1995 Harvest Isn’t Ripe Yet!

Ding Chengshuo could clearly sense that Bai Dong’s gaze on him had turned guarded, and worry had surfaced on his face.

Objectively, the most disgusting person present was undoubtedly Bai Dong.

He had taken the risk of affronting Su Jian and extended an olive branch to Ding Chengshuo.

But when Ding Chengshuo rejected his seemingly friendly gesture of recruitment, he appeared to turn around and try to bootlick Su Jian, who had just tried to kill him.

At that moment, Bai Dong was wondering if there was something wrong with Ding Chengshuo’s head.

Given Ding Chengshuo’s power, he should be in the prime of his lifespan despite the advanced number.

There was no way that he was already turning senile!

Bai Dong was stunned when he saw the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers that Su Jian had poured out of the brocade pouch.

At that moment, all Bai Dong wanted was to shout at Ding Chengshuo, “Are you crazy!? Even if you really are trying to get into Su Jian’s good books, one elemental pearl with outer layers will be enough. Why did you have to give him five!?”

At first, Bai Dong was seething, and he wanted nothing more than to give Ding Chengshuo a beating he would never forget.

But after Su Jian killed Meng Xiu, Bai Dong suddenly remembered that the precedent of a win-win situation meant that it could be lose-lose as well.

The Su family had been the ones who asked to work with the Bai family on this operation. In order to convince them to stand on the same side, the Su family had promised a mountain of benefits to the Bai family.

The previous fight between the Bai family and the Yi family had left the Bai family severely injured.

The Bai family had to make a right decision in order to make up for the losses suffered from that previous wrong decision.

Meng Xiu was from the Meng family. Although the Meng family did not have thearch-class experts, they were still a mid-ranked faction from Sacred Forest City.

While the Meng family relied on the Su family, they could also be counted as the Su family’s allies.

The Meng family had a seat on the council, and the Su family had to have given the Meng family promises when they made their deal.

It was unknown if the promises had been met yet.

But what was known was that Su Jian had never been concerned for the Meng family.

Su Jian was one of the main decision-makers in the Su family, and his attitude represented the attitude of the entire Su family.

Normally, if Su Jian noticed that Bai Dong was looking at him strangely, he would definitely try to adjust Bai Dong’s thinking.

After all, once the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm closed, it was unknown if the external matters would be settled as well.

If the Yang family was insistent on holing up in the imperial court, it would take at least two weeks for the dust to settle, given the structural challenges of sieging the imperial court and the defenses that the Yang family had to have put up on their own.

Hence, the Su family still needed the Bai family’s strength.

But at that moment, all Su Jian could think of was Chop Dark.

Up till then, Chop Dark had never had access to such pure wind-elemental energy.

Now that it had the chance to be nourished by such pure wind-elemental energy, Chop Dark started by increasing the purity of the wind-elemental energy within itself.

At the same time, the color of its wind started to darken from its original faint and transparent darkness to pure obsidian. It looked like ink that was swirling in the sky.

Moreover, as Chop Dark continued to purify the wind-elemental energy within itself and the color of its wind continued to change, it eventually resembled a spinning black hole in the sky.

Any entity that was sucked into Chop Dark would become one with the darkness.

It would take another three hours for Chop Dark to absorb the five wind-type elemental pearls and finish its transformation.

Every minute spent in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was extremely precious to Lin Yuan.

He decided for Ding Chengshuo to find a reason to pull away from the Su family’s group. After all, they would eventually have to meet up again.

After Ding Chengshuo had betrayed the Bai family, it was possible that the Bai family would try to exact their revenge on him.

Thus, Lin Yuan stored Ding Chengshuo in the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad just like he had done to the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle.

Soon, a large number of black feathers shot out from the ground by his feet and turned into four pairs of black wings.

As the four pairs of black wings flapped, Lin Yuan started sensing through Morbius and flew off in the direction of the spirit springs.

Along the way, Lin Yuan noticed numerous precious plant-type feys.

It could be said that even without the plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline, the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was a treasure trove of plant-type feys.

Lin Yuan did not stop to dig out these plant-type feys.

He intended to use the simplest and most forceful method to lure the Holy Lady or lifeform in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm out so he could achieve his goal.

As long as he took control of that lifeform, everything in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm would belong to him.

While he was flying, he heard Morbius’ voice in his spirit again, “Partner, I only sensed five mouths of spirit springs at first. But as you get nearer to those five mouths of spirit springs, I started to slowly pick up even more.”

A smile spread across Lin Yuan’s face.

He had already been flying at full speed for almost 17 hours. While he was flying, he adjusted his direction every once in a while.

There were a few places where large patches of plant-type feys could create illusions were planted.

They were planted neatly as though they were blocking the spirit qi professionals’ path.

If Lin Yuan had not contracted the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen and had a strong resistance to poison, he would not have been able to ignore the vapors that the plant-type feys were shooting into the sky.

It seemed that he would be even closer to the lifeform in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm once he crossed the few natural moats.

As Lin Yuan cast his gaze around, he saw that numerous flowing streams covered the ground below the mountain.

There were traces of plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline along the banks of the streams.

It was likely that those who ventured into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm found the plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline along these streams.

What Lin Yuan wanted to find was not the streams but the main river.

It was rare for the streams to move in a circle unless they happened to be connected to other streams.

Even if the streams were connected, the water would move slowly.

If Lin Yuan wanted to use the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp to absorb all of the Sacred Wood bloodline from the spirit springs, he needed to find the main source.

The spirit springs were linked, and the fastest way to absorb the Sacred Wood bloodline would be to go to the source.

There had to be a price to pump so much bloodline power into the spirit springs.

It was likely that the lifeform would not be able to handle such a huge loss.

With this thought, Lin Yuan sped up the circulation of spiritual power in his body and shot off in the direction that Morbius was pointing out.
