After school in the afternoon, Jing Shaoyu let Xu Xiaoyan go to dinner by herself, asked Ye Yingluo for leave, and then rode his bike away from East Sea Academy in a hurry.
A few minutes later, he arrived at East Sea Park, parked his bicycle, and quickly walked into East Sea Park. Following the park's path, he arrived at the depths of the park. This place was sparsely populated, with dense and lush vegetation. It was the most vigorous area for plant growth in East Sea Park. The flourishing plants seemed to sense Jing Shaoyu's arrival, swaying their branches and leaves to express their joy and cheers.
Every plant here grew very thick and tall, even the low shrubs were much taller than ordinary individuals. Compared with the plants in other parts of the park, the plants here seemed to have grown for hundreds of years earlier. However, these plants were planted at the same time as most of the plants in East Sea Park, no more than ten years before or after.
The reason why the plants in this area grew so prosperously was entirely due to Jing Shaoyu.
The reason was actually very simple: Jing Shaoyu came here every month to bless the plants in this area, increasing their efficiency in absorbing the heaven and earth essence, and accelerating the speed of their life level improvement.
In short, Jing Shaoyu added a buff effect to these plants that accelerated their cultivation.
As for how such a buff effect that could accelerate cultivation came about, that's a long story.
He remembered that it was three years ago, once, when he and Na'er were playing and frolicking in East Sea Park, Na'er accidentally ran into the depths of the park, and Jing Shaoyu, chasing Na'er, came to this area.
Na'er was tripped by a tree root at the time, and her fair knees were scraped and bleeding, which made Jing Shaoyu feel very distressed.
So, he used his first Soul Skill to heal Na'er, and it was such a coincidence that he discovered a new ability of the Crown of Nature.
The Origin Spirit Martial Soul's first Soul Skill was called Light of Healing, and its main effect was healing, which was for Soul Masters or animals.
But when Jing Shaoyu released Light of Healing at a plant, it would trigger a special effect. The plant bathed in the Light of Healing would have its origin strengthened, its growth rate would be accelerated, and its efficiency in absorbing the heaven and earth essence would be improved. In short, plants under this effect would more easily awaken into plant-type Soul Beasts, and their cultivation speed would be accelerated.
This special effect was called Nature's Blessing.
Plants that received Nature's Blessing would grow faster, cultivate faster, and evolve their life level faster and more efficiently than other plants. The specific data had also been obtained in Jing Shaoyu's continuous three-year research.
Initially, when Jing Shaoyu was a one-ring Soul Master, limited by the single-target Soul Skill Light of Healing, he could only apply Nature's Blessing to one plant per month. So he chose the ancient tree that tripped Na'er, a Machilus nanmu that had grown for five hundred years but was still an ordinary plant.
This Machilus nanmu was the oldest plant in this area. After a year of continuous Nature's Blessing, it completed the leap in its life level, evolving from an ordinary plant into a plant-type Soul Beast, giving birth to intelligence and deriving soul power in one go.
This made Jing Shaoyu very excited. He had actually cultivated a plant-type Soul Beast! The newborn Machilus nanmu Soul Beast was a hundred-year Soul Beast with five hundred years of cultivation. When it became a Soul Beast, it once again received Jing Shaoyu's blessing, and it condensed a ball of energy with one-tenth of its cultivation to contribute to its creator, Jing Shaoyu.
The Machilus nanmu Soul Beast's feedback increased Jing Shaoyu's Soul Ring's age by fifty years, which greatly stabilized Jing Shaoyu's idea and determination to cultivate plant-type Soul Beasts.
In the next two years, as Jing Shaoyu became a Great Soul Master and possessed the group healing-type second Soul Skill Healing Ripple, the number of plants he blessed each time increased.
Now, with the Machilus nanmu Soul Beast as the center, there were a total of nine plant-type Soul Beasts within a radius of five hundred meters. The one with the highest cultivation was the old Machilus nanmu, a seven-hundred-year Soul Beast, and the weakest was a Sea Bell Orchid, a three-hundred-year Soul Beast.
These plant-type Soul Beasts had increased Jing Shaoyu's Soul Ring's age by nearly five hundred years, and they were also meritorious in Jing Shaoyu's Soul Ring being able to be upgraded to purple.
He also figured out the exact effect of Nature's Blessing. Under the Nature's Blessing state, ordinary plants would gain ten times the growth effect, and plant-type Soul Beasts would gain five times the cultivation effect. To be specific, ordinary plants would grow one day equivalent to ten days, and plant-type Soul Beasts would cultivate one day equivalent to five days.
It should also be mentioned here that the growth state of plants under Nature's Blessing is different from that of plants under Plant Control.
Nature's Blessing affects the life thickness of plants, that is, the life level, while Plant Control affects the life length of plants, that is, the simple growth cycle. Therefore, although both belong to the ability system of the Crown of Nature, there is an essential difference between them.
Now, three years later, the residents near East Sea Park don't know that nine plant-type Soul Beasts have been born in East Sea Park, and one of them is a Machilus nanmu Soul Beast with a cultivation of nearly eight hundred years! If this were exposed, the entire East Sea City would probably be shaken! Fortunately, under Jing Shaoyu's request, these plant-type Soul Beasts were all well-behaved and kept themselves to themselves, usually acting as ordinary plants, and only showing the Soul Beast side in front of Jing Shaoyu.
The characteristics of plant-type Soul Beasts made them difficult to be discovered. In addition, the area where they were located was in the depths of East Sea Park, where few people came, so no one had ever discovered them. It was estimated that unless there was a major change in the future, this group of plant-type Soul Beasts could live here forever.
"Okay, okay, be good!" Jing Shaoyu was surrounded by the plants' branches, leaves, and flowers, with a smile on his face as he treated children, and said, "I know you are anxious, but don't worry!"
Jing Shaoyu comforted the excited plants, and then released his Martial Soul. As the Origin Spirit possessed him, the plants became more active, their branches and leaves swaying like dancing children. The thickest Machilus nanmu dropped a branch, lifted Jing Shaoyu's body, and placed him on its thickest branch. On that branch, there was a throne composed of branches, leaves, and flowers, which these plant-type Soul Beasts had specially woven for Jing Shaoyu with their respective body parts.
He sat comfortably on the plant throne, and then the second Soul Ring flashed with light. Waves of green light full of life breath sprinkled from his hands onto every plant in this area. Thus, whether it was a plant-type Soul Beast or an ordinary plant, they all danced in this shimmering green light. Green leaves and flowers competed with each other, what a scene of life prosperity.
About an hour later, Jing Shaoyu ended his Soul Skill, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and adjust his breath. The plants saw this and quieted down, for fear of disturbing their master's rest. Yes, in the eyes of this group of plant-type Soul Beasts, Jing Shaoyu was their master, and they were willing to dedicate everything to him.
Specks of green light gathered from the bodies of the plant Soul Beasts, one clump, two clumps, a total of nine clumps of green light, corresponding exactly to the number of plant Soul Beasts. Under their control, the green light clumps flew into Jing Shaoyu's body one after another. This was the plant Soul Beasts' feedback.
Jing Shaoyu, who was in meditation, felt this life energy and was not surprised, because every time, he could get feedback from the plant Soul Beasts. This time, his Soul Ring's age increased by about twenty years, and his Soul Power also increased by a few strands.
After another half an hour, Jing Shaoyu ended his meditation and walked happily from the branches extended by the Machilus nanmu to the ground. He was ready to leave, smiling and waving goodbye to the group of plant Soul Beasts.
"Goodbye, I'll come to see you again next month!" Jing Shaoyu said gently.
The plant Soul Beasts swayed their respective branches and leaves. How much they wanted to keep him, but they knew that their master shouldered a great mission, so they could not keep him, but could only watch him leave, and hope for his next arrival.
Every time after spending time with the plant Soul Beasts, Jing Shaoyu always felt happy and comfortable, just like spending time with Jing Ziyuan, Lin Xin, and Na'er, like family.
He walked with a smile on his face on the path in East Sea Park. About six or seven hundred meters away from the area where the plant Soul Beasts were, he met a girl of similar age. The girl had ordinary looks, but her temperament was excellent. Her whole body exuded a peculiar charm, like a secluded orchid in an empty valley, or like an apricot blossom in the courtyard, making people fascinated.
The path was very narrow, only enough for one person to pass through. Jing Shaoyu and the girl got closer and closer, and neither of them seemed to have the idea of giving way. Jing Shaoyu was attracted by the girl's temperament, and the girl seemed to be fascinated by Jing Shaoyu's appearance. In this way, neither of them stopped, and they crashed straight into each other.
"Ah!" How could the girl's physique compare with Jing Shaoyu's? Caught off guard, she was directly knocked backwards by Jing Shaoyu, her body uncontrollably falling backward, and she let out a frightened cry.
