…

When Lin Qianxuan awoke from his slumber, he had returned to his room. His outerwear had been taken off and folded neatly to the side, his shoes placed by the bed, and a sleep-inducing incense was burning.

Lin Qianxuan sniffed the scent on himself, his powerful sense of smell coming into play.

Well done, Gongsun Yue.

His strategy plan was successful.

To be honest, the in-game version of himself was lacking so much information that he couldn’t compare to his real-life prowess.

This time, he slept straight through to noon.

Gongsun Yue, as usual, personally brought him food.

When the two met, it was as if nothing had happened the previous night.

The only change was Lin Qianxuan’s address of Gongsun Yue, from Miss Yue to Yue’Er.

And Gongsun Yue accepted it with a smile.

In the afternoon, Lin Qianxuan didn’t continue to stay hidden away in his room to cultivate.

Instead, he went to find Guan Hao.

As the chief disciple of Divine Wood Valley, Guan Hao was most knowledgeable about planting.

Combat power was considered secondary.

When Lin Qianxuan found him, he was tending to some flowers in his garden.

A trace of golden Divine Energy flowed from his hand into the flowers, and soon the flowers’ spirits were revitalized, even slightly withered leaves stood tall and vigorous.

“What are you here for?” Guan Hao asked Lin Qianxuan.

His spirit was still depressed, only thinking of Nalan Yingying brought him some motivation to fight alongside the Rebel Army.

“Brother Guan, you should know I’m from the Outer Realm, right?” Lin Qianxuan said.

“I don’t know.”

Guan Hao shook his head. He didn’t care about such things and hadn’t inquired about Lin Qianxuan’s origins.

“I brought some seeds from the Outer Realm. I’m wondering if they can be planted here.” Lin Qianxuan said, taking out a bag of seeds.

There were about a hundred seeds inside, including fruits, vegetables, and staple grains.

All cultivated varieties from Xuan Country.

Lin Qianxuan wanted to see if they could be planted in this world.

Guan Hao glanced at them, his eyes showing a slight change.

If it were anything else, he might not be moved, but this caught his interest.

He took the bag of seeds from Lin Qianxuan, poured a few into his palm, and let Divine Energy circulate in his hand, carefully sensing their condition.

“These are indeed unfamiliar plant seeds, but the environment here seems unsuitable for their growth. Planting now would make it difficult to achieve the desired results. It’s best to first nurture them with my Divine Energy for a day or two…..”

Guan Hao’s “Divine Wood Skill” had many effects on farming.

Nurturing seeds, pest control, yield increase, and growth acceleration were essential.

The seeds Lin Qianxuan brought were only capable of growing in Earth’s environment. Planted here, with different soil nutrients, pests, gravitational differences, their survival would be challenging, sprouting might not even succeed.

For these seeds, this environment was extremely hostile.

But Guan Hao specialized in this; under this sky where turbid gases shrouded, he could cultivate beautiful flowers and ensure Zhang City had food. Bringing Lin Qianxuan’s seeds to life would be easy.

“Then I’ll trouble Brother Guan. I’ll visit again in two days.” Lin Qianxuan said.

Guan Hao didn’t reply, just silently nodded.

Such is the nature of professionals engaged in scientific research.

Reserved and dedicated to their work.

Often weak in social interactions, and without a good protective umbrella, their achievements are easily exploited.

Of course, in a world where outstanding talents possess Extraordinary Power, this is unlikely.

Guan Hao’s Giant Scythe wasn’t just for cutting flowers and grass; it was deadly sharp if brought down on someone’s head.

If anyone tried secretly to mess with him, they’d better not be discovered; otherwise, unless their support is strong or they have a hard head, they’d face death!

In the two days after returning, Lin Qianxuan didn’t idle.

He usually chatted and delivered food to the Gongsun sisters, exchanged advice on Divine Machine Art and Martial Arts to improve their relationship, while simultaneously engaging in Body Tempering and attempting to merge the Divine Martial system with his Water Control ability.

In an empty area outside the city, a crimson blaze condensed on Lin Qianxuan’s body flared, his soles erupted with intense light, and simultaneously water flow propelled his body as the air burst, instantly he sped a kilometer away, unleashing his Immortal Divine Fist to smash a turbid spirit into fragments.

After stopping, Lin Qianxuan looked back at the ravine he had carved with his movement, murmuring to himself, “It seems to be four times the speed of sound. The body didn’t feel much pressure, Divine Energy control was easy, the stop position error was less than a centimeter from expected, Gongsun Yue’s Sound Talisman was highly effective, greatly boosting combat power. It seems even without a Spiritual Energy Cannon, I can solo Purple Bamboo Prince within a hundred rounds.”

The strategy’s enhancement of power was swift, Lin Qianxuan had now integrated the Divine Energy system with his Water Manipulation Ability, his current power far exceeded previous levels.

If he were to face his past self, he felt he could easily defeat that version of himself.

After collecting his Divine Energy, Lin Qianxuan decided to check Guan Hao’s results.

Shrouded in mist, Lin Qianxuan took to the skies, soon reaching Guan Hao’s residence.

When Lin Qianxuan appeared, Guan Hao noticed him immediately.

Guan Hao was at the experimental field in the backyard, injecting Divine Energy into newly sprouted farm plants, upon seeing Lin Qianxuan, he didn’t say much.

Lin Qianxuan scanned with his Spirit, realizing these plants had grown from the seeds he had brought.

“Brother Guan, are these all alive?” Lin Qianxuan asked in astonishment.

“Yes, but it’s just temporary. Afterwards, we’ll need to constantly inject Divine Energy with ‘Divine Wood Skill’ over intervals, or else they may struggle to continue growing. Some nutrients they lack aren’t present here.” Guan Hao said.

Although somewhat anticipated, Lin Qianxuan was still a bit surprised.

Divine Energy indeed possessed a form of versatility, nutrient deficiencies could still allow for forced successful cultivation.

“How long until they fully mature?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“At least a month.” Guan Hao said.

In a month, the Rebel Army would have set out and left, no one to tend them, they’d likely all perish.

“Brother Guan, I have a special ability too, which can nourish plants and promote their growth. Maybe I can try to see if I can speed up their maturity.” Lin Qianxuan suggested.

Upon hearing this, Guan Hao said, “Nature has its order, Divine Energy can indeed replace portions of natural growth rules, but ultimately cannot completely substitute them, acting hastily only invites folly.”

This was the core philosophy of Divine Wood Valley.

Although they used Divine Energy to modify plant growth, overall they remained friendly towards nature, disliked excessive human intervention, and preferred to rely on natural timing and terrain.

In their view, even their Divine Energy was part of nature’s rules, a segment in the cycle of heaven and earth.

Lin Qianxuan, however, didn’t think much about it, he just remembered when he used a bit of transformed essence liquid inside himself to successfully cultivate a plum tree in a short time.

And Duobao Mountain, after that spiritual rain, diverse vegetation crazily grew with an apparent nutrient overload feeling.

Looking at the seedlings before him, Lin Qianxuan slightly brewed, then opened his mouth, spitting out a droplet of water.

This drop of Dragon Saliva was precisely guided by him to wrap tightly around the seedlings’ roots.

Soon, after roughly three seconds, the seedlings trembled as its roots actively absorbed the droplet of Dragon Saliva.

Visibly, it began accelerating its growth.

Within a few breaths, more leaves sprouted, growing taller than adjacent seedlings.

Guan Hao had been watching the scene, seeing this, he froze.

His expression when looking at Lin Qianxuan seemed odd, as if saying: You’re seriously this powerful yourself, why come to me? Just to mess with me for fun?
