The specific effects are not clear for now.

According to the skills of the Plant Master, Xu Guang buried two Spirit Crystals under this Horn Flower Wood and also had General Wei drip a few drops of blood.

The growth of Treasure Medicine has never been a quick process. Even with the Plant Master profession, Xu Guang didn't think this mutated Horn Flower Wood could mature in two years.

Take it slow.

This is also why Xu Guang doesn't prioritize the Plant Master profession; the long growth periods of Spiritual Medicine, often spanning a decade, make it really hard for him to focus his energy on this profession.

Once everything was arranged, Xu Guang acted as if nothing had happened and hid in the mountains for cultivation.

...

Dragon Gate originates from the Tiger's Mouth Waterfall in Chuanbei Prefecture, naturally becoming the Dragon Gate's old lair.

However, unlike Jiufeng Mountain, the Dragon Gate's base is located within Chuanbei Prefecture, occupying nearly half of its city.

In a bird-song-flowering, ancient-style teahouse.

A group of disciples were discussing among themselves, their whispered conversations unending.

"Who do you think killed Zhen'er?"

A young man with a stern face slowly walked out from a second-floor loft, a hint of anger and resentment lingering in his eyes.

Du Peng looked grim, not showing any goodwill toward this group of people who came to mourn Du Zhen.

In his view, these people were all useless!

For so long, not only did they fail to capture Shi Moyun's whereabouts, but they also let his brother Du Zhen die.

No one spoke, and Du Peng grew more and more irritable.

"Alright, I've received your condolences, my father wants to be alone for a while."

After everyone left, Du Peng stood there, still pondering over who killed Du Zhen.

Du Zhen roamed the Jianghu, and due to his background, probably attracted a lot of trouble.

Perhaps it even had some connection with himself, as eyewitnesses claimed the killer murdered Du Zhen for a woman.

But that woman clearly didn't know the other person.

Out of the blue, a name appeared in his mind.

Lin Zushan!

He had a history with Lin Zushan; they were both considered outstanding among the younger generation in their sect. He had collaborated with Lin Zushan multiple times, including in the search for Shi Moyun.

A few days ago, he even provided some help with the disturbance Lin Zushan caused in Shouyang Prefecture.

Could it be… because of this?

Du Peng thought to himself.

...

"The matter of the evaluation has been settled. Each of Jiufeng Mountain's Ninth Institute will send one person to participate in the evaluation; the Jiang Family has five slots, and the Dianyin Sect has seven.

This evaluation is for individual merits. Entering Wangdang Mountain, besides killing the Fierce Ghosts to acquire their Ghost Hearts, the natural treasures within Wangdang Mountain will also be counted as merits. The top four will win slots for their respective sects or families."

Master Fuqing said softly.

In the past five years, the Spirit Refining Pool's situation has been good, and there will be more slots this year.

Besides the guaranteed five slots, Jiufeng Mountain has also offered four blank slots, and the Steward Hall hopes to secure at least two of these four discretionary slots, aiming for a total of seven slots.

This proposal was, of course, made by the people from the Dianyin Sect.

The Spirit Refining Pool was originally discovered and cultivated by a senior from the Dianyin Sect, so they have significant influence over the allocation of slots.

Xu Guang already knew about this.

Hearing Master Fuqing's words, he nodded.

"By the way, you have a good relationship with Shen Muyu from Sword Seal Peak. When you go to Wangdang Mountain, take care of her a bit. She might save your life at a critical moment."

Wangdang Mountain is never a place for treasure hunting; it's truly a deadly place.

Entering there is not like entering a happy home.

Even a master at the Peak of Fifth Grade often meets with mishaps in the depths of Wangdang Mountain.

Xu Guang showed a hint of surprise.

Shen Muyu saving his life?

Master Fuqing gave him a meaningful look, "She possesses Third Grade Sword Qi, capable of slicing through ordinary Fourth Grade."

Xu Guang's mouth slightly opened in shock.

He suddenly understood why he felt Shen Muyu was dangerous the first time he met her.

The Relic Shen Muyu gave to General Wei, how did it come about?

It turns out she truly has a great treasure on her!

After seeing Master Fuqing off, Xu Guang took out the Spirit Bone from his investigation, planning to continue accumulating Gold Attribute within himself.

But then he suddenly heard General Wei let out a roar filled with intense fear.

Without hesitation, Xu Guang immediately rushed out.

Soon he saw numerous yellow-green vines sprout from General Wei's body, seemingly taking root and growing frantically.

The vines were thick and sturdy, with a faint bloody glow inside. Their surface was rough, and the leaves were five-pointed, with extraordinarily sharp edges.

The leaves were clearly leaves, but they gave an extremely sharp feeling.

The growth rate of these vines was uncanny, seemingly capable of absorbing the Qi Force and Demonic Power within General Wei. They grew frantically with General Wei's screams.

In an instant, they nearly covered his entire body, densely packed, like a climbing vine covering a rockery!

"This is..."

In the Dark World, Xu Guang had slain many demons and obtained a piece of withered vine from slaying that Venerable, which was quite extraordinary. So upon returning to Jiufeng Mountain, he planted it.

But during this time, the vine hadn't shown any signs of sprouting.

Using the Plant Master skills, the conclusion was that the environment was unsuitable, and he planned to relocate the vine after the Grand Sacrifice.

Looking at the current situation, did General Wei greedily eat the vine?

Though, General Wei wasn't such a careless elephant!

Soon, through the Spiritual Link, he understood the situation.

General Wei didn't deliberately eat it; rather, it somehow got mixed into the Horn Flower Wood. With such a large bite, even he didn't know when he swallowed it.

The current situation left Xu Guang at a loss. He used his Divine Thought, combining his Qi Force and General Wei's Demonic Power, to crazily suppress the vine's growth.

General Wei was also a little anxious and restless; this kind of vine growing from his own body made the elephant uneasy.

Suddenly, Xu Guang discovered something.

His Divine Thought seemed able to control these vines through the Demonic Power in General Wei's body?

"Stop yelling, Ah Wei, try to see if you can control these vines?"

General Wei stopped howling, and, following Xu Guang's thoughts, began to tentatively try.

Then a vine rapidly grew, wrapping all the branches and leaves of a Horn Flower Wood, then abruptly yanked it over, like a son, delivering it to General Wei's mouth.

Xu Guang and General Wei exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.

It seems he finally understood what these vines were!
