214 Phoenix Reborn Flower (1/2)
Ryuu was sitting on a chair with his new left hand placed on top of a table, he was moving his fingers, opening and closing the palm of his hand under Veena's intense observation.
Ryuu spoke in amazement, ”It is amazing, it feels exactly like my own hand there is no difference at all, Ouch, what was that 1st mistress.”
Veena did not say anything as she continued checking his hand as she mumbled to herself, ”Hmmm, it seems the nerve are working properly.”, as she prodded and probed his left hand.
Veena gave a small smile as she spoke, ”Well it seems that everything went perfectly well, now Ryuu gather your KI and release it from your left hand.”
Ryuu followed her instruction as he focused his KI before he smiled at his teacher as he spoke, ”It feels fine.”
Veena nodded with a smile, as Ryuu spoke, ”I have to thank big sister Antariskh for the 'Phoenix Reborn Flower', but I have never seen that flower here in Ayindril's Herbarium before.”
Veena: ”Well it is an incredibly rare flower it takes over 1000 years to bloom, not only that it is very difficult to grow as it withers away very quickly if a person steps within 100 meters of it let alone touch it as such growing and harvesting is difficult not only that, the flower with healing properties as soon as it withers it releases its spores which is not only parasitic in nature but the host itself is unaware, until it is too late, as the host's life energy is completely drained off. Then using the life energy it gives birth to a new seed the host then completely moves from civilization and using the corpse as a fertilizer as a new plant grows.”, she then became busy with her work.
Ryuu suddenly turned green at the thought of such flower existing, as he spoke with disgust laced in her voice, ”The flower you used was it the same…”
Veena spoke without looking back towards him as she spoke, ”Of course it is.”
Ryuu spoke with equal amount of disgust, ”You used such a vile flower on me.”
Only for Ryuu to face plant on the ground hard as Veena stood with her hand outstretched and her face scowling hard as she spoke with anger palpable in her tone, ”Ryuu, this flower is just an ingredient nothing more nothing less. Did you think most of the ingredients you use just grow up like that, don't you eat meat, Ryuu?”
Ryuu, ”Yes I do.”
Veena:” Then why is it anything different. There are creatures you have eaten who feed on another.”
Ryuu: ”But but this plant is it not evil.”
Veena sighed as she spoke, ”Ryuu this plant does not consumes anyone's soul as such it is not classified as an Evil plant but rather chaotic. Moreover it mainly feeds on lower level beasts with rather low intelligence, not some human as such you do not have to worry too much about it. Do not confuse with some plants you have learned before those even feed on the souls compare to it, this flower is really tame. If it helps you then let me tell you something, the seed cannot grow inside any beast that has fully functional KI system in it, as such it grows using common animals as their hosts not even a spirit beast.”
Ryuu sighed at that, ”There is so much to learn.”
Veena smiled at that as she spoke, ”Child you are feeling frustrated already when you are still so young even us who have been alive for millions of years learn something new every day, so you can imagine how beautiful this Universe is.”
Ryuu nodded at that as Veena continued, ”Also about this flower you should be grateful as it reduced your recovery period from 6 months to only a couple of months, a few days rest and you could be ready for heavy exercise as usual. Now run along.”
