Aokigahara's Mysterious Tree Seeds (Second Update)

  Looking at the sea of people on the alchemy platform, Chu Xiao's face was filled with astonishment, never expecting it to be like this.

  "Brother, you're number one!"

  In the distance outside the crowd, Chu Yao waved her hand and shouted.

  Chu Xiao's gaze swept around and finally landed on the huge crystal screen, where his name was prominently displayed at the very top of the rankings.

  Wow!

  Chu Xiao let out a gentle breath, it seemed that today's efforts had not been in vain. Most importantly, he felt that his magical powers and even his spiritual will had made significant progress. Having taken two precious Gathering Spirit Pills in succession, the benefits were self-evident, and this time could be considered an extreme case of alchemy, which was able to stimulate the body's potential.

  The Dark Spirit Gathering Root Pill has finally been obtained as desired.

  "Little junior brother, you're too unexpected, a freak! I actually have a freak little junior brother. Compared to you, I'd better hide in the ground."

  Li Ao jumped onto the alchemy platform, patted Chu Xiao's shoulder and laughed heartily.

  He is generous in character, although he lost to his younger brother, but he didn't have any grudges, instead he was happy to have such a perverted and abnormal little brother.

  "Senior brother, it's just luck."

  Chu Xiao smiled slyly.

  "Little brother, if you're too humble, it's just hypocrisy." Li Ao rolled his eyes.

  At this moment, the chief judge Zhang Ziming looked at the ranking on the crystal screen and couldn't help but sigh. No one had expected that the last laugh would be from Chu Xiao, who was of the lowest rank. He coughed once and loudly announced: "Everyone, the alchemy competition has now ended, and the final scores have been determined. I hereby declare that the champion of this competition is the third-grade alchemy apprentice, Chu Xiao."

  Everyone's attention was drawn to the judge, and when he announced the results of the competition, there was a sense of absurdity that so many masters had been defeated by an apprentice.

  Those alchemists who participated in the competition all had a sense of shame, if this alchemy competition were to be made public, wouldn't they become laughing stocks?

  But looking at the vastly different numbers, some alchemists who were not quite willing to give up couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment. The results were right there, and with fair and strict judges making the decision, and many masters watching on site, how could they possibly fake it?

  It can be said that in this competition, they all became Chu Xiao's stepping stone.

  Finally, Chu Xiao got the jade box containing the Dark Spirit Gathering Root from Bi Changchun's hands, and many people looked on with envy and jealousy, for this was a top-grade elixir that could raise one's spiritual root by one or two points.

  Especially Cha Dao Ling, this Dark Spirit Gathering Root Dan should have been his treasure, but now Chu Xiao's black horse has appeared and taken away the Dark Spirit Gathering Root Dan, the depression in his heart can be imagined.

  Bi Changchun and many other masters gave Chu Xiao a big compliment after their conversation.

  Even many masters took the initiative to hand over their name tokens to Chu Xiao, this name token is a qualification that only famous talents have, representing identity and status, I don't know how many people want to get one from these masters, before in the main hall of Ziyun Palace, although Bi Changchun praised Chu Xiao, he didn't let these masters hand over their name tokens.

  Now, a Dan-making competition has made these masters re-recognize Chu Xiao and give him enough attention.

  Many of the alchemists who had just participated in the competition saw Chu Xiao being treated this way and were so envious that their eyes turned red.

  With several tens of thousands of dollars in his hands, Chu Xiao remained calm and composed, responding with ease.

  "Chu brother, if you can also have this level in spiritual plants, I think even my teacher would be moved."

  Lin He Ping walked over with a smile and said to Chu Xiao.

  His words were not ignored by anyone, and many people became even more envious. If they could get the attention of the village elder, it would be a great honor.

  Bi Changchun and Bi Nainai were both surprised, they knew that Chu Xiao had a natural talent for spiritual plants, which was absolutely not inferior to alchemy. If he could really get the attention of Tianyuan Elder, then Chu Xiao's future path would be even broader. As his teachers, they naturally hoped that their disciple could achieve more than they did.

  "In the upcoming Ling Plant competition, I will do my best."

  Chu Xiao was very humble.

  No one dares to underestimate Chu Xiao now, although it's extremely difficult for someone to have astonishing talent and strength in two fields. However, since Master Ling Zhi Lan Cui Hua can accept him as a disciple, he shouldn't be weak. Especially after the alchemy competition just now, who knows if he will make another stunning move?

  Many of the spirit mediums who were preparing for the competition became vigilant.

  Chu Xiao finally gathered with his family after breaking free from the encirclement of many masters.

  "Brother, you're really awesome. I love you to death."

  Chu Yao rushed up and kissed Chu Xiao's face fiercely.

  "Son, you've made your parents proud."

  Li Yuyuan laughed so hard she couldn't close her mouth.

  "And there's this uncle of mine." Second Uncle Li Kai Fang was also beaming with joy.

  Although Chu Jun didn't say anything, the smile on his face revealed his current mood.

  Looking at his happy family, Chu Xiao felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he thought that today's hard work was worth it.

  "Chu Xiao, in the next spiritual plant competition, you must work hard and win first prize again. I believe in you."

  It wasn't easy to get Chu Yao off him, but just as he did, Chu Xiao saw Bi Yunqing walking over with a smile.

  Chu Xiao said confidently: "Ling Zhi Kui Shou, I've got it figured out."

  At this time, the referee Zhang Ziming spoke again: "Everyone, the alchemy competition has now ended, and the next spiritual plant competition is about to begin. Everyone should go to the Spiritual Plant Garden first."

  Then all the guests left the alchemy room and went to the Spiritual Plant Garden.

  The spiritual plant garden of the Purple Cloud Palace is extremely large, compared to Grandma Bi's spiritual plant garden, it's like a small trick versus a big one. In the vast space, countless spiritual plant racks are placed, and countless spiritual medicine pots are arranged neatly, with many spiritual plant masters shuttling back and forth among them.

  At a glance, Chu Xiao saw at least tens of thousands of spiritual plant racks, and the number of spiritual medicines was in the tens of millions.

  The Ling Plant Garden of Ziyun Palace is indeed one of the largest spiritual medicine bases in Ziyun City.

  As soon as Chu Xiao entered, he sensed the dense spiritual energy in the void. This place should have been set up with a large-scale spirit gathering array. The spiritual herbs in those pots were growing extremely well, and there were many varieties.

  This Ling Plant Garden is also a venue for competitions.

  Everyone walked through the long corridor and entered the Spiritual Plant Pavilion in the Spiritual Plant Garden. The interior decoration was quite similar to that of the Alchemy Pavilion, but there were also special spiritual plant platforms hidden underground.

  The audience sat on the viewing platform, while the spiritual masters participating in the Spiritual Planting Competition also gathered at the competition venue.

  "This time, a total of 72 spiritual planters participated in the Spiritual Planting Competition. The Spiritual Planting Platform is now open."

  This time, the chief referee was not Judge Zhang Ziming, but another judge named Wei Xuan, who is also a eighth-grade spiritual plant master.

  Soon, a brilliant light rose up on the competition venue, and one by one, the spiritual plant platforms emerged.

  The next process is very similar to alchemy. First, the contestants enter the Lingzhi platform, then insert their profession cards, and the competition system automatically generates the competition projects.

  Before the ceremony of becoming a disciple, Chu Xiao had already been taken by Bi Nainai to the Ziyun City Lingzhi Branch for assessment and became a third-grade Lingzhi apprentice.

  Compared to the last alchemy competition, Chu Xiao's information appeared with the words "three-product apprentice" again, but it didn't cause too much shock. Of course, there was still some surprise, but now everyone is convinced that Chu Xiao is just pretending to be a pig eating a tiger, and this professional level simply can't represent his real strength.

  As the information of all participating spiritual planters appeared, the competition system's self-generated game mode also gradually emerged at the top of the crystal screen, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

  "Challenge Target: Aokigahara's Yurei Seeds."

  Competition rules: Within an hour, activate the seed and let the Qingmu Yao Teng grow to its maximum extent.
