Chapter 590: The Hint is Mo Ling

"Hint..." Zhen Yuan muttered, but his lips soon curled into a wicked smile.

[Mo Ling.] He said and the double couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Where is he?" He asked and began looking around.

However, he couldn’t see the person no matter how he looked.

"I don’t see him." He said and Zhen Yuan chuckled before speaking.

"Mo Ling is the hint." He said.

Shen Xu frowned when he heard this.

After all, Mo Ling was too broad a hint and he couldn’t think of any plant that invoked Mo Ling’s image.

"Give me a more specific hint." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"’Mo Ling’ is the most specific hint that I can give without revealing the answer." He said.

"This..." The double muttered, his brows creased in a thoughtful expression.

"You can think as we climb." Zhen Yuan urged and the two began climbing the mountain.

"Mo Ling is male so his nature is Yang. Is it the Yang tree?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"We have encountered many men since we met in Blue Deer Village. Why would I choose Mo Ling and not anyone else?" He asked.

"Now that you mention it..." Shen Xu said and narrowed his eyes.

"Why Mo Ling?" He muttered but suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.

"Mo Ling has a sword bone and is a natural swordsman." He analysed and quickly continued.

"The treasure is priceless and the only invaluable plant related to swords is the divine sword tree. Is it the divine sword tree?" Shen Xu asked with an excited face.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded.

Like the Divine Lightning Tree, the Divine Sword tree was a sacred plant.

From what Shen Xu knew, every inch of the Divine Sword Tree exuded sword intent and comprehending the intent would enhance a cultivator’s swordsmanship by leaps and bounds.

"It’s a good thing." The double said and Zhen Yuan nodded in agreement.

Although he and Shen Xu were not pure swordsmen, they often practised their swordsmanship and their level was not low.

With the Divine Sword Tree, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two had gained an opportunity to become matchless swordsmen.

However, neither Shen Xu nor Zhen Yuan planned to become pure swordsmen.

For them, the Divine Sword Tree was a lukewarm treasure but they still valued it because their family had Li Wenqiang, Dongfang Jing, Chen Yi, Mo Ling, and Xuanyuan Yang.

"Is it mature?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"It’s a tiny seedling that has just sprouted." He said and the double sighed in disappointment.

However, he didn’t dwell on it because they had the Chaos Flame Space.

"Let’s hurry." He urged.

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan encountered many monsters along the way, but their aura was too strong so the monsters didn’t dare to attack them.

Because of this, they reached the mountain peak in half a day and began dealing with the top boss.

"A level thirteen wind blade cheetah." Shen Xu observed and subconciously narrowed his eyes.

"Its strength is average but its speed is equivalent to a golden immortal realm cultivator." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"I will suppress it." He said, took out his law scripting brush and drew a golden rune in the air.

A breath later, the rune flew into the opponent’s body, and the cheetah collapsed on the ground as if a heavy weight was suddenly placed on its back.

Shen Xu didn’t hesitate when he saw this.

Instantaneously, he raised his hammer and began smashing the cheetah.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

In one moment, the wind blade cheetah was running towards them and in another, its breath was gone and its body had become a corpse.

"Not bad." Shen Xu said and collected the body into his storage ring.

"Let’s check its cave." Zhen Yuan said, leading the way to the cheetah’s cave.

The cave was one hundred square metres, and had uneven rocks on all surfaces.

That said, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan saw many immortal grasses, wind element stones, and the divine sword tree seedling.

"I will collect them." Shen Xu said and went to collect the harvest.

As usual, the immortal grasses and seedling were sent to Xiaoren for replanting, while the wind element stones were collected in the storage ring.

"Yang Shi and Yin Shi can absorb all kinds of qi. These wind element stones are just right for them." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded before speaking.

"Xiaoxu, what do you want to do if we encounter Mo Ling and the others in the Lower Heaven? Do you want to reunite?" He and Shen Xu immediately shook his head.

"I don’t want to reunite until we reach the Upper Heaven." He said and quickly continued.

"That said, I don’t mind giving them some resources if we encounter them."

"Okay." Zhen Yuan agreed.

If possible, he also didn’t want to reunite with the others for the time being.

On one hand, he wanted to spend more time with Shen Xu and on the other, sticking together would limit everyone’s growth.

Knowing that, he supported Shen Xu’s determination not to reunite with the others in the Lower Heaven.

After getting the Divine Sword Tree, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan relaxed alittle but they didn’t leave the forest.

Instead, they continued hunting monsters, harvesting immortal plants, collecting ores, and enjoying the scenery.

Six months passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Shen Xu recalled the puppets and collected them into his storage ring.

When that was done, he and Zhen Yuan left the depths and hurried to the meeting place.

As expected, the rabbit clansmen were waiting with worried expressions.

"Seniors, you are back." Ling Kai exclaimed with a happy face.

"Did something happen?" Shen Xu asked and Ling Kai nodded before speaking.

"Our clan has collected everything." He said and Shen Xu smiled.

"That’s good." He said.
