The Value of Tree!

Chapter 7: The Value of Tree!

Fang Yuan wasn't sure whether he would return to Crimson Wood City once the twenty hours were over, so he didn't want to cause any serious trouble before that.

Time flew by, and Fang Yuan suddenly stopped.

A piece of information warning him to go to a safe place appeared in his mind. The last 30 minutes were left of the 20 hours, so the broken pagoda warned him.

"You three can leave now," Fang Yuan stated, surprising the three people.

Things were going fine, so they were taken aback by the sudden situation. They thought they had made a mistake, so not to bring all their effort over the day to nothing, they immediately apologized.

"You haven't done anything wrong. I have my own business to attend to."

Fang Yuan stated, understanding what the three people meant by their apology.

Since Fang Yuan had stated his intentions clearly, the three people nodded and turned around to leave. Their expressions didn't look good since they had spent several hours with the noble stranger, but they still weren't aware of the boy's names, and neither did the boy ask about their name.

"What are your names?"

Fang Yuan suddenly remembered that he didn't know their names, so he asked. If he returned to the city, the three would be of great help to him.

The three immediately stopped and said their names one by one. Fang Yuan then told the three of them his name and then gestured for them to leave.

Fang Yuan was some minutes away from the Crimson Wood jungle, so he rushed in that direction. It was a landmark of the city but also empty since there was nothing else in the jungle other than the same species of trees.

When he reached the jungle, he looked around and rushed inside. Only a few minutes were left before the countdown ended.

Fang Yuan waited patiently after finding a large enough space for the portal to appear. He wanted to cut the trees but didn't have the equipment to do so. If he were to use only his body, it would take hours, so he didn't waste his time on it.

[00:00:00]

Inside the broken pagoda, the timer above the portal suddenly turned zero. The next moment, it activated on its own.

Fang Yuan was waiting for the portal to appear, but nothing like that happened. Different colors of visible light dots emerged out of thin air and began to surround him.

In a few moments, no part of his body was left untouched by the light dots. Immediately after that, the light dots exploded, creating a blinding light.

Not long after, things returned to normal. The light had disappeared, and with it, Fang Yuan had also left the jungle.

***

Fang Yuan had beads of sweat around his body since he had heard the explosion of light dots. He almost thought that he was going to die.

The uncomfortable feeling from space transfer further added to the situation, forcing Fang Yuan to sit on the ground, gasping for a full breath.

There seemed to be a magical effect inside the pagoda, so a few moments later, Fang Yuan calmed down and looked at the portal.

It was dimmed and above it, there was a glowing timer.

[47:59:53]

Fang Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief since the timer meant that he could travel again.

Whether he would travel to Crimson Wood City or another place that was another point. As long as he could travel, he could see hope that he and his family would no longer live in poverty.

Fang Yuan then suddenly remembered the tree he had stored in the storage space and the details that had followed it.

He looked around and couldn't help but frown after not seeing the tree anywhere. He clearly remembered he had put the tree, experiencing the storage function of the broken pagoda for the first time.

"My Tree!"

Fang Yuan let out an angry yell since that tree was worth a lot of money and could provide immediate help to him.

Suddenly, a force jerked him upward. Before he could understand what was happening, he was floating in the air, and down below him, the scene had changed.

The portal was nowhere to be found, and below him, there was a perfect cube of 10m in length, breadth, and height. It was way bigger than the house he and his family lived in.

He couldn't help but have thoughts of letting his family live in that space, but immediately, a piece of information appeared in his head, informing him that the storage was only for non-living things.

Fang Yuan didn't care about it since he had his eyes on the red tree. It was a three-meter tree with a thickness of two feet five inches. Fang Yuan had the exact information due to the ability of the broken pagoda.

After he stored the tree, its details appeared in his mind. The Crimson Wood tree was of first grade and was of middle quality.

The first grade referred to Qi refining cultivators and items of that level. The Qi refining was further divided into twelve levels. The 1st to 3rd level of Qi refining was low level, 4th to 6th was middle, 7th to 9th was high, and 10th to 12th was top.

Since the Crimson Wood tree was of middle quality first grade, it could be used in the making of the middle and high-level first-grade talisman. Even the low quality went for 100 spirit coins per kg, so Fang Yuan was going to earn a lot from the tree.

The tree weighed 628.478 kilograms. A middle-level first-grade Crimson Wood usually went for 200 to 300 spirit coins. Since Fang Yuan had never sold anything like that, he wasn't clear on the exact number, but it wasn't low.

His father and mother worked seven days a week and could only earn a combined sum of seven hundred spirit coins per week. Even if he sold the wood for 200 spirit coins, he would still earn a large sum of more than 125,000 spirit coins.

Fang Yuan's breathing turned rapid as soon as he thought of that number. That kind of money was enough for him to purchase several months' worth of low-level first-grade Qi-refining pills.

If he could have the pills, his cultivation would grow faster, taking him closer to his goal of becoming a 3rd-level Qi refining cultivator before the Sect entrances.

A bottle of such a pill was sold at the price of 10 low-level spirit stones, and one bottle contained only ten pills worth ten days of use. (A/N: 1000 spirit coins are equal to 1 low-level spirit stone.)
