Chapter 954: Chapter 697: The Celestial Tree’s Illness

After Qian Mo Fairy heard Qin Ming’s words.

She lightly bit her lip; evidently, it wasn’t easy for her to see Qin Ming again now and she did not want to trouble him rashly.

But the situation was sudden.

In addition, Qian Mo Fairy knew that Qin Ming had extraordinary accomplishments in the Path of Spiritual Plants.

So, she nodded slightly and said, "Then, I will have to trouble Elder Li once more."

As time was of the essence.

Qian Mo Fairy, while leading Qin Ming towards the Tree Heart Holy Hall, said:

"By the way, if this matter can be resolved, Elder Li might be able to exchange for Taiyi Yin Jade this time."

"Oh? What do you mean by that, Qian Mo Fairy?" Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

He did not expect there to be a turnaround in this matter, or even the possibility of obtaining something.

Qian Mo Fairy explained, "I mentioned earlier that the three pieces of Taiyi Yin Jade were deposited by someone from our Commerce Association, specifically Elder Feng Qi."

"I see, but how is this related to the matter at hand?" Qin Ming asked.

Qian Mo Fairy said, "Elder Feng Qi is a high-level member of the Wood Crystal Race, sent to serve as a rotating Elder in Cyan Dome Tree City. But decades ago, the Cyan Vault Mother Tree, which had been growing for tens of thousands of years, suddenly fell ill."

"It’s just that outsiders haven’t perceived it yet. In order to heal the Divine Tree, Elder Feng Qi went to a dangerous place to find spiritual objects for the mother tree, temporarily borrowing a Supreme Treasure from the Commerce Association."

"Now he has returned to the city, but just now, my subordinates reported that the matter has become serious, indicating that the state of this Cyan Vault Celestial Tree is clearly worse than before."

"If the situation worsens at the Tree Heart Holy Hall, I fear the entire Immortal City will undergo unpredictable changes."

Qian Mo Fairy also truthfully narrated to Qin Ming, as she was also troubled by this matter earlier.

After all, she had only recently taken office as the General Steward of the Nine Spirits Commerce Association, only to be struck with such a predicament, truly like a blow to the head.

"Elder Li’s mastery of the Path of Spiritual Plants—can he save even a bit of it?"

Qin Ming did not immediately agree upon hearing this, but asked, "So, the grade of this Cyan Vault Celestial Tree must not be low, right?"

"Exactly, the Cyan Vault Celestial Tree, as the pillar supporting the entire Tree City and the source of Spiritual Qi, reached the Tier Six High-Grade level tens of thousands of years ago," Qian Mo Fairy replied, "and previously, even after inviting many Spirit Plant Masters to diagnose it, we gained nothing."

"A Tier Six High-Grade Divine Tree? No wonder no one can do anything about this tree," Qin Ming also said in surprise, "and it even has the miraculous effect of gathering Spiritual Qi."

"That’s correct. The Cyan Vault Celestial Tree has one major feature, which is its ability to gather Earth Vein Qi from a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and it can even condense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi roaming in the void, which exceeds the Gathering Spirit effect of a Tier Six Spirit Gathering Array by an unknowable margin," Qian Mo Fairy said, her words tinged with pride.

Qin Ming heard for the first time of such a Spirit Tree with such a powerful Gathering Spirit effect, "Then, this Cyan Vault Celestial Tree... must have an extraordinary origin, right?"

"Elder Li’s words are accurate, this Celestial Tree was originally the Spirit Plant companion of a senior of the Wood Crystal Race. After that senior passed away, it has been planted here; only after tens of thousands of years of development did it reach its current scale," Qian Mo explained.

Upon hearing, Qin Ming nodded, learning some background about this Spirit Plant, broadening his knowledge.

"Though I, Li Mou, have some insights into the Path of Spiritual Plants, dealing with such a high-tier Divine Tree, I am not entirely confident. Let’s take a look first."

Seeing him willing to help, Qian Mo Fairy gave him a very grateful look.

"Elder Li, rest assured, no matter the outcome of this matter, I will speak with Elder Feng Qi to see if he can be persuaded to trade a piece of Taiyi Yin Jade to you."

"That would indeed be the best," Qin Ming also smiled slightly.

As they spoke, Qian Mo Fairy led Qin Ming to the main trunk of the towering giant tree, where the space was extremely spacious, even with various grand halls, seemingly not affecting the growth of this Divine Tree.

A moment later.

The two of them stood on a Teleportation Array, as a burst of azure runic light shone before them.

Buzz!

When Qin Ming opened his eyes again, he found himself transported to the uppermost layer of this sky-reaching giant tree.

It was an area, even outside, he couldn’t detect with Divine Thought, located within the main trunk, yet heavily guarded, with several Nascent Soul or higher guards stationed at intervals, filled with various Restrictions, evidently a crucial area for the Wood Crystal Race.

Qian Mo Fairy led him out of the Array, and after passing through a long corridor, they arrived in front of a grand, ancient hall.

Perimeters guarded by Divinity Transformation Stage guards, standing like statues on either side with Spiritual Treasures in hand.

Seeing Qian Mo Fairy approach, they made a bow, taking out a Wood Seal Command Token from their persons, throwing it towards the doors of the hall to lift the Restrictions.

This hall was over a thousand meters in size, within which was an extremely dense environment filled with Spiritual Qi.

Just by approaching, Qin Ming felt an ancient vitality piercing to the heart and the rich atmosphere of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushing towards him, making every pore of his involuntarily relax.

"A Tier Six Spiritual Vein environment..."

"So, the Spiritual Qi of the entire Tree City is gathered here, and then circulated to various areas of the Immortal City through its branches. It truly seizes the fortune of Heaven and Earth."

Qian Mo Fairy introduced, "Elder Li, this place is the core area of Cyan Vault Celestial City, the Tree Heart Holy Hall."
