Chapter 82: Breakthrough to the [Proliferation Realm] Shocks the Entire Courtyard
【Golden Cage Fruit (Second Generation Hybrid)】
【Trait 1: Wood Growth (Mutation)】
[Effect: After consumption, there is a very high probability of awakening a Wood-type constitution. When used as a "result" condition for cultivation methods, it will actively awaken a Wood-type constitution.]
【Characteristic 2: Metal Convergence (Mutation)】
[Effect: When facing attacks or harm, it can absorb a portion of spiritual energy and refine it for its own use. When used as a "result" condition of a cultivation method, it can grant the body's muscles the ability to contract and absorb attacks.]
[Grafting] and pollination were successful. The fruit of the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] lineage and the [Wood Fruit] spiraled together, looking like a golden "cage" covering the emerald green [Wood Fruit], complementing each other.
Without hesitation, Jiang Qiu used the water elemental energy to pluck the fruit, which possessed both metal and wood attributes. He then swallowed it whole. Instantly, a monstrous wave surged through his internal organs, and the wood-elemental plant within his heart bore fruit—
[After consuming the "Wood-Born Golden Cage Fruit," the cultivation method is now in operation, awakening the physique. Given the mutated characteristics of the second-generation hybrid, this "physique" gains a rare bonus that incorporates the features of the "Wood-Edge Flower."]
[About to transform, choosing a more preferred optimization direction:]
【1. Mainstream Martial Arts (Predicted to be Rare)】
【2. Spiritual Plant Nurturing (Pre-order Rare)】
【3. Formation Arrangement (Pre-ordered Rare)】
Just like when he swallowed the [Awakening Pill], he didn't need to consider options one or three. Jiang Qiu resolutely chose option two. As a result, a surge of spiritual power welled up from his limbs and bones, flowing endlessly, and he soon became drenched in sweat.
With a creak, the mother plant of the [Wood Edge Flower], which had just finished harvesting a round of fruit, gradually sprouted new branches and buds. Several seedlings of [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] also grew taller and taller, with the sword-shaped leaves at the bottom expanding layer by layer, showing a strong momentum of growth.
It's like a spring breeze blowing out the window.
Among the densely packed potted plants in the flower stand area, spirit seeds sown just a few days ago have sprouted and the spirit plants that have grown into seedlings are growing taller and taller, with spiritual energy sizzling and evaporating, as if all things are reviving and spring has come and flowers are awakening.
Zhang San rubbed his eyes. "Holy crap, what happened? Brother Wang's potted plant suddenly started growing? Its metabolism is so fast!"
"Not only do the potted plants accelerate metabolism, but I also feel like I'm sweating faster. It's already autumn, so why isn't it hot?" Li Si rolled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her brow, instantly turning her blue work clothes dark gray.
Soon, the flower stand area was abuzz with discussion. All the employees were amazed and worked with those around them to find the source of this strange phenomenon. They saw that the metabolic rate of all the potted plants had soared and spiritual energy was spontaneously overflowing.
Li Si dared not delay any longer and immediately called Du Ziyue, "Brother Du, the potted plants in the flower stand area have suddenly sprouted on their own..."
"I saw it," came the slightly panting voice on the other end of the phone. "My [Powder-Gathering Fairy] also mysteriously disappeared. I was chasing them on the balcony. I guess it was some rare and precious treasure that caused this strange phenomenon."
Upon hearing this, Li Si was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, Zhang San's exclamation rang out beside her, "Holy crap, Li Si, look! So many [Powder-Gathering Fairies] are flying out of the residential area and circling around Brother Jiang's rooftop!"
He turned around at the sound, his pupils contracted, and he saw the colorful [Powder-Gathering Fairy] transforming into auspicious clouds and flying on the second floor of a building. All the employees looked up at the same time, and the trainees also came out of their balconies to watch. Their faces were all shocked, and for a moment there was a great commotion.
"What... what kind of strange phenomenon is this?" Li Si swallowed hard. "The scene looks a bit like Brother Jiang demonstrating [Daily Accumulation of Wealth]?"
"It shouldn't be. [Daily Accumulation of Gold] is for gathering spiritual energy, but it didn't work this time... Damn it, my spiritual energy is about to leak out again!" Zhang San was startled. The cyan spiritual energy overflowed from his fingertips along his pulse, and with a whoosh, he grasped at empty air.
Li Si also shuddered, watching helplessly as the spiritual energy within her body slipped through her fingers and spiraled towards the building where Jiang Qiu lived.
A colorful vortex of spiritual energy reappeared in the sky.
"What on earth is going on?!"
......
With a creak, Jiang Qiao pushed open her own door, her body covered in sweat, her curly short hair clinging to her cheeks as if she had just emerged from a bath. Knock knock, she knocked on Jiang Qiu's door, "Jiang Qiu, have you broken through to the [Procreation Realm]? How come you have such strong [Growth] and [Contraction] phenomena?"
There was no response from upstairs, but footsteps came from the other side, a heavy voice asking, "Was that Jiang Qiu making that noise?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at Wang Baisheng, raising her eyebrows. "Anyway, it wasn't me. I, the [Powder-Gathering Fairy], am in heat. I just came out of the cultivation room to find Jiang Qiu. What are you doing here all of a sudden?"
"My wood-type constitution has inexplicably become active, as if in response to the awakening of some rare wood-type constitution. I'm looking for the source." Wang Baisheng's expression was solemn, and his gaze shifted to the second floor, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"A rare wood-type physique [Springtime Wood Awakening]?" Jiang Qiao's eyelids twitched. Her father possessed this type of physique, but unfortunately, she hadn't inherited it. She shook her head. "How is that possible? Jiang Qiu already has [Daily Accumulation of Gold], how could she awaken [Springtime Wood Awakening]? It would be fatal!"
"If it weren't for the awakening of [Springtime Wood Sprout], why would such a huge phenomenon gather in Jiang Qiulou?" Wang Baisheng's eyes were firm.
Jiang Qiao crossed her arms and raised her chin. "Today is the day of his second-generation hybridization. He told me that he is preparing to step into the [Reproduction Realm] today. This is of course an anomaly brought about by his 'Result' breakthrough."
"Second-generation hybrids have reached the [Reproduction Realm]?" Wang Baisheng was taken aback. The familiar words combined together seemed unheard of. He shook his head and said, "That's putting the cart before the horse. First-generation hybrids are level 2 spirit plant embryos, while second-generation hybrids are high-level spirit plant embryos. Jiang Qiu couldn't possibly have achieved that ahead of time."
"Hmph, believe it or not, anyway, Jiang Qiu's first-generation hybrid is the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage], a pure metal spirit plant. If the second generation doesn't produce a spirit plant with both metal and wood attributes, how will he break through to the [Propagation Realm]?" Jiang Qiao turned her head away.
"Even if Jiang Qiu was blessed by heaven and could cultivate a second-generation hybrid spiritual fruit ahead of time, and use this 'result', it wouldn't have caused such a commotion. He most likely awakened the [Spring Wood Sprout] again after birth..."
"Tsk, what makes you think Jiang Qiu couldn't make such a commotion after breaking through to the [Proliferation Realm]? Do you think he learned some basic roadside technique?" She interrupted Wang Baisheng, scoffing, "His technique was passed down from my father, the one my mother cultivated back then—a precious cultivation method combining metal and wood elements!"
"..." Wang Baisheng was speechless. He had never seen a precious cultivation method, and even his master Wu Shan rarely mentioned it. It was too far removed from his life, and it was not yet time for him to understand it. However, the changes in himself could not be faked.
He raised his well-defined forearms, his muscles throbbing, his [Wood Spirit Grape] body activating, blossoming like a flower in spring. "No matter what you say, I've found the possibility of a physical transformation, and it lies in Jiang Qiu..."
