335: Fusion of spiritual wood, puppet lizard upgraded again

Mu Feng quickly stepped forward.

He picked up the two items that the Ugly Woman had dropped.

System Reminder: Tianlei Bamboo x1

System Reminder: Heart of Transformation x1

“Heart of Transformation?”

Looking at the red prompt that appeared before him,

Mu Feng curiously picked up the dark green spherical bead.

The bead felt very elastic in his hand.

Its texture was similar to silicone.

It felt substantial.

After weighing it in his hand and playing with it for a while,

Mu Feng released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to investigate its information.

Heart of Transformation: An item found on a Transformed Essence Spirit, also known as the Heart of Transformed Flora. It contains the essence of a Transformed Essence Spirit and has wide-ranging uses. It is an important material for refining various Nascent Soul Medicinal Pills, and can also be used to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants to ten thousand years.

“So it’s a Heart of Transformed Flora.”

“I thought it was a new item.”

“It can accelerate the growth of spiritual plants to ten thousand years and can also be used for Alchemy.”

After reading the introductory information,

Mu Feng nodded.

When he saw her take it out earlier, Mu Feng had thought it would be an explosive item like the Thunder Beads.

He didn't expect it to be the wood heart of a Shaped Bamboo Demon.

It looked like

It had probably intended to self-detonate just now.

Fortunately, he had used Spirit Shocking Thorn to interrupt its skill.

Otherwise, the opponent's strategy of self-detonating its Yao Beast Core

Was indeed somewhat dangerous.

After carefully storing the Heart of Transformed Flora, Mu Feng looked at the other item.

It was a section of Tianlei Bamboo emitting purple lightning.

The Tianlei Bamboo was still relatively intact.

It looked like it could still be planted.

This made Mu Feng couldn't help but consider cultivating it to ten thousand years.

There was a significant difference between a ten-thousand-year Tianlei Bamboo and one that hadn't reached ten thousand years.

Only when it reached ten thousand years

Could it release Divine Thunder with exorcising effects.

Although purple lightning and gold lightning only differed by one word,

Their power difference was immense.

If the Ugly Woman had attacked him with gold lightning just now,

The Treasure Dropping Flower Basket might not have been able to block it.

“I wonder what year this bamboo is?”

“I hope it’s seven or eight thousand years old.”

The purple bamboo should be less than ten thousand years old.

But there was still an eight-thousand-year gap between two thousand and ten thousand years.

If this bamboo was old enough,

Then the difficulty of his cultivation would greatly decrease.

With anticipation,

Mu Feng opened the information of the purple Tianlei Bamboo.

Name: Purple Lightning Bamboo

Age: 9000 years

Description: One of the three great Divine Woods in the Immortal Realm, a purple lightning bamboo that has not yet reached ten thousand years. It can release purple lightning, which has a certain restraining effect on evil Yao Beasts.

Effect: It is a top-tier material for refining some special exorcising Magic Treasures.

....

“9000 years!”

“That’s good.”

Seeing that the age of this section of Tianlei Bamboo had already reached nine thousand years,

Mu Feng's face showed a joyful expression.

With a nine-thousand-year-old Tianlei Bamboo, he only needed to take it back and cultivate it for another thousand years.

Then he could transform it into a ten-thousand-year gold lightning bamboo.

At that time, whether it was used to refine Magic Treasures or directly extract the Tianlei from it for his own use,

Both were good choices.

“Comfortable!”

Having obtained two good treasures in a row,

Mu Feng felt incredibly refreshed.

After storing the Tianlei Bamboo,

Mu Feng continued to walk towards the Ugly Woman's main body.

After the Ugly Woman died,

Her main body also reverted.

It was pretty much as Mu Feng had guessed earlier.

The Ugly Woman's main body was a purple bamboo.

It was covered in pitted sword marks.

It was clear that the sword array had indeed caused her some damage.

After a casual glance,

Mu Feng squatted down and began to collect from her main body.

System Reminder: Transformed Spiritual Wood x5

System Prompt: Transformed Bamboo Liquid x500ml

....

Perhaps because the previous items had already been dropped,

Mu Feng collected very little this time.

Only two.

They were several sections of spiritual wood and a bamboo tube full of liquid.

Those liquids had very strong vitality.

They almost rivaled the Life Continent Dew he had obtained earlier.

This made Mu Feng very curious about their use.

He immediately released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to investigate.

Transformed Bamboo Liquid: Formed from the essence within a Transformed Bamboo Demon, it possesses a strong life aura. It can be used to water some withered spiritual plants, allowing them to regain vitality, and can also be used to water rootless plants, helping them regrow roots.

“Seems decent.”

Originally, Mu Feng had thought this Transformed Bamboo Liquid would be like the various tree saps he had obtained before, used for healing injuries and restoring Magic Power.

He didn't expect it to be used to save withered spiritual plants.

This made Mu Feng a little bit annoyed.

After all, he didn't have any spiritual plants that needed this Transformed Bamboo Liquid right now.

However, the effect of this Transformed Bamboo Liquid was indeed good.

Perhaps he might need it in the future.

After putting away the Transformed Bamboo Liquid,

Mu Feng looked at the purple bamboo wood.

Transformed Spiritual Wood: An item that can be probabilistically collected after killing a Transformed Essence Spirit in an Immortal Cave. It possesses high flexibility and can be integrated into a Puppet's body, making it more flexible.

“Something to upgrade Puppets?!”

After reading the information on the Transformed Spiritual Wood,

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

He immediately called over the Little Lizard, who was guarding beside him.

“Little Lizard, come here!”

“I have something good for you!”

The Little Lizard was his trump card.

As long as it was an item that could enhance it,

Mu Feng was never stingy.

“Shua shua?”

The Little Lizard's Super Berserk Art had ended.

Its body looked a little tired.

However, it didn't directly fall into a deep sleep like before.

Hearing Mu Feng's call,

It quickly rushed towards him.

System Reminder: Do you want to fuse the Transformed Spiritual Wood with the Puppet Lizard? After Fusion, the Puppet Lizard's body flexibility will increase.

“Fuse!”

Mu Feng nodded, then merged the Transformed Spiritual Wood in his hand into the Puppet Lizard's body.

As the spiritual wood entered its body,

The Puppet Lizard's body immediately emitted a dazzling light.

Its originally silver-white body, after integrating these purple spiritual woods,

Immediately had several streaks of purple at various joints.

System Reminder: The Puppet Lizard has fused with the Transformed Spiritual Wood, and its body flexibility has been improved. Details can be viewed on the Puppet page.

The process of spiritual wood Fusion was very simple.

It didn't require deep sleep.

In just a few seconds, it successfully fused with the Little Lizard.

“That fast!”

In the past, the Little Lizard always needed to sleep for a long time before successful Fusion.

Now, being able to complete the Fusion so quickly,

Mu Feng even felt a sense of being overwhelmed by favor.

“Flexibility, I wonder if it’s related to toughness?”

With curiosity,

Mu Feng opened the Little Lizard's Puppet page.

He investigated its newly added patches.

Name: Puppet Lizard (Ancient Variant Puppet)

Description: Due to the admixture of Mithril, the Puppet Lizard's body underwent a mutation, and its body hardness is ten times that of an ordinary Puppet Lizard. (New 1: The Puppet Lizard absorbed a large amount of Materials, and its body performance was enhanced, increasing speed, attack, and defense. New 2: The Puppet Lizard absorbed the Blood Python Jiao's innate single horn and learned a new innate skill. New 3: The Puppet Lizard absorbed an Advanced Puppet Core, and its body performance was further enhanced, increasing speed, Cultivation Technique, and defense. New 4: The Puppet Lizard fused with millennial willow wood, and its durability increased. New 5: The Puppet Lizard absorbed the Double-Headed Flood Dragon's innate single horn and learned a new skill.

Skills: Bite, Charge, Super Berserk Art, Strong Mental Control, Golden Flame, Puppet Repair.

Durability: 100000 / 100000

.....

The Little Lizard's new patches were increasing.

Mu Feng's eyes were getting a little blurry from looking at them.

He scrolled to the very bottom before he could clearly see the newly added function this time.

“Body became flexible, movements no longer stiff?!”

“Holy cow, doesn't that mean it's almost no different from an ordinary Immortal Cave creature?”

This new addition didn't seem to increase the Little Lizard's combat power.

But for the Little Lizard, it was a qualitative change.

Because after fusing with these Transformed Spiritual Woods,

Its body could finally move flexibly, just like an ordinary Immortal Cave creature.

This made it much more convenient for both combat and helping Mu Feng find treasures in the future.

“Shua shua shua shua!”

The Little Lizard seemed to have also noticed the change in its body, as its two front limbs continuously bent and trembled.

Its expression was even more overjoyed.

“Hahaha, how is it? Happy, right?”

Seeing the Little Lizard so happy,

Mu Feng was also very happy for it.

If it continued to evolve like this, perhaps it could really transform into a human form like a Yao Beast in the future, who knows.

“I wonder if the Little Lizard is male or female?”

Puppets do not have gender.

However, if it could transform in the future, it would definitely differentiate between male and female.

“Forget it, it’s too early to think about all this now.”

For a Puppet to transform, it would probably need to reach Soul Transformation Realm or beyond.

That was truly a long way off for him.

He himself was still only a Core Formation Cultivator.

The Soul Transformation Realm was too far away for both him and the Little Lizard.

Mu Feng closed the Puppet page.

He then collected from the Ugly Woman's main body a few more times.

After confirming that there were indeed only two types of Materials,

He took the Little Lizard and left the area.

He continued to walk towards the core area indicated on the treasure map in his hand.

You are about to enter the area where the treasure map is located. You can take it out and check it; there should already be instructions on it.

“Here!”

Mu Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the content in the red prompt.

He reached out and took out the treasure map from his Storage Ring.

As the prompt said,

The originally unremarkable treasure map now had a red dot indicating the location.

Having investigated treasure map information many times, Mu Feng immediately deciphered the information of the dot on this treasure map.

The two dots on it should represent his current location and the location of the diamond treasure chest.

The smaller red dot was himself.

Because there were also arrows indicating the direction.

He only needed to walk about ten more kilometers to reach the location of the diamond treasure chest.

“Go, go, go!”

Decryption successful.

Mu Feng immediately moved quickly towards the location of the diamond treasure chest.

A distance of over ten kilometers was only a matter of half a minute for him now.

Actually, Mu Feng could have moved even faster.

However, considering the large number of Yao Beasts in the Purple Bamboo Forest,

Mu Feng deliberately slowed down his speed a bit.

This way, he could react quickly if he encountered a surprise attack.

“It should be here.”

Half a minute later, Mu Feng stopped in front of a cave.

According to the red dot on the treasure map, the diamond treasure chest should be inside this cave.

“Little Lizard, let’s go!”

The Little Lizard was still suffering from the after-effects of the Super Berserk Art.

So Mu Feng didn't let it go ahead to lead the way as before.

Instead, he had it follow him, walking side by side.

The cave was a bit dim.

Although it didn't significantly affect his vision, Mu Feng still released his Fireball Technique to use as illumination.

“I didn’t expect this cave to look so small from the outside, but it’s so vast inside.”

This cave perfectly embodied the phrase 'hidden depths'.

After observing it for a while and confirming that there were no Yao Beasts guarding inside,

Mu Feng quickly stepped in and walked towards the depths of the cave.

After passing through several narrow passages,

The treasure chest inside the cave appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

It was a crystal-clear, shimmering box.

It was precisely the diamond treasure chest he had obtained twice before.

Seeing the treasure chest appear, Mu Feng was very happy.

However, he didn't rush over.

Generally speaking,

Places with good things should be guarded by Yao Beasts.

Especially in a place like the Purple Bamboo Forest, where there were many Yao Beasts.

However, what puzzled Mu Feng was that after he scanned the surroundings with both his Divine Sense and Spiritual Eye Divine Power, he didn't find anything.

“Did I think too much?”

“Or did the Yao Beast here already leave?”

Yao Beasts could move freely, Mu Feng had known this for a long time.

However, just in case,

Mu Feng once again released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to carefully investigate everything around him.

You wouldn't believe it, this time,

He really did notice some clues.

Name: Treasure Chest Monster

Realm: ???

Description: A special Yao Beast whose body shape is almost identical to a diamond treasure chest. It usually transforms into a diamond treasure chest to lure enemies, and once the enemy lowers their guard, it bites off their head.

Skills: Disguise, Bite, Self-Destruct.

View skill details.

Disguise: The Treasure Chest Monster can disguise its body as any treasure chest it has seen.

Bite: The Treasure Chest Monster will quickly bite off the enemy's head when the enemy falls for its trick and lowers their guard.

Self-Destruct: The Treasure Chest Monster detonates its body, causing violent damage to nearby enemies.

....

Yes.

The treasure chest he was seeing now was not a real diamond box.

Instead, it was a Treasure Chest Monster using its innate ability to transform its body into the appearance of a diamond treasure chest.

The Treasure Chest Monster's skills were all quite insidious.

Fortunately, Mu Feng was cautious enough.

Otherwise, if he had just gone over and picked up the treasure chest, he might have fallen into its trap.

Now,

Since he had discerned that the opponent was a disguised treasure chest,

Mu Feng had hundreds of ways to deal with it.
