Chapter 195: Change in the Form of the Spirit Stone

As soon as Zhurong finished speaking, Ye Chen had already opened his inventory. Previously, he had found a bag of Spirit Stones from another world on Yan Yi’s skeleton. This was something that all the Divine Beasts around him knew.

There were many types of Spirit Stones in the foreign realms, but it could basically be said that the main attribute of Spiritual Energy in a foreign realm was the attribute of the Spirit Stones produced.

There was only one exception, which was the Wood Spirit Stone.

Unless it was a foreign world with fire-type Spiritual Energy as the main attribute, the other foreign worlds could produce Wood Spirit Stones for some reason. This situation was recorded in the information, which Ye Chen found very strange.

It was natural for wood-type Spirit Stones to not appear in fire-type foreign realms. However, since they appeared in other foreign realms, it was enough to prove that wood-type Spirit Stones did not need very dense Spiritual Energy to condense into Spirit Stone.

There was a time limit for the opening of the foreign realm so some people guessed that it was because of the trees in the foreign realm. Therefore, they picked out the possible trees near the Wood Spirit Stones in the foreign realm and brought out their seeds or young plants. They tried to plant them in the outside world to obtain Spirit Stones but it was useless.

According to the records, these trees that lived in the foreign realms all year round had a high requirement for the environment. They became extremely fragile after coming to the outside world. Many tree species could not even germinate. Those that grew up with difficulty were not very lucky either. Their roots were also cut open for research and no Wood Spirit Stones were born with them.

As a result, the people of the main world stopped studying the Wood Spirit Stones.

However, what Zhurong said also made Ye Chen feel that it was trustworthy, so he decided to try what Zhurong said first.

He searched through the bag of Spirit Stones and quickly took out three wood-type Spirit Stones from the foreign realm.

Ye Chen felt that something was wrong when he touched it.

Previously, Zhurong said that the Spirit Stones were made of Wood Marrow. Ye Chen guessed that the quality of these Spirit Stones should be similar to amber. However, the Wood Spirit Stone in front of him did not have the characteristics of amber. The touch of each Spirit Stone was no different from that of other Spirit Stones.

What was even stranger was that although the shapes of the Spirit Stones were about the same, there were differences in the weight. Some were as heavy as normal Spirit Stones, while others were so light that they seemed to be hollow. Ye Chen could not help but frown.

“You just said that if I want to cleanse away the Beast Spirit Contract, I have to use the Wood Marrow of the Life and Death Wood to cleanse the contract. However, it has already condensed. How should I deal with this?” He asked Zhurong, “Moreover, these Spirit Stones are all different in weight. Only one of them is considered heavy. Should I use this one alone, or should I use all three?”

Zhurong’s eyes widened. “Didn’t you say that you’ve read the documents about human research on Spirit Stones? You don’t even know this?” It asked in surprise.

Ye Chen waved at it. “Only in the past few hundred years have humans appeared who can enter the foreign realm. And all of them did not reveal their research results. Do you expect them to leave any information for me to see?” He mocked. “Just tell me how to use this Wood Spirit Stone.”

Zhurong let out a smug chuckle. “Wood-type Spirit Stones are formed because of special reasons, so they will absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy to form a protective shell.” It explained, “Therefore, the weight has nothing to do with the Spirit Stone itself. That’s just a characteristic displayed by the nature of the Spiritual Energy it absorbs. For example, the more Earth Spiritual Energy there is, the heavier it is, and the more Water Spiritual Energy there is, the lighter it is. Therefore, you can just use any one.”

“Then how do we restore it to Wood Marrow?” Ye Chen continued to ask.

“Don’t you have my Fire Melting Art? Burn the protective shell outside first and then refine it. Before it cools down, just inject water-type Spiritual Energy into the Spirit Stone and circulate it a few times.” Zhurong replied.

Ye Chen looked at it suspiciously. “Wood Spirit Stones aren’t afraid of fire?” He asked, “The Spirit Stones from foreign realms are all very fragile. They won’t be burnt?”

“That’s a strange question. The Spirit Stones are only a combination of Spiritual Energy. The Wood Marrow of the Life and Death Wood is only liquid Spiritual Energy. How can it be afraid of the burning of the Fire Melting Art? Only the outer appearance of the Life and Death Wood is afraid of fire.” Zhurong asked, “If you release Water Spiritual Energy and Fire Spiritual Energy at the same time, will one of them be knocked down by the other? At most, it will change the form of Spiritual Energy. Although the attributes are incompatible, Spiritual Energy can still coexist peacefully.”

Ye Chen did not dare to accept this easily.

“Don’t doubt me.” Zhurong was a little dissatisfied with Ye Chen’s distrust. “The Fire Melting Art is different from other Divine Powers. It only uses your own Spiritual Energy to cause other things to change. It has no intention of transforming it into an attack. It’s not a problem for you to only use it to convert the state of the Spirit Stone. If you’re afraid of failing, you can use the Water Spirit Stone to practice first.”

It extended its wing and pointed at the Spirit Stone bag in Ye Chen’s hand.

There were the most Water Spirit Stones among the Spirit Stones in this bag.

Ye Chen decided to accept its suggestion.

He reached out and took one of them. He stood outside the secret chamber and tried to activate the Fire Melting Art. He injected Fire Spiritual Energy into it and the form of the entire Spirit Stone quickly became unstable.

After the appearance of the Spirit Stone changed, it seemed to have expanded significantly but its weight was basically gone, turning into a light blue translucent mist. Spiritual Energy started to leak out inevitably and blue light spread into the air bit by bit.

Kun Peng, who was at the side, thoughtfully created a small Spirit Wall Space beside Ye Chen to stop the Spiritual Energy from leaking.

“It can’t fix its shape. How should we deal with this?” Ye Chen quickly looked at Zhurong.

“Inject your own Spiritual Energy of the same attribute into it and assimilate this Spiritual Energy. Then, you can control it,” Zhurong replied. “At that time, you can change its form however you want.”

According to its guidance, Ye Chen quickly sent a portion of his Spiritual Energy into the mist that had yet to disperse.

When it was just injected, the entire ball of mist seemed to have been completely destroyed by the new Spiritual Energy. It suddenly exploded and almost filled the entire Spirit Wall Space. The color also faded to almost white. However, under the effect of assimilation, a new light blue ball of mist was forming and quickly moved to suck in the white mist.

After a while, a condensed ball of Spiritual Energy fell into Ye Chen’s palm again under his control.

“You can either absorb this or condense it into a spirit stone again, it’s up to you.” Zhurong added, “In short, this is how you convert a Spirit Stone’s form.”

“I see.” Ye Chen nodded and compressed the entire ball of Spiritual Energy again. He put the small Spirit Stone back into the Spirit Stone bag and took out another Wood Spirit Stone.

Since he had already understood that the method Zhurong mentioned could change the form of the Spirit Stone, he decided to take action as soon as possible. He started to cleanse the old contract seal off the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.
