Chapter 69: Chapter 67 Let
At the sa ti, its vines had grown thorns with a numbing effect. The toxicity was not strong, but the numbing power was quite lasting.
There was also an additional minor attribute, the Concealnt Technique, which allowed Li Pan to beco completely hidden and invisible with the help of trees and plants, undetectable by others.
On the return journey, when encountering suitable Mutant Plants, the Star Tree did not let them go, directly devouring them.
After absorbing a Mountain Peach Tree, it obtained a Seventh-Order Wood Elent Crystal Core, beautifully transparent like a gem. Li Pan planned to keep it for now or exchange it at the base for other Spirit Plants that might be needed, and not absorb it right away as its rank was too high for her to assimilate.
This ti, she had obtained an entire bag of Wood Elent Crystal Cores, as well as Crystal Cores of other elents that she left for Lei Ming to distribute. He said he would give them to the base since so had lower ranks that they couldn’t use.
There was no rush on the way back, and they casually hunted so Mutant Plants and Mutant Animals, considering it a convenient added bounty.
“Bro, I plan to keep so of the unnecessary Wood Elent Crystal Cores for other Low-level superpower users at the base. It won’t be long before Zhang Qi and Xie Ling at ho will no longer need low-level Crystal Cores. Keeping Second-level and above should suffice, and we only need a small amount of Tier 1 for Zhang Qi to get used to it for a few days.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Xue Dong nodded his head in agreent.
These Wood Elent Crystal Cores were only available from Mutant Plants, and they were sowhat difficult to obtain. Combat superpower users generally killed Mutant Animals and wouldn’t specifically hunt for plants unless provoked, sotis not even noticing them due to their concealed nature.
Wood Elent Crystal Cores were relatively scarce, typically obtained only through hunting by Combat superpower users.
By the ti they returned to the base, it was mid-June. They had been out for twenty days before coming back.
The expedition could be considered a resounding success, with three pieces of Spiritual dicine of varying ages, dozens of other wild dicinal Materials, two bags of Combat System Crystal Cores of varying ranks, and more than two hundred Wood Elent Crystal Cores. The lower ranks were nurous, with Fifth-level and Sixth-level being more common, while Sixth and Seventh Tier were the least.
“It’s good you’re back safely. You’ve worked hard. Rest for a day before going ho. I’ve asked about the farm for you, no problems there.”
The Base Commander was relieved to see everyone return safely.
“Uncle, I’m a High-level Wood Power User now.”
Li Pan stood in front of the Base Commander, smiling, looking for praise.
“Really, that’s wonderful.”
The Base Commander took a careful look before he noticed, his face showing surprise and joy as he nodded repeatedly.
With a formal bow, Li Pan expressed her gratitude, “Uncle, I’ve caused you trouble. If it weren’t for you taking care of the two of us over the years, we wouldn’t be where we are today. I want to say thank you!”
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, many reflections, and above all, gratitude.
The Base Commander’s eyes grew warm as he looked up and took a deep breath, then lifted her up, “Silly child, seeing both of you succeed makes happy; it ans I’ve done well by my brothers below.”
His smile was brilliant, his eyes glistening.
As the children of his brothers grew up through trials and tribulations, he would also be able to face his brothers with pride.
“Boss, we made a fortune this ti. I’m telling you, we got quite a haul of good stuff…”
Lei Ming ca up to lighten the mood, grabbing the Base Commander’s attention as he chattered about the great things they had found, and the atmosphere beca lively and cheerful.
“Let’s go inside to talk, first deposit the goods.”
The Base Commander grinned broadly, happy to see the kids growing up and becoming more dependable.
“Uncle, we got quite a few Wood Elent Crystal Cores this ti. I’ll keep a portion for you; we have two Wood Elent people at ho, and Zhang Qi looks like he’s about to advance as well. I’ll keep so for the two of them; the rest I’ll leave for the base. I also have Sixth and Seventh-level Crystal Cores, do you need them? If you can use them, I’ll keep them for you.”
“You have Seventh-stage ones? We have a Wood Elent superpower user at ho who’s about to reach the Zhenhua level. He’s especially skilled at cultivating Spiritual dicine, and after upgrading, he’ll have healing power. What do you think…”
“I’ll buy it from you.”
Having few options, the Base Commander scraped together the resources by shifting around what was available. Li Pan’s crystal core was procured in the sa way, donated to her by other high-level Wood Elent superpower users without charge.
“Okay, then prioritize its use for the older brothers. I won’t be able to use it imdiately anyway, so please, you take it.”
Li Pan nodded in agreent. After all, the Star Tree’s devouring ability had grown even stronger than before. If necessary, she could venture into the forest once more.
“I won’t just take it for nothing. I feel ashad. Seventh-order crystal cores aren’t found just like that. I’ll exchange it for a few Fifth-level and Sixth-level crystal cores for you. I’ll cover Zhang Qi and Xie Ling’s crystal cores; they use low-level ones, so it’s not a big deal.”
The Base Commander assured her multiple tis, growing increasingly fond of Li Pan. The child was so thoughtful and sincere; they couldn’t let her suffer any losses.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. Plus, I have so good news to tell…”
Li Pan whispered in the Base Commander’s ear, telling him about her Absolute Healing ability, which would benefit both the base and herself greatly.
Spiritual dicine is not so easily obtained, and can only be exchanged among each other. The ability she could offer was Absolute Healing, which was vital for the base to save a superpower user.
Training a superpower user is not an easy task, and they can’t be lost or given up on lightly.
“Really?”
The Base Commander’s eyes lit up with excitent.
“That’s what the Star Tree conveyed to .”
“Then it’s almost certain. I understand. Don’t tell anyone but Xue Dong; I need to ensure your safety. You’re still young, and I will take care of the rest.”
“Alright, here’s the Seventh-level Crystal Core for you.”
Li Pan promptly handed over the Seventh-Order Wood Elent Crystal Core to the Base Commander.
In fact, as long as one has enough ability, there were many more such millennium-old mutant plants deeper in the forest; it’s all about whether you have the capability to obtain them.
“Alright, this ti I’m taking advantage of you, but you definitely won’t be at a loss. Zhang Qi has advanced to the Middle-level and awakened his Companion Spirit Plant, the Devouring Thorns.”
“Eh? Is that considered a Spirit Plant since it’s of the attacking type?”
Li Pan rembered such a plant; she had seen it in the catalog of high-level companion plants, belonging to the attacking category.
“Yes, indeed it’s of the attacking type and falls under the category of Spirit Plants. He’s a boy, subconsciously admiring strength, and he’s quite concerned about having powerful attack capabilities. The awakening is greatly related to a person’s subconscious – being a boy, his first thought is to protect himself and fend off enemies, so naturally, he would awaken an attack-type plant.”
The Base Commander explained with a smile, “The Devouring Thorns have the ability to devour souls, stripping others of their consciousness and strength, a bit similar to the Star Tree’s devouring ability, but not quite the sa.”
“I see, that’s not bad at all.”
“Yes, and he’s planning to learn how to cultivate dicinal materials, to enhance his survival capability.”
“That’s good. When I return, we’ll study cultivation together, striving to develop both of them into high-level Wood Elent superpower users, which will be beneficial for the base.”
“I’ve asked him, and he doesn’t plan on leaving the farm. The child is grateful and sensible, so I’m letting him stay to continue his work here. If there’s anything you need, just tell , and I’ll find it for you.”
“Sure.”
They celebrated together in the base’s main kitchen, jubilant over the plentiful harvest. The Base Commander was particularly happy, with several Spirit Plants added to their stock, especially the Dendrobium, which if managed well, could take the base to the next level.
The Base Commander reserved the Seventh-Order Wood Elent Crystal Core for the only superpower user in the base who was about to undergo Zhenhua transformation, a male who had been with the Base Commander for years.
The Base Commander personally handed it over, “This is from Li Pan for you. She doesn’t know anything about you. I only ntioned it was for our base’s only Zhenhua superpower user, and she took it out without a second thought. The person who saved your nephew last ti, that was her.”
