Spiritual Plant Master Sweeps the Beast Taming Star

Chapter 4: Spiritual Plant Master? That’s called a fruit farmer!
The three of them came to the Spiritual Plant Garden. Although it was the annual contract peak period, the garden did not feel crowded or noisy because it covered a large area and had many service staff.

"Are you three here to pick spiritual plants for yourselves?"

As soon as I entered the park, a shopping guide in a navy blue uniform came to greet me.

Although the three of them were not accompanied by their parents like other teenagers, the shopping guides still demonstrated great professionalism.

Liu Hao stepped forward, nodded, pointed at Wu Dami and said.

"Let him choose first. We will use a loan to buy it. The price of the spiritual plant needs to be less than 17."

"Oh, Haozi, it doesn't have to be so complicated. I've already chosen it. Let's just contract the black card fruit tree."

Rice said carelessly.

Ge Bai rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Dami.

You don't need to ask to know that this guy chose this kind of spiritual plant because the black card fruit is selling at a high price recently.

Black card fruit is actually a kind of apple. It was cultivated 12 years ago. After the characteristics of the spiritual plant became stable 3 years ago, the stable seedling purchase channel was opened to the public.

Recently, studies have shown that black card fruit is particularly effective in restoring the spiritual power of plateau snow wolves.

Not only that, a video of the plateau snow wolf of Lurekos, the grand slam winner of the Star Wars Arena, eating a black fruit went viral on the Internet.

The white-haired wolf warrior was chewing on the black-skinned fruit, and the cute contrast made a bunch of little girls scream.

As a result, the purchase and retail prices of black card fruit soared.

This must be the reason why Wu Dami is like this.

Liu Hao just gave Da Mi a slap on the face, glared at him, and continued talking to the salesgirl.

"Don't pay attention to her. Please recommend some spiritual plants to us."

The salesgirl smiled and tried to smooth things over in a gentle manner.

"In fact, black card fruit is also a very good choice."

"Our park recently received a batch of black card fruit seedlings in very good condition, the price is about 7 federal coins."

What is sold in spirit beast gardens and spirit plant gardens are basically young spirit beasts and spirit plants.

Not only because larvae are easy to cultivate, but also because the success rate of contracts with larvae is much higher than that with adults.

"After you purchase the contracted sapling, the remaining loan amount will be enough to pay for the basic nutrient solution for spiritual plants for one year."

"The advancement path of the black card fruit is now clear, and it can stably reach the second-level spiritual plant. It is worth contracting and cultivating."

Wu Dami covered his head and pursed his lips. Hearing the salesgirl support him, he wanted to argue, but seeing that Liu Hao and Ge Bai ignored him, he just shrank his neck.

Like spiritual animals, spiritual plants will grow rapidly after forming a contract with humans and advance through training.

When a spirit beast advances, not only will its appearance change drastically, its physical fitness will be comprehensively improved, and its innate skills will also increase accordingly.

Take the plateau snow wolf as an example.

The first-level state is the appearance of a taller white wolf, and common talent skills are Snow Wolf Sprint, Ice Blade, and Ice Claw.

After evolving to the second stage, the plateau snow wolf's four claws and pupils will turn ice blue, its back will be covered with ice armor, and its name will become Ice Armor Snow Wolf. It is likely to awaken the talent skill Blizzard Rush.

At the third stage, they are called the Ice Realm Silver Wolves, but whether they can successfully awaken their ice realm talent depends on the training level of the Beastmaster.

I heard that there are generals in the Interstellar Legion whose Plateau Snow Wolves have evolved to the fourth level, but more detailed information is not yet widely known to the public.

A first-level beastmaster who completes the test can obtain the title of primary beastmaster, second-level intermediate, and third-level advanced.

Senior Beast Tamers are already respected figures in society.

Lurekos, the grand slam winner of the Star Wars League, is just a high-level beastmaster.

Spiritual plants are a little different.

The advancement standards vary greatly depending on the plant species, and the recognition is also more relaxed.

For fruit tree spiritual plants like the black card fruit, the stable first-level state means that after being catalyzed by spiritual power, a certain number of black card fruits containing basic spiritual power can be grown.

In the second stage, the black card fruit tree shows a preference for ice-attribute items and nutrient solutions. After directional cultivation, the branches become ice crystals, and the surface of the black card fruits that grow is covered with frost for a long time and contains rich ice properties, so it can be favored by ice beasts such as the plateau snow wolf.

Yes, now everyone’s general expectation for spiritual fruit trees is to grow better fruits.

Ge Bai was very disdainful of such a point of view. How could this be called a spiritual plant master? Isn't this just a modern fruit farmer?

Most of the spiritual plants that can evolve to the third stage are auxiliary spiritual plants, just like every interstellar legion land force must be equipped with a spiritual plant master who owns the devil vine.

The first-level devil vine has a binding skill that can trap small first-level spirit beasts.

The second-level devil vine awakens the skills of strangulation and stun. The vines grow thorns, which trap a second-level medium-sized spirit beast. The vines pierce the skin of the spirit beast and release trace amounts of toxins.

The third-level devil vine has a stealthy characteristic. It can lurk underground and quickly break through the ground to strangle large second-level spirit beasts in a larger range.

Therefore, the Devil's Ivy seedlings are almost the most expensive spiritual plants. "Let's go to the Black Card Fruit Seedling Garden area. On the way, we will pass by the Golden Peach Seedlings and Kyoho Grapevines, two fruit spiritual plant areas, and four ornamental spiritual plant areas. You can take a look at them all."

As she spoke, the salesgirl led a few people into a tour bus.

Along the way, Ge Bai was in low spirits.

Wu Dami is as stubborn as ever.

Although he was almost unable to walk looking at the shiny, golden peach seedlings, he still shook his head firmly and refused, and he only wanted his black card fruit tree.

When passing by the nursery of golden peach seedlings, Ge Bai quietly activated the [Spiritual Plant Communicator] state.

The noisy chattering gave her a fright.

"Move your roots further away, they're growing towards me!"

"Don't blame me! He took my water. I was thirsty."

"Don't shake your head, you're blocking my light."

"Humph, I have to block it. You're the one blocking my light this afternoon."

"Look, look, there's another one coming. Choose me, choose me. I want to live in a single room and drink nutrient solution!"

Ge Bai keenly discovered that after they got off the sightseeing bus and approached the nursery, the group of golden peach seedlings seemed particularly excited.

The buds and leaves at the top of the branches are more tender.

No wonder the contract rate for larvae is so high. Could it be that the little ones are lively and active and easy to trick into going home?

Can a little plant be so lively? Appearance is not the only thing!

Looking at the golden peach seedlings that were so densely planted that they could not be planted in the garden, Ge Bai silently turned off the [Spiritual Plant Communicator] mode for the sake of his own brain nerves.

"Well, I want to ask, do you only have young spirit plants here?"

When Liu Hao held Wu Dami to take a closer look at the golden peach seedlings, Ge Bai pulled the salesgirl aside and asked.

“Yes, what we sell are young spiritual plants, but our spiritual plant garden and the Blue Star Ecological Botanical Garden are connected, you can go and have a look later.

"It is the largest botanical garden in the country, simulating the ecology of rainforests, plains and even deserts, and has many kinds of spiritual plants and plants transplanted from all over the world."

"During the transplantation, the park also went through a selection process and conducted regular tests. There are absolutely no foreign plants that are aggressive to humans. Please rest assured about the safety."

Strange beasts and plants still exist and are extremely aggressive towards humans.

But it is under good control at present. Plant mutations around the city usually produce strong fluctuations of spiritual power, which will be discovered and strangled in the budding stage. The tide of strange beasts has not appeared in more than ten years.

Ge Bai nodded, and then asked: "If I sign a contract with a spiritual plant in the botanical garden, do I need to pay you a fee?"

The salesgirl was obviously stunned, then she smiled professionally. It was obvious that Ge Bai was not the first person to ask such a question.

She simply thought that Ge Bai did not learn the basic knowledge about spiritual plants well in school, or he wanted to save some money.

“We don’t recommend you try this lightly.”

"Although the failure of the contract does not affect the contract qualifications and does not put one's life in danger, it will still have a great impact on one's spiritual consciousness and may require a long period of recuperation."

The salesgirl persuaded patiently.

"I heard that some people have tried and succeeded. Do you want money?"

Ge Bai asked persistently.

"Most of the plants in the botanical garden are wild spiritual plants. If the contract is successful, there is indeed no need to pay any fees. In the past three years, there have been two successful cases of spiritual plants being contracted in the botanical garden."

Ge Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because of the existence of the system, she was confident that she could steal a spiritual plant from the botanical garden and take it home.

Now that I hear there is a precedent, I feel more at ease so I don't have to appear to be a maverick.

If it weren't inconvenient to leave the city and go to the mountains and wilderness now, Ge Bai would really like to go for a trip to the mountains.

In fact, she didn't know that many people went to the botanical garden every year to try to contract spiritual plants.

Researchers at the Spiritual Plant Research Institute also often try to contract wild spiritual plants, but the failure rate is very high.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ge Bai looked at the salesgirl with a smile.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the Botanical Gardens?"

The salesgirl was silent for a while. She probably wouldn't make any money from this order from the little girl today. She might even have to help call an ambulance later.

But she was still considerate enough to get Ge Bai a botanical garden map, helped her unlock a mobility scooter, and informed her in detail of the closing hours and precautions.

Ge Bai listened carefully, said hello to Liu Hao and Wu Dami, and said that he was going to go to other areas. Then he drove his scooter alone to the Blue Star Ecological Botanical Garden.
