Chapter 175: Chapter 174 Green Wood Longbow 2.0

The next morning, Mu Ying saw off the members of the Luoxia Team and returned to the plantation to water the oak seed.

While observing the state of the oak seed with the Eye of Nature, a white-bearded old man suddenly appeared beside him—it was Grandpa Shom.

"I feel that the oak is truly coming back to life this time," the elder murmured.

Mu Ying nodded, "The natural power in the pot also seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

"It’s been hundreds of years," the old man sighed deeply.

Mu Ying was curious, "If the seed germinates, will it give birth to the same goblin?"

"Yes, actually when a goblin dies, the mother tree does not wither overnight but gradually degenerates into an ordinary plant, and it will no longer give birth to goblins. Oak trees are special. They preserved a bit of their essence with the life force of the entire tree, making regeneration possible. This type of regeneration is hundreds of times more difficult than the birth of ordinary goblins and absolutely cannot survive on its own. It requires assistance as well as opportunity.

The goblin trapped within the seed is conscious, and the endless waiting is more painful than death, which is why so few goblins choose this path.

It’s because I had once told the oak tree that I would never abandon it, nor would I allow it to abandon me, that it chose this path, leaving me a glimmer of hope.

But that meant it had to wait for so many years..."

Perhaps seeing the hope for the oak tree’s rebirth, Grandpa Shom mentioned the Oak Tree Fairy more frequently than before, "At most one month from now, it should sprout, and then it will be my turn to put in effort. Over the years, I have already prepared enough resources for the fairy’s rebirth, but it got stuck at the hatching step. I never expected what was missing was a higher-grade mother tree as part of the process."

"Higher-grade?" This was the first time Mu Ying heard him mention this, "There are ranks among the mother trees of goblins?"

"Of course, only places especially favored by nature give birth to goblins, which could be rocks, water, sand, etc., but the most common is through plants.

Only among plants do we speak of mother trees giving birth to goblins.

A mother tree could be a flower, a blade of grass, or a tree. Most give birth to only one goblin, like my oak.

Some mother trees can give birth to several goblins, or even an entire goblin tribe—these are high-grade mother trees, like your Gem Tree.

Tao Hua and Bo He are just the beginning. As the tree grows, it will accumulate more natural power and give birth to more Gem Fairies. That’s why I said even I was envious before!

Such mother trees are extremely rare. I’ve only seen one many years ago, and it was already fully grown with an entire Goblin Kingdom on it.

I’ve never seen a sapling of a high-grade mother tree until now," Shom gave Mu Ying a glance, "The luck of the young, us old folks can’t compare."

"Heh heh," Mu Ying imagined owning an entire Gemstone Elf Kingdom to help manage the plantation, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Shom was openly jealous and, with a snort, took out several items and tossed them to Mu Ying, telling her to go and play instead of disturbing his private conversation with the oak tree.

Mu Ying clumsily caught them, "Are these my bow and sword?"

Shom nodded, "Inside these three boxes are Elemental Gems to be used on your bow. Although the consumption is small, they still need to be replaced over time. I have an Elemental Gem mine, so you can come to me for more when you run out."

Mu Ying excitedly hugged the items and moved aside to examine them.

The Longbow still looked like its previous self, with similar size, thickness, and even weight, but it now sported many dark patterns, with three sockets on the spine holding red, blue, and gold Elemental Gems.

The two swords, however, were completely different from before. Made of wood, they appeared even sharper than before.

[Green Wood Longbow]

[Quality: Purple Epic]

[Effect 1: Infinite Energy Arrows: Can condense energy arrows while drawing the bow, inexhaustibly.]

[Effect 2: Elemental Arrows: Can convert energy arrows into elemental arrows using Elemental Gems, currently includes Flame Arrows, Ice Arrows, and Gold Stone Arrows.]

[Effect 3: Critical Hit +100%, Penetration +100, Attack Speed +100]

[Jia Wood Long Sword]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

[Jia Wood Short Sword]

[Effect 2: Sharpness +50, Attack Speed +50]

Mu Ying was fond of the weapons’ attributes, especially the Green Wood Longbow.

Although the name hadn’t changed, its effects had improved by leaps and bounds.

She had previously felt that the Energy Arrows with neutral attributes were slightly weak in killing power, relying only on their Penetration Power to take down enemies.

Now, she could also transform the Energy Arrows into Elemental Arrows through Elemental Gems, providing her with three different elemental attributes.

Just one of the effects of the Elemental Arrows, the Flame Arrow, was equivalent to the effect of a Mage’s first-ring spell Flame Arrow.

Not to mention, there were also Ice Arrow and Gold Stone Arrow.

Although this transformation process consumed Elemental Gems, one gem was enough to last a very long time.

This was because it only acted as an energy converter; the energy of the arrows themselves was still provided by the Infinite Arrows from the Enchantment Book obtained earlier.

In those three small cases, there were twenty Elemental Gems each of Fire Attribute, Ice Attribute, and Gold Attribute.

Mu Ying marveled at Grandpa Shom’s wealth and extravagance—Elemental Gems were very precious energy gemstones, and he actually had a gemstone mine in his half-plane!

She resolved to have a gemstone mine in her own Plantation in the future too!

Besides, the attributes of Critical Hit, Penetration, and Attack Speed had also multiplied significantly.

Mu Ying drew the bow and tested an arrow, finding that even the original Energy Arrows had substantially increased in power.

Previously, she could only penetrate a tree thick enough for a hug one finger deep; now, she could shoot right through it.

She affectionately touched the Green Wood Longbow, then turned her attention to the two swords.

The blades had the grain of wood but shimmered with the luster of metal. Although they didn’t possess the magic of the Green Wood Longbow, the Blood Tears effect was also very formidable. Most importantly, Mu Ying found that she could cast the Oak Stick Technique on the sword, and it was successful.

This meant that in the future, she would not be limited to the agility attack route when wielding a sword; Strength was not to be underestimated.

She performed a flourish with the sword, and since the swords were made according to the specifications of the previous ones, she handled them very smoothly without any hindrance.

"Grandpa Shom, you’re amazing," Mu Ying was ecstatic and couldn’t help but give Grandpa Shom a big hug.

Grandpa Shom stroked his beard, greatly enjoying the little girl’s compliments, "Of course, haha!"

Afterward, nothing significant happened in the territory, and Mu Ying’s life settled into a routine, advancing her studies according to her plan, familiarizing herself with her newly acquired weapons, living a tranquil and carefree life.
