Buzhou Mountain, transformed from Pangu's spine, boasts the reputation of being the foremost treasure land in the Great Desolation.
True to its name, Buzhou Mountain nurtures countless divine spiritual roots and magical treasures, making it an essential destination for cultivators in the Great Desolation venturing out to seek treasures and explore hidden wonders.
In contemporary terms, it's the Great Desolation's biggest influencer hotspot, with countless powerful beings and ancient ancestors leaving their footprints on Buzhou Mountain, and Patriarch Minghe was no exception.
At this moment, after a swift search in his mind, Xu Fang quickly recalled Patriarch Minghe's fortuitous encounter on Buzhou Mountain.
"So it's this kind of treasure. Let me see where you are!"
Xu Fang thought to himself, and immediately began searching the treasure map with practiced ease. Soon, he found a result.
Xu Fang clicked on the search result, and the treasure map quickly zoomed in, displaying the treasure before him.
Gazing at the shimmering treasure on the treasure map, Xu Fang nodded decisively.
"This item has already ripened. It seems Patriarch Minghe is undoubtedly looking for this."
Xu Fang thought to himself, having already confirmed where Patriarch Minghe would go next.
"Brother Ruler, let's ignore them for now and go treasure hunting first."
Xu Fang transmitted his voice to the Liang Tian Chi. Since the target was confirmed, there was no need for him to chase after Patriarch Minghe. He could simply head directly to the location marked on the treasure map.
Liang Tian Chi was quite perplexed. Wasn't this kid Xu worried about the safety of Golden Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue just now? Why was he so at ease now?
However, since Xu Fang said so and there was no immediate danger to Golden Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, Liang Tian Chi agreed.
After settling with Liang Tian Chi, Xu Fang immediately spoke to Kong Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist, I sense a treasure nearby. Shall we go search for it first?"
"Aren't we going to look for Peng and Xue anymore?"
Kong Xuan was puzzled. Xu Fang's frantic demeanor earlier made him feel as if his younger brother had been dismembered.
"No need. They are not in danger for now."
Xu Fang smiled slightly. "Perhaps we'll meet again soon."
As Xu Fang spoke, after confirming the direction, he headed off in one direction.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan shook his head. Although he didn't know how Xu Fang could be so calm, he had always been right when he said things, and this time should be fine, right?
Seeing Xu Fang leave, Kong Xuan stopped dwelling on it and quickly followed.
Following the guidance of the treasure map, Xu Fang soon led Kong Xuan to a valley.
Looking around, the valley was lush and green, brimming with boundless vitality.
However, upon closer inspection, the spiritual energy was completely normal, showing no signs of any treasure.
"Fellow Daoist, what treasure could be here?"
After sensing around, Kong Xuan found nothing and had to give up, asking Xu Fang.
He had to admit that in the matter of sensing treasures, he truly had no talent, far inferior to Fellow Daoist Xu Fang.
"It's far away but also close at hand. Fellow Daoist, watch how I do it."
As Xu Fang spoke, he tossed out the Liang Tian Chi, and the power of merit permeated outwards, instantly concealing the area.
Then, with mana surging in his hand, he struck forward.
Boom!
The attack hit the seemingly empty space ahead, instantly erupting in a dazzling burst of light.
Kong Xuan gazed at the flashes of light as a primordial grand formation slowly emerged, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Your skill, Fellow Daoist, no matter how many times I see it, I am always amazed!"
Just now, he had looked at the place and saw nothing, yet Xu Fang seemed to have seen through everything and knew where the treasure was.
Xu Fang watched as the rising light attempted to surge towards the sky, but with Liang Tian Chi suppressing it from above, the light was quickly forced back down, only able to rove restlessly within this space.
Seeing this, Xu Fang nodded with great satisfaction.
It seemed this method was indeed feasible. In the future, when seeking treasures, one should not be reckless but should conceal the treasure's light to avoid attracting others' attention.
The primordial grand formation emerged, and as the light flowed, the scene within the formation became visible.
Within the primordial grand formation, there was nothing else but a giant banana tree standing tall and magnificent.
"Is this a primordial spiritual root?"
Kong Xuan felt the primordial aura emanating from the Banana Fan and was overjoyed.
"To be precise, this is the Primordial Spiritual Root Four Symbols Banana Tree."
Xu Fang corrected him, looking at the treasure map beside him.
"Primordial Spiritual Root Four Symbols Banana Tree?"
Kong Xuan mumbled, looking at the giant banana tree. Although the banana tree was immense, it only had four leaves.
"Four Symbols, Four Symbols. Could it be the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind?"
Kong Xuan sensed the power emanating from the banana leaves. Wasn't this the power of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind?
Xu Fang nodded and praised him.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist is very intelligent!"
This Primordial Spiritual Root Four Symbols Banana Tree, despite having only four leaves, each leaf was an unparalleled treasure, containing the attributes of earth, water, fire, and wind.
These four leaves were the greatest fortuitous encounter of this Primordial Spiritual Root Four Symbols Banana Tree. Once plucked and refined, they would become a Houtian Supreme Treasure.
As the leaves grow on the banana tree, taking them off naturally forms a Banana Fan.
Yes, it is the Banana Fan used by Princess Iron Fan in the future Journey to the West tribulation.
This was why Xu Fang was certain that Patriarch Minghe's fortuitous encounter this time was the Four Symbols Banana Tree.
Princess Iron Fan was known as the Rakshasa Princess, and the Rakshasa clan, or the Asura clan, was created by Patriarch Minghe.
With this connection, it was entirely certain that the Banana Fan in Princess Iron Fan's possession was a gift from Patriarch Minghe.
Therefore, the fortuitous encounter Patriarch Minghe sensed at this moment was this Primordial Spiritual Root Four Symbols Banana Tree on Buzhou Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist, since the treasure is right before us, why don't we collect it quickly?"
Seeing Xu Fang's inaction, Kong Xuan quickly said, he didn't want to repeat the incident with the Primordial Gourd Vine.
"No rush, no rush. Let the banana tree sway for a while longer."
Xu Fang said, his consciousness already spreading out, paying attention to the movements around them.
"Why have you two slowed down? I feel my fortuitous encounter is just ahead. Let's press on with all our might!"
"Senior, you are unaware of this. Treasure hunting, if nothing unexpected happens, will surely have unexpected turns. The closer you get to the final moment, the more cautious you must be!"
"There's such a saying? Alright, let's proceed slowly!"
Xu Fang smiled faintly as he listened to these whispers.
Although Golden Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue didn't possess his so-called divine ability to sense treasures, they had gained experience from following him on treasure hunts for so long.
At last, they had successfully led Patriarch Minghe to this Four Symbols Banana Tree!
