Chapter 40 Sophora japonica reward, Barren Mountain Ancestor

The ground beneath the fallen wood moved.

The soil that was originally loose began to become condensed and compact, and a small hole was opened where the locust and poplar trees were planted before.

A bud breaks out of the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then begins to spread and grow rapidly.

The expressions of Cao Zhengxiang and Song Yizhi changed, and then they looked at each other and each stretched out their hands to cover themselves with a breath.

All of them were shocked. No one thought that this wood could really change after being planted in the ground.

A powerful vitality spreads in the land. Shen Mu and others may not be able to see it. Just under the deep soil, countless soft roots begin to cover the entire Fengjiang City and continue to spread outward.

After passing through the city wall of the county seat and crossing the forest paths, it stopped spreading until it encompassed the barren mountain dozens of miles away where Li Tieniu often chopped firewood.

I don’t know how much time passed, but several people looked stunned.

The sapling-like locust poplar tree has grown into a tall and sturdy tree.

However, it is not an extremely huge towering tree, but its size is almost the same as that of the windbreak trees that have already formed around it.

It doesn't look very special from a distance. If you don't know it, you may not be able to tell that it is a unique Sophora japonica tree.

The feudal territory lacks nourishment. On the one hand, it is due to the geographical location, and on the other hand, it is also related to the thin luck and vitality.

Firstly, it lacks these blessings, and secondly, it does not have the magical blessings of mountains and rivers, so it must be a bit more desolate. From the perspective of other counties with relatively moist areas, Fengjiang is quite desolate, with a lot of wind and sand, no water system, and occasional droughts. famine.

However, few people noticed that just after this locust poplar tree grew, the land in Fengjiang began to change quietly.

An invisible vitality is nourishing the earth, and the weak vitality begins to revive. The surrounding vegetation and trees are quietly dense, and the colors are stronger and full of vitality.

Even the barren mountain dozens of miles away is beginning to show signs of spring.

Of course, breeding life is an extremely slow process, and the slightest change cannot be noticed by outsiders.

Only the sunken wood bound to Fengjiang City has the most real feeling.

At this time, information prompts and changes on the map appeared in his mind.

[Sophora poplar ancestral tree skill activates: dead wood springs back to life!]

[Map: Fengjiang City]

[Central Street: County government/restaurant/teahouse/baozi shop...]

[Shulinzi/Peach Blossom Spring/Little Lotus Pond...]

[West of the city: Longjing Lane (Longjing Lock)]

[South of the city: Qianggener (Sophora ancestral tree)]

[Chengdong: Street entrance (?)]

[North of the city: Fuye Lane (Wenjiang Ancestral Hall)]

【barren mountain…】

Every location that has been lit up, and some locations that have not been lit up, or have not even been visited yet, all begin to flicker with green light.

And underneath these places, Shen Mu could clearly see the intricate veins and lines, which were continuously transporting thin vitality and breath.

Some locations may have more dense veins, while others may have sparse veins.

Chen Mu was stunned.

If the map at this time could be made larger, it would definitely be quite spectacular.

[Tip: The successful planting of ancestral trees has enhanced the vitality of the territory]

[Reputation +500]

[Guidelines for opening the corresponding Qi palace of the body:]

[Five Elements: Wood Character Qi Mansion]

[Eight gates: Shengmen Qifu]

Reward completed.

Chen Mu stood there blankly, but his heart was filled with excitement.

He really didn't expect the reward this time. This so-called [Returning Sophora Sophora japonica] task was actually very simple, just dig a hole and bury some soil.

But the harvest was so rich. Not only did he earn back the reputation he paid before, but he also reminded himself of two important Qi acupoints.

The Five Elements Wood character is Qifu, and the Eight Gates' raw character is Qifu.

Both of these seem to be related to the characteristics of the ancestral tree of Sophora japonica. The five elements of Sophora japonica must be wood, and the rejuvenation of dead wood with spring represents vitality, so the second gate of the three gates is also loosened.

Until this moment, Shen Mu seemed to have thought of something, and then suddenly realized it!

No wonder the system always emphasizes that it is bound to the feudal territory and is closely related to itself, and it inexplicably opened three Qi Palaces just after entering the Zhulu Realm not long ago.

If his guess and analysis are good, it must be related to his lighting up some special locations in Fengjiang.

From this point of view, the boundaries of the feudal territory are indeed quite mysterious.

It seems that many places, even every household, may be treasures that he needs to open.

This is a bit interesting.

However, this is just a guess from Shen Mu. He has more important things to do at the moment.

"Okay, that's about it. A tree that can grow by itself is quite interesting. You guys go ahead and play. I'll go back first. Oh, by the way, remember to come over and water it if you have nothing to do."

After saying that, Chen Mu turned around and left.

Only a few adults and children were left standing there, looking confused.

"..."

"!?"

What did this man just say?

It’s just a tree that can grow by itself, which is quite fun...

I fucking believe you!

…

Regardless of what others were thinking at this time, Chen Mu rushed back to the government office alone.

Then I returned to the room, closed the door and started to retreat.

As for how those few people view this matter, Chen Mu actually doesn't care very much, just let them think what they want.

This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, and it cannot be explained. After all, this is his biggest secret.

Of course, in fact, Cao Zhengxiang, Song Yizhi and others had no suspicion at all.

After he left, several people analyzed it on the spot.

In the end, we came to the conclusion that the magistrate was so proud that he probably didn’t know what was going on, so he ran away to avoid embarrassment.

He swallowed five Nayuan Pills at once into his mouth.

Chen Mu only recently discovered that his practice was actually a waste of pills. Ten of the fifty Nayuan Pills Liu Changfeng gave him before had been used up in a few days.

There is no way, Fengjiang is not as good as those counties in Dali with good luck, let alone those mountain sects with strong vitality.

Under such harsh conditions, if you want to absorb enough vitality to open up and cultivate the Qi Palace, if you want to break through without the assistance of elixirs, it would be a fool's errand.

Not to mention anything else, without additional assistance, it would be a difficult task to keep the cauldron burning in the inner furnace Qi Mansion with Fengjiang's almost residual vitality.

The elixir enters the body and melts, the power of the medicine begins to take effect, and a powerful vitality begins to fill the whole body.

Chen Mu did not dare to be negligent, closed his eyes directly, and opened the furnace cauldron in the furnace Qi palace in his dantian.

At this time, the furnace cauldron is now larger than before, the three legs are thicker and more stable, and the flame intensity in the furnace cauldron has also increased accordingly.

The fallen wood guides the energy of Nayuan Dan into the furnace cauldron, and then pushes the flames of the furnace cauldron to the strongest level.

As for the other vitality that overflows in the body, it is allowed to stay in various Qi mansions or wander around.

After Chen Mu adjusted to the best condition, he started to open up new Qifu acupoints.

At present, he has opened six Qifu acupoints.

One of them is the inner furnace qi palace of the furnace tripod, the second is the open-door qi palace among the eight gates, and there is the golden qi palace of the five elements, plus three ordinary qi palaces that are opened as soon as you enter the Zhulu realm.

Now it seems to Chen Mu that those three should be gifts from home.

Just like today, I seem to have completed the construction of a very good home, and only then can I successfully open two more.

If you just explore and develop on your own without systematic help, you may not know that you will survive until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

After the Huaiyang Ancestral Tree was born and the system rewarded the two Qi Mansion, he could faintly feel its hidden position, and even felt a little loose.

It was precisely because of this sign of looseness that Chen Mu successfully found it accurately and decided to destroy the two Qi Mansion today.

At this time, the cauldron in the body had begun to burn with blazing fire. The fallen wood activated the cauldron and found the point of the Qi Palace along the loose spot.

Without saying a word, the flames of the cauldron suddenly rose, and the vitality of the other acupoints in the Qiafu began to flow crazily.

As if the furnace was stirred by strong winds, the flames seemed to overflow from the furnace and began to frantically temper and attack the portal of the Qi Palace.

I don't know how much time has passed.
