Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 246 Plant Consciousness
"From this perspective, it is very difficult for plants to develop consciousness. Once they do develop consciousness, they can cultivate based on instinct, and it only takes time for them to become demons."

Jiang Yuan has pretty much figured it out.

The next step is to conduct experiments to make the plants aware of themselves.

Isn't this exactly what the plant consciousness network can do?

His innate talent allows him to easily induce a clustering mentality in plants.

This awareness should be a crucial step for plants to cross the boundaries of demons!
Just start doing it when you think of it.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his hand from the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree and, as before, constructed a plant consciousness network.

Tiny consciousnesses are like fireflies, dancing and swirling in the invisible network of consciousness.

The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree wanted to join in, but Jiang Yuan kicked it out.

Following the memories of the Heavenly Crown Purple Tilia Tree, Jiang Yuan began to modify the plant consciousness network, enabling them to complete their "instincts" as soon as possible.

At this moment, the wind grew stronger and stronger.

The entire Qinling Mountains have become a no-man's land.

...............

Qinling Military Headquarters.

“Miss Jiang, we really can’t let soldiers enter the Qinling Mountains just because of one person. As you can see, a strong wind is blowing now, and that person could very well be…”

"Impossible!" Jiang Shaoxu interrupted the soldier, saying, "He's very strong, a super-level mage. If you don't want to save him, then contact the Forbidden City Army for me, and I'll talk to them!"

"This"

The soldier wanted to say that even a high-level mage could perish under the influence of the wind, but in the end he sighed and said, "Alright, I'll connect you to the Forbidden City Army. You can handle the rest yourself."

"It's long overdue."

Jiang Shaoxu took the communicator.

The call was quickly connected with the Forbidden City Army.

"The Forbidden City Army? I am Jiang Shaoxu."

"Miss Jiang?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then asked with some surprise, "Didn't you send out a distress signal a while ago? We've already prepared to take action as instructed by our superiors and are about to set off for the Qinling Mountains. What's going on?"

"It was me who sent it. I've escaped from the Qinling Mountains and am now at the Qinling military headquarters."

"Okay, then I'll intercept the rescue team immediately."

"No, there is still someone in the Qinling Mountains. I need you to come with me to rescue him."

"Excuse me, Ms. Jiang, could you provide this person's identification information?"

He is Jiang

Jiang Shaoxu remained silent.

Jiang Yuan's identity is that of a heretic, and it's definitely not acceptable to expose it directly; otherwise, it wouldn't be a rescue, but an arrest.

"Miss Jiang?"

The person on the other end of the communicator was urging him on. Jiang Shaoxu's mind raced as he tried to fabricate a false identity for Jiang Yuan.

Just then, a person walked in from outside.

"Young General!"

Upon hearing this title, Jiang Shaoxu turned to look at the young soldier, whose rank was Major General.

In the Qinling military headquarters, this was definitely the most handsome and dashing man.

Is the supreme commander of the Qinling Military Command a young man in his twenties?
It seems he is a key talent cultivated by the military.

Meeting Jiang Shaoxu's questioning gaze, Zhang Xiaohou said, "Hello, I am Zhang Xiaohou, in charge of command and defense of the Qinling Military Headquarters. May I ask what brings you to my headquarters?"

"Young General, she wants us to go into the Qinling Mountains now to rescue someone," the soldier said.

"Forget it, I don't expect you guys to be able to go in and rescue them. I'll find someone else."

Jiang Shaoxu hung up the communicator, took out her own, and prepared to make a call to a higher-ups. "Miss Jiang, I know you. Jiang Shaojun is your brother. You're also a member of the National Guard team, and Yuan-ge is your captain," Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Brother Yuan?" Jiang Shaoxu seized upon Zhang Xiaohou's form of address.

You wouldn't use this title in a casual relationship.

"You know Jiang Yuan?"

“Yes, Yuan-ge and I were high school classmates. In high school, Yuan-ge, Fan-ge, and I were often together.” Zhang Xiaohou nodded.

"That's perfect!" Jiang Shaoxu's eyes lit up.

A premonition rose in Zhang Xiaohou's heart: "What's wrong? Don't tell me that the person we're trying to save is Brother Yuan."

“Yes, Jiang Yuan is currently in the Qinling Mountains, specifically in Baiba Mountain. He rescued me from the Ice Winged Bird. He dropped me off at the foot of the mountain and then went up the mountain alone,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

Upon hearing her words, Zhang Xiaohou immediately gave the order to the soldier: "Organize a squad and follow me up the mountain!"

Although he knew Jiang Yuan was very strong, he also believed that Jiang Yuan would have a hard time withstanding the powerful Qinling winds.

"Young General, the person you're talking about should be the captain of the National Guard team, right? He's not Yi."

"Tell me, what is a soldier's duty?!" Zhang Xiaohou shouted sternly.

The soldier immediately stood up straight and shouted, "A soldier's duty is to unconditionally carry out orders from his superiors!"

After saying that, he didn't say another word.

They jogged out of the room, obeyed Zhang Xiaohou's orders, and began to assemble their squad.

The military mages can assemble very quickly.

Within minutes, a highly experienced team was assembled, consisting of a wide variety of mages, with a primary focus on defensive mages.

In the Saha environment, defensive mages must constantly cast defensive spells.

Therefore, rotating defensive mages is an essential step.

Leading their team, Zhang Xiaohou and Jiang Shaoxu plunged headlong into the Qinling Mountains amidst the swirling winds.

Beneath the sacred purple linden tree, Jiang Yuan sits cross-legged.

His mind was completely immersed in the plant consciousness network, and to prevent interference, he shut out all audible sounds.

In his observations, plants of the same species are more likely to develop a sense of community, while there seems to be some kind of barrier between different plants.

But this is enough.

He set his first target for collective consciousness on the weeds that were everywhere on the ground.

Although extremely weak, they become quite large when combined, and with the slightest guidance, they begin to actively absorb energy.

From Jiang Yuan's perspective.

The energy contained in the air and the earth gathers towards these weeds, and each strand strengthens the consciousness of the weeds.

Every moment, tens of millions of weeds grow stronger, and the total amount of growth they produce is enormous!

A few seconds later, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that he himself was also beginning to change.

His body has been strengthened, and his plant-type ability has reached the third level of the initial stage without any cultivation!
"Is this feedback?"

Jiang Yuan was energized.

The feedback speed was much faster than when he cultivated alone.

The increased strength of the body will take a long time to manifest, after all, the emperor-level physique is there.

But the improvement in the plant system is visible to the naked eye!
In a few more hours, his plant system will reach the intermediate level three.

If he expands the plant consciousness network, he might be able to master plant-based forbidden spells in a very short time!

It doesn't even need treasures to break through to the super-level or forbidden spells.

Feedback from the plants is enough!
