Chapter 3854: Those Who Plant Trees Will Enjoy the Shade

The tree that attacked Xiao Yi was completely subdued by him this time, even though it absorbed the milk of the earth's core and had a huge spiritual energy.

But it failed to generate spiritual intelligence after all. Xiao Yi used the advantage of the power of the soul to control the tree and forcefully injected his own power into it. Now it has become Xiao Yi's thing.

"Things that have survived for thousands of years are indeed good materials."

Xiao Yi made a profit this time. He easily pulled the tree up from the stone platform, along with the roots underneath.

The roots shrank and became something like a cane. As for how to refine magic weapons in the future, Xiao Yi knew nothing about it. He put it in the space ring for the time being and made plans later.

"Not bad, it's not in vain that I expected it. Your comprehension is still good. You have passed the master's level."

Xiao Yi put away the tree. This time, absorbing and refining the milk of the earth's core has already made Xiao Yi undergo a transformation. If he absorbs and refines it again, with his current body, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Hehe, Master, you are right. This time, I have really gained a lot."

"The third level of the Jinxuan Realm, this effect is beyond my expectation."

Originally, Zixu thought that Xiao Yi would only reach the second level of the Jinxuan Realm after refining these milks of the earth's core, which was one level higher than he expected.

Probably because the small tree growing on the stone platform input the refined milk of the earth's core and the essence extracted over the years into Xiao Yi's body, Xiao Yi became the ultimate beneficiary.

There is a saying that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. This is probably what it means. The small tree has gone through thousands of years, but it finally became someone else's wedding dress. This is also the best ending.

"This tree relies on absorbing the milk of the earth's core to refine spiritual energy and also hurt many creatures. If it is eliminated, it will benefit the people."

After collecting the milk of the earth's core, the last work is completed. Xiao Yi does not need to stay here any longer. Next, he returns along the same route and takes the workers trapped in it.

Xiao Yi wanted to wake them up. The workers fell into a deep sleep and needed external interference to wake them up, but he didn't do it in the end.

"Let the secret in this cave sleep forever. If people from the outside know the existence of the Earth's Core Milk, who knows what kind of conflict will break out."

Zixu and Xiao Yi said that the best solution is to let these people leave the cave without noticing it. Anyway, what happened before is just a dream for these people.

When they wake up, they won't remember anything. This approach also hides the secrets in the cave. Xiao Yi took away the Earth's Core Milk, but it didn't mean that the Earth's Core Milk disappeared forever.

It only takes a few decades for the essence in the stone marrow to gather on this stone pillar and finally drip on the stone platform.

Xiao Yi has these Earth's Core Milk, which is enough for his cultivation. Zixu and Xiao Yi said that according to Xiao Yi's current situation, even if all the Earth's Core Milk is refined.

In the end, his strength was only raised to the fifth level of the Jinxuan realm. If he wanted to continue to improve, the effect of the Earth Core Milk would become negligible. Moreover, relying on external things to improve one's own strength was originally a taboo for practitioners.

Xiao Yi also thought about it. After returning, he would give some of the Earth Core Milk to Xue Yaoyue and Lei Shen, so that they could speed up their practice again and have the ability to fight back when they met masters.

"Master, you are right. A hero is innocent but guilty of holding a treasure. The secret here will always be hidden in it."

Just as Xiao Yi led the workers away from here and walked out of the cave, there was already a commotion outside the cave.

Yuan Sheng persisted and waited for Xiao Yi's return. If Xiao Yi didn't come out, he really couldn't hold on. These local villagers came to him with weapons to settle accounts.

The folks here are fierce. Those who had returned from the construction site before told the villagers what happened here. The villagers immediately exploded and brought their weapons to the construction site.

Even the old village chief came along. With such a big incident, he, as the village chief, had the responsibility. If he was present, he could suppress the villagers to prevent anyone from getting killed.

If someone got killed, it would be a bad ending. Now everyone was waiting for Yuan Sheng's explanation. Yuan Sheng had a good attitude. He asked the villagers to sit down first and ordered someone to make tea for them.

"I've said it before, this place can't be moved. You insisted on coming here to mine jade veins. With such a big incident this time, where did you take the people?"

Faced with the questioning of the old village chief, Yuan Sheng didn't know how to answer. If he said that the villagers were trapped in the cave and the cave disappeared, who would believe this statement?

"Don't worry, old village chief. There is indeed a small problem, but I have sent people to rescue. Just wait a little longer, and there will be results soon."

"You have said this for the seventh time. We can't believe it. They are all dead."

The old village chief didn't want to hear the news of the accident. He encountered such a thing when he was young, so he believed the weirdness of this cave.

None of the people who followed him back then came back alive. If something really happened, everyone inside would definitely die, and there would be no chance of survival.

"Yes! The old village chief is right. We can't count on them. Let's go in and find people."

"First find a rope to tie them up. If they are dead, let them pay with their lives!"

The villagers were holding tools such as shovels and pickaxes, confronting Yuan Sheng. Seeing that the situation was about to be uncontrollable, if they continued to make trouble, something would happen.

Yuan Sheng was anxious. At this moment, the canvas covering the cave suddenly fell down, and then people came out from inside one after another.

These people were pale and thin. They had not eaten a drop of water for two days. Being alive was the greatest blessing. When the workers appeared, the villagers put down their tools and went forward to pick them up.

"My child, you are finally out. I scared your father to death."

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

Everyone was looking for their children. Yuan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xiao Yi succeeded in entering the cave this time and brought the people trapped inside out.

The last few people appeared carrying the bodies. Xiao Yi followed them out of the cave and came to Yuan Sheng.

"The matter has been resolved, but it was too late. A few people were not saved in time."
