Chapter 123: Demon Plants Forest 2

"Brother Yuan, are you okay?" He anxiously asked.

"Don’t worry. I am fine." Zhen Yuan reassured while using his spiritual sense to examine his body.

When the plant entered his body, it directly entered his dantian and settled at the centre.

"How?" Shen Xu asked.

"Do you remember how I described my dantian?"

"I remember." Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"There are one hundred and eight silver pillars and nine golden pillars in your dantian. The silver pillars form an outer circler while golden pillars are an inner circle. Your drop of qi is at the centre. What does this have to do with that stick tree?"

"That tree has settled in my drop of qi." Zhen Yuan said.

"This..., brother Yuan, are you sure it’s okay?"

"That tree is familiar."

"Familiar? How so?"

"I seem to have seen it when I fell into a deep sleep. It looked more majestic in my epiphany but I am sure it’s the one."

When he heard this, Shen Xu frowned.

"Do you feel sleepy?" He asked, anxiously clutching Zhen Yuan’s arm.

"Don’t worry." Zhen Yuan smiled.

"I will be able to advance to an equivalent of the nascent soul realm when I refine that tree."

"Really?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited.

"Really."

"Brother Yuan, why don’t you go into seclusion? I..." Shen Xu started but Zhen Yuan shook his head in refusal.

"First, this secret realm is dangerous. I don’t want you to be alone."

"But..."

"Second, it will take more than ten years to partially refine that tree."

"Partially? What do you mean?"

"I don’t know how to explain this but I feel I can’t truly refine the tree. At least not with my current cultivation."

"Then..., can you still advance to the nascent soul realm?"

"I will be able to advance if I refine one point of the tree." Zhen Yuan smiled but Shen Xu trembled in shock.

"Just one point? What kind of tree is it?"

"I don’t know what kind of tree it is. Maybe I will find out when I refine it." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing Shen Xu’s hair.

"One point is enough." He continued.

"Brother Yuan, you must never tell anyone about that tree." Shen Xu warned, trying to stave a headache.

’What kind of a person did I marry?’ He wondered but soon sighed.

No matter how complicated Zhen Yuan was, Shen Xu didn’t regret becoming his Taoist companion.

Even if their future was fraught with hardships, Shen Xu wouldn’t regret.

After all, Zhen Yuan was his choice and the person he loved.

"Brother Yuan, don’t worry. I will accompany you for an eternity." The double muttered.

"Thank you for willing to accompany me." Zhen Yuan said, pulling the person into his arms.

The more he advanced, the more Zhen Yuan realised he wasn’t ordinary.

Fortunately, he had Shen Xu.

No matter how long his path was, Shen Xu would be with him.

"Thank you for coming to the cultivation world."

"Brother Yuan, this matter has always lingered at the back of my mind..."

"Your transmigration?"

"Mmmm." Shen Xu nodded and continued.

"This kind of thing can’t happen for no reason. Someone or something should have worked hard to create this outcome."

"What do you want to do about it?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"I don’t know their reason but so far, my life has been good. I met you, got an extraordinary space, and even have unimaginable talent."

"Brother Yuan, as long as you are by my side, my transmigration will always be a blessing regardless of what happens in the future."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan smiled and tightened his arms around the double.

"I understand." He said.

"You do?"

"When there is an opportunity in the future, we will thank the responsible person."

"Good." Shen Xu smiled and pulled away from Zhen Yuan.

"Shall we go?" He asked.

"Xiaoxu, you are mistaken about something." Zhen Yuan suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"You once told me there is only one major opportunity in this demon plants forest." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

"In the book, there was only one major opportunity. It was a wood spirit which formed a contract with Xiao Weimin." The double explained.

"I don’t know if things have changed or if the matter was unexplored in the original book but there is more than one major opportunity in this secret realm."

"What?" Shen Xu excitedly asked.

"How do you know?"

"Some natural treasures are so precious that their laws form a pillar in the sky. I can see three pillars."

"Three opportunities?"

"Mmm." Zhen Yuan nodded.

"If I was to rank the three opportunities, two are tied for first place."

"Brother Yuan, can you tell what the opportunities are?" Shen Xu asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"From here, I can only guess."

"What is you guess?"

"One opportunity has many wood laws, another has many fire laws, and the last has many life laws."

"So different?" Shen Xu asked.

"Mmmh."

"Where..." Shen Xu started but Zhen Yuan didn’t let him finish.

"Xiaoxu, I want to point you towards the opportunities. However, I won’t. At least not now."

"Why not?"

"Fate." Zhen Yuan answered and began explaining.

"The opportunities are good but forcing fate can only harm you. For now, I hope you can choose a direction according to your own feelings."

Hearing this, Shen Xu was a little frustrated but he understood.

"Okay. Give me a moment."

After that, Shen Xu closed his eyes and allowed his natural instincts to manifest.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked to the south.

"Brother Yuan, I want to go South." He said.

When he heard this, Zhen Yuan secretly sighed in relief.

’Fortunately.’ He thought.

From the law pillars, the natural resource with the fire laws was in the south.

Most importantly, it was closest to their current location.

Based on that, Zhen Yuan was relatively certain his wife had a good fate with the natural resource.

Unfortunately, his law comprehension wasn’t enough to determine what kind of fire treasure was waiting for them.
