Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 22 What the hell have they been researching all these years?

At the Beijing-Hong Kong Spiritual Value Research Institute, researcher Lu Nan was lounging on the sofa in his office, slacking off.

We can't entirely blame him, after all, he's been working almost 24 hours straight since yesterday.

When the values ​​on the research institute's instruments began to show abnormalities, Professor Luo Wan, along with Lu Nan and several other researchers, headed straight to the Blue Star Botanical Garden.

The process included: identifying the location of the abnormal spiritual energy, conducting long-term monitoring of spiritual energy fluctuations, collecting plant specimens from the surrounding area, setting up spiritual energy detection devices, deploying cameras to monitor the site over a long period, and analyzing the water ripples and geological conditions.

They had just finished the first phase of their work half an hour ago.

After leaving two researchers to finish up, Professor Rowan returned to the research institute first.

Lu Nan, the salted fish, hurriedly followed, and only now could he collapse and catch his breath.

Exhausted, Lu Nan couldn't fall asleep. Slumped on the sofa, she took out her mobile device and casually browsed through it.

As soon as he opened the China Spiritual Plant Forum, a viral video post caught his eye.

"Look quickly! You've never seen a weeping willow before! The kind that whips up wind blades with a whooshing sound!"

Oh.

Lu Nan scoffed. He was a spirit plant master, and a rare one at that, a full-support spirit plant contractor.

Having studied spiritual plants under Professor Luo for many years, he can be considered a well-known young scholar in the field of spiritual plants.

How come he's never heard of the ancient weeping willow tree being able to whip up wind blades? It must be AI-generated.

Subconsciously, he still clicked on the post.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Is it stuck?

Lu Nan sat up straight. It had been a long time since she had seen a post on the Huaguo Lingzhi Forum that mentioned a card machine.

wrong.

Why is it weeping willow again?

Working continuously had left Lu Nan somewhat mentally fogged up.

He remembered that the main character who forced him to work overtime was also a wild weeping willow that had been taken away by contract.

"Could it be such a coincidence?"

Lu Nan muttered to herself, persistently clicking on the post.

He squeezed in after only a short while.

It was some quick-handed student up in the teaching building who filmed the video of Ge Bai and Jiang Yan's battle using a mobile device.

The handheld camera wasn't very steady, but you can clearly see Da Liu throwing out wind blades multiple times in the video.

Even the scene of the wind blade shattering the porcupine's spikes was recorded clearly.

No way! You must be kidding!

The entire interstellar alliance has only discovered a dozen or so aggressive spiritual plants so far, and their aggressiveness is not very high, which is why they are defined as support-type spiritual plants.

The most powerful skill of the spirit plant is the strangulation attack of the devil vine.

What the hell is this wind blade?

What the hell have I been researching all these years?

A blurry video severely impacted Lu Nan's worldview.

At this point, he noticed that the forum had marked the video with a "true" label in the upper right corner.

This means that, after official verification, the video has been determined to be unedited and a live-action video.

There won't be any problem. The Huaguo Lingzhi Forum won't risk its reputation to endorse a fake video.

Lu Nan rewound the video to the very beginning and watched it carefully again, but still couldn't find any flaws or elements of acting.

The person who posted the video was very thoughtful, providing detailed information about the time and location of the video, as well as the two main characters, in the commentary section below the video.

Huaguo, Jinggang City, Chongming District Public Junior High School, Chuisi Guliu, Ge, Porcupine, Jiang...

Lu Nan astutely extracted the key points from the long, rambling message.

This city? The ancient weeping willow? Classmate Ge?!

Yesterday, Lu Nan also saw the information provided by the Lingzhi Garden and the Contract Registration Center.

He swallowed hard.

At this moment, he could basically conclude that the ancient willow tree that swung wind blades, and the girl standing next to the willow tree, were the subjects of their 24-hour research!

"Professor Luo! Come quick! Something terrible has happened!"

Lu Nan yelled and sprang up from the sofa, grabbed her mobile device, rushed out the door, and ran towards Professor Luo's office.

It seems that working 24 hours straight is definitely not his limit.

-

Professor Rowan held the mobile device to almost eye level and watched the video with a furrowed brow.

It wasn't that he had any particular emotions; it was just that the phone screen was a bit too small for him.

But soon, he was also deeply shocked by the content of the video.

Having studied spirit plants for so many years, he knew better than anyone that this meant the emergence of a completely new attack method for contracted spirit plants.

This is very important for both plant practitioners and plant researchers.

Professor Rowan put down his mobile device and took a deep breath.

He looked at Lu Nan seriously.

"Find a way to contact Ge Bai immediately and invite her to the research institute. We can also go to her place in person."

"Get it done now; this is the highest priority."

"Ask Xiao Li if they've retrieved any information or files about this girl, Ge Bai."

"Tell him to hurry up. If there are any problems at any stage, come to me immediately and I'll take care of it."

In fact, when the Spirit Plant Contract Center informed Professor Luo about the wild spirit plant contract yesterday, he had already arranged for someone to retrieve Ge Bai's information, but it was still going through the process.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Lu Nan understood the importance of the matter and hurriedly ran out.

Professor Luo was left alone in his office, deep in thought.

Less than two minutes later, the office door was flung open again, and it was Lu Nan again.

Professor Rowan looked at him with some surprise: "You've made contact? So quickly?"

Lu Nan didn't go inside; he hid half his body behind the door, grinning sheepishly, "Um, Professor Luo, my mobile terminal is still with you."

Professor Luo Wan was speechless and tossed the mobile terminal he was holding to Lu Nan.

Lu Nan took the phone with a grin before closing the door and leaving.

Shake his head.

Professor Rowan couldn't understand what he had seen in this kid back then.

Aside from his research talent being passable, he has flaws in every other aspect.

He reached out and rubbed his temples.

Gobai, Gobai!

I feel like I've heard this name before; it's not like I saw it for the first time yesterday.

He suddenly remembered, opened the drawer, and took out an envelope, which was sent from the Blue Star Welfare Home.

Professor Rowan finally remembered, what a coincidence.

My old friend's daughter even wrote a letter asking me to take care of the girl.

Rowan looked at the envelope and smiled wryly. This time, both for public and private reasons, he really had to take it seriously and do his best to help.

My old friend is really lucky; how did they raise such a wonderful little girl?

Rowan is now even more curious about Gobai and that ancient weeping willow.

I always felt that they could give me far more surprises than these.

-

Back in her office, Lu Nan immediately pulled up the form sent from the contract center and easily found Ge Bai's mobile terminal number.

He took a deep breath and dialed directly using his mobile device.

Beep. Beep. Beep...

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

No matter how many years have passed or how many times we've traveled through time, the unanswered notification tone remains just as uninteresting.

Undeterred, Lu Nan dialed the number again.

Beep. Beep.…

Unbeknownst to him, on the other end of the mobile terminal, Ge Bai desperately wanted to curse the person who was calling her.
