Ning sensed the bamboo's cultivation base and was surprised to find it was around Golden Core.
"Now that's something you don't see every day," he thought. Even in the other universe, he had been to, he had maybe seen 2 or 3 trees that could cultivate. Normally, plants just collected Qi to improve themselves, not their cultivation base.
"Since this plant has a cultivation base, that means it is intelligent enough to do it," Ning said. "Which means… there is a soul inside here."
"A soul?" Blue asked with a fascinated expression. He had never seen a plant be able to cultivate, so seeing one was already amazing.
Ning hesitated a bit. "I can't just uproot it or cut it in half, I will kill the soul inside," he thought.
"Master, that thing is getting angry at us, it seems," Blue said.
"Hm?" At the same time, Ning looked at the top of the bamboo plant to look at the beast that was eating all the bamboo leaves. He smiled a bit when he saw the intelligent eyes of the beast and realized it wasn't a normal beast either.
"Are you worried that I'm here with bad intentions?" Ning asked. "Don't worry, I'm not here to take away your food."
The beast growled a bit. It could tell that a very strong beast was below, not to mention the fact that it was wrapped around a human who seemed to be far more terrible.
If it was anything like the other human, the beast did not want to push its luck. "Please don't hurt it," the beast said.
Ning smiled and couldn't help but think the beast was a little cute.
"Right, Golden Core should be around which most beasts are intelligent enough to talk, right?" Ning thought. "Can plants talk?"
He knocked on the meter-wide bamboo stalk. "Hey, anyone inside?" he asked.
Ning waited for a bit, but nothing really happened. "Is the soul inside here not aware or what?" he thought. "System, can plants not municate?"
"So this one is just choosing not to?" Ning asked. That was certainly frustrating.
"Suppressed? By what?" Ning asked.
