168. Chapter 168: If You Don't Give, I'll Snatch! Medusa
"Hua hua!!"
The Bodhi Ancient Tree swayed wildly, as if nodding eagerly. Clearly, Ye Ming's words had hit the mark.
Regarding this, Ye Ming was also a bit helpless; no wonder this stupid tree was eroded by the Dou Di's negative emotions.
To save it, he had to go through the process; if he didn't swallow it, who would he swallow?
Seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree agree, Ye Ming simply didn't beat around the bush with it and spoke directly:
"I can help you dispel the Dou Di's negative emotions, but after it's done, you have to move your nest."
He displayed the scene within his Force Path Immortal Aperture and showed it to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
"It's very big inside, enough to be your new home."
Originally, he wanted to negotiate terms with the Bodhi Ancient Tree, but thinking of the other party's worrying intelligence, he extinguished this idea.
To him, the Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Seed were treasures, but to himself, they had no effect.
They could be given to the clones to improve their strength, and then integrated into himself, which wouldn't be a waste.
What he truly valued was the hundred generations of reincarnation and this wonderful ancient tree.
If it were moved into his Immortal Aperture, the resources of the Immortal Aperture would inevitably reach a higher level.
As long as the resources were rich enough, the Immortal Essence produced by the Immortal Aperture would also be more.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree listened to Ye Ming's words, was silent for a while, and then swayed again, as if it were about to crash again.
This time Ye Ming didn't indulge it and said frankly: "If this point cannot be done, I can't help you."
"After all, those Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Seed are my things!"
The Bodhi Ancient Tree was stunned, and the whole tree instantly felt bad.
His things? Weren't those its companion fruits? Seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree's confusion, Ye Ming said faintly: "If you don't give, I'll snatch!"
"If you can't guard them, naturally these things are my things!"
"In addition, I promised to help you, which is giving you face. Otherwise, I'll go out now, pull up the roots of your entire tree, and transplant it directly into my Immortal Aperture."
"Don't doubt whether I can do this; I think you should have seen my means."
He smiled slightly, a cold light flashing in his pupils, and continued: "You don't have much time left; that Dou Di's negative emotions should wake up very soon."
"At that time, it won't be your turn to negotiate with me."
The Bodhi Ancient Tree calmed down for a good while, seemingly digesting what Ye Ming had said.
In an instant, its leaves swayed again, and green light spots drifted out from within its body, suspending before Ye Ming.
The light gradually weakened, revealing crystal-clear Bodhi Seeds. A full twenty-four Bodhi Seeds floated before him.
Clearly, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's action had already proven its decision.
After all, it was an ancient tree that had given birth to a bit of intelligence; not wanting to be replaced by the Dou Di's negative emotions, it could only agree to Ye Ming.
Immediately, Ye Ming did not hesitate anymore, directly using his rich soul foundation and Immortal Essence as a guide, opening the Refining Path means, throwing a Bodhi Seed into the light group before him, and beginning to refine it.
Within the Bodhi Seed, there was extremely formidable energy; even using Refining Path means to refine it was quite difficult.
The refining lasted for about an hour, and that Bodhi Seed turned into a mass of crystal-clear liquid; after another half an hour, those liquids slowly evaporated, turning into a wisp of clear Qi with emerald green.
This wisp of clear Qi drilled out from the light group and integrated entirely into the emerald Bodhi Ancient Tree before him.
Accompanied by the Bodhi Ancient Tree's shaking again, a wisp of extremely faint black Qi permeated out quietly, finally turning into nothingness and disappearing.
Seeing that it was effective, Ye Ming simply sat down. The time to refine the Bodhi Seeds was very long, not a matter of a moment.
Seeing Ye Ming sit down, the Bodhi Ancient Tree swayed, releasing a mass of green light that condensed into an ancient prayer mat, respectfully handing it to Ye Ming.
Sitting on the prayer mat, he instantly felt a mass of pure energy pouring into his body like a tide. The fatigue on his body and soul dissipated in this instant.
This also made him even happier in his heart. Originally, he wanted to move the Bodhi Ancient Tree into his Force Path Immortal Aperture as a potted plant to increase resources, but he didn't expect this Bodhi Ancient Tree to have such a formidable recovery effect.
"Sure enough, I couldn't miss it!"
Murmuring to himself, Ye Ming continued to refine the Bodhi Seeds before him, dispelling the Dou Di's negative emotions for the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Now that the Bodhi Ancient Tree's intelligence had compromised, he naturally had to try his best to dispel that Dou Di's negative emotions.
If he let that Dou Di borrow the tree to return to life, wouldn't he be fetching water with a bamboo basket?
Under Ye Ming's frantic refining, in less than an hour, another Bodhi Seed turned into a wisp of clear Qi, rising from the light group and integrating into the Bodhi Ancient Tree's body.
At the same time, a wisp of black Qi within its body dissipated again.
Sensing the gradually dissipating black Qi, the Bodhi Ancient Tree also transmitted a wave of excited emotional fluctuations. It swayed its branches, releasing more pure energy, pouring into Ye Ming's body to compensate for his consumption.
In this cycle, Ye Ming continuously refined these Bodhi Seeds.
After a long time, the Bodhi Seeds before him had all been refined. When he looked up, he happened to see another wisp of black Qi released from the Bodhi Ancient Tree before him, turning into a piece of nothingness and disappearing.
Accompanied by the dissipation of this wisp of black Qi, that Bodhi Ancient Tree, which was like emerald jade, suddenly transmitted a buzzing sound, and a dazzling green glow released from its body, enveloping the entire sky.
The vitality within this space became even richer.
He looked at this Bodhi Ancient Tree before him, and a feeling arose in his heart; it seemed that the current ancient tree's intelligence was much higher.
The gloomy and evil aura that had originally been on the ancient tree also disappeared completely, giving people a strange feeling of holiness and wisdom.
Just at this time, a branch of the Bodhi Ancient Tree slowly extended, like a human palm, touching Ye Ming's head.
From that tree branch, he could sense a kind of joyful emotion.
Clearly, the Dou Di's negative emotions on the Bodhi Ancient Tree had been completely cleared.
A smile also hooked on Ye Ming's face; now it was the season for harvest.
A strange sound came from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and emerald green light burst out from its body, as if countless tentacles were pulling Ye Ming, who was sitting on the prayer mat, toward its trunk.
The moment the two touched, a series of special ripples appeared on the trunk.
Ye Ming slowly integrated into it at this time, sitting cross-legged in the center of the trunk like a sculpture, without any movement.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree had three treasures: Bodhi Heart, Bodhi Seed, and enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The former two were rare treasures for breaking through realms, while this third one was a bit more ethereal.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree, also known as the Reincarnation Ancient Tree, was said to possess the strange divine effect of allowing people to experience a hundred generations of reincarnation. Those who had experienced such reincarnation training possessed the potential to step into the Dou Di realm.
Hundred generations of reincarnation!
This was also an important purpose for Ye Ming to seek the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Below the Tagor Desert, the underground magma world.
Lin Dong's body was permeated with circles of black aura, and the power of devouring wrapped around his body. Between his crotch, there was a huge two-headed fire spirit snake.
"Still running from me!"
Lin Dong hammered down with a "dong" punch, and the two-headed fire spirit snake whimpered, its aura instantly wilting, no longer resisting.
Sitting on the giant neck of the two-headed fire spirit snake, Lin Dong snorted coldly, "Take me down, or I'll hammer you to death!"
The two-headed fire spirit snake whimpered, not daring to resist anymore, and with a flick of its tail, it drilled toward the depths of the magma world.
As the man and snake descended, the temperature around them became increasingly high. However, the power of devouring on Lin Dong's body was like a top-tier treasure armor with formidable defensive power, blocking all that heat outside.
After descending for a full twenty minutes, Lin Dong suddenly discovered that in the magma below, there was a place where cyan light was flourishing.
He patted the head of the two-headed fire spirit snake, released his restraint on it, and swam downward alone.
Seeing this, the two-headed fire spirit snake flicked its tail fiercely and slipped away, as if it were very afraid of Lin Dong.
Lin Dong ignored the two-headed fire spirit snake and swam toward the cyan light on his own.
A moment later, he had arrived within the range enveloped by the cyan light. Looking closely, I saw that in the cyan light, a cyan lotus was standing gently.
"Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking, its power is unpredictable. Near volcanic areas, it can trigger volcanic eruptions..."
Lin Dong looked at the lotus flower that was somewhat blurry, shrouded in cyan light, stroked his chin and said: "Don't know if Medusa got there first."
He did not hesitate anymore, striding toward the center of the cyan light.
After breaking through the shroud of cyan light, Lin Dong looked at the lotus flower in the center of the light.
The cyan lotus flower, divided into eight leaves, had eight cyan leaves, as if it were the most perfect, naturally formed cyan jade, crystal clear and beautiful.
In the lotus flower, there was a small lotus platform about two or three feet in size, and in some holes on the lotus platform, there were some lotus seeds condensed from pure fire-attribute energy.
Below the cyan lotus flower, there were extremely slender lotus roots. These roots were rooted in the magma, frantically absorbing the fire-attribute energy of the surrounding magma world.
This cyan lotus flower floated in the endless magma like this, like duckweed in the sea.
However, Lin Dong looked at the lotus platform in the lotus flower, but a strange look appeared on his face.
I saw that in the center of the lotus platform, there was a hole about the size of a fist, but at this time, that hole was empty.
Looking at this empty lotus heart, Lin Dong stroked his chin: "Didn't expect I came so early, this Green Lotus Core Flame has already been taken away by Medusa."
"Looks like I have to run to the Snake-Person Tribe."
This was the task Ye Ming's main body gave him, although it was to gather Strange Fires for that guy Xu Qi'an, but there was no way.
The main body's order, they, these clones, dared not disobey.
And Lin Dong also knew that now, the entire Dou Qi Continent had long been turned into turmoil by the commotion caused by Xu Qi'an and Long Aotian and the others.
The hurricane stirred up by this giant butterfly had completely disrupted the plot of "Battle Through the Heavens".
Their control over the plot had weakened significantly.
This also proved that Ye Ming's main body was ready to flip the table. Before that, naturally, they had to improve their own strength as much as possible.
Lin Dong looked at the lotus platform before him, reached out, and a seven-colored scale flew into his hand.
Seeing this seven-colored scale, Lin Dong confirmed his guess.
"Fortunately, the butterfly's hurricane hasn't blown the line here into chaos. At least this Green Lotus Core Flame was indeed taken by Medusa."
After putting away the seven-colored scale, he took out a jade ruler from the storage space.
Walking to the front of the lotus flower, Lin Dong waved his small hand, and the part of the lotus seat connected to the roots was gently cut open by him.
That lotus platform carrying the Green Lotus Core Flame fell gently into his hand.
After putting away this lotus platform, he did not hesitate anymore, turned around, entered the magma world, and rushed toward the top.
A moment later, Lin Dong had appeared above the ancient city. He took out a yellowed sheepskin map from the storage space and glanced at it, his gaze falling on the coordinate with a beautiful snake drawn on it.
The next moment, the space before him rippled, revealing a tunnel; Lin Dong did not hesitate, stepping into it in one step.
The Tagor Desert was full of yellow sand, but in the desert, there were still some oases.
On these oases, there was lush green grass, towering ancient trees, and lake water known as the source of life in the desert.
In the depths of the desert, a space suddenly shattered, and Lin Dong, dressed in black, slowly walked out from within.
After glancing at the surrounding environment, he rushed toward a direction again.
After about a quarter of an hour, a huge tribe fortress slowly appeared on the distant horizon.
In the fortress, the lights were bright.
A patch of darkness suddenly permeated around Lin Dong, and he himself integrated into this patch of darkness, walking through the night.
The vast night was the world of the Dark Ancestral Talisman.
Lin Dong sensed that in the snake-person fortress below, countless snake-people were holding torches, patrolling continuously.
However, these snake-people had no defense against the vast night above.
Soon, Lin Dong borrowed the night and arrived in the middle of the fortress, the god-temple city where the Snake-Person Queen lived.
His gaze swept across the city wall, discovering that there were many snake-person guards above. Among these snake-people, there were occasionally some snake-people with strange costumes mixed in.
However, no matter how vigilant these snake-people were, they still didn't discover Lin Dong, who had completely integrated into the darkness.
Lin Dong just floated toward the snake-person god-temple under the noses of a group of guards.
He borrowed the darkness and entered directly into the interior of the snake-person god-temple, the throne hall of Queen Medusa.
Just as he entered this hall, his gaze was attracted by the scene above.
I saw that on the throne, a figure was lying on her side, her right hand supporting her chin on the right armrest of the throne.
She was wearing a luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe, and the delicate body under the brocade robe was plump and exquisite, like a mature peach, permeating a faint charm.
Three thousand green silks were scattered from her fragrant shoulders, falling vertically between her slender willow waist. And under the brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was revealed.
The snake tail swayed slightly, releasing a wild and enchanting temptation, making one inexplicably feel a bit hot all over.
Lin Dong's gaze swept over the near-perfect delicate body, and finally stayed on that beautiful face.
Even though he had imagined the appearance of this woman in his mind, his heart trembled slightly at this moment.
Enchanting!
Under that touch of enchantment, there was a nobility and grace like a queen, charming and deadly.
Lin Dong looked at this stunning figure, chuckled and shook his head: "Queen Medusa..." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 169 =====
