City Lord’s Mansion.

The backyard is as spectacular as a forest.

On a towering stone platform built in the center of the forest, Yan Beishan and his granddaughter Yan Ying were waiting for Xiao Nuo.

Yan Beishan changed from yesterday's disheveled and messy appearance. His hair was neatly combed and decorated with a crown, making him look full of energy and extraordinary bearing.

Yanying's body is also much cleaner than yesterday. She is still a small one standing next to Yan Beishan, but this time she does not huddle behind her grandfather.

When Xiao Nuo walked up, Yanying tilted her head and smiled lightly.

"City Lord..." Xiao Nuo clasped his hands and saluted towards Yan Beishan.

The palm of his left hand was still tied with the strip of cloth that Yanying had tied to him yesterday. After all, it was a penetrating injury caused by a 'quasi-top grade spiritual weapon'. No matter how strong Xiao Nuo's body was, it couldn't heal that quickly...

Yan Beishan nodded and said, "Come here!"

"Huh?" Xiao Nuo looked at the other party in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"Immortal Tree Terrace!"

As soon as Yan Beishan finished speaking, an emerald green light curtain moved from far to near.

The light curtain moved vertically, as if a layer of water curtain passed through the three figures.

"Buzz!"

Then, Xiao Nuo felt a slight movement in the space. Suddenly, Xiao Nuo seemed to have entered a high-rise cloud platform.

The abundant spiritual energy is like a fairy mist. The cloud platform is so high from the sky that it seems like you can touch the clouds in the sky with your hand.

In the middle of this majestic cloud platform, there is a huge towering ancient tree.

It takes several people to hug the tree body alone, and its canopy covers almost two-thirds of the cloud platform. People standing under it feel like they are the size of an insect...

"This is?" Xiao Nuo's eyes were full of surprise.

This towering ancient tree exudes a particularly powerful aura, with every green leaf swaying with a special fluorescent light.

"This place is the hub of Holy Tree City. This ancient spiritual tree is the foundation of the city lord's mansion..."

Yan Beishan said to Xiao Nuo.

"It is precisely because of this ancient spiritual tree that the City Lord's Mansion was able to create the 'Tree Realm Formation'."

Hearing what Yan Beishan said, Xiao Nuo was amazed.

But what confused him was, what was the other party's purpose for wanting him to come here?

"This time the City Lord's Mansion suffered a disaster. If you hadn't come to help, the Holy Tree City would have fallen into the hands of the Tiangang Sword Sect. I came to you to express my gratitude."

Yan Beishan told the reason.

Xiao Nuo immediately responded, "The city lord is serious. This junior was sent here by the third elder. The main purpose is to promote the alliance between Piaomiao Sect and Holy Tree City, so everything he does is just to perform the task!"

Yan Beishan raised his hand, "Public is public and private is private. I can clearly distinguish between public and private."

Before Xiao Nuo could say anything else, Yan Beishan waved his sleeves, and a ray of emerald green light shot out.

"Whoosh!"

Green light flashed into the ancient spiritual tree, and a powerful wave of energy suddenly arose above the cloud platform.

"Wow!"

spirit tree

As the center, ancient formation wheels spread out in circles one after another.

Immediately afterwards, spiritual energy exploded in the formation, and thousands of strands of pure spiritual power were seen gathering in front of the three people.

"Buzz!"

The streams of pure spiritual power were like streams gathering at one point. Then, Yan Beishan raised his left hand.

The central area where many spiritual energies gathered released a bright moon-like light.

"despair!"

Then, a small green ball floated in Yan Beishan's palm.

This small ball is about the size of a longan, and the light it emits flickers on and off.

When it's dark, everything is soft.

At dawn, the sun shines brightly.

Yan Beishan raised this object in front of Xiao Nuo.

"This object is the 'Wood Spirit Pill'. It is a treasure made from ancient spiritual trees gathering the spiritual energy from all directions, and then fusing it with their own spiritual energy. It usually takes five to ten years to form one...

…”

Although this thing is called "Wood Spirit Pill", it actually has nothing to do with pills.

It did not borrow any medicinal materials, nor was it refined with cauldron fire, but was formed with the purest spiritual power.

Xiao Nuo was even more shocked when he heard that it would take five to ten years to form a Wood Spirit Pill.

"Lord Yan City, I..."

"My little friend, don't refuse!" Yan Beishan did not wait for Xiao Nuo to be polite, and directly made the Wood Spirit Pill float in front of him. "This thing is valuable, but it is not as valuable as my life, let alone the entire City Lord's Mansion.

is so important, in comparison, this thank you gift is a bit light!"

The other party has already said this, and if Xiao Nuo refuses again, it will feel false.

"Okay! In that case, I would like to thank the city lord for his kindness."

"Hahahaha, this is ridiculous..." Yan Beishan laughed loudly with satisfaction, and then he said, "Taking the Wood Spirit Pill under the ancient spirit tree will get twice the result with half the effort. You can rest assured to refine the pill here. I and I

Ying'er is waiting for you outside!"

"this……"

"No need to be polite!"

"Okay, I would like to thank the city lord!"

Afterwards, Yan Beishan took Yan Ying out.

On the cloud platform and under the ancient spiritual tree, Xiao Nuo held the Wood Spirit Pill in his palm, with some anticipation in his eyes.

"It takes five to ten years to make a pill. The spiritual energy contained in this pill is probably very important!"

Immediately, Xiao Nuo sat down cross-legged under the ancient spiritual tree, adjusted his posture slightly, and then swallowed the Wood Spirit Pill into his mouth.

Different from the pills I had taken before, the moment I took the Wood Spirit Pill, it was like a wisp of cool liquid, sliding directly into my stomach.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, a spiritual energy that was about ten times more powerful than the 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill' burst out from Xiao Nuo's body.

However, this spiritual power was extremely clear, without any impurities in it. Xiao Nuo activated the 'yin and yang cyclone' in his dantian.

, quickly absorb the power of the Wood Spirit Pill.

At the same time, the ancient spiritual tree above Xiao Nuo's head also swayed into a dreamy light and shadow.

Dreamy light and shadow enveloped Xiao Nuo, and Xiao Nuo immediately felt that the speed of absorbing the Wood Spirit Pill was still accelerating.

"Good stuff..." Xiao Nuo was secretly happy. He could clearly feel that his strength was increasing rapidly.

In less than a moment, Xiao Nuo reached the peak level of the first level of Qi Control Realm and began to attack the boundaries of the next level.

…

Outside.

A stone platform built on the side of a mountain wall.

Yanying sat on the edge of the stone platform, her little feet dangling in the air.

He snuggled against his grandfather's side, feeling more relaxed than ever.

Yan Beishan was also extremely kind. He restrained all his majesty as a city lord, leaving only love to his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, when will I grow up?" Yanying asked curiously.

She stuttered a bit and her pronunciation was more difficult than ordinary people.

Yan Beishan smiled and said, "You have grown up. Last year you were only one meter tall. This year you are one meter tall..."

"But, but I'm already fifteen years old..." Yanying said.

A normal child is close to the height of an adult by the age of fifteen.

Yanying is still almost like a child.

Yan Beishan stroked the other person's head, "It's fine now."

"But, but, I... also want long legs..." Yanying said aggrievedly.

"Hahahahaha..." Yan Beishan was amused. He laughed and said, "It will happen. You just grow slowly, but it's not that you won't grow up."
