Chapter 295 - Return 3!
Transplanting vicious plants was a technical skill. Even though they lacked consciousness and acted purely on hunting instincts, they still created many obstacles for the one transplanting them, just like pitcher plants and Venus flytraps.
Fortunately, Captain Doofus had comprehended the deer-dog form of the Divine Deer’s aura. This aura could suppress even the instinctive behaviors of vicious plants with no consciousness. This greatly improved Lu Ran’s efficiency in moving them.
In just two days, City Lord Ye’s backyard of vicious plants that were cultivated over decades was stripped bare. In its place, within the vast ruin space of the Tree Monarch, an entire area was now planted with vicious plants.
On the desolate land, Lu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that he had really put in effort. He looked toward the main city. Over the past two days, various factions had begun arriving in Tree World City to send their tributes to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Lu Ran’s activities had been simple. They consisted of transplanting plants and then collecting gifts. This kind of blissful experience made him feel as if he had returned to his time as the Undead Holy Son. Among all the gifts, the most valuable one came from the Qing Clan of Tree Monarch City.
Although Legendary Qing Lianshan seemed gloomy, under the instructions of his ancestor, he still came bearing a grand tribute. He gifted a seed of a spirit plant that could reach the level of a Low Overlord upon awakening. It was a treasured plant capable of altering the environment and enhancing spirit energy concentration.
Clearly, it was meant to help Lu Ran improve his ruin space. The thoughtfulness was evident. Although Lu Ran lacked the ability to awaken it, simply planting it in the ruin space would still bring great benefits to the legion of familiars residing inside. This was the most valuable gift.
However, the most suitable gift came from the Ji Clan of Ten Thousand Leaves City. Even before Lu Ran had the chance to seek their help in awakening the swordgrass, they delivered a bottle of silver blood, claiming it could help in the plant’s awakening. This unexpected gain caught Lu Ran completely off guard.
At the start, he never imagined he would obtain a swordgrass-awakening resource in such a way.
“Now this is how you’re supposed to clear an ascension realm. But I can’t be satisfied so easily. Isn’t there a more efficient and flawless way to optimize the strategy?”
He calculated the time and felt that this ascension realm was nearing its end. Despite his many gains, there were still regrets. For example, he hadn’t had time to venture into the outer sea to search for the Death Dragon’s kin. Nor did he have time to seek out the Tree Monarch’s familiar to receive the true inheritance.
