Chapter 510: Immortal Liquid

A spiritual item, and a mascot.

Ou Yangming instantly recalled the sleeping spirit turtle inside his Long Feather Band, and he could not help but have a strange look on his face.

Big Yellow stole the Tree of Splendour, and the Aquatics’ spirit beast that invaded the lower realm this time was a mascot. Most importantly, Ou Yangming was now in possession of the plant, and the spirit turtle was being kept in his Long Feather Band. ‘Isn’t everything too coincidental?’

The young fellow shook his head and cast aside the thought.

Based on his identity and abilities, perhaps he was considered almighty in this realm. Nonetheless, he knew after experiencing a Venerable One’s aura that he could not contend with such a figure from the upper realm even if he used all of his trump cards.

If that was the case, Ou Yangming did not believe that an Almighty Being from the upper realm was scheming something against him.

‘Maybe all of this is really just a coincidence.’

He curbed his thought and asked, “Lil’ Red, what should we do?”

“Since you have a spirit turtle, you can just put it on the turtle’s back.” The little red bird blinked and added, “Let it absorb the spirit turtle’s auspicious aura, and it should release immortal liquid. The liquid has endless magical effects, and I’m looking forward to it…”

“Woof…” Big Yellow barked as it was displeased.

The big yellow dog was the one that stole… No, acquired the treasure. Therefore, it was discontent about giving it away.

“Stop having wishful thinking. If we let you swallow the Tree of Splendour into your stomach again, it’ll surely be wasted. Hmph, I can’t waste such a treasure!”

Big Yellow blinked. It knew it could not offend the little red bird, hence it could only look at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming could not stand it when he looked at the pitiful dog.

The little bird immediately shouted, “I know what you’re thinking. Hmph, as long as the Tree of Splendour releases immortal liquid, you’ll definitely get one drop of it.”

Big Yellow’s eyes lit up right away. It jumped with excitement and circled Ou Yangming while it softly urged the young fellow to begin the process.

Ou Yangming glared at the fellow snappily and shook his head. As he shook his wrist, a peculiar light flashed on his Long Feather Band, and it enveloped the Tree of Splendour at once. Next, the plant turned into a light and entered the world inside the band.

The world was opened up by the little red bird through its gifted ability. In actuality, the bird was not capable enough to create such a vast world yet, but natural gifts were sometimes unreasonable. Other than being envious, ordinary people could neither understand nor learn it.

In the end, the band was in Ou Yangming’s possession, and he had control over it due to the little red bird’s motion.

Under the command of Ou Yangming’s great mental power, the Tree of Splendour did not land anywhere after entering the band but floated in mid-air.

Inside the unique space, the lazy spirit turtle was sound asleep in the seawater, which it was almost fully submerged in. Ou Yangming had intentionally controlled the water such that it did not totally cover the turtle but provided enough sleeping space for it.

At this moment, Ou Yangming fully focused on the spirit turtle’s massive back.

The seawater had covered nearly half of the turtle’s back, but the other half that was exposed was more than enough.

With a flash of thought, the floating Tree of Splendour descended bit by bit and eventually landed on the turtle’s back. There were many gaps on the turtle’s back, thus the inverted pyramid easily found a spot to be rooted in.

The instant the Tree of Splendour landed on the turtle’s shell, Ou Yangming sensed surging energy in the air, and it was incredibly odd. The power was not forceful, but it could move a person or give one palpitation.

Ou Yangming blinked several times and thought about the words “tacit understanding” and “fitting”.

It seemed like the Tree of Splendour and the spirit turtle were made for each other. Their auras coincided with each other so well that they did not give off a feeling of distinction when they were connected. If it had to be described, it was similar to the relationship between the Military Fire and the little red bird inside Ou Yangming’s body.

“Hey, what’s all this about?” The little red bird blinked and found it strange. It found out from its bloodline inheritance that the Tree of Splendour should be matched with a mascot, but it was surprised that the two would be such a great fit for each other.

Ou Yangming pondered and asked the little bird in return with a smile, “Since they’re able to become like this, what are you not satisfied with?”

‘I’m only finding it strange because it’s too satisfying,’ the little red bird tilted its head and thought, but it would not expose its shame in front of Ou Yangming.

“Hmph, of course I’m satisfied, but I’m more eager to see it release the immortal liquid.” The little red bird flapped its wings and flew from Ou Yangming’s shoulder to his other shoulder. “It tastes very good, and I can’t wait!”

“You’ve eaten it before?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

“No.” The little red bird shook its head and explained, “But it’s recorded in my inherited memories as something tasty.”

Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh as he shook his head, but he somehow also had the thought to try what the immortal liquid tasted like.

All of a sudden, the little red bird shouted, “Ah, ah, ah, it cracked!”

The young fellow was dumbfounded, and he quickly gathered his mental power to sense the space inside his band. The space was refined from the little red bird’s natural gift so apart from him, only the bird could peek inside. At this moment, it seemed like there was only one thing that could make the little bird so shocked and fiery.

Big Yellow widened its eyes and seemed to know what was happening, hence it anxiously wanted to see the situation inside the interspatial band. Nevertheless, the space inside had an unordinary origin, so there was nothing the big yellow dog could do. As such, it could only go in circles around Ou Yangming and could not settle down.

An expansive space could be found inside the interspatial band. The Tree of Splendour that had just been planted by Ou Yangming on the turtle’s back suddenly expanded, and it was strange because the inverted pyramid began spinning as though an invisible power was controlling everything.

In actual fact, Ou Yangming and the little red bird knew it was not their doing; everything was the Tree of Splendour’s spontaneous behavior.

“Quick, quick! This is the indication that the Tree of Splendour will soon secrete the immortal liquid, so quickly get something to catch it and don’t waste it!” The little red bird yelled impatiently.

Without the little red bird’s instruction, Ou Yangming had already shaken his other wrist to retrieve several jade bottles from another interspatial bag. He had prepared the bottles in advance. Although they were not initially meant to store the marvelous immortal liquid, they could be used for this purpose at this moment.

With a flash of thought, the jade bottles entered the space inside the band. Following that, their caps were automatically opened, and they lined up beside the pyramid.

In the real world, Ou Yangming could not have done this even if he had remarkable mental power. This was because the energy needed to be consumed to instantiate mental power would be enormous. Having said that, the space in the band seemed to have a wonderful connection with him. When the young fellow used his mental power, instead of yielding twice the effect by doing half the work, he was assisted such that the effect was at least more than several times.

At this point, Ou Yangming truly admired the little red bird’s gift.

He did not know how much immortal liquid would be secreted but in order not to waste the precious treasure, he could only prepare more bottles in the space just in case.

The pyramid slowly turned red. Even though it did not become hotter, it released another unforgettable magic power.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming sensed the intense energy fluctuation from the Tree of Splendour. The fluctuation was extremely interesting and fast, by which it arrived at the peak as soon as it appeared. Subsequently, a drop of liquid was released from the pyramid.

Ou Yangming was well-prepared, thus one of the jade bottles flashed and caught the immortal perfectly.

After the first drop of immortal liquid, the valve seemed to have been opened as drop after drop spurted out from the pyramid. The drops of liquid were given out at different frequencies, where over 10 drops could be released continuously if the process was fast. If there were insufficient follow-ups, only one drop would be shot out once in every 10 breaths.

Ou Yangming and the little red bird focused their mental powers inside the Long Feather Band. In particular, the latter seemed to be more anxious than the former. Despite that, when the young fellow handed it the first bottle of immortal liquid, the little bird refused to accept it without any hesitation. It was far more interested in the collection of the immortal liquid than the liquid itself.

At last, the pyramid stopped shooting immortal liquid after half an hour, and it leisurely became inverted again.

Ou Yangming observed carefully for some time and noticed that the Tree of Splendour’s roots and canes had entered the gaps on the spirit turtle’s back. His sensing ability was greater inside this unique space, so he could sense the turtle releasing queer energies, which merged with the tree as if they were inseparable.

Anyone would be astonished upon seeing this.

Sure enough, nature’s creation had infinite possibilities.

Ou Yangming curbed his mental power and gently waved his wrist, causing a row of jade bottles to appear in front of him.

All of the jade bottles contained immortal liquid but some of them only carried 1 drop while some had 10 drops. As the young fellow opened the cap of one of the bottles, a distinctive smell spread in the air.

The fragrance had an incredibly apparent trait; it was not rich but faint.

If Ou Yangming and the others were not mentally prepared, they might not have noticed it at all.

That said, regardless if they were paying attention, they still felt refreshed at that instant. Especially after taking a few deep breaths, they felt like they had just slept for 3 days and 3 nights, and they were so full of vigor that it could not be put into words.

The little red bird blinked its large eyes and screamed abruptly, “Close it! Quickly close it! Don’t let it emit light!”
