Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Divine Bamboo
Xiao Yi then collected the eight petal immortal orchid saplings, nine treasure purple zoysia saplings, daffodil jade flesh bone saplings, and cockscomb phoenix sunflower saplings in his eighth storage pouch, as these herbs don't conflict with each other. Also, all these four herbs were given to Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun by Tang San.
'Finally, this snow swan kiss is the last herb I want to collect. It's a very dangerous herb, and I have to be careful, although I will absorb it as my sixth soul ring.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and stopped in front of the snow swan kiss herb, also looking at the few saplings at a distance around it with similar features.
The Snow Swan Kiss was a snow-white, immortal herb that was a sparkling and translucent snow white, each leaf seemingly dripping with water, slender and curving, it seemed like the neck of a swan.
The characteristic this immortal herb possessed was actually stimulation.
Let alone eating it, just a touch of it would cause any virus at the point of contact to multiply a hundred thousandfold. Under a great many circumstances, this so-called 'Snow Swan Kiss' would be even more dreadful than any poison.
"The might of this immortal herb really was too terrifying, to the extent that not even Tang San dared use it to refine poison. Because if Tang San was infected with just a drop of its aura in the refining process, he would also certainly die. Even when holding it with Mysterious Jade Hand, Tang San seemed to be trembling with fear."
Xiao Yi muttered intriguingly, looking at the saplings, and then, without touching them, he dug a large chunk of land along with herb saplings and put them inside his storage space.
"I didn't touch the mature plants, which means the plot won't change; also, it will alert the Dogu Bo, but he wouldn't care about some sapling disappearance."
Xiao Yi muttered after looking at the garden around him, and then he put all the nine pouches containing herbs inside the last tenth pouch and bound it to his waist; then he turned around and walked toward the seven-colored miasma.
'Next, I will find a remote area on the opposite side of this garden and absorb the fifth and sixth soul rings.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, covering his whole body with his martial spirit just like before, and then with a jump, he swiftly moved through the miasma and left the garden area without stopping.
After running and jumping through the forest, while avoiding the dangerous beasts of ten thousand years and more, he finally appeared and stopped beside a cave on the completely opposite side of the medicine garden.
'This cave is perfect for soul ring absorption; it can shield away the smell as the medicine's aroma attracts the soul beast.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then walked inside the empty small cave and sat cross-legged; then he brought out one of the black jade divine jade bamboo herb saplings from the storage space and activated his unlimited evolution talent without wasting any time.
Instantly a lot of options appeared in front of him and then filtered by Xiao Yi into three options only,
[Direction 10000045: 30,000 years of black jade divine bamboo, increase the firmness and flexibility of martial spirit.]
[Direction 3456775787: 30,000 years of black jade divine grass, increase the sharpness and firmness of martial spirit.]
[Direction 689999995674: 30,000 years of black jade divine vine, increase flexibility and sharpness of the martial spirit.]
Xiao Yi glanced in the other direction beside the bamboo and then glanced at the first bracket, seeing the original effect direction of the bamboo.
"The original effect is best for the control department, as I will absorb the fifth soul ring according to such department."
Xiao Yi muttered and then chose the 10000045 direction. Instantly a dark light flashed above the divine bamboo sapling, and its size started enlarging.
Instantly the cave shook, and bamboo tops pierced through the roof and ejected out from the cave above; a thick and long dark bamboo was revealed with unimaginable suppression around it.
After a while the cave trembling stopped, and the jade bamboo size shrank back to three-foot size and fell into Xiao Yi's palm.
'The beast and species evolved with my talent, becoming my servant and staying under my control completely.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, and then, under his command, the consciousness of the jade bamboo disappeared, and a huge black ring condensed around it.
He then summoned his martial spirit and attracted the soul ring toward it; instantly a large amount of energy spread through his arm and then scattered through his physique, and then it divided into three parts, incorporated in his spiritual essence, soul power, and physical power.
Fifty-Eighth Level, Spirit King,
Fifty Ninth Level, Spirit King,
Sixtieth Level, Spirit Emperor.
After a while,
A popping sound spread through the cave, and Xiao Yi's body shook as he opened his eyes; a dark luster flashed through his pupils.
Another fifth soul ring appeared around his fourth soul ring, along with the information about the fifth soul skill that appeared in his mind.
Xiao Yi glanced at the changes in his white vine king martial spirit; the lower and middle area of the vine became black, with the top remaining white, and the structure of the leaves layer above his vine became more firm, and the whole vine looked more soft and flexible, yet extremely tough, like hard bamboos.
"Its toughness increased by a large margin; now I can even pierce the thick iron plate with my martial spirit."
Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully and then walked outside the cave, raised his martial spirit, and activated his fifth skill.
Black cage!!!
Instantly the ground in front shook, and large and robust, multiple black vines pierced out from the ground in the shape of tall bamboo forests, and then these vines started rotating around each other from the top, enclosing everything in the middle like a large prison.
