Chapter 526: Chapter 294: Just Tell Me How Much You Want

The Spirit King Gu was originally intended for Yan Sisi by Chen Qing.

However, after the Spirit King learned of some of his circumstances, he hesitated—unsure whether to give this Spirit King Gu to Chen Dan for a contract.

According to Chen Qing’s speculation, the Spirit King Gu should be a production-type Gu.

Although he liked staying in one place, he had too many tasks to accomplish.

Whether it was the Water Country’s coup or Da Yan’s throne transition, he planned to intervene.

Better to leave it to Chen Dan, who, even if lacking practice talent, could still act as a conservator ruler.

Taking out the Soul Gathering Coffin from his sleeve, the Spirit King released the King of Qi and Ji Ru, examining them with interest but quickly turned his attention to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing introduced the Spirit King’s origin, to which Ji Ru remarked, “It was different from what we imagined, originally thinking there would be great danger entering here.”

“Now it seems much easier.”

The Spirit King halted the grand array, inviting the people to enter deeper into the underground palace.

Upon sensing that the grand array had indeed stopped, Chen Qing followed slowly.

Traveling through the ancient tunnel, Chen Qing and the others passed through the many ancient pavilions of the underground palace, following the tunnel to its end.

They could see dozens of pathways converging at this spot, where a lush green tree stood tall.

On the tree were thousands of fruits, and the peculiar thing was that these fruits had human forms.

All had green hair, appearing as girls and boys, old and young people.

The only commonality was that atop their heads was a pair of horns.

More like deer antlers rather than dragon horns.

Chen Qing glanced around, seeing nothing but densely packed spirit Gu!

Walking up to one of the fruits, Chen Qing reached out to touch it, confirming it had the texture of a fruit.

The Spirit King introduced, “This is one of my creations, called Wushan.”

Chen Qing looked at Wushan’s information:

[Spirit Grade Mountain Gu·Wushan]

Contract Conditions: Must be a living being born in Wushan and accepted by Wushan.

Quality: Harmonization First Transformation

Life Span: 325/800

Effect: Name and assimilate the mountain into a spiritual mountain.

Trait:

[Mountain Ghost]: He is the mountain.

[Mountain Permanence]: His life span far exceeds ordinary spirit Gu, and when his life span ends, Wushan will once again give birth to a spirit grade mountain Gu called Wushan.

[Manifestation]: Unlike other Gu, Mountain Ghost can manifest itself and possess its own will.

[Mountain Return Mountain]: He cannot be contracted as a Lifebound Gu.

Growth Requirements: Harvest Aura

Growth Progress: 0/100

Promotion Requirements: Cannot be promoted

Upon seeing these, Chen Qing realized there was no so-called Gathering Spirit Array; it was still just the Gu.

Chen Qing’s gaze landed on the Spirit King Tree, observing its information.

[King Grade Tree Gu·Spirit King] (Limit Twelve Floor)

Contract Requirement: Promised Land.

Quality: White Jade Eleventh Floor

Life Span: 6400/10000

Effect: Nurture spirit grade mountain Gu, river Gu, lake Gu, tree Gu, grass Gu.

Trait:

[King of Ten Thousand Spirits]: After acquiring sufficient ‘nourishment’ and growing, it can nurture more spirit Gu.

In the absence of ‘nourishment,’ it can sustain its existence by absorbing the spirit Gu it nurtures.

It can influence the preferences of spirit Gu.

[Rebirth]: When the Spirit King Tree’s life span reaches its end, a spirit Gu nurtured by it will become the new Spirit King Tree.

[Free Growth]: Possessing its own will, no living being can contract it, only nations, religions, or powers can form a pact.

When the power it has a pact with is destroyed, the Spirit King Tree will perish.

[All Things Grow]: In the Spirit King Tree’s promised land, the growth speed of all things accelerates.

[Harvest Aura]: In the Spirit King Tree’s promised land, all plants receive the enhancement of Harvest Aura.

Growth Requirements: Free Growth for a thousand years.

Growth Progress: 95/100

Promotion Requirements: Twelfth Floor, an as-yet-unseen King Gu, an as-yet-unseen King Gu, Seven Treasures Miao Tree, Soil, Iron Cloud.

After reading these, Chen Qing understood that the Spirit King Tree’s existence should be similar to the Spring and Autumn Cicada, unable to be specifically contracted by a living being.

It resides within the fortune of a nation or sect.

“Actually, I’m more curious about what kind of ‘nourishment’ you require.”

The Spirit King was not surprised that Chen Qing knew these things, believing it normal for him to understand her circumstances.

“The breath of new life.”

“I enjoy witnessing new life appearing.”

“Great being, I anticipate you granting me a land of blessings, a promised land.”

Chen Qing nodded in agreement, “I understand why you’re so eager to leave.”

Looking up, he saw thousands of fruits had already withered on the great Spirit King Tree.

Having lost the ‘nourishment’ she needed, she had to use her offspring to maintain her existence.

The Spirit King Tree followed Chen Qing’s gaze, “Please do not worry. Once I begin to recover, they will once again descend into the world.”

“I shall grant them the power of rebirth.”

Curious, Chen Qing asked, “I’m concerned, what happens if all these fruits wither?”

The Spirit King did not hide anything, “Then, if you arrive here, what you will find is a seed, not me.”

Chen Qing felt somewhat satisfied, for although it couldn’t be contracted to Chen Dan, its effect was more powerful than he had imagined.

“Come with me, I will grant you a promised land.”

The Spirit King nodded in delight, “That would be excellent.”

While exploring the underground palace with the Spirit King, Chen Qing did not discover any tomes; most books had completely weathered away.
