Eternal Saint Doctor - C116

“Master, Master, what did you say?” His heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but avert his eyes. Shangguan Mu’s tone was also slightly faltering.

“Mu Er, since you’re unwilling to say it, I won’t force you. After all, this should be a secret that your Shangguan family doesn’t want to pass on to me.” I’m just an outsider, that’s all. ” Shaking his head and sighing, Qingyang also got up and prepared to return to his room. “If that’s the case, then you should have a good rest. Tomorrow, we will be leaving for Nanxiong County.”

Seeing that Qingyang was about to get up and return to his room with a faint look of desolation on his face, Shangguan Mu struggled for a moment before saying, “Master, sit down and wait for Mu Er to slowly tell you.”

He stopped, turned around and nodded with an indifferent look on his face. A smile emerged on the corner of his mouth while his back was facing Shangguan Mu.

In fact, Qingyang really wanted to know what this Ten Thousand Wood Heart was. Just by hearing its name, it was definitely not an ordinary object. Moreover, if it was an ordinary treasure, would it be worth the trouble of plotting against the Shangguan Family?

Since that mysterious power possessed power that far surpassed the Shangguan family’s martial power, and also designed to take away the heart of ten thousand trees, it meant that the heart of ten thousand trees could definitely not be forcibly seized, just like the Eastern Emperor Bell.

“Actually, it’s not that Mu Er isn’t willing to tell Master, it’s just that this matter concerns the Shangguan Clan, so …” Shangguan Mu also said apologetically. Qingyang could understand the meaning behind his words.

Even though he was Shangguan Mu’s master and Shangguan Family’s benefactor, the secret of his family would never tell him about it, unless he truly joined the Shangguan Family. Perhaps he would know that Shangguan Mu could tell him that he should consider his saving grace and the relationship between Master and disciple.

Seeing Shangguan Mu’s worried expression, Qingyang laid down a soundproofing seal and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’ve already set up a seal. No one in the Pinggu Mansion will be able to hear what you and I are saying in this house.”

“Mm. Actually, this Heart of Ten Thousand Wood is something that my Shangguan Family Head wears, and it’s also the clan foundation treasure of my Shangguan Family.” Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Mu also trusted Qingyang.

“A clan suppressing treasure?” Qing Yang frowned and said softly, he thought to himself, Shangguan Sheng’s cultivation level wasn’t that high, why didn’t the mysterious forces just take it from him? Could it be that the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood was also an ancient treasure? Did he really have some sort of intelligence?

“That’s right. As the name implies, the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood is made from the essence of all the trees and grasses in the world. It can be counted as the wood type of the origin energy of the world.” This seemingly simple explanation was enough to shock Qingyang to the core. How tyrannical was the source energy of Heaven and Earth?

It was just like how his Grand Sun Primordial Flame was actually the fire attribute of the origin energy of heaven and earth. Even if it was as domineering as Dongfang Ming’s Netherworld Cold Flame, it would still submit before his Grand Sun Primordial Flame. This was the tyrannical power of the Essence of Heaven and Earth.

The ten thousand types of powers in the world were all evolved from the five elements metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Beyond these five elements, there was only the destructive power of thunder and lightning that could be controlled.

Therefore, it could be said that in the end, all of the energy would belong to the branch of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

From this, it could be seen how tyrannical this Ten Thousand Wood Heart was. It was no wonder that the mysterious power had spent so much effort to obtain the Ten Thousand Wood Heart from the Shangguan Family.

“I believe that you, Master, also know how tyrannical the source energy of heaven and earth is. Otherwise, our Shangguan Family wouldn’t have become the number one medicine concocting family in Nan Rong.” Seeing the shock on Qingyang’s face, Shangguan Mu said with pride, “Daddy is only a young man, but he’s about to break through to the Spirit Refinement realm. The effect of the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood should be great.”

Indeed, even if one had extraordinary talent, it would take decades for them to reach the Spirit Refinement realm just by relying on their own understanding of the power of heaven and earth. On the other hand, Shangguan Dun was almost at the Spirit Refinement realm at only forty years of age.

Unlike the other five types of power, the power of Wood was not able to increase one’s comprehension of Wood through battle. Instead, it could only slowly improve one’s perception of Wood through refining pills and comprehending nature. Therefore, the power of Wood was extremely difficult to cultivate, so other than the pharmacists in the Nine Prefectures, there were very few people who practiced the power of Wood.

“As far as I know, the source energy of the five elements can also be considered an ancient treasure. This should have been obtained by your ancestors by chance.” Qingyang who had recovered from his shock couldn’t help but exclaim: “The Shangguan Family is indeed very lucky, this Heaven and Earth Source Energy is a treasure that can only be found by chance.”

“I’m not too sure about that.” Shaking his head, Shangguan Mu continued asking, “Master, how did you know that my Shangguan family possessed the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood?”

“From these people.” Qing Yang picked up the “secret” character on the table and lightly shook it twice. He replied, “According to what you said, the power of the heaven and earth origin is indeed attractive enough to make many powerhouses covet it. However, the head of the Pinggu Manor is a Spirit Refining powerhouse.

“Master, you mean these people are plotting against my Shangguan family?” Qingyang’s words also shocked Shangguan Mu. Then, he recalled the incident at Wild Ridge. “Humph, no wonder you want to capture me and my sister. So that’s how it is.”

Qingyang frowned as he looked at Shangguan Mu, who wore a frosty expression, but he did not say anything.

In addition to the fact that everyone needs to practice the power of the wood, there is also a need for Master to voluntarily cancel the blood contract in order for another person to possess the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood. Even if you kill the owner, you will not be able to make the Heart reclaim its owner. Seeing Qingyang’s puzzled face, Shangguan Mu immediately explained in a deep voice, “I’m afraid that the reason why Wild Ridge was attacked was because I wanted to exchange my sister and me for the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood.”

With these words, Qingyang immediately understood why such a tyrannical and mysterious force could only plot against the Shangguan Family and could not forcefully seize it. The Heart of Allwood and the cultivator could conclude a blood contract similar to that of a treasure, but only when the owner voluntarily rescinded the blood contract could the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood choose its new owner. Even if the owner were to be killed, the heart of Ten Thousand Wood would only become a piece of trash.

This was probably the reason why this mysterious power had plotted repeatedly against Shangguan Mu and Shangguan Jingxiang. They wanted to use Shangguan Mu and Shangguan Jingxiang’s life as a bargaining chip to get Shangguan Du to terminate the blood contract on his own.

Compared to Shangguan Li and other elders, if they wanted to commit suicide, they couldn’t stop them by destroying their own Jindan in time. As for Shangguan Mu and his brother who had yet to step into the Xiantian realm, even if they wanted to commit suicide, it would be impossible with the presence of an Upper Sky warrior.

“So that’s how it is. It would seem that we need to be more careful in the future. I wonder what other methods this mysterious power will use?” Now that everything was clear to them, Qingyang and Shangguan Mu would naturally become more cautious. “Write a letter first and inform Shangguan brother of the sequence of events. Only Lady Jingxiang has yet to enter the Xiantian realm.”

“I will immediately write a letter to Father, but has Master found any other information?” Nodding his head, Shangguan Mu also understood that the most dangerous person now was his sister, Shangguan Jingxiang.

“Fan Jing was a pawn planted by this power in your Shangguan family. I didn’t find anything else.” Shaking his head slightly, Qingyang walked to the window and gazed at the hazy night sky. He softly murmured, “Tomorrow, I’m afraid that this trip to the Southern Rong Country will be quite troublesome.”
