Chapter 444: Chapter 215: Let’s Fight Somewhere Else (Part 2)
Su Jiameng saw these things, and her eyes brightened slightly. This was the sentence she needed! If her idea was feasible, she would indeed make a big profit this time. "I’ve encountered some minor troubles here. The energy of an entire vein of Ximolai Ore has become very active, and there is a risk of explosion at any time. Ximolai Ore contains massive energy, similar to the Spirit Stones of your plane..."
To be a Plane Merchant, one can’t be a fool. Su Jiameng had spoken to this point, and the other party mostly understood. In terms of the Cultivation Plane’s knowledge, it was akin to a Spirit Stone vein going berserk and about to explode, and Su Jiameng sought a solution.
"Do you have a solution?" An entire vein, if it truly exploded, might bury half of the Cultivation World!
"That’s what I wanted to ask. Do you have anything here that can absorb and store energy?" Even someone as wealthy as her couldn’t help but want to claim an entire vein of Ximolai Ore. It would be a shame to just let it be destroyed so easily.
"You... your idea is really wild, to think of such a solution." The other party quickly answered, "I don’t have what you’re talking about, but you can check the Plane Store. Although it’s a bit expensive, it has everything you need."
Following the Cultivation Plane merchant’s instructions, Su Jiameng searched the Plane Store for an item called the "Nascent Stone." Curiously, this Nascent Stone wasn’t a product of the Cultivation Plane but the Magic Plane!
One Nascent Stone required ten thousand Plane Points, causing Su Jiameng to feel a pang of pain. However, for the sake of her plan, she gritted her teeth and bought three.
Upon leaving the Plane Store, she glanced at the product’s description and finally understood why this little item was so expensive. In the Magic Plane, the Nascent Stone autonomously absorbs free elements from the air, then stores them carefully. When the owner needs to use it, it can be extracted, essentially functioning like a power bank. However, this "power bank" is extraordinary, claiming to "hold the elements of an entire plane."
The elements of the Magic Plane are equivalent to the energy in the interstellar plane, and the two are interchangeable! Even more precious, it has the function of calming berserk elements... In translation, this means it can calm the active energy in the Ximolai Ore!
After purchasing three Nascent Stones, Su Jiameng took advantage of her cloak’s cover to take them out of her spatial storage. She initially thought the Nascent Stones would be large, but upon holding one, she realized it was the size of a thumb-shaped diamond.
Standing up to pull out Xihe, Su Jiameng tossed two Nascent Stones to Gu Ningzhi and Gong Yulu. The two caught them, looking astonished.
"I can’t disclose the origin of these things; it concerns my own secrets... ahem, but they can indeed solve the current dilemma we’re facing." Su Jiameng coughed lightly into her fist and cleared her throat, "Now I would like to ask you to do something..."
"What is it?" Gong Yulu tightened her grip on the Nascent Stone, the cold touch bringing her to clarity.
"I hope you can take these two little things to the surface and awaken them according to my instructions." Su Jiameng saw Gong Yulu’s disagreeable look and instinctively explained, "This task is crucial to luring out the Mother Tree."
"And what about you?" Gong Yulu didn’t inquire about anything else, instead focusing on Su Jiameng’s subsequent actions. According to her understanding, Su Jiameng was someone who loved adventure more than stability, never knowing what it meant to "think thrice before acting" once she went mad.
"I’ll go find the Mother Tree and try to severely injure it... Don’t worry, I won’t linger in battle. I’ll strike and retreat." Su Jiameng’s plan was simple, having Gu Ningzhi and the others bring the Nascent Stones to the surface. At that time, the Nascent Stones’ absorption of the Ximolai Ore’s energy would surely draw the Mother Tree’s attention. She would then severely injure it, holding onto its hatred to lure it above ground!
The allure of energy combined with "hatred"—she didn’t believe she couldn’t draw out the Mother Tree. However, the only flaw in the plan was her uncertainty about how much impact the Nascent Stones could have in attracting the Mother Tree.
Yet time was of the essence. After giving simple instructions, Su Jiameng prepared to leave. "We didn’t go too deep before. You should be able to tell the way out, right? Otherwise, I can send you out..."
"No need; I remember the way." Gong Yulu’s cold voice refused, but the feeling in her eyes carried warmth, "Being bait alone, you must be careful and cautious. If you can’t fight back, escape is paramount. Anyway, this thing is already at the end of its rope..."
If not for its deterrent effect and the need to lure the Mother Tree to the surface, it wouldn’t be a big problem for the three of them to take down the Mother Tree here.
Watching Su Jiameng nodding and leaving, Gong Yulu hurried in the direction they came from. Gu Ningzhi couldn’t help but wonder if his intelligence had dropped; otherwise, why couldn’t he understand the communication and thinking between these two?
"Aren’t you worried about her?" Gu Ningzhi followed, muttering, "She’s dealing with that thing alone..."
"Trust her. She might need a bit of effort to kill the Mother Tree alone, but if she’s determined only to wound it and draw it out, that Mother Tree could never catch up with her." Compared to this matter, Gong Yulu was more concerned about the Nascent Stone in her hand.
When the two were about to exit the cave, she suddenly stopped, raising her hand to look at the dazzling Nascent Stone and then suddenly chuckled knowingly, "I think I understand her entire plan; so this is what she intended..."
Once again excluded from the channel, Gu Ningzhi was also helpless. Could these two say something he could understand?
Disregarding Gu Ningzhi or Gong Yulu, Su Jiameng directly accelerated to her maximum speed, her figure seeming to merge completely into the darkness. The closer she got, the more she seemed to hear a beating heart growing stronger by the moment! (To be continued.
