CH 907

As Su Jing was observing the plants, he was drawn to a strange one that had just sprouted up. It was originally just a small bud, less than two centimeters tall, and it was a bright green color. 

As it grew taller, the green gradually disappeared, replaced by a copper color. The plant had branches but no leaves, and if it weren’t for the fact that its roots were wrapped in soil and still growing, Su Jing might have thought it was a bronze sculpture rather than a plant.

The other plants were growing very fast, most of them reaching a height of more than half a meter. Even those that did not grow tall developed horizontally and grew significantly. 

Only the copper-colored plant grew extremely slowly, and when it reached a height of ten centimeters, it began to grow even faster.

Su Jing reached out to touch the copper-colored plant and was surprised to find that it was hot to the touch. He quickly withdrew his hand, otherwise, it might have burned up by the plant. The plant felt very hard, just like real copper.

“What kind of tree is this? It’s so strange,” Su Jing said to himself, his curiosity piqued. He decided to pull out the “Copper Tree” and use the skeleton head to accelerate its growth time. 

As he watched the plant grow, he was even more surprised to find that it did not need to be watered. In fact, when it was watered, it seemed to wilt and die. If it was not watered, it was full of vitality, but it still grew very slowly. 

After being accelerated for a full ten years, it was still less than half a meter tall.

However, as the plant grew, it became hotter and hotter, until finally, with a loud bang, a flame burst out from its leafless branches. The flame continued to burn, showing no tendency to burn out or be extinguished.

“This tree is really weird,” Su Jing said to himself, shocked by the unexpected development. He had no idea what kind of tree it was or what it could be used for. 

The tree grew too slowly to be practical, and continuing to cultivate it would take too much time and Live Soil. 

Su Jing knew that he couldn’t afford to devote all his resources to it and that he had other, more pressing tasks to attend to, such as disposing of the huge piles of garbage. He reluctantly decided to put the copper tree aside for now and focus on other things.

Su Jing sent the copper tree, giant flower, and other plants into the ecology space and he prepared himself to continue sorting through the other garbage.

What Su Jing didn’t notice was that after everything had settled down in the ecology space, an eye suddenly appeared in the center of the giant flower.

…

The appearance of the huge earthworms, ants, flowers, and the burning tree had made Su Jing realize that the garbage was not from the ancient times of the earth and that the world it came from was likely much more complex than he had originally thought. 

He was excited to see what other strange and unusual items might appear in the piles of garbage. Su Jing went directly to the pile of paper garbage and began sorting through it. 

He started with the lifeforms, as they had the potential to cause harm, persecution, or death and should be dealt with first, and then he moved on to text information, as it was easier to judge the source of the garbage through text than through other means.

However, as Su Jing was passing by a pile of metal trash, he was involuntarily drawn to it and stopped to take a closer look. 

He shook the pile using his spiritual force and a large, bluish-yellow, cracked brick flew out from a rusty, broken sword and floated in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise. 

The azure color on it was made of some moss, and the yellow color appeared to be similar to gold.

“Damn, I’ve never seen such a large gold brick before. And, looking at the traces of moss on it, it’s not a gold brick made for storage, but one that was actually used to build walls,” Su Jing said to himself with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Although the gold brick appeared to have been broken by some violent impact, it was still gold after all. Who would throw such precious metal away as trash? 

Su Jing used his spiritual force to sweep through all the piles of garbage, making a rough inspection of the contents. One by one, the floating objects were controlled by him and flew to his feet. 

Among them were a broken eaves tile made of sapphire, a huge broken wooden pillar made of Gold-Rimmed Nanmu wood, and a gold brick used for building walls. 

These finds indicated that gold, sapphire, and precious woods were common materials in the world where this pile of garbage came from and that this world was likely much more complex and advanced than he had previously thought. 

Su Jing was so amazed by these discoveries that he couldn’t wait to learn more about the world where they came from.

“Hmm?” Su Jing’s spiritual force suddenly detected an energy fluctuation. He controlled his spiritual force to follow the wave, diving into the garbage pile and pulling out something that looked like an azure bead. 

It was not very round and its appearance was rough, making it look more like an ordinary stone than anything else. If it weren’t for the energy fluctuation it emitted, Su Jing probably would not have paid any attention to it at all. 

He examined the bead more closely, wondering what it could be used for. It seemed to be a relatively simple object, but the energy fluctuation it emitted indicated that it might have some special properties or abilities. 

“What is this?” Su Jing was very puzzled by the azure bead. To be on the safe side, he controlled a mouse to touch the bead, and after seeing that the mouse was unharmed, he grabbed the bead in his own hand. 

It was cold to the touch and had the same weight and texture as a stone. Upon closer inspection, Su Jing noticed a thin crack running almost all the way around the bead. 

Although it was not obvious, it almost circled the bead, and it looked as if it was splitting into two halves.

Su Jing studied the bead for a while, but couldn’t figure out what it was or what it was used for. He decided to call the Little White Mouse over and have it use its Stand-Ability to repair the bead. 

He thought that such a small crack should be easily repaired, as the Little White Mouse’s repairing ability was constantly growing. 

Now, it could even repair a broken sculpture of a person’s height within an hour, so a small crack in a bead should take less than a minute to repair.
