It’s not that Lin Qianxuan was playing around with Guan Hao for fun.

He wanted to see the effect of planting with “Divine Wood Skill.”

Lin Qianxuan himself hadn’t practiced this divine martial art.

The reason remained the same; this martial art requires simultaneous cultivation with the visualization method to be effective.

The visualization method is critical to one’s core martial arts.

It influences the attributes of Divine Energy.

Generally, there is no martial artist who can cultivate two or more visualization methods at the same time.

Multiple visualizations might cause issues with the Primordial Spirit, conflicts with Divine Energy attributes, and directly lead to becoming a lunatic.

Of course, there are exceptional circumstances.

Emperor Shenwu is one of them.

According to records, he cultivated more than a dozen visualization methods.

A remarkable life needs no explanation.

What Lin Qianxuan didn’t expect was the vast difference between his dragon saliva and the effects of Guan Hao’s Divine Energy.

But considering that anyone could learn “Divine Wood Skill,” whereas only two people had the Dragon Bloodline, there wasn’t much to say.

“How did you do it?” Guan Hao asked Lin Qianxuan.

“Talent,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

“I figured as much,” Guan Hao nodded, then with a bit of curiosity on his face, said, “Do you understand your talent? Do you know its operational principles? Do you understand the process by which it spurs plant growth? What’s the maximum saliva a plant can absorb over time? Do different plants vary? Can growth limits be broken? Have you considered cultivation without soil?”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Lin Qianxuan halted Guan Hao, saying, “I haven’t researched these things yet; I have a lot on my plate right now and can’t research them.”

“Then give me some of your saliva, and I’ll research it for you,” Guan Hao suggested.

“How much do you need?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

At that moment, Lin Qianxuan suddenly realized he had missed such an important matter while playing games.

Logically, with a three-month cycle, ten cycles mean thirty months, such a long game time.

Organizing a group of people to assist with research, applying the findings directly to the next gameplay, might lead to some significant discoveries.

Just like how he repeatedly gained martial arts knowledge through plays.

But coming back to it now isn’t too late.

“How much can you spit?” Guan Hao seized on the key point, looking at Lin Qianxuan with a slightly odd expression.

“As much as you need, I can spit out… Eh, according to the water tank you have there, one or two tanks shouldn’t be a problem,” Lin Qianxuan replied, catching the thread before quickly interrupting himself.

Being a streamer for too long has made his ability to catch cues too strong, sometimes not a good thing.

“Then spit,”

Guan Hao promptly emptied the water in his plant-watering tank and then just watched Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan brewed for a moment, and in the next instant, the surrounding water vapor gathered, quickly inhaled into his body. Then he opened his mouth, transforming it all into dragon saliva that could nurture all living things.

Just two or three spits, and a tank was filled.

Then he spit another two or three times, and another tank of dragon saliva appeared.

The dragon saliva was absolutely clear, emitting a faint reddish gleam, with a hint of fragrance that made one want to take a sip.

Guan Hao’s eyes examined Lin Qianxuan with full curiosity.

That’s the thing with researchers; their curiosity is insanely strong.

“That should do it.” Lin Qianxuan said, “Let me know if you have any results.”

“Alright, you can go now.”

Guan Hao’s gaze fell on the tanks filled with dragon saliva, pondering something unknown.

“Oh right, you can try and see if you can grow this.”

Lin Qianxuan suddenly seemed to think of something, took out a plum pit, and handed it to Guan Hao.

This was the pit from the plum tree he had planted on Earth; he hadn’t finished eating it before, and a few seeds had been brought to this world by him.

He had previously let the Gongsun sisters each have two seeds, earning some goodwill, but had kept the pits.

Perfect to use now for research, to see if a spirit plant could be grown in an environment devoid of spiritual energy.

Guan Hao took the pit, instinctively examining it with Divine Energy.

Then he couldn’t help but let out a “Huh.”

“Is there a problem?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“No problem, it’s just that it possesses more spiritual essence energy than ordinary seeds. If it grows, it might not be inferior to some normal animals,” Guan Hao said, “I’ve never seen a plant with such Spiritual Wisdom.”

Lin Qianxuan was also a bit surprised upon hearing this.

Doesn’t this mean spirit plants possess a certain thinking ability?

His plum tree usually behaved like a normal plant, without any perceived spiritual fluctuations?

Lin Qianxuan decided to research it thoroughly upon returning.

…..

Time passed.

In Lin Qianxuan’s Purple Mansion, the Divine Energy was full and completely filled.

The connection with Gongsun Ying seemed to be reaching beyond fifty now.

Each morning at dawn, Lin Qianxuan could obtain over forty years of painstakingly refined Divine Energy.

It’s more than he could ever use, really.

Whether it was for Body Tempering or squandered on practicing divine martial arts, Lin Qianxuan used all his might to consume it, yet at most could only use up half.

Of course, this is under the premise that he doesn’t use the Eyes of Death.

If he fully activates the Eyes of Death, it would only take a few minutes to deplete forty years’ worth of Divine Energy.

And this is because Gongsun Yue’s current connection with him has reached about forty percent, whereas previously, when the connection was lower, it might not have lasted this long.

By the way, he also cultivated the Asura Sword Technique a bit.

Now in the acupoint of his right arm are two energy Spirit Swords stored.

Condensing a Spirit Sword took Lin Qianxuan six hours.

Wanting to achieve an outpour of swords like in the game is simply impossible.

Even ten swords would probably be a struggle.

The destructive power of a single Spirit Sword is quite limited.

It’s far less damaging than the Water Control Lin Qianxuan currently has.

However, Lin Qianxuan tried to combine the extraordinary powers from the two systems, just like in the game.

Once the Spirit Sword was wrapped in a layer of Water Blade, the effect was different again.

Under the thrust of the water flow, the speed of the Spirit Sword can easily exceed several times the speed of sound.

After the Water Blade dissipates on impact, the Spirit Sword can continue its attack with undiminished momentum.

It’s like a rocket staging separation.

But unlike that, both the Water Blade and the Spirit Sword are lethal.

Moreover, with the water flow’s enhancement, the Spirit Sword’s damage is even greater than before.

But for now, the Asura Sword Technique should not be used in battles of his current level.

Probably, he has to completely win over Gongsun Ying and receive the Sound of Destiny’s blessing to raise the strength and number of Spirit Swords to another level before considering it.

That day, Lin Qianxuan visited Guan Hao’s residence again.

Upon arriving in the backyard, Lin Qianxuan was stunned by the sight of the grown plants of various types.

His gaze fixed on a tomato plant; its branches over two meters tall were densely packed with at least a hundred fruits, yet it did not topple over, and the main trunk still robustly supported all its branches.

In this place where gravity is obviously greater than on Earth, it managed normal growth without a support frame and even had a higher yield.

Guan Hao was also there, holding a Memory Ball and recording footage.

“It’s only been a few days? Not even three days, right? And they’re fully matured?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“Your saliva is quite special; it can somewhat break the absorption and growth limits of plants, and it seems to also affect insects and animals, but I’m not familiar with that aspect, so I haven’t researched it deeply,” Guan Hao said.

Lin Qianxuan glanced around and eventually found the plum tree in the corner. It was much larger than the one he had planted, over a person’s height, and buds were already blooming on it.

“No Spiritual Energy, yet it can live? And it grows so quickly? Does Divine Energy work better than Spirit Crystals?” Lin Qianxuan exclaimed in surprise.

“Is Spiritual Energy the essential nutrient for its growth? The Divine Energy it absorbs is several times more than other plants, and it feels different from the other seeds you brought. What kind of fruit tree is this?” Guan Hao looked up at Lin Qianxuan and asked.

“It’s equivalent to the Divine Plants cultivated by your Divine Wood Valley,” Lin Qianxuan explained.

Divine Wood Valley relies on unique methods to cultivate numerous special plants over generations.

They have a variety of effects, remarkably diverse, especially in material science, medicine, and agriculture, where they are absolutely world-class.

In its peak period, even Emperor Feng had to treat Divine Wood Valley with respect.

This is evident from Guan Hao being invited to the Imperial Palace to tend the flowers there, freely visiting the palace.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of the turbid air, those plants were corrupted, and thousands of years of Divine Wood Valley’s accumulation were destroyed instantly.

“Now I understand,” Guan Hao nodded.

Two more days passed, and Guan Hao had already begun cultivating the next generation of agricultural seeds Lin Qianxuan brought.

And that Spirit Plant plum tree was also bearing plums.

At least five to six hundred of them, much larger than those Lin Qianxuan grew.

It’s unknown whether it was due to Guan Hao’s expertise or the influence of Divine Energy and the environment.

Lin Qianxuan picked one and placed it in his mouth.

Crunchy and tasty, shortly after swallowing it, a warm current spread through his body.

The effect of boosting qi and blood still existed.

It’s confirmed that Divine Energy can somewhat replace Spiritual Energy.

It’s still possible to grow Spirit Plants.

Lin Qianxuan was quite satisfied, but Guan Hao shook his head frantically.

“It’s a failure,” Guan Hao said.

“The effect is the same as the fruit I ate before, even stronger. How is it a failure?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“Spiritual Wisdom,” Guan Hao said, “It lacks that key nutrient, and its Spiritual Wisdom can’t grow. I originally wanted to try communicating with it after its Spiritual Wisdom matured. It’s a pity.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianxuan had an epiphany.

Spiritual Energy seems to have its unique properties.

Can it grant plants Spiritual Wisdom?

If a plant could think, would it be considered an animal or a plant?

If its Spiritual Wisdom were strong enough, could it communicate with people like a human?

When it comes time to eat its fruits, would it refuse?

This somewhat challenges human ethics…..

Lin Qianxuan pursed his lips and plucked two more fruits to eat.

These questions were a bit mind-bending.

But luckily, these are things for scientists to worry about; he only needed to consider if the fruit was tasty.
