Chapter 855: Golden Celestial Tree
After flying for half a day, Yuan could finally see the Blood-Soaked Mountain in the distance.
Although it looks like a regular mountain right now, it used to be soaked in blood from the top to bottom.
However, if one looked closely, there were still some red colors left on this mountain.
"So this is Blood-Soaked Mountain… I guess we should split up and look for the treasure." Feng Yuxiang suggested after they arrived."Wait." Yuan stopped her.
He closed his eyes and took a couple of deep breaths.
"Okay, I don't smell any demons around here. Let's go look for the treasure." Yuan said a moment later.
Lan Yingying also appeared to help search for the treasure.
Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying searched the area surrounding the mountain while Yuan searched the mountain itself.
The peak of the mountain was flat, almost like the Dragon Spiral Mountain, so Yuan went there first.
"This place still reeks of blood even after millions of years..." Yuan sighed as he searched the top of the mountain that was also riddled with skeletons. Sometime later, Lan Yingying's voice resounded in Yuan's head, "Yuan, I think I found something. I am currently inside the mountain. There is an entrance at the south.""Okay, I am coming."
Yuan immediately began making his way back down the mountain. At the south end of the mountain, there was a concealed cave that had been kept hidden by these red vines that covered the bottom of the mountain.
"I'm surprised that you found this cave." Yuan said to Lan Yingying after arriving and seeing the situation.
"It actually looked even more concealed before. I had to remove some vines just to get inside," she said.
"What did you find inside?" Feng Yuxiang asked.
"Well... I think it would be better if you see it for yourselves."
"Let's go." Yuan said as he entered the cave.
After following a narrow path, they entered this spacious area inside the mountain.
At the end of this room was a beautiful tree with red leaves growing on a golden trunk, and this tree was growing in the middle of a small pond with glistening golden water.
"Wow... Is this the treasure that the demons mentioned? What do you think, Feng Feng?" Yuan asked Feng Yuxiang, who was the expert when it comes to treasures.
However, Feng Yuxiang didn't respond.
Yuan turned to look at her to see a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"Feng Feng?" He called her again.
"Eh?"
Feng Yuxiang snapped out of her daze and looked at Yuan.
"S-Sorry, Young Master. I was dozing off just now."
"Judging by the look you had, you know what kind of treasure this is?" He asked.
Feng Yuxiang nodded with a serious face.
"Young Master, this treasure is called the Golden Celestial Tree. It's an incredibly rare treasure that requires thousands of years to grow, and judging by the size of this tree, it's millions of years old. This kind of treasure is hard to come by even in the upper heavens."
"Oh... What does it do?"
"All sorts of things. The crimson leaves can be used in alchemy; the golden trunk can be used to create treasures, and the golden liquid can be used to temper one's body."
"Tempering my body? That's perfect!" Yuan said.
Seeing that Yuan was prepared to jump into the water, she quickly said, "W-Wait a moment, Young Master!"
"If you temper your body, your cultivation will, without a doubt, surpass Spirit King and perhaps even Spirit Emperor."
"Oh, if I do that, then I will be forced to ascend, huh? So what do you suggest? Can we store the liquid somewhere?"
Feng Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, I have the perfect treasure for it."
She retrieved a large, transparent gourd a moment later and said, "We can store the liquid in this gourd. It will keep the liquid clean and pure."
"Please." Yuan nodded.
Feng Yuxiang proceeded to collect the water with the gourd, which didn't take too long.
Once that was done, she handed him the gourd and said, "The leaves and trunk will have to be collected separately. However, the leaves will quickly lose spiritual energy if we don't store them properly."
She took out a couple of wooden boxes and said, "We'll store the leaves in these boxes meant for pills. It will prevent the leaves from going bad or losing spiritual energy for one thousand years."
"As for the trunk, it can be stored in any spatial ring."
Yuan nodded, "Let's store the leaves first."
They quickly began removing the crimson leaves from the tree.
After storing the crimson leaves, Yuan yanked the golden trunk from the ground and stored it inside the Dragon Spatial Ring.
"I still can't believe that we'd found a Golden Celestial Tree in this place." Feng Yuxiang sighed afterward.
"How much do you think we'll be able to receive from this treasure if we were to sell it?" Yuan suddenly asked.
"Y-You want to sell the Golden Celestial Tree?" Feng Yuxiang looked at him with wide eyes.
"No, I'm just curious."
Feng Yuxiang then said, "Well, just the leaves alone are worth a few hundred million spirit stones."
"A few hundred million spirit stones?!" Yuan exclaimed.
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "And that's the least expensive part from the Golden Celestial Tree."
"The trunk can be sold for a few billion spirit stones while a small bottle of the liquid is worth as much as all of the leaves combined."
Yuan swallowed nervously after realizing the value of the Golden Celestial Tree.
Who would've thought that they would come across such a fortuitous encounter in the Demons' Valley?
"I'm really glad we decided to visit Demons' Valley." Yuan chuckled.
Sometime later, they left the cave after making sure there were no more hidden treasures.
"Now how are we going to find Jia Chong? The Demons' Valley is not a small place. It'll take weeks to cover the place, but we only have a couple of days left before we must meet up with Xiao Hua and Min Li." Yuan asked them for suggestions..
