Bab 35: Sword Grass

[Spirit Level 1: Increases Spirit by 1 point] – This characteristic of the Greenwood Heart Technique enhances the practitioner's spiritual power.

By mastering the technique, the cultivator's spirit becomes more potent, allowing for a deeper connection with the essence of nature.

This increased spiritual strength aids in sensing and interacting with the environment and spiritual plants more effectively.

[Plant Affinity Level 1: Increases affinity by 5 points] – This characteristic boosts the practitioner's affinity with plants, making it easier to communicate and harmonize with them.

A higher plant affinity means the practitioner can better understand the needs of plants, accelerate their growth with less spiritual power, and influence their properties.

Even the description of affinity changed on the attribute board with clearer values than before.

The Greenwood Heart Technique is a low-level profound quality cultivation method (Yellow -> Profound -> Earth -> Heaven) with 5 layers.

Each layer represents a deeper level of mastery and connection with nature and Spiritual plants around him.

The higher the level, the greater the increase in Spirit attribute and affinity.

However, when Ram looked at the thousand points of proficiency needed for the next level, he decided to skip adding more for now.

With his slightly more than a thousand points of spiritual power, his current priority is to increase his combat power, and the Thousand Leaf Pinnacle is the only way he can think of now before adding a new combat profession.

Similar to the Greenwood Heart Technique, the Thousand Leaf Pinnacle is also a low-level profound quality cultivation method.

With five levels, each level increases the number of swords controlled, the user's Spirit attribute as well as the speed, flexibility, and strength of the swords.

He followed the same steps as before and soon found the new skill on the attribute bar.

[ Immortal Techniques:

- Thousand Leaf Pinnacle Lv-1 (0 '+' /100)]

He filled the proficiency of the skill to full directly using spiritual power. As before, he felt his spirit increase again.

The increase was comparable to previous experiences, and a large number of practice memories began to surge through his mind.

These included practicing the technique, controlling multiple sword leaves, reducing the use of spiritual power, and various combat methods.

After completing the process, Ram checked his attribute panel:

[ Immortal Techniques:

- Greenwood Heart Technique: Lv2 (0 '+' /1000), Characteristics: Spirit Level 1, Plant Affinity Level 1

- Thousand Leaf Pinnacle: Lv2 (0 '+' /1000), Characteristics: Spirit Level 1, Multiple Blade Control Level 1, Leaf-Shuriken Level 1]

[ Leaf-Shuriken Level 1: The user can launch individual leaves as sharp projectiles, perfect for mid-range attacks or taking down flying enemies.]

[ Multiple Blade Control Level 1: The user can control 4 sword leaves at the same time. The larger the number of blades, the higher the consumption of spiritual power.]

"However, I still need sword grass to use Thousand Leaf Pinnacle. Ordinary grass cannot withstand my spiritual power to turn into swords and cause damage." Ram thought.

"Only those who have reached the level of Sword Saint can perfectly control their sword qi and sword intent, causing tremendous damage without destroying the ordinary grass. And I'm not a Sword Saint, not even a proper swordsman."

He opened the first small box containing the Sword Grass seed and examined it closely.

Sword-grass, a Tier-3 spirit seed, has the potential to grow into a Tier-3 spiritual plant.

After the spiritual plant matures, it is like a sword blade—sharp and tough, and it is a natural material for refining flying swords.

The seed is dark green and has a sharp, metallic sheen, almost like a sword.

Using his life energy, he didn't need to plant the seeds in the soil and water them with spiritual water like other Spiritual Planters.

So, just like how he infused the mushrooms earlier, he slowly injected the life energy into the seed.

As soon as the seed came in contact with his life energy, it began to absorb it crazily, faster than the spirit mushrooms.

Ram didn't back down; he continued to accelerate the infusion and maintained a balance according to the speed of absorption to avoid losing life energy that would dissipate into the air. The process lasted for five minutes.

Soon, the seed stopped absorbing at 70 points of life energy and began to grow rapidly, visible to the naked eye, from a small seed to fist-length grass with sharp leaves—two large and two small.

Even the numerous, small hairlike roots were very sharp and hard.

However, even though the seed grew in his hand, the roots or grass didn't harm him the slightest bit, just entangling around his fingers tightly.

[ Name: Sword Grass]

[ Level: Black Iron (Tier-1)]

[ Quality: Rare]

[ Physique: 7]

[ Spirit: 0.6]

[ Description: A resilient blade of grass with a surprisingly sharp edge, rumored to have grown on a fragment of a legendary sword. While seemingly ordinary, it possesses an extraordinary cutting ability.]

[ Skills:

[Environmental Fortification]: Grown in a specific, harsh environment, the plant developed exceptional strength, resilience, and unnatural toughness, comparable to forged steel.]

When he looked at the attribute panel that appeared, he felt very happy. The attributes of the sword grass were way off compared to Thorny before turning into a wood spirit, including its Spirit attribute.

Even the quality of sword grass was already rare, and its physique attribute had already reached general Tier-2 professionals.

The skill of Environmental Fortification also made the leaves and other parts of the plant as tough as steel.

But he wasn't done with the plant yet. He planned on turning this sword grass into a wood spirit to see what talent it could awaken.

He found that the spirituality of the sword grass was higher than Thorny. With the infusion of spiritual power, the Spirit attribute also increased slowly.

Each time the Spirit attribute increased by 0.1 points, the sword grass rustled, gently swaying in his hands, expressing its gratitude.

A few minutes later, it finally crossed the threshold and reached 1 point.

As soon as the Spirit attribute reached 1 point, it started to evolve into a wood spirit, turning into a small, fist-sized humanoid similar to Thorny but very different.

A large number of grass leaves appeared around its body, forming a grass cocoon.

Ram watched with anticipation as the evolution completed.

The new wood spirit emerged from the cocoon, its body covered in sharp, sword-like leaves.

It had a fierce look in its tiny eyes, exuding a powerful presence despite its small size.
