"Life Qi!" Ye Chen's heart shuddered as he looked at Yu Wanqing with a somewhat shocked expression.
As recorded in ancient books, life Qi was the foundation of a living being, hidden in the deepest part of the soul. Once a living being died, the life Qi would immediately dissipate. Ordinary people had almost no way to extract it.
But all of this was an exception to the Wood God Clan.
Among the nine God Clans, the Wood God Clan was the most special existence.
The people of the Wood God Clan were not good at fighting and slaughtering. The martial arts they practiced all contained the Dao of Endless Growth, without any murderous aura. At the same time, they had an extremely deep understanding of Pill Dao, Array Dao, Talisman Dao, and so on.
But this didn't mean that the Wood God Clan was weak. On the contrary, because they cultivated the Dao of Endless Growth, the Wood God Clan had been recovering at an extremely fast speed since the ancient war. Their clansmen were numerous, and the continent was constantly expanding, vaguely showing signs of approaching the Fire God Clan.
At this moment, although the bottle of pills Yu Wanqing took out had not been opened, Ye Chen could clearly feel that these pills contained life Qi. Even if someone was on the verge of death, as long as they took one pill, they would be able to recover in a short period of time. Moreover, there was no sense of emptiness.
Having such a pill was equivalent to having a few more lives. It was extremely precious.
"This is the Wood Emperor Revival Pill, a Level 8 pill. It contains a trace of life Qi. After taking this pill, no matter how serious the injury is, it will be able to recover in a short period of time. Even in the Wood God Clan, it is an existence similar to a sacred medicine." Yu Wanqing took a few steps forward and offered the jade bottle.
However, Ye Chen didn't accept it. He smiled faintly and said, "I don't deserve it. Miss Yu shouldn't be so forthright as to give me such a precious pill for no reason, right?"
Yu Wanqing waved her hand and steadily placed the jade bottle in front of Ye Chen. She said without batting an eyelid, "The recent events of the Flower Ice Continent have spread throughout the entire True Spirit World. Almost everyone is panicking over the appearance of the Sacred Race. Even the Dark God Clan, which hasn't been seen for many years, has sent out many experts to search. Everyone in the True Spirit World has become anxious and restless."
"Indeed." Ye Chen casually replied. He was already well aware of this situation.
"While everyone is panicking over the Sacred Race, the Wood God Race is also facing an earth-shaking change."
Speaking up to here, Yu Wanqing let out a long sigh with a helpless expression. "Unlike the other God Clans, which have a single lineage, because the Wood God Clan cultivates the Dao of Life and Death, they have an extremely long lifespan. Therefore, the number of clansmen is extremely large. The more people there are, the louder the arguments will be. Ever since the Ancient War, the Wood God Clan has been split into hundreds of clans. Among the hundreds of clans, there are three great clans at the head. Every hundred years, there will be a battle.
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed when he heard Yu Wanqing's words.
After the Ancient War, all the major races of the True Spirit World had suffered a devastating calamity. Countless races had disappeared because of it. The Ice God Clan and the Moon God Clan had declined to the extreme, facing the grim situation of being annexed by others.
Unexpectedly, the Wood God Clan didn't end up like this. On the contrary, the Wood God Clan grew stronger and stronger.
If the Wood God Clan hadn't split up and was united, then the strongest of the five God Clans wouldn't have been the Fire God Clan.
Seeing Ye Chen remain silent, Yu Wanqing continued, "It has been a hundred years since the last clan battle. Soon, the next clan battle will begin. My Yu Clan is fortunate to be able to participate. Therefore, I would like Ye Gongzi to represent my Yu Clan in the clan battle as a guest elder. This bottle of Wood Emperor Rejuvenation Pills is my gift to you."
"Isn't it inappropriate for an outsider like me to participate in the clan battle of the Wood God Clan?" Ye Chen still didn't accept the pills. Instead, he felt that there was a hidden meaning behind it.
"The purpose of the clan battle is to elect the strongest clan to rule the Wood God Clan. Whether or not we can recruit experts as guest elders is also part of the assessment. As long as it doesn't involve other God Clans, there won't be any problems. Please rest assured, Ye Gongzi." Yu Wanqing waved her hand and explained in detail.
Ye Chen suddenly understood. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This matter isn't trivial. I have to think about it. Miss Yu, please wait in the outer hall for a moment. I'll be there soon."
"Okay." Yu Wanqing cupped her fists towards Ye Chen and walked out.
When she left, Yu Wanqing didn't take the Wood Emperor Rejuvenation Pills with her. They were still placed in front of Ye Chen.
"Last time in the Heavenly Blood Sacred Prefecture, Yu Wanqing was still a little girl who didn't know much about the world. I didn't expect her to become so shrewd in just half a year." Xuanyuan Xiu had been hiding in the dark. He only showed up after Yu Wanqing left.
Ye Chen nodded. When Yu Wanqing spoke just now, she didn't show the arrogance of a God Clan at all. Instead, her tone was light and there was a hint of pleading. If it was someone else who saw her being so polite, they would probably agree immediately.
"Senior Xuanyuan, what do you think about this matter?" Ye Chen looked at Xuanyuan Xiu with a questioning look.
"Of course, I have to agree."
Xuanyuan Xiu's firm tone stunned Ye Chen. He thought that Xuanyuan Xiu would refuse. He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Xiu would not only agree, but also agree so straightforwardly without any hesitation.
Xuanyuan Xiu grabbed the jade bottle in his hand, opened the cork, and sniffed it greedily. Then, he said, "The Wood God Clan specializes in the Way of Endless Vitality. They can cultivate the Qi of Life through bitter cultivation. This Qi of Life may not be of much use to others, but to you, it is a great supplement."
"You mean, you want me to seek the life Qi of the Wood God Clan as a guest elder?" Ye Chen asked resentfully.
"That's right!"
Xuanyuan Xiu chuckled like an old urchin and said, "The life Qi I gave you before has already been used up. If you want to improve your strength, you must have an endless supply of life Qi. In the entire True Spirit World, only the Wood God Clan can fulfill this condition."
"Now that the other party has taken the initiative to deliver such a precious Wood Emperor's Life Returning Pill to you, if you don't agree, then wouldn't you be making things difficult for yourself?" Xuanyuan Xiu's eyes shone as he finished speaking. He was even more excited than Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was also somewhat moved by Xuanyuan Xiu's words. The life Qi was of great significance to him. It could even directly affect the cultivation progress of his Immortal Celestial Body.
Moreover, the other God Clans couldn't interfere in the Wood God Clan's internal strife. This would reduce a lot of pressure on Ye Chen.
While he was thinking, Ye Chen unknowingly arrived at the outer hall.
At this time, many people had already gathered in the hall. Obviously, Yu Wanqing had already explained the general situation and obtained the agreement of Uncle Ying and the others. Otherwise, with Yu Wanqing's strength, she would have been killed by the Nine Chill Nether Formation before she could even step into the peak.
"Ye Gongzi, what do you think?" Yu Wanqing hastily stood up and walked to Ye Chen.
