Chapter 314 - 312: Regaining the Wood Dao Essence Body

Chapter 314: Chapter 312: Regaining the Wood Dao Essence Body

Night fell.

Su Hongshang pestered Su Qing, demanding two more Spirit Fruits.

Su Qing helplessly gave one to her.

Then he gave one to Luo Xingya.

"Rather than giving you two, it’s better to give one to you and one to Xingya."

This kind of fruit builds up a strong resistance.

After Su Qing gave one to Luo Xingya, she consumed it and was now sitting cross-legged, refining its power.

"I’m telling you, you really don’t want to just ’eat up’ Xingya?"

"Her figure is even better than mine. Long legs, a nice butt, full..." Su Hongshang’s smile was a bit lewd.

That’s right, Su Qing felt that Su Hongshang’s smile was a bit lewd.

"Can you please not think about things like that?" Su Qing said helplessly.

"If not this, are you just going to cultivate all the time?" Su Hongshang said, looping her arm through Su Qing’s.

"I must cultivate."

"Besides, there are many things on Qingsu Island that I still need to take care of."

To be honest, Qingsu Island was Su Qing’s utopia. He could build it into whatever he envisioned.

The people, Cultivators, and Demon Race living there all had to abide by Su Qing’s rules.

’I’ve lived here for so many years. Have I started to fall in love with this world?’

That night, Su Qing flew up into the Great World in the sky, not spending the wonderful evening with Su Hongshang.

To say he didn’t like it would certainly be a lie.

The only beautiful thing about his previous world had been his parents.

Su Qing couldn’t go back now; too much time had passed.

They had probably grown old and passed away by now.

’Whatever. There’s an old Chinese saying: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.’

’Thinking so much about it is useless anyway.’

Su Qing needed to cultivate some wood.

He wanted to establish a sacred land of learning in this Great World.

Yes, Su Qing wanted to build a huge library filled with the knowledge of learning.

At the same time, this place also needed mortals to live there.

As for the other two Great Worlds, one would be for people to inhabit. The other... Su Qing hadn’t decided yet.

He might as well just use it for habitation for now.

In any case, if Su Qing wanted another Great World, he could have one.

’For the Great World up here, I’ll definitely need to develop Flying Magical Artifacts first.’

’There’s one more thing: I don’t want to manage this place myself.’

’If it’s going to be inhabited, it will definitely need administration.’

Su Qing didn’t want to expand his Qingsu Island too much; there was no point.

How many people could he manage on his own?

’One Great World will be entirely for housing people, and the other will be for planting Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicines.’

’Let’s see what this world becomes. I’ll just have someone do some light management later on.’

What Su Qing actually feared was that the administrators he appointed would become intoxicated with power after getting a taste of it.

But after thinking it over, he realized it wasn’t necessarily a given.

Because Su Qing was destined to connect this world with the outside world.

If the administrators were cultivators, their desire for longevity would likely far outweigh their desire for power.

Su Qing stopped thinking about these future matters.

He brought out the Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades.

Su Qing casually waved his hand.

A powerful sword light swept through, felling all the trees that had grown there.

Immediately after, Su Qing collected all the wood.

Only small stumps remained.

"Withered Wood Revives in Spring!"

As Su Qing cast the Immortal Technique,

all the stumps began to sprout new shoots frantically, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within a few breaths, they once again became large trees.

Same old routine.

Su Qing felled them with another slash of his sword.

He collected the wood.

After repeating this process several times,

Su Qing finally left this patch of forest alone, restoring it to its original state.

’Next, I need to get some ore.’

Su Qing looked at the things within his Great World.

He returned to Qingsu Island and found Tang Dan.

"Young Master," Tang Dan said with a bow.

"How many minerals have been gathered on the island so far?" Su Qing couldn’t help but ask.

"Regarding minerals, we have collected over 300 million jin of Spirit Iron and over 500 million jin of Spiritual Orchid Ore..."

"..."

"I will give you a batch of lumber. When the time comes, fly up to the Great World above and send people to build a library like the Xin Academy on the Zhengxuan Sect’s island."

"Flying Magical Artifacts can enter the world above now, so you don’t need to worry. Remember, the bigger the better, and make sure the planning is good."

"Understood, Young Master."

Tang Dan didn’t think the workload was too great. It would only take three months to build it properly. He could buy some Magical Artifacts from the Zhengxuan Sect to speed up the construction.

"Alright then. The second world can be inhabited. Go in, take a look, and plan it out well."

"Yes, Young Master."

Only then was Su Qing satisfied.

The third world was inaccessible. Su Qing planned to plant it full of Spirit Medicines and Spirit Plants.

He was now going to try and synthesize a constitution.

As soon as he returned to Qingsu Island, Su Qing felt a bit busy, as if he was just making trouble for himself.

That’s why Su Qing decided to just let it all go.

He would focus on his Cultivation.

"Oh, right. Announce to the outside world that next month, we will be auctioning a Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf. There will be no mistakes this time. The exchange will be for Spirit Medicine Seeds, from Tier Six to Tier Nine. Whoever offers the most will get the Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf."

"Of course, they have to be of different types."

"Also, announce that we will auction ten Immortal Stones next month. The requirement is books—complete ones, no fragments—about Cultivation Techniques, Magic, and Divine Techniques."

"Yes, Young Master."

"That’s all. Go and make the arrangements."

Su Qing strolled leisurely back to his residence.

He was in a very pleasant mood.

He still needed to cultivate a few stalks of the Cyan Celestial Net.

Then he would cultivate the Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf to raise the Realm of his Visualization Map.

He would also take one stalk out for the auction.

As soon as Su Qing returned, he took out a lounge chair and lay down on it.

At the same time, he released some of the Immortal Qi from his Little Immortal Realm, letting it cover the residential area he had planned.

Cultivating the Cyan Celestial Net.

...

After cultivating several stalks, Su Qing collected their seeds, sowed them, and then harvested the Cyan Celestial Nets.

’The Wood Dao Essence Body. I’ll definitely get it this time.’

Su Qing had spent a whole day cultivating them.

He had to synthesize a constitution this time. After Immortal Transformation, it would be a constitution ten times stronger—definitely better than a pile of lesser ones.

The quality was on a completely different level.

Su Qing ate the Cyan Celestial Net he had cultivated in a few bites.

A vast surge of medicinal power appeared.

It was instantly suppressed and refined by Su Qing’s immense longevity. He was using his lifespan to refine the Spirit Medicine.

This was a skill Su Qing had only recently learned.

It was exceptionally useful, just a bit wasteful of his longevity.

Another day passed.

Su Qing completely refined the Cyan Celestial Net.

[Wood Dao Essence Body: Born to be one with the Great Dao, a natural at cultivation...]

’That does it. The Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf is cultivated too.’

’Now all I’m missing is that Tier Eight Seven-Colored Exquisite Fire.’

’I have to try and see if I can make it break the rules and ascend to Tier Nine.’

’Oh, right, a Pocket World!’

Su Qing wanted a Pocket World.

He wanted to use it to synthesize his constitution. Su Qing wanted to see what would happen if he used a Pocket World for the synthesis.

...

"Tang Dan, collect a Pocket World for me. I’ll exchange a Tier Five Spirit Medicine for it," Su Qing sent via voice transmission.

Someone would surely find a Tier Five Spirit Medicine to be worth it.

However, Tang Dan came to find him very quickly.

Tang Dan had a difficult expression on his face.

"Young Master, trading for a Pocket World now will likely not be quick. A year ago, the Demon Race started collecting them and has already gathered a great many. I feel that there aren’t many tradable Pocket Worlds left."

"And those who aren’t trading them have no intention of doing so."

"Is that so?" Su Qing fell into contemplation...

"Then just collect what you can as quickly as possible. If that doesn’t work, I’ll raise the stakes. Let’s see if we can make a trade first."

"If there are no trades for a Pocket World in half a month, I’ll come find you again."

There used to be plenty of Pocket Worlds. Damn that Demon Race!
