Chapter 732: Chapter 478 Endless Desert, Life Oasis, Wood Spirit Pearl Obtained (Happy New Year to everyone!)_2

"Do you think I have any need to deceive you?" Lu Qing said calmly, "Of course, the choice is yours. If you wish to perish with this oasis in the Endless Desert, I won’t object."

The elder hesitated.

Indeed, with someone like Lu Qing, there was truly no need to deceive them.

If he truly harbored ill intentions, he could simply take it by force. It wasn’t as though they could resist.

"Immortal, this matter is of great importance. I need to consult with the clansmen."

Though extremely tempted, the elder still spoke with great respect.

"I can give you fifteen minutes." Lu Qing nodded.

"Thank you, Immortal."

The elder bowed his head to Lu Qing.

Turning around, he was met with burning gazes.

"Clan Leader, what’s there to discuss? Hurry and agree with the Immortal!"

"Yes, it’s rare for an immortal to offer to take us out; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"If we miss this chance, it’s likely we’ll never be able to leave here again!"

"Clan Leader, don’t hesitate anymore!"

...

Enough, hearing the urging of the clansmen, the elder knew there was no need for further discussion.

Clearly, these guys were even more eager than himself.

But he also understood why this was.

Over the years, the village population had gradually increased, but the village itself was only so big.

Though they could still sustain themselves, they were already stretching to make ends meet.

If they continued like this, they would likely live more and more difficultly.

Trapped in the Endless Desert, they couldn’t even distinguish directions, let alone find their way out.

So now that Lu Qing was willing to lead them out, it truly was a timely lifeline.

Thinking of this, the elder no longer hesitated.

Turning back, he knelt down before Lu Qing.

"Immortal, we have all discussed it, we implore you to take us all out."

"We earnestly implore the Immortal to take us all out!"

Other villagers also bowed down to Lu Qing again.

Lu Qing smiled: "First, let me take a look at your sacred object, to see if it’s what I need."

Soon, Lu Qing was led to a not tall but very sturdy, and with extremely developed roots, old tree.

The roots of the old tree even formed a small temple-like structure, guarding something within.

That was indeed a Treasure Bead glowing with green light.

"Immortal, this is the sacred object passed down for generations in Yellow Sand Village." The elder spoke anxiously.

If before, he worried that Lu Qing was here to seize the village’s sacred object.

Now, he desperately hoped this was exactly what Lu Qing wanted.

Because only then would their clan have hope of leaving this Endless Desert.

Lu Qing examined the green Treasure Bead.

In fact, he had already confirmed before coming over that this was indeed the Wood Spirit Pearl.

Unlike the other continually dormant Spiritual Pearls, this Wood Spirit Pearl was clearly always in a state of awakening.

Whether the environment here stimulated its awakening, or if there were other reasons, he did not know.

With a gesture, the Wood Spirit Pearl trembled lightly within the root structure, about to fly out.

But in the next instant, an unusual force fixed it in place, and the old tree’s roots suddenly tightened, firmly enveloping the Wood Spirit Pearl.

At the same time, a wave of angry intent emerged from the old tree, as if angrily scolding something.

"This, this..."

This sudden change startled the elder, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

Pointing at the old tree, his mouth fell open in shock.

He hadn’t expected this old tree, worshipped for hundreds of years by his clan, could move like a living being.

"Oh, has it developed spiritual nature?"

Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

The old tree hid deeply, even he was somewhat deceived.

Of course, this was also because his attention was focused on the Wood Spirit Pearl.

The rich Wood Element Power from the Wood Spirit Pearl also overshadowed the old tree’s slight spiritual nature.

However, how could a newly emerged spiritually awakened old tree possibly pose a difficulty for Lu Qing?

Suddenly a wisp of transparent flame appeared in his hand.

He said indifferently, "Release the Spiritual Pearl, or I’ll burn you to death."

As the Nanming Leaving Fire emerged, the old tree’s branches and leaves trembled.

It instinctively sensed that the flame in Lu Qing’s hand was extremely terrifying.

If it touched it, given its level of cultivation, it would surely be unable to resist, likely to be burned clean in an instant.

Yet to abandon the Wood Spirit Pearl was something the old tree was extremely reluctant to do.

Finally, the old tree sent a wave of grievances towards Lu Qing.

"You say without the Wood Spirit Pearl, you cannot resist the desert’s heat, and will gradually wither?"

Lu Qing sensed the wave from the old tree and came to a realization.

He thought for a few moments and said, "I’m taking the Wood Spirit Pearl for sure. If you don’t wish to slowly wither and die here, follow me.

I will find a Spirit Mountain Paradise for you, not only allowing you to root peacefully but also enabling better cultivation in the future.

After all, this is a desert, and the earth’s energy is thin.

Even with the Wood Spirit Pearl, your cultivation will ultimately be difficult to achieve success."

The old tree listened to Lu Qing’s words, its leaves gently trembled, as if contemplating something.

Lu Qing was in no rush, standing there quietly, the Nanming Leaving Fire in his hand remained lit.

He didn’t act immediately, simply mindful that this old tree managed to develop spiritual nature in the Endless Desert, which was no easy feat.

But if this fellow truly didn’t recognize kindness, he wouldn’t mind using it for firewood.
