"I truly hadn't expected that this planet, despite its unremarkable appearance, was abundant with Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal veins."
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but marvel.
After that, Ye Yunfei summoned Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the old man in gray, and the Ice Demon, having them all excavate the crystal stone veins together.
With the strength of Ye Yunfei and his companions, digging up these crystal veins was naturally a very simple task.
One day later, almost all the crystal veins on this planet had been excavated.
They had harvested several hundred million pieces of Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal Stones!
Following that, led by the little girl, Ye Yunfei embarked on a treasure-seeking journey throughout the Canghuang Realm.
The harvest along the way was exceedingly rich.
As the will born from the essence of this world, the little girl was far too familiar with the Canghuang Realm; she seemed to know every nook and cranny, what was where!
"Master, hunting for treasure with the World Origin... this feeling is simply incredible!"
Hu Miao said to Ye Yunfei, her face flushed with excitement.
"Of course.
Theoretically, everything within this world belongs to the World Origin. For her, it's like plucking flowers and plants in her own garden. That feeling is naturally very comfortable,"
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"This Small World has so many Transformation Grade herbs, and there are even seventh-grade, eighth-grade, and ninth-grade Transformation Grade herbs!"
As the little girl led everyone into a Small World, Hu Miao's eyes immediately shone, and she exclaimed excitedly.
Although this Small World was small in scale, it was filled everywhere with a dense abundance of precious herbs!
"There are many herbs imbued with Wood-attributed energy!"
Ye Yunfei noticed that among the herbs in this Small World, those containing Wood-attributed energy accounted for nearly half.
"It turns out this Small World contains potent Wood Laws, hence all plant life grows with immense vigor, and it has given birth to a vast number of Wood-attributed herbs."
After moving about within this Small World for a while, Ye Yunfei understood the situation.
"I used to come here often to pick fruit to eat.
Come on, Uncle, I'll take you to pick some fruit. There's a tree here whose fruit is incredibly delicious!"
The little girl said with great enthusiasm, taking the lead deeper into the Small World.
As the Canghuang Origin, a single casual step she took covered dozens or even hundreds of miles, teleporting as if shrinking the earth.
"Let's go!"
Ye Yunfei perked up, waving a hand as he led the others to follow the girl.
If even the Canghuang Origin found its fruit delicious, it was certainly extraordinary!
A moment later, the little girl brought everyone to the depths of the Small World.
A towering, deep green tree appeared before everyone's eyes, laden with golden fruit that seemed cast from pure gold. From a distance, specks of golden light sparkled brilliantly amidst the emerald-green leaves.
"This is a Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree!"
Ye Yunfei was overjoyed.
The Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree was an extremely rare treasure tree, possessing astonishing life energy. It was said to be capable of regrowing bone from flesh and returning the dead to life!
Some martial artists who cultivated Wood-attributed techniques would refine a Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree into their bodies, merging it as one with their own flesh. From then on, they would possess an immortal body. Even if hacked to pieces, they could recover instantly.
It was a precious and uncommon Wood-attributed treasure tree!
He hadn't expected to find one here.
"Eating these fruits makes one feel very refreshed. Uncle, all of you, come try some quickly!"
The little girl's figure flashed, and she was already standing beside the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree, plucking a golden fruit and beginning to eat.
"Everyone, go over and have a taste. These fruits are very beneficial for the body,"
Ye Yunfei said.
Thus, everyone swarmed forward, started picking the golden fruits, and tasted them.
"What incredibly rich life energy!"
Hu Miao exclaimed in wonder after just one bite.
"Indeed. This fruit is called Heavenly Treasure Sacred Fruit. It contains dense life energy, can increase lifespan, and if the body is injured, consuming one can bring immediate recovery. It's hailed as capable of regenerating flesh from bone and reviving the dead."
Ye Yunfei explained with a smile.
"So miraculous!"
Hearing this, everyone was astonished and hurriedly ate the golden fruits in their hands.
"After eating it, one indeed feels clear-headed and invigorated!"
The Ice Demon exclaimed.
Moments later, half of the fruits on the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree had been picked.
Ye Yunfei collected all the remaining ones and stored them away.
This Heavenly Treasure Sacred Fruit had far better effects than ordinary healing pills!
"I plan to take this tree away,"
Ye Yunfei said to the little girl.
"Uncle, are you going to destroy it?"
The little girl was taken aback and asked.
"No.
How could I bear to destroy such a treasure tree?
I'm taking it with me."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright then. Consider this my gift to you, Uncle."
The little girl nodded.
Roar...
The next moment, a Qinglong burst forth from behind Ye Yunfei, roaring skyward.
At Ye Yunfei's thought, the Qinglong charged towards the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree.
Rustle...
The Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree shook violently, seemingly developing a hint of autonomous consciousness.
"Merge!"
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, facing the tree, his hands forming seals as he urged the Qinglong to draw closer to the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree.
Roar, roar...
The Qinglong continuously issued roars, soon coiling around the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree.
Then, the Qinglong and the tree began to slowly merge.
It appeared to be fusion, but in truth, the Qinglong was devouring the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree!
Because both contained Wood-attributed energy and were governed by Wood Laws, there wasn't much repulsive force between them.
Time slowly passed.
Unknowingly, a day went by.
One day later.
"Success!"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat excited.
The Qinglong had successfully merged with the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree. It soared into the sky, soaring amidst the heavens.
It was visible that inside the Qinglong's body, a deep green treasure tree stretched its leaves, gently swaying.
"In the future, if you want to eat this tree's fruit, just tell me directly.
This tree will continue to live and bear fruit."
Ye Yunfei said to the little girl.
Ye Yunfei had merely fused this Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree into the Qinglong's body. As long as it continuously absorbed Wood-attributed energy and Wood Laws, the tree could grow normally and produce fruit normally.
Swoosh, swoosh...
Right then, Ye Yunfei noticed that the Qinglong, now soaring through the heavens, began absorbing the Wood-attributed energy and Wood Laws within this Small World.
Across heaven and earth, vast torrents of azure mist surged through the void, ultimately converging into the Qinglong's body.
The Qinglong's strength continuously increased!
Another day passed.
The Qinglong finally stopped absorbing Wood-attributed energy and Wood Laws.
"The Qinglong's current combat power is now equivalent to the early stage of the Dao Molding Realm!
This is largely due to merging with the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Tree!"
Ye Yunfei sensed the energy aura emanating from the Qinglong, feeling quite satisfied.
After that, Ye Yunfei led the others to begin gathering herbs within this Small World.
This Small World was filled everywhere with Wood-attributed herbs, their numbers vast.
In the end, Ye Yunfei and his companions left the Small World, satisfied with a large haul of herbs.
Next, guided by the little girl, beneath a desert on a massive, bustling, and prosperous planet, they found large quantities of Supreme Grade Nightmare Stones!
These Supreme Grade Nightmare Stones caused Ye Yunfei's Soul Power to surge once again.
They enabled the Heavenly Soul Sword Ye Yunfei could now unleash to contend against early-stage Dao Molding Realm cultivators!
"Uncle, now I'll take you to find this kind of stone!"
the little girl said to Ye Yunfei.
In her hand, she held a piece of spatial crystal stone!
"Alright.
I've really troubled you these past days."
Ye Yunfei said.
"I'm not troubled.
I'm very happy having Uncle accompany me.
Before, I was always alone. It was really lonely.
Uncle, will you stay with me forever from now on?"
The little girl said.
"Don't worry, you won't be lonely anymore,"
Ye Yunfei said vaguely.
Ye Yunfei, of course, couldn't possibly stay with the Canghuang Origin forever, because he would inevitably leave the Canghuang Realm sooner or later.
But Ye Yunfei had already thought it through; before leaving the Canghuang Realm, he would arrange for someone to look after her.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
The little girl was overjoyed, clapping her hands and laughing.
At the same time.
"Is this the other half of the Canghuang Realm?
Hmm, it truly is inferior to our half.
However, having been crippled in that war all those years ago, to think this realm has now slowly repaired itself. This environment is already better than we imagined."
A large group of experts had teleported over from the other half of the Canghuang Realm and were now standing in the starry void. One of them spoke, his tone arrogant.
"Seniors, you have finally arrived!
Let's first go to headquarters. I'll report the situation of this realm to you in detail!"
An old man in black led a group of people from afar, approaching and speaking respectfully to these newly arrived experts.
"Skip the formalities. Just tell us Ye Yunfei's whereabouts. We'll go directly to find him,"
one expert said indifferently.
