Chapter 186: Falling into a Windy Plane

No, it was grown from the original plant. Seeing Ange woke up after sleeping for half a year and found that the Spirit Beans had not sprouted many buds, but their growth habits were clearly recorded, so he began life acceleration, forcibly accelerating the Spirit Beans to their first harvest period.

Now he had five hundred Spirit Beans in hand, but after these beans bore fruit, the main Spirit Bean plant withered; although not dead, it was on its last breath, and until the cause was understood, it was impossible to accelerate it to a second harvest period.

"Ah? All that effort, and you only got five hundred Spirit Beans? You even used them to feed a cat?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si immediately felt his heart ache.

Cat? Seeing Ange tilted his head, the Little Angel tilted his head, the Little Zombie tilted his head, and the Little Sapling also tilted its head.

"What else? Isn't this a cat? And a gluttonous cat at that; even if it is an Evil God, it is still an Evil God gluttonous cat." Lord Nai Ge Li Si pointed angrily at that furry little paw.

The little paw pawed for a while, found nothing, grew a bit anxious, turned its palm upward, and its short toes flexed and extended incessantly.

"Don't use them to feed the cat anymore; it's too wasteful. Keep them as seeds. Even if it only bears five hundred beans, if the quantity increases, perhaps you can research a method for high yield?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.

Seeing Ange tilted his head and asked in confusion, "The Elves said beans cannot be planted; only seeds work."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si scoffed, "Don't listen to their nonsense; the beans they sell are all boiled, of course they can't be planted. Seeds are just unboiled beans; otherwise, where do seeds come from? They are still borne on the Spirit Bean plants. It's not like your Number Three Demon Rice, which needs the Little Sapling's blessing to grow."

"Oh." Seeing Ange understood, turned his head, looked at the Evil God's little paw, pointed a finger, and said, "Look."

There, on the Evil God's little paw, lay two small things: one was an object resembling a seed, and the other resembled a bean.

It turned out that while talking to Seeing Ange, the little paw couldn't grab a bean, so it retracted; when it extended again, two such things appeared on its hand.

"Uh, what does this mean? A trade? Hey, can you hear me? Do you mean you want to trade?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si froze, asked the little paw directly, but the paw gave no reaction.

Seeing Ange took the things from the little paw and placed a Spirit Bean on it. The little paw squeezed them, and whoosh, it retracted instantly.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si took them over to look; one was indeed a seed, and the other looked very much like a bean, even carrying the scent of a bean.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si felt he had been cheated; the other party traded a thing of unknown nature and an ordinary bean for a single Spirit Bean?

"How did you discover this fellow?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Seeing Ange pointed to the sculpture's hand; it was a very ugly sculpture, the craftsmanship was not exquisite at all, the shape was very abstract, barely showing a person with mouth wide open, both palms facing upward, held up to the mouth.

Seeing Ange placed a Spirit Bean on the sculpture's upturned hand; whoosh, that furry paw immediately extended, pressed down on the Spirit Bean, and hooked it away.

It extended again, palm open, but the Spirit Bean was already gone from the paw.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si tentatively picked up a small stone and placed it on the paw.

The little paw squeezed it, immediately discarded it in disgust, throwing it back and smashing it into Lord Nai Ge Li Si's face.

"Yo, you're picky too?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si swapped it for a gold coin; picky. Swapped again for a Magic Crystal; still picky. Finally, he plucked a scale from his own body; still rejected.

The Little Angel shifted its body, squeezed Lord Nai Ge Li Si aside, and reached back to pluck a feather from its own wing.

The little paw immediately reached back, pressed down, and whoosh, hooked it away.

The Little Angel tilted its small head up to look at Lord Nai Ge Li Si with a proud and tsundere expression.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si was instantly furious; he plucked the scale just to test, and it didn't matter if it wasn't wanted, but what did this differential treatment mean? His dragon scales weren't as good as an angel's feather, was that it?

"Come out, come out and explain yourself clearly." Lord Nai Ge Li Si slapped his paw onto the sculpture's upturned hand; whoosh, the little paw shot out like lightning and pinned his paw.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si, terrified, quickly retracted his paw to avoid being hooked in, while feeling somewhat gratified in his heart; at least his paw was still considered desirable.

The furry little paw pawed a few times, found nothing, retracted, and when it extended again, two more beans appeared on its hand.

"One angel feather and you trade me two beans? You swindler! Do you know how expensive one angel feather is?!" Lord Nai Ge Li Si scolded.

Just as he finished speaking, he thought of a good way to make money: "Eh, right! Pluck all your feathers and sell them, then have Seeing Ange heal you, infinite production. Ouch, don't hit my face, don't peel my scales..."

Although the Little Angel didn't understand Lord Nai Ge Li Si's meaning, it understood "pluck all your feathers"; with a roar, it and the Little Zombie pounced, pinning Lord Nai Ge Li Si down and beating him.

Beaten until covered in dust and grime, he turned around to see the three little ones gathered before the sculpture again, teasing the cat with Spirit Beans.

"You guys play for a while, don't waste all the Spirit Beans. Also, how should these things be handled?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si sighed helplessly, holding a seed and three beans traded by the Evil God on the little paw, and asked.

"Eh, new beans? Never seen them. Are they tasty?" A voice from behind, Luther, reached out a hand and picked up one of the beans from Lord Nai Ge Li Si's hand.

Before he could stop him, Luther threw the bean into his mouth, crunched it twice, and instantly made a bitter face: "So bitter."

Unfortunately, it was already chewed, couldn't be spat out, so he could only swallow it, while complaining: "My Lord Nai Ge, when did you pick up these rotten beans? Why are they so terrible to eat?"

Lord Nai Ge Li Si didn't know what to say and asked cautiously, "Besides being terrible, do you have any other sensations?"

"Other sensations? Bitter, so bitter." Luther said with a bitter face.

"Anything else?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Luther shook his head: "Nothing."

"Come on, wipe your nose; you're bleeding from the nose." Lord Nai Ge Li Si pointed at his nose; there, from Luther's right nostril, a stream of blood was slowly trickling down.

Luther wiped it, saw it was indeed blood, and said carelessly, "Really bleeding from the nose; probably ate too well and got internal heat."

"I don't think you have internal heat; I think you're weak." Lord Nai Ge Li Si complained.

Unexpectedly, that casual complaint made Luther shy; he scratched his head: "No choice, the Sand People girls are too enthusiastic."

Far away, Lightning was leisurely chewing on a beetroot when suddenly its ears perked up; with the beetroot in its mouth, it floated over stealthily.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si took a moment to react: "Kua Ba Da, Luther, are you in love?"

A horse head popped out: "Oh, so you're in love. No wonder you haven't been seen lately. We fight to the death in the front, and you're in the back falling in love? How can you face us?"

"No, no, absolutely not, don't talk nonsense. It's just that you didn't call me. I'm always ready to serve my lord, but you guys run out every day without calling me. Eh, it's a bit hot; I'll take a bath first." Luther changed the subject and said, and whoosh, ran off toward the distant river.

It wasn't just hot; it was scorching. After swimming for over half an hour, Luther felt the temperature wouldn't drop. Now he realized something was wrong with him. He forced himself to run to Seeing Ange: "My Lord, something is wrong; my heartbeat is a bit fast."

Seeing Ange cast two Purification Spells on Luther; there was no reaction, and instead, the nosebleed started again. Seeing Ange wanted to cast one on his face to stop the bleeding, but was stopped by Lord Nai Ge Li Si.

"Nosebleeds might be due to high intracranial pressure; don't stop the bleeding yet, let's see what's happening. Your skin is a bit hot, and your heartbeat is fast; could it be poisoning? Do you feel anything wrong mentally?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"I feel mentally very excited." Luther said, "Poisoning? I didn't eat anything strange today, except for that bean just now. My Lord Nai Ge, what kind of bean was that?"

Lord Nai Ge Li Si spread his hands: "I don't know what kind of bean either; the Evil God gave it to us."

"Ah, My Lord, you want to kill me! You just give me the Evil God's things to eat." Luther complained.

"Did I give it to you? You snatched it! You snatched it! You snatched it! You snatched it! You snatched it! You snatched it! You snatched it!" Lord Nai Ge Li Si roared in anger; if there had been saliva, Luther would have had to wash his face with it.

His whole body was scorching, but it didn't threaten his life, so Lord Nai Ge Li Si didn't let Seeing Ange perform treatment, only giving him a plate of ice cubes.

Luther plunged his head in, lowered the temperature a bit, then uncontrollably summoned his Battle Qi, wildly threw a set of turtle punches, and steam rose from his body.

After repeating this several times, he shouted that he was hungry, and Seeing Ange threw him two Spirit Beans.

After one Spirit Bean went down, Luthar immediately felt power surging through his entire body, so he wildly threw a set of drunken swings, and after repeating this several times, he ate the second Spirit Bean.

A normal person only needs one Spirit Bean to satisfy a day's needs; even if Luthar is a Sword Saint, it's impossible for him to burn through the energy of one Spirit Bean in less than half an hour — clearly, he was in a state of extremely high consumption.

He hurriedly had someone stir-fry a plate of World Tree sprouts, and poured himself a cup of Sacred Essence Liquid to drink like water.

After eating and drinking these high-energy things, Luthar was like a man on stimulants, thrashing about until evening. In the end, he summoned a Qi Sword empty-handed, then collapsed face-first onto the ground: "I've broken through to high-rank."

Looking at Luthar sprawled on the ground, sleeping soundly and drooling, Seeing Ange checked him over and found no irreversible damage. After that, Lord Nai Ge Li Si's gaze at this one seed and two beans had completely changed.

Truly worthy of an Evil God's product — this effect is way too powerful, isn't it? It actually let an initial-rank Sword Saint advance on the spot to a high-rank Sword Saint?

Going from initial-rank Sword Saint to high-rank Sword Saint is a hurdle, yet some people can never step over it in their entire lives.

But Luthar probably doesn't have that hurdle — he could already break through to high-rank when gnawing on beets, so that's probably why he broke through so smoothly.

Of course, the Spirit Beans, World Tree sprouts, and Essence Liquid also helped a great deal; otherwise, the consumption from breaking through would be too great, and he might have run out of energy halfway and died.

But no matter what, being able to let an initial-rank Sword Saint level up on the spot — these beans are way too amazing. Truly worthy of an Evil God's product. Lord Nai Ge Li Si no longer finds the Evil God stingy now; a few Spirit Beans in exchange for one such level-up bean is an absolute steal.

Huh? Seems like there were two level-up beans, exchanged for one angel feather. Wow, just how many level-up beans could this little angel's pair of wings be exchanged for?

Glancing over casually, the little angel seemed to sense something, and her little face immediately scrunched up as she glared over fiercely.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si gave an awkward laugh and dismissed those unreliable thoughts.

"Ange, try to exchange as many of these level-up beans as possible. As for this seed, we don't know what it is — try planting it and see if it can grow. It's probably something good." Lord Nai Ge Li Si sidled up to Seeing Ange and said.

"Oh." Seeing Ange picked up the seed, reached out and stuffed it into the farm of the Resting Palace, casually found a spot and planted it, and also conveniently planted a level-up bean.

"Ah, right — if the level-up bean is a bean, then it can also be a seed. Plant it; if it can grow, we won't need to trade with the Evil God anymore." Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.

……

The Evil God seemed to have latched onto Seeing Ange. Every afternoon it would poke a little claw out of the sculpture, pat-pat-patting. When it couldn't pat anything, its entire little claw drooped down weakly, and it refused to pull it back for a long time.

Sometimes, when Seeing Ange happened to be beside the sculpture, he would give it a Spirit Bean. The little claw would get so excited it immediately stiffened, and after being pulled back it would immediately reach out again, with the little paw spread wide open.

Basically, for every five Spirit Beans, it would return one level-up bean. Even if it couldn't beg for five the day before, whatever it begged for the next day would be counted together with yesterday's — fair and just, no cheating of young or old. No wonder the three little ones could play with it; this sense of equivalent exchange is too on point.

As for that unknown seed, the Evil God never gave any more, and the beans were given one at a time. This made Lord Nai Ge Li Si feel that the seed wasn't given by the Evil God at all, but was something it had casually brought along when digging out the beans.

From the distant sky came the sound of flapping wings. The chubby, stubby Fat Wyvern landed from afar, and a figure flew up from its back, heading in Seeing Ange's direction. Halfway through the flight, it landed early and walked over.

The moment it saw the Fat Wyvern, Lightning immediately got excited, scooted over with quick little steps, and greeted it: "Oh-ho, isn't this Fatty Dragon? Long time no see! How've you been lately? Still letting people ride you?"

The moment the Fat Wyvern heard that voice, it didn't even bother turning its eyes — it simply closed them, folded its arms over its head. Can't see, can't hear.

Lightning was immediately stumped. If it won't listen or look, then its venomous tongue attacks and face-based taunts can't do anything — it can't exactly go over and pry its eyes open, can it?

After a few taunts with no response from the Fat Wyvern, Lightning could only turn around and leave dejectedly. Oh god, this fatso has found a way to counter it — no fun anymore.

Shamala walked toward Seeing Ange and began bowing from a distance: "Hello, Lord Ange. Hello, Lord Nai Ge."

Seeing Ange nodded, but Lord Nai Ge Li Si curiously asked: "What's going on with that wyvern? Did you tame it? How did you tame it?"

"I just beat it up once, and now it's my pet. Lord Ange, my little pet's whole body is itchy and its scales are falling off. It says every ten days, the people from the Silver Knight Order feed it a kind of medicine that can relieve the symptoms. I can roughly guess what it is, but I don't want to go to the Church. The voice in my heart tells me that you can cure this disease."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si looked at the Fat Wyvern in surprise: "No way — the Church of Light used the Mark of Corrosion on a wyvern?"

"Oh." Hearing "Mark of Corrosion," Seeing Ange already knew how to treat it. He ran over, flew dozens of circles around the Fat Wyvern, continuously casting Cleanse, and after casting over a thousand Cleanse spells, he cured the Fat Wyvern.

It sounds simple, but this kind of Cleanse — rank-two magic with rank-four effect — only Seeing Ange could cast over a thousand of them without even panting.

This was a form of silent intimidation. After casting a thousand Cleanse spells and flying back as if nothing had happened, Shamala's tone became several degrees more respectful: "The voice in my heart also tells me that the thing that was fighting me for divine power has now fallen into a plane where a strong wind is blowing."

"A plane where a strong wind is blowing? The Wind Elemental Plane?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"No, the wind there only blows at night," Shamala said.

"Pfft… I know where that is."
