Chapter 506: Wishing Stone 2
"Ancestor Xiao got an earth element spirit." Someone said, and several others gasped.
"He actually got a natural spirit..., what a treasure!" Another exclaimed.
Several metres away, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"It has changed." He muttered, and Zhen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
[He didn’t get an earth element spirit in the book?] He asked, and the double nodded before explaining.
[He got a water element spirit. As for the earth element spirit, he found it in a dangerous area in the immortal realm.]
Zhen Yuan was surprised when he heard this.
[There is only one spirit of each element.] He said and quickly continued.
[The earth element spirit, which should have been in the immortal realm, is now in the Tianxuan continent. Could the wishing stone be somehow connected to the immortal realm?] He wondered.
[Maybe.] Shen Xu said, feeling that the world was becoming more and more different.
After thinking about it, he shook his head and sighed.
[Contracting the earth element spirit is enough to help Xiao Weimin ascend.] He said, and Zhen Yuan hummed in agreement.
[He is the main protagonist after all. It’s only natural that he found an opportunity so easily.] He said. Still, a trace of unease flashed in the double’s eyes.
[Strictly speaking, Xiao Weimin is the immortal realm’s child of destiny. His luck and opportunities will only get better when he ascends to the immortal realm.] He said.
[It doesn’t matter. We just need to do our own thing.] Zhen Yuan said.
At this time, someone asked about Zhu Huang, and the couple stopped talking to listen.
"Ancestor Zhu didn’t try his luck." A female cultivator said, surprising the surrounding people.
"He didn’t? Had he already received a gift from the wishing stone?" Someone asked, and the female cultivator shook her head.
"I don’t know about this." She said and quickly continued.
"Ancestor Xiao and the people around him all tried their luck, but Ancestor Zhu didn’t go forward."
Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu exchanged a glance when they heard this.
[Ayuan, what do you think?] Shen Xu transmitted.
[I can think of two possibilities.] Zhen Yuan said and continued without waiting for the double to question him.
[First, he had already received a gift from the wishing stone and knew he couldn’t get another, so he didn’t try. Second, he didn’t dare to try.] The man said and narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.
[What do you mean?] Shen Xu asked.
[The wishing stone is an ancient artefact and seems to be woven in the very fabric of our plane. However, Zhu Huang’s system is a foreign object from another realm. It’s possible that he didn’t dare to touch the wishing stone for fear of exposing himself.] Zhen Yuan said, and the double fell silent.
[You may be right.] He said after carefully evaluating the situation.
[The system may have a way of hiding itself from the world’s way of heaven, but a direct provocation like touching the wishing stone would surely expose it.] He continued, and Zhen Yuan nodded.
[Xiaoxu, I have always felt that the system is not a simple thing. We need to be more careful of it in the future.] He said with a solemn expression.
[I know.] Shen Xu nodded.
After all, the system hadn’t appeared in the original novel, and Zhu Huang died at the Divine Rainbow Academy.
Considering that, neither Shen Xu nor Zhen Yuan dared to ignore Zhu Huang’s existence and the system’s motives.
After hearing about the gifts that Xiao Weimin’s group received, the crowd began discussing, but Yang Shi ignored them and walked to the stone.
Soon after, he touched the monument, and writing appeared on the surface.
"Wind source stone." Someone exclaimed, drawing everyone’s attention.
"It’s another peerless treasure." A male cultivator said with an envious face.
"Is that fellow Daoist a wind spiritual root cultivator? It’s rare to encounter one."
"Why do I feel that his aura is a bit icy? He should be an ice spiritual root cultivator." Someone argued.
"The wishing stone is inexplicable at times. It doesn’t always bestow suitable treasures." A female cultivator sighed, but Shen Xu was overjoyed.
It had been almost ten thousand years since Yang Shi had grown his second head, but unfortunately, they hadn’t found a treasure that could awaken the third head.
Thankfully, they came to the wishing stone and finally found a treasure that could awaken Yang Shi’s third head.
’The wind source stone is just right to awaken Yang Shi’s third head.’ He thought, and a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he felt a little regretful that they had gone to Eastern Blue Ocean before coming to the wishing stone.
If they had visited the stone first, they wouldn’t have wasted so much time looking for treasures that could help their group ascend.
[It was not a waste.] Zhen Yuan transmitted as if he understood the double’s unspoken words.
[Refining more treasures will result in a higher cultivation realm when we ascend to the immortal realm.] He said, and Shen Xu nodded.
[I know.] He said and walked towards the wishing stone.
’I wonder what I will get.’ He thought and hesitated before placing his hand on the wishing stone.
A moment later, writing appeared on the wishing stone, and a box fell into his palm.
At the same time, Shen Xu raised his eyes and looked at the writing.
"Fusang tree." He read, and his heart skipped a beat.
The Fusang tree was a wood element primordial treasure.
From what Shen Xu knew, the fusang tree was the living place of the ten golden crows that carried the sun across the sky.
However, the tree wasn’t just a living place but also a training ground.
From the inherited memories of his Chaos Flame Space, the double knew that the fusang tree contained a strand of the primordial golden crow’s fire.
Because of this, the tree was a blessed training place for not only fire root cultivators but also fires.
’With this tree, I will no longer need to find cultivation resources for Xiaomu and my other fires.’ Shen Xu thought and subconsciously smiled.
