National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 84: Measuring the Sky

Lin Zhi pondered in his heart.

In terms of potential, all 10 spiritual plants are very good spiritual plants.

In terms of types, the magic weapon series focuses on close combat, while the magic weapon series focuses on long-range combat. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, he mainly chooses which attack method to use and what weapons and magic weapons are convenient for him to use.

Generally speaking, magic weapons are mainly long-range and require soul power to operate. The disadvantage is that they are easily targeted once someone gets close to them.

Melee fighters are afraid of being kite-ed.

If Lin Zhi were to choose according to his own personality, the magic weapon system would naturally be more secure.

But he currently does not lack long-range attacks, but rather melee weapons.

Close combat is his weakness.

Therefore, he felt that he should choose a spiritual plant from the magical weapon series.

Among these magical weapon-related spiritual plants, ironwood is a "stick", pineapple is a two-handed sword, gladiolus is a sword formation, hammer and winter melon is a hammer, wolf tooth thorn is a mace, red cherry sorghum is a spear, leather whip willow is a whip, and purple barbarian knife is a broadsword.

Among these weapons, like most people, Lin Zhi’s favorite is naturally the whip... no, the sword!

Therefore, the ones he wanted to choose most at first were pineapple and gladiolus.

However, when Lin Zhi saw the "Heavenly Ruler" with option ten, he hesitated.

The Messenger of Heaven is a plant of the genus Opuntia. It is shaped like a sword and belongs to the magic weapon system. It seems that it can also be used as a magic weapon.

It’s just that most people who have cultivated the Messenger have cultivated it “wrongly”, so there is not much information about it.

On the contrary, for common spiritual plants such as gladiolus and pineapple, because so many people cultivate them, the information on their various evolutionary pathways is very complete.

What really made Lin Zhi decide to choose it was its name. Perhaps it had something to do with the ancient treasure of merit and virtue, the Measuring Ruler?

After all, this Wutong tree had previously shown properties similar to those in the myths of previous lives.

"Anyway, what I need is a weapon. I have the manual. Any weapon I choose can be positively evolved. Let's give it a try!"

Finally, Lin Zhi chose the "Heavenly Ruler", which looked like a magical weapon but was actually a magic weapon.

Nutrients and spiritual energy had long been buried in the soul soil. As his choice was completed, the spiritual plants in the soil began to sprout rapidly. Under the effect of the purple soil, they expanded rapidly.

Lin Zhi quickly jumped backwards, and in less than three seconds, it turned into a sword-shaped cactus several dozen meters long.

The manual's prompt suddenly sounded.

[Your Measuring Ruler has reached the conditions for the New Moon evolution. Based on your current situation and resources, you can choose 5+1 of the following evolution directions. ]

【Star Level】

[Option 1: Terminal differentiation]

[Option 2: Branch Strengthening]

[Option 3: Super dense alloy]

[Choice 4: Super Sharp]

[Choice 5: Life-eating and Blood-drinking]

[Option 6: Super toughness]

[Choice 7: Size as you wish]

[Option 8: Automatic flight]

[Option 9: Super cool special effects]

[Choice 10: Pleasant Slashing]

Moon Stage

[Option 11: Soul Shock (Causes the same amount of soul damage to the attacked enemy.]

[Option 12: Shadow Killer (can cause damage to the enemy by killing the shadow)]

[Choice 13: Paralysis Repentance (Release the sword light, there is a chance that the enemy with sins will feel repentance, and the hands and feet will be paralyzed and unable to use strength.]

Lin Zhi analyzed the ten star-level options one by one and roughly divided them into three categories.

The first category is the choice of increasing the depth of the ruler, such as strengthening branches, super dense alloy, super toughness, super sharpness, these four are must-have options. The second category is the choice of magic weapon, such as super cool special effects and pleasant slashing. Their names seem unreliable, and maybe they are really unreliable. Lin Zhi prefers to evolve in the direction of melee cold weapons because he wants to make up for this melee shortcoming.

The third category is options to increase its functions, such as peripheral differentiation, life-eating and blood-drinking, size as desired, and automatic flight.

Of these four options, the first ones he ruled out were terminal differentiation and automatic flight.

The terminal differentiation only makes the main body of the Meteor Scale more numerous, and the automatic flight only adds the sword-controlling function.

Among the remaining two choices, Lin Zhi most wanted to choose Life-Sucking Blood-Drinking, which could obviously restore endurance. However, considering that the Mesocritus had already grown to several feet in height and would continue to grow in the future, he had no choice but to choose Big or Small Ruyi.

There are only three levels left to choose from. Repentance Paralysis is too limited, Shadow Killer is useless, so he immediately chooses Soul Shock.

[You have selected Branch Strengthening, Super Dense Alloy, Super Toughness, Super Sharpness, Size as You Want, and Soul Shock. You can use the following materials to evolve the Mesosphere Ruler to Star Rank and Crescent Rank. ]

Lin Zhi configured the materials according to the instructions in the manual and mixed the evolutionary potion to upgrade the Tianchi.

In less than a day, his measuring stick was successfully promoted.

Lin Zhi stood in the soul soil. When he looked up, he could see the measuring stick, which was 10 meters tall, with a golden sword body covered with colorful thorns.

The golden sword body is a fusion of extraordinary metals such as blue copper, hematite, earth aluminum, flame zinc, purple titanium, and lapis lazuli.

It has excellent properties such as toughness, sharpness, density, hardness, corrosion resistance, immunity to various attribute attacks, and shielding observation. It is an extraordinary alloy that humans cannot analyze or synthesize on their own.

In fact, with Lin Zhi's inventory, it is impossible to cultivate it successfully, because the number of extraordinary metals required for the evolution of this plant is too large, as many as thousands of kinds.

However, the world tree sap crystals can replace evolutionary materials. Therefore, he only used blue copper and tens of thousands of world tree sap crystals to complete the initial cultivation of the Mesopotamian Ruler.

Lin Zhi looked at the cactus and waved his hand. It instantly activated its size, then rose from the ground and shrank into a sword about one meter and two centimeters long.

As it emerged from the soil, its roots quickly tangled and then hardened into a colorful hilt.

Lin Zhi picked it up and held it in his hand.

The sword gave him a perfect weight. He tried to swing it a few times, and then tried to master the size as he wished, controlling the measuring ruler to go in and out of the soil, inserting and pulling it out, and then inserting and pulling it out again.

"Not bad!"

Lin Zhi took out a metal ingot and chopped it hard with the measuring ruler.

boom!
Sparks flew and the metal ingot was instantly cut in half.

"It's very sharp! However, I seem to be lacking a sword technique."

Lin Zhi searched his memory and soon found the introductory swordsmanship course that he had taken in the college library.

The basics of sword fighting are just eight types: stabbing, chopping, lifting, hanging, clouding, pointing, collapsing and cutting.

But it is easy to get started but difficult to master.

However, Lin Zhi possessed the knowledge fruit tree, and had just evolved the ability to thoroughly digest knowledge, so he was naturally not afraid of the difficulty of getting started with swordsmanship.

It directly retrieved the knowledge about swordsmanship and began to produce fruit again.

I remember that there were dozens of sword techniques hidden in the library.

Lin Zhi remembered that among the fruit of knowledge he had eaten, there was an extremely advanced sword technique called "Invisible Sword Technique", but those who had learned it called it: the random sword technique.

This sword technique is more about theory than practice, it is profound and mysterious, and not something that ordinary people can learn.

If you understand it, it means the person who wrote down the technique is a great swordsman. If you don’t understand it, it means you are dull.

Anyway, in Lin Zhi's opinion, this sword technique is really just a random slash.

However, when he condensed the fruit of knowledge again and thoroughly digested this knowledge, a different feeling emerged in his heart.

"This... is this swordsmanship?"

He couldn't help but swing the sword in his hand.

In his hands, the measuring stick is like a fish in water. To those who don't understand each move, it may seem like he is just hacking around randomly, but people who know about it can see how many changes are contained in each move, and how natural and smooth it is, returning to the basics.

A minute later, Lin Zhi suddenly stopped because he felt a sudden pain in his head.

Then, a broken bamboo root was seen appearing in the source soil where the golden stalagmite was originally located.

"The golden stalagmite has been destroyed! Oh no, the pursuers are coming!"
