CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: CENTENNIAL SPIRIT FRUIT, TIER 3 FOUR-STAR

The sullen man and the short man were taken away, awaiting the most rigorous interrogation by the Golden Oak Tribe.

Elves are a peace-loving race, kind but never weak.

For those villains who harm their elven kin, they do not hesitate to use the most brutal means against them.

"Qin, thank you."

Alon thanked him again, guessing that Qin Tian might have gotten into trouble because of this, and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

"It’s nothing."

Qin Tian smiled; he didn’t want trouble but wasn’t afraid of it.

The sullen man abducting the elf maiden must have a wealthy and influential buyer in the background and must have smoothed relations with the military.

He had disrupted their plan, shattered many people’s dreams of getting rich, so trouble was bound to come.

But so what?

He came for the Elf Sacred Land, Silver Moon Lake, which meant he had to forge a good relationship with the Elf Race, and this incident was a great start.

If the buyer wanted revenge, let them come.

He didn’t mind adding a few more souls before his gun or under his blade, while also collecting Evolution Points and Talent Light Spheres.

As for the military, there was no need to worry; did they think his status as a Colonel of the Seventh Bureau was for show?

He wasn’t one to trouble others without reason.

If someone dared to reach out, the internal inspection’s Great Saber would definitely fall upon them, and they’d obediently eat prison food from then on.

"Qin, the Golden Oak Tribe never neglects its friends."

Alon seriously said, "I will apply to the clan leader to give you the highest honors."

"Oh?"

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then I have something to look forward to."

The little episode ended

But neither the elves nor the humans could easily calm their minds

Everyone realized that the seemingly inexperienced and somewhat immature Qin Tian was not as simple as they had imagined.

"Qin Tian, how did you find those two?"

Xing Fei couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Tian explained it simply by saying he found them by going in the opposite direction.

However, the forest environment is extremely complex; even a slight deviation in direction could mean they would never cross paths.

"Want to know?"

Qin Tian said with a smile, "I can tell you, but are you sure you want to wade into these troubled waters? Knowing too much, aren’t you afraid of reprisals?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Fei’s heart skipped a beat, indeed, perhaps Qin Tian had the confidence to protect himself, but she was just the most ordinary spiritualist, with no background, relying on herself for everything.

If she knew too much, those enraged individuals might include her in their list.

Though she thought this, for some reason, looking at Qin Tian, she involuntarily said:

"Will you protect me then?"

Qin Tian: ???

Ms. Xing, you are acting odd

"Haha, right now I can barely take care of myself, let alone protect others."

Qin Tian patted Xing Fei’s shoulder and said, "That’s why some things are better left unknown."

After saying this, Qin Tian walked away, leaving a desolate person in the forest with a sigh.

......

"Qin Tian, you ruined my plans, just wait, you’ll die miserably!"

As soon as he returned to the treehouse, Qin Tian received an anonymous threatening text message.

"Oh, dare to threaten me?"

Qin Tian immediately reported the matter to Yan Qing, asking the Seventh Bureau to conduct a thorough internal investigation of the Elf Star Space Fleet to see who was colluding with external forces to try to abduct the elf maiden.

He didn’t pay much mind to the threat message, sitting on the bed, taking out the gift Alon had given him.

A leaf, a fruit.

Every year, the Ancient Golden Oak Tree bears leaves and fruit infused with Spiritual Power, yet some leaves and fruits do not fall but continue to grow on the tree for a hundred or even hundreds of years.

What Alon gave him was a five-hundred-year-old Golden Oak Leaf and a three-hundred-year-old Golden Oak Acorn.

The Golden Oak Leaf shone with a glass-like luster, with liquid-gold-like micro-light flowing between its vein patterns, and cloud-like spirit patterns swirling on its surface. Whenever Spiritual Power touched it, the entire leaf unfurled like wings, exuding a refreshing scent of sandalwood and cedar, as if condensing the purest essence of a millennia-old forest.

The Golden Oak Acorn’s surface was covered with coral-like gold patterns, and its top embedded with an amber crystal core, like solidified sunlight. The outer skin had a silk-like matte texture, with refracted light revealing faint internal veins, like golden blood flowing in the Life Fruit’s vessels.

Due to the [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] that could enhance the effect of any soul-type treasures by 100%, Qin Tian first placed the Golden Oak Leaf in his mouth.

A cool liquid gold flow slipped down his throat into his meridians. The next moment, his consciousness suddenly plunged into a golden forest, with countless glowing oak roots spreading in the void, while moonlight streaming between canopies congealed into leaf-shaped runes, gently adhering to the surface of his soul.

Some mental pollution lingering outside his soul, like frost under scorching sunlight, sizzled and turned into smoke, dissipating.

Under the nourishment of the Golden Oak Leaf, his Spiritual Power gradually increased.

Once the entire leaf was fully integrated into his soul, nearly thirty percent of the mental pollution had dissipated, and his Spiritual Power had increased by more than twenty percent.

One must know, after obtaining [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority], his Spiritual Power had surged dozens of times, making this twenty percent increase quite remarkable.

Moreover, the Golden Oak Leaf had expelled a portion of the mental pollution, which made Qin Tian even more eager for the Golden Oak Fruit.

Crunch~

The moment he bit into the Golden Oak Acorn, the amber-colored Life Core seemingly wriggled into his throat like a living creature, and he felt as though he had fallen into a pool of life, with surging Life Force boiling within him, blending with the residual life force of the Azure Wood Life Pill, transforming and restructuring his body.

Bone, muscle, meridian, blood, skin... all were continually strengthened under the refinement of life force. The pure energy contained within the fruit merged with Spiritual Energy, forming a new Star Source, smoothly advancing his Spiritual Ability Level to Tier Three Three Stars.

However, the momentum wasn’t finished.

When the fruit’s energy was fully absorbed, another Star Source successfully condensed.

Thus, Qin Tian consecutively broke through two stars, becoming a Tier Three Four Stars spiritualist.

"Hehe, it was worth helping out."

Qin Tian’s lips curled up slightly. The Centennial Golden Oak Leaf and Golden Oak Acorn enhanced his Spiritual Power, Physical Strength, and Spiritual Ability Level, while also dispelling a portion of the Power of Curse from his body, freeing his combat power once more.

He could sense that the residual Life Force from the Azure Wood Life Pill within him hadn’t weakened; instead, it had become more robust and exuberant due to the Golden Oak Acorn, suppressing the spread of the Power of Curse.

The demon patterns on his chest faded a little more, which meant that perhaps in the future, he wouldn’t need to enter Silver Moon Lake to fully eradicate the Curse of the Evil God through some means.

"Trouble, huh."

Qin Tian gazed out the window, his super-hearing picked up the sounds of the sullen man and the short man being beaten and crying out in pain.

"This kind of trouble, I want as much as possible."
