Chapter 305: Chapter 298 Bodhi Tree_1

Watching this important pet survive the most difficult life-or-death situation, Qin Niu also let out a long sigh of relief.

Ancient Banyan Tree Blood is a good thing, as long as the dosage is sufficient, at the very least it can advance one grade.

Once the Red-eyed Golden Toad advances to Grade Eight, it will become Qin Niu’s strongest pet.

And it can also provide him with valuable experience in cultivating other pets.

After settling the Golden Toad, he did not stay in the backyard to cultivate but took out the thick “The Plant Atlas” and Master Mo Yang’s “Rare Herbs and Plants Atlas” to read.

He hoped to find records about the Ancient Banyan Tree in them.

That thick “The Plant Atlas” contained records of ordinary plants and medicinal herbs.

It was essentially a standard version of a plant encyclopedia.

There were detailed explanations for every plant’s image, characteristics, medicinal effects, toxicity, and information on when they would bloom and bear fruit.

It was quite nice to study it when he had nothing else to do.

Qin Niu flipped through it for a while, then put it aside.

Picking up Master Mo Yang’s “Rare Herbs and Plants Atlas,” he began to turn the pages one by one.

The book recorded various rare and unusual herbs and trees.

Each one could be considered a strange and exotic plant.

It even explained the principles behind plants turning into spirits.

The plants in the world, after many years, accumulate enough essence of the sun and moon within themselves, which helps them complete their evolution and mutation. This allows them to undergo certain changes and acquire advantages not found in their own kind.

Mutation is only the first step.

But this step is also the most difficult.

Out of a million plants, there might only be one or two that have the chance to mutate.

Some might develop more extensive root systems capable of penetrating deeper soil layers to absorb more nutrients. Others might undergo changes in their plant structure, allowing them to absorb more essence of the sun and moon.

There are also special medicinal herbs and trees that can absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

Mutation is just the first step for a plant to turn into a spirit.

The Dogtail Grass in Qin Niu’s backyard is a typical example. Nourished by the Everlasting Spring Technique, it rapidly underwent evolution and mutation.

The veins in its leaves turned purple.

And the plant itself became much sturdier.

This also proves that the Everlasting Spring Technique is an extremely precious cultivation technique. It has the ability to transform plants and help increase their chances of becoming spirits.

The second step, after the plant mutates, is to continue absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and its mutated abilities will continue to evolve.

When the plant evolves to a certain point, it can absorb the spiritual qi between heaven and earth, which is akin to taking half a step into becoming a spirit. As it absorbs more spiritual qi, the plant becomes stronger, not only capable of withstanding the destruction of wind, snow, and rain but also resisting damage from wild animals, insects, and other creatures.

Over the long years, they will gradually awaken their spirit intellect and eventually become true spirits.

Moreover, once the plants become spirits, the land or water body they grow upon will become their ‘home’.

They can use the geographical advantage to defend against enemies.

In their home, their strength also increases exponentially.

Powerful Tree Demons can even control a domain, making an entire mountain serve them.

He couldn’t help thinking about the Ancient Banyan Tree, which clearly had a trace of spirit intellect by now and was very strong, probably on the verge of becoming a spirit.

It had even acquired some of the abilities of a spirit creature.

The third step, after becoming a spirit, the plant will continue to cultivate. But since they lack sophisticated cultivation techniques, they only know superficial cultivation methods, so their progress is very slow.

And their means of attack are also very limited.
