"Do you suspect it’s man-made?"
"The cave is, and perhaps the deep valley as well. But it’s been so long that it’s hard to determine."
Kenny Lin’s gaze shifted to the Dawn Stone, and he said with a bandit-like tone, "Since we’ve found these things, we should take them, including this Golden Solarian Tree."
Although the age of the Golden Solarian Tree wasn’t that old, but its roots were nurous.
Moving the entire tree without damaging the roots would take ti.
But they had less than half a day left, and the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast could return at any mont.
"It would be such a pity to bring back a damaged Golden Solarian Tree," Amalia said, knowing from her studies how rare it was to obtain a complete Golden Solarian Tree.
"The Nascent Soul stage demonic beast probably won’t return until the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower bloom," Kenny Lin replied.
The Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower could be blooming at any mont, so the demonic beast wouldn’t leave the cliff until it was sure.
Also, this Golden Solarian Tree was hidden so deep that the demonic beast will likely to believed it wouldn’t be discovered by another creature.
Therefore, they actually had nearly half a day.
"I’m not sure if a complete Golden Solarian Tree can fit into the Soltice Ring," Amalia said.
So far, she had only stored inanimate objects and had never tried placing sothing alive into the ring’s space.
A complete Golden Solarian Tree, if still alive, was indeed a living thing.
Kenny Lin pulled up a spiritual herb from the ground, its roots undamaged, and tossed it to Amalia, saying, "Give it a try."
Amalia doubted that the properties of the two were the sa, but she still tried anyway.
To her surprise, the intact spiritual herb disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Did it go in?" Kenny Lin asked.
Amalia slowly nodded her head, her consciousness entering the Soltice Ring, where she saw the spiritual herb perfectly occupying a slot.
A sudden thought struck her, "Let’s try with another identical spiritual herb."
Kenny Lin picked another one, using his spiritual power to protect its roots.
When he pulled it out, it was intact, still with a little bit of moist soil clinging to it.
Amalia stored this spiritual herb as well, without any obstacles.
But when she checked the Soltice Ring, she found that this spiritual herb didn’t share the sa space with the previous one; instead, it occupied a new slot.
Afterward, she tried several different types of spiritual herbs.
The result was the sa: whether they were identical or different, each one would occupy its own slot.
However, when she stored a few spiritual herbs with partially damaged roots, which were unlikely to survive, so stacked in the sa slot while others still occupied individual slots.
If she placed the spiritual herbs in a storage bag, there were no such restrictions—whether they could survive or not, all could be stored together.
Amalia shared this observation with Kenny Lin.
"It seems that your Soltice Ring has the ability to distinguish whether the spiritual herbs have any vitality left," Kenny Lin comnted.
"I think that’s likely the case," Amalia agreed.
"Then let’s give it a try—take the entire Golden Solarian Tree with you," Kenny Lin suggested, "Once the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower bloom, the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast and the human cultivators, demonic beasts, Devils will undoubtedly engage in a fierce battle. We should have at least a day, and if the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast returns, we’ll sense it ahead of ti."
There was no other option.
Amalia was unwilling to give up the Golden Solarian Tree before her.
She decisively stored the Dawn Stone away.
The mont the Dawn Stone touched her hand, its intense heat almost scorched even her, an Artificer.
She quickly tossed it into the Soltice Ring, where the heat imdiately dissipated.
In order to avoid damaging the Golden Solarian Tree’s roots, the two of them extended their spiritual senses into the ground, mapping out the complete root system.
They carefully used their spiritual power to wrap and extract the exposed roots one by one before continuing to dig deeper.
anwhile, the ti for the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower to bloom was drawing nearer.
The dicinal fragrance from the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower was growing stronger, attracting more demonic beasts nearby.
They restlessly circled the area and held them back only by the presence of a powerful demonic beast at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
If it weren’t for that, they would have rushed over long ago.
The scent was now so strong that not only the demonic beasts could sll it, but humans and other creatures could too.
The devils who are lurking near the cliff, along with various human factions, imdiately heightened their vigilance, their attention fixed on the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower.
"Senior Brother Chang, the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower is about to bloom. Shouldn’t we discuss our next move?" Chanchala Jin couldn’t hold back any longer.
They had approached Renshu Chang several tis to discuss their strategy for seizing the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower, but Renshu Chang had always refused, insisting that they wait for his other two junior disciples to return.
But there was still no sign of them.
Who knew if they were dead or alive?
If they were dead, wouldn’t waiting have been for nothing?
"You’re not still planning to wait for those two junior disciples, are you? To be blunt, one of them is only at the early stage of Golden Core, and the other at the mid-stage. Whether they can even survive in this secret realm is still uncertain," Chanchala Jin said, fearing that Renshu Chang wouldn’t relent.
"Amalia and the others will be fine," Renshu Chang said firmly, staring at Chanchala Jin, as if not allowing her to speak otherwise.
