Peerless Taoist

This time, on each branch, there was a flower bud that was about to bloom.    

"What is this smell? It smells so good!"    

"That's right. It's just a whiff, but I can feel that the bottleneck that I've been stuck in for so many years is starting to loosen!"    

The eyes of the surrounding alchemists lit up as they looked at the branch.    

Under Lu Yu's control, there was a golden light swirling around the branch.    

This was the Primordial Yuan Qi.    

Ever since the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court, the inheritance of the ancient immortal had been broken, and everything related to the Heavenly Court had been sealed.    

In the entire universe, even Daolord was afraid that very few people could cultivate the primordial origin energy.    

However, Lu Yu was different.    

He had received the inheritance of the Ancient Dao Immortal and cultivated the Absolute Beginning Body, which allowed him to cultivate this trace of Desolate Ancient Yuan Qi.    

If he was a cultivator now, no matter what methods he used, it would be impossible for him to reactivate this ancient herb.    

As for Lu Yu, with the help of the Desolate Ancient Yuan Qi, he would naturally be able to successfully awaken the medicinal seed.    

* Hua La! *    

With a soft sound, flowers bloomed on the branches.    

For a moment, a strong aroma filled the entire hall.    

However, that wasn't the end.    

The branches that had originally stretched out suddenly continued to spread, turning back into new branches.    

Under everyone's gaze, this tree instantly split into two trees, then continued to grow.    

After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, a small forest was formed in front of Lu Yu. It was lush and verdant.    

Fortunately, this hall was extremely spacious. Even if Lu Yu's medicinal herbs grew to this extent, they could still be put down.    

"This... This is simply a miracle!" An alchemist said in a trembling voice.    

That was merely a seed. Even if it was an ancient herb, how could it grow to such an extent?    

This method was unfathomable!    

"I refuse to accept this! I have been refining pills for so many years, how could I possibly lose to you!" Stephen Jin screamed and began to pour in even more powerful magical force into the Spirit Gathering Grass.    

However, the Spirit Gathering Grass only grew for half a meter before stopping.    

This was only the Spirit Gathering Grass.    

There was nothing special about it. No matter how strong Stephen Jin was, no matter how hard he tried, he could not let a seed grow too much.    

"So this is where Wang Chen is brilliant. We all thought it was easy to gather the Spirit Gathering Grass, but we didn't expect the limit of the Spirit Gathering Grass to be so much."    

"Hehe, this time, Old Man Yuwen is throwing a stone at his own feet. Serves him right!"    

The other alchemists were gloating.    

"Puff!" Stephen Jin spat out another mouthful of blood. His eyes were completely red.    

However, before he could react, a sharp cry suddenly sounded from outside the hall.    

"Who is it!?" Everyone looked out and saw a fiery light fly over their heads and land on a large tree.    

It had a snake's head, a fish's tail, and a turtle's back with dragon patterns. It was a fire phoenix!    

"It's the fire phoenix that Ancestor raised. It actually came out of seclusion!"    

"Rumor has it that a fine bird chooses a tree to live on. This fire phoenix is an ancient species that Ancestor raised. If it takes a fancy to it, then what exactly is this ancient medicine seed?!"    

Under everyone's shocked gazes, the fire phoenix cried out a few times. Its body gradually rested within the crown of the tree as it stared at Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu said indifferently, "This ancient medicine seed is mine. If you want it, you have to pay the price."    

When the others saw him say this, they all had a look of disbelief on their faces.    

That was an ancient variant, an existence akin to a divine beast!    

If they took advantage of the situation and gave it to the fire phoenix, it would be a matter of good karma with a divine beast. Many people did not even dare to think about it.    

"I heard that during the Alchemy Dao Conference's assessment, the medicine refined by Wang Chen attracted qilin. But he didn't even give the Qilin face. At that time, I thought that it was a joke. Now, it looks like there shouldn't be a mistake!" An apothecary sighed.
