Protect Our Patriarch

Book 2: Chapter 14: Shu Zhe’s Bloodthirsty Vine Spirit

"Take a look at this spirit egg," the Spirit Artifact suggested, "This is the egg of a fifth-order spirit beast, the Li Huo Sparrow. Once refined through a special technique and nurtured from a young age, it could potentially reach the level of a sixth-order spirit beast. Of course, this process is very time-consuming and resource-intensive."

As it spoke, a red egg-shaped phantom appeared in front of Liu Ruolan, enveloped in a thin layer of flame. It was clearly no ordinary item.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruolan's breath hitched. This was a treasure.

Not just Liu Ruolan, even the experienced ancestors widened their eyes and gasped for breath.

Such a treasure would be highly sought after even by the celestial families.

Yet here it was, laid out in front of Liu Ruolan for her to choose as she pleased.

If it could grow to the sixth order, wouldn't the entire Changning Guard be unmatched?

But that was just wishful thinking.

No matter how good the spirit beast was, nurturing it would be a long process, and the resources consumed would be astronomical.

Liu Ruolan suppressed her impulse to choose it and waved her hand, "Let's see the next one. This one takes too long to grow."

"Then, take a look at this puppet spirit weapon," the Spirit Artifact introduced again, "This is a guard spirit weapon of the initial stage of the Spirit Platform Mirror. It's an essential item for home travel and killing."

As it spoke, a spirit weapon phantom appeared in front of Liu Ruolan. It was about the same size as a normal person and didn't look like a puppet at all.

"A guard spirit weapon of the Spirit Platform Mirror?"

The ancestors were once again taken aback. Didn't this mean that there would be an additional Spirit Platform Ancestor in their family?

The Daqian Empire naturally also sold Spirit Platform Mirror spirit weapons, but the price was extremely high and not something they could afford.

However, the reward for this trial was not easy to obtain.

One had to kill a Spirit Platform Mirror demon at the peak of the Qi Refining stage fairly! How many people in the entire Longzuo Commandery could do that?

Liu Ruolan was thinking, I want this guard spirit weapon, I want this guard spirit weapon.

But she still looked at Wang Shouzhe, "Husband, what do you think of this guard spirit weapon?"

"The item is good, but if it breaks, it's a hassle to find someone to repair it," Wang Shouzhe pondered and said, "Didn't they say there are five items to choose from? Let's look at the others."

"Next one, next one." Liu Ruolan was also full of anticipation. The reward for passing the fourth level was really good.

She wanted all of them, but unfortunately, she could only choose one.

"Then, you must take a look at this Yuan Water Spirit Pearl," the Spirit Artifact introduced again, "This is the most compatible spirit treasure for you, because your bloodline is already close to the Yuan Water Spirit Body. This Yuan Water Spirit Pearl can accelerate your cultivation progress when you practice. In addition, during battle, it can provide you with a continuous supply of Yuan Water Spirit Power and can also amplify the power of your moves."

Yuan Water Spirit Pearl!

As the Spirit Artifact's voice fell, a water-blue spirit pearl phantom appeared in front of Liu Ruolan.

Without a doubt, up to now, this Yuan Water Spirit Pearl was indeed the most compatible with Liu Ruolan.

But since there was still one last item to see, she might as well see it all before making a decision. Liu Ruolan said again, next one, next one.

She was afraid that she couldn't resist choosing this one first and didn't dare to look any further.

The Spirit Artifact said again, "Then there's only this last item left. It's not suitable for you. This is a spirit seed of the Bloodthirsty Vine, which is more suitable for those with a wood bloodline. Once the blood sacrifice is successful and it's planted, you can have a Bloodthirsty Vine! As it grows, its future potential is immeasurable. But at the same time, cultivating the Bloodthirsty Vine is not an easy task and requires a lot of resources."

"I'll take this one," Liu Ruolan said without hesitation.

"Are you sure you want the spirit seed of the Bloodthirsty Vine?" the Spirit Artifact confirmed again.

"Ruolan, you should choose the Yuan Water Spirit Pearl," Wang Shouzhe hurriedly said, "As for the Bloodthirsty Vine, I will strive for it myself."

"I want the spirit seed of the Bloodthirsty Vine," Liu Ruolan ordered, "Anyway, I got this from the last level for free."

She was very clear that she was able to pass the last level by luck. Although her husband was not bad, the chances of him defeating a Spirit Platform Mirror at the peak of the Qi Refining stage were extremely low. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"As you wish, Elite Liu Ruolan," the Spirit Artifact naturally wouldn't listen to Wang Shouzhe. It was clear that Liu Ruolan was the owner of the treasure.

After a wave of spatial fluctuations.

A seed the size of a fist appeared in front of Liu Ruolan, emitting a green glow.

The seed was full, as if it contained a vigorous life force.

Wang Shouzhe had planted many vine-like plants for testing, but none of them were spirit seeds, they were all common seeds that could be found everywhere.

But this spirit seed of the Bloodthirsty Vine made him feel extraordinary.

Along with the spirit seed, a small white crystal stone like jade also appeared.

The Spirit Artifact added, "Elite Liu Ruolan, this low-grade jade slip contains some elements for planting the Bloodthirsty Vine. In addition, the Bloodthirsty Vine is naturally ferocious and is a highly offensive spirit plant. It's best to wait until you reach the Spirit Platform stage before performing the blood sacrifice and cultivation."

"Thank you, Spirit Artifact, you did a good job," Liu Ruolan was in a good mood and praised the Spirit Artifact.

"Thank you for your compliment, Lady Liu Ruolan."

The Spirit Artifact was actually afraid of the elite warriors acting recklessly. Generally, at the level of these elites, they could all be considered as the pride of heaven.

And those who were the pride of heaven often had quite a temper. If they were to lose their cool, it was possible for them to destroy the Spirit Artifact. Just like the one just now... he was the type with a bad temper.

Then Liu Ruolan happily collected the low-level jade slip and the blood vine spirit seed, and obediently handed them over to Wang Shouzhe: "My husband, as long as you protect me, that's enough."

Seeing her obedient and clever demeanor, she seemed like a little woman who was completely dependent on her husband.

Wang Shouzhe felt warm inside, deeply moved, and also full of emotion.

"This is a great lady of the Wang's Clan who has devoted all her energy to herself and her children."

"Where can I find such a good wife? It would be even better if she doesn't suddenly transform and hit me."

"Ruolan, rest assured, I, Wang Shouzhe, will protect you for a lifetime, and even in the next life." Wang Shouzhe said sincerely.

"My husband, you are so good."

"My wife, you are the truly good one."

Liu Ruolei watched from the side with a pout, feeling like they were flaunting their affection, torturing the singles.

She couldn't stay in Changning Guard any longer, it was better to return to the academy as soon as possible.

"My wife, you go rest for a while." Wang Shouzhe had been preparing for this trial for a long time.

Then Liu Ruolan obediently went back to watch the battle.

Wang Shouzhe stood in the middle of the trial platform, took a deep breath and said, "Spirit Artifact, I am going to start the trial."

"As you wish, commoner."

Then a demon puppet slowly appeared.

When everyone first saw the demon puppet, they felt it was very powerful. But after the appearance of the Spirit Platform Realm demon puppet, they felt that this Qi Refining Realm peak demon puppet didn't seem so impressive, looking weak and frail.

But in reality, it was over two meters tall and weighed more than three hundred pounds.

As soon as the demon puppet appeared, it attacked Wang Shouzhe without saying a word.

Wang Shouzhe didn't even draw the sword from his waist, but instead scattered a handful of seeds with a wave of his hand.

Each seed was attached with green mysterious energy, looking like streaks of spiritual light.

The seeds fell to the ground and grew out of thin air, quickly sprouting into vines. The roots of these vines penetrated into the earth through the gaps in the heavy bricks of the trial platform.

These vines were all varieties that Wang Shouzhe had continuously improved, and they couldn't be compared with spirit species like the bloodthirsty vines.

But their biggest feature was that they were extremely tough, grew rapidly, and didn't require much energy.

Wang Shouzhe used the Willow Catkin Body Technique, floating around the vines to avoid the pursuit of the demon puppet. It felt like Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin, circling around the pillar.

This tactic was very simple, he often used it when playing games in his previous life, kiting around the tower.

As the vines grew rapidly, they soon turned into a world of plants, increasingly hindering the movement of the demon puppet.

The demon puppet seemed to be getting a little annoyed, swinging its sharp claws.

"Swish swish swish!"

Each swipe of its claws cut off many vines.

Non-spirit species vines, no matter how thick and tough, couldn't withstand such a sweep of sharp claws and were broken one after another.

But the demon puppet overlooked the number of vines and their terrifying regenerative ability.

After it stood still for a little while, its feet were unknowingly entwined by several vines. They grew rapidly, constantly climbing and entwining upwards.

As if they wanted to wrap the demon puppet into a vine dumpling.

The demon puppet, in a hurry, swung its claws rapidly to clear the vines on its feet.

The vines were constantly cut off by it and torn into sections. However, more vines kept growing and entwining, tirelessly wrapping around its feet, legs, and even hands.

The movements of the demon puppet became slower and slower. In a short while, it couldn't swing its claws anymore.

It was trapped alive in the vine formation.

At the same time.

The vines were still growing non-stop, drawing nutrients from the earth. The hard stone bricks on the ground were gradually pried open by their roots, exposing the earth.

They became thicker and stronger, like pythons, constantly entwining and squeezing.

The power of plants was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Unconsciously, the skeleton of the demon puppet made a crackling sound. Black demon blood seeped out from its ears, nose, and throat.

At this point, it didn't even have the strength to struggle. It was strangled to death by dozens of vines like a python wrapping around its body.

Everyone gasped.

Shouzhe's fighting style was not only strange but also very powerful and terrifying.

Especially Ancestor Xuanfu, she had seen many people with wood bloodlines in the academy. Most of them gathered under the door of Changchun.

The plants they researched were varied and strange, but most of them were not good at fighting, they just liked to research plants.

Using vine-like plants to set up battle formations was not unusual.

But Wang Shouzhe's vines grew so fast and had such a terrifying strangling power, she had never seen that before.

And Wang Shouzhe hadn't even drawn his sword at this point.

Could Shouzhe also pass the fourth level? Everyone was both hopeful and found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Congratulations, you have won the victory," the Spirit Artifact said.

"My husband is mighty, my husband is domineering." Now it was Liu Ruolan's turn to show off. She stepped forward to help Wang Shouzhe, wiping his sweat, massaging his back, fanning him, looking like a dutiful maid.

Wang Shouzhe enjoyed his wife's service while communicating with the Spirit Artifact and put away the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

Soon, the next challenge began.

This time there were two demon puppets, but Wang Shouzhe found that the Spirit Artifact did not stop him. The vines he had planted in the first round were taking effect on the battlefield.

Obviously, this was another small test for Wang Shouzhe.

Was the vine planted in the first round still useful in the second round?

With this, Wang Shouzhe's mood soared.

He and his sister, his niece wives, were boldly breaking through each level.

He was thinking about more issues.

Since the Spirit Artifact accepted this way of fighting, Wang Shouzhe naturally didn't hold back. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

He began to circle the field, using his body techniques to play hide and seek with the two demon puppets.

At the same time, he scattered seeds. The seeds kept spreading, almost covering a third of the trial field.

He was not in a hurry to kill the two demon puppets, but was slowly expanding the planting area.

"Spirit Artifact, can I take medicine or eat while fighting?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually.

"If your physical condition allows, you can use healing medicine or replenishing Xuanqi pills, and you can also eat."

"But you can't take stimulant-type pills that enhance combat power."

Hehe, I understand.

Wang Shouzhe was once again reassured.

Then, the vines gradually entangled the two demon puppets.

At this time, Wang Shouzhe's Xuanqi had also reached the bottom.

So he was not in a hurry to strangle the two demon puppets, but after controlling them with the vines, he took out some things from his storage ring and began to eat and drink.

Yes, he bought two storage rings. One for each of the couple. He also planned to give one to each Ancestor within a few years.

The vines intertwined to form tables and chairs.

He calmly took out some spirit meat, spirit fish, a small charcoal stove, tea set, and so on.

Then he began to eat hot pot soup as if no one else was there, replenishing the large amount of Qi and blood he had consumed. At the same time, he drank Cloud Mist Spirit Tea to nourish his spirit.

Ancestors like Meng and Ruhong looked at each other, Wang Shouzhe's way of fighting was too strange. And he seemed to be unorthodox, able to think of any tactics.

Wang Lici was drooling, and hurriedly said, "Spirit Artifact, Spirit Artifact, can I go up and help eat?"

"Mind your status, soldier," the Spirit Artifact replied.

"Then, can Liu Ruolan come up to eat?" Wang Shouzhe asked tentatively.

"If Elite Soldier Liu Ruolan agrees, she can come up to eat, but she can't help you fight."

The status of an elite soldier is indeed different, Wang Shouzhe thought to himself.
