Chapter 29

Meanwhile, beside it, on the golden frame, a blue thorn bush grew from nothing into existence.

This blue thorn bush was one and a half meters long, two and a half meters wide, and four meters high.

The outside was covered in dark blue thorns, each as long as a forearm, reflecting a metallic luster.

And on the inside.

bloomed a blue flower.

"One and a half meters long!"

Li Yue smiled.

Regardless of everything else, just this one and a half meters in length, equivalent to one and a half white thorn bushes.

meant he shouldn't have lost out.

He checked the information of this blue thorn bush.

【Name: Blue Thorn Bush】

【Introduction: The Blue Thorn Bush is a mutation of the White Thorn Bush; it is rare for one to be born among a thousand White Thorn Bushes. They possess far stronger defense and more potent toxicity than the White Thorn Bush, and every Blue Thorn Bush can bloom once a precious Thorn Flower.】

"Thorn Flower?"

Li Yue looked at that blooming Thorn Flower; was this very precious?

He fixed his gaze on the Thorn Flower.

Choosing to check the information of the Thorn Flower.

【Name: Thorn Flower】

【Introduction: A Blue Thorn Bush blooms a flower only once in its life; their appearance is entirely accidental. Eating one Thorn Flower grants a 1% chance to obtain one Talent Point.】

"???"

"1% chance to obtain one Talent Point?!"

Li Yue's eyes widened; he was completely shocked.

What were Talent Points?

They were precious points that could greatly enhance a territory's strength!

He was currently at the Ordinary ★★★ Tier.

He obtained three Talent Points.

This raised the Offensive Art to lv3, capable of increasing the strength of the territory's combat units by 15%.

This was not an increase for just one territory unit.

but an increase for all territory combat units!

Now that the territory had few combat units, the effect was not yet very obvious.

But later—

when the territory's combat units increased, the effect would absolutely be terrifying.

The more Talent Points one had.

the stronger the territory's combat units could become.

And now—

he actually saw an item that could allow someone to obtain precious Talent Points!

"Build!"

"Build even if I have to sell the pots and melt the iron!"

Seeing the effect of the Thorn Flower, his heart immediately grew hot.

Although the Thorn Flower had only a 1% chance.

it didn't matter since he could build a large number of Blue Thorn Bushes.

For others, perhaps a thousand White Thorn Bushes were needed to mutate into one.

But for him.

however many he needed, however many he had.

Even if it only yielded four extra Talent Points.

it would be enough for him to raise the Offensive Art by four more levels.

By then, lv7 Offensive Art would be able to increase the strength of the territory's combat units by a full 35%!

This was extremely terrifying.

"I wonder what will appear if I continue synthesizing?"

He was full of enthusiasm.

He summoned two White Thorn Bushes again and synthesized them into one Blue Thorn Bush.

Then—

two Blue Thorn Bushes synthesized!

A purple thorn bush appeared on the spot, two meters long, four meters wide, and six meters high.

This looked like it was already close to the height of a two-story building.

Quite astonishing.

And four meters wide, enough for several horses to run abreast on top of it.

The outer spikes were even more fearsome; merely looking at them instilled a terrible sense of dread, making one dare not approach.

Inside, a purple thorn flower was blooming.

【Name: Purple Thorn Flower】

【Maturity Time: 23:59:59】

【Introduction: The Purple Thorn blooms only once in its life. Its appearance requires astonishing luck; it is a treasure bestowed by heaven. Before maturing, it emits an exotic fragrance that no creature can resist, spreading over a hundred li. Consuming it grants a 3% chance to gain one Talent Point. The first consumption grants +1 to all attributes.】
