Chapter 70: When Can We Cultivate It? [2-in-1]
“Mystic Phoenix!”
Eyeing the Yellow-collared Golden King Xuanfeng falling from mid-air.
Hao Hao’s eyes widened hugely, eyeing the Yellow-collared Golden King Xuanfeng falling from mid-air, and he rushed swiftly toward the direction where Mystic Phoenix was falling.
“Healer! Healer!”
Running while shouting loudly.
The Referee also entered the Venue at this time. Strictly speaking, the Referee had also been negligent just now.
He truly hadn’t expected the Weeping Ancient Willow to suddenly appear in mid-air and deliver such a powerful Attack Power strike.
Normally, the Referee’s duty is to constantly watch the Venue and intervene in any potentially intense situations.
Big Willow’s strike had already warranted the Referee’s intervention.
Although the final result was still Mystic Phoenix’s defeat, if the Referee had intervened, Mystic Phoenix would at least not have been injured so severely.
The Healers waiting in the Waiting Area heard the contestant’s shouts. Before entering the field, they didn’t forget to glance at the Referee. The Referee hurriedly gave them a hand signal, and only then did the Healers rush into the field confidently.
At the same time, the Referee directly announced: “Winning side, Spirit Planter: Ge Bai; Pet Beast: Weeping Ancient Willow,…”
“Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid.”
Ge Bai, watching the Referee, timely raised the Thousand Generations she was holding in her arms a bit and chimed in.
“Winning side, Spirit Planter: Ge Bai; Pet Beast: Weeping Ancient Willow, Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid.”
Ge Bai thought to herself that she still needed to take Thousand Generations to register later, since Thousand Generations had also made a move in this Match.
“Wait a moment.”
Hao Hao in the middle of the Venue saw the Healer and had already begun casting the Healing Spell, feeling slightly relieved. He shouted loudly, calling out to Ge Bai who was about to turn and leave the Arena.
“Why could your Pet Beast appear and stay suspended in mid-air?”
Ge Bai stopped her steps, turned back to glance at him, and patiently explained.
“I have another Pet Beast with Space Skills.”
There was nothing to hide about this originally, but Hao Hao persisted relentlessly.
“Impossible! Using Space Skills to assist another Pet Beast in hovering mid-air is not something the Mortal Spirit Realm can achieve!”
At this moment, Hao Hao was somewhat hysterical and making unreasonable demands.
If it were just a normal question and answer, Ge Bai would still be interested in answering him a couple of sentences, but seeing him so rudely prying, she really didn’t want to bother with him anymore.
Glancing at him, Ge Bai said nothing and turned to leave. She had no obligation to answer his questions.
“Referee, I apply to re-verify the opposing contestant’s Pet Beast information. I suspect he falsified his Pet Beast Level.”
Ge Bai, who had already turned to leave, heard this statement from Hao Hao behind her and laughed out loud, but her footsteps didn’t falter at all.
This guy is really something, like a clown jumping around, can’t afford to lose.
——
At this time, the noise from the spectator stands was even louder than when Ge Bai first appeared.
“What the heck? This is a Challenge Match, right? If I remember correctly, the big screen just showed that Spirit Planter Ge Bai is a Level 4 or 5 Mortal Spirit Realm contestant, and she succeeded in a higher-level Challenge? Challenging five levels higher!”
“Hao Hao and Yellow-collared Golden King Xuanfeng didn’t throw the Match, did they?”
“Throw the Match my foot! Didn’t you see Mystic Phoenix in that state from the last strike? Throw the Match with their lives?”
“Is Weeping Ancient Willow definitely Mortal Spirit Realm Level 4?”
“Of course it is! Go check the official website; Ge Bai’s information has already updated. Her Preliminary Competition ranking is now 128th. The first Pet Beast info is Mortal Spirit Realm Level 4 Weeping Ancient Willow, and the second Pet Beast info field is empty, probably to be updated soon.”
“Where did this Spirit Planter come from? So terrifying.”
“I saw online that Weeping Ancient Willow is a wild Spirit Plant. I don’t quite believe it. Could it be a smokescreen from the Spirit Plant Research Institute? This is their carefully Cultivated Spirit Plant and Spirit Planter.”
“Who knows.”
……
Little Orchid in the spectator stands was also utterly shocked at this moment.
She had thought Ge Bai could win, but she really hadn’t expected Ge Bai to win so smoothly.
She had originally thought that even with Big Willow and Thousand Generations cooperating, facing a Transcendence Realm Level One flying bird-type Pet Beast, it would still be a hard-fought battle.
King Kong sitting next to Little Orchid spoke glumly after watching the Match.
“Cai Jiao, let’s not watch anymore. Hurry back for Training. I feel like if we keep going like this, it won’t be long before I can’t even beat Big Willow.”
Silver Kai King Kong was somewhat uneasy. Little Orchid glanced at him with a complicated expression; this had even made King Kong anxious.
“Good! We’ll go back and do Extra Training today.”

Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute.
Lu Nan, who had watched the entire Match live broadcast from behind the screen, let out a long breath.
Good thing there was no scene of Ge Bai getting beaten badly; he had dodged a bullet.
But on second thought, he felt a bit sour inside.
Ge Bai had become a Spirit Planter less than half a month ago and could already Challenge a Transcendence Realm Level One Pet Beast.
This was way better than he had been back then; she could already catch up to Senior Sister’s glorious record.
Plum Garden Trial first layer was just Transcendence Realm Low Tier, after all.
No, he had to step up too, hurry and clear it. If Ge Bai caught up in progress, it would really be embarrassing.
——
The Spirit Planter Forum was once again exploding because of Ge Bai.
[Remember that Weeping Ancient Willow that brutally beat the Porcupine Beast? Now it can beat a Transcendence Realm Level One Mystic Phoenix!]
As soon as the Post went up, the popularity soared rapidly.
“Holy cow! Did he eat a super strength pill?”
“Transcendence Realm Level One? Title wrong?”
“No mistake! I was there; it was so cool! From today, Ge Bai and Big Willow are my idols!”
“What’s the situation? Just throw out a Video; I can’t even open it. Where are the Forum tech staff? Hurry up and fix it.”
“I opened it. To be fair, Big Willow is awesome, but winning this Match is thanks to the Space Element Spirit Plant.”
“Yes, I saw it too. That Orchid in Ge Bai’s arms should be the Space Element Spirit Plant. The Wind Blade curving, and during Big Willow’s Flash at the end, there were clear Spiritual Power Fluctuations around the Orchid.”
“Space Element! Spirit Plant! This combo is so wonderful! What’s the exact situation? Has the Spirit Plant Research Institute issued an announcement? @Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute, don’t play dead; you definitely know.”
“Wait for the Arena Competition official news. By Rules, they at least have to report the species name of that Orchid today.”
“What kind of person is this Ge Bai? How does she Contract all these god-tier Spirit Plants? Officially envious.”
“Envious +1”
“That Little Orchid is so cute and pretty. Did you see? When leaving the Arena, it jumped onto Ge Bai’s head, like a hair accessory. Where can I buy a Seedling? I want one so bad!”
“Want +1”
“Just wait; I bet 80% it’s another wild Spirit Plant.”
“I think we can reasonably suspect that Ge Bai was a Spirit Plant in her previous life, maybe a Lingzhi. Possible that she’s a Spirit Plant turned sentient with past memories reborn, and the ones she’s Contracting now are her friends and family from her previous life.”
“Upstairs has a wild imagination; giving you a like.”
……
Ge Bai hadn’t expected this one Match of hers to attract so much attention.
At this moment, she was in the Waiting Area communicating with the Staff Member.
“The second Contracted Spirit Plant that appeared in this Match is the Space Element Spirit Plant Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid, Spiritual Power Level Mortal Spirit Realm Level 7.”
“Yes, the Alliance Spirit Plant database probably doesn’t have info on Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid yet; it’s a newly Contracted wild Spirit Plant.”
“The Spirit Plant Research Institute has done the Measurement, right there at the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute.”
Ge Bai was painstakingly explaining Thousand Generations Orchid’s background; this registration was much more troublesome than Big Willow’s.
Ge Bai had said everything she needed to, and the Staff Member didn’t make things difficult for her anymore, instead chatting with her about next steps.
“Congratulations, contestant Ge Bai. Do you have any Arrangement for your upcoming Battles?”
The Staff Member was even more polite to Ge Bai.
“Please have the Competition Organizers randomly Match contestants as normal. By the way, what Level are the contestants I’m randomly Matched with now?”
“Mortal Spirit Realm Level 9 to Transcendence Realm Level One or so.”
Ge Bai nodded. “No problem. Please try to arrange Transcendence Realm Level One or higher contestants.”
She was still thinking about completing the System Task here; solve it early for peace of mind—the Annihilation pressure was really annoying.
She had just opened the System for a look; after fighting Yellow-collared Golden King Xuanfeng, the System recognized two repels—pretty good, finally did something useful.
The Staff Member took Ge Bai’s request very seriously and made a note.
“Per Competition Organizers rules, top 128 contestants must Battle at least two Matches per day. Do you have a preference for your daily Match time?”
“Yes, available time for Matches is after 2 PM every day; 3 to 5 Matches per day is fine.”
“No problem; I’ll register that for you. Do you want another Match Matched for you today?”
Ge Bai hurriedly waved her hand. “Tomorrow instead; that’s it for today.”
The Staff Member smiled and closed the handheld Mobile Terminal.
“Alright, all cooperation items on this end are complete. Wish you smooth Matches and a pleasant life.”
Ge Bai also smiled and nodded to the Staff Member before taking Big Willow and Thousand Generations to the spectator area to find Little Orchid.
——
Jinggang City Y Bureau Headquarters, a certain Meeting Room.
Seven people sat at a round Meeting Table.
Each of the seven had a stack of Materials beside them.
Professor Luo Wan stood in front of a display screen, explaining to the screen.
Buzz, buzz. Buzz, buzz.
Professor Luo Wan’s Mobile Terminal had long been set to vibrate, tucked in his pocket.
But in the small Meeting Room, the vibration sound was still audible.
“Luo Wan, it’s all our own people; don’t be so rigid. If there’s a call, just answer it.”
When Professor Luo Wan’s Mobile Terminal rang for the third round, a white-bearded old man sitting at the Meeting Table chuckled and interrupted his report.
Professor Luo was a bit embarrassed. He looked at the Y Bureau Committee Members present and saw everyone smiling, so he could only accept the kindness, pause the report, take out the Mobile Terminal from his pocket, and after seeing it was a call from the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute duty staff, apologized to the Y Bureau Committee Members, walked to the window to answer.
“What’s up? Make it quick.”
Professor Luo Wan’s tone was serious; the caller was the duty Researcher from Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute.
He knew Professor Luo Wan was busy today, probably reporting at the Y Bureau, but he really had no choice.
“Professor Luo, the Jinggang City Level Arena Competition Competition Organizers called us to confirm if we know about that Space Element Spirit Plant Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid. Meanwhile, the Spirit Planter Forum is frantically @Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute about basically the same thing. If our Research Institute doesn’t reply soon, it’ll be untenable, and we’re about to hit the hot search.”
Professor Luo Wan frowned deeply as he listened.
“Why has this situation arisen?”
The duty Researcher briefly introduced to Professor Luo Wan Ge Bai’s glorious record in the City Level Arena Competition Preliminary, and thoughtfully shared the high-definition Battle Video circulating on the Forum with Professor Luo Wan.
After hearing it, Professor Luo Wan breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn’t bad news.
This Ge Bai girl was giving him a surprise every day; even participating in an Arena Competition created such a stir.
Professor Luo Wan, praising Ge Bai inwardly, was in a good mood but still seriously instructed the duty Researcher on follow-up work.
“You can inform the Arena Competition Competition Organizers of Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid’s Spiritual Power Level, Attribute, and other basic info. We at Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute fully endorse Ge Bai’s Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid Measurement results and rating data.”
“Also issue an announcement: detailed info on the Space Element Spirit Plant Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid to be released at midnight tonight.”
“Double-check the relevant data, and after I verify it one last time when I return, prepare for release.”
“Received.”
With the affirmative reply, the duty Researcher felt reassured and hung up satisfied.
Professor Luo Wan, smiling easily, put away the Mobile Terminal and returned to the display screen to continue the report.
“What good news, Old Luo? You look like spring has come.”
Another Committee Member asked with a chuckle.
Professor Luo Wan was in a great mood and itching to show off; this question hit the spot, so he naturally started talking.
“It’s somewhat related to the Cave Heaven Tree Sovereign I mentioned in today’s report.”
“Just now I mentioned Spirit Planter Ge Bai, who Contracted and brought out a Space Element Spirit Plant, Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid, from the Cave Heaven Tree Sovereign’s Secret Realm Space. Level isn’t high, just Mortal Spirit Realm Level 7. Our Research Institute did the Spirit Plant Measurement; details are on page 67 of the report Materials, Attachment 2.”
Rustling page-turning sounds; the Y Bureau Committee Members all flipped their Materials to the page Professor Luo Wan mentioned.
Seeing this, Professor Luo Wan didn’t stop and continued.
“Just got the news: today Ge Bai took Weeping Ancient Willow and Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid to the Jinggang City Arena Competition Preliminary. In the second Match, she higher-level defeated a Transcendence Realm Level One contestant, causing a small wave of discussion online.”
“The Arena Competition officials are worried about rashly announcing a new Spirit Plant, but their testing conditions are limited. Hearing Ge Bai say it was Measured at Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute, they called to verify.”
“Lots of Spirit Planters on the Forum @ our Spirit Plant Research Institute, eagerly asking about the Space Element Spirit Plant.”
The more Professor Luo Wan spoke, the prouder he got. Ge Bai was a Trainee Member he recommended to the Y Bureau; no matter how you looked at it, she was talented.
The old folks on the Y Bureau Committee looked at the Materials and listened to Professor Luo Wan’s introduction, nodding one after another.
One relatively younger square-faced Committee Member grasped the key point and asked.
“When can Seedlings of the Space Element Spirit Plant be Cultivated?”
