Chapter 375 - 227: The Secret of the Spirit Body, A Surprising Treasure

They couldn’t detect Li Chang’an’s presence at all.

As time passed.

Li Chang’an ventured deeper into the Ghost Vine Forest, and the presence of the surrounding Ghost Vines grew increasingly powerful.

’There are quite a few Tier Two Late Stage Ghost Vines. If I could bring them back, Changqing Mountain would gain another layer of security.’

His gaze swept over the Ghost Vines, and a thought flashed through his mind.

But it was just a thought.

These Ghost Vines were too bizarre and difficult to control.

If he were to take them out of the Ancient Wood Secret Realm, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Just as he was thinking this, the Ten Thousand Poison Gu in his sleeve suddenly sent out a warning.

’I’ve been poisoned again?’

Li Chang’an was a little surprised; he hadn’t noticed it at all.

The poisons of the Cultivation Immortality Realm were truly impossible to defend against.

Fortunately, he had the Ten Thousand Poison Gu.

’These Ghost Vines can actually release a colorless, odorless poison.’

Li Chang’an looked around but couldn’t see any trace of a poison mist.

But the Ten Thousand Poison Gu in his sleeve was frantically absorbing the poison from his body.

’By that logic, every single Ghost Vine is equivalent to a Poison Cultivator. This entire Ghost Vine Forest is the domain of thousands upon thousands of Poison Cultivators, and many of these Ghost Vines are no weaker than the Five Poison Wanderer.’

Li Chang’an mused to himself.

Afterward, he would occasionally let Dahuang out to reconfirm the direction of Mu Xiaoxiao’s scent.

After doing this several times, Li Chang’an had reached an extremely deep area of the Ghost Vine Forest.

Finally, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao was currently unconscious.

Her body was entangled in Poison Vines, her Spirit Robe had been corroded by their venom, and her life force was fading. She was hanging by a thread.

"Cut!"

Li Chang’an raised his hand and sent out several beams of Cyan Wood Divine Light, severing the Poison Vines binding her.

With a THUD, Mu Xiaoxiao fell to the ground.

Li Chang’an moved to her side and threw out dozens of Talismans, temporarily holding back the countless Poison Vines that were relentlessly attacking from all directions.

He sent a stream of Cyan Wood Magical Power circulating through Mu Xiaoxiao’s body and found her condition to be terrible; the poison had seeped deep into her bones.

If he had arrived just a few minutes later, she would have been beyond saving.

"Little guy, go absorb the vine poison!"

Li Chang’an took out the Ten Thousand Poison Gu and placed it on Mu Xiaoxiao’s arm.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao’s entire body was pitch-black. There wasn’t a single patch of normal skin on her from head to toe; she had practically become a Poisonous Man.

The Ten Thousand Poison Gu acted immediately.

It extended the two feelers on its head, pierced Mu Xiaoxiao’s skin, and began to rapidly absorb the Ghost Vine poison from her body.

Li Chang’an glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao’s body, lost in thought.

’This is a good opportunity.’

He was very curious.

What was so special about the so-called Cyan Wood Spirit Body?

Could he obtain this constitution for himself?

At this thought, Li Chang’an once again sent wisps of Evergreen Magical Power to explore Mu Xiaoxiao’s Meridians and flesh, trying to find something out of the ordinary.

’If I could possess the Cyan Wood Spirit Body, my cultivation Speed would surely surpass what it is now.’

During his investigation, Li Chang’an also used the Spirit Testing Technique to examine Mu Xiaoxiao’s Spiritual Root.

Mu Siyue and the others hadn’t been lying. Mu Xiaoxiao indeed had an Inferior Spirit Root, with only a single, pitiful wisp of Spirit Charm!

Even among those with an Inferior Spirit Root, hers was the absolute weakest!

With such talent, if she didn’t have the Cyan Wood Spirit Body, forget Foundation Establishment, even breaking through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer would be a huge problem!

’Strange, there doesn’t seem to be anything special.’

Li Chang’an’s brow furrowed. He searched carefully for a long time, scanning her flesh and Meridians inch by inch.

It seemed that this Mu Xiaoxiao, just like him, had an ordinary Mortal Body.

’There must be something different about her. I just haven’t found it yet.’

Li Chang’an immediately increased his Magical Power and searched again.

A vast amount of Evergreen Magical Power surged into Mu Xiaoxiao’s body like a great river, flowing without end.

Cultivators of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique had some traits similar to the Cyan Wood Spirit Body.

For example, an Affinity for Plants.

Li Chang’an could achieve this as well, but the effect wasn’t as pronounced.

While he was investigating, the many Ghost Vines outside were attacking frantically, like a pack of hungry beasts, but they were unable to get within ten yards of him.

After another moment, Li Chang’an finally discovered something peculiar.

Deep within Mu Xiaoxiao’s Sea of Consciousness, a faint green light was hidden.

He had scanned it several times before without finding it. This time, he used the Divine Splitting Technique, transforming his Divine Sense into countless parts and searching Mu Xiaoxiao’s Sea of Consciousness inch by inch, finally discovering it.

’What is this?’

Li Chang’an remained vigilant and probed it with a single wisp of his Divine Sense.

He withdrew the rest of his Divine Sense to prevent any accidents.

With his current Divine Sense strength, it wouldn’t matter even if this wisp was destroyed; he could recover it quickly.

A moment later, the wisp of Divine Sense carefully touched the faint green light.

"BZZZ..."

The green light suddenly trembled and exploded on the spot.

In that instant, Li Chang’an felt a boundless, vast Cyan Wood aura, as if he had been transported to a world filled with Spirit Plants.

After the green light exploded, it didn’t disappear. Instead, it transformed into countless minuscule dots that drifted to another part of the Sea of Consciousness and reformed into a spot of green light.

Li Chang’an watched very closely.

Within that green light was something extremely blurry.

It looked like some kind of symbol, or perhaps a character from another era.

’Could it be... that this symbol is what allowed Mu Xiaoxiao to awaken her Spirit Body?’

Li Chang’an tried to copy it with his Divine Sense and felt a faint stirring in his heart.

He wanted to get a clearer look at it, but the symbol became extremely slippery, drifting erratically within her Sea of Consciousness as if deliberately avoiding him.

Even when Li Chang’an used most of his Divine Sense, splitting it into hundreds of wisps, he couldn’t capture it.
