Chapter 1076: Fusang Tree (Second update, requesting everything)

PS: The previous chapter has been revised. The protagonist had previously given three bottles of Rushou Spirit Essence to Ning Bizhen, but Ning Bizhen did not use them immediately. It has been changed so that the Eight-Armed Naga and the Red Dragon consume the Dragon-Elephant Origin Pill, and the Ancestral Golden Scale Beast (Lord 9th Rank) devours the three bottles of Rushou Spirit Essence. The revision is complete.

Under the effect of the Glazed Pure Water, the red sapling grew taller and taller. By the time this drop of Glazed Pure Water was consumed, the red sapling had grown from thirty centimeters to nearly two meters in height.

Judging from the situation, the effect of the Glazed Pure Water on the red sapling was not as good as that on the Tree of Life.

However, Li Zhangsheng was pleasantly surprised instead of alarmed. Since the effect of the Glazed Pure Water decreases as the grade of the spiritual plant increases, judging from the current situation, the grade of the red sapling might reach the stage of a Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Root.

From the results, one drop of Glazed Pure Water reduced the growth time by about one year.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng continued to drip the Glazed Pure Water for the red sapling to absorb.

With the assistance of the Glazed Pure Water, the red sapling grew rapidly, soon turning from a sapling into a small tree.

After absorbing all the Glazed Pure Water, the red sapling had turned into a large tree thirty meters tall and over two meters in diameter, shimmering with a lustrous red glow.

This spirit tree had a rather peculiar appearance; it actually had two main trunks, looking just like two large trees leaning against each other.

"The tree has two trunks growing from the same root, leaning and relying on each other, this... could this be the legendary Fusang Tree?"

The distinct characteristics of the red tree made Li Zhangsheng's heart skip a beat, and he became excited in an instant.

The Fusang Tree can fully be called the ceiling of Fire Element spiritual plants; it doesn't even need the "one of" qualifier.

Legend has it that the Fusang Tree is located on the great ocean in the east and was once the nest where the Three-Legged Golden Crow race resided.

Additionally, it is said that the Fusang Tree is a giant tree connecting the Heavenly Realm, the human world, and the Underworld.

As for whether the legend is true, that is hard to say.

Although it cannot compare to the World Tree, the Fusang Tree is definitely a member of the Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Roots.

Li Zhangsheng had not expected that the seed would actually be a seed of the Fusang Tree; this can definitely be called a huge profit.

"It seems I need to give Shi Da more compensation."

Shi Da was the one who presented the seed to Li Zhangsheng and was arranged by Li Zhangsheng to be the steward of the Hurricane Fortress palace.

Li Zhangsheng does not know if there is karma in this world; even the Hundred-Victory King does not know about this aspect, and perhaps only a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer would know.

To be on the safe side, Li Zhangsheng felt it was best not to owe too much karma.

"Then let's add Shi Da to the ranks of the King Candidates!"

Li Zhangsheng made his decision. Currently, Shi Da is still a Fourth-rank Demon Tamer; even with the fastest speed, it would take two or three years.

By the time that happens, Li Zhangsheng will likely have become a Double-Character King, and cultivating a king is truly not difficult.

"It's the turn of the Supreme Longevity Dew!"

Li Zhangsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and dripped a drop of Supreme Longevity Dew onto the trunk of the Fusang Tree.

The scene was similar to that of the Glazed Pure Water, but the Fusang Tree's reaction was clearly much more intense, allowing the Fusang Tree to gain more growth.

After Li Zhangsheng's conversion, the effect of the Supreme Longevity Dew was actually ten times that of the Glazed Pure Water.

This does not mean there is a tenfold gap between the two; it is mainly because the Fusang Tree's rank is too high, so the effect of the Glazed Pure Water is greatly discounted, while the Supreme Longevity Dew has a great advantage in this regard.

Li Zhangsheng continued to drip the Supreme Longevity Dew, and not long after, the three bottles of Supreme Longevity Dew were completely used up.

The results were naturally quite gratifying. The height of the Fusang Tree had exceeded two hundred meters, the main trunk was about one-tenth of the height, and the roots were deeply embedded into the Secret Realm, making the Secret Realm become increasingly stable.

Even so, the Fusang Tree had only initially reached the Growth Stage.

There is no help for it; the Fusang Tree is famous for being huge, and its height is presumably second only to the World Tree and the Jianmu. Li Zhangsheng estimates that a mature Fusang Tree might be ten thousand meters tall.

Two hundred meters compared to ten thousand meters is a significant difference, and the more it grows toward the saturation period, the more resources it consumes.

Li Zhangsheng calculated slightly and immediately felt his scalp tingle.

If calculated according to the natural growth cycle of the Fusang Tree, the unit would likely be measured in ten thousand years. Even if the environment in the Secret Realm can shorten the growth cycle, it would take at least several thousand years.

The time is a bit long, but as long as he becomes a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, he can wait until then.

However, even though the Fusang Tree has only just reached the Growth Stage, it can still take the stability of the Secret Realm to a higher level, and it has absorbed a large amount of Fire Element energy from the void; these aspects have already surpassed the Tree of Life.

Besides this, the Fusang Tree can significantly accelerate the growth speed of Fire Element spiritual roots within a certain range and shorten the cultivation time of Fire Element spiritual fruits. As for whether it will bear fruit, Li Zhangsheng is not clear, and besides, to make a spiritual plant cultivate fruit, it must at least reach the Mature Stage.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, for the Fusang Tree to reach the Mature Stage, it would likely require dozens of bottles of Supreme Longevity Dew, not to mention the saturation period.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and temporarily stopped dwelling on this problem. Unless he finds World Wonder-level spirit water, it will likely take a very long time to get the Fusang Tree to the Mature Stage.

Because the Fusang Tree absorbs a large amount of Fire Element energy, and due to the efficacy of the Fusang Tree, Li Zhangsheng had to prepare to transplant it near the Fire Radiance Stone Palace to keep the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree company.

He believes that with the Fusang Tree, the cycle of the Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit will also be significantly shortened, not to mention the other Fire Element spiritual plants.

The transplanting work was very simple. With just a thought, the Secret Realm began to tremble slightly, and the Fusang Tree suddenly disappeared from its original spot. When it reappeared, it had already taken root near the Fire Radiance Stone Palace.

The Fusang Tree suffered no damage. This was only because it was in the Secret Realm; if it were in the outside world, no matter how careful one was, damage would be inevitable, as just the complex and thick roots of the Fusang Tree would be difficult to handle.

After dealing with the Fusang Tree issue, the evolution of Ning Bizhen's three Demon Pets had already reached its final stages.

This time, Ning Bizhen rarely failed to trigger her good luck.

The Eight-Armed Naga's evolution failed, but the Red Dragon completed its evolution, becoming a secondary ancestral Red Dragon. Its quality did not change, remaining at the Epic quality.

On the other side, the Ancestral Golden Scale Beast had evolved to the next stage and was currently lying on the ground attempting to break through to the Demon King level.

Li Zhangsheng released his Mental Power. After "seeing" the light spot representing the Ancestral Golden Scale Beast, another hint of joy appeared on his face; the quality of the Ancestral Golden Scale Beast had sublimated, reaching Half-Step Epic Quality.

In this way, even if this breakthrough to the Demon King level fails, the success rate of the Ancestral Golden Scale Beast's breakthrough will not decrease. As long as there is sufficient time, it will definitely be able to break through to the Demon King level.
