Chapter 97 Good Progress
He spoke to Alivia for some more time.
His parents are inside the hut, which was in the distance, and are negotiating currently with the elder sister of Alivia.
These elves are not the natives of this place but just a branch from the western part of the continent.
Although he had read a lot of information about the Life Tree of Elves. He still curiously asked her.
Alivia proudly told the tales about the life tree.
The Life Tree of the Elves was a massive, ancient tree that towered over the entire settlement. Its trunk was thick and sturdy, with bark that seemed to glow faintly in soft green hues.
Wide, graceful branches stretched outward, covered with vibrant green leaves that sparkled under the sunlight. At night, the tree gave off a gentle light, casting a warm, comforting glow over the entire Elf Territory.
For the elves, this tree was sacred. It nourished the land, helping plants grow stronger and healthier.
However, this life tree was just a branch of the world tree, and the elves of this continent are also just a branch of the pure elves, which reside under the world tree.
'The Life Tree... so powerful. If only I could bring something like that to the cultivation world. It might mutate just like Pipi,'
Luis thought with relish, listening to mystical stories from Alivia.
The diplomatic relationship with elves should be deeper so that they could give a branch of Life Tree willingly.
Luis, looking at the excited Alivia, couldn't help but shake his head. Elves are the long-lived species, and they also take a long time to grow. Physically, they can grow normally, but they have a slightly naive mentality.
Just look at this Alivia, who is getting too excited to tell about her hometown and history.
Luis's musings were interrupted by the voice of his father, calling out from the direction of the hut.
"Luis! Over here."
Luis looked in the direction and nodded. The two elves and his parents were coming out of a hut.
Luis recognized the two elves as Alivia's elder sisters, Elara and Selene. Both wore expressions of satisfaction, speaking to each other in low, excited voices as they walked beside his parents. From the look on everyone's faces, it was clear—the deal had been made.
The thing they were going to exchange for the fairies is the spiritual field. This thing is totally unique to the cultivation world and can grow things at 10 times the speed.
Luis approached his parents and looked at the two of them curiously.
However, the two elves ignored him.
"Dear Olivia, we'll meet here again in a week to finalize everything. I'll need to inform the elder and prepare everything." Selene said to Olivia with a little bow.
Olivia smiled and nodded at them.
"We will take our leave then."
With this said, the elves took their leave.
"Wait, sister, you agreed?" Alivia questioned curiously.
"Yes...."
Before Long, Elara, Alivia, and Selene exchanged quick words in their elf language, their excitement clear in their animated gestures and bright smiles.
As they prepared to depart, Alivia shot Luis one last smile, her joy as clear as the sparkle in her eyes.

He first dropped his blood into the soul banner to mark it and make it his own.
In just a few moments, the Soul Banner was refined by him.
As an Undead Mage, he knew a lot about death, souls, and skeletons. He could bring skeletons to life, control, and manipulate them.
Now, with this cultivation method, he reached a higher realm and had knowledge of how to manipulate souls.
"Hehehe~ Hahahaha~ Hahahaha"
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Levi, Luis's great-uncle, entered the room.
"Be quiet," Levi said sternly.
"Ah! Sir, what brings you here?" Levi, who was getting carried away, immediately shut up after seeing Levi.
"So, you succeeded. Tell me what your plans are next." Levi, seeing Rathma manipulate the Soul Banner, questioned.
"Sir, I will hunt some orcs, the enemies of the barony, and turn them into evil spirits within the soul banner." Once I've accumulated enough, I will create the soul pills and make my strength soar." Rathma declared eagerly.
Levi listened, his expression unreadable as he floated forward and flipped through the pages of the Soul Pill Cultivation Method.
Rathma didn't dare to interfere and stood aside silently.
The next period of time only the sound of a book flipping was heard.
"Summon a skeleton," Levi instructed after reviewing the method.
"Yes, Sir!" Without hesitation Rathma summoned a skeleton.
With a swift wave of his hand, Levi destroyed the skeleton in an instant. "Now, absorb it into the Soul Banner."
Rathma quickly activated the Soul Banner, and he felt the energy shift as the soul fire of the skeleton was drawn into the banner.
"Think big. Don't confine yourself to small ambitions," Levi said, floating toward the ceiling. "Now, tell me what you plan to do."
Rathma watched all this and couldn't help but gulp with excitement, "Battlefield. Hundred of thousands of Skeletons. If I could absorb their soul, I could create a lot of soul pills."
"Good.." With this said, Levi disappeared from the room.
Rathma stood alone, a wide grin spreading across his face.
"Hahaha~ Hahaha~"
After confirming that Levi left, Rathma couldn't help but laugh with excitement. It seems his mage name can be changed to Undead Soul Mage.

Everything in the cultivation world was moving in a positive direction.
The shadow guards were also slowly accumulating their power.
Shadow Guards had begun to appear in every major city across the three kingdoms on this island.
If time allowed, they would have even spread to smaller towns.
Most of the Shadow Guards were selected from beggars and poor families in Anyu Town. Some of them being from surrounding places.
Their role was to keep a watchful eye on any significant events happening in the cities. They would report important information directly to their station, which would then relay it to Anyu Town.
