118: Tampering with tree species

Spirit Tree Qi is also a special aura, similar to Grand Yin Qi.

However, regardless of the type of special aura, it is usually quite rare in Seven Stars Province.

Only in places like Seven Stars Holy Land can a greater abundance of special auras be found.

But now, Xiao Shi and the others clearly felt... that the entire Tree Shadow City was filled with countless Spirit Tree Qis.

These Spirit Tree Qis were as abundant as air.

They permeated every corner of Tree Shadow City.

This greatly shocked their minds.

"This... with so many Spirit Tree Qis, wouldn't all the Qi Vortexes of the Qi Martial Realm martial artists in this city be Spirit Tree Qi Vortexes!?"

Wang Luo exclaimed in horror.

When they were in the secret realm of Seven Stars Holy Land, they only managed to open a dozen special Qi Vortexes, and that alone had allowed them to reach a level beyond what ordinary people could achieve.

But here... a dozen special Qi Vortexes seemed to be nothing at all.

Even Xiao Shi.

He was also somewhat surprised.

He had initially thought that only he could achieve all Qi Vortexes being special Qi Vortexes.

But now it seemed... in other places outside of Seven Stars Province, this was not such a particularly difficult thing.

Seven Stars Province was, after all, too small and too low in its tier.

Many things that were incredible and difficult for Seven Stars Province to achieve.

Were actually very common in other places.

And even Tian Dou Province was merely one province within the Star Luo Territory.

Compared to Seven Stars Province, it was naturally much larger.

But placed within the entire Tianwu Continent... it was still as tiny as a speck of dust.

This also made Xiao Shi realize.

Relying solely on all Taiyin Qi Vortexes was not enough for him to reach the peak of the Qi Martial Realm.

Perhaps having all Qi Vortexes as special Qi Vortexes was the norm in many places.

But if all special Qi Vortexes were extreme special Qi Vortexes... that would be different!

After all, expanding a Qi Vortex was an extremely difficult task in itself.

Not to mention expanding it to its limit.

Xiao Shi believed that even in places larger than Tian Dou Province, no one could achieve this.

At this moment, the six of them were on a street in Tree Shadow City.

This city was like a city in a forest.

The entire city was filled with lush green trees of various kinds.

Whether it was residential houses or shops, they were all in the form of treehouses.

And the seeds within their bodies, in addition to making them feel the vast and endless Spirit Tree Qi in the city, also transmitted information about Tree Shadow City to them.

Their current identities were Outer Sect Disciples of Rapid Shadow Palace.

The tree seeds within their bodies were key to their survival and cultivation in the city.

For Qi Martial Realm martial artists.

The most important thing was to continuously open the Qi Vortexes within their bodies.

Although most of the Qi Martial Realm martial artists in Tree Shadow City had Spirit Tree Qi Vortexes, there were also some who had opened other Qi Vortexes.

Therefore, no matter how much Spirit Tree Qi there was in the city, it would not have much effect on those who possessed other Qi Vortexes.

Rapid Shadow Palace had considered this point.

Thus, they gave them an opportunity to convert special auras.

This allowed them to convert Spirit Tree Qi into the same special aura within their bodies through the tree seeds.

However.

This conversion would cause significant wear and tear on the tree seeds.

It required constant recharging of the tree seeds.

And each recharge.

Required a certain amount of contribution points.

And it wasn't just the conversion between special auras that required the use of tree seeds.

In Tree Shadow City, many things required the use of tree seeds.

It could be said that the tree seed was the core item for survival and cultivation in Tree Shadow City.

After realizing this.

Yang Zhen immediately said eagerly.

"Then can we now convert these Spirit Tree Qis into the special auras within our respective bodies?"

Fan Li calmly shook his head.

"Don't rush yet. We don't know how much tree seed energy will be consumed for one conversion of a special aura. If we deplete the tree seed energy in one go, it might affect our residence here."

"That's right."

Slit-Eyes also nodded.

Through the information transmitted by the tree seeds, he learned that residing in Tree Shadow City would also consume tree seed energy.

If they depleted the tree seed energy in one go for the conversion of special auras... then they would be unable to reside there.

"I suggest we don't rush to convert special auras. Let's first figure out the specific consumption of the tree seeds."

Slit-Eyes suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They were new here.

They needed to explore and understand first.

Both the tree seeds and contribution points needed to be understood to some extent.

They immediately started to wander around Tree Shadow City.

Soon they discovered... that in the many shops of Tree Shadow City, they could buy various items that were difficult to find in Seven Stars Province.

Whether it was pills, weapons, ancient texts, or other miscellaneous items, they were all abundant.

Even heavenly treasures!

Were present!

This couldn't help but make Xiao Shi sigh again.

Seven Stars Province... was indeed too small!

In his understanding, heavenly treasures were extremely rare and uncommon.

The entire Seven Stars Province only had heavenly treasures in Seven Stars Holy Land.

But in the vast Tian Dou Province, although heavenly treasures were still rare, they were not completely unseen.

"Then in Tian Dou Province, there must also be body cultivators!"

Xiao Shi's eyes flickered slightly.

He had never seen body cultivators in Seven Stars Province.

But given the situation in Tian Dou Province, there must be body cultivators here.

He just didn't know what level the body cultivators here could reach?

Although the various items available for purchase in Tree Shadow City were numerous.

Their prices were also extremely astonishing.

At the same time, they were not sold with Martial Coins, but with contribution points.

In fact, with the collapse of the Great Wu Dynasty's imperial power.

Many places no longer used Martial Coins.

This resulted in the Martial Coins on Xiao Shi and the others being essentially useless!

In addition to purchasing items.

They also discovered that Tree Shadow City had Array Masters, Puppet Masters, and others that Seven Stars Province did not have.

As long as they had enough contribution points, they could purchase arrays and puppets from these Array Masters and Puppet Masters.

They could also hire some disciples of Rapid Shadow Palace.

As long as there were enough contribution points... there were many things that could be done here.

After some understanding.

They all realized.

The most important thing right now was to earn contribution points!

Whether it was recharging the tree seeds or buying and selling items here, sufficient contribution points were needed.

And there were many ways to earn contribution points in Tree Shadow City.

The most common way was to accept tasks issued by the sect.

However, the tasks issued by the sect were often limited in number and were usually snatched up as soon as they were released.

To get a task issued by the sect... depended heavily on luck!

This was very different from Red Tiger Sect.

Tasks were always available in Red Tiger Sect.

But in Rapid Shadow Palace, sect tasks were extremely scarce and sought after.

It was not an easy task to get a task issued by the sect.

Besides sect tasks.

One could also accept tasks issued by other disciples.

In Rapid Shadow Palace, it wasn't just the sect that could issue tasks; even Outer Sect Disciples could issue tasks.

As long as they had contribution points, they could issue tasks.

In Tree Shadow City, there was a designated place for accepting tasks; whether it was sect tasks or private tasks, one could go there to accept them.

However, just as Xiao Shi and the others were preparing to go and check it out.

A bell suddenly rang throughout the city.

The entire bell chime carried a strange power.

Under this bell chime.

The tree seeds within Xiao Shi and the others all trembled, as if they had been sealed in some way, and most of the functions of all the tree seeds were suddenly lost.

"This is..."

Everyone simultaneously looked up at the sky.

The sky had already darkened.

Night was falling!

There was a significant difference between day and night in Tree Shadow City.

"Tree Shadow City has a curfew rule. Unless one has purchased night movement rights, they can go out at night. Otherwise, when night falls, they must immediately return to their treehouses, or there will be serious consequences!"

Fan Li said with a frown.

However, night movement rights required a total of three thousand contribution points to purchase.

Given their current situation, it was clearly impossible for any of them to afford it.

They could only return to their treehouses first.

On their way back.

They all saw... as night fell.

Many trees in Tree Shadow City began to grow at a visible speed.

This caused the forest city to be quickly enveloped by numerous lush trees.

Even the sky was gradually covered by the growth of these trees.

In just a short while, a portion had already been covered.

These disciples who did not have night movement rights had to return to their treehouses before these trees completely covered the sky.

At this moment, they could see... many people in the city were starting to return to their respective treehouses.

Apparently, not everyone had purchased night movement rights.

Soon.

Xiao Shi and the others found their respective treehouses.

As Outer Sect Disciples, each person was allocated an independent treehouse in Tree Shadow City.

The entire treehouse was quite large.

The moment they entered the treehouse.

The door of the entire treehouse automatically sealed shut.

It would only open after daybreak.

As soon as Xiao Shi entered the treehouse, he immediately felt the difference in the entire treehouse.

In this treehouse, the Qi Strength within his body actually became active, his mind also became flexible, and his thoughts clear... This kind of situation usually only occurred when his comprehension improved.

But now, in the treehouse, it had such an astonishing effect!

"Every treehouse has effects like accelerated cultivation, improved comprehension, and healing injuries..."

Xiao Shi was secretly astonished.

However, similarly, for every night spent in the treehouse, the tree seed energy within the body would be depleted to a certain extent.

Once the energy inside the tree seed was exhausted.

One would no longer be able to reside in the treehouse.

At that time... once night fell, one could only be expelled from Tree Shadow City, and could only enter the city after daybreak.

Xiao Shi sat in the house.

He began to plan his next actions.

To establish himself in Tree Shadow City now, contribution points were key.

However, earning contribution points was not difficult for him.

After all, he still had many Entering Martial Rank items that could be sold.

These items were not easy to sell in Seven Stars Province.

Some items were not even available in Seven Stars Province itself, and rashly taking them out would inevitably cause trouble.

But here... there were no such concerns.

Xiao Shi only needed to sell these items he had, and he would immediately acquire many contribution points.

He just had to consider.

If he suddenly acquired a large number of contribution points, would Rapid Shadow Palace notice?

After all, they were all under the control of Rapid Shadow Palace now.

The tree seeds within their bodies also originated from Rapid Shadow Palace.

Rapid Shadow Palace must have a way to check everyone's contribution points.

If his contribution points suddenly increased significantly, it was very likely that Rapid Shadow Palace would detect it immediately.

At that time... he, this inconspicuous follower, would inevitably receive special attention!

This was definitely not acceptable.

"Is there any way to hide it from Rapid Shadow Palace?"

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

Contribution points were mainly recorded in the tree seeds.

To hide it from Rapid Shadow Palace, he could only tamper with the tree seeds.

"These tree seeds should be similar to a derivative. If the Crimson Tiger Totem recovers, it should also be able to derive similar things..."

"If I can tamper with it, perhaps I can hide it from Rapid Shadow Palace!"

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi immediately tried to tamper with the tree seed through the Crimson Tiger Totem.

He knew very well.

The only thing on him that could tamper with the tree seed was the Crimson Tiger Totem.

Whoosh!

As the power of the Crimson Tiger Totem seeped in.

Xiao Shi cautiously began to tamper.

He knew he couldn't tamper too much, or too obviously, otherwise it was very likely to be detected.

And during the tampering.

This tree seed also seemed a bit fragile.

A slight carelessness would cause it to shatter.

Fortunately, after some tampering.

Xiao Shi successfully modified the tree seed.

What he modified was mainly the tree seed's concealment of contribution points. This modification was not too big.

If he were to modify the amount of contribution points... such a modification would easily be detected as abnormal.

And the possibility of success was also not high.

But concealing contribution points was relatively easier.

"This way, I won't have to worry about Rapid Shadow Palace detecting me if I have too many contribution points. What they see will only be the value I want them to see! At the same time, the usage records of contribution points will also be hidden and leave no trace."

With this layer of protection.

He could then safely sell the items on him and exchange them for contribution points.

There were many items sold in Tree Shadow City.

As long as he had enough contribution points, Xiao Shi could also purchase the items he needed here, such as... heavenly treasures!

At this stage, he needed an incredibly large amount of heavenly treasures to cultivate the final Vajra Bone of the Nine Refinements Vajra Body.

At the same time, for Qi Vortex expansion, he also needed more Qi Warrior Grade items.

However, he didn't have to worry too much about opening the remaining Qi Vortexes.

With the vast amount of Spirit Tree Qi in this place, it would definitely be enough for him to open the many remaining Qi Vortexes.

Although these Spirit Tree Qis needed to be converted.

Xiao Shi didn't need to convert them through the tree seeds in his body like others.

He could directly modify them through the mysterious badge on him!

This way, he wouldn't consume the energy of the tree seeds.
