Chapter 212: Family Treasure
Thousands of years ago, the news that the Liuhong family owned a top-level spiritual tree spread, and everyone believed that the reason why the Liuhong family had so many body refining masters was all thanks to this top-level spiritual tree.

With the strength of the Liuhong family, they are fully capable of withstanding the pressure brought by a top-level spiritual tree and will not attract the covetousness of larger forces.

Otherwise, let alone other countries, the generals and royal families within the Sakura clan alone will not let them have an easy time.

Apparently, the Liuhong family had been deliberately concealing this matter for thousands of years, claiming that the intermediate sacred tree was a top-level spiritual tree, and had kept it secret for so long.

If Qi Pinghai had not conquered Liuhong Island this time, I’m afraid we would still not know the truth of this matter.

Before this, Qi Pinghai also specifically instructed his deputy general to keep the matter secret and not let anyone know about it.

Several lieutenant generals and soldiers who knew about this matter were ordered to keep their mouths shut to ensure that the information would not be leaked again.

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. The value of an intermediate sacred tree is so great that even the Daning Dynasty cannot keep it, let alone Liuhong Island.

For safety reasons, it is better to keep this matter secret and then secretly present it to His Majesty the Emperor later.

Soon, an elder of the Liuhong family who knew about the existence of the Dragon Blood Tree was captured and interrogated by Qi Pinghai himself. At the same time, he sealed off the Liuhong family's ancestral land and prevented anyone from entering.

The elder of the Liuhong family was quite tight-lipped. Fortunately, Qi Pinghai was well prepared. He took out special drugs and poisons, and after some torture and drugging, he finally got what he wanted.

Just as Qi Pinghai guessed, the Liuhong family had obtained this dragon blood sacred tree thousands of years ago. However, the Liuhong family at that time also knew that it was a serious matter, so only a few senior members of the family knew about it.

This intermediate sacred tree was also transplanted to the ancestral land of the Liuhong family. In each generation, only a few people, such as the head of the family, the first elder, and the second elder, knew about it, and no one else would let them know.

For example, in this generation, only five people knew about the Dragon Blood Tree, three of whom had been killed by the Pinghai Army, and the remaining ones were the second elder and the young patriarch who was in hiding.

Qi Pinghai immediately ordered people to capture the young patriarch and kill him, while also taking control of the two elders.

Over thousands of years, the Liuhong family has obtained several dragon blood fruits, more than half of which were secretly sold in exchange for the resources and treasures needed by the Liuhong family, but there are still three left.

Including the one he just picked, Qi Pinghai obtained a total of four dragon blood fruits. Each one is worth more than tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones, and they are the kind that are in short supply.

However, the dragon blood fruit is a low-level divine fruit, and it is also a rare treasure that can greatly improve the body refining cultivation. Its value has exceeded that of most mid-level divine pills and medicines. The medicinal power contained in it is extremely enormous and it is simply not something that body refining warriors or Qi refining masters can take.

The reason why the Liuhong family was able to train so many masters of body refining was not because they took the Dragon Blood Fruit, but because they took the juice of the Dragon Blood Tree, which was diluted thousands of times.

Even if it is just the juice of the Dragon Blood Tree, it is enough for the Liuhong Family to train so many physical training masters. The medicinal power contained in the Dragon Blood Fruit is a thousand times more than that. You can imagine how amazing the effect is.

It is also thanks to the Liuhong family's inability to absorb the medicinal power of the dragon blood fruit, otherwise they would not have been able to accumulate so many dragon blood fruits. Now they all belong to Qi Pinghai, or Lu Changjing.

Qi Pinghai was also unable to absorb the medicinal power of the dragon blood fruit, so he planned to present it to His Majesty the Emperor, and of course, the dragon blood sacred tree was also indispensable.

After receiving the news from Qi Pinghai, Lu Changjing was so surprised that he was speechless. He immediately set off and rushed to the East China Sea. With his speed, it only took him more than an hour to cross more than 10,000 miles and appear on Liuhong Island.

After seeing Qi Pinghai, Lu Changjing couldn't help but admire him: "Master Qi, you are really my lucky star. You just brought me a bottle of soul-sensing divine liquid some time ago, and now you have discovered the dragon blood divine tree. How can I reward you?"

As he spoke, Lu Changjing handed several bottles of top-grade elixirs to Qi Pinghai: "These are just right for your practice. After a while, I will ask my senior brother to help you with hair removal and marrow cleansing. This will increase your chances of breaking through the shackles of gods and demons. It can be regarded as a small token of my appreciation."

The secret technique of marrow cleansing can not only be used to remove hair and cleanse the marrow for women, but also for men. Of course, when removing hair and cleansing the marrow for men, Lu Changjing will not use the Nine Yang Qi. At most, he will use the power of heaven and earth and the energy of gods and demons.

Although the Nine Yang Qi is effective when used on men, it always feels weird. Lu Changjing is not as good as Long Yang, so forget it.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I am deeply overwhelmed." Qi Pinghai hurriedly took Lu Changjing to the ancestral land of the Liuhong family and told Lu Changjing the details of the matter.

After listening, Lu Changjing said apologetically: "Master Qi, do you want to keep the memory of the Dragon Blood Tree?"

"This..." Qi Pinghai was stunned and looked at Lu Changjing in astonishment: "Your Majesty, do you have a way to erase these memories?"

Lu Changjing nodded: "Yes, and there are no side effects."

"Then Your Majesty, please erase my memory of this. The Dragon Blood Tree is of great importance, and I dare not keep it in my memory. If some powerful demons and monsters find out, the consequences will be disastrous." Qi Pinghai naturally understood what Lu Changjing meant, and he also wanted it very much.

As for the existence of the Dragon Blood Tree, even if you use your toes to think about it, you will know that it is of great significance. It can determine the rise and fall of an empire, and even the emergence of a family of gods and demons.

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Once the news leaks out, not to mention the surrounding dynasties, even the three great divine dynasties may be tempted and send gods and demons to snatch it.

For Qi Pinghai, this was a hot secret that had better be eliminated.

Lu Changjing apologized, used the soul-changing technique to erase Qi Pinghai's memory of this matter, and then entered the Liuhong family's ancestral land alone.

Afterwards, he wiped the memories of those in the Pinghai Army who knew about this matter, changed the Dragon Blood Sacred Tree into a top-level spiritual tree, and directly killed the second elder of the Liuhong Family to prevent this matter from being leaked.

After doing all this, Lu Changjing carefully transplanted the Dragon Blood Tree, brought it back to the Baiyujing Imperial City, and planted it in a secret room deep in the imperial study.

The Dragon Blood Tree does not have high requirements for the environment. As long as there is sufficient spiritual energy, it can basically survive. The only problem is that it takes too long.

Fortunately, the juice contained in its leaves and branches also has extremely amazing effects, and can be used to give Rong Xiyao, Tang Qingyi and others.

After finishing all this, Lu Changjing's eyes fell on the four dragon blood fruits, with a smile on his face.
