Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3063: Chapter 88: You’re a Tree! What Do You Need So Much Money For? (2)

After finishing Wang Ming’s matter.

Wang Shouzhe then thanked the two Taoist Masters, Tian Yan and Tai Chu, with a cupped fist salute, ”Shouzhe thanks the two elders for their righteous assistance, a small token of gratitude cannot express my full appreciation.”

As he spoke, he took out the 40 Chaos Spirit Stones he had just acquired and divided them into two portions, giving one to each Taoist Master.

”Shouzhe, there’s no need for this, right? We’re all on the same side, no need for such formalities.” Taoist Master Taichu seemed to care about maintaining his dignity and hesitated to decline.

Although the Chaos Spirit Stone was tempting, if he accepted it so straightforwardly, he felt like he had truly become his lackey or thug.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Tian Yan, who had just shown a smile and intended to receive it, froze in place, feeling somewhat awkward as he withdrew his hand.

”That’s not how it should be said. Without the assistance of the two elders this time, Wang Ming would probably not sit down peacefully to talk ideals with me.” Wang Shouzhe advised with a smile, ”Thanks to the successful plan, the two elders have performed meritorious service. If you don’t even accept this small amount of Chaos Spirit Stone, it truly makes Shouzhe feel uneasy.”

As he spoke, he winked at Taoist Master Taichu, implying that while you can act high and mighty, you shouldn’t make it difficult for the Tian Yan Dao Sect, right?

”Well, since Shouzhe is a wealthy man, a mere 40 Chaos Spirit Stones won’t hurt him,” Taoist Master Taichu thought for a moment and finally accepted it.

Thus, Taoist Master Tian Yan sighed in relief and accepted it justifiably.

Meanwhile.

Wang Mei, along with those two Great Luo Golden Immortal Elders, finally collected all the scattered branches and leaves of the Tai Yin Ming Soul Tree.

From a distance, it didn’t seem like much, but on closer inspection, there were indeed a lot of them. The branches alone were piled high, looking like a small mountain.

And those leaves were considerately plucked by Wang Mei and the two Golden Immortal Elders, bundled into large packages, also forming a massive pile.

Wang Shouzhe wasn’t stingy, and he casually divided these ”treasures,” giving each Taoist Master a large package of leaves to take back to brew tea.

Everyone is familiar with the tea brewed using the leaves of the Tai Yin Ming Soul Tree.

This tea is called [Dark Moon Soul Divine Tea], and is greatly beneficial for enhancing Divine Soul and its resistance. However, it also contains a strong Yin Cold Mingsha Qi, excessive consumption may lead to Yin Cold Mingsha Qi entering the body, thus the weak, injured, or insufficient in power should not drink too much.

Wang Ming occasionally sells some naturally fallen leaves, so this tea is considered a highly sought-after luxury in the Southern Blaze Divine Continent, even Taoist Master Taichu, far away in the Eastern Dawn God Continent, has heard of it.

And those two Great Luo Golden Immortal Elders also each got a small package of leaves and a piece of branch, making them incredulous yet grinning widely.

They didn’t expect that just standing by, virtually doing nothing, would actually bring them so many benefits.

To know, the Tai Yin Ming Spirit Tree is the only Level Seventeen Divine Tree overtly found across the Four Great Divine Continents. Even a single branch is a rare treasure; larger materials can be used to make small furniture or Ming Soul Wooden Sword for the juniors.

Smaller materials can be crafted into small ornaments, even smaller ones can be made into beads, and even the wood shavings can be used to make Ming Soul incense material, which can be burned during cultivation to aid in enhancing Divine Soul Power.

Such exotic treasures are valuable not in their worth, but in that even with money they can’t be bought.

As it stands, most of the furniture and ornaments made from Level Seventeen Divine Tree materials today are likely handed down from the Immortal Alliance era.

Wang Ming watched Wang Shouzhe ”divide the spoils” openly, feeling somewhat awkward.

Whether it’s the Chaos Spirit Stone or those branches and leaves, they belong to her! He divided them right in front of her, without any concealment!

This newly recognized master, would he one day lack money and just sell her off after stripping her?

”Sigh~~ Wang Ming, this is the sorrow of Heaven and Earth Treasures without an owner.” Wang Shouzhe suddenly sighed, as if he could guess her thoughts, ”Because they are too valuable, they lead to countless predators coveting them secretly.”

Wang Ming secretly rolled her eyes.

Master, aren’t you the biggest predator here?

”Speaking of Divine Trees, the junior has heard a rumor, saying that during the Immortal Alliance era, there were once four Divine Wood heritages.” Wang Shouzhe turned to smile and asked the Taoist Masters Tian Yan and Tai Chu, ”Why is that none of them have been passed down?”

As plants, the lifespan of Divine Trees should be much tougher than Taoist Masters, and much longer, plus they are inherently powerful Heaven and Earth Treasures. If their heritage hadn’t been broken, the overall strength of the Sacred Domain might be different today.

This has been perplexing Wang Shouzhe for a long time.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Alliance era is way too distant from now, and related texts and information are severely lost. Over the years, Wang Shouzhe has been paying attention to collecting related information but hasn’t gathered much, mixed with a large number of false rumors, making its credibility questionable.

To obtain relatively true information, he can only ask these long-standing major powers and sects’ Taoist Masters.

”It’s all because of the Crystal Ancient Tribe,” Tai Yan Taoist Master couldn’t help but sigh when bringing up this matter, ”The attributes of the four Divine Woods are unique, each possessing formidable abilities. When the Crystal Ancient Tribe attacked back then, they immediately targeted those Divine Trees intentionally when making their move, and reportedly it was a personal action by the Crystal Ancient Tribe Leader. During the subsequent retreat, it was overwhelming yet chaotic, sigh~~~ so many years have passed, and I don’t know what the situation of the four Divine Wood heritages is now.”
