Following the fluctuation of the spirit energy, Lu Feng quickly entered the secret room and arrived beside a shelf placed at the corner of the wall.

The shelves were divided into three layers, each containing only a few items.

The source of that Spiritual Qi fluctuation was a scale on the second floor.

Lu Feng could tell at a glance that those scales were the Reverse Scale on the body of the dragon clan's ancestor, the Flying Dragon.

"Yinglong, your painstaking efforts were in vain. You became Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's chariot and entered the Fire Cloud Palace to cultivate, yet your Reverse Scale was pulled out by someone and ended up in this different world."

Looking at that Reverse Scale, Lu Feng's eyes were a little blurry, as though her mind returned to the scenes of the Lich War.

It was after the Lich War that the human race took control of the world. The remnants of the Witch Race did not want to surrender to the enemy, so they waged another war, prompting the birth of the three Human Emperors, Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan.

After each of them made their own contributions, the three Human Sovereigns entered the Fire Cloud Palace, which was 33 Layered Heavens, to study the Yellow Court's Scripture that the Daofather had passed on.

Among them, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had defeated the entire Witch Race and rendered a great merit to the human race, which was why he was able to enter.

As for Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan, when he flew to Fire Cloud Palace, he was riding the Dragon Clan's ancestor, the Raindragon. This was the origin for the humans to claim themselves as the descendants of dragons.

Although when humans ruled the world, Lu Feng had already passed away and only a small remnant of her soul remained hidden inside the Chaotic Clock, it did not mean that he was unaware of everything that was happening outside.

Of course, what caused Lu Feng to be moved was not the s of Ying Long, but the tree root beside him that had almost completely dried up.

The root was about a foot long and completely black. It was dry and had a lot of mud stuck to it. If one looked closely, they would see that there was almost no spiritual energy fluctuating in the area.

However, with Lu Feng's experience, she recognized the origin of this root with just a glance. It was one of the strange roots of heaven and earth, a small piece of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree.

Before the Primordial Era, before the opening of the universe, there was already a group of intelligent beings that had been infected with XianTian energy. Later on, they all became Xiantian Immortals, including Pangu, Taiyi, Nuwa, Qualified Apprentice, and other powerful beings.

Of course, the Innate Ranker that was mentioned here was not the same as the Innate Ranker that the Tian Yuan Continent was referring to.

The Innate Elder of Tian Yuan Continent merely referred to the cultivators who had reached the independent circulation of the True Yuan in their bodies, as if the fetus was in the mother's body, and were only in a cultivation state.

And a first-rate Innate was the first life form born from the Primordial Purple Qi before the heavens and earth opened.

Since there were Xiantian Immortals in this world, there would naturally be Xiantian plants and ores. Many ancient Immortal artifacts were refined from the plant ores that had absorbed a sliver of Xiantian spiritual energy during the ancient era.

For example, the clear willow branches in the hands of the people from the Great Luo Golden Immortals' Passage, along with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in the hands of the Daoist, were innate spirit plants that grew from the absorption of Spiritual Qi when the world first opened.

The Innate Spirit Plant was unlike any other immortal grass or treasure. It had all sorts of external appearances, and was like a supreme expert returning to its original nature. It was reserved and did not appear to be any different from any other plant.

The two most famous spiritual strains were the ginseng fruit tree that Zhenyanzi had taken away and the Immortality Peach tree that had fallen into the hands of the Jade Emperor Haotian. The wonders of these two trees were not described here.

The withered root in Lu Feng's hand came from the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree.

The Five Elements Spirit Fruit is no less miraculous than the Immortality Peach Tree. Every ten thousand years, only a batch of fruits can grow, absorb the spirit energy of the five elements, conceive of Yin and Yang, fuse Yin and Yang into chaos, and then produce a sliver of the origin energy of heaven and earth.

Moreover, the natural power nurtured within the fruit has incalculable benefits to the body's meridians.

Ever since the world started, the Five Elements Spirit Fruit had been kept in the hands of Nuwa, and she had spent the last nine days of her life carefully cultivating it. It was truly a precious treasure.

The only thing he did not know was how this piece of root, which was still stained with the Swelling Earth, managed to make it to the Tian Yuan Continent.

Lu Feng reached out and picked up the withered tree root. Feeling the faint life force inside, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"Looks like after I left, my little junior sister encountered quite some trouble as well. Otherwise, how could the Five Elements Spirit Fruit tree that she'd always regarded as a treasure be destroyed by someone even the roots of a tree?"

Lu Feng said in an inaudible voice to herself.

"Second Young Master, is there anything special about this tree root?" Lu Cheng who was at the side asked as she saw Lu Feng pick up the tree root.

Lu Feng played with the root in her hand, and said to Lu Cheng: "You have always been guarding the treasury, but have you never heard of the legends regarding the root?"

Lu Cheng thought for a moment, then said: "Second Young Master, in the past, I heard my grandfather say that. At that time, he was also a guard of the treasury.

He said that this root had been here since a long time ago. Although he could not sense any spirit energy fluctuations from it, what was strange was that this root looked extremely dry, to the point where it could not even move due to hacking or slashing. Even when his family took the initiative to use the Profound Stage spirit artifact, it was unable to harm it at all.

Even more bizarre was that the soil on top of it was just like the soil on top of it. No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible to get it off.

Back then, the clan head had specially ordered for this item to be stored in a secret room, waiting for the arrival of a fated person.

Second Young Master, do you know where this thing came from? "

"Hehe, how would I know its origin?"

As Lu Feng said this, she casually put the roots back to its original flavor.

Lu Feng left empty-handed. Using his words, although those things were not bad, but at the current stage, they were basically useless to him.

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Feng to tell him that he was determined to get the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree Root. It was just that it was useless to take it back now, so she placed it there temporarily.

After leaving the treasury, Lu Feng immediately went to find the clan guard commander Lu Wenshan.

This Lu Wenshan looked like a middle-aged man, with a middle stage Innate Realm cultivation. Back then, he was one of the people who followed Old Man Lu Kun to the city to kill the Devilish Beast leader.

Lu Wenshan had always been loyal to Lu Family and had a very important position within the clan.

After Lu Feng told Lu Wenshan her purpose of coming, Lu Wenshan happily agreed to arrange a few bodyguards for Lu Feng. As the second young master of Lu Family, this was also the treatment Lu Feng should be enjoying.

Just like this, Lu Cheng was smoothly assigned to Lu Feng's side. He became Lu Feng's personal guard leader, and together with a few other guards, he took on the responsibility of protecting Lu Feng.

Completing her promise to Lu Cheng, Lu Feng returned to her own small courtyard to begin considering the matter of refining pills.
