After school in the afternoon, Jing Shaoyu asked Xu Xiaoyan to have dinner by herself, asked for leave from Ye Yingluo, got on his bike, and hurriedly left the East China Sea College.
A few minutes later, he arrived at Donghai Park, parked his bicycle, and then walked quickly into Donghai Park. Following the path in the park, he came to the depths of the park. This place was sparsely populated, with dense and lush vegetation. It was the area with the most vigorous plant growth in Donghai Park. The lush plants seemed to feel Jing Shaoyu's arrival, and they shook their branches and leaves to express their joy and cheers.
Every plant here grows very sturdy and tall; even the low shrubs are much taller than the average individual. Compared with the plants in other parts of the park, the plants here seem to have grown hundreds of years earlier. However, these plants, like most of the plants in Donghai Park, were planted no more than ten years ago.
The reason why plants in this area grow so prosperously is entirely because of Jing Shaoyu.
The reason is very simple. Jing Shaoyu comes here every month to bless the plants in this area, allowing them to improve their efficiency in absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth and speed up the process of improving their life levels.
In short, Jing Shaoyu added a buff effect to these plants that accelerates their cultivation.
As for how such a buff effect that can accelerate cultivation came about, that's a long story.
I remember it was three years ago. One time, he and Na'er were playing and frolicking in Donghai Park. Inadvertently, Na'er ran deep into the park. Jing Shaoyu chased Na'er and came to this area.
Na'er was tripped by a tree root at that time, and her tender white knees were bruised and bleeding, which made Jing Shaoyu feel very distressed.
So, he used his first soul skill to treat Naer, and it was such a coincidence that he discovered a new ability of the Crown of Nature.
The natal skill of the Origin Elf Martial Soul is called Healing Light. Its main effect is healing, which is for soul masters or animals.
But when Jing Shaoyu releases the healing light at the plants, a special effect will be triggered. The origin of the plants bathed in the healing light will be strengthened, their growth rate will be accelerated, and the efficiency of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth will be improved. In short, plants under this effect will be more likely to awaken as plant-type soul beasts, and their cultivation speed will be accelerated.
This special effect is called Nature's Blessing.
Plants blessed by nature will grow faster, cultivate faster, and evolve in life levels more efficiently than other plants. Jing Shaoyu has obtained definite results after three years of research.
At first, when Jing Shaoyu was a first-ring soul master, he was limited by his first soul skill, the healing light, which was a single soul skill, so he could only bless one plant with nature every month. So he chose the ancient tree that tripped Na'er, a nan tree that had grown for five hundred years but was still an ordinary plant.
This nan tree is the oldest plant in the area. After a year of natural blessings, it completed the transition of life level, evolving from an ordinary plant into a plant soul beast, giving birth to spiritual intelligence and deriving soul power, all in one go.
This made Jing Shaoyu very excited. He cultivated a plant soul beast!
The newly born Nan tree soul beast was a hundred-year soul beast with a cultivation base of five hundred years. When it became a soul beast and was blessed by Jing Shaoyu again, it condensed a ball of energy with one-tenth of its cultivation base to contribute to the Holy Lord who created it, Jing Shaoyu.
The feedback from the Nanshu soul beast increased the lifespan of Jing Shaoyu's soul ring by fifty years, which greatly stabilized Jing Shaoyu's idea and determination to cultivate plant soul beasts.
In the next two years, as Jing Shaoyu became a great soul master and possessed the group healing second soul skill Healing Wave, the number of plants he blessed each time increased.
Today, with the Nan tree soul beast as the center, there are a total of nine plant soul beasts within a radius of 500 meters. The one with the highest cultivation level among them is the old Nan tree, a 700-year-old soul beast, and the weakest one is a sea lily, 300 years old.
These plant soul beasts increased the age of Jing Shaoyu's soul ring by nearly five hundred years. They were also the heroes who enabled Jing Shaoyu's soul ring to be upgraded to purple.
He also figured out the exact effect of the natural blessing. Under the natural blessing state, ordinary plants will gain ten times the growth effect, and plant soul beasts will gain five times the cultivation effect. To be more specific, one day of growth for ordinary plants is equivalent to ten days, and one day of cultivation for plant soul beasts is equivalent to five days of cultivation.
It is also necessary to mention here that the growth states of plants in the state of natural blessing and plants in the state of plant control are different.
Nature's blessing affects the thickness of plants' lives, that is, their life levels, while plant control affects the length of plants' lives, that is, their simple growth cycles. So although both belong to the same ability system of the Crown of Nature, there is a world of difference between them in essence.
Three years later, the residents near Donghai Park didn't know that nine plant soul beasts were born in Donghai Park, and one of them was a Nanshu soul beast with a cultivation of nearly 800 years!
If this was exposed, I'm afraid the whole of Donghai City would be shocked!
Fortunately, at Jing Shaoyu's request, these plant soul beasts all behaved themselves and usually pretended to be ordinary plants. Only in front of Jing Shaoyu would they show their soul beast side.
The characteristics of plant soul beasts make them difficult to be discovered. In addition, the area where they are located is deep in Donghai Park, and few people come here, so no one has discovered them. It is estimated that unless something major happens in the future, this group of plant soul beasts will probably continue to live here.
"Okay, okay, be quiet!" Jing Shaoyu was surrounded by the branches, leaves and flowers of the plants. With a smile on his face, as if he were treating a child, he said, "I know you are excited, but don't be anxious yet!"
Jing Shaoyu calmed the excited plants and then released his martial spirit. With the possession of the Origin Spirit, the plants became more active, with branches and leaves swaying like dancing children. The thickest nan tree dropped a branch, lifted Jing Shaoyu's body, and placed him on its thickest branch.
On that branch, there was a throne made up of branches, leaves and flowers. This was specially woven for Jing Shaoyu by this group of plant soul beasts using their own body parts.
He sat comfortably on the throne of plants, and then his second soul ring flickered. Waves of green light filled with the breath of life fell from his hands onto every plant in the area. Then, no matter whether they were plant soul beasts or ordinary plants, they all danced in the bright green light, with green leaves and flowers vying for brilliance, creating a scene of prosperous life.
About an hour later, Jing Shaoyu ended his soul skill, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing. Seeing this, the plants all quieted down, fearing that they would disturb their master's rest. Yes, in the eyes of these plant soul beasts, Jing Shaoyu was their master, and they were willing to give everything for him.
Dots of green light condensed from the bodies of the plant soul beasts, one or two balls of green light, a total of nine balls of green light, corresponding to the number of plant soul beasts. Under their control, the green light balls flew into Jing Shaoyu's body one after another. This was the plant soul beasts' repayment.
Jing Shaoyu, who was meditating, felt this life energy and was not surprised, because every time, he could get feedback from the plant soul beasts. This time, the age of his soul ring increased by about 20 years, and his soul power also increased by a few strands.
After another half an hour, Jing Shaoyu ended his meditation and walked down to the ground from the branches of the nan tree in a happy mood. He was ready to leave and waved goodbye to the group of plant soul beasts with a smile.
"Goodbye, I'll come to see you next month!" Jing Shaoyu said gently.
The plant soul beasts shook their branches and leaves. They wanted to keep the Lord, but they knew that the Lord had a great mission, so they could not keep him. They could only watch him leave and hope for his next visit.
Every time after getting along with the plant soul beasts, Jing Shaoyu always feels happy and comfortable, just like when he is with Jing Ziyuan, Lin Xin, Naer and others, like they are family.
He was walking on the path of East China Sea Park with a smile on his face. About six or seven hundred meters away from the area where the plant soul beasts were, he met a girl of the same age as him.
The girl had an ordinary appearance but excellent temperament and exuded a peculiar charm all over her body, like a solitary orchid in a valley or a red apricot in a courtyard, fascinating.
The path was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. Jing Shaoyu and the girl were getting closer and closer, and neither of them seemed to have the intention of giving way.
Jing Shaoyu was attracted by the girl's temperament, and the girl seemed to be confused by Jing Shaoyu's appearance. Just like that, neither of them stopped and they bumped into each other.
"Ah!" The girl's body size was no match for Jing Shaoyu. Caught off guard, she was knocked backwards uncontrollably by Jing Shaoyu, and she let out a scream of fear and panic.
