Holding the "Sky Blue" Jade Scroll, Chen Jiuge went to the Cultivation Room with a mix of trust and doubt.
Aside from the Small Divine Powers, all Great Divine Powers could not be replicated or recorded by ordinary Jade Scrolls. The so-called Seventy-two Small Divine Powers were the strongest among all Small Divine Powers, comparable to so Great Divine Powers—of course, the more ordinary types.
After absorbing the ssage from the Jade Scroll, Chen Jiuge gasped, "Is it real, or the kind that’s been imbued? When did Qi Daoyuan beco so generous?"
If Qi Daoyuan were here, he would definitely retort loudly, "This is one of the Seventy-two Small Divine Powers! What does generosity have to do with it? If I hadn’t seen so many Golden Immortal experts recently, there’s no way I would have given you this Divine Power!"
Having already failed once, Qi Daoyuan only wanted to manage his relationships well this ti, cultivate diligently, and strive to achieve the Golden Immortal realm.
Arriving at the small courtyard, Chen Jiuge planned to test the effects of "Sky Blue."
This Divine Power, "Sky Blue," mainly had three functions. First, it could stimulate the Life Force of a Spirit Plant, allowing it to grow rapidly. However, this would shorten the Spirit Plant’s Life Span, akin to unnaturally forcing its growth. Second, it allowed communication with the consciousness of Spirit Plants. Although this communication would be sowhat vague, its value to a Spiritual Plant Master could be even higher than a Great Divine Power. Lastly, of course, was its power. Using the Condensing Technique, any Spirit Plant that had been touched could be conjured with Mana. So Spirit Plants lacked Spiritual Wisdom but possessed strong offensive capabilities.
Thus, this was also considered a composite Divine Power, combining cultivation, utility, and combat into one. Chen Jiuge was quite satisfied with it. It was a pity that he was not a Spiritual Plant Master, nor did he plan to beco one.
Facing the jujube tree at the entrance of the small courtyard—which had been forcefully imbued with Spiritual Energy to the Fourth Rank—a vast amount of his Spiritual Power surged out. Jujube fruits continuously solidified on the tree. During this process, Chen Jiuge even heard it exhale a comfortable sound: "Ah, I finally got rid of that Spiritual Energy. That feels so good."
This lascivious voice made Chen Jiuge stop the output of Spiritual Power, a dark expression forming on his face. This jujube tree was far too indecent.
What Chen Jiuge did not know was that as he used "Sky Blue," the Wangu Teng seed that had been in the corner of the courtyard flickered faintly with Spirit Light.
The plant communication ability of "Sky Blue" was quite interesting. At least Chen Jiuge was having great fun listening to the inner voices of Spirit Plants. He discovered that not only Cultivators and Spiritual Beasts had their worries, but Spirit Plants did as well.
CRACK.
The light sound made Chen Jiuge quickly turn his head.
Looking towards the Wangu Teng that had been buried in the corner, Chen Jiuge exclaid in surprise and doubt, "It can’t be! Did I inadvertently use the Divine Power on Wangu Teng? I rember it’s supposed to take so more ti to erge."
A purple-red vine as thick as an adult’s arm swiftly grew, winding robustly around the small courtyard dozens of tis. Its very tip stopped in front of Chen Jiuge and transford into a little girl in green clothes: "Daddy, I’m out!"
"Weren’t you supposed to take so more ti to erge?" Chen Jiuge asked, puzzled.
"Because I slled sothing nice, so I ca out!" Wangu Teng danced happily like a child.
"This?" Chen Jiuge asked, conjuring "Sky Blue" in his hand.
"Yes, that’s it! OM NOM!" Wangu Teng swallowed the blue light sphere in one bite, an ecstatic expression on her face.
"Hey, what did you just do?" Chen Jiuge was a bit nervous. If this were to stimulate Wangu Teng and reduce its potential, he would suffer a huge loss.
"Don’t worry, there’s no harm." At this critical mont, Guman quietly appeared behind Chen Jiuge.
Looking at the little girl, who looked nothing like his own true form, Guman sighed, "I didn’t expect her to have mutated."
"Daddy, who is this old man?" Wangu Teng whispered to Chen Jiuge, leaning close to his ear.
Chen Jiuge was very embarrassed. Wangu Teng was an offspring of Guman, yet not only did she call Chen Jiuge ’Daddy,’ but she also called Guman ’old man.’ How incredibly filial of her, right?
"There’s no need to be embarrassed. We Spirit Plants are different from Spiritual Beasts. Although she’s my offspring, she isn’t necessarily my child. She simply carries the blood of our clan. Moreover, she’s mutated," Guman said, unconcerned. Perhaps it’s like this for all Spirit Plants.
"All you need to do is train her well. This mutation seems to be towards increased offensive power." After Guman finished speaking, he left.
Chen Jiuge looked at the little girl standing on his shoulder and thought disparagingly, "Earlier, you clearly said she was your own child, and now you say she isn’t? Could it be because Wangu Teng mutated, you no longer feel she’s your child?"
Believing he had guessed the truth, Chen Jiuge didn’t probe the issue any further. Instead, he picked up the little girl from his shoulder and said happily, "From now on, you’ll be called Chen Ziteng. How does that sound, Ziteng?"
Little Ziteng tilted her head cutely and said, "Yay! I have a na now, Chen Ziteng!"
The ergence of Wangu Teng put Chen Jiuge in an excellent mood. That evening, he gathered the remaining Spiritual Beasts in Eden Garden, intending for them to get acquainted.
"Ziteng, this is your Sister Yue ng," Chen Jiuge introduced, pointing at Yue ng, who wore an unhappy expression.
"Sister Yue ng," Chen Ziteng said innocently, her eyes wide.
Yue ng felt this new little sister was very sensible, so she pulled out a handful of Elixirs as a welcoming gift.
Da Bai, who was last in line, lost his composure upon seeing the Elixirs Yue ng handed out. Gifts too?
As the poorest mber in all of Eden Garden, Da Bai’s als were mostly provided by the other Spiritual Beasts there. Occasionally, he freeloaded off Black Eye for a special treat. The idea of a welcoming gift truly stumped him. Moreover, his underling Qi Daoyuan wasn’t present to bail him out.
While Da Bai was frantically pacing, Chen Ziteng had already t Black Eye.
As the Clan Leader and also the steward of Eden Garden, Black Eye had many Spirit Stones and even a variety of trinkets. The welcoming gift he gave was not shabby either: a large pile of Spirit Food and many small toys that the young ones in his clan enjoyed playing with.
The third was Silver King. Since his punishnt, Silver King had beco much more obedient. However, he still occasionally transported Elixirs for Yue ng, earning so Spirit Stones to buy good liquor and food to reward himself. Although he wasn’t wealthy, it was still easy for him to produce a welcoming gift.
"Thank you, Brother Silver King."
"The last one is your Brother Da Bai. Co on, Da Bai, this is your sister Ziteng. You must take good care of her, understand?" Chen Jiuge said with a smile to Da Bai, who was practically sweating bullets.
"Hello, Brother Da Bai."
"Ah, um, hello, Sister Ziteng," Da Bai stamred, swallowing nervously.
Seeing Ziteng still staring at him, Da Bai’s eyes hardened with resolve. I absolutely can’t let anyone know I can’t afford a gift! Then, under Chen Jiuge’s pained gaze, he fiercely plucked a scale from his own body.
Seeing Da Bai’s face contort in pain, Chen Jiuge and the Three Beasts simultaneously gasped. He’s that desperate?
"Sister Ziteng, this is a gift from your brother." Da Bai tremblingly handed the blood-stained scale to Ziteng.
"Thank you, Brother Da Bai."
"Ziteng, you also have another sister, who isn’t here right now. I’ll take you to et her later."
Chen Jiuge was talking about Ao Yi. Since the last incident, the relationship between Fire God and Ao Yi had improved by leaps and bounds, and they often went out together. However, having learned their lesson from last ti, even when they went out, they wouldn’t leave the Sect’s vicinity. They mainly strolled within the Sect, having beco firm believers in heeding advice.
