Luck?
What luck?
Before Han Ziyu could react, the old man was surprised.
He understood the old man.
Although the old man sometimes boasted and sounded unreliable, his standards were really high. Ordinary things could not enter his eyes.
Since it could surprise the old man and even say the word "lucky", it was obvious that there was really something good.
Thinking of this, Han Ziyu became excited.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Han Ziyu turned into a monkey and stood on a tree branch. He placed his hand on his eyebrow and looked around.
"Silly boy, where are you looking? It's right under your feet!”
The old man couldn't help but laugh.
Han Ziyu quickly reacted and looked at the tree he was standing on. The surface of the tree was pitch black, as if it had been burnt by a fire.
"Swoosh!"
Han Ziyu jumped lightly and landed on the ground. She looked at the tree that was as thick as a bowl.
The trunk of the entire tree was extremely straight, but its entire body seemed to be charred. It was pitch-black, but on the branches of the trunk, there was a little green. New sprouts were growing healthily.
Han Ziyu didn't look down on the burnt tree. Instead, she asked,""This tree seems to have been struck by lightning. Could it be the legendary thunderstruck wood?”
He had read many Xianxia novels and knew that there was such a scene.
It was rumored that peach trees that had been struck by lightning had the ability to protect them from ghosts and gods. They were good magic weapons for catching ghosts.
"Kid, you actually have some knowledge. You actually know about thunderstruck wood!”
The old man replied with some surprise.
Then, the old man explained," This tree is indeed a thunderstruck tree. In the cultivation world, heavenly lightning represents heavenly punishment. It is the judgment of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, it has great power against evil things!”
"But not every tree that is struck by lightning can be called a thunderstruck tree.”
The old man began his daily routine of teaching about cultivation, and Han Ziyu was all ears.
"There are two requirements to form a thunderstruck tree. One is to have a heavenly lightning bolt that contains spiritual energy, and the other is to have a tree that can withstand the heavenly lightning!”
" The conditions for the formation of Heavenly Thunder that contains Spiritual Qi are relatively harsh. Take your Lightning Palm for example. Although it is also called Thunder, it is absolutely incomparable to the Heavenly Thunder in nature. Regarding this point, when you reach the Golden Core realm in the future and experience the tribulation, you will naturally understand the difference.”
"As for the second point, it is the requirement for the tree itself.”
"The power contained in the heavenly lightning is extremely violent. Ordinary trees will die upon contact. Only trees with large roots and a continuous stream of spiritual energy can truly withstand the heavenly lightning.”
After that, the old man asked Han Ziyu,""Now, Han brat, do you understand what I mean when I say I'll try my luck?”
Han Ziyu didn't answer immediately. Instead, she looked around the Thunderstruck Tree for a while, from top to bottom, before finally looking at the roots of the Thunderstruck Tree.
Han Ziyu's eyes lit up as a thought flashed through her mind.
The little Thunderstruck Wood naturally wouldn't make the old man so tempted. There must be other deeper reasons!
Han Ziyu thought about it and asked,""So, although this thunderstruck wood is a good thing, more importantly, the reason why it can be formed!”
"You said before that if you want to withstand the heavenly lightning, ordinary trees can't do it. This tree is able to withstand the heavenly lightning because it has been continuously nurtured by the spiritual energy.”
Han Ziyu thought that she had found the root of the problem and said firmly,""Therefore, at the root of this tree, there must be something that can gather spiritual energy!”
"Haha!"
In his mind, the old man laughed loudly.
"As expected of someone personally chosen by this old man. His comprehension is really good!”
"That's right!" the old man said with a smile. The real good thing is at the root of this Thunderstruck Wood. In this period when the spiritual qi is still weak, it can actually gather a certain amount of spiritual qi. Before you can learn the spirit gathering array, this is a rare treasure!”
The Spirit Gathering Array was an array that every cultivator must master. As the name suggested, it was an array that gathered spiritual energy and accelerated cultivation.
However, if he wanted to truly set up an array, he needed to understand the meaning of the array. Before reaching the Golden Core realm, the old man once said that he would not teach him any knowledge related to refining weapons, alchemy, or setting up an array.
The specific reason, in the words of the old man, was: "Even if I teach you now, you won't be able to learn or use it. Why don't you just focus on cultivating first?”
Now, in the depths of Shennongjia's uninhabited forest, they had actually discovered a treasure that could gather spiritual energy. This was a pleasant surprise.
Thinking of this, Han Ziyu was ready to dig out the roots of the Thunderstruck Tree to see what was going on.
The old man didn't stop Han Ziyu and let her do as she pleased.
As he dug deeper, Han Ziyu realized that although the trunk and branches of the Thunderstruck Wood had been charred black by lightning, the roots were very healthy. The system was very large, roughly ten meters long and deep underground.
Han Ziyu didn't bring any tools, but he was a Peak First Stage cultivator with a strong body. His palms were like shovels, and he reached the bottom in no time.
"Clang!"
When it reached the deepest part, Han Ziyu's palm collided with an unknown object and a crisp sound was heard.
"Looks like I found it!"
Han Ziyu said to the old man in surprise.
"From here on, we have to be careful. The treasure might be very fragile!”the old man instructed.
Han Ziyu nodded, full of anticipation. At the same time, she carefully dug out the wet soil with her palms like an archaeological excavation. Finally, she picked up a palm-sized stone stained with mud with both hands.
Han Ziyu carefully wiped the dirt off the stone without the grandpa's reminder. Then, she poured some water from the water bottle she carried with her. After cleaning it, the stone was revealed to Han Ziyu.
Han Ziyu looked at the green crystal in her hand. It was glowing like jade, and it was round on the outside without any edges. It was like a goose egg, but it weighed like marble in her hand. It felt very hard.
"Looks like my guess was right. It's indeed jade essence crystal.”the old man suddenly said.
Han Ziyu waited for the old man to continue teaching him so that he could figure out what was going on with this crystal called " Jade Essence Crystal."
