Chapter 508: Golden Spiritual Root

Wang Lin held the Blazing Gold Fruit and pressed it against his glabella. The fruit immediately merged into his forehead. A moment later, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he released his hand.

"I was too impatient. The Heaven Defying Bead's attributes reaching Perfection is no simple matter. Seven hundred years of cultivation, even with my Opportunities, only brought four attributes to Perfection. Each Perfection was fraught with unknown dangers. Now, this final golden attribute's Perfection probably won't be so simple… I just wonder if that Golden Spiritual Root will be useful…"

Wang Lin sighed inwardly. He grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, and immediately, about one-third of the Blazing Gold Fruits beneath the golden flowers here flew up and floated in mid-air.

The Mosquito Beasts cheered, and its massive proboscis immediately sucked, instantly swallowing all these Blazing Gold Fruits. At this moment, golden light suddenly emanated from the Mosquito Beasts' body, flickering intensely nine times before slowly returning to normal.

Seeing that the Mosquito Beasts seemed to want more, Wang Lin did not pick any more fruit. Instead, he formed a Hand Seal with his right hand and sent out a Spiritual Light. This Spiritual Light landed on the large patch of golden flowers on the ground, causing them to emit bursts of golden light that were extremely dazzling.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, but he did not retreat. Instead, he patted his Storage Pouch, and a large number of Jade Slips immediately appeared in his hand. He pondered, swiftly engraving on each Jade Slip, then placed them next to the large patch of golden flowers.

Not far away, the woman named Qian Qin stared intently at Wang Lin, a look of confusion in her eyes. She didn't know what the person in front of her was doing, why he wasn't picking the Blazing Gold Fruit, but instead performing such strange actions. From his appearance, it looked like he was setting up a Formation.

"Could it be that taking this Blazing Gold Fruit requires some kind of Formation?" Qian Qin's confusion deepened.

After placing the last Jade Slip on the ground, the look of contemplation in Wang Lin's eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of clarity.

"According to the memories of Ancient God Tu Si, the Blazing Gold Fruit will only form a Golden Spiritual Root at its base after its natural cycle passes and it naturally withers.

But there's no time to wait now, and the cycle for this item to form a Golden Spiritual Root can be long or short; some even need several years. I don't have time to wait, so I can only use this compromise method from Tu Si's memories!

However, the Ancient God used Yao Beast bones to set up this Formation, while I am using Jade Slips. In terms of effect, it might be somewhat insufficient…" Wang Lin was quite helpless about this. With the Ancient God's power, all the Materials used were naturally the best.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Lin raised his left hand, striking an extremely peculiar pose. This technique was definitely not a Cultivator's Hand Seal, but a Divine Ability inherited from Ancient God Tu Si's memories that served as a catalyst. At this moment, it was also the primary Divine Ability for activating the Formation.

"Die!" Wang Lin silently chanted!

As this incantation was uttered, a yellow glow immediately spread out from Wang Lin's left hand Hand Seal and landed on a Jade Slip on the ground. As soon as the Jade Slip was touched by the yellow glow, a violent, piercing sound immediately emanated from it.

Then, almost in the blink of an eye, the Jade Slip immediately shattered with a "bang."

This scene caused Wang Lin to frown, and even Qian Qin in the distance was startled.

However, although the Jade Slip shattered, the yellow glow on it not only did not disappear but became even more intense. The moment the Jade Slip shattered, the yellow glow rushed out and landed on another Jade Slip.

Next, a series of continuous banging sounds filled the air. The yellow glow almost instantly turned each Jade Slip it touched into dust.

Wang Lin's frown deepened. A few breaths later, when the last Jade Slip also shattered, the color of the yellow glow had already turned golden-yellow, almost indistinguishable from the color of the large patch of flowers.

The yellow glow completely enveloped the golden flowers. Visibly, these flowers slowly shrank, eventually seeming to wither and gradually shrivel up.

Not only the flowers, but even the Blazing Gold Fruits beneath them also showed signs of cracking and slowly withered, even their branches, as if a scorching sun was baking them at this moment.

This scene caused the Mosquito Beasts in mid-air to wail repeatedly, their eyes filled with deep reluctance. If not for its extreme attachment to Wang Lin, it would have long since rushed down to snatch them.

As for Qian Qin in the distance, her heart also ached. She stared intently at the constantly withering Blazing Gold Fruits, her heart bleeding with pain.

In contrast, Wang Lin's expression was normal, but his gaze was solemn as he stared at the continuously withering Blazing Gold Fruits, not saying a word. The atmosphere throughout the valley also became heavy.

Before long, all the golden flowers withered. However, their withering was not a scattering in the wind, but rather a transformation into drops of golden liquid that flowed down the branches and merged into the deep earth.

After the flowers came the Blazing Gold Fruits. One by one, the Blazing Gold Fruits withered, also transforming into drops of golden liquid and merging into the ground.

After that came the branches. The entire process lasted for about half an incense stick's time. After half an incense stick's time, everything had completely vanished without a trace, and the ground was completely empty.

The Mosquito Beasts let out a mournful cry, immediately drooping its head and sulking in mid-air.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He came to where the Blazing Gold Fruits had disappeared and, after a careful look, a glint suddenly burst forth from his eyes. He squatted down, slowly reaching his right hand into the soil, then a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. When he raised his hand, rays of light, like a scorching sun, suddenly shone forth from his hand.

In his hand was a peculiar object, thumb-sized and resembling ginseng, with four whiskers. The golden light on this object was extremely rich, and a feeling of warmth enveloped the surroundings, making anyone who looked at it feel warm all over.

"Four-Whiskered Golden Spiritual Root! If it had matured naturally, it should have reached five whiskers or more!" Wang Lin thought to himself.

The Mosquito Beasts in mid-air were now dumbfounded, staring intently at the Golden Spiritual Root in Wang Lin's hand. The brilliance in its eyes, which had almost never appeared since its birth, was now full of a hint of madness.

Looking at Qian Qin again, her small mouth was also wide open as she gazed at the Golden Spiritual Root, her mind a blank. She now truly understood that everything before was merely her own ignorance. The true use of the Blazing Gold Fruit was clearly like this, to take its root!

Wang Lin plucked off one whisker and pressed it against his glabella. A moment later, his expression changed.

This item indeed had some effect compared to the Blazing Gold Fruit; it could increase the Heaven Defying gold attribute, but the increase was too small. Wang Lin roughly calculated that even if the entire Golden Spiritual Root were to be integrated into the Heaven Defying Bead, it would probably only increase by about ten percent.

He sighed inwardly, plucked off a whisker, and directly threw it to the Mosquito Beasts in mid-air, whose eyes were almost frantic but had been strongly resisting the urge to rush down.

The Mosquito Beasts immediately cheered. It swiftly moved with a rumble, directly biting the Golden Spiritual Root whisker. With a single suck, it swallowed the entire whisker.

Of the four whiskers, only two remained!

After the Mosquito Beasts swallowed a whisker, the frenzied look in its eyes gradually disappeared. Golden light flashed all over its body this time, but unlike before, it did not return to normal after a few flashes; instead, it kept flashing.

Finally, the Mosquito Beasts' wings slowly shrank and folded, and its body curled up. The golden light emanating from its body became increasingly dense and fast, eventually forming a golden罩子 that completely enveloped the Mosquito Beasts.

Gradually, this golden罩子 slowly became murky, completely obscuring the Mosquito Beasts within, making it impossible to see the details inside.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. His Divine Sense forcefully rushed into it. After a brief observation, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

"This Mosquito Beasts, after swallowing so many treasures, has finally begun its evolution. I expect its strength will greatly Breakthrough when it reappears!"

Wang Lin grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, and the golden light enveloping the Mosquito Beasts was put into his Storage Pouch. Then, after a slight contemplation, at the moment he put the Mosquito Beasts' golden light away, he gently patted his right hand, and a green light immediately roared out from his Storage Pouch.

When this green light was in mid-air, it transformed into a huge Thunder Frog, the size of a small mountain. With a "plop," it landed directly on the ground, a hint of laziness in its massive eyes.

However, this hint of laziness vanished immediately upon seeing the Golden Spiritual Root with only two whiskers left in Wang Lin's hand, replaced by an intense, unwavering stare.

Wang Lin smiled slightly, directly broke off a whisker, and threw it to the Thunder Frog.

The Thunder Frog's abdomen immediately bulged, and a red tongue flashed like lightning. The whisker in mid-air instantly vanished without a trace. Inside the Thunder Frog's body, a violent rumbling sound like thunder emanated. Finally, its eyes slowly closed, with a faint hint of fatigue flashing through.

Wang Lin pressed down on the Void Realm with his right hand, directly putting the Thunder Frog into his Storage Pouch. Then, he looked at the woman Qian Qin, who had been observing from a distance.

Qian Qin felt Wang Lin's gaze, and her heart immediately trembled. She quickly bowed but said nothing.

"I obtained this Golden Spiritual Root, which can be considered as benefiting from your Opportunity. Take this last whisker!" Wang Lin said, breaking off the last whisker from the main stem of the Golden Spiritual Root. He then put the main stem into his Storage Pouch to save for his main body. He moved forward, stomped his foot, and instantly transformed into a wisp of green smoke, vanishing without a trace.

Qian Qin was startled. She subconsciously took the floating Golden Spiritual Root whisker. The scene before her was like an illusory dream, making her somewhat disbelieving.

When she looked back, the man named Wang Lin had already disappeared.

Qian Qin stood silently for a long time, put away the Golden Spiritual Root whisker, came to her fellow sect members, watched for a moment, sighed softly, and transformed into a long rainbow, swiftly leaving the place.

Wang Lin's figure was like lightning. Within the Demon Land Northern Boundary, with a flash, it wasn't long before he leaped over a mountain range and entered its depths.

There, the short elder of the Great Luo Sword Sect sat cross-legged on a giant tree, his face pale, not daring to move. An inch in front of his glabella, a curved saber floated as if still.

An inch above his head's Heavenly Spirit, an immortal sword also remained motionless, but its sword light was dense and unwavering.
