Rong Kexiong, who was attached to the body of the Wood Spirit Body Curse Spiritist, had no intention of interfering with it. He quietly lay in wait, observing every move of the spirit body.
He wanted to figure out what kind of mutation had occurred in this spirit body.
At this moment, the body of the Wood Spirit Body Curse Spiritist was surrounded by green light, which transformed into countless threads entwining the ancient tree beside it.
Perhaps because of the shadowy form, Rong Kexiong, although not interfering with the spirit body, could sense any subtle changes in its body.
Right now, he could sense that an indescribable powerful force was being released from the ancient tree, continuously transmitted to the spirit body through the interconnected green light.
Moreover, after receiving this power, the spirit body seemed to have undergone a significant change.
The spirit body was a human-shaped energy body formed by the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although it maintained a human form, it was because Rong Kexiong had used himself as a reference when shaping it.
The true spirit body could transform into all species in the world.
During the battle with Gu Wen, this mid-stage Spirit Master had once used a secret technique to briefly transform into a powerful tree person.
Although the combat power of this tree person was not great and was largely broken by the True Gang Fist of the Spirit Body Fighter, it was already a significant improvement and supplement for the frail body of a Spiritist.
However, such a transformation was absolutely beyond the reach of a Spiritist at the Scholar level.
Before they advanced to the Spirit Master level, it was something they could only dream of.
But the situation with the spirit body was different.
Looking at the current appearance of the Wood Spirit Body, Rong Kexiong's heart began to become excited.
He had a vague premonition that after the battle with Gu Wen, the spirit body had gained new insights, leading to this incredible transformation.
As the spirit body drew more and more power from the ancient tree, the spiritual energy within it became increasingly solid and heavy, even rising to new levels.
Of course, as its spiritual energy changed, its body also began to transform into a tree person.
However, the ancient tree from which it drew power seemed to be in trouble.
The surface of the ancient tree turned gray and dark, and the lush branches and leaves seemed to lose their vitality, with leaves falling from the air, all of them withered and shriveled.
This situation lasted for about an hour, and then a brilliant light burst forth from the body of the Wood Spirit Body Curse Spiritist.
This was the instant explosion after the green light had become extremely concentrated.
"Boom..."
Infinite power spread out in all directions through the green light.
It was like a spring rain sprinkling over the ground for dozens of yards.
In the next moment, something that left Rong Kexiong incredibly astonished happened. When the green light fell to the ground, all the vegetation within the range began to burst with vitality.
The grass on the ground grew rapidly, and the ancient tree that had provided boundless life force to the spirit body also changed from its previous state of decline, exuding a vast and unimaginable vitality, with dense new green leaves sprouting on its branches.
It seemed that in just an instant, it not only made up for all the consumption but also made significant progress.
Rong Kexiong watched this miraculous scene with wide eyes, and at this moment, he suddenly had a profound realization.
The curses of Spiritists were all powerful, possessing destructive forces.
However, the other side of destruction was growth, and the other side of darkness was light.
The power of the Five Elements could indeed destroy everything, but if used properly, it could also bestow life.
For a moment, his heart surged, as if he had gained some insight. However, his accumulation was far from enough, and although he had some understanding, he was still far from the true path of life and death.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds startled him out of his insight.
Rong Kexiong then realized that this sound was coming from the body of the Wood Spirit Body Curse Spiritist.
This guy's body kept changing, and finally, it successfully transformed into a tree person. More surprisingly, the aura it emitted indicated that it had advanced again.
Rong Kexiong drew a sharp breath. The power that a Spiritist could release was indeed much stronger than that of a Warrior in some ways. However, the difficulty of advancing for a Spiritist was also much greater than that of a Warrior.
Although he had left the spirit body curse spiritist in the mountains, he had never expected their advancement speed to catch up with that of the spirit body fighters.
However, it now seemed that as long as the right direction was found, the advancement speed of these spirit body curse spiritists would not be inferior to that of the spirit body fighters.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Following this strange sound, the branches and leaves on the tree person's body spread out, turning into long vines that began to entwine in all directions.
Rong Kexiong's eyes lit up; he was quite familiar with these vines.
During the battle with Gu Wen, this guy had released these vines, which had caused him great trouble.
Under the entanglement of these vines, a large number of spirit body fighters were killed without any resistance. If he had not had the phoenix-shaped pendant given by his senior sister, his fate would have been equally tragic.
At first, the long vines evolved by the tree person were somewhat clumsy, but in just a moment, they became incredibly flexible under its control, like a group of venomous snakes weaving through the forest.
Rong Kexiong sighed inwardly. The spirit body was indeed a spirit body. After witnessing the power of Gu Wen, although it did not obtain the corresponding curse, it had found a shortcut and evolved into a kind of instinctive power.
After nearly half an hour, the Wood Spirit Body Curse Spiritist finally retracted the vines with satisfaction.
Its form wavered slightly, transforming from a tree person back into a human shape.
The combat power of the tree person was indeed much stronger than that of the human form, but its movement speed was far from commendable.
The spirit body curse spiritist could not root itself in one place, so when moving, it naturally had to transform its form to maximize its power.
Rong Kexiong's consciousness slowly withdrew. Although he could not master this transformation, being able to witness this scene was already a great benefit to him.
However, just as his consciousness was about to completely withdraw, a surge of information suddenly came from the Wood Spirit Body Curse Spiritist.
Rong Kexiong was taken aback. He silently accepted it, and a look of wild joy gradually appeared on his face.
This spirit body curse spiritist had completely transmitted its recent insights, including the techniques for transforming into a tree person and releasing the vines.
After carefully reading it several times, Rong Kexiong felt both joy and regret.
The transformation of the spirit body into a tree person greatly enhanced its survival and close combat abilities, which was a great benefit. However, Rong Kexiong was not a spirit body, and without mastering more powerful forces or similar curses, he could not use the spirit body's method of transformation.
This was the greatest regret.
However, the ability of the spirit body to release vines, he could completely use.
This was a kind of ability that the spirit body had learned from Gu Wen and the world, completely different from the abilities learned from curses.
In a sense, this was a kind of innate instinct that the spirit body had mastered, now successfully activated.
Because of the mysterious and special relationship between him and the spirit body, Rong Kexiong indirectly possessed this innate power.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Rong Kexiong raised his hands, and two green vines instantly appeared in the air, entwining forward.
The speed and power of the vines far exceeded ordinary curses, like a pair of long whips, making a "crack, crack" sound in the air.
Rong Kexiong's eyes glinted with a cold light, and his face showed uncontainable joy.
Mysteriously, he was certain that the power displayed by these vines was far beyond that of a first-stage curse.
This was the innate instinctive power of a Spiritist, a powerful force that could challenge higher levels.
A Spiritist with innate instinctive power was the most troublesome and most revered strong person.
They had walked much further on the path of Spiritists than ordinary people.
Rong Kexiong was overjoyed. With the True Gang Fist and innate instinctive power, his strength had greatly increased.
Taking a deep breath, Rong Kexiong finally calmed his agitation.
He sat down again, recovered his spiritual energy, and continued the tedious process of making talismans.
Each time his abilities and spiritual energy were completely consumed and then replenished through cultivation, he could sense a small improvement in both.
This rate of improvement was much faster than simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
Moreover, after the battle in the forest, he deeply understood the importance of the number of talismans.
With a thousand ordinary spirit body fighter talismans, he could wear down a mid-stage Spirit Master and several mid-stage Warriors to death.
So, what if he had a thousand high-quality spirit body fighter talismans?
Although he did not expect to be able to contend with innate strong people, who could survive the encirclement of a thousand spirit body fighters who knew the True Gang Fist below the innate level?
Even for the sake of his own life, Rong Kexiong could endure the tedious loneliness and continuously make high-quality and special talismans.
After he was fully immersed, he ignored everything outside. Apart from Qi Dodo, no one would disturb his cultivation at this time.
For a whole month, Rong Kexiong not only replenished his consumption but also greatly increased the number of talismans in his reserve.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Qi Dodo's smiling little head appeared.
Rong Kexiong's eyes opened, and he smiled, "Dodo, you're here."
With this strange and beautiful little fairy by his side, even the most tedious refining would not be unbearable.
Qi Dodo smiled slightly, "Brother, the person you've been waiting for has arrived."
Rong Kexiong was taken aback, "What?"
"The Chief Steward Ye from the Donghua Treasure Hall," Qi Dodo said with a beaming smile. "You've been in seclusion for so long, it's time to go out and relax a bit, right?"
Rong Kexiong's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Yes, I hope he brings good news."
