Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Standing at the front speaking was the person in charge for this mission, wearing a white lab coat and glasses, introducing these rather special seeds in a methodical manner based on the image data.

It was only then that Shen Yao learned that the seeds originated from the mountain ridges to the north, and discovering them carried a certain legendary significance.

In short, these seeds were eventually brought back to the laboratory; after everyone worked hard to test them, the leader stepped forward and proactively sought help from all sectors of society.

The wood-type ability users present each received a seed wrapped in an ink-green outer shell.

About the size of a fingernail, the shell's surface was smooth and formed a rather special triangle.

Carefully sensing the active elements inside the seed and attempting to input wood-type ability into its interior, Shen Yao's expression turned somewhat playful.

Hmm

The officials weren't wrong; the seed was strange. Although active, it was difficult to plant, especially since the seed relied on itself to break out of the outermost shell.

'System, familiar or not?'

Shen Yao thought of a spiritual plant she had encountered in the Cultivation World back then.

Half-Moon Spirit Lotus

A spiritual plant that grew on land but needed moonlight to grow.

As for its effect, it helped increase shenfu, and what they needed to deal with now was ability enhancement.

'Host, Spiritual Qi Revival, in the end, will still gradually approach the cultivation environment.'

Therefore, spiritual plants that exist in the Cultivation World will also appear in the modern world of Spiritual Qi Revival.

It's just that Blue Star's Spiritual Qi Revival has just begun; developing it will take a very long time (starting from several decades to even a hundred years).

'Yes, this Half-Moon Spirit Lotus seed is the best proof.'

Shen Yao held the seed in her hand and played with it; the other wood-type ability users had varying expressions. For such a special seed, if they truly wanted to grow it, their benefits would be indispensable.

After finishing the matter of the seeds, the person in charge also introduced the place of origin of the seeds, appearing to have the intention of exploring again.

Besides the wood-type ability users, those sitting in the conference room were mostly people with other physical mutations.

Upholding the principle of voluntary participation, the officials offered generous rewards to the outside.

'... If everyone is interested, you can sign up privately and set off in three days,' acting together with the officials and following official command.

After the meeting adjourned, Shen Yao asked Yu Ze Yun, 'Going?'

Yu Ze Yun nodded with a clear expression, 'The officials are selecting suitable partners.'

It turned out that not all ability users could enter this conference room. Like Yu Xingye, who had awakened power-type abilities, although he arrived, he was stopped at the door.

This was not because Yu Xingye had a problem with his personality; it was simply because he was unsuitable.

Among the many ability users who could enter the conference room, besides the wood-type ability users responsible for cultivating the seeds, the rest were candidates the officials tended to cooperate with.

There were clever people like Yu Ze Yun, who understood at a hint and knew what to do without being told.

There were also some stupid yet self-important people who used their special traits to manipulate the officials, hoping to exchange for more benefits.

There were quite a few such people. Even if the officials were unwilling, they still cooperated, but once the officials' power became strong in the future, these people would all be abandoned by the officials.

Yu Ze Yun only wanted to hug thighs and didn't want to be the eldest brother. After exchanging a few words with Shen Yao, he signed up privately. By the time Shen Yao started cultivating the seeds every day, this person had already gone to the northern mountain forests with the officials.

…………

Wood-type ability emerged from her fingertips, like a tender green long dragon entering the interior of the seed. The seed burst out a faint light halo, slowly floating in mid-air and emitting a humming sound.

Seeing this, Shen Yao increased the intensity of her ability input until the ability within her body was exhausted.

Ability recovered quite slowly. Shen Yao had spiritual plants in her hand that could restore it, so she ate while silently meditating and resting without a word. When the ability within her body could be freely output again, the seed continued to catalyze while floating in mid-air.

It took about three days for a trace of change to appear on the seed's outer shell.

Cracks!

Shen Yao looked at it curiously. After silently sensing it for a while, she became even more certain that this was the seed of the Half-Moon Spirit Lotus.

Curious about the difference between the Half-Moon Spirit Lotus of Spiritual Qi Revival and that of the Cultivation World, Shen Yao put in even more effort, wishing she could catalyze the seed today and have the Half-Moon Spirit Lotus bloom and bear fruit tomorrow.

Other wood-type ability users made more or less progress. Compared to modern technology, ability-based methods were still better.

The people in the laboratory were very pleased. These seeds indeed responded effectively to ability-based catalysis, but due to the seed's relatively strong resistance, even with ability catalysis, it still took quite a lot of time.

The originally scheduled half month was naturally not enough, so Shen Yao settled down at the base with peace of mind.

The cracks in the seed's outer shell grew larger and larger, until the ink-green shell finally broke open, revealing the emerald-green leaves and stems inside.

A specially made flowerpot was put to use, and people from the laboratory ran over to help. If it weren't for the fact that the sprouted seedlings still needed a considerable amount of wood-type energy, the officials would be more willing to cultivate them themselves.

Shen Yao was the fastest and most obvious example among the wood-type ability users.

The officials intended to make her a golden signboard and use the opportunity to recruit more ability users.

Shen Yao was well aware of this and had no dissatisfaction whatsoever. After all, the benefits were not few.

A month passed in a flash. The Half-Moon Spirit Lotus planted in the flowerpot had grown branches, and green flower buds appeared at the top.

The flower bud was only as long as a finger. The green petals were similar in color to the surrounding leaves; if not for the different shape, one might think it was just a potted green plant.

'Whose green plant is this pretty?'

Shen Yao raised her hand and touched the surface of the flower bud. Wherever she passed, there was a gleaming luster.

Half-Moon Spirit Lotus. The lotus petals carried a special luster, and mixed within the luster was Spiritual Energy.

When the Half-Moon Spirit Lotus matured, the Spiritual Energy in the luster would all dissolve into the lotus pod, finally forming seed after seed, used to cultivate new Half-Moon Spirit Lotuses.

Dong dong dong—

The room door was knocked on. It was a staff member from the laboratory, holding a machine used for daily detection, and by the way collecting various data on the Half-Moon Spirit Lotus.

Oh, Yue Ban Ling Lian is what they call it in the Cultivation World, but right now it's called Cui Yu Ling Lian.

After the staff finished testing, they carefully cut off a few lotus leaves, thanked Shen Yao repeatedly, and then left.

【Host, Yu Ze Yun and the others are coming back soon.】

The system ran around the base all day and heard plenty of gossip, but very little of it was useful to Shen Yao.

After all, they were government staff, most of them busy with legitimate business; sometimes the system sighed with Shen Yao that the people here were all serious.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow and gazed into the distance through the window.

Her place was on the tenth floor, with a good view and activity areas around it.

Shen Yao spent most of her time in her room, occasionally going out once in a while, and she knew she had recently become somewhat famous, so she tried her best not to cause trouble.

But unfortunately, she didn't cause trouble, yet trouble liked to come knocking; Shen Yao looked at the man blocking her path, somewhat unsure of his purpose.

If you want to find out about the Cui Yu Ling Lian, shouldn't you contact the laboratory?

If the laboratory could get it out of him, would he still try every means to block Shen Yao? The man muttered in his heart and squeezed out a fawning smile on his face, "Miss Shen"

Shen Yao nodded slightly, signaling the man to continue.

Seeing this, the man seemed encouraged; at first he was a bit hesitant, but his words became smoother and smoother, and even when he finally proposed a visit, he didn't change color, as if he really had no ill intentions.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao went around the man and walked forward, "A single man and woman alone together—there's no need for a visit.

The laboratory has pictures and stems and leaves of the Cui Yu Ling Lian; Mr. Huang speaks earnestly, and I believe the official will certainly not refuse Mr. Huang's request."

The man:...

Shen Yao left cleanly and decisively; to avoid trouble appearing again, she even took a small path to the base exterior.

"Sister Shen"

Li Jing came running over with red, swollen eyes, calling out after confirming she hadn't seen wrong.

Seeing it was Li Jing, Shen Yao smiled and made small talk; unlike the wood-type ability user who left behind catalysts for the Cui Yu Ling Lian, Li Jing had originally been going to the Bei Mian Shan Lin with the official, but her family held her back, so she had to stay at the base as a reserve.

Nowadays, everyone at the base knows Li Jing's situation; the official vaguely intends to take action, but is held back by Li Jing's growing environment and her own circumstances, unsure of how much force to use, and even more afraid of harming Li Jing.

"Sister Shen, thank you for what happened before."

Li Jing raised her hand and scratched her head, her smile shy and uneasy.

"No need to thank me; it's all your own ability."

Shen Yao felt Li Jing needed to save herself; other people's abilities could only be considered external force—helping her block it once or twice was fine, but what about three or four times?

In other words, when one day the number of ability awakeners is no longer as few as it is now, Li Jing's importance to the official will greatly decrease.

The official might not be as concerned as they are now about dealing with the Li family members with ulterior motives; if a Wang family member or a Zheng family member jumps out next, that's entirely possible.

Li Jing was easier to handle than other ability awakeners; her nature wasn't formed in a day or two—if Li Jing didn't stand on her own, she could only pin her hopes on her good luck, hoping to find a family with a conscience, even if she was deceived for a lifetime.

Perhaps such deception was more suitable for Li Jing? Shen Yao saw the ending of this kind of person through Li Jing—more bad than good; who let the human heart be the most unpredictable.

"Sister Shen"

Li Jing mustered her courage wanting to say something, but looking at Shen Yao's calm gaze, she seemed unable to open her mouth again; perhaps she was just such a person—cowardly and inferior.

Shen Yao had no mood to play the role of a confidante elder sister; Li Jing's problem couldn't have an immediate effect just from saying a few words of chicken soup.

With tacit understanding they waved and parted; Shen Yao simply went to the laboratory.

The research progress of the Cui Yu Ling Lian was controlled by the laboratory; as the party who provided great help, Shen Yao had the right to freely enter and exit the laboratory.

The stems and leaves encased in layer upon layer of transparent glass were arranged in order from small to large.

As an ability user, Shen Yao could feel the spiritual energy distribution within the stems and leaves, all concentrated around the veins.

"Miss Shen"

The staff member responsible for daily testing saw Shen Yao come in and hurriedly crowded over, quietly explaining that among the various tests in the laboratory, the Cui Yu Ling Lian cultivated and catalyzed by Shen Yao was the most excellent.

"The team that went to the Bei Mian Shan Lin this time—besides digging up information on the Cui Yu Ling Lian, didn't they bring back quite a few seeds?"

Shen Yao openly probed for information, because the returning team would contact the official and the laboratory at the first opportunity.

Even if Yu Ze Yun and his group hadn't arrived yet, important news would definitely have been sent back.

Sure enough, the staff member's words were somewhat vague, explaining that indeed some seeds had been brought back, but they hadn't undergone systematic testing yet, and the specific situation of these seeds was still unknown.

"However, please rest assured, Miss Shen; the Cui Yu Ling Lian you cultivated and catalyzed is growing well, with abundant spiritual essence surrounding it; we are more inclined to cooperate with you."

Having a cooperative partner who doesn't cause trouble, is easy to talk to, and is capable is something many people dream of.

The staff member highly recognized Shen Yao's ability; if it weren't for his own low permission level, he would have wished to tell everything he could say.

Shen Yao:... there's no need

After staying in the laboratory for a while, Shen Yao left on the excuse of taking care of the Cui Yu Ling Lian.

The system poked its head out eagerly, 【Host, this time the official had an abundant harvest; with your catalyzing skill, you can get most of the seeds.】

The Cui Yu Ling Lian was the best proof; Shen Yao really could cultivate it exceptionally well.

【Yeah】

Shen Yao didn't humble herself, because everything the system said was the truth.

System:...

Never seen someone so thick-skinned; however, the host's performance was also because she was confident enough; the system was persuaded by its own logic, after all, they were ultimately responsible for the mission.

Walking alone back to her room, Shen Yao saw the Cui Yu Ling Lian placed on the living room tea table; her wood-type ability released like a green silk thread from thin air and was absorbed by the Cui Yu Ling Lian; the originally tightly wrapped flower bud appeared a gap, showing signs of faintly blooming.

Seeing this, Shen Yao simply sped up the release of her ability, back and forth several times, finally letting the outermost petals of the flower bud slowly scatter.

Inside the blue-green petals was a pale green flower bud, layered upon layered, beautiful and magnificent.

When Shen Yao was in the Immortal Cultivation World, she had once collected Cui Yu Ling Lian; the beautiful flowers were as hard as jade, a material for alchemy.

Of course, besides the flower, the remaining lotus pods and the lotus roots grown from the rhizomes also had uses; it's just that there were quite a few similar spiritual plants in the Cultivation World, and the Cui Yu Ling Lian wasn't outstanding, so most of the spiritual lotuses were wasted.

Placed in the modern world where spiritual energy had just revived, the Cui Yu Ling Lian was a treasure all over; waste? The extravagant behavior of the Cultivation World placed in the modern world was simply impossible.

In the time that followed, Shen Yao devoted all her energy to the Emerald Jade Spirit Lotus, constantly drawing on her Wood-type Ability within her body to catalyze it, striving to make the petals fully bloom as soon as possible.

Because Shen Yao was too absorbed in her behavior, she was still a bit dazed when Yu Ze Yun knocked on the door.

Hm?

You're back?!

"I'm back. There were some twists and turns on the road, but as far as the result goes, everything is fine."

Yu Ze Yun's aura became even more fierce and murderous; it was obvious that he had run into trouble on this operation.

Shen Yao pointed at the Emerald Jade Spirit Lotus, which was about to fully bloom, indicating that Yu Ze Yun could witness it together with her if he had time.

"This is a flower?"

It feels like jade when touched; truly miraculous.

"The seeds you brought back this time might contain a surprise inside."

Spiritual plants are inherently special; in Shen Yao's eyes, the spiritual energy contained in this flower bud about to bloom is the core of the entire Emerald Jade Spirit Lotus.

The Emerald Jade Spirit Lotus is of the Wood element; Wood-type Ability Users taking it orally is beneficial for Ability improvement, and if combined with other spiritual plants and refined into pills at different ratios, it becomes a miraculous elixir applicable to all Ability Users.
