Chapter 56: Contract Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid
If pies are falling from the sky, just happily catch them.
No matter the reason, Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid is willing to contract, which is a good thing.
Holding the mindset of securing the bag, Ge Bai hurriedly agreed and immediately began outlining the contract runes without another word.
Familiar the first time, easy the second, this third contract was in the spiritual power-rich Secret Realm Space, so the contract runes were outlined very smoothly, with golden runes quickly solidifying in the air.
“Little Orchid, are you sure you want to leave here with me?”
The contract runes floated in mid-air, and Ge Bai couldn’t help confirming with Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid once more.
“Yes, yes, I am willing, I am willing.”
Thousand Generations Orchid was a bit impatient, like a child who could go out to play.
Before Ge Bai could push the contract runes toward her, she actively mobilized her own spiritual power to connect with the contract runes.
Seeing Thousand Generations Orchid so proactive, Ge Bai said nothing more, and with both sides’ spiritual power connecting, the contract was achieved.
Opening the Spirit Plant Cultivation Atlas, Ge Bai could now see more and more detailed data on Thousand Generations Orchid.
[Type: Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid (Hegemon Race)]
[Age: Spirit Plant Biological Age 2, Spiritual Sense Birth Age 2]
[Spiritual Power Value: Mortal Spirit Realm Level Eight (162.39/800)]
[Beginner Attribute: Space Element]
[Skill: Spatial Teleportation-Beginner (9/100) Skill Level: Advanced, Skill Description: Arbitrarily change the position of objects (creatures) within a certain range.]
[Skill: Thousand Generations Sword-Beginner (32/100) Skill Level: Advanced, Skill Description: Shoot leaves that explode upon hitting the opponent, twisting and tearing a small surrounding space, causing damage.]
This panel is truly hard to describe.
It’s just the standard case of having spiritual power but no skills.
Ge Bai had reason to suspect that Thousand Generations Orchid usually just ate and slept in the Secret Realm Space, with no awareness of training.
But even so, relying on high spiritual power value and two Advanced Level Space Attribute skills, it pressed Big Willow in battle—great potential ahead!
“Liu Gu.” Big Willow at the pit’s edge saw Ge Bai and Thousand Generations Orchid complete the contract, jumped into the pit, casually greeted Little Orchid, thought for a moment, and offered the half-drunk nutrient solution in its hand as a gesture of goodwill.
“Hmph.” Thousand Generations Orchid saw Big Willow and huffed in dissatisfaction, “This time I was careless. Let’s battle again in a couple days—I won’t lose next time!”
Though verbally unconvinced, Thousand Generations Orchid honestly accepted the nutrient solution from Big Willow.
“Yeah, yeah, good luck then.” Big Willow didn’t take it seriously and brushed it off casually.
Watching this scene, Ge Bai chuckled. Thousand Generations Orchid might not outcompete Big Willow, but she didn’t want to dampen Thousand Generations Orchid’s enthusiasm.
“Everyone, keep up the good work!” Ge Bai played the peacemaker, touching Little Orchid’s flower bud, tapping Big Willow’s Willow Threads, and calling out to Little Peach to jump into her arms.
Looking at the three little ones, Ge Bai felt immensely satisfied.
Holding Little Peach, Ge Bai leaped out of the pit, walked to the small box containing Time Soil, picked up the box, and prepared to take out the Plum Garden Spiritual Power Badge.
Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid, who appeared beside her via Spatial Teleportation, tilted its head seeing Ge Bai’s hands full.
“I have storage space. Want me to hold it for you?”
The surprises Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid brought to Ge Bai were one after another.
“How big is the storage space? Can it hold living things?” Ge Bai quickly asked.
“I’ve never put living things in it, I don’t know.” Thousand Generations Orchid was also puzzled, gesturing while speaking, “About this big.”
Test it back home. Ge Bai handed the box to Thousand Generations Orchid, and a flower bud in its floral core quickly bloomed, making the box disappear into thin air.
Ge Bai watched in fascination, gathered the three little ones, tossed out the Spiritual Power Badge, and set up a temporary spiritual power channel.
“Sigh.”
Behind Ge Bai, where she couldn’t hear, Cave Heaven Tree let out a long sigh.
——
Plum Garden.
Professor Luo Wan was still anxiously pacing in place when suddenly a space-time gate opened where Ge Bai had just disappeared.
He quickly stopped, watching worriedly until Ge Bai’s figure appeared, then breathed a sigh of relief.
“Where were you teleported to? Are you injured? Did you encounter any danger? How did you get back?”
Professor Luo Wan hurried to Ge Bai’s side, pulled her forcefully to put more distance from the space-time gate, cautiously eyed it while firing off questions like a machine gun.
This barrage of questions left Ge Bai unsure where to start.
At this moment, the space-time gate slowly closed and disappeared, and Professor Luo Wan finally relaxed his taut nerves a bit.
Ge Bai had now organized her words.
“I was teleported to an unfamiliar Secret Realm Space with a Secret Realm Trial task.”
“After I won the battle, the Secret Realm Space’s Sovereign Spirit Plant gave me a reward: Time Soil.”
“Then, I contracted with a Space Attribute Spirit Plant that battled us.”
“That Secret Realm Space’s Spirit Plant told me using the Plum Garden Spiritual Power Badge would teleport me back.”
“That’s it.”
Ge Bai briefly recounted the process, leaving Professor Luo Wan silent for a moment.
What had he just heard! Time Soil! The high-level resource Time Soil he knew?!
And a Space Attribute Spirit Plant? In the entire Interstellar Alliance, forget Space Attribute Spirit Plants—there aren’t even many Space Attribute Spirit Beasts contracted with humans!
He thought Ge Bai had gone to a perilous place and barely survived, but it looked like she entered a grotto-heaven and came back loaded?
These were still manageable, but most importantly, another Secret Realm Space dominated by a Sovereign Spirit Plant appeared? And it seemed friendly to humans?
Just as Professor Luo Wan pondered where to start asking, the voice of Plum Garden’s Sovereign Spirit Plant, Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum, reached his ears.
“Please help us convey to our friends at Y Bureau that Sovereign Spirit Plant Cave Heaven Tree is willing to engage in deeper exchanges with the Interstellar Alliance.”
Professor Luo Wan instantly grew excited. He knew better than anyone how much Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum and Plum Garden had aided the Interstellar Alliance’s Spirit Planters and Spirit Plant Research over the years.
Now, another Sovereign Spirit Plant was extending goodwill to the Alliance—this was sure to be a message that would shake the Interstellar Alliance.
“Understood, respected Sovereign Dragon Roaming, rest assured. We’ll return to the Alliance immediately and relay this to Y Bureau’s top brass. I believe the Interstellar Alliance will respond with maximum goodwill.”
“Got it.”
“Let’s go, Ge Bai. Back to the Alliance first—talk on the way.”
Excited Professor Luo Wan grabbed Ge Bai and headed to Plum Garden’s fixed teleportation area.
Though logically one could use Spiritual Power Badges anywhere in Plum Garden, to minimize the impact of setting up temporary spiritual power channels on the Secret Realm Space and other resting or trialing Spirit Planters, Spirit Planters had gotten used to entering and exiting via the designated entrance area.
While heading out, Professor Luo Wan suddenly remembered, stopped, and asked Ge Bai, “Do you know the name of the Sovereign Spirit Plant in that Secret Realm Space you went to?”
Ge Bai searched her memory and answered smoothly, “It should be called Cave Heaven Tree.”
Professor Luo Wan fell silent once again.
That’s it for today, extra update tomorrow.
