214 Breakthrough 2 (1/2)
The black fog spread around Jun Wu Xie as it gradually thinned and disappeared. With the thin black fog's dissipation, a red glow started to emanate from Jun Wu Xie's body. The red glow came from inside her and under her fair skin, her veins, arteries and blood vessels were visible, as they pulsated with a red glow.
”The spirit power within you has reached it's optimum within its boundaries. But the methods adopted to cultivate a plant spirit are unlike other contractual spirits. To achieve a breakthrough, it requires something else, besides spirit energy.” Jun Wu Yao said through narrowed eyes.
”What does it need?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
”Contractual spirit.”
”...…..”
”Plant spirits' spirit energies are like the growth of all living things, constant and endless. But it lacks the brute force required for a breakthrough of the level barrier. If you want a breakthrough, you will need to absorb other contractual spirits, and use its power to help you achieve it.” Jun Wu Yao explained.
Jun Wu Xie was stunned. ”Me? Absorb spirits?”
His suggestion was just preposterous.
”Do you know why there was never a single plant contractual spirit here?”
”Why?” Jun Wu Xie was curious. Since she was reborn, she had not heard of another plant contractual spirit.
At least throughout her inherited memories, this world had only two types of contractual spirits. One was the weapon type contractual spirit, and the other type was the beast type contractual spirit. Little Lotus was the first and only plant spirit that she knew of.
Jun Wu Yao laughed, and explained further: ”Before contractual spirits and people establish a link, they choose a suitable contractual spirit based on their physique and their bodily constitution. Under the skies, people who can absorb the spirit energy of contractual spirits are few and far between and plant spirits almost never descend to the world. If an occasional one appears, his master would not know how to achieve a breakthrough to the next level and it becomes a useless spirit. There were also people who did not even realise the awakening of their spirits and lived through a mediocre life dragging their plant spirit along carelessly.”
