Eternal Tranquility

Suochen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Tell me, did we get the direction completely wrong at the beginning?"

Liu Qinghuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Swooping's eyes moved among the branches and leaves, and said: "We have always suspected that Jiuyou's side was responsible for this incident. Is it possible that there is actually something wrong with the Immortal Genrong itself."

However, Liu Qinghuan couldn't answer this question, and he was obsessed with this issue, which would not help change the status quo.

Nowadays, the Green Trichosanthes Continent is as lively as if a large-scale construction project is under way. In order to find out the reason for the withering of the Immortal Root Banyan Tree, everyone has almost turned the entire territory upside down.

However……

The house leaked and it rained continuously all night. Just when they were helpless, news of the Qing Ming side's defeat in the Ming Mountain Battlefield suddenly came through.

"The Pass of Everlasting Sorrow was broken and Huntian City fell?" Liu Qinghuan was extremely shocked after hearing this: "Isn't Huntian City full of powerful soldiers? How could it be lost?"

"We don't know the specific situation yet. It seems that Jiuyou used a strange trick." Tongzhen said solemnly: "Our losses were a bit heavy this time, and the defense line was pushed back a lot."

Liu Qinghuan asked: "What about casualties?"

"It's very tragic." Tongzhen said: "So the recruitment documents have been sent to all major interfaces, asking for additional manpower."

Liu Qinghuan frowned, thinking of the army of monks dispatched by the Immortal Alliance from outside Nanlizhou: "The Immortal Alliance won't want to mobilize our people, right?"

Tong Zhen was obviously a little unsure: "It shouldn't be possible, right? The importance of Immortal Root Banyan Tree to our world is much greater than that of the distant Mingshan Battlefield."

Liu Qinghuan didn't ask any more questions. It was not his turn to worry about such things. He might as well seize the time to restore his spiritual power.

Fortunately, the Immortal Alliance is not stingy and has shouldered the burden of elixirs and spiritual stones to replenish spiritual power, otherwise the daily consumption would be high.

Another day passed, Liu Qinghuan withdrew his hand from the tree trunk, raised his head and looked at a large area of ​​nearby branches and leaves flashing green light, with a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

However, in the blink of an eye, the overlapping yellow colors of the tree crowns farther away came into view again, which really made people feel helpless.

More than half a month has passed, and even though they have been working hard, the withering trend of the Immortal Root Banyan Tree is still spreading, and the reason for its withering has not yet been found.

Liu Qinghuan sighed secretly, brushed off the fallen leaves on his clothes, and escaped into the tree in a flash.

Over the past few days, he has gradually developed a habit of walking around the tree every day, either to check on its recovery, or simply to find a quiet place to think for a while.

Because it is the Aoki Holy Body, he can walk in the trees as if he is walking on flat ground, and the hard wood will not give him any hindrance at all.

Those branches were like a road with many forks. Liu Qinghuan didn't care about the direction and just walked along, his thoughts already far away.

But at this moment, the tree of spiritual roots in Dantian suddenly shook, and the towering nectar bottle popped up.

Liu Qinghuan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at his dantian in surprise: "What's going on? What are you doing here, but don't do anything to me at this time..."

Thinking of this, a sudden movement occurred in his heart. He raised his head suddenly and saw a pale golden shadow sliding past quickly from the corner of his eye!

"what?!"

Liu Qinghuan almost thought he had seen it wrong, but in the green, the golden shadow was too conspicuous, and the strange movement of Wanmu Ping made him sure that he was not dazzled.

All kinds of thoughts flashed past, and the body had already taken one step ahead and chased him directly. However, his eyes flashed with green light, and the golden shadow had long since disappeared without a trace.

After searching to no avail, Liu Qinghuan stopped, but felt very strange in his heart.

This was the first time he encountered something unusual inside the Immortal Root Banyan tree. He didn't know what it was, but it actually made Wanmu Ping move.

Wanmu Ping, on the other hand, will only appear on its own initiative on rare occasions!

Liu Qinghuan was greatly excited. No matter what the other party was, it must be something extraordinary. Moreover, its color was light gold, and it was obviously not a fairy spirit.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned: Yes, it seems that he has not found the fairy spirit in the fairy root banyan tree in these days, and he only realized such a big omission now!

"No, if I was negligent, I shouldn't be negligent in sweeping the dust. Could it be that my cultivation is too shallow and I just didn't notice the existence of the fairy spirit?"

But it's not like he has never seen the spirit of the fairy. There is no way he could confuse it with spiritual energy. Moreover, the last time he just moved a section of the tree root, his meridians were almost torn by a ray of the spirit of the fairy.

For a moment, Liu Qinghuan had no intention of tracking down any golden shadows, so he stepped out of the tree and went to find the dust sweeper.

After hearing his question, Sauchen looked as usual: "As far as I know, although the Immortal Root Banyan tree is an immortal-level spiritual tree, it should be the lowest-level one, and it grows in the mortal world, so the tree has It doesn’t contain much fairy energy, maybe it’s mainly concentrated in the roots of the tree.”

Such reasons did not convince Liu Qinghuan, he said: "However, although the main part of the fairy root banyan tree is the root system, there is no fairy spirit in the branches. Isn't it a bit abnormal?"

"Hmm..." Suochen thought for a moment and said slowly, "What you said seems to make sense."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Senior, do you think this is related to the mystery of the withering of the Immortal Root Banyan Tree? It was not because of the loss of spiritual energy at all, but because of the loss of the Immortal Spirit Energy in the tree that it died. Half of it.”

Sweeping dust still said: "The Immortal Root Banyan tree is an immortal seed no matter how you say it. It was bred in the aura of the immortal spirit. It is born with immortal energy. I encountered a wisp of it in its root system a few days ago. "

Hearing what he said, Liu Qinghuan's expression was a little shaken. Could it be that he had made a mistake?

Saochen smiled and said: "It's better than this. I can't leave now. Since you already have doubts in your mind, why not go and verify it yourself."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while and said: "Senior, I really want to verify it. Although you have found the spirit of the fairy before, many days have passed, and maybe the situation has changed."

With the permission of the sweeper, he quickly returned to the tree. First, he carefully inspected the tree body on the ground, and then sank into the huge root system underground.

The roots of the Immortal Root Banyan tree are much thicker than the branches, stretching in all directions like a maze, almost occupying the entire underground of Qingtan Barren Continent.

Liu Qinghuan quickly shuttled through them, and it took him several days to walk through them all, but he could not find even a trace of fairy spirit.

But in order to prevent his judgment from being biased, he chose to continue to check outside, entered the underground of Nanlizhou, and followed the roots to other realms.

At this moment, the ten thousand wooden bottles in Dantian moved again.
