Evolve from a Tree

1Su Mu changed his direction and walked forward, while thinking about a question.    1

    

Spirit Stone mines were not water without destiny, they were wood without roots. Although they were naturally raised and were a gift from nature to all living beings, everything had their own source.    

    

There was a source for the rivers, lakes, and seas, as well as a source for the flowers, plants, and trees. These Spirit Stone mines were no exception.    

    

Su Mu found out from the collection of Wang Tianfeng, the leader of the materials, that there was a source for the Spirit Stone mines discovered in Lih Kingdom. Tao Palace, the highest spiritual organization in the entire Lih Kingdom, had named them as Origin Spirits.    

    

The Spirit Stone mines could be divided into basic, intermediate and high grade according to their mineral content.    

    

There may be higher levels, but they have not yet been discovered by any country or organization.    

    

Origin spirits were very special, they would reveal different appearances depending on the level of the Spirit Stone.    

    

There was nothing special about a beginner origin spirit; all of them were the shape of a spring.    

    

When one reached the middle level Spirit Stone, the shape of the ore would change. This level of origin spirit would change into all things in the world, be it flowers, grass, trees, or birds and beasts.    

    

Intermediate Origin Spirits did not only change their appearances simply, they also had a mysterious ability. However, the specific book did not mention anything about it, so Su Mu naturally had no way of knowing.    

    

Su Mu guessed that it was probably because the owner of this book did not know the secrets of these intermediate source spirits.    

    

Or perhaps this was a secret that all countries and organizations did not divulge. News regarding this matter was controlled extremely strictly, so that very few people knew about it.    

    

The third level Origin Spirit, which was also the speculation of this book's owner, was no different from living beings. They had their own thoughts and could run and jump.    

    

Of course, this was only the guess and imagination of the owner of the book. As for the actual situation, it was still an unsolved mystery.    

    

As far as Su Mu knew, there were currently only two high level Spirit Stone mines in this world, and they were controlled by Lih Kingdom respectively. A large number of troops were set up to guard against death, and it would be no exaggeration to say that in these two high level Spirit Stone mines, even mosquitoes would have to undergo heavy inspections before flying in.    

    

The reason they were this cautious was naturally because these two Spirit Stone mines provided an unending stream of spirit warriors for Lih Kingdom and them. The reason why these two countries were able to become the hegemons of the world after the recovery of their spirit energy was inextricably linked to these two Spirit Stone mines.    

    

It would not be an exaggeration to think too highly of such a national treasure that was related to national destiny.    

    

From this, the importance of the Spirit Stone mine could be seen.    

    

Su Mu was not a professional and was unable to accurately judge the level of the Spirit Stone mine he was currently at. However, along the way, Su Mu was still able to make a rough estimate.    

    

If nothing unexpected happened, this Spirit Stone mine should be at the Beginner Tier.    

    

"I wonder where the source spirit of this Spirit Stone mine is?"    

    

Boom! Su Mu's body collided with the wall. It was thanks to his headstrong body that Su Mu held his head in pain and cried out.    

    

Su Mu subconsciously rubbed his forehead. The coarse texture made him realize that he was no longer a human. He was a rough tree with an iron head.    

    

However, he still couldn't help feeling depressed in his heart.    

    

A dignified Aperture Stage would actually crash into a wall just because he was distracted while walking. If word of this got out, he would definitely become a laughingstock.    

    

Su Mu looked up speechlessly. He wanted to see which wall was so powerful that could make him suffer such a loss.    

    

Su Mu raised his head and stared straight ahead without moving. He was both surprised and happy: "This is..."
