Chapter 40: Can’t Absorb Spirit Stones, But Can Absorb Spiritual Energy Produced By Plants
“………”
Shi An’an and the others looked at Lin Jinmo and his brother speechlessly as they engaged in their love-hate dynamic.
“However, I discovered that Brother Lin has a spiritual root inside his body, and it’s a top-grade golden spiritual root!”
“Really?” Lin Xi didn’t quite understand what it meant, but he felt it should be something good.
“But you can’t cultivate, so such a great spiritual root is wasted!” Shi An’an gave Lin Xi immense sympathy.
Lin Xi: “……” So, what the heck is this thing? Completely useless!
“An’an, check me too to see if I have this spiritual root thing! If my brother has it, I definitely do too!” Lin Jinmo leaned over.
Shi An’an decisively refused, “You can’t. If you resist at all when I check you, it will affect your body and mental power.”
“Then why can my brother!” Lin Jinmo protested discontentedly.
“Because Brother Lin is older, mentally mature, and can control himself!”
Lin Xi: “！！！” Nice one—older! Mentally mature!! Can control himself!!!
Lin Jinmo heard this and indeed saw Eldest Brother’s face darken, so he covered his mouth and laughed.
An Yi, who had rushed over quickly, heard his niece’s words and immediately felt his tense heart relax. Hahahaha, at this moment he strongly agreed with his niece’s words.
Lin Xi was indeed older and mentally mature! Too old!!!
……
People from the Ninth Legion, which was very close to H11 Planet, soon arrived.
Shi An’an and the others were taken onto the Ninth Legion’s starship.
An Yi looked at the few little ones who had been brought over and solemnly saluted Shi An’an and the others.
“Thank you, young friends, for discovering traces of the Insectoid Race. On behalf of the Federation, I thank you.
Because of your discovery, we have successfully prevented the war between humans and the Insectoid Race that was about to break out again.”
Seeing the Supreme Commander of the Ninth Legion standing before them, except for Shi An’an, the others were so excited they couldn’t speak.
And on the way, Shi An’an had already learned that the man before her was her own uncle.
Shi An’an secretly glanced at her uncle’s appearance and nodded inwardly. Sure enough, nephews resemble uncles.
Her Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth… oh, she hadn’t met Fourth Brother yet, but the three brothers she had met all resembled this uncle to some extent, especially her Eldest Brother—not only did he look like him, but his temperament was similar too.
An Yi keenly noticed that his niece was secretly looking at him.
An Yi dispatched a small team to escort Sheng Rong and the others back to the military training base and garrison there to protect the students’ safety.
While Shi An’an was left behind.
Shi An’an sat in the corner, watching An Yi calmly and rationally issue one command after another decisively. In the blink of an eye, H11 Planet had been completely occupied by the Ninth Legion’s people and was being quickly searched.
After An Yi finished arranging everything, he finally had time to look at Shi An’an.
“An’an.” An Yi’s gaze revealed gentleness.
Shi An’an stood up and respectfully called out, “Uncle.”
An Yi heard his niece’s form of address and happily acknowledged it.
He immediately transferred some pocket money to his niece, “An’an, when you came back before, your mother didn’t tell Uncle, so Uncle didn’t know. Sorry, now that Uncle knows, I didn’t prepare a gift, so Uncle is directly transferring you money. Buy whatever you want yourself!”
“Ding~, An’an Master, your little vault has expanded again. Congratulations, you’re one step closer to buying a planet!”
Suddenly, a crisp and cute reminder voice came from Shi An’an’s optical computer, and Shi An’an instantly felt embarrassed enough to sink into the ground!
This was something she had set while bored checking her account balance earlier, but she didn’t know it would announce it in such a socially deadly way!!!
She thought it would just pop up a message!!!!
Aaaah, this is killing me!!!
At this moment, Shi An’an didn’t dare to look up at her uncle. She didn’t dare to imagine.
An Yi heard it and wanted to laugh, but seeing his niece’s embarrassed little face flushed red, he tried hard to hold it back.
“Cough.” An Yi cleared his throat, “The incoming balance reminder An’an set is quite cute, hahaha. Looks like An’an really wants to buy a planet.”
Shi An’an nodded randomly, extremely embarrassed.
“Then for your next birthday, Uncle will give you a planet!” An Yi said generously.
“Ah?” Shi An’an suddenly looked up and hurriedly waved her hands, “No need, no need. I already have a planet, Uncle doesn’t need to give me one!”
“Don’t worry, Uncle has plenty under his name. You can pick whichever one you like then!”
Shi An’an refused repeatedly, but in the end couldn’t overcome her uncle’s enthusiasm, so she stopped discussing the topic. She’d let her mother handle it when she got home.
“Head, we have finished searching all of H11 Planet. There are currently six places with this kind of stone, located at…”
After listening to his subordinate’s report, An Yi stood up, “An’an, Uncle needs to ask for your help.”
Shi An’an also quickly stood up, “This is what I should do.”
An Yi nodded in satisfaction, then thought of something else, “That… Uncle wants to buy a few green plants from you…”
“Ah, I forgot the gift for Uncle.” Upon hearing this, Shi An’an immediately reacted.
She quickly selected several very healthy and robust green plants from her space button.
Liu Feng, standing nearby, saw the green plants suddenly appear on the table, and the refreshing fragrance filled his nostrils, instantly lifting his mood and clearing his mind.
An Yi felt the same and looked at Shi An’an again, his eyes full of solemnity.
It seemed his niece’s green plants were indeed different from others’.
“An’an, do you know that your green plants are very special?”
Shi An’an hesitated and nodded, “Probably. Uncle, don’t worry, my green plants are purely natural, with no toxins, and full of vitality. Don’t worry about killing them. If you have spirit stones, they’ll grow even better!”
“Spirit stones? Like this kind of stone?” An Yi caught the key point.
“Yes, I call this kind of stone spirit stones because they contain spiritual energy, and this spiritual energy is beneficial not only to people but also to plants and animals.”
An Yi held the stone, closed his eyes, and fully sensed the spirit stone in his hand.
A moment later, An Yi shook his head regretfully, “I can’t sense the spiritual energy inside.”
Shi An’an looked at the spirit stone, then at her uncle, “It might be related to body structure. According to ancient human meridian paths, people can unconsciously absorb a tiny amount of spiritual energy without deliberate cultivation, strengthening their bodies.
Now people’s bodies have been modified and are different from before.
So they can’t directly absorb the spiritual energy in spirit stones.”
Shi An’an looked at the green plants again, “But you can absorb the spiritual energy produced by plants.”
“Oh?” An Yi’s eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly sensed the green plants.
Sure enough, from these few green plants, he sensed a trace of mild energy that felt very comfortable.
And with his breathing, this energy involuntarily entered his body. He clearly felt that this energy was slowly and gently repairing his body, even his mental power.
