"Can tree sap really be drunk?"

The highest provincial governor of Anxi Province, Shi Mingcheng, stared at the light green liquid in the vine cup, murmuring to himself.

For some reason, a strange thought popped into his head—wondering if the vine cup could be taken away as a keepsake.

It's not that Director Shi lacked a cup to use, nor because the vine cup was particularly unique or beautiful.

It was because the origin of this vine cup was too special.

Because it came from an incredibly powerful Tree Spirit, it also symbolized Director Shi's remarkable encounter today.

At this moment.

Director Shi's mindset was not like that of a high-ranking provincial governor, but more like that of an ordinary person curious about supernatural power.

"Drink up!"

Long Xingyun said, then sat down and took a sip from the vine cup.

Wu Dingtian did the same.

Director Shi followed suit, raising the vine cup and taking a sip.

The moment the sap touched his taste buds, he couldn't help but wrinkle his brows, nearly spitting it out.

Because tree sap was both bitter and astringent.

Too awful!

But Director Shi forcibly suppressed the urge to spit it out, forcing it down his throat.

After all, this was tree sap "served" by Mr. Spirit Crows, and being able to drink it was an honor.

If he spat it out, it would be too rude.

After a moment.

Something wondrous happened.

The bitterness swiftly faded, and an indescribable sweetness suddenly exploded from the taste buds.

This sweetness not only delighted the taste buds but also reached deep into the soul.

Director Shi couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah."

The two leaders also showed expressions of surprise.

Long Xingyun carefully sensed for a moment, with a hint of joy in his tone: "I seem to feel as if my physical value is being nourished."

Recently, the highest commander of the Blood Banner Legion inexplicably entered a bottleneck period.

No matter how hard he trained, his physical value showed no signs of growth.

Unexpectedly, after drinking a sip of tree sap today, the bottleneck seemed to show signs of loosening—how could this not make him happy?

Wu Dingtian shook his head, muttering: "It's really strange, why am I feeling sleepy? Didn't Mr. Spirit Crows say it has a 'soul-soothing and brain-clearing' effect?"

Since it's supposed to "clear the mind," one should feel awake, but instead, he felt sleepy.

This obviously seemed a bit contradictory.

Director Shi interjected, "Me too."

Long Xingyun sensed it and asked, "Do you also feel a sense of lightness, not wanting to think about the usual worries?"

Director Shi nodded greatly: "Exactly! That's it."

Wu Dingtian suddenly realized: "I get it! The 'soul-soothing and brain-clearing' effect Mr. Spirit Crows mentioned is actually a very special soul-soothing effect."

Long Xingyun also understood: "No wonder I feel the bottleneck loosening."

Wu Dingtian took another sip of tree sap, his expression becoming increasingly joyful: "The current effect of the tree sap is not particularly significant, but in the long run, it has great benefits for us."

Director Shi, not being a Superpower User, couldn't understand what they were talking about, just looked puzzled.

Wu Dingtian glanced at Director Shi and explained: "The soul-soothing and brain-clearing effect of the tree sap can be understood as reducing the burden on the soul, and without a burden, one can move forward lightly."

Long Xingyun pointed at his head: "The Blood Banner Legion has just been established, with a lot of miscellaneous affairs, my usual worries are many, affecting my soul state.

"Now that I've drunk the tree sap, I feel light all over, as if my soul state is completely restored, so the physical bottleneck has shown signs of loosening."

Director Shi finally understood: "So, is this psychological influence on the body?"

Long Xingyun nodded: "Exactly, that's it."

Actually, "psychological influence on the body" isn't the accurate term because the mystery of the soul goes beyond just "psychology."

But for ordinary people, this is the easiest explanation to understand.

Wu Dingtian laughed: "Director Shi, for ordinary people without superpowers, drinking tree sap might have the magical effect of eliminating all diseases, perhaps even living a few more years?"

Director Shi couldn't help asking: "Really?"

Wu Dingtian replied: "Changes in soul state have an obvious impact on the body. For Old Dragon, it means the physical bottleneck is loosening.

"For ordinary people, it could mean a sudden great boost in immunity, and with enhanced immunity, one doesn't get sick easily, so longevity follows naturally."

Long Xingyun interjected: "With increased immunity, even advanced malignant tumors might quickly self-heal, so extending life is certainly not a problem."

Director Shi listened with delight: "So that's how it is."

The saying "since ancient times, the only hardship is death" rings true; the higher one's position, the more one fears death.

As the highest governor of a province, he naturally was no exception and wished to live as long as possible.

Director Shi looked at the vine cup in his hand, involuntarily praising: "It's incredible!"

Long Xingyun raised his vine cup: "To Mr. Spirit Crows!"

Wu Dingtian also raised his vine cup: "Thanks to the graciousness of Mr. Spirit Crows!"

Director Shi took another sip of tree sap.

Though it was still bitter in taste, he didn't wrinkle his brows.

He quietly decided in his heart to sneak the vine cup home later as a keepsake.

Surely Mr. Spirit Crows won't mind?

A minute later.

Everyone finished drinking the tree sap.

A gentle voice sounded again: "Everyone, the resurrection ceremony is about to begin, please do not approach the fossil."
