Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 39 Spiritual Plant: Memory Tree

"Ahem, Miss Shuang, wait a moment. I've thought of something. It's really hard for our Youyun Chamber of Commerce to find a spiritual tree that can help us improve our understanding. But I have a suitable one in my room. It's called Yiliu, and it's a spiritual tree related to memory."

"The Memory Tree emits a refreshing fragrance that can enhance our memory and help us sleep well. Furthermore, it bears fruit that can increase our understanding and thinking abilities."

"This just meets Master Zhong's needs. Of course, Memory Flow is still just a small tree right now. It will take some time for it to mature and bear fruit... However, Master Zhong Cang also said that he needs a small tree as well."

"..."

Yayun's sudden change of mind made Shuang Lingxue silent for a moment, but soon she thanked her politely and paid the money to complete the transaction with Yayun.

"Since Sister Yayun is willing to part with her treasure, Ling Xue would like to thank her on behalf of Mr. Zhong Cang. I wonder how much this spiritual tree will cost..."

The transaction was completed, Shuang Lingxue took Yiliushu away, and Yaxin, who had been holding back for a while, finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

"Master, why did you suddenly give up the Memory Tree? Didn't you say you liked this spiritual plant very much?"

"To make friends with Zhong Cang."

This made the half-demon fox girl Yaxin even more confused. "Why? The Shuang family is already planning to give up on Zhong Cang, so why should we increase our investment..."

Before she finished speaking, she thought of something: "Ms. Shuang Lingxue was about to cancel the commission. It's not that she doesn't plan to buy it, but she wants to choose a spiritual plant for Zhong Cang from the family treasury?"

This made Yayun chuckle: "You are not that stupid yet."

Reaching out her delicate hand and lightly tapping the table, Yayun said with considerable interest, "I don't believe Shuang Lingxue is so kind to him simply out of love. Zhong Cang must have something worth Shuang Lingxue's attention... Xiaoxin, tell your men to investigate Zhong Cang's situation. I want to know what it is about him that's worth the Shuang family investing so much resources in."

Yaxin: "Yes, Master."

……

Zhong Cang didn't know yet that Shuang Lingxue had already bought him a spiritual tree to increase his understanding and was preparing to send it to him tomorrow.

At this moment, he has returned to Huangni Village.

However, after entering the village, Zhong Cang did not immediately run to Tess's position and absorb the spiritual energy accumulated by Tess.

He came to the village logistics department and started looking for some "seeds", some - bamboo "seeds".

After learning from Vice President Qin Xiuye ​​that observing the growth of trees could increase one's understanding and help improve the efficiency of refining spiritual energy, Zhong Cang began to think about which plants grow the fastest and best.

After some thought, he finally set his sights on bamboo.

As far as he knows, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world.

Just like moso bamboo, its growth can be seen with the naked eye. During the peak growing season, it can grow one meter a day, or even one and a half meters a day. This is for ordinary moso bamboo.

The exaggerated growth rate made Zhong Cang feel that observing it more often would definitely help him understand the mystery and true meaning of growth.

After finding the bamboo seeds and burying them in the third-level spiritual land and asking Tess to look after them, Zhong Cang sat cross-legged in the spiritual land and began to absorb spiritual energy.

——This time, he did not use magic power to catalyze it, but prepared to let the bamboo grow on its own.

He felt that it was not the use of magic power to induce bamboo growth, but the growth of bamboo in nature that could bring him some insights and inspirations about growth.

……

"breathe……"

Time passed slowly as Zhong Cang practiced cultivation, and soon, an entire afternoon had passed. The long hours of refining spiritual energy had left Zhong Cang feeling dizzy and his meridians aching.

Feeling this, Zhong Cang immediately knew that his body's endurance had reached its limit and he needed to rest for a while.

When Zhong Cang woke up from his meditation, the first thing he noticed was that his magic power had made great progress.

The most obvious change was the tree seedling spirit seed in Zhong Cang's mind. Its trunk had expanded from the size of a bowl (it was the size of a fist yesterday) to almost twice the size of a plate.

This growth rate is even faster than yesterday.

"Dean Qin's guidance is indeed useful. Observing the growth of flowers, plants, and trees will indeed help refine mana."

In the stage of nurturing the spirit seeds, the cultivators mostly use spiritual energy to make the spirit seeds that they visualize and nurture become more solid and powerful.

But there are also differences in the ways to become powerful. Without understanding the nature of the skills, the cultivator's practice is just to use spiritual energy to force the spirit seeds to become stronger. This situation of knowing the results but not the reasons behind them means that the spiritual energy attracted by the cultivator can only be of some effectiveness.

On the other hand, cultivators who understand the profound meaning of the exercises know how their spirit seeds should grow and how to grow them to the best. In this way, they can exert the greatest effect with their full spiritual energy.

There is no doubt that for the same practice, the latter is faster than the former.

Of course, although most people understand this, it is not an easy task to master the mysteries of their own skills. Therefore, even if they know it, they can only slowly comprehend and understand it.

In the end, they may or may not understand it, and even if they do, it will certainly take them a long time.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang didn't have to do so.

He can communicate with the souls of plants in a meditative state, as if he can observe the growth of flowers, plants and trees with his own eyes. This immersive experience allows him to understand a lot of information just by communicating with trees once.

"Nature affinity, plant language, and meditation... the various talents of a druid are perfectly suited to cultivation, especially since the cultivation method I chose is a wood-based one."

"Oh, by the way, I can't forget Tess. Without her to transform my spiritual energy, I would still be worried about how to find it and I wouldn't be able to practice freely."

After sighing, Zhong Cang, whose meridians in his body had reached their limit, did not rest, but continued to be busy.

Of course, this time he was no longer practicing. He was busy fulfilling his promise with Shuang Lingxue - to produce cold-resistant and high-yield grains.

Just like yesterday, Zhong Cang, after being reminded by Shuang Lingxue, still wanted to merge the soul-hosting moss with wheat.

"The spirit moss cannot fuse with fully grown wheat. In that case, let's start from the seeds."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang called Tess and asked her to release the spores and use the tiny spores to parasitize the wheat seeds.

"嘤嘤......"

After receiving the order, Tess immediately took action.

However, she failed at the first step.

After all, it is a spiritual plant, or a demon plant. Compared with ordinary wheat seeds, there is an essential difference between the two.

Not to mention, among the spiritual plants, Tess's original form, the parasitic moss, is also a ferocious monster with predatory instincts.

Zhong Cang allowed the two to merge, allowing the spores of the parasitic moss to invade the wheat seeds and begin to germinate. In most cases, the wheat seeds were treated as nutrients and absorbed by the germinated spores.

"嘤嘤......"
