Chapter 552: Thousand-Year Willow Wood

On the island in the center of the lake, the largest were the nine willow trees. The thin ones were one meter thick, and the thick ones were fully three meters thick. They were over a hundred meters high, far exceeding the limit of willow trees.

Su Fan did not make a move against them. Although the willow wood heart was a good thing and could improve cultivation, once removed, it was estimated that the willow wood would also suffer heavy damage.

In Su Fan's eyes, that was simply killing the goose to get the golden egg.

However, Su Fan also knew that once the Wudao was discovered in the future, those experts on Earth would inevitably be unable to resist making a move.

Of course, under Su Fan's divine sense scanning, there were other grass and wood hearts in the Wudao that were no weaker than this willow wood heart.

Those heaven and earth treasures, although good, and even the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs were stronger than the willow wood heart, in Su Fan's eyes, their value still could not compare to this willow wood.

Especially that willow wood that was comparable to ten thousand years. Of course, it was not to say that this willow wood exceeded ten thousand years.

But according to Su Fan's estimation, that thickest willow wood had definitely reached the level of a sixth-tier spirit root.

This spirit root, no matter what, Su Fan would not let go. It could be said that Su Fan would not give up on these nine willow trees.

As long as they were brought back to the Main World, the Su family's foundation would be improved to the extreme.

The role of these spirit roots was still very large, especially one role, which was that they could absorb heaven and earth spirit energy.

Spirit roots could all swallow and release spirit energy, which could improve the degree of spirit energy in the surroundings.

For example, in Zixu Shangren's cave dwelling, it was just a third-tier low-grade spirit vein, but the degree of spirit energy in the cave dwelling was no less than the spring of some third-tier mid-grade spirit veins.

This was the effect of that fire origin apricot, and it could even vaguely improve the spirit vein.

This was also why many sects would look for spirit roots, especially heaven and earth spirit roots. Besides bearing fruit, there was also this effect.

It was said that there was a sect in the Central Plains called the Taiyuan Sect, which had a sixth-tier high-grade spirit root that could absorb vital energy from outside the sky to nourish the earth vein.

Therefore, the spirit vein in the Taiyuan Sect's sect had reached the sixth-tier high-grade, and even the concentration of spirit energy in the spring had exceeded the limit of the sixth tier.

One could imagine how precious a sixth-tier spirit root was; it would probably cause a struggle among Primordial Spirit big shots.

Unfortunately, these humans on Earth had no vision and only knew how to kill the goose to get the golden egg. Of course, it was also because they did not care at all; after all, Earth's spirit energy was still quite abundant.

Su Fan landed from the air and landed not far from the willow wood.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Sure enough, these willow woods had some intelligence. Instantly, countless willow branches, about as thick as an arm, came to strangle Su Fan.

"Hmph!"

Su Fan snorted coldly, and a silver light appeared on his palm. In an instant, the silver light differentiated into thousands, rotating at high speed, as if forming a barrier of flowing light.

Swish swish swish!

All the incoming willow branches were cut off.

"Sword Shadow Branching Light! Flowing Splendor Ten Thousand!"

Su Fan was not without sword control techniques, but he rarely used them before, but that did not mean he did not know them.

Especially in the Great Qin world, after observing the sword intent of Ge Nie and the others, Su Fan also had a new understanding of the sword Dao. After fusing some sword control methods from the Main World, Su Fan also had his own sword control technique.

The power was quite extraordinary, looking just like the secret techniques of the Spirit Readers in the Swallowing Star World.

This was also the reason why Su Fan did not seek the secret techniques of Spirit Readers for the time being, because his sword control with divine sense and the use of artifacts in the cultivation world were actually very similar to the attacks of Spirit Readers.

They were even almost the same, with no difference.

One used mental power, which was actually divine sense; in the final analysis, they were all the use of divine soul power.

It was also similar to the Ghost Immortal Dao.

Swish swish swish!

Cutting off these incoming willow branches, Su Fan controlled the flying sword to kill those willow woods. He did not mean to kill these willow woods, but he also had to teach these willow woods a lesson.

Let them know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

These willow woods had indeed been born with intelligence, but their spiritual roots were not high. Giving them a profound lesson was also to prepare for refining them later.

Chi chi chi!

Su Fan's flying sword was blessed by magic power and instantly pierced through the main trunk of a willow wood. Suddenly, green blood flowed out.

"Hmm! This thing is also a top-tier spirit liquid."

In Su Fan's divine sense perception, that green spirit liquid was a top-tier spirit liquid, which could improve magic power and cultivation whether used for alchemy, artifact refining, or by cultivators.

"Sure enough, this willow wood is a treasure all over. These branches of the willow wood, if refined into artifacts, can reach the level of third-tier artifacts."

Su Fan looked at this willow wood, and his heart was even more joyful. He would definitely not let go of this thing, even if those Councilors came, he would not let go.

"However, with my current strength, it is no problem to confront one or two Planet-level first or second-tier experts, but it would be troublesome if there were more. Not to mention facing Hong and Lei Shen, I am probably not their opponent."

"Unless my physical body breaks through to the Planet level now, I would barely have the qualification to confront Lei Shen, but I am probably still not the opponent."

Su Fan had this self-knowledge. Although in this world, the status of Spirit Readers was above that of martial artists, Hong and Lei Shen were not ordinary martial artists. They had already realized domains at the Planet level.

This was a very terrifying existence that could improve their combat strength.

"However, with my current strength, if I fight for my life, I estimate that I can protect these nine willow trees. After all, there are other grass and wood hearts on the Wudao. Those Planet-level experts don't need to fight for their lives with me for other grass and wood hearts."

Su Fan thought about it. He was not greedy either, just wanting these nine willow trees.

Being stabbed by Su Fan, that willow wood suddenly became much more honest, especially seeing that Su Fan did not make a move anymore, it also stopped immediately, honestly not moving, and even Su Fan's divine sense perceived a feeling of fear in the other party's soul.

So Su Fan slowly released his divine soul power and released a soothing emotion.

In an instant, Su Fan's divine soul also perceived the depths of this willow wood's soul.

"Sure enough, there is some intelligence, but it is not high, about the same as a three-year-old child."

Su Fan released goodwill and continuously soothed it. Gradually, these nine willow trees also perceived Su Fan's goodwill and did not move around anymore.

Even when Su Fan came to the thickest willow wood, the former did not make a move against Su Fan, but instead stretched out countless branches to build a small house for Su Fan on its branches.

So Su Fan also started to practice in seclusion on this willow wood, operating the guiding technique, absorbing the vital energy between heaven and earth, accommodating the physical body, continuously tempering the physical body cells, and strengthening the physical body intensity.

Even when he was practicing, he drew the vital energy between heaven and earth, which also gave these willow woods a trace of benefits.

So these willow woods became even more at ease. ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
