685: The birds, grass, and trees recognize their master! Awakening emotional talents.

"Huh? Liu Lizi has been eroded by an evil force? It is trying to devour my Xuanhuang Power?"

Su Lie suddenly raised his head and looked at the array shield leading to the core area. Through the sensing of the Xuanhuang Mark, he discovered that something had happened to Liu Lizi.

This meant that inside the core area, there was likely some danger waiting for him.

"No rush! No rush!" Su Lie whispered to himself.

Soon, the four women, Su Arthur and the others, dug out the Bird-Grass Tree.

"Master! Come and look! A small tree burning with flames is growing on the back of a golden crow!" Su Hongkou called out softly.

Su Xueqi squatted to the side, observing the small tree carefully. Her eyes were full of curiosity: "The world is truly full of wonders! Something like this can actually grow!"

Su Bailong said nonchalantly: "This thing doesn't look fun at all!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie turned and walked over. He saw that Su Arthur was holding a ball of light about 10 centimeters in diameter in her hands.

Inside the light ball, fire qi swirled, entangled with clusters of rich fire elements. Within the fire elements, a small tree had grown out of the corpse of a three-legged golden crow.

The trunk of the small tree was straight and branched out into three twigs. At the end of each twig, a ring of flames was constantly condensing.

"Is this the Bird-Grass Tree?" Su Lie muttered in surprise: "It is indeed exactly like a caterpillar fungus, but this plant is parasitic on a golden crow; who knows what kind of miraculous changes will occur!"

He immediately used his Identification Talent on it. [Hum!] A panel automatically popped up from the Bird-Grass Tree.

[Bird-Grass Tree (Unnamed)] [Quality: Red God-level Quality] [Status: juvenile, newborn] [Type: Plant] [Attribute: Unique] [Master: None] [Fruit: Golden Crow Fruit] [Fruit Effect: Unknown] [Auxiliary Effect: Unknown]

[Special Effect: Great Sun True Flame: The Bird-Grass Tree condenses a mass of Great Sun True Flame every ten years. This flame is the most rigid and yang-aligned fire, capable of suppressing all evil forces. It can be used for refining treasures, alchemy, and forging, and can serve as a power source for Skills, Talents, and divine abilities.]

[Special Effect: Flame Promotion: The Bird-Grass Tree grows a new branch every hundred years. Each branch condenses a Sun Fire Wheel every thousand years. Once picked, the Sun Fire Wheel can increase the quality of any flame by one level.]

[Special Effect: Environmental Transformation: The Bird-Grass Tree can transform any environment into one suitable for its growth.]

[Special Effect: Fire-Type Invincibility: All fire-type powers are useless against the Bird-Grass Tree.]

[Special Effect: Submit to Master: The Bird-Grass Tree needs to consume the master's blood to complete the submission ritual. Once it submits, the Bird-Grass Tree will honor the master above all and will never betray the master.]

[Rule: Breeding Golden Crow: The Bird-Grass Tree is an alienation resulting from the golden crow and the broken roots of the Fusang tree. Through the Sun Fire Wheels on each branch, after ten thousand years of cultivation, it can breed golden crow offspring. These golden crow offspring will permanently recognize the master of the Bird-Grass Tree as their master.]

[Rule: Self-Division: The Bird-Grass Tree will split off a seedling every one hundred thousand years. After transplanting, the seedling can grow into a new Bird-Grass Tree.]

[Rule: Derived Resources: After the Bird-Grass Tree forms a forest, it can breed a field of sun god crystal ore resources in the current Planting Area.]

[Note: This Bird-Grass Tree is the first plant in the Mist World formed by a plant parasitizing a life form. Note: Please have the Bird-Grass Tree submit to you as soon as possible, otherwise it will run away on its own.]

When Su Lie saw the end of the panel, his eyelids twitched: "This thing even has intelligence?" While speaking, he had already taken the Bird-Grass Tree into his hands.

The moment he made contact with the Bird-Grass Tree, he felt a complex emotion of terror, worry, and fear emanating from it.

"Be good! I won't hurt you!" Su Lie whispered softly. The Bird-Grass Tree shook with a rustling sound: "Then let me go!"

Su Lie had heard the Wood Speaker Talent and understood the Bird-Grass Tree's response. He laughed: "The outside is too dangerous. If I let you go, you will surely die!"

"Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life!" "I will not stand by and watch you jump into a sea of fire!" "Besides!" "Since you met me!" "There is fate between us!" "Therefore..." As he spoke, Su Lie dripped his blood directly onto the light curtain protecting the Bird-Grass Tree.

After the light curtain touched Su Lie's blood, it quickly integrated the blood into the body of the Bird-Grass Tree. Suddenly, the Bird-Grass Tree burst into light, releasing streaks of blood-red and Xuanhuang-colored radiance.

Soon, a crisp voice came from the Bird-Grass Tree: "Thank you, Master!" The milky, childish voice sounded very pleasant.

"Please grant me a name, Master!" The Bird-Grass Tree did not wait for Su Lie to respond and made another request.

After thinking about it, Su Lie said to the Bird-Grass Tree: "You are a plant that mutated after the Fusang tree roots penetrated into a golden crow egg, relying on absorbing the nutrients within the golden crow egg, and undergoing countless years of slumber and suppression!"

"Calling you Golden Crow or Fusang Tree is not appropriate!" "Therefore, I will name you Yangyan Tree! If you can transform into a human in the future, you may be called Su Yangyan!"

As Su Lie's voice rang out, Hum! A brilliant radiance bloomed from the Yangyan Tree. His words seemed to have been verified by the mist rule, branding it into the body of the Yangyan Tree.

After receiving its true name, the Yangyan Tree trembled with excitement, and it eagerly shouted: "Thank you, Master! When little Yangyan grows up, I will definitely kill enemies and clear the path for Master! Sweep away all obstacles!"

"The little guy has big ambitions!" Su Lie smiled and chatted with the Yangyan Tree for a while longer before temporarily storing it in his inventory.

He looked up and said to the four women, Su Arthur and the others, who were keeping watch around him: "Let's go!"

"Phew! Finally leaving! We can go check out the next place!" Su Bailong let out a breath of stale air and excitedly walked to the front.

Su Arthur and Su Xueqi paused in tacit agreement, lagging a step behind Su Bailong and Su Hongkou, each choosing a position.

At this time, all the buildings in the inner city had collapsed because the Xuanhuang Power had been absorbed by Su Lie. However, the environment of this area had been healed because Su Lie had used the Blessing All Beings Skill.

This meant that although the area had lost the support of the Xuanhuang Power, it still retained vitality. After the dust turned into soil, a large amount of lush green grass grew out of the ground.

Su Lie walked on it with the four women, feeling like he was stepping on cotton. The air also released a faint scent of fresh grass.

As he walked, Su Lie looked at the Xuanhuang Attribute on his personal panel. This time, by absorbing the Xuanhuang Power, he had brought a total increase of 10 billion extreme points to each of the three Xuanhuang Attributes.

Although this was about 10 times less than the Xuanhuang Attribute points Su Lie had previously obtained in the Mirror Sky Labyrinth, in Su Lie's view, it was still a lot.

At this moment, Su Lie's heart stirred, and he looked towards the Avici Purgatory. The Desire Stone Martens imprisoned in the 12,000 cells of the Avici Purgatory had all died.

Seeing this, he took out another 12,000 Desire Stone Martens and sent them inside. This time, he had sealed a total of 500,000 Desire Stone Martens in the underground living area of the outer disciples of Golden Crow City.

Although he could obtain more Talents than now through the treasure refining critical hit effect of his firearms, he could not fully obtain all the Talents of the Desire Stone Martens. Furthermore, he could not obtain the lifespan and attribute-type resources of the Desire Stone Martens.

Given Su Lie's current needs, these Desire Stone Martens could be harvested from beginning to end. It was not suitable to use the method of killing enemies with firearms.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Su Lie took out the Skills and Talents of the Desire Stone Martens. This time, he obtained a total of 9 major resources: 12,000 eternal lifespan pearls, stone element and emotion attribute orbs, and awakening scrolls for the three major Skills and three major Talents.

After Su Lie used the Identification Talent, the three Skills of the Desire Stone Martens appeared one by one in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Skill Awakening Scroll (Emotion Mapping): Red God-level Quality; you can use this Skill to map your emotions onto the target's emotions and cause the target to resonate with your emotions, feeling joy because of your joy and pain because of your pain. Each time you map a life, it consumes 1 million emotion attribute points. Note: This Skill can only be awakened by a Professional who has awakened the Emotion Talent and activated emotion attribute points.]

[Skill Awakening Scroll (Empathy Petrification): Red God-level Quality; when your emotions are mapped onto the target's emotions and cause the target to resonate with your emotions, you can use this Skill to generate empathy with the target through emotional resonance, and thereby silently petrify the target. This Skill continuously consumes 100,000 emotion attribute points per second. Note: This Skill can only be awakened by a Professional who has awakened the Emotion Mapping Skill.]

[Skill Awakening Scroll (Transformation): Red God-level Quality: You can change the target's emotions to cause emotional changes in the target, and cause the target to be influenced by emotions, thereby affecting the target's combat power, spirit, will, etc. Each change of emotion consumes 1 million emotion attribute points. Note: This Skill can only be awakened by...]

"Huh? These are three complementary Skills! And these emotion Skills only seal, but do not cause damage... No! The Transformation Skill might bring damage, but the failure probability of this damage is too high!" Su Lie looked at the Skills in front of him, slightly surprised.

He finally understood why the Desire Stone Martens chose to flee after seeing him. These puppets simply had no offensive Skills. In a situation where they could not influence the target's emotions, all struggles were futile.

"No wonder they had to run!" Su Lie laughed. He immediately took out the three Talents of the Desire Stone Martens and used the Identification Talent. Hum! The next second, the panels of three talent awakening scrolls appeared again in Su Lie's sight.

[talent awakening scroll (Stone Slumber): red god-tier; rule quality talent awakening scroll. After use, can awaken... Talent: Stone Slumber. Stone Slumber: ...; After use, you will petrify into a statue and fall into a dormant state. For every day you slumber, you will consume 1 year of lifespan and increase your attribute values by an average of 100,000 points. In the dormant state, you will be in an absolutely invincible state; no power, no damage, and no items can harm you. In the dormant state, all injuries you have sustained will be quickly healed. Note: You can set an attribute alert when using this Talent; if someone triggers the alert, you will wake up from the dormant state. Note: This Talent can only be awakened by Survivors who are at the second turn or above. Note: This Talent can only be awakened by Professionals who have awakened the Stone Element Talent or the Stone-type bloodline.]

"Although this Talent is very strong, it is too much of a waste of time for me! Unless I am already invincible and have to consume time to accumulate power in this way! Otherwise, petrifying and slumbering now is a waste of life!" Su Lie shook his head. He was not prepared to awaken this Talent.

He looked at the Desire Stone Marten's second Talent—Emotion!

[talent awakening scroll (Emotion): red god-tier; rule quality talent awakening scroll. After using this scroll, you will awaken... Emotion: ...; You will awaken the emotion attribute through this Talent. Each time your emotions have a huge fluctuation, your emotion value will increase. Rule: Emotion Control: You can use the power of the emotion attribute to automatically regulate your emotions, allowing you to not be pleased by external things or saddened by personal gains or losses. You can also use this to deal with all Skills, Talents, and divine abilities related to emotions, and completely or partially offset the effects brought by Skill powers. Rule: Emotion Skill: After awakening this Talent, you will be able to awaken all emotion-type Skills, Talents, and divine abilities. Rule: Cultivation Method: After awakening this Talent, you will be able to practice all cultivation methods related to emotions. Note: After the Emotion Talent is awakened, you will possess the power to control and perceive emotions more subtly; any life form using any emotion-type power can be accurately perceived by you.]

Su Lie looked at this second Talent, his eyes lit up, and he chose to awaken it without hesitation. [Hum!] [Congratulations! Successfully awakened the red god-tier rule quality Talent: Emotion!] ...
