Chapter 356: Chapter 232: Level Eight Wood-element Soul Crystal

Translator: 549690339

Chu Mu nodded, decisively recalling Zhan Ye back to the Soul Pet Space and summoning the Ice-Feathered Spirit in front of him. He launched a series of Ice Element attacks on the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree while its combat power was greatly reduced.

Now, the combat power of the Ice-Feathered Spirit wasn’t much inferior to Mo Ye. Its Ice Crystals could effectively freeze the body of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree!

“Ice Chain Array!”

“Mo Ye, Nine-tailed Chain!”

Spells were chanted, and the ice chains of the Ice-Feathered Spirit firmly locked the body of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree.

Mo Ye’s eight tails transformed into incredibly strong fox tail chains, which trapped the arms of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, making it unable to move at all.

“Demon Tree, Piercing Branch!”

The arm of the Demon Tree Warrior shook, and the Piercing Branch was ruthlessly driven deep into the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s body!

Life Siphon!

With the Piercing Branch of the Demon Tree Warrior wriggling madly, it began to suck the life out of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree. The Ancient Blue Demonic Tree struggled vigorously but couldn’t break free from the control of Chu Mu’s Mo Ye and Ning. It could only roar with boundless anger.

The Wood Element energy itself is very pure, often hidden in the body for years. At this time, the huge Wood Element life energy was being poured into the Demon Tree Warrior’s body like flowing water. In this process, the Demon Tree Warrior’s body was undergoing obvious changes!

Ten seconds of uninterrupted siphoning!

The Demon Tree Warrior’s siphon lasted a whole ten seconds. When it retracted the Piercing Branch, the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree collapsed like a wooden mountain, its body becoming completely withered and devoid of any life…

The Demon Tree Warrior already had a higher level than the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, and once it had absorbed all the essence of its life, it clearly reaped great benefits.

“Did it grow again?” Chu Mu stared at the subtle changes in the Demon Tree Warrior’s body and said with some surprise.

The Demon Tree Warrior had grown continuously during this period, and each growth meant an increase in its attributes!

“Soul pets of the same race can merge their life energy, and this is the purest form. Your Demon Tree Warrior’s current level of strengthening is at most a Superior Commander. How can you not grow after absorbing such a massive life energy of a peak-level Commander from the Demon Tree Clan?” Fox Elder said.

Sixth Rank Ninth Stage, half a month ago, the Demon Tree Warrior had grown two ranks in the Bloodsucking Wood Demon Territory, reaching Level 6, Rank 8. Now it had improved again to Rank 9, and should return to the city to buy Spirit Items. Breaking through to Rank 7 would not be a problem!

Even its combat power could definitely be strengthened to match the Ice-Feathered Spirit. Even with the support of the Life Siphon skill, the Demon Tree Warrior was unbeatable.

“Oh Oh”

Having reached Level 6, Rank 9, the Demon Tree Warrior let out a roar of excitement.

For the Demon Tree Warrior, the increase in strength from this growth wasn’t that significant. The most important thing was that it had absorbed the purest life energy of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, raising its Wood Element attributes from Superior Commander to Peak Commander level.

Although it was a High-level War General Soul Pet, the combat power of the Demon Tree Warrior was now much more powerful than a High-level Commander!

“After one more strengthening, once it reaches Rank 7, there won’t be any problem fighting against Yu He’s Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon.” Chu Mu revealed a smile.

One couldn[‘t] imagine the strange expression on Yu He’s face when he saw the injured Demon Tree Warrior with its restored full combat power.

“Wuwuwu”

Seeing the Demon Tree Warrior being promoted to Level 6, Rank 9, Mo Ye began to mutter. According to the ranking by stage, Mo Ye had now become the third-lowest Soul Pet among Chu Mu’s pets…

Chu Mu stroked Little Mo Ye’s head and said with a smile, “Your talent is too strong, eating anything is useless, you can only grow through battles…”

The Demon Tree Warrior was originally at the Normal Commander level. From Normal Commander to Superior Commander, there was a huge space for improvement.

Attribute strengthening would promote growth, so the Demon Tree Warrior’s stage naturally improved rapidly.

As for Mo Ye, its own attributes had already been strengthened to Monarch level. Objects under the value of 10 million, when fed to Mo Ye, were equivalent to ordinary food.

Only Spirit Items worth more than 10 million could barely cause Mo Ye’s attributes to grow slightly. And that was only a slight growth, with little impact.

…

The three major attribute talents of Mo Ye were at Monarch Level, and when Chu Mu was strengthening her, he had to consider the proportion of these three major attribute talents, which made the spirit items that could strengthen Mo Ye very rare.

Even if there were, the three attributes, high-level spirit items, Chu Mu had simply thought before that it might cost millions. It was only after gradually coming into contact with those higher-level spirit items that he realized that to strengthen Mo Ye’s three major Monarch talents by another realm, the price of this spirit item might be as much as hundreds of millions of Gold Coins!

Similarly, the White Nightmare Demon was like this as well. It wasn’t that Chu Mu didn’t want to strengthen Mo Ye and the White Nightmare Demon, allowing their stages to quickly rise. The problem was that their talent was too high. A few million things thrown on them would probably only strengthen their attributes a little bit, and then barely grow to another rank. Chu Mu could not afford something that cost hundreds of millions of Gold Coins…

The situation of the Ghost Dome King was somewhat more optimistic. Although the ghost dome was at a low stage, and a few million spirit items couldn’t make its rock-type and ghost-lineage attributes strengthen much, it could still increase its rank by a few stages. As its stage increased, its strength would also increase.

In fact, Mo Ye saved Chu Mu a lot of money. If Mo Ye had always maintained the Moonlight Fox form, Chu Mu would have spent billions in order to strengthen the Servant Level Moonlight Fox into a Monarch Level combat force.

Stages can be improved through a soul pet’s own battles.

Talents can only be changed with spirit items.

And mutations are the most unique way of talent promotion.

Mo Ye’s most significant advantage is its ability to mutate. Mutations to higher-level soul pets not only change appearance, race, and skills but also make a massive leap in talents.

Among Chu Mu’s soul pets, Mo Ye had the least talent enhancements. This was due to its mutating bloodline allowing it to self-strengthen…

When Mo Ye mutated, its various abilities improved significantly, but its stage wouldn’t change, causing a drawback—Mo Ye was unable to grow through spirit items.

As a result, Mo Ye’s growth rate depended entirely on fighting, so it was common for her to slowly fall behind Chu Mu’s other soul pets since Mo Ye had such a high starting point.

“Ting Ting”

The sounds of the Lingyin Qie were like a wind chime, and as Chu Mu approached, its eyes became extremely timid and terrified.

To deal with soul pets that had no fighting spirit, capture was the easiest. Chu Mu recited the Soul Capturing Incantation, forcibly trying to subdue the Lingyin Qie with his Soul Lord’s soul sense.

The first time, the Lingyin Qie resisted with its will, but when Chu Mu recited the Soul Capturing Incantation for the second time, its spirit could no longer resist Chu Mu’s powerful soul sense and was captured into the Soul Capture Ring.

After placing some soul cores in the Soul Capture Ring, Chu Mu focused on the corpse of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree.

The outer layer of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree had been burned black. After Mo Ye’s claws tore it open, it turned into several sections. Mo Ye was adept at searching for treasures from corpses.

“Woo woo woo woo woo”

As soon as Mo Ye, in her Chu Lian state, entered the body of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, she let out excited calls, shaking her nine small tails and holding a translucent green object in her little mouth.

“Young Master, Young Master, a soul crystal! A soul crystal!” The Fox Elder’s eyes were sharp, and he quickly recognized the object. His short body jumped out directly, his eyes gleaming with gold light as he ran towards Mo Ye, trying to grab the soul crystal.

One of Mo Ye’s silver tails seemed to have been prepared for this, and as soon as the Fox Elder tried to grab it, Mo Ye swept him away with a graceful sweep of her tail…

Chu Mu was overjoyed as well, taking the soul crystal covered in some black wood chips from Mo Ye.

“Level 8 Wood-element Soul Crystal!” Chu Mu grinned. Just a moment ago, he was worried about how to make enough money for the Demon Tree Warrior’s strengthening. He didn’t expect that the Goddess of Fortune would come again and bring such a great gift to Chu Mu!

This Level 8 Wood-element Soul Crystal, born within the body of an Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, a peak-level commander, was definitely worth close to 20 million. Capturing a 5 million-value Lingyin Qie was already quite a joy for Chu Mu, and the addition of this 20 million made the half-month Chu Mu spent running through the forest worthwhile.

Chu Mu put the soul crystal into his space ring and continued searching for more valuable items in the body of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree. Soon, Mo Ye pulled out something that looked like a heart. This heart had a thick shell covering it. The flame from before hadn’t caused much damage, and there was still some paste from the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s body on it.

“The fruit of the 8th Level Ancient Blue Demonic Tree… the price is not low.” Fox Elder murmured in a low voice.

Regardless of the price, the fruit of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree was for healing the poisoning of Ye Wansheng. After all, the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree was scarce, and even some Boundary Cities might not be able to find its fruit.

“The siblings shouldn’t have arrived at Li City yet. There’s more than a month left. Let’s practice in this Yu Forest.” Chu Mu stroked Mo Ye, who was clingy when in her Chu Lian state, and spoke.

“Young Master, if you want to practice, just go further north. There, you’ll find a more primitive forest. Soul pets are everywhere there. Concentrating on battle for a month, your soul pets’ stages can also increase a lot. When you get to Li City, you can give that treacherous kid a good beating.” Fox Elder held a big map that covered his entire head, looking very knowledgeable.

After a brief rest, Chu Mu put the Ice-Feathered Spirit back and summoned Zhan Ye, who needed more training. He strode towards the more dense forest…
