Golden elixir of cultivation

Chapter 37

He looked up and down a few times, spat, then slashed hard at one place.

The iron ax was extremely sharp. When the ax fell, a large gap suddenly appeared in the tree body, and logs flew everywhere.

Behind, Bai Mo could see clearly that the big locust tree trembled a few times imperceptibly.

"Huh? Why is the sap green?" The old woodcutter rubbed his eyes and looked at the sap flowing in the gap. It was as thick as blood and had a faint fragrance, and he said in surprise, "This tree is really strange."

He didn't think much about it. He had been cutting firewood for many years, and he had seen sap of various colors, white, red, and clear water. It was not surprising that there were more green sap now.

"Old sir, what's the secret to cutting down trees?" Seeing the old woodcutter's axe, which was filled with a smooth and carefree atmosphere, Bai Mo's face moved slightly, thoughtfully, and he made two gestures with his hand. After getting off the ground, his eyes lit up, then he held the big ax in his hand, approached the big locust tree, and asked with a smile.

The old woodcutter glanced at the axe, nodded, and gave some random instructions, "The most important thing about cutting down trees is that practice makes perfect. In addition, you need to have thorough strength, a steady hand, and a flexible waist."

Bai Mo had a look of surprise on his face and followed the old woodcutter's instructions to round the big ax and hit the tree hard.

"Boom!!"

A huge force shot up, making his hands numb. Looking at the tree body again, there was only a shallow mark left.

Bai Mo was stunned.

"Your ax looks scary. It turns out you are just a guy. Other scholars are equipped with swords, but you are equipped with a big axe." The old woodcutter's eyes twitched, his beard twitched, and he said in disgust, "That's all, scholars are not diligent in their limbs. You should just rest quietly."

Bai Mo's face turned red and he felt a little ashamed. He then realized that the big locust tree was afraid of the old woodcutter. To him, it was still as hard as gold and iron.

The old woodcutter was strong and strong, and his iron ax kept chopping. He could cut into a foot deep with just one move of the axe.

At this time, the big locust tree shook for a moment, and its branches and leaves were visibly withered.

"Something's wrong!" The old woodcutter stopped and looked strange.

"Old sir?" Bai Mo stepped forward and asked doubtfully.

The old woodcutter rolled his eyes twice, with a trace of confusion on his face, and gritted his teeth and said, "This tree looks big, but it is easy to chop. It is no better than a dead tree. It can be chopped down in just half a day."

He took out the three taels of silver in his arms, paused, took out only two taels, and said, "This old man won't take advantage of you either."

Bai Mo was dumbfounded, shook his head and said with a smile, "How can the agreed price be changed? Old gentleman, just keep it."

"This is not because I am greedy for money." The old woodcutter showed joy on his face and rubbed his hands. He was too embarrassed to rest for a long time and was busy cutting down the big locust tree.

After half a day.

As the old woodcutter's iron ax fell, the already shaky big locust tree could no longer hold on and crashed to the ground.

The fog in the forest dissipated completely without realizing it, the sky was as clear as blue, and the mountains in the distance could be seen as far as the eye could see.

"Then, after the trees are cut down, I will leave first?" the old woodcutter asked in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

"Well, take care, old gentleman." Bai Mo didn't stop him and said goodbye.

Not long after, the old woodcutter's figure disappeared into the forest.Bai Mo turned around and came to the tree stump to take a closer look. He saw that at the fracture, there were more than a thousand tree rings densely packed. He was amazed, "This tree has lived for thousands of years. No wonder it is so thick and has all kinds of special features. It's so fast." It’s become a sperm.”

He casually slapped the tree, leaving an inch-deep palm print, but he was a little puzzled, "A thousand-year-old tree is supposed to be as hard as gold and iron, but why is it so fragile, like a weed and a dead tree."

Li He guessed, "The locust tree grows very fast. The century-old locust tree is about five or six feet thick, but I have never heard of anything strange about it. Maybe the tree has become like this due to other reasons."

There was a crawling sound, and Bai Mo looked for it, only to find a flying wood centipede emerging from a pile of dead leaves, circling around a section of the tree to eat.

"Brother Mo, split it open and take a look, maybe there is something there." Li He stared at the tree, thoughtfully.

Bai Mo nodded slightly, strode forward, picked up the flying wood centipede and put it aside.

Feimu Centipede didn't resist, but just watched the tree body shaking its tentacles.

Bai Mo turned the ax in his hand, aimed it at the tree and slashed it down hard. It sank nearly three feet into the tree in an instant, effortlessly, and it seemed to be a world of difference from its previous tenacity.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Under the force of eight to nine hundred kilograms, the tree body was split open like a piece of wood, revealing a section of the green tree heart, three inches long and one inch thick.

As soon as the green tree heart appeared, the flying wood centipede immediately became restless, crawled very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was entangled in the tree heart and started chewing.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Mo always felt that the flying wood centipede had eaten the heart of the tree, and its carapace became darker, like jasper.

After a while, the heart of the wood was torn apart by the flying wood centipede, and a bright red ball rolled out from it.

"This is this?" Bai Mo picked up the bright red ball and looked at it. The ball was only about the size of a thumb, about the same size as an ordinary pill. It had a wooden texture on its surface and had a faint green glow.

"Woooooo!" On the shoulder, the little black dog's nose twitched, smelling Muwan's breath, his eyes suddenly widened, a few drops of saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he looked at Bai Mo pitifully.

Bai Mo sniffed lightly, and a strong smell of blood poured into his nose. The blood flow in his body seemed to speed up. He frowned slightly and covered his mouth and nose with his hands. This thing smelled extremely fishy. He didn't know how Xiao Hei could do it. Love this stuff.

He thought of the vines spreading into the coffin and the rotting corpse hiding underneath, and suddenly felt a little nauseous, so he handed it to Xiao Hei.

The little black dog wagged its tail and swallowed it without any politeness.

The next moment, the little black dog's face was stunned. A surging and violent force was pouring out of his belly, swelling his whole body, and even his head was a lot heavier.

The little black dog quickly jumped down from Bai Mo's shoulder, stuck out its tongue, flicked it, and ran wildly in the forest, lap after lap, getting faster and faster, with the sound of the wind.

Bai Mo's eyes showed surprise as he watched Xiao Hei's head visibly grow in size. In a short time, it was as big as a wooden bucket. He could even hear the sound of blood flowing in Xiao Hei's body, making a gurgling sound, like the rapids of a river.

"After Xiao Hei eats the eggshell crumbs, his body will be very strong and it shouldn't be exploded." He felt resentful in his heart. If he ate it, he would probably explode with a bang and no residue would be left.

At the same time, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, "What on earth is this wooden pill? It has such an effect. Could it be that the reason why this locust tree is so fragile is because it gave birth to this wooden pill? Among other locust trees?" Are there any too?”

Swish! !

Xiao Hei suddenly rushed past him, kicking up a burst of dust and almost blinding his eyes. Bai Mo's face darkened and he quickly took a few steps back.
