C74 The Cimicifuge of the Sunburn Tree

The Tiangyou City's Qin family?

After muttering those words, Su Baichen's brows also tightened into a square.

It was just as Qin Shaojie had guessed. All these years, he had been stuck at the bottom of this small island near the Sacred Heart Lake. Su Baichen had even made the preparations to be lonely on this small island for a long time.

It was just that he had never expected Qin Shaojie to actually see through it.

"Even the Imperial Family wouldn't know."

After taking in a deep breath, Su Baichen said with a heavy heart after a long while. How could someone at his level not understand the relationship between the Tiangyou City's Qin family and the imperial family? He just did not expect that the Qin Shaojie here today was from the Tiangyou City's Qin family.

Seeing Su Baichen's appearance, Qin Shaojie's eyes also flickered slightly. The outside world had long heard that the Qin family in Tiangyou City had a deep relationship with the Imperial Family, and Su Baichen's attitude now seemed to indicate this point. He hadn't thought that the Qin family, which was sitting in a corner, wouldn't be as simple as he thought.

"Hur hur, tell me, how did you figure it out?"

Clearly, Su Baichen didn't think that the Qin family or the others had told Qin Shaojie in advance. After all, he had read countless numbers of people, and the youth in front of his eyes and his peers had a mature feeling that was completely incompatible, so Su Baichen didn't feel the slightest bit of cowardice or immaturity from him, as if everything that was happening was under his control. That kind of confidence that came from the depths of his bones.

If he had been the one to crack the ancient array and realized that he was also trapped here, then he would have to reevaluate this youth.

"If I'm not wrong, this tree should be a Sunburn Tree."

Qin Shaojie pointed at the trees above their heads that were blooming with flowers and spoke slowly. When he said the Sunburn Tree s, even Su Baichen was startled.

Not to mention Qin Shaojie, even the royal family and the Holy Flame Academy s didn't know where this tree came from, and even more so, didn't know what exactly this tree was. Back then, if it wasn't for his master telling him this secret on his deathbed, even he wouldn't have known about it.

This Sunburn Tree is one of the secrets of the entire Holy Flame Academy, even the Principal would never know about it.

When she looked back into Qin Shaojie's eyes, there was already a hint of killing intent flickering in them.

No one in the Sunburn Tree knew the secret better than him. If this information were to be leaked, it would be a disaster for the entire Holy Flame Academy! Not to mention Qin Shaojie was just one of the three psycho s, even if the nine psycho s were to pay attention to this Sunburn Tree, he would ruthlessly destroy it.

"Looks like it really is a Sunburn Tree. I never thought that there would actually be such a rare item in the Holy Flame Academy." Feeling the faint killing intent from Su Baichen's body, Qin Shaojie was not worried at all. On the contrary, his expression became more serious.

Once the Sunburn Tree has reached a certain age, it would be possible for it to produce fire-like flowers. These flowers were not just beautiful, but they would continuously release the purest profound energy of the heaven and earth.

If one was able to absorb this profound energy, then it would definitely bring about twice the results with half the effort for cultivators. Previously, there were countless people who wished to obtain a Sunburn Tree. After all, the profound energy produced by the blossoming flowers of the Fire Sunburn Tree was more than a hundred times purer and richer than normal profound energy of heaven and earth!

It only grew up above the Heaven and Earth profound veins, and it absorbed the profound energy within the profound veins to feed itself, so, where there were Sunburn Tree, there would normally be a Heaven and Earth profound veins. This kind of place was the place the true large sects and imperial families chose to live. After all, even without Sunburn Tree, a single Heaven and Earth profound veins was enough to allow a sect and the Imperial Family to nurture countless experts, and could also ensure their prosperity for a thousand years.

In Qin Shaojie's memories, there had never been a record of a Heaven and Earth profound veins, so if that was true, it only meant that the Holy Flame Academy had kept this secret extremely well.

No wonder Su Baichen had the intention to kill.

The entire Great Yan Dynasty did not know, but even if someone saw the Sunburn Tree, they would not be able to know what it was. They could only treat it like a strange tree.

However, Qin Shaojie was different. The things he had seen before were too excessive. Let alone Sunburn Tree s, he had even seen many treasures that were even more precious than Sunburn Tree s.

Sighing, this Holy Flame Academy was still quite dense with nature's profound energy, but it was far from the level of the profound energy released by a real Sunburn Tree, not to mention that Qin Shaojie had actually discovered here that the nature's profound energy around the Sunburn Tree was not as pure or thick as the surrounding profound energy.

Obviously, there was a problem with the Sunburn Tree, and it was not a small problem.

Everything in the world had a life and death, and death as well. This was originally a process, a process that could not be reversed.

If a Sunburn Tree reached the late stage, it was natural that it would die as well. And when it reached the late stage of Yang Tree's lifeline, it would not produce any profound energy of the heaven and earth until it turned into rotten wood and completely disappeared.

"What else do you know?"

Qin Shaojie's words caused Su Lao's body to uncontrollably tremble a little. Not a single word Qin Shaojie said were lies, he even understood it a lot better than he did. After all these years, no one was clearer than him on the changes in Sunburn Tree. It was just that they never thought that the youth that appeared before them would be able to see so many things in a short amount of time.

"If the Sunburn Tree is only withered, it's not a big deal. It could only mean that the profound veins was shrinking, and this place was also about to become an ordinary place.

But if this explanation is used, then it would clearly be unable to explain why the profound energy around the Sunburn Tree is so thin, and not as thick as the outside world. "

"If I'm not wrong, this Sunburn Tree is not truly exhausted of its lifespan, but it has suffered some sort of injury. Furthermore, once the Sunburn Tree has been injured and the profound veins below has not decayed, then the profound energy within the profound veins will be communicated and leaked through other means. "

"Therefore, in your current situation, you should be trying to use your life force to feed the Sunburn Tree and try to wake it up so that it can maintain its lifeline. Otherwise, once the Sunburn Tree completely dies, the secrets of the entire profound veins will not be hidden anymore."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie enunciated every word without any hesitation.

The influence of profound veins s on the world was just too great. If one obtained profound veins s and made good use of their profound energy, it might not even take a hundred years to create a powerful sect. This was no longer a temptation that the so-called students and the dynasty could suppress. Once one became a sect, they would be able to command over a hundred dynasties. Their territory was extremely vast, and their resources were quite crazy.

If this secret were to be leaked, not to mention the Holy Flame Academy, even the entire Great Yan Dynasty would suffer a calamity.

A single profound veins was enough to cause a great calamity!

Furthermore, the profound veins contained the energy of heaven and earth, so it was extremely possible for many unimaginable treasures to appear.

If that was the case, then everything could be explained. The reason why the ancient ruins appeared in the Holy Flame Academy was not by chance, but probably because of the profound veins.

Once the was fed with life force, a certain relationship would be established between the Sunburn Tree and it would mean that the Sunburn Tree would only absorb its life force until it completely sucked this person's life force dry. Only then would it be possible to exchange the Sunburn Tree for another person's life force to absorb.

And because he had established this connection, Su Baichen was unable to leave the small island, because once he left, the Sunburn Tree would do everything it could to follow him. When the Sunburn Tree left the island in the Sacred Heart Lake, the profound veins's Qi would be unable to block it.

Therefore, this was the reason why Su Lao was trapped.

He could not leave but had to use his own life force to feed the Sunburn Tree.

Thinking to this point, and looking at Su Lao, the depths of Qin Shaojie's eyes also revealed a hint of sympathy and admiration.

The saddest thing in this world was not life or death, but the despair of being trapped here and never being able to leave. Perhaps the reason why he wanted to recruit students, was because he still wanted to let the world know of his own existence, or perhaps it was because he wanted to choose a student who, like him, could quietly protect the entire Holy Flame Academy in the end.

However, without a doubt, it was a difficult choice for him.

After all, as long as one stayed here and chose to protect this destiny, it meant that everything would stay on this island.

No one understood, and even the Holy Flame Academy was not clear on this.

"How did you know?"

The current Su Lao was no longer able to conceal the shock and turmoil in his heart. Everything was as Qin Shaojie said, but how did he know?

"I've read too many books, so I'm clear now."

Qin Shaojie naturally did not say that he had the memories of his previous life, and immediately made up a reason. Because he knew, the focus right now wasn't on how he knew about all these things, but the attitude of the Su Lao!

After all, at this time, an enormous pressure had already completely enveloped Qin Shaojie!
