially after Nie Yunxing's soul control incident, although she still trusted the Guards, she still had to maintain some reservations.As for Xiaoyu, it was for safety considerations. After all, she had already been targeted, and there might still be danger along the way. She didn't want Xiaoyu to be injured again because of her."Xiaoyu, Elder also said that after the competition, I will depart from Frost Flower Star for the Imperial Star, but I still have many things at home that I need to take to the Imperial Star. Those things all require your help to organize and transport, and this is something only you can do well." Dongfang Mingyue comforted her.Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu pouted, her eyes still red, but she also understood that her Young Lady was doing it for her own good. She sniffled and finally nodded: "Then—alright, I will organize everything.""Then I'll leave it to you." Dongfang Mingyue smiled and ruffled her hair.Elder watched this scene with a relieved smile in his eyes, then said to Dongfang Mingyue: "Mingyue, now you should focus on preparing for the alchemy final and not worry about other matters. I believe that with your talent and strength, you will surely achieve your wish and win the final championship.""En!" Dongfang Mingyue nodded heavily, her eyes sparkling with confidence—she was determined to win this alchemy final championship.On the peak of the desolate snow mountain, cold winds swept past with ice particles. Perennial snow covered the exposed black rocks, and between heaven and earth, there was only a vast expanse of white and cold, hard gray. Just then, space suddenly rippled with a faint blue, and Qin Tian's figure stepped out from the ripple. The hem of his black robe was lifted by the cold wind. He looked around, his perception covering dozens of kilometers in every direction. After confirming that no one was present, he slowly raised his hand, a simple, dark wooden box resting in his palm.The moment the wooden box opened, a warm, emerald green light burst forth from within, like the rising sun piercing through clouds, instantly dispelling the surrounding chill.The myriad wood source crystal lying quietly inside the box was a fist-sized, rhomboid crystal, entirely lustrous like a top-grade emerald. Its interior was not solid but flowed with visible faint golden spiritual essence, as if the vitality of an entire ancient forest had been compressed within it.As soon as the crystal touched the air, it spontaneously emitted a clear, herbaceous fragrance. As it drifted with the wind, it actually stirred the surrounding desolate environment."Rustle—9Beneath the snow, those dried seeds, frozen for an unknown number of years, quietly broke through their seed coats under the nourishment of the fragrance, pushing through the thin layer of snow to sprout tiny green shoots. In the crevices of the distant rock wall, several withered mosses also regained their vibrant green at a visible speed, even slowly spreading along the rock wall, as if this barren snow mountain was being awakened by an invisible force."Buzz!"The green vine bracelet on Qin Tian's left wrist reacted almost the instant the myriad wood source crystal appeared.The vines, originally tightly clinging to his wrist, suddenly broke free, wildly surging like an awakened spiritual snake. The dark green tendrils, with their serrated leaves, unfurled and coiled in mid-air, emitting a faint rustling sound.At the same time, a soul fluctuation filled with excitement and longing surged directly into Qin Tian's sea of consciousness. The fluctuation carried the joyousness of a child, as if eagerly expressing its desire for the myriad wood source crystal, and the flower bud at the tip of the vine trembled frequently, tilting slightly towards the crystal.Qin Tian felt this urgency, a faint smile gracing his lips. He raised his hand, gently lifting the myriad wood source crystal, and said to the vines in the air, "Zyra, this is for you."Before his words finished, the vine shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, its tip curling into a soft loop, carefully enveloping the myriad wood source crystal, as if fearing that too much force would damage this supreme treasure.The next second, delicate, pale {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} green patterns appeared on the surface of the vine, wrapping around the myriad wood source crystal like blood vessels, and began to frantically absorb its energy.The emerald green light within the crystal slowly permeated the vine along the patterns. The originally dark green tendrils gradually took on a lustrous emerald hue, and faint golden edges appeared on the leaves.The previously fine fuzz on the vine became softer and tougher, and one could even vaguely see the paths of energy flowing within it.As energy continuously poured in, Zyra's aura also rapidly ascended—from the steady peak of the sixth tier, it gradually became surging and magnificent. The wood-element spiritual essence around her diffused like a thick fog, causing the surrounding snow to melt faster, and the newly sprouted shoots grew taller and branched out at a visible speed, even blooming with tiny white flowers.Half an hour later, the light of the myriad wood source crystal completely dimmed, turning into an ordinary, lusterless crystal that gently slipped from the vine.And Zyra's vine had long lost its previous frenzy, slowly retracting its aura. The light on the emerald-colored tendrils gradually became subdued, and the golden edges on the leaves also softened.Soon, the vine began to slowly contract, like a tired child, re-coiling into a bracelet around Qin Tian's wrist. Only this time, the green vine bracelet had a faint, ethereal emerald glow, and the flower bud at its tip was slightly closed, exuding the tranquility of deep slumber.Qin Tian could clearly feel that Zyra's soul fluctuations had become steady and content, now deeply asleep, digesting the fundamental transformation brought by the myriad wood source crystal.Once the transformation was complete, it would be time for Zyra to attempt to break through to the seventh tier. By then, with the assistance of the wood marrow heart, Zyra would easily pass the "Heavenly Plant Tribulation" and successfully advance to the seventh tier.He just didn't know how long it would take Zyra to digest this power."I hope that day comes soon."Considering the potential dangers along the way, a solemn look flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.With a flash of silver light, the figure on the snow mountain peak vanished from its original spot.The cold wind still howled, but the snow mountain was no longer as barren as before. New vegetation grew tenaciously under the nourishment of the spiritual essence, adding a vibrant touch of green to this lifeless land.
