Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 5 Did they even ask me? They just slapped a spiritual contract on me!

Ge Bai drove his small electric scooter alone along the main road into the depths of the Blue Star Spiritual Plant Garden.

The map shows that the Lingzhi Garden and the Botanical Garden have two entrances that connect to each other, located at the northeast and northwest corners.

She is now entering from the northeast corner of the Spirit Plant Garden, and will pass through the rainforest area, forest area, grassland area, desert area in sequence, and finally reach the plateau area before returning to the Spirit Plant Garden from the northwest corner.

Shortly after entering the rainforest area, Gobai activated his plant communicator mode.

Compared to the previously noisy and bustling seedling nursery, Lingzhi Garden is exceptionally quiet.

Perhaps the spiritual plants here have lived here for too long and have long lost their charm.

When she slowed down her mobility scooter or got out to touch the branches of some of the spiritual plants, it was as if she could hear the plants breathing softly and snoring rhythmically.

The sounds emitted by these spiritual plants were not even as loud as the sounds of birds and beasts flying around in the garden.

This explains why it's difficult to form contracts with wild spiritual plants.

After all, the plant is sleeping. How can you just start a contract right away? The plant might not even be awake yet. It would be a miracle if the contract were to succeed.

Ge Bai wasn't in a hurry. Like a true tourist, he patiently wandered through the garden, curiously looking around and observing everything.

It's currently peak season for contracts, and unlike the bustling Spirit Plant Garden next door, Ge Bai didn't encounter any other visitors along the way, as if she were the only human in the entire Spirit Plant Garden.

After driving for more than 10 minutes, the surrounding scenery changed.

She left the rainforest area and entered the forest area.

The spiritual plants in this area are not as crowded or lush as those in the rainforest, but they are still unique.

The status of the Gobai Spirit Plant Communicator was always on.

Suddenly, she was drawn to the noise coming from the lakeside not far from the road.

"Brother Rong! Can you please control your branches? They're almost drooping over me again."

Following the sound, Ge Bai looked up and saw the lake water rippling with blue waves. On the small island in the center of the lake, a tall banyan tree stood firmly rooted in the middle.

The banyan tree has a canopy like an umbrella, with numerous branches on its trunk, forming a complex and intricate network that resembles a giant green net. The branches droop down and embed themselves in the soil, merging with the root system to create a dense canopy that covers most of the island.

The one speaking was an ancient weeping willow tree that stood abruptly on the edge of the island.

The ancient willow has a thick and upright trunk, with branches extending upwards and branching into countless slender twigs that hang down gracefully, almost touching the lake surface.

Although it cannot match the size and thickness of a banyan tree, the ancient weeping willow is still considered to be a very vigorous plant.

Ge Bai parked his small mobility scooter by the roadside, found the corridor leading to the small island in the middle of the lake, and walked towards the island.

Gu Liu was still shouting loudly.

"Ugh! I don't want to stay here anymore! I want to go somewhere else! I'll even move you back to the other side!!!"

As he spoke, he shook the willow branches that were swaying in the wind.

The sight of willow branches drooping gently should have been pleasing to the eye, but this ancient willow tree transformed it into a chaotic dance of demons.

"Little Willow, stop arguing. If you hadn't angered Peach Demoness, you wouldn't have been moved here."

This must be the sound of a banyan tree, much deeper and more resonant.

"That's right, that's right, we don't want to be with you either, you're always making so much noise!"

The surrounding small shrubs chimed in.

"It's actually just us and Brother Rong on the island, it's quite comfortable."

"You were the last one to arrive, taking up our space, and you keep nagging all the time. It's so annoying."

The willow branches of the ancient willow swayed even more violently, and Ge Bai was quite certain that this was not due to the wind.

As she was thinking this, she also stepped onto the small island in the middle of the lake.

It was said to be an island, but once you actually get there, you realize that the island covers a vast area and you can't see the end of it.

Sunlight filters through the layers of green leaves of the giant banyan tree, casting dappled shadows.

Shrubs and vines grow freely under the trees, the grass is lush and green, and even the wildflowers by the bushes are blooming happily.

They didn't seem to care much about Gobai's arrival and continued to chatter on.

Among them, Gu Liu's voice was the loudest.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! I can't take it anymore! Even that damn bird is pecking at my leaves! I'm going to find the Peach Fairy!"

Peach Fairy? Is it a peach tree? Ge Bai surveyed the surroundings, but there wasn't a single peach tree on the island.

After calming herself down, she cautiously mobilized her spiritual senses and used the skills of a spiritual plant communicator for the first time.

"Hello, my name is Ge Bai."

In an instant, all sounds on the island vanished, leaving an eerie silence.

Upon seeing this, Ge Bai coughed twice and then spoke.

"Don't panic, I'm just an ordinary person who happens to have the ability to communicate with spiritual plants."

Unbeknownst to Ge Bai, the system flashed a black line and couldn't help but complain, "What are you talking about? Are you looking down on my system?"

As she spoke, she slowly moved her feet and came to the side of the ancient weeping willow.

Gently stroke the rough trunk of the ancient willow; the branches sway lightly, but there is no particular resistance.

"I overheard your conversation just now. I meant no harm. This is also the first time I've ever chatted with a spirit plant. Have you ever met someone like me before?"

"No, can you really hear us when we talk?"

Gu Liu was the first to be unable to contain himself and tentatively asked.

"Sure, are you looking for the Peach Fairy? I don't see any peach trees nearby."

Seeing that Gu Liu and Ge Bai had started chatting, the small shrubs nearby gradually became more active.

"That scared me to death! I thought some kind of monster had appeared!"

Ge Bai was speechless at what the little shrub said. What kind of world is this? Talking spiritual plants aren't monsters, but talking people are?

"Don't researchers usually treat us like ordinary plants?"

Ge Bai raised an eyebrow, just about to ask about the researcher, when Rong Shu spoke up.

"Young lady, what brings you here?"

She looked up at the banyan tree, but standing on the island, she couldn't see the whole tree at all.

"I'm here to contract with spirit plants. I couldn't find suitable seedlings in the spirit plant garden, so I came here to browse."

Gobai hit a straight shot.

"Oh, you're quite polite," Gu Liu interjected quickly. "Unlike those white coats before, who came up and started banging on the spiritual contract, which was extremely offensive."

"Did they even ask me before they wanted a contract? Dream on."

Gu Liu's temper flared up instantly, and he adopted a very high-pitched tone, indicating that he had been hit by the spiritual contract quite a few times.

So this is how spiritual plants view researchers?

Ge Bai instantly realized that the system was right; this was probably why the success rate of contracts with wild spiritual plants was so low.

As the ancient willow gradually became more active, Ge Bai could clearly feel that the flow of spiritual energy in the branches was accelerating, and the tips of the willow branches seemed to be emitting a faint light.

They really are spiritual plants, but they may be in a dormant state, which is why their spiritual energy content appears low. This is just Ge Bai's guess.

She also didn't forget to say a few words in defense of the researchers.

"Perhaps the researchers, unlike me, don't have the ability to communicate with spiritual plants, so they don't quite understand what you're thinking, which is why they seem rather offensive."

"Hmph." Gu Liu arrogantly flicked a tuft of willow branches.

"No, that's not it. They're just pulling up a couple of branches today and digging up a couple of roots tomorrow, studying it over and over again. It's really pointless."

It seems that Gu Liu dislikes researchers who wear white coats.

The banyan tree then spoke up: "Alright, Little Willow, the researchers also give you nutrient solutions regularly."

Gu Liu flicked her willow branches again, didn't reply, and turned to ask Ge Bai, "Little girl, I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Who are you planning to form a contract with?"

"I haven't decided yet. I spent most of my time resting on the way here. I only came to the island because I saw you guys having a good time chatting."

Gu Liu was very interested in Ge Bai.

"Then we're destined to meet. I don't chat with Brother Rong every day."

The shrubs scoffed at this.

"Don't listen to him, he's always the noisiest one."

Ge Bai suppressed a laugh, picked up a willow branch, and carefully asked Gu Liu, "Do you plan to form a contract? I think I could become a pretty good spirit plant master."

Our Ge Bai will really become a great plant master!
