Chapter 454: Magic Weapon of the Leafy Tree
Wang Hong had devoted a considerable amount of time and effort observing and studying the Greenish Little Tree. He still wasn't entirely sure whether the material of this small tree was truly impervious to swords.
He noticed that every time the small tree was attacked, the runes on its surface would shimmer, and then a radiant light would envelop it, deflecting any incoming assaults.
The defensive power of the Greenish Little Tree seemed to be inherent, deriving from its peculiar runes.
Wang Hong controlled the Magic Weapon, Frosty Light Blade, within the space. He aimed it at one of the branches and struck, yet the formidable power of the Magic Weapon could not leave a single mark.
The Frosty Light Blade continued to hack away at it, but it couldn't harm the small tree in the slightest.
After a while, Wang Hong looked at the perfectly unscathed tree with a hint of frustration. "Since you can't be of use to me, what's the point of keeping you?"
He was uncertain if this tree would ever bear fruit, and even if it did, he doubted his abilities would be sufficient to harvest it.
As he gazed at the tree with a touch of disappointment, he sensed that the surrounding Spirit Qi was converging towards the small tree at an accelerated rate.
His connection with the space had become increasingly intimate, and he was acutely aware of all the changes within it.
In just a moment, this phenomenon disappeared again, and he suddenly had a realization and decided to give it a try.
Once again, he controlled the Frosty Light Blade and fiercely struck at the Greenish Little Tree, but it still did not leave a mark.
This time, the Spirit Qi converged around the small tree even faster.
"Hahaha! I finally understand. It turns out that the little tree's rune-based defense also consumes Spiritual Energy. This makes it manageable."
With this thought in mind, he manipulated the Spirit Qi within the space, causing it to leave the vicinity of the small tree, creating a vacuum of Spirit Qi around it.
Then, he wielded the Frosty Light Blade and repeatedly attacked the small tree.
After attacking for a while, he noticed that the dense runes on the tree were no longer as brilliant as before, just as he had suspected.
Enduring mental fatigue, he increased the speed of his attacks.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the runes on the small tree became dim and lifeless. When he struck it with a single blow, a leaf fell from the tree.
Wang Hong hurriedly picked up the leaf, which appeared lush and tender, with runes shimmering on its surface.
He tried this several more times without success. Perhaps the auxiliary materials were too low-tier.
Finally, he decided to give up on using auxiliary materials and directly refine the single leaf.
It took three days of direct refinement with Spirit Fire before the leaf began to melt, and he started inscribing formations on it.
Six months later, Wang Hong sat in a secluded room, holding a cup of tea. He looked visibly tired at this moment.
After finishing the cup of tea, some life returned to his eyes.
He extended one hand forward, and a stack of tree leaves appeared in his hand.
These tree leaves were fresh and green, neatly stacked together, appearing not very thick.
When he activated them with Spiritual Power, the leaves all flew into the air, totaling thirty-six pieces, swirling and dancing around him.
At the same time, he summoned the Frosty Light Blade and swung it towards himself. When the Frosty Light Blade was about to approach him, it was blocked by one of the leaves.
The seemingly tender leaf, struck by the Frosty Light Blade, warped, but the Frosty Light Blade couldn't advance a bit further.
Then the leaf bounced back to its original state, and the Frosty Light Blade was thrown away. This soft leaf withstood the strike of the Frosty Light Blade without any damage.
He repeated this several times, and all of them were successful.
Of course, this kind of sparring with himself was far from actual combat, and he would have to try it again when he had the opportunity.
Afterward, the thirty-six leaves disappeared, and he stored them within his dantian.
Magic weapons could be stored inside the body and nurtured slowly by Spiritual Power. As the nurturing time increased, the control over the magic weapon would become more refined, and the power of the magic weapon would also improve.
However, most cultivators only nurtured their Lifebound Magical Treasures. Nurturing too many could hinder their cultivation progress.
Currently, Wang Hong didn't have a Lifebound Magical Treasure, so he casually stored this magic weapon inside him for temporary nurturing.
