Chapter 128: Wood-attribute mutual generation! Strength greatly increased! Jiang Ye

~8 min read 1,433 words

Time passed bit by bit.

The sky gradually darkened.

In the herb garden, that thin, withered figure sat quietly beside the Azure Wood Vine, breathing long and slow, and under the moonlight, his whole body radiated a pale green light.

Who knows how much time had passed.

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes. In those aged eyes, besides the familiar red-gold flames flickering, there was now a trace of pale green vitality, like withered wood meeting spring, quietly flowing at the bottom of his eyes.

"Sure enough, the five elements generate and restrain each other; this fire qi will not repel wood qi."

A flash of realization appeared on Jiang Ye's face.

He had previously tried to fuse fire-attribute true qi and water-attribute true qi together, but failed.

That was because water and fire restrain each other among the five elements and are naturally incompatible.

But now, with the addition of wood qi, the situation was completely different.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood.

The five elements rotate, generating and helping each other; he had finally found the key to breaking the shackles.

"However, the wood qi is still lacking a bit; it's not enough."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes again, nourishing wood qi from the Azure Wood Vine.

In the second half of the night, the moon had tilted to the west.

The pale green light around Jiang Ye's body became more and more intense, reflecting his whole person like an ancient tree that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, its branches and leaves spread out, its roots deep and firm.

The light was no longer a scattered halo, but had condensed into substance, flowing slowly around him, as if it had life.

"It's now!"

Jiang Ye gave a low shout in his heart.

Inside the dantian, those wisps of wood qi full of lush vitality seemed to hear a command, and under the guidance of his mind, they suddenly condensed.

They were no longer invisible air currents, but turned into drops of verdant liquid, rotating, intertwining, and fusing, like spring rain converging into a stream, and the stream converging into a river.

The verdant light became brighter and thicker, as if something was gestating and growing.

Hum—!!!

A soft sound, like an ancient tree sprouting, like a tender leaf breaking through the soil, subtle yet clear, echoed in the silent dantian.

The sound was not loud, but it shook Jiang Ye's mind.

A pale green pill floated quietly in the dantian.

It was verdant and dripping, with fine patterns like wood grain on its surface, like a seed that had just sprouted, and also like a miniature forest.

It floated quietly, exuding a warm and gentle light, carrying the unique fragrance of grass and trees.

The two red-gold and water-blue pills around it trembled slightly, emitting a low resonance.

The three pills were arranged in a triangle, each occupying a corner, echoing one another.

Fire-attribute is scorching, water-attribute is long-lasting, and wood-attribute is endless.

Three completely different powers, at this moment, actually coexisted harmoniously in the same dantian.

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes. In those aged eyes, red-gold, water-blue, and pale green lights flashed alternately, then slowly faded away.

He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, which carried a faint fragrance of grass and trees, slowly drifting away in the night wind.

"It's done!"

He looked down at his hands, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The feeling of the three pills echoing each other in the dantian was like three streams converging into the same lake, harmonious and full.

With a thought, a wisp of red-gold true qi emerged from his fingertips, like a small cluster of flames, jumping and flickering in the night.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the newly condensed Azure Wood true qi in his body, and slowly injected it into the cluster of red-gold flames.

The next instant.

Boom—!!!

The red-gold true qi, which had been jumping quietly like a small flame, was like being filled with a pile of vigorous dry wood, and the flames suddenly exploded. The firelight soared into the sky, heat waves rolled, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted, emitting a "hissing" sound.

If Jiang Ye hadn't been prepared and quickly pulled his palm back a few inches, he himself would have almost been affected by the exploding flames.

Even so, his face could still feel a scorching heat, and even his eyebrows were slightly curled by the heat.

A flash of wild joy appeared in Jiang Ye's eyes, and his aged eyes were turned red by the firelight: "This wood-attribute true qi actually has such a great boost to fire-attribute true qi!"

Wood generates fire; of course he understood this principle, but knowing it is one thing, and experiencing it personally is another.

Just a moment ago, the power of the fire-attribute true qi had at least doubled!

If this move were used in actual combat, even a powerhouse of the same rank would suffer a big loss if caught off guard.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and again had a wisp of pale green Azure Wood true qi emerge from his fingertips.

The true qi was like a tender leaf, verdant and dripping, glowing with a soft luster under the moonlight.

Immediately, he carefully injected a trace of water-blue true qi into the Azure Wood true qi.

Hum!!!

The Azure Wood true qi suddenly expanded, and its vitality bloomed.

If the Azure Wood true qi at his fingertips at the beginning was like a small grass that had just broken through the soil.

Then, with the blessing of the water-attribute true qi, it instantly grew into a sapling that had broken through the soil, its branches and leaves spread out, full of vitality, and even the air was filled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

He had expected this scene.

Previously, outside the ruins of Tai'an Mountain, he had seen Yang Han fuse water and wood true qi with his own eyes, and the power was not bad.

It's just that the other party's fusion of water and wood true qi didn't seem as perfect as his own.

That woman's water and wood true qi, although they could generate each other, carried a bit of stiffness.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

From this moment on, he truly realized the benefits of cultivating multiple types of true qi.

The five elements generate each other, linked ring by ring.

Taking a look at the system panel, Jiang Ye nodded with satisfaction.

This "Azure Wood Longevity Qi-Nurturing Method" is worthy of being a health-preserving technique; his lifespan finally broke through the two-hundred-year mark.

Later, as the realm of this Qi-Nurturing Method improves, his lifespan can continue to grow.

"I must get the other two Qi-Nurturing Methods as soon as possible..."

After the wild joy, Jiang Ye pondered in his heart.

He still had 20,000 contribution points, and he was still 40,000 points short to exchange for the other two Qi-Nurturing Methods.

Go take on missions to earn contribution points?

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly.

That's too slow.

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed in his mind.

He could borrow!

As for who to borrow from...

The faces of Wen Yueyao, Zheng Feng, and Qin Lie flashed in Jiang Ye's mind.

He had an idea.

"However, the most important thing for me now is to quickly dissipate the fire qi."

Jiang Ye felt the restless true qi in his body.

He had just used the wood-attribute true qi to help ignite the Great Sun Heavenly Flame true qi, and the fire-attribute true qi in his body was very restless.

Jiang Ye's gaze looked toward the direction of Jin Chen Peak.

Just right, he could also test how the endless vitality would be after adding water-attribute true qi to wood-attribute true qi. ===== CHAPTER 129 =====
